ok, I know, I know. I haven't updated in FOREVER. Well, there's a few (not neccasarily good ones) reasons for that. One, I've started High school and let the Homework parade begin! Two, I've ended the Tyson's Twin series and started Tyson's Twin V2, the sequel, and I wanted to have that go for a while. Three, the computer lost the entire tenth chapter (this one because I forgot to save...)(Chibi Black Cat sniffs), so I had to rewrite it, but I needed a new inspiration. Apparently I found it, and here it is! But, the inspiration was sort of a last resort thing, so this might be really really crappy ('crap' has been my favorite word as of late...), and I know it! If any one's thinking about critizing reviews, I will happily (more or less) accept them on the next chapter.

"Ok…so far so good…" Tysa thought as she looked around the corner. "Now, to pray she doesn't see me…"

"Who doesn't see you, sis?" Tyson asked from behind her. Tysa let out a silent scream.

"Quiet, you!" Tysa hissed, not looking at her brother. "I'm trying to avoid someone…"

"Who do you want to avoid?" Tysa let out another silent scream. Tyson turned around.

"Hey, Max."

"Something wrong with Tysa?" Max asked. Tyson shrugged.

"There is nothing wrong with me!" Tysa said, turning around to yell at the two boys. "I'm trying to hid from someone…"

"Who, Tysa?" Tysa let out the third silent scream. Tyson turned his head to the side.

"Bossy conventions all full, Hil?" he asked skeptically. Hilary scowled.

"I'm surprised you know what that word means."

"What, conventions? Bossy?"

"Full, Mr. Black-hole-for-a-stomach." It was Tyson's turn to scowl. Tysa sighed.

"Well, if we're all done here, I'm going to leave…" Tysa said, starting to sneak off.

"Not so fast, Tysa." Hilary said, stopping her.

Crap…Tysa thought. She followed Hilary to another hallway, away from two confused guys. When Hilary turned back around, she gave Tysa the widest grin she had ever seen. Double crap…

"So…was that him?" Hilary asked smugly. Tysa shuddered a bit under the unwanted pressure.

"Uh…who, my brother or Max?"

"You know what I mean, Tysa!"

"…I plead the fifth?" Hilary stared at Tysa.

"We don't even live in America…" Hilary stated, catching Tysa's mistake. "You're really defensive about this boy, aren't you? I haven't seen you act like this besides…"

"Uh…forget that!" Tysa stated, wanting to get out of it.

"Hmm…I don't know…" Hilary said, giving Tysa an analyzing look. "You don't actually like this guy, do you?"

"Well, if I hated him I wouldn't hang around him…"

"You know what I mean!" Hilary snapped at Tysa as she tried to leave again. Then Hilary sighed. "Well, hey, I'm happy for you. It's about time you got over…I mean, never mind." Tysa narrowed her eyes at Hilary. You know what they say…an eye for an eye…

"Well, Hilary, do you know the latest rumor around the school?"

"What?" Hilary asked. Tysa smirked.

"You and Tyson are dating each other."

"What?!" Hilary yelled as Tysa ran off laughing. "You come back here, Tysa!"

"Hey, opposites attract, Hilary!"

--a while later--

Kia walked down the entrance steps of Suzuki in an angry mood. Kai seemed to be avoiding her all day, and she didn't like it. As she was grumbling, she noticed Tysa waiting at the usual spot. An idea then struck her (so things do go on in that mind…)

"Hey, Tysa!" Kia greeted cheerfully as she ran up to her.(that girl should take acting classes).

"Oh, hey, Kia." Tysa said, then tilted her head to the side. "Um…is Kai coming out soon?"

"Forget Kai." Kia stated. "Let's have some girl talk, huh?" She grabbed Tysa's arm and started to pull her away from the school.

"Um…I dunno, Kia…"

"Oh, come on! It'll be fun." Kia assured. Kai walked down the steps and saw Kia dragging Tysa away. He blinked.

What's Kia up to now? He thought as he started to follow them.

"Resorting to stalking, Kai?" Kai didn't react, but turned his head into the nearby alley.

"Go screw yourself, Tala." Kai scowled. "I am not stalking."

"Following, stalking, same thing."

"No. I am following. You are stalking. Difference is: It's creepy." Tala forced a laugh.

"So, dare I ask, why are you following?"

"Why are you asking?"

"Because, the wildest thought that you care passed me, but then I thought back and remembered there'd be no way." Kai glared darkly. "Oh, yes, and one more thing. Remember our little bet?"

"What bet?" Kai asked.

"Of course, you'd forget. If you don't remember, it's been more than a week. You drop your claim on her." The realization hit Kai hard, but he would never show Tala that satisfaction. He just stood there and stared forward as Tala walked down the opposite side of the street and laughed.

"Ah, this seems like a good place." Kia stated as she dragged Tysa inside a café. "Of course, you're treating, right?"

"Um…" Tysa felt shaken by pressure again. "O-ok…." Kia beamed.

"Good!" She dragged Tysa over to a nearby booth and they sat on opposite sides. They ordered and Kia leaned forward. "So…I'm curious. How did you meet Kai?"

"Huh?"

"Well…you don't seem like the type of girl he'd usually see."

"S-see? As in dating?"

"Well, aren't you?"

"N-no!" Tysa said louder than intended as their drinks came by. "We're just friends."

"Oh, really?"

"Yeah."

"Hmm." Kia smile started to turn into a small smirk and made a dark part of Tysa manifest.

"You don't seem like the type of girl he'd usually see either." Tysa said, narrowing her eyes. Kia looked up from her drink, and Tysa snapped back, resisting the immediate urge to cover her mouth. What's going on? I don't usually say that type of thing…Instead of saying something back, Kia smiled again.

"Guess that shows how much you really know about him." Kia said, faking a sigh of pity. Tysa gulped a bit. She would admit that maybe she didn't know that much about Kai, but what she did know was kept secret from any other girl. But still, Tysa was curious about what she meant.

"What do you mean?"

"You haven't heard Kai's reputation?"

"I have, but…"

"He often takes girls like me and breaks their hearts. So to speak, I am his 'type of girl'."

"If you know, then why try a relationship?" The dark Tysa spoke again (the return of!).

"Because, I'm confident, that's why." Kia responded, taking a sip of her drink. Tysa suddenly felt the urge to leave. She looked at her watch.

"Aaah, crap!" she exclaimed. "I have to help Brother with his homework!"

"Oh, you have a brother?"

"Yeah. Twin brother." Tysa explained. "Gotta go!" she ran out the door and as far from it as possible. She let out a huge exhale. "Thank god, I got out of there…" (she should take acting classes too…)

"Because, I'm confident, that's why."

"Confident…" Tysa pulled out the chain around her neck and took a long look at the wing charm. "…I wonder…what Kai sees me as." She then gripped the charm tightly, then walked home on the empting sidewalk.

Like I said (or feel) it's crappy.

Tohru: No it's not.

Sakura: You pick now to be more supportive?!

Tohru: Hey, compared to my writing it's Shakespeare, ok?!

Sakura: Um...ok...

Mizuki Sakura (and Sango Tohru)

Sakura: See, look! Again you mess up my signature! Why?!

Tohru: Cuz it's fun?
