YAYNESS! Chapter Four! I am really happy for this chapter, because you get to see some Yaoi in this chapter! ^_^ Well, if you squint really hard, you have already seen yaoi in this before, but this time it's more blatant. So if you haven't realized that this fanfic has yaoi in it and a lot of it will as well as yuri and hetro, then we are on two...separate...wavelengths...-.-

Chapter Four

Telephone

"Not gonna stop, not gonna, I don't want to talk anymore."

"Hayabusa-sama!"

Looking back of me, I saw Kasumi greeting a very tall, very masculine, very handsome man. He had suntanned skin, with leaf green eyes and bark-colored hair. And using the smarts I had, I knew that this had to be Ryu that these people had been talking about.

"It's good to see you again, Kasumi-san." he replied, he had this smile towards Kasumi that made believed that he wouldn't mind tapping her. But it wasn't like that, it was more like it was just that he liked her, then again, I like her, not like that, but I think she's cute.

"You guys don't have to keep using formalities like that." Hayate butted in, his hand was on my shoulder, like he was trying to push me out of the conversation. "Besides, aren't you too arranged to be wed?"

What?! W-w-w-wed?! At this age? He's actually tapping that?! Oh...my...god...Japan is weird.

"T-that's right." Kasumi replied, her eyes dodging her brother, I've never seen her be so afraid of her brothers eyes. "It's going to be next summer."

so Kasumi had a fiance. Didn't see that coming, then again, I guess I don't see a lot of things coming. Ever since I got to this school at least. I look at Hayate's hand on my shoulder. It was squeezing me quite hard. I think he was trying to break my shoulder. But when I looked at his face, I saw that he was smiling, smiling at Ryu. It was such a huge contrast between his face and his hand. Why was he-?

"You better hurry Ryu, your round is going to start soon." Hayate said, continuing to smile at Ryu. What's with this guy?

"You're right, my friend." Ryu replied, he then walked away, passed Hayate, and this may sound weird. Even a little awkward, but I think, by the way Hayate's hand was squeezing my shoulder, I think when Ryu passed him, he wanted to do one of two things: punch him or cry.

Kasumi went on with her conversation with Kokoro and the other girls, chatting and what not, I saw Ayane close by, she was staring at me, like she knew what I was thinking. Then she just turned away. Back to Hayate, his eyes were diverted to the ground, his mind looked to be somewhere else. Nowhere to be found. I started to get this uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach. Was I feeling sorry for him? What for?

"H-hayate..." I murmured, choking on my words. "are...you...okay?"

He didn't answer for the longest time, the feeling inside my stomach seem to boil up to my throat, like I was going to throw up. "I-"

"Wu-tai!"

I knew that "wu-tai!" anywhere, even if I had know him for awhile. Jann Lee jumped into our conversation, or should I say jumped on us. Maybe not literally, but damn close enough.

"So Eliot man, whaddya think? whaddya think? Think I'm gonna win? I know I am, not be narcissist or anything, but I got this, man! I got this! I've been training for weeks for this battle! Me against Ryu Hayabusa, the Super Ninja~! Yeah! I am so pumped!"

Man, people are so weird. Especially at this school.

"I must inform all of you that your newest mission is to inject the DOA virus into a Eliot McGuire, he goes to the Academy, and we must complete it so make it your top priority."

"Why haven't we heard about this boy before? Shouldn't we be worried about the Ninjas?"

"We will take of them too, we have someone on the inside taking care of it already. But we must take care of this boy, he is new and hasn't been infected."

"Who's on the inside? The Miss?"

"That information is highly classified, but just to satisfy you, yes, it is the Miss."

"I've always wondered the Miss's purpose in this organization, doesn't she dislike-?"

"That will not be discussed right now, all we will discuss is the mission."

"Well then, what about Alpha-152? How's our little princess doing?"

"She's sleeping inside the Crucible. And that is all I am saying."

"Whatever you say."

~*~

"Hayate! Hayate you baka! Over here!"

The past seemed closer and closer to Hayate's mind, he remembered the days at the village. What the rain felt like, and the sun overruling you, and the breeze inside your soul. He remembered the days of fun, laughter, and friends.

"BAKA!"

He could remember when Ayane would insult him playfully and smack him on the head. He would just smile back at her, then tickle her to her heart's delight. Then his sister, Kasumi, would laugh at their side, until they all ran off into the forest, to the springs, squealing and their hearts filled with happiness.

"I would like you to meet Kasumi's arranged husband, Ryu Hayabusa."

He remembered the day when he met Ryu, the older, smarter, beautiful boy that made Hayate's heart melt. He never thought once if the feelings he felt for him were wrong or right, he just knew that they were there. You could say it was just a crush at first, but later it was more than that.

Way more.

"It's a pleasure to meet you."

He could remember how the hands of his first friend, were incredibly large and soft, and he never wanted to let them go.

But no matter what his feelings were for him, he knew the reality of it all. Ryu was Kasumi's fiance. Arranged to be wed. His first crush, no, his first love, was never met to be with him.

Then again, even if Kasumi and Ryu weren't meant to be wed, he still couldn't be with him. He never thought of himself once as gay, but that's what other people would call him. They wouldn't respect either of them anymore, and Hayate didn't want to be disrespected. Well, that's what he always told himself, deep down, he didn't want to hurt Ryu, so he kept his feelings inside.

The only person who knew, was the only person who loved him from the start. Ayane. But they couldn't be, he loved her, but only as a friend.

Could he ever find love?

~*~

As Ryu's and Jann Lee's battle raged on, Hayate's mind seemed to wander off. I wondered what he was thinking, he had a peculiar look on his face, like he was reminiscing. Which was probably what he was doing. Which then again made me want to reminisce.

I was bullied at my school a lot when I was little, my mother insisted that we talk to the principal and take care of this in a orderly fashion. But my father just thought that if I learned some self-defense, then I'd be fine fending myself off. Well, in case you don't know or at least don't know me, self-defense classes are for complete and utter sisses. I mastered it in less of than a week, and I was a kid! I wanted to upgrade into something more cooler. So I asked my dad.

He had no idea what to do.

We lived in a small community in Britain, so tiny that they didn't really have anything that was like martial arts classes of the sorts. So it was extremely difficult for me. It wasn't until I was having a conversation with my parents about it and Master was eavesdropping and chipped in the conversation. And first though he was speaking in Chinese and I had absolutely no possible idea what he was saying, it wasn't until some punks from my school was trying to bother me and he totally kicked their asses and got kicked out of the restaurant that I finally said to him.

"Do you give lessons?"

So finally he gave me lessons at a nearby dojo of his a few miles out of town and he train with me two times a week, sending me back home with bruises and a note that I must practice every day.

It was difficult at first, I've never had this level of difficulty set upon me in all my life, but Gen Fu always told me at the end of each lesson that I did well. That's what kept me going.

That's what got me to where I am now.

I look back at Hayate, still reminiscing I suppose. I started to form a deep thought inside my head, and wondered what brought Hayate to where he is now. What made him have that determine look in his eyes, what made him be so stern, so serious, so...much like a jerk!

"Something wrong?"

I stop staring hazily at him and focus my view, he was looking back at me, his lips forming the words that I heard through my ears. My eyes transformed into saucers, then I saw Hayate's hand...reaching towards my face.

"What's the matter? Are you feeling alright?"

His hand touched my forehead, I never noticed how large his hand was, or how warm it was. It was like his warmth went surging through my face, and made my cheeks tinted pink.

My heart began thumping, I kept composed, but it was a weird feeling for me, just weird. I didn't know what to say. I wanted to say "Get your hand out of my face!" but another part of me wanted to say...well...I'm not so sure, but that part of me wanted to keep his hand on my face. It was so warm, so relaxing, everything seemed to melt away.

What the french toast?! What on Earth am I saying? I'm sounding...like...like...some petty fag! I took control of my body and took a step back, everything going in slow-mo. I stared into his eyes, he stared into mine.

This. Was. The. Most. Stupidest. Moment. In. My. Life.

I turned around and catch my breath, he must think I'm a total doof, but that didn't matter right now.

"Eliot?"

His voice, sounded so concern, wait, didn't he not like me? Why would he be concerned? Why should he be concerned?

"I-i'm fine." I replied, I stared at my feet, my face still warm from his heat. This is so weird.

"WINNER! Ryu Hayabusa!"

Yeah...another shorty. But hey! At least you got to see some interesting stuff, right?...Right? RIGHT?!

Well crap, guess not. This actually got out faster than I expected, but then again. IT'S SHORT!

...Then again, I am starting up a Jaxter story and a BeVin oneshot. So XP

Yum...yaoi...in my tummy.

Sorry to people who looked at this and said, "WTF? Eliot looked like a fag! And Hayate? Loves Ryu? GASPETH!" Because honestly, I distinctly said that there is going to be YAOI and SHONEN AI in this~! So double XP

Please leave a review if you likey! Pretty please?
