To Shauna's surprise, the group who she was warned to stay away from wasn't all that bad. In fact, she found herself enjoying their company. After feeling so alone these past few days, she enjoyed whatever company she could get; that's excluding Bex, as she figured that she would be spending time with Hige and that would of made her feel awkward. She just decided to text her later, but for right now, she was sitting in a living room with the group she had gotten to know just a little bit better.

Rex, the one with the weird name in her opinion, was the 'leader' of this little group. As stated before, he was a tall, muscular man with slicked black hair and bright blue eyes. He wore the attire typical of a teenage thug, yet was much nicer than he actually looked. He was the one who had told Shauna that Tsume was, in fact, dangerous, yet Tsume had said the same about him. She was confused as to who she should trust...

Jasmine was the only girl in their group, the one who wanted to attack Shauna. Still not happy with her, she had calmed down considerably, and was much like Shauna in personality if not just a tad crazier. Her hair was long and jet black, her eyes were a strange purple and her attire consisted of a long, loose black top with a white cross on it, and black shorts with knee length black, white laced high heeled boots. She had piercings all along her ear and one on the corner of her lip. She was defiantly crazy, Shauna figured, much like herself, only this girl didn't listen to reason and once she was made mad it was difficult to stop her destroying something.

The other three men weren't as dramatic in looks. They were all brothers, two were twins and then there was the youngest brother. The twins were identical in looks, the only difference being that one had a nose ring and the other had a lip piercing. Shauna didn't really bother to learn their names, purely because she didn't feel as if she'd talk to them much. It was Rex and Jasmine that concerned her, being that the two of them stood out so much more, while the other three kind of faded into the background.

Shauna never felt so out of place. She was in typical clothing for her area; a white t-shirt, a dark grey hoodie and blue grey trousers. She stood out like a sore thumb with these people; hell, even Tsume fit in more with these guys, and that was saying something! She shifted in her seat and sighed, a headache coming on. 'Why do I always think of Tsume, goddammit...'

Rex turned to look at her, eyebrow raised, "You alright?" He asked, tilting his head.

She waved a hand, "Yes, fine." She dismissed him, not wanting to talk about it.

Jasmine snorted, grumbling, "Well then quit sighing so much, jeez..." She rolled her eyes, taking a drink of her canned soft drink.

The blonde made a face at her, "... Maybe I should go, I think being here is a mistake-"

"What, no, you can't just leave." Rex frowned, "Come on, don't be like that. A little bit longer, what harm could it do?" He smirked, eyebrow raised.

Shauna frowned at him, "... You creep me out more and more, you know..." She stated bluntly, causing him to laugh nervously.

"I suppose it does sound concerning, I'm sorry. It's just, I noticed how lonely you looked. Being alone is a horrible feeling..." He crossed his arms.

She blinked at that and looked away, "Well... yeah but..."

"See? So c'mon, stay for a bit longer."

Sighing, she gave up, "Alright, fine, jeez..." She sat back down and yawned. She didn't notice the smug smirk on Rex's face as he sat down as well, taking a drink. Shauna frowned slightly in annoyance that she had to stay, but closed her eyes and just willed the time to go faster...

"You didn't have to walk me home you know, I'm perfectly capable of it.." Shauna mumbled, slightly creeped out that she was still beside this guy. Sure, he didn't seem as dangerous as she was told he was, but that doesn't mean she can trust him. In fact, he gives off a creepy vibe that makes her instincts scream run.

Rex shrugged slightly, "I wanted to, figured you could do with the company..." He chuckled, amused.

She sighed, walking up to her door, "Right... well, I'm here now. You can leave... thanks for today, I guess it was alright." She smirked.

He perked an eyebrow, "Well you don't sound so sure..." He smirked back, "I guess it'll do though... I'll see you around, Shauna." He turned and walked off.

Shauna hummed and shut her door, sighing, she felt lazy as it is. She didn't even want to go up the stairs; as soon as she made it to the couch, she lay down and put her head on a pillow. Sighing, she grabbed the remote and turned the TV to a random channel, deciding to watch that in her boredom.

Thankfully, it was a funny programme.

Rex smirked as he walked away from Shauna's house, grunting when he was suddenly pulled and slammed against a wall, a snarling Tsume in front of him.

"What the fuck do you think you're playing at?" He hissed angrily, golden eyes glowing in the darkness.

Rex smirked slightly, "Oh? Are you angry, dear Tsume? Have I offended you?"

Tsume gripped him tighter in anger, nails digging into his shoulders and drawing blood, "Don't mess with me," He growled out, "First, you take away my position in the pack. Now you try to take her away and I'm not having it." He snarled.

The black haired man smirked in amusement, "I'm sorry, I don't recall 'taking her away' from you. You did a pretty good job pushing her away on your own..." His grin widened, revealing his sharp teeth, "My my, I never expected you to act like this for a mere girl. Not only that, but a human girl..." He chuckled.

Tsume tensed and gritted his teeth, his snarl getting louder and more viscous, "Shut up..."

"You do realize that, even if you do get with her, it'll be impossible? First of all, you're an outlaw... Second, you aren't human. Do you really expect the both of you to work out?" He snorted, pushing him off when he felt him loosen his grip, "Grow up, Tsume." He smirked and walked off, hands shoved into his pockets.

Tsume twitched and gritted his teeth, fists clenched angrily. He stood there for a while, before he punched the wall in front of him and caused a dent, his knuckles being scraped and beginning to bleed. He drew back slowly and took a breath to calm himself, even though his blood was still boiling from rage.

He glanced at the half moon with a slight glare, the wound on his knuckles already beginning to heal. He felt angry, confused, and conflicted. What annoyed him more was that he knew what Rex said was true...

He sighed loudly and kicked the ground. What a pain in the ass... He frowned and glanced towards Shauna's house, closing his eyes. 'This could go horribly wrong...'

Shauna nearly jumped out of her skin when she heard the door bell ring, her head snapping up and waking her out of her drowsy stage. She groaned and stood up reluctantly, wondering who the hell would appear at this hour. She trudged towards the door and opened it, her eyes widening.

"T-Tsume? Why are you here...?" Her confusion turned to slight anger, still upset over what had happened.

Tsume's hands were stuffed into his pockets, "... Is it really that surprising to see me?"

"Considering you ran off like a little bitch, yeah, I am fairly surprised."

He scowled at that, even though part of him knew she was right. He sighed heavily, "Listen... I'm sorry, for 'running off', and for ignoring you..." He grumbled.

She looked away, "I don't really know if sorry is enough. Is that how you treat a girl? You kiss her and then just leave? I refuse to be played." She snapped.

He grumbled, "Shut up, I'm not like that."

"Could of fooled me..."

"Will you just shut it and listen? I know I acted in the wrong, what else do you expect me to do about it?" He snapped back, anger rising.

She growled and glared at him, "I don't know, it's not my place to figure it out is it?" She crossed her arms.

Tsume narrowed his eyes at her, "Tch... Well I have nothing." He retorted, "You'll just have to deal with that."

Shauna frowned, "Hmph, not how I expected that to turn out..." She sighed, feeling her resolve crumbling, "You're an idiot..."

"Thanks." He grumbled sarcastically, rolling his eyes.

She smiled a little bit, finally feeling a little bit more comfortable. She sighed slightly, "How about... we just... forget the kiss ever happened? I don't want things to just be awkward between us... you're a good source of income." She joked, hoping to lighten the mood.

Tsume rose an eyebrow, before he too seemed to relax, "Sure..."

Of course, the two of them knew it already, even though they tried to convince themselves otherwise. Things will never be the same between them, not like how it was.

Because neither of them wanted to forget that kiss.
