-DRAMA PILAGE-
"BREEZY!!!!!" a loud, strong femine voice screamed through the thick black air.
I couldn't see anything. I couldn't feel anything. I couldn't even really hear anything but my name being yelled repeatedly over and over. I blinked as I noticed that the sky, so dark and deep a blue it looked purple; kept being replaced with the sight of a pure black rocky surface. It took me until my back slammed into the tree trunk behind me to realize that I had been rolling on the ground. I gasped and gagged on my own blood that swelled over and overflowed out of my throat. I cringed and forced myself over onto my stomach, ignoring the protest from my agonized bones and snapping muscles.
I sat up on all fours and scanned the area. There was a long empty road, black as the nothingness that swallows me when the lights go out. There was a small red honda thrown to the side of the road, or was that only a piece of what was left of it. I continued to look and blinked when I saw pieces of red metal scattered all over the place in many different sizes and shapes. The only part of the car that stuck out to me the most was the one right in the center of the road. It looked like the complete inside of the car. It was then that I noticed that my name had stopped being called.
I stood up and walked over to it the best as I could, trying to ignore the snaps and pops I could hear coming from every tendant in my body. As I neared it, the smell of burning flesh was all too strong and it made my stomach turn. I didn't want to see what it was slumped in the seat but I knew curiosity would soon overtake me and I would eventually look, so why not get it over with.
As I rounded the large moltened object, I frowned as something tugging at my memory to look behind me. I ignored it and kept walking then wished I hadn't.
Sitting in the seat before me, all burned and scorced like an over used piece of coal, were my little sisters. I felt the rest of my strength snap as my retired limps finally given up on pleading with me and took matters in their own hands. I crumpled to the ground, shaking with numbing pain and confussion and furry. Who had done this? Had there been a wreck? If so then where is the other car? Or was the other car red as well and some of the debri was part of it? Or am I just making up these questions to escape the truth?
I shivered as coldness overcame not only my being, but my heart as well. My mind went black and it was like I was breathing but not alive. Far off in the distance I heard my name being called one more time. I suddenly found the last of my strength and, as instructed by the remaining segment of my consciousness instructed, turned and looked up into the smiling eyes of my killer.
I stared up at him, unmoving, not thinking, just taking in his features. Super pale skin, narrow eyes, purple markings around those eyes, and a long tongue that rememinded me grossly of a snake. I wanted to scream at the top of my lungs and demand, ruthelessly, what he had done to me and my family. But as I opened my mouth, the fierceness I had imagined was nowhere to be found. "Did you do this?"
The man didn't answer me, he just grinned more, that sickening tongue of his running across his entire face, removing the blood that I didn't even realize was there until now. "Where's...where's my mom? And dad? Where are they?" This time the man moved only his head, jerking his chin behind him, pointing me in the direction of my parents.
My limbs screamed with ever effort I gave to stand but I didn my best to ignore it as much as I could. It wasn't too hard with my heart pounding caotically in my ears. It almost felt like if I coughed it would pop right out of my mouth. I staggered past the stranger, moving towards the trees, and looked back at him a bit confised, but he was gone. I blinked, turning back around and that's when I heard it.
My mother's scream rose high in the air and it pierced my heart, deflating it, making it drop from my throat to the very bottom of my stomach. I was moving in a flash. Somehow, I managed to dart through the trees as fast as cheetah, hunting down the whereabouts of my mom's screams.
When I had thought I had reached the area, there was nothing there. Not one person, not one hint of where my mom was, not even one tree that was supposed to be in this area. Just a large, empty grassy plain with blood markings on the grass. Blood markings.
I narrowed my eyes, moving towards the blood and looking at it. I didn't have to bend down to smell that it was indeed my mom's blood. Now I just had to find her. So the blind search began. I sniffed the air and tore through the trees once more, running to find my mother and what I did find was sickening to my stomach. Coming to a complete stop before what I had been searching for and had been so afraid to find, I fell to my knees and I couldn't hold back the acidy burn in the back of my throat. My body learched forward.
Gasping, I shot up in bed, my forehead covered in sweat. I wrapped my arms around my quivering torso, trying so hard to stop the violant reaction of the reenactment my mind forced me to relive last night. To my sastisfaction, Evelyn had gotten up and was in the bathroom showering. Good. I didn't want her to see me like this.
Rolling out of bed, I forced my shaking body to move and get to my dresser, there I collasped on the floor, gasping again. My chest burned tightly and I thought that my rib cage was closing in on my lungs, but I knew that wasn't so.
I closed my eyes, concentrating, focusing on things that calmed me, and soon the shaking ceased. But I knre that even that luxiery will be short lived.

I walked down stairs to see my father converesing with the guests we picked up last night about I didn't even want to focus on what, and headed straight for the kitchen, fishing for my iPod to block their voices out. I was determined on following my dad's advice and focus on things one at a time, first on the list was making it through school today.
I sighed over my bowl of cereal and blinked when a piece of paper hit me in my temple. I looked over at my dad and yanked a headphone out my ear. "Really?"
"Well you have that thing in your ears." He said lamely, shrugging.
I shook my head. "An iPod and I have it on for a reason." I rolled my eyes.
"You know you're going to have to face this conversation later on today, right?"
I looked at him and waved my spoon. "Ah! One thing at a time."
He chuckled. "I guess I deserved that. Well, while you're here, let me introduce you to the shinobi teams here."
I nodded as he said names and I said "Hello"'s and "Hey"'s when I saw fit as I pieced names with features that I'd grown acustommed to.
Gia-sensie: a tall man with a mushroom haircut, bushy eyebrows, in green spandex pants. In his team were Rock Lee: a mini Gia; TenTen: a girl with her hair in pigtails and both of them in buns; and Neji Hyuuga: the blind looking boy who's actually not blind with super long brown/black hair.
Kurenia-sensie: a woman with red eyes and curly black hair. In her team were Kiba Inuzuka: a boy with spiky brown hair, red marks on his cheeks, and a humongous dog that I had to shapeshift to fit in his jacket for the time bieng; Hinata Hyuuga: a girl with super long blue hair that was blindish looking like Neji, his cousin; and Shino Abarume: a boy with black shades.
Asuma Sarutobi: the only man with a beard and a cigarrette that he obviously kept in his mouth at all times, whether lit or not. In his team were Choji Akimichi: a tubby boy with spiky brown hair; Ino Yamanaka: the blonde who called me "a she that looks like a he"; and Shikamaru Nara: a lazy-ass with his hair in a ponytail.
and last but not least, my dad's team. Naruto Uzumaki: the blonde boy with large blue eyes; Sakura Haruno: the pink haired girl I rescued some time ago; and Sauke Uchiha: the dark haired/dark eyed boy who's eyes I swear I know.
Conviniently after we had all gotten aquanted, the doorbell rang and I moved to hop off the stool but my dad shook his head. "Finishing eating, I'll get it."
I shrugged and got resituated on the stool, focusing on eating, looking every now and then out of the corner of my eye to see Sasuke still looking at me and Ino glaring holes in the side of my neck. I sighed. I knew how that was going to play out.
I was so wrapped up in thought I had no idea MSA was sneaking up behind me. "WAKE UP!!!!!" they all yelled.
I jumped so hard I fell right off the stool, causing everyone to laugh. "Ouch...gosh guys, what a hello.
They laughed harder. "I know, right. It was Moose's ideas." Andie said grinning.
Moose nodded. "That's right. When your dad let us in I was like, "Aww look at her daydreaming. Let's scare the crap out of her" and that's how it happened."
I shook my head. "How cunningly evil of you." I laughed atanding up. "Awesome."
He shrugged. "Yeah. It's whatever."
I laughed and shook my head. "Anyway, you guys ready to go?"
"Gosh, how much more stupid can you get?" I glared at Monster. He he goes, starting up some confusion first thing in the morning. "Of course we're ready if we're at your house to get you, stupida. The question is, are you ready."
I narrowed my eyes at him then smiled. "Of course I'm ready. And I remembered your shoe size too. 81/2 and you want at least 6in heels." I patted his shoulder and he growled at me. I blinked. "We'll stop and get you a rabez shot on the way to the shoe store."
The crew bursted in laughter and Monster narrowed his eyes at me. I smiled innocently, making my eyes big and child-like as I shrugged. His eyes narrowed further and after a moment he smiled too, making my innnocent grin turn into a real one.
^monster's pov^
So the little one just cracked a joke on me and I do have to admit, it was funny a bit, but still. I felt stupid. I narrowed my eyes at her to keep from laughing but she countered that by smiling so sweetly and innocently I couldn't help but smile back after a while.
Her smile turned real and my heart squeezed, and I wanted nothing more than to have her in my arms. Before I knew what I was doing, I was reaching out for a hug. She sisn't even hesitate to return to motion. But something so ackward happened that made me freeze in place, arms outstretched, Bre an exact mirror of myself.
^bre's pov^
I, for somw odd reason, started reaching out for a hug at almost th esame exact time Monster did and here comes Gay man in all his green spandex wonder, messing things up.
"Aww, the youthfulness of love!!" Gai yelled out of nowhere.
Monster and I froze where we stood, arms barely touching, and we turned to stare at the man hollow-like. "What....did you just say...?" we said together in a disbeliving, dead tone.
"You heard me!" he yelled getting animated. "The sweet lover's quarrel, then making up with a tight hug as the fairer sex smiles up at in the face of her strength. It's sooooo.......YOUTHFUL!!!"
"Yes! I agree Gai!" Lee stood posing in some weird gay-looking fashion with the man.
Monster and I blinked then looked at each other, and we were moving around hecticlly, just trying to get out of the house. Apparently the rest of MSA had been frozen, watching the scene as well and all walked out of the house either laughing, shaking their head, or whistling ackwardly. "You uhh ready to go?"
I nodded, buzzing in the kitchen putting up my bowl. "Yep.." I walked over to my dad and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. I walked back over to Monster and he and I both shared one last glance at Gia and we shook out head together.
"And I thought your dad was a dork..." Monster mumbled.
"Tell me about it..." I sai dwalking out of the door and closing it behind me.

I walked into my Stage arts class and was shocked to see a lot more people in the room than usual. "What's going on?" I asked a girl named Angel who I talked with on many different occasions about random things that had to do with the class.
"The teachers combining all the class periods to put on a play. I don't know which one just yet, but knowing that crazy woman, it's going to be something lengthy."
I nodded at her explanation. I've noticed that she was just a person who really didn't like the time it took up for plays, she just wanted to dance in them and be done, and oddly I agreed with her way of thinking.
I scanned the area, looking at all the other Juniors mixed in with Seniors and even some Sophmore and Freshman in the mix. But what I didn't expect to see was Monster sitting not too far away with some blonde chick making googly eyes at him and him looking clearly uninterested and bored and uncomfortable. It made me giggle a bit, but when she fluttered her eyelashes and reached out a hand to touch his exposed biceps flirtaceously, I couldn't help but get a bit heated.
I...mean..not because I like him or anything, but because that girl was clearly invading his personal space and it was obvious that he wanted her to move. I mean look at how he moved his arm from under and scootched away from her a bit. Anybody can see that just by looking.
I sighed and the teacher called for everyone's attention. "Listen up! As you can see, I have combined all of my classes. I've planned out putting on a Shakespeareian Experiance! We are going to perform 5 of Shakespeare's most imfamous plays. Hamelet, Julius Ceasar, Twelfth Night, Othello, and of course Romeo and Juliet. As you can tell, we will need every class's help for the different stage designs, costume designs, directors, and casts of course. In exactly 2 months we will be performing a play each night. So, with tha bieng said." The overly excited teacher clapped her hands and some kid with glasses hopped up and handed her a couple of clip boards. "I'm passing around 5 clipboards for each play. I'm going to need you to sign under the play you're interested in and which part you would like to audition for. I would encourage you to sign under more than one play if your aiming for a lead role. You may not get into that play that you really want, so it's always nice to have a back up. So without any dely, sign! Sign! Sign!"
I sighed. It was official Mrs. Trueman had officially lost it. I waited patiently while the clip boards moved across the giant mass of students. I looked over at Angel. "Are you signing up for a play?"
She shook her head. "No. I'm not good with speaking parts, just dancing and stage design. I'll be helping to put together the costumes and stuff." I nodded. "Are you going to sign up for a play?" she laughed at herself. "Sorry, of course you are, you're the best monolouger in our class."
I shook my head. "No I'm not...it's Matt. We all know that."
She shook her head. "No, I think it's you. I mean he's the best male monolouger but you're the best girl. Everyone agrees with me. We've talked about it a couple of times before."
"You guys...have talked...about my acting?" I asked slowly.
She shook her head again, adding her hand waving away my facial ezpression. "Forget it. Just sign up for the lead role on whatever plays you're signing up for. You'll definitely make it on at least one. I know for sure."
I smiled a bit. "Thanks Angel."
She smiled back. "No problem. Heads up." she nodded towards the clip boards heading for me.
I chewed my lip as I looked at all five and decided to sign up for two plays, of course I picked th eleading role because Angel made me. As I passed on the clip board I looked up to see Monster looking my way. He smiled and nodded. I smiled a little and waved with slightly. He held up his hands as if he was signing something. 'Did you sign up for a play?'
I nodded then pointed at him. 'Yeah. You?'
He shook his head. 'No'
I tilted min to the side. 'Why?'
He shrugged. 'Dunno'
I narrowed my eyes at him and poinred to the clip boards. 'Sign it.'
He shook his head. 'Naw'
I pointed again but more firly this time. 'Sign it'
He shook his head again and mouthed to me 'I'm just a stunt man.'
I blinked. Stunt man, well he'd have to at least be as decent of an actor to perform for only a moment if even just to do a stunt. 'Sign it or I won't speak to you until the plays are over' I mouthed back.
He blinked, looked at me with a bit of humor and slight terror, then reached for the clip boards again just as they were getting turned in to the teacher. I smiled a bit to see him signing the board, two actually. He looked at me like, 'Satisfied?' and I giggled a bit and nodded as he turned in the clip boards.
I didn't notice before, but the blonde that was flirting with him glaring at me. If her eyes could kill....I'd have a paper cut. Haha.
"Oh my, I see Monster's planning on auditoning." some random kid yelled, everyone else in the class laughed a bit but me and Mandy. "Dear, do you know that you are only used for stunt purposes?"
I blinked. I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
"You couldn't possibly make it to the stage to actually have a role of your own." the girl laughed more and I was sick of it, besides to look on Monster's face was making my heart hurt.
"I think he can do it!" I yelled cutting through everyone's laughter. I mean, even the girl who was flirting with him was laughing at him. "As a matter of fact, I know he can land a leading role in at least one of those plays."
The class bell rang and everyone laughed again and left the room. "Yeah right." they all mumbled as they by passed me.
"That was a nice thing you did." Angel told me.
I just smiled and shrugged a bit. "Yeah, thanks for that."
I looked up to see Monster smiling only at the corner of his mouth and looking down at me. "Don't mention it, now come on. Let's go to lunch."

The rest of the day passed by and Monster and I have been getting along pretty wel, we even planned to go to the Dance Studeo early before the crew just to hang out a bit.
"So..." I looked at Monster from my seat on a balance beam in one of the corners of the studeo. I looked over to Monster who was ackwardly making his way over towards me. "Umm thanks again, for sticking up for me, and believing in me."
I shrugged. "It was no biggie."
"For you maybe, for me no." He made his way near me adn sat next to me on the bench. "Eveyone in the drama department just uses me for their stunts. Because I can make anuthing work for a fighting scene, that's how I got my name Monster. But...I wanted nothing more than someone to finally believe in me, I mean really believe in me and know that I could actually land a role, a full one. And you did that for me today." he looked at me and smiled. "It really meant a lot to me."
I blinked for a second at how honest and direct he was bieng but smiled back. "You're welcome. But I don't see how anyone wouldn't believe in you. I've seen you once before, standing in to do a stunt once. To me, you did a pretty decent job."
He smiled more adn that made me smile even more. "You know....I never got my hug from this morning before your dad's friend..."
"Completely humiliated not only us but himself as well?" I finished for him. "Yeah."
He laughed a bit and his fingers twitched slightly, brushing against mine. I felt a sudden jolt of electricty and it made me blush. I looked over at him to see him chewing the inside of his cheek and looking at the floor. I smiled a bit. "Umm." he looked at me and my breath got caught in my throat for a moment. I looked around the studeo for a second and the realization finally hit me. I was alone with Monster....something I had, though I'll never admit it out loud, been waiting for since I first met him. "Don't you want that hug?"
He lauged a bit. "Oh yeah, that's right." He slid off the balance beam and looked at me. "Well I can't hug you the way I want with you sitting down."
I laughed a bit. "Oh. Right." I slid off the beam and he chuckled.
"Dork." he mumbled walking over to me and slowly putting his arms around my body.
I rolled my eyes, trying to hide my blush with my bangs and hugged him back. "Whatever."
^monster's pov^
I chuckled a bit as I pulled her closer in to me. When my hands slid across her exposed back I felt her shiver against me. "Cold?"
She shook her head but I knew she was lying, her skin was ice cold. "Are you anemic or something?"
She was still for a while then she pulled back to look at me. "Maybe..."
I rolled my eyes. "Yeah right. You're skin's ice cold, you're always shivering. Yeah I think you are."
She laughed. "Ok, you caught me." she shrugged. "I got it from...my mom. She was the exact same way."
I nodded. "Ok, so you're a reptile, a little lizard."
She laughed. "Eww now...but I guess you can say that. I do tend to sit in the sun to warm up a bit."
I laughed. "Sounds like your crew name should be Ice-box not M&M."
She blinked. "M&M? I don't remember anyone telling me I had a crew name. I didn't think I was officially in the crew until I performed with you guys somewhere."
I shook my head. "Oh no you're not." She glared at me and I was suddenly afriad that she'd move away from me. "I mean you are one of us, just not officially, like you said. But we have been thinking up a name for you, and they came up with M&M. I wasn't even supposed to tell you."
She rolled her eyes. "Whatever..I don't even know what that means!"
"What thinking?"
She pinched my back a bit and I remembered I was still holding onto her. It made me smile. "No, crazy. M&M."
He blinked. "Oh that, I dunno." I lied and shrugged.
Her eyes narrowed. "Mhmm."
I laughed.
^regular pov^
Monster's laugh made me giggle. When our tickle fits ceased, I looked up at him and realized how close our faces were. I felt myself blushing a bit and another shiver of excitement ran through me. Almost reflexively, his arms around my body tightened and we were even closer.
As Monster looked down at me I felt the sudden urge to shiver again, this time from happiness running hot through my body, but I decided I might not be able to take it if I did. Our faces would get even closer.
As if sensing what I feared, Monster brought me even closer to him. One of his hands slid from around my back to cup my gently. Our faces began to slowly gravitate towards each other. I felt my eyes close slowly as I felt the phantom of the near future close in on me. His lips brushed across mine just barely and I couldn't hold back the shiveres any longer. Instantaneously both of our arms tightened around each other.
"What the hell?"
Monster and I jumped and looked towards the door. Kyle and Bryton were both glaring at Monster acidly while the crew and the other sall had smirks on their faces. "Umm we were just..." we both said together then looked at each other and laughed abit nervously. We realized that we were still hugging and we let each other go, but not moving any further apart.
"Uhh hi guys." I waved, knowing a blush was on my face.
"Mmhmmm." everone chorused and waved at me. They started to fill up the room, moving to go and have a seat, or fool with the stereo, or just goof around.
Monster chuckled and gave me a quick side hug, whispereing. "Maybe next time." and kissed my cheek before walking off.
I stayed there, in total shock, and touched my face where his lips had been. I smiled a bit and walked out to the crew and got ready to get to work.

"Oh man that was crazy!" Chase laughed as we all lounged around the floor, cooling off.
"Yeah, this is really starting to come together. I can actually see it now." Andie said smiling at me.
I laughed and nodded. "Yeah, we still have a long way to go, and we've got to make an actual routine out of it." Everyone nodded and I smirked. "But at least we know Moose can be sexy."
The curly haired boy grinned at me. "What?! Girl you didn't know?" He stood again and walked to the front. "Girl I can pop, shake, drop it low." and as he said each thing he actually did it, making crazy faces at the same time.
Everyone laughed and my phone rang. I reached over my head and held out my hand and Evelyn sat it in the palm of my hand. I looked at the phone and rolled my eyes a bit. "Hey dad...nothing at the school with the crew and peps, what's up?" My eyes floated around the room while he talked to me. "Uh-huh...uh-huh...yeah..but did you...ok....right." I stood and walked towards the door. "I gotta take this." I said to everyone then walked out on the halway. "Do you have any leads of where it might be?" I asked once I was a good distance from the door.
No, but we feel it may be a lot closer than we think. Just keep your eyes out for it. And whenever you get home we'll put the teams together and look to see if anything in unsual or to see if he'd been around here.
I nodded. "Ok, dad. Talk to you later. Bye." I hung up the phone and jumped when I heard another voice.
"Oh there you are." I looked and it was the blonde who was flirting with Monster in class. I blinked and pionted to myself and she nodded. "Yeah you."
I laughed once without humor. "But you don't even know me."
She put on a face that just screamed, 'I'm trying to pretend and be innocent'. "Oh I know, but I hoped to get to know you. My name's Lexi."
I nodded. "Bre."
She shook her head. "Oh I know you. Monster talks about you all the time."
I blinked. "Really?"
She nodded and I couldn't help but smile a bit. The look on her face reminded me that I had to be on my guard with her. She looked like another Mandy. "Yeah well, I wouldn't smile because it's not in a good way."
"What are you talking about?"
She sighed and the 'innocent' look was back on. "Well, I heard him and few of the guys in class talking and.." she pulled out a tape recorder and pressed play.
So you likin' this girl, man?
Umm yeah. She's cool. that was Monster's voice alright but I had no idea of where she was going with this.
So are you gonna ask her out?
What? phss no man. I don't like her that much. I mean, if I do it would probably be just for...you know..a fling. But an actual relationship, na.
I blinked when she stopped the tape and wondered was that really Monster adn did he really say those things about me. I had to try and keep reminding myself, 'Stay on guard'. "How do I know that's real? Let me hear more."
The girl seemed surprised and shook her head, stuttering. "Umm n-no. I couldn't possibly. I mean it'll only hurt you mo-"
I didn't have time for her games, so I snatched the recorder and hit play.
Dude..that's pretty low M.
Yeah, but I'd never do that to a girl ya know. But Lexi...I dunno, she just puts herself out there like that. I wouldn't do that, I have more respect for girls than that, I was just saying that's what I would do.
I stopped the tape and blinked. "Looks like...it's hurting you more than me.." Her face was stunned, as if she'd never even heard that recording for herself, but I knew she had. "My guess is, you asked the boy who was questioning Monster to talk to him about asking you out. He would've forgotten the conversation so you told him to record it. He did, you listened to it and got pissed off so you've been trying to flirt with him to get him to really like you. But when you saw him talking to me today, you figured, 'If I can't have him, no one can', so you tried to get me to stop liking him. Am I correct?" The girl remained quiet and I nodded a bit, giving her the tape recorder back. "See ya around Lexi."
I walked away from her adn back inside the studeo and saw that the girls and guys had all split up in their own circles. "Hey Bre!" Andie called. "It's about time you got back, get over here!"
I smiled and walked over and sat down next to her and Evelyn. "So, what's up?"
"That's what we wanted to ask you." they all said.
I blinked. "About what?"
They sighed and looked over at a laughing Monster then back at me. "We were just hugging." I shrugged trying to play it cool.
"Yeah right. Looks like some pretty decent mouth to mouth action was about to happen." Missy said. "Come on chika, tell us."
I sighed. "Fine.."
^monster's pov^
Me and the guys were just chillin' and talking when Bre walked back in the room and my heart skipped a beat. When I remembered how I almost kissed her, I bit my lip a little and looked down at my hands, smiling.
"Yo, Monster. You ok man?" Debrae` asked. I nodded and smiled. "She does something to you doesn't she?"
I blinked. "What?"
He made a face. "You know. Bre, she does something to you doesn't she?"
I nodded a bit, the memory playing over again. "Yeah.."
He smirked. "Watch this. Hey Bre!" he yelled across the room.
I looked over my shoulder and when she spun around, smiling my heart was trying to pound out of my chest. 'Settle down.' I thought but it didn't listen.
Debrae` winked and blew a kiss at her. She made a disgusted face then caught the kiss, acting like she about to put it on her cheek, then threw it on the ground. She smirked and smashed it with her hands over and over again. She picked it back up and blew it back. Debrae` pouted. "I'll get it one day!"
"You wish!" she yelled turning back around.
Debrae` chuckled then looked at me. "Sorry man."
I laughed. I was about to tell him it was fine when...umm Bryton cut me off. "Do you like her?"
I looked at him and Kyle nodded. "Yeah, I wanted to know that too."
I blinked then raised an eyebrow. "Not that I think it's any of your business, but yeah. I do." Wow...that was the first time I had admitted it out loud.
"Do you really like her?" Kyle asked.
"I'm not following you anymore, man."
"I mean, I saw you about to kiss her." Kyle said.
I shrugged. "Yeah so?" Cable, Hair, Chase and Moose all looked at me like 'What?!' but I was too pissed at those to jerks to laugh at them.
"I was just asking 'cause, I didn't like her at first. I guess you could say I was just using her because the girl I did like didn't like me, her best friend." everyone's face changed dramatically as we listened to this idiot talk. "But when I kissed her..." he laughed. "Well I guess you can say I started liking her lips."
"Dude...that's sick." Cable shook his head.
"Yeah, man. Can you say shady much?" Moose said scrunching up his nose.
"Are you serious?" I asked finally. I couldn't believe my ears. For her to be thought of that way...it made me so angry. My fists were clentched and shaking I was so pissed.
"Yeah, I even told her I loved her and all that crap. I guess she knew I was bluffing." he shrugged and smiled.
Bryton snorted. "Yeah well, I didn't use her. I mean I had it in my mind, but I didn't. She was too sweet for that. So I cheated on her." Our eyes widened.
Really....what is wrong with these boys? How could they....ugh!!!! He might want to stop talking before I knock his teeth out his head.
"I mean, I felt guilty about it, so I broke up with her. I told her it was because I didn't have time for a girl. Yeah I lied in a way but, at least I didn't lie to her. We became best friends after that but I got so wrapped up in my hormones I drifted away from her. I told her I loved her too, but that wasn't a lie." he glared at Kyle.
I wanted nothing more but to punch him in the nose. He has no right to glare at him because he's just as worse! Gosh! I hope someone hits them soon, because if I do...I don't know if I'll be able to stop myself.
^regular pov^
I had told the girls about mostly everything that happened and I even told them about Lexi.
"Are you serious?" Missy shook her head.
"That girl's been hounding after Monster since she got here! And that was a month ago!." Andie said frowning.
"But you have nothing to worry about." Fly said touching my shoulder. "Monster's not like that. He won't do that to you or any girl."
"Yeah." Kido chimed in with her funny accent. "Monster doesn't like you or any girl." Everyone laughed.
"No Kido...Monster does like her." Andie said. "And we have to figure out a way to get you to together." she said looking at Missy.
"Girl, I'm already over here plotting." she said looking at me and smiling.
I laughed but it was cut short when David andTyler suddenly had an outburst.
^monster's pov^
"Hey! That's my sister you're talkin' about!" David yelled galring at them. "Watch it! I'm about to kick your asses!"
"Man!" Tyler yelled, grabbing the attention of all the girls in the room. "How can you brag about something like that? You too are the soul reasons why we're called dogs now! You're the reasons why we can't find good girls today! I mean listen at yourselves! You sound like nothing but frisky little dingos! UGH!!!"
"D...Tyler?" Bre asked walking over. "Are you ok?"
Tyler looked at her and David kept his glare hot on the two boys. "Honestly, no. I'm probably on my way halfway to hell from listening to those two." he pointed to the culprits of ever boys glare in the circle.
"What happened?" she asked and all the other girls slowly made thier way over to the circle to see for themselves.
Tyler snorted. "Ask them."
Bre looked confused and then looked at Kyle and Bryton. "What happened, guys?"
"Nothing. Just guy talk."
Tyler smacked his lips and looked at them like they had really lost their minds. "No, no! You were braggin' earlier! Go on and do it to her face!"
Bre's eyes narrowed and I could swear I saw the pieces of th epuzzle linking themselves through her eyes. Her eyes widened with appreheansion and she nodded. "Yeah, brag to my face."
They were quiet and Debrae` spoke up. "Don't get quiet now. What happened to all that talk about not liking her then liking her lips after you kissed her, huh?"
"Yeah!" Jim jumped in. "Tell her h-how you was talinkin' about cheatin' on her and stuff!" He looked at Bre then at Bryton. "You my dog and everythin' but that ain't cool!"
"And usin' her and stuff!" Tim said frowning.
"Alright...." Bre's voice was soft but powerful and stopped the chatter. "I get it...." Her head was low and she walked in the circe over to Bryton and Kyle and they both stood.
"Listen, Bre. It's not like how it sounds."
"It's exactly like how it sounds." she said raising her head. Before we all knew what was happening, Bre's hand and leg were in motion. In the next moment, Kyle was on the ground groaning and rolling around, his hands over his crotch. Bryton was on the ground as well, holding his face in his hand, hissing in pain. "And the two of you disgust me so deeply....I don't see how I could have ever liked either of you in the first place." she said turning away from them and moving to sit in the far corner of the studeo.
Everyone was silent for a moment, then they all streamed in a fury of talking at the same time. In the mist of all that chaos I heard sniffling. I looked towards the corner and saw Bre wiping at her face. I stood and walked over to her and put my hand on her shoulder. "Hey...you ok?" She didn't answer so I just sat and put my arms around her. She turned around instantly and burried her face in my chest.
I was happy to see that her shoulders were not shaking and my shirt wasn't getting wet so I took that as a sign she wasn't crying. But for some odd reason, I still felt her pain. Like it was pulsating off of her body onto mine, calling out for someone to help her through it all. So I made a silent oath to myself, that I'll be here for her no matter what. And nothing was going to make me break that oath.

"Hey, hey! How was the practice with the crew?" my dad asked a little too animatedly for my slightly sour mood as I walked through the door.
"Ok I guess." I walked in, holding the door open. "They're here actually." I said as they walked in and spoke to my dad. "We're going to out to the dragon tonight, I just came to see if you had anything you wanted me to do before?"
He shook his head. "N-well. Could you take these three with you?" he pointed to Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke. "I've got so business to take care of down at the office and I don't really want them to be here by themselves."
"Jeez Kakashi, you make it sound like were 6 not 16." Sakura said rolling her eyes.
I giggled a bit at my dad's face as he looked at her. "With the way you and Naruto act together, you guys practically are 6."
"What's that supposed to mean?!" they both yelled together. Sasuke sighed.
I just laughed more. "Forget about it and come on."

While everyone got aquanted with the three teens, Monster and I walked together in the middle of it all. "So I see you're doing better."
I looked at him and nodded. "Yeah..it doesn't take too long for me to bouce back. And it was just all the more easier when they left for practice." I remembered Evelyn going on with the girls to watch their practice. She had told me it was because she knew I would have another late night tonight and I didn't really mind that, it was just the fact that she was sooo quiet now. I mean it's not like I was holding what she told me over her head. I was acting as if nothing happened, like I thought she wanted me to do.
I frowned. I let go of the memory because it was making me upset again.
"You ready to be deemed one of us, once and for all?" he asked smiling and putting an arm around my shoulder.
I smiled and nodded. "You know it."

"Hey Monster! I see you're back with little miss tufflett." Mezzy said as I walked in under Monster's arm.
He laughed and gave the man behind the counter dap and I did as well. "I can't seem to get rid of her." he smirked down at me and I smiled a bit.
"That so?" Mezzy raised his eyebrows.
I nodded. "Yeah, I think it's the dancing because it's deffinitely not his "good looks" or "charm"."
Mezzy laughed a bit and Monster glared at me. "Looks like you got your work cut out for you."
"Tell me about it, man."
"Ay, Monster! Who's that under your arm?! Your little sister? Isn't it past her bedtime?" the DJ yelled in the mike, cutting the music and everyone laughed.
I frowed and Monster dropped his arm to go around my waist and pulled me in his side. "Nope! She's the crew's newwest addition!"
"Addition?" the DJ said like he was confused. "Please! She ain't no addition until I say she is!"
I looked up at the DJ and smriked. "Well then, drop the beat and let me show you what I'm workin' with. Unless you not ready for it."
"Uh..this girl tryin' to start sumin'! Everybody clear the dance floor. I wanna get a good look at her when she fall on her face!"
I laughed. "Yeah right! I'ma have you fallin' on your ass in a minute!"
Monster chuckled adn the crowd all 'Oo'ed. "Alright, alright! I hope you got the moves to back up that big talk mini me!"
Monster and I moved to the center of the floor and spaced away from wach other. "You ready to battle?" he asked.
I smirked and held out may arms. "Nothing but space and opportunity."
The record scratched and 'Say Aah' by Trey Songz played through the speakers. I grinned widely and bobbed my head to the beat.
"Ladies first!" I yelled to Monster.
He laughed. "I always knew you were a boy!"
I laughed and he was in the center doing his thing. I watched intently the way he seemed to have taken the feel of the beat, letting the bass flow through his body, putting the music into motion. As I looked at Monster, I thought that if this song had a body, it would move around just like that. He did a lot of foot work and crumped his way towards me then turned and shook his butt on me. I laughed a bit and backed away from him. He moved back to the center and ticked his hips then rocked them around in a circle until he was looking at me. He winked and smirked them motioned for me to come on the floor.
I laughed a bit and mimicked his crumping motion to the center of the floor. I did some footwork then ticked my way to the floor and did a few breaking moves, freezing in a sideways handstand, grabbing for my pretend crotch and stuck my tongue out at him. He laughed a bit and I droped out of that in a backbend and did a bit more footwork before I popped myself back up to a handstand adn spun around the circle on my hands, spinning out of it on my feet when I landed in front of Monster and smiled at him, crumping more and pulled at my baggy cargos.
When the DJ scratched the record Monster and I both twisted our bodies like we were bieng scratched back into our right way of dancing and I backed out of the way letting Monster have the floor. He started it off with a front tuck and went into more crumping then some footwork and dropped to the floor on his hands and knees. His legs twisted over each other as he rolled across the floor then up in a handstand. He mocked what I had done in his own way and I smiled. When he was finished ne bowed and backed away.
I slid out on the floor with footwork. I started to two-step and heel-toe then I spun around and got ready to show Monster how it's supposed to be done. I grabbed the bbridge of my hat as I twirked my hips from side to side then popped. As the song ended I ticked to the floor then back up and looked at Monster and smiled.
The crowd went crazy and I looked back at the DJ and he was quiet for a minute. "Yo..little mamma...GOT SOME MOVES! What's her name?"
Monster smiled and walked over, putting his arm around my shoulder. The motion was so easy and it felt so right. I put mine around his waist and he grinned at me. "M&M!"
"M&M? What? She like the candy or somethin'?"
Monster shook his head. "No, man! Mini Monster." I looked up at him in a bit of disbelief. I know Cable had said it before but I didn't think they were serious. He winked at me and I smiled. "Doesn't she remind you of me?"
The DJ laughed and the crowd cheered and I smiled. "Alright. I like that, I like that."
"So how about it?" Chase said from by the bar, the crew and the tree teens there with him. "She good?
The DJ was quiet again and he nodded. "Hell yeah!" Monster and I laughed and made our way back to the bar.
"Wow, I didn't take you as the dancing type." Sakura said.
I shrugged. "Not many people do."
Naruto smiled. "That was great! And even thought Sauke won't say it, he thinks so too." He was blushing. Cute.
I looked at Sasuke who just looked back and nodded, smiling slightly.
I smiled and laughed when Missy and Andie came and hugged me. "That was amazing!" Andie said.
"Yeah, looks like Moose has some competition." Cable said.
Moose shook his head. "Pshhh please. Bre, you my girl and all, but there's none hotter than Moosie-baby!" he said ticking his hips.
I laughed. "I was talking about Monster, dude." Cable said.
We all laughed and looked at Monster. "Whatever. You all know Monster get it poppin'" he said popping his butt on me again. I just laughed.
"I ain't know that but I guess I do now." Mezzy said dishing out two water bottles. Monster and I took them and I chugged mine on one go. "Dang, water buffalo?"
I laughed. "Hey Bre, come on, let's go dance." Missy said pulling me from under Monster.
^monster's pov^
I sat at the bar, taking a break looking at the girls dancing and goofing around with each other. "Earth to Monster." Mezzy said waving his towl in my face.
"Huh?" I asked looking at him. He chuckled. "You act like you've never seen girls dancin' before man."
I laughed. "Yeah well, that girl's amazin' man."
"Who mini-you?" he asked jerking his head towards the girl who was laughing. My heart stopped for a second.
"Yeah, man. I've never met anyone like her before." I looked over my shoulder at her then back at Mezzy. "She's the real deal."
"So, you guys datin'?"
I bit my lip. "Not...really..."
Mezzy looked at me. "What you mean not really?" he glanced over me at Bre. I looked myself and saw her dancing with Cable. "The way I see it, you gotta get her and get her now. 'Cause how things lookin'" he pointed to them again. "she's a hot topic, and everybody wants to be in the headlines. You just betta make sho your name up there next to hers." He looked at her again and so did I. This time she looked my way adn made a face then motioned me over. "Besides, it looks like she's diggin' ya."
I looked at him. "Think so?" he nodded and I smiled. "Iight man. Catch ya later." I slid off the seat and walked over to where everyone was and joined the fun.

"Was that your boyfriend?" Sakura asked when we walked in the house.
I looked at her and shook my head. "No, we're just friends." I laughed.
"Oh good your home. I need you to get changed so we can head out." my dad said as he walked down the stairs dressed in his usual ninja attire.
I nodded and was getting ready to head upstairs when the doorbell rang. I blinked and opened it then smiled. "Hey Monster...again."
He laughed a bit nervously. "Uh yeah, sorry I forgot something." I looked at him like 'yeah right' and he sighed. "Ok, so I didn't forget anything..I just wanted to wait until we were alone."
I blinked. "Alone...for what?"
He smiled and walked up to me, hugging me tightly. I laughed. "You wanted alone just to give me a hug?"
He pulled back and shook his head. He moved both of his hands to hold my face gently. I noticed he was getting ready to kiss me again and I wasn't going to move away. I actually readied myself for it, but it never fails.
"Yo Monster! What are you doing?! We gotta go! You know Moose got a cerfew!" Cable yelled. "Ow Chase, Andie! Ow Missy!"
"Shut your face!" Andie groaned.
I giggled and Monster chuckled and shrugged. "Oh well." he kissed my cheek quickly before running off. "See you tomorrow!"
I closed the door, smiling to myself then blinked. I forgot that I had an audience. I turned around slowly to see my dad smirking with the other adults and I sighed. "I don't want to hear it!" I pointed at my dad. "The bet's not completed yet!" I marched past him to go and change.
XXXXXX
I walked through the woods with my iPod plugged in my ears. I was slightly annoyed but by looking at me you would probably think I was the happiest girl on earth. I danced around while the others lurked in the shadows behind me. I sighed mentally. Why was I always the bait?
I sauntered my way deeper and deeper in the trees when I heard footsteps over the blaring music. They're here. Get ready. My dad's voice cracked through the mike in one of my headphones. I nodded my head to beat to let him know ok and suddenly hands were on me.
I kept up to the act and tried to struggle away from them but they weren't letting go anytime soon. "Where do you think you're goin'?" a husky voice asked in my ear.
I rolled my eyes. "Nowhere."
The men froze as I smirked and ducked from out of their arms. Shikamaru walked out of the shadows with his hands before his face and smiling. "Got ya." he said as he put his hands on the top of his head with his wrists flicked. The three mean befor eme ended up doing the same thing just slower becase of their resistance.
I laughed a little and walked over to them and poked one in the stomach. Shikamaru jumped. "I felt that."
I looked at him then back at the men. "I was afraid of that...release the technique."
"But they'll-"
I smiled at him. "Just do it."
He nodded and released the men and I was in the air, I landed a kick on one of the mens' head, knocking him out. I spun out in a split and knocked th eother two out. I smiled at Shikamaru and he shook his head.
"Well I guess." he said as Ino and Choji jumped out of the trees with Asuma.
"You're not half bad for a girl/boy thing." Ino said. She studied me. "And with your stomach out I can tell you're actually a girl now...or just a guy with a girly stomach."
I looked at her and thought about punching her through a few trees but I decided not to and just opened my mouth slightly, my canine teeth growling longer and sharper. "Don't make me use these any more than I would like to..."
She shuddered and I turned away from her. Blondes get on my nerves.

"Did they tell you anything?"
I looked at the grey hairred man as I wiped my mouth off. "Does it look like it?"
He looked around and shook his head. "No, no it doesn't." he sighed.
"OH! We did find out one thing." I said lounging against the tree behind me while biting on my thumb. "It's offiicial...that creep of a man wants me..oh and I apparently have the gem right in my hands. Too bad I don't know what it is!"
My dad looked at me and sighed. "I know this is aggrivating you and you have got to be scared."
"Ha! Try petrified!"
My dad looked at me and walked over hugging me into him and rubbing my arm soothingly. "It'll be fine...you'll be just fine. We're all here to help you."
I nodded and hugged him back as we walked side by side back home. I swear if all these problems keep building up, I'm gonna have a system overload soon.
