As I walked down the corridor to the meeting room Leo grabbed my wrist. I turned to look at him, and was surprised to see the worried look on his face.

"Why'd you drop Lissa?" He asked me.

"She woke me up and tackled me because I didn't know where her precious Fang was." I rolled my eyes.

"Maybe you should apologize?" He suggested quietly. He wrapped his arms around my waist. "Please Maxie?"

I looked at him like he was crazy but wrapped my arms around his neck and rested my forehead against his. My eyes slowly fluttered closed and I sighed heavily. "Fine. But only for you."
My eyes opened and I saw him smiling at me. "Good girl." I growled at him and he started laughing as he leaned down to kiss me.

It was soft at first, like an 'I'm so glad your okay' kiss, but it soon escalated into a rougher, more hungry kiss. I tilted my head to get a better angle and kissed him long and hard,
pulling him closer. His hands slowly slid down from my waist to my ass and squeezed, causing me to moan. I tangled my fingers into his long hair and felt him smirk against my lips.

Before it could go any farther, a throat was cleared loudly to my right. We broke apart to see Fang standing there. Our eyes met and I saw something flash behind them.
An emotion I couldn't quite figure out. Leo, on the other hand was pissed.

"What do you want, Tooth?" He snarled at Fang. As for Fang, I have to give the boy credit, didn't flinch at the viciousness of Leo's voice.

"I was just walking to the meeting room where Angel told me to meet her and I see you two pressed up against a wall practically eating each other." Fang said with disgust evident in his voice.

Leo smirked evilly. "What's wrong boy? Are you jealous?"

"Of you? With her? God no. I'd much rather stab my eyes out with a spork than kiss her." Fang snapped. I jerked back, hurt by his words.
His eyes flicked over to me and I quickly put on an emotionless face.

"Good. Because there's no way in hell that I'd ever kiss you." I growled, furious because of the fact that I had let him into my house and in my car and this was how
I was repaid. By his whiney girlfriend waking me up and tackling me, then his cutting remarks and apparent disgust towards me.

Leo looked ready to kill Fang, because he had seen the hurt flash across my face at Fang's remark. I placed a hand on his chest and shook my head. He wasn't worth
Leo's time. He kissed me again and moved to let me out from where I was pinned to the wall. Walking away, I grabbed his hand and pulled him along behind me.

The meeting room was another large garage like area, only with two large square tables pressed up against one another, so everyone could sit there during our gang's meeting.
On the far wall was a large plasma flat screen television. Hooked up to that were an XBOX 360, a PS3 and a webcam. Why would we have a webcam you ask? Its so our boss, Dr.
Gunther-Hagen or Dr G-H as we call him for short, can contact us and give us places and times for fights. Yes, I said fights. You see me, Leo Ari and Gazzy are street fighters.
The best in the business to be exact.

It all started when I got back to America. Some man on the streets recognized me and started telling others that he had seen "Hawaii's Thunderbird"
on the streets. So naturally people began looking for me and trying to start fights with me. This is how Leo found me. I had finally given in and agreed to fight a man named Omega in a
warehouse in an abandoned docking complex.

Leo happened to be there on G-H's orders to look for new fighters. So after our fight was announced and we started with Omega winning, and the crowd around us chanting "Omega, Omega!"
over and over I finally landed a blow that changed the fight in my favor. I had hit him in the temple and he staggered, and that was all the opening I had needed.

I tackled him, and began landing blow after blow on his face and chest. Omega was to weak to defend himself and I won. The crowd was stunned that a small girl like me had beaten their city's
best fighter. Slowly they stirred, handing over money to the few who decided to bet on me.

As I got up and walked away from the small arena, I heard footsteps jogging behind me. I spun around, with fists up incase it was an angry fan. But it wasn't. Instead it was a tall man,
only a few years older than me, with long shaggy black hair and piercing green eyes. He was muscular to the point he looked menacing, but not overly muscled like he took steroids.

He motioned for me to follow him and I had done so warily. He told me his name was Leo Rinehart and he worked for a man named Gunther-Hagen who wanted me to join his small,
elite streetfighing gang. He offered me a place to live with a bed and food every day and I instantly agreed.

We walked to his car and he drove me directly to their base where I met G-H for the first time. We had talked for a while and he agreed to let me join after seeing footage of my recent fight.

That night as I lay in my new bed I couldn't stop grinning. I had found a home.
