Next Day...
I wake up. Candi is cuddle to my chest still, holding that sock monkey of hers. I sigh. I look over to where Saph was last night and she is still there, sound asleep. I gently move my sister to the pillow, so I can do my morning kata's I've done sense I was 9. She stirs a little, but stays asleep. After I do the kata's, I grab my cell phone and start to text Sakura.
"Hey. What's up?"I text her,with a smirk on my face. Yes, I'm thinking about her ass. Screw you I'm 14, and have hormones. I wait for her to reply.
"What are you doing?" she replies.
"Waiting for everybody to wake up." I text back.
"Aw...poor you. Is someone in your room with you?"she asks.
"Yeah, my little sister, and my cousin."I reply.
"Which cousin?"she asks.
"Sapphire"I type, and press send.
"Oh. Why did she just start going to school later than everyone else?" she asks again. Sakura has a lot of questions this morning.
"She's never been home with us. Or been to school. "I answer her.
"I am guessing there is more to it then just that." she texts.
"Of course. So...anything in the council I should be worried about?"I text her. Sakura, is the vice president, in the Council of Ten. Which is the student body council, from elementary to high school.
"Not at the moment."she answers. I hear Saph begin to stir. Is she waking up?
"Yoshi?"she asks rubbing her eyes.
"Yeah?"I whisper back forgetting my vibrating phone. Saph looks over at me. Her hair look a little frizzy from sleeping, which is kinda cute I might add. She smiles as she says
"I think you got a message on the cell." Reminding me of my phone
"Oh...okay..."I smile at her. I look at the message then tell Sakura I gotta go.
"Who were you talking to? " Saph asks her big blue eyes glued to my face.
"Sakura."I admit to her. As if lying to her is like the mightiest sin. She giggles at my expression. "What?" I ask as a blush forms on my face.
"Oh nothing..."she grins at me. She gets up to get ready for Friday. I flop back onto my bed and shake my sister to make her get up.
"I don't have to go to school." she mutters.
"Says who?" I grin as I start to tickle my little sister to wakefulness.
"Says the principal of the elementary." she grumbles slapping my hands away then cuddling with her sock monkey. I hear Saph laugh. I look over at the door too my room. She has changed into a black skirt that goes to her knees in length, and a silvery colored tank top. Most of her hair is pulled back into a ponytail.
"Nice outfit."I comment with a smirk. Why can't that skirt come up shorter. Just to her mid-thighs. I'm begging.
"Thanks, I guess." She say blushing a little tugging at the skirt almost, like she hopes it would get longer. She sighs.
"Well...my turn to get dressed."I turn to my drawer and grab to put on jeans, comfy of course and a Death the Kidd t-shirt. Yes, I'm a fan. Deal with it. I dress after she left the room before heading out with shoes and my backpack. I hear Saph giggle.
"Big fan huh?" she says gesturing to my shirt.
"Oh, hell yeah."I state smirking feeling something similar to what I felt last night as I watch her smile back.
"Saaaappphhh! You forgot the high heels!" I hear Ruby shout breaking the mood that was building. I glance at Saph and I see her cringe slightly. So that's why she is wearing this outfit.
"Ruby...flats are fine with this..."she sighs.
"How dare you!"Ruby yells, pouting.
"If I wear high heel I'll fall on my face." Saph states calmly "You want that to happen?"
"No..."Ruby sighs, brushing a strand of brown hair out of her face. I shake my head and continue to walk.
"Good" Saph says as she catches up to me.
"so... If you don't mind me asking... Who is Amy?" Saph asks me.
"Just some girl who thought she could cheat on me, and not have to pay the consequences."I shrug frowning a little.
"Oh... well... she was stupid for doing that." Saph states sounding honest in her opinion.
"Thanks. " I tell her as we arrive at the school black top. Holy shit, soccer balls... must kick them! I drop my bag and run like hell, to the ball and kick it at Jake.
"Yo bro! Where ya been?"he asks in his husky, surfer-guy like voice.
"Saving the fucking day, dude."I laugh back at him. I hear Saph laugh.
"Looks like fun!" she calls out.
"FUCK YEAH IT IS!"we call back to her. We kick the ball between us for a little bit before a streak of blonde hair crosses in front of me and kicks the ball away from me startling me a little.
"Your too slow Yoshi." I hear Saph laugh as she kicks the ball to Jake. I blink in surprise.
I get over it grinning a little, and run after him, swiping the ball away from his feet, and run over to the make-shift goal. I kick it in. Hard. Then Saph stops the ball in it's tracks. She bounces the ball on her knee smirking slightly at my direction, almost like she is trying to egg me on.
"Oh...you little..."I run at her with all my speed, and swing my leg, making contact with her knees. As she tries to keep her balance I steal the ball and score a goal.
"FUCK YES!"I scream. "Ouch!" I turn to see that Saph had fallen down. She sighs as she gets up.
"Sorry, but you can't go up against me. I'm the captain of the soccer team." I tell her rubbing the back of my neck.
"Has any of the members on your team stopped the ball before?" she asks smirking slightly.
"Just Joey,and Jake."I tell her. She grins
"I guess I'm number three." she smiles brightly. This is the Saph I remember from before she was taken.
"I guess you are."I smile back.
"So...when's your game?"she asks blushing.
"Next Saturday,hope you can come."I say with a wink knowing that it is a joke. Our family always comes to any event for any member of the Hamato family children.
"I'll try. " she smiles, walking away. I smile at her back. Turning to go back to kicking soccer balls when no more than five minutes I hear IT.
"You better fucking get away from me you, sheep-boy." Saph's voice projects toward the front of the school. I turn around, swiftly. She's yelling at Arata, the sheep boy. Seriously? This early in the day? His cocky smirk, just gets bigger, and bigger. He reaches out at her face with his big bass player's hand.
"Come on...I just want one little ki-OFFFMMP!"he gets cut off by a smack to the face, delivered by fiery eyed Hamato. He falls on his ass. I stifle a chuckle. Looks like she is steadily getting more confidant. But, my gaze snaps onto Arata. He's gotten up, and glaring at Saph. He raises his hand up past his peripheral vision. Oh hell no! I dash up faster than I ever ran before behind him, and grab his wrist just before he makes contact with her face.
"How dare you!"I shout at him,pinning him down to the concrete-ground, face down. I sit on his back. I twist his arm back, until he howls in pain.
"Don't ever try that again, you jack-ass."I hiss between my teeth. Meanwhile, the crowd around us has formed to full magnitude, and chanting.
"FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!". How cliche. I get off him, as soon as he nods. I walk over to Saph calmly.
"You okay?"I ask her, checking her immediate body parts. The arms, the legs, the face, the neck. For any sign of damage.
"I'm fine. He didn't touch me. " she says,with a nervous grin of gratitude, plastered onto her face. I chuckle at her. I relax slightly glad I stopped that before she got hurt.
"Fine...just trying to help." I say walking back to my soccer ball.

Yoshi: About shelling time!
Me: Hey! The doctors said my mom might have cancer. My mom is more important then story writing. I'll try to get the next chapter up soon but it may be a while. ;)
