After a few more hours of you hanging with Kazu you both decided it was time to hit the sack. You walked Kazu to your door. "Oi Kazu! Be here after school everyday around 5 so we can start your training. Dont be late or I'll sick Ringo on you!" you threatned laughing slightly as you saw him cringe.

"OK Kei-chan. Chill Ill be here. That is unless I get pulled off by Ikki to go somewhere." he stated mournfully.

"Well I better not be kept waiting. There are other things I could be doing you know." you stated matter-a-factly.

"Like what?" he said while smirking as you thought hard.

"Anon...Listening to music duh!" you said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. Kazu rolled his eyes at you and waved goodbye as he walked home. You smiled before turning back into the house and heading to your room. Kazu...hes not so bad after all huh? were your final thoughts before you fell asleep.

Later that night you were awoken by a familiar ringing noise. Reaching over you grabbed your phone from the nightstand.

Ring Ring

"Yo."

"Oi Kei. Wake up!"

You groaned into the phone. "What is it now?"

"I want you to come see something."

"What?"

"Just meet me outside my place ASAP. Ok?"

"Ugh. Fine. But I'm definitely not going to school tomorrow now…."

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever. C'mon."

"Alright. Ja ne."

"Ja ne"

You groaned and rolled out of bed. Damn Ringo. It's too late for this BS though angry you were intrigued by what RIngo would wake you up at this hour for. Hurrying, you threw on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt before grabbing your keys and running outside. You turned your iPod on to I Remember by Keisha Cole and made your way to Ringo's house. Just as you turned the final corner you were grabbed and pulled down an alleyway.

"What the fuck Ringo?!" you exclaimed before you were shushed by her hand.

"Shut up! Be quiet and come with." She motioned to stay silent with her hand as she walked carefully down the alley. Curious, you followed obediently only to see Ikki flying through the air on a pair of ATs.

"Ringo. When did he learn to do that?" you asked astonished by his ability to catch on so quickly.

"I…I don't know." Replied Ringo hesitantly. "He's the reason I called you out here."

You nodded and followed RIngo as she tailed Ikki. I'm not going to be able to keep up with them on foot… Coming to a decision you grabbed hold of RIngo and jumped on her back. "C'mon RIngo. Let's jet!"

Laughing she agreed and soon you two were off, right behind Ikki. "SOo…Do you think Simca taught him?" you asked slyly. You heard Ringo huff which caused you to burst out laughing. "Awww poor RIngos' jealous."

"Careful or I'll drop you." Retorted RIngo as she continued to keep up with Ikki on the ground. You laughed but said nothing more as you approached the AT shop. He couldn't possibly…

You watched as he disappeared from sight on the ground. "Ringo! Up above!" You shouted over the roar of her ATs. She nodded and you came upon the shop. You jumped off Ringo and dusted yourself off. "Eww this Old Hag." You stated plainly.

"Kei!" Ringo stated outraged. "That's so mean. She helped you when we were younger."

"I don't care." You responded indignantly. "I didn't like her then and I don't now. She's evil." You added as an afterthought. Ringo shook her head but said nothing as she rounded the corner to spy on Ikki. "This is a drag. I didn't wake up to spy on Ikki. I have better things to do."

"Like what?"

"Sleep." You replied simply. Ringo just rolled her eyes and continued to see what Ikki was up to. Irritated, you walked around to the front of the store. "Old Hag." You greeted dryly as you approached the counter. As quiet as you could be you never seemed to hold your tongue with this woman.

"My if it isn't Kei. I thought you had died or something. Too bad." Replied the old woman.

"Still the same as ever I see. Especially that annoying accent of yours." You replied smirking.

"You insolent little brat. You can go join the boy out there if you want."

You laughed. "I'll pass. Thanks for the offer but I don't work with idiots. Not even talented ones."

She laughed as well. "Yes he is an idiot isn't he? Something we can finally agree on."

You smirked before giving her a wave and making your way back to Ringo.

"Don't forget to stop by if you ever start back up again. I ALWAYS valued your business."

You rolled your eyes as you turned the corner, almost running into RIngo. "Well? Are we done now?"

She nodded and you grabbed her ATs, putting them on before jumping to a lower level. Tossing them back to her, you waved before making your way back home. "See ya Ringo."
