^_^ Mamoru's PoV ^_^

It has been not even a month since the death of a White Rabbit, and as the Jagged Rose leader he had declared a temporary to call off any action against them so as they could have some time to mourn the loss of a member. Okay, so he didn't want any of his members to die, which surely would happen since the White Rabbits lost one of theirs. A member for a member, that's how it usually worked. Especially with groups that have been at war, or close to it, for many years. It was a constant struggle to see who would get control over everything in the city.
'I never suspected that I'd get this far when I was brought in. Geez, if it wasn't for Marc dying in my arms because of the Rabbits we wouldn't have needed a new leader. Is It MY fault that everyone seemed to vote for me?' he asked himself a million times but the answer always came back the same. 'how should I know, I am you so I know what you know.' It was rather depressing that such a ting would happen actually. 'It just goes to show you that there is no one better then me. And that is the part that worries me the most.' he continued to think, showing that egotistical side that was always there.
As I walked along the side walk, careful to be in civilian clothing; wouldn't do to get myself killed by being obvious to who I am...but there I am walking along, minding my own business, and a test paper comes flying my way. 'WACK!' is clearly heard as it hits me on the head. As i snach the paper from htting the ground, when i open it I can't help but laugh, then i notice the owner of the paper.
She seems really drop dead gorgous! long blond hair that flows from two balls atop her head, they remind me of odango's (sp?). Thebluest eyes that you could get lose in, the kind that make you think there should be fluffy white clouds in for they remind you of the noonday sky when all is clear and beautiful! So what do I do...insult her.
Next think I know she steals the paper from my hands and is walking off, thats when I notice that her bandana held a white rabbit with blue outline. The insegna of the leader of the White Rabbits. I hand my head and know that I've done it know, and I hope beyond all else that she doesn't recongize me for who I am.
So what do you do when you think the enemy is cute? Go to the Arcade to beat up animated enimies, and eat CHOCOLATE of course! So on I go, entering the Arcade, I find my best friend and co-leader Motoki. Then again no one really knows that Motoki is a gang member I mean he is a very kind soul and everything, he has all the girls fawning over him even if they don't know that he is a member of the Jagged Roses. he is the manager of the Arcade, which happens to also be a safe haven for both gang members, even if there is still tention in the air.
So what do I tell Motoki you ask about my incounter with the blond haired beauty that is my mortal enemy you ask... "Motoki, what would happen if 2 gang members of opposite gangs fell for one another?" . Thats really what I asked, no foolin'.
"It's never happened, but I think there would be a war, after all their families (meaning gangs of course) wouldn't appreciate it seeing as they would be trying to figure out what gang to belong to. You can't date someone you may have to kill." he states in a low quiet voice that is to make sure that no one knew just how deep he himself was in. Then he gave me a weird look. "Why? After a hottie from another family?" he asks me in a serious yet quiet voice, as if he is pleading for information.
I look at him in silence for a minute then gave a small smile. "It was a thought till the new info, can't have more deaths if i can help it." I say back to him, in a matching tone to make sure no one hears me. I can't believe that I was actually thinking of asking THE Rabbit on a date.
Motoki, ever the curious guy leans over and give me a knowing smile. "Which gang she from?" He asks me, looking around as if he was exspecting for her to wave her arms or something. She wasn't here right then to my knowledge, I had seen her walk in the opposite direction.
"Rabbits" I say in a very VERY quiet tone. Just as i got out the 'Ra'part of it Motoki ad got his eyes to go wider. As if it wasn't ovious; then again there were only 2 other gangs in the area. The Wolven Hounds, and The Curious Kittens. You think that they would have gotten more ORIGONAL names then those, but it was always decided a way long time ago. No one had control over it, and you couldn't change the name, it would be distrespectful to those who died under that name.
Motoki shock his head and sighed. "Say away from those hopping animals, they may seem cute but BOY! do they have a set of teeth!" Motoki tells me, I only nod and leave some money for Motoki on the counter turn and leave. 'Now I have to keep a cold exterior and continue to insult her. But hey, least I strted giving that to her at the very first, least she won't get curious at the sudden change. All I have to do is stay as far enough away from her for as long as possible.' I say to myself. Little did I know how difficult that would be.


^_^ Usagi's PoV ^_^

There I am fussing over such a low mark on a test that I got, i crumple it up knowing that I have enough to deal with. The death of a friend is always hard, and my members complaining that we should be out for blood. That we should take our revenge, maybe get rid of their current leader. I toss the baka test paper over my sholder in annoyance, I may have street smarts but I suck at school smarts. or is it just that I don't study enough?
Anyway I hear the paper hit someone behind me, I cringe and turn around, hoping that I wouldn't have to deal with anyone today. There, standing before me is a tall, black raven haired, midnight blue eyed dream. As I kind of blink at him in all his splender, he starts to insult ME! The NERVE!
I keep my emotions in check and stop myself from punching his damned lights out.. 'it would teach him right!' my mind keeps telling me all the time, but I can't get in a fist fight, not right now, so I grab the paper that is mine from hgis hand, turn tail and hope that I never bump into the guy again.
Okay, so I was hoping that I bump into him, just so I could see him. At this my mind starts to wonder. 'What if I simply kidnap him, gag him and start to do what ever I wish with him....hmmmm...now theres a thought.' my mind says.
My mind automatically turns it down. 'What if he has some kinda power!? You wanna subject your family and friends to that! You prepared to get hurt!?' my mind screams at me. 'No matter how much I wish that I was a normal girl who could settle in and have a boyfriend I can't. They could easily get hurt and that could push me over the edge. I have to be cold and heartless.'
'Cold and Heartless?' my mind asks me again disterbing my thoughts, I sigh. I can never be cold and heartless; I care too much for others. I even care about the other gangs that get hurt, thats why I try desperately not to seek revenge no matter how much a part of me wants it.
'I have to stay away from that guy, he could damage everything I worked for. He could be trouble.' Thats my last thought on that as I enter my home, where my family...my BIOLOGICAL family lives. I yank the bandana from my head, even though my parents are rather in the dark about the symbols of the street. they just think I like rabbits cuse of the ranslation of my name to english. if you ask me it's kind of ironic that i got inducted to a gang that bares part of my name in it's name.
Even though I thought that would be my last thought that night to deal with gangs and personal issues, one thought rings clear. 'I must stay away from that Blair haired, midnight blue eyed hottie, even if it kills me.'
Famous last words indeed.

(A.N: Kill me later for changing Usagi's outfit around, I had to fit the bandana into the meeting with mamoru. Sorry.)
