Chapter Four ~ A New School!

Akira awoke to the faint smell of eggs and bacon. She rolled over and looked at the clock, to find that it was 9:30. She groaned and slowly got up. She picked up a pair of jeans and a tight sleeveless turtleneck and made her way towards the shower. About five minutes later she stepped out of the bathroom, brushing her hair. Noticing that the smell of the food had disappeared, she quickly made her way down stairs and into the kitchen, to find Cye cleaning up the dishes.

"Good morning, Akira. I saved you some breakfast." He said, with a small, as he handed her a plate full of food.

Akira returned the small. "Thanks, Cye." She said, as she made her way into the dinning room. When she walked into she saw Mia sitting at the table, with a bunch of papers. "Morning Mia." She said, as she took the seat a crossed from her.

"Oh, good morning Akira." She said, with a smile.

"What ya doing?" Akira asked, through a couple bits of eggs.

"Oh, bunch of different things, school papers, research stuff I got off of the computer on you." Mia answered. "Oh, witch reminds me. What do you think about going to school with the guys?" She asked.

"Ah....." Akira said. "What do you mean?"

"Well, being sense school starts here soon, and being sense its probably going to be a little while before your parents find out where you are. Don't you think you should go to school while your here?" She asked.

"Yeah, I guess." Akira answered.

"You'd be going to the same school as the guys and from what this letter says, the school is going to move you up a grade. Being sense the schools here are a little ways behind the schools in America. So, that would put you in the same grand as the guys." Mia said, handing her the letter she was talking about.

Akira looked at the letter. "Cool." She said, handing the letter back to Mia.

"So, is that a yes?" Mia asked.

Akira nodded. "Yep."

"Good. I'll have to go to the school later today, and tell the school. Would you like to come?" She asked.

"Sure. When you leaving?" Akira answered.

"In about ten minutes. I think Sage and Rowen are coming too." Mia said, with a smile, as put all her papers back into their right piles.

Akira smiled back, then got up and took her empty plate into the kitchen. Where Cye was still working on the dishes. "Done?" He asked.

"Yep, it was very good." Akira answered. Then she walked out of the kitchen and made her way into the living room. To fine, Rowen laying on one of the sofas lost in his book. Ryo and Kento still going at the game. Sage was watching the two beat the crap out of each other virtually, a look of boredom on his face. Akira giggled to herself and went over and sat down next to him. "You look bored." She whispered, in his ear.

"No joke. You think they'd fine a new game to play." Sage whispered back.

Akira shrugged and positioned her leg in an Indian stile on the couch and watched the game. They sat on the couch watching the game for about five minutes. Then Mia walked into the living room and giggled when she saw Akira and Sage's looks of boredom. "Not, that exciting is it guys?" She asked, still giggling.

"NO, not really. I don't know how those two can sit there and stand to play that game for more then five minutes at a time." Akira said, shrugging again. Then she got up and walked over to where Mia was standing.

"You ready?" Mia asked, still giggling.

"Yep." Akira answered, with a smile.

"Rowen, Sage you two still coming?" Mia asked.

"Yeah, I'm coming." Sage said, getting up off the couch and walking over to them. "Anything beside watching them play that game."

"Rowen?" Akira asked.

"Yeah, I'm coming." He answered. Ungluing himself from his book and laying it down on the coffee table in the middle of the large living room.

"K, I'll meat you guys out in the jeep. I'm going to go tell Cye where we are going. Being sense it probably wouldn't be any use trying to tell those two." She said, walking back towards the kitchen.

Akira looked over at Ryo and Kento, and shook her head. She couldn't help be giggle. Then she followed Rowen and Sage out to the jeep. Akira climbed into the back. Followed by Sage. Rowen sat in the front, on the passenger's side. And a couple seconds after they had gotten in, Mia walked out of the house and gotten in to the driver's side of the jeep. "I told Cye I didn't know what time we'd be back. I'm hoping we can get your guys supply lists at the school and we can just go get your guys stuff while we are out. The others will just have to go tomorrow sometime. Besides we could show Akira the city that way." She smiled, as she backed down the driveway.

"Cool." Akira said, with a smile.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

About ten minutes after they left. They arrived at the school. The school was a pretty good size, be sense it was a high school. All four jumped out of the jeep and made their way in. "Way don't you guys show Akira around and I'll go pick up your guys schedules." Mia said, once they got in.

"Ok." Rowen agreed.

Akira, Rowen, and Sage walked around the school for a little while. Pointing out different classrooms as they went by. "And this is the gym." Rowen said, opening the door to a very large gym.

"Wow. This thing is huge. A lot bigger then my old gymnasium." Akira said, as they walked in.

"Yeah, it's pretty big." Sage agreed.

Akira spotted a basketball lying close to the door. She bent down and picked in up.

"You play?" Rowen asked.

"I use to. But, then my mom found out and she got pissed." Akira said.

"Same reasons she wouldn't let you take martial arts classes?" Sage asked.

"Basically." Akira answered, as she made her way over to the three-throw line. She bounced the ball a couple of times, then throw the ball. The ball went into the basket. "Nothin' but net." She said, with a smart-ass smile.

"The girls got some skills." Came a voice from the other side of the gym. Rowen and Sage groaned when the saw who it was. Akira noticed their faces and turned around to see who it was. It was a tall boy, bout the same age as the guys. He had black hair, and green eyes. He was wearing a pair of baggy jeans, a black T-shirt, and a black baseball cap, that was backwards. *Lets see how much shit I can beat out of this kid.* Akira thought, with an evil smile. "And you are?" She asked, putting one hand on her hip.

"My names, Taylor. And you are?" He said. Akira could hear more groans from the guys.

"My names Akira." She answered.

"Well, Akira. Why don't you come and hung out with a really man. Instead of some loser, who think they are men." He said, taking a step forwards and grabbing Akira's arm.

"Umm, I think not." She said, shaking his hand off her arm.

"Come on, baby. It'll be fun. What do ya say." He said.

"No, now buzz off." Akira said, calmly.

"Come on, baby." He said, grabbing her arm again.

Akira rolled her eyes and took a hold of his arm and twisted it behind his, then applied a little bit of pressure. Taylor yelled in pain and fell to his knees. "One, question. Are you listening?" She asked.

"Bitch, let me go." He said, between his teeth.

Akira rolled her eyes again, then applied a little bit more pressure. Taylor yelled even longer. "Are you listening?" She asked again. Then she put more pressure onto his arm, when he didn't answer.

"Ah, Taylor, I think your better answer her. Cause if you don't, she's going to brake your arm." Rowen said, trying as hard as he could not to burst out laughing. Then he looked over to Sage, who's face was trying red, because he was also trying as hard as he could not to laugh.

"What?" He said.

"Are you listening?" Akira asked again.

"Yes, what the hell do you wont?"

"Oh, come on, be nice." She said, twisting his arm a little harder. "Now, listen very carefully, because I'm only going to say this once. One, you need to learn to have some manners around girls. Because, I don't know about your other girlfriends. If you even has any. But, most girls don't like when guys, like you come on to them, like you just did. Two, when I manage to get all of my anger out. And you just better hope that, that comes quick, or your going to be in a lot more pain then you are in right now. I wont you to quietly walk out the way you came in. Got it?" She said, calmly.

"And if I don't?" He asked.

"Like I said, your going to be in a lot more pain then you are already in." Akira answered, gently leaning forwards, causing his arm to move up.

Taylor screamed in pain. "Alright you win. Just let me go. Please!!!"

"K." Akira said, as she loosened her grip and let his arm slid out of her hand. Taylor turned to face her. Akira smiled evilly. Then Sage and Rowen walked up next to her.

"Tell all your friends, that she's not one to be messed with. Because she'll ether be beating your ass, or one of us will." Sage said, gently putting his hand around Akira's waist.

"Akira, Sage, Rowen, their you guys are. You ready to go?" Mia asked, as she popped her head into the gym.

"Yep." Akira said. "Later, Taylor." She said, taking a hold of Sage's hand.

Taylor saw her grab Sage's hand, and glared at him in jealousy.

Once the four had gotten to the jeep, Akira, Sage, and Rowen all brushed out in laughter. "Man did you see the look on his face." Rowen, between gasps of breaths.

"What's so funny?" Mia asked, as they got into the jeep.

"Well, Taylor showed up and well....." Sage couldn't finish, because he was laughing so hard.

"And he pissed me off, so I tout him a little lesson, about how not to piss me off." Akira said, as she tried to calm herself down.

"Oh, Taylor. I remember him. He was the one who was always jealous of Sage and you boys. Right?" Mia said, as she pulled out of the school parking lot.

"Yep, that would be him." Sage answered.

"And you should have seen the look on his face when saw these two where holding hands." Rowen said, as he pointed to Sage and Akira.

" I know that was funny." Sage said.

"No joke." Akira agreed. "Anywho, so where we going now?" Akira asked.

"Well, I got your guys supple list, and schedules." Mia answered. "So, you three in the mood for shopping?" Mia asked, with a smile.

"Cool." Akira said, happily.

Sage and Rowen rolled there eyes, knows that if Akira was anything like Mia when she went shopping, that they where going to be out all night.

"Where to?" Sage asked, knowing to wasn't going to be any good to try and argue with two girls about shopping.

"Well, I was thinking the mall." Mia answered.

"The Mall!" Akira eyes lit up. "Sweet." She said, with a smile.

"Why do I have a felling we are going to be broke by the end of the night?" Rowen said.

"I don't Rowen. But, I think your right." Sage agreed, looking over at Akira. Who just gave him a smart-ass smile.

About ten minutes later the arrived at the mall. They all got out of the jeep and made their way inside. "Wow, this place is huge." Akira said, as they started walking.

Mia smiled. "Listen, lets get the school stuff first, then we can get look around. K?"

"Sure." Akira agreed happily.

"Well, we'll let you boys lead the way. For this apart of the shopping anyway." Mia said, as they started walking.

"K, well. We didn't have to go far. Because we are here." Rowen said, as they walked into a store. It was full of school stuff.

"Damn, this place is huge." Akira said.

"Well, dear this store is one of the smallest stores in this mall." Mia said, giggling at Akira's face.

"You're joking? Right?" Akira asked, with a smile.

"Nope." Mia answered, still giggling.

"Cool." Akira smiled.

Rowen and Sage smiled and shook their heads and followed the two girls.

"Ok, boys I got each of you a list. Being sense yours was a little different then Akira's. So here, you can get whatever." Mia said, handing him each a list. "I'll help Akira."

"Ok." Rowen said, as he and Sage disappeared into the next aisle.

"Alright, lets see what you need...." Mia said, looking over Akira's list. "Pens, ether black, blue, or red. Or all three." Mia said.

"Black and red." Akira answered, picking up some pens. "Next?" She asked, with a smile.

Mia smiled back and shook her head lightly. "Umm, five notebooks, some loss notebook paper, pencils, one binder, and a planing book." Mia answered. "Oh, and you need a book bag."

"That it?" Akira asked.

"Yep, that's all it says. They provide your books at the school." Mia answered.

"Cool." Akira said, picking up a black, three-ring binder and five black notebooks. Then they made their way over to the next aisle. Mia picked up some notebook paper, some mechanical pencils, and led for the pencils.

"So now all we need to find is the planer and a bag." Mia answered with a smile.

"K." Akira smiled back. She looked up and down the aisles, looking for ether a book bag section or a section that would have planers in it.

"Hey, Akira down here. I found the bags." Mia yelled, from about two aisles over.

"Coming." Akira yelled back. She ran towards her voice. After running up and down two different aisles she found Mia. Akira walked over to her and smiled.

She smiled back. "I don't know what you like. But they have a lot of different kinds here, so you should be able to find something." She said, as Akira turned to look at her selection.

"Here, this one." She said, picking up one. It was one those bags that you carry on only one of your shoulder. It was black and had picture of a tiger on it.

"K. Did you find the planers?" Mia asked, as they started walking again.

"Nope." Akira said, shaking her head.

"K. Well, we can look for those while are looking for the guys. Knowing them, they have probably already checked out and are outside of the store. Sage, is flirting with some girl and Rowen is doing his best not to crack up laughing." Mia said, as they found what they where looking for.

Akira giggled and picked up a small planer book, which looked about the same as her bag. Only it had two tigers. One was white and the other one was orange. "K. I thinks that's all. Right?" She asked.

"Yep, that's all." Mia answered, as they made their way towards the check out line.

After they had paid for their stuff. They walked out of the store to find the guy, sure enough, Sage was flirting with some girl and Rowen was doing his best not to crack up laughing. Mia and Akira looked at each other and rolled their eyes. "Told ya." Mia whispered, in Akira's ear.

Akira just shook her head and giggled, as they walked up to the guys. Rowen noticed her giggling. "Funny isn't it?" He asked, as the girls stopped and stood in front of them.

"A little." Akira said, trying has hard as she could not to brushed out laughing.

"What?" Sage asked, as the girl left.

"Nothing." Akira giggled.

Sage rolled his eyes and sat back down.

"Oh, come Sage. Do be such a bum. I think it's cute." She said, sitting down on his lap.

He couldn't help be smile. "So, did you get all your stuff?" He asked, as she got up.

"Yep." She answered, with a big smile.

"Well, we got about an hour before the mall closes." Mia said, looking over to Akira. Whose eyes lit up like a Christmas tree. "Come on, I know a store you'd like." Mia said, taking hold of Akira's wrist. The guys following close behind. About two minutes, they arrived at the store Mia was talking about.

"No way. I didn't know they had a Rave here. Man am I in heaven or what?!" Akira said, running into the store.

"I'd though she'd like it." Mia said, as she and the guys walked in after her.

The guys shook their heads, but couldn't help but giggle.

"Akira, come here." Mia yelled, from across to store.

"What?" Akira asked, when she got over to where Mia was standing.

"Here." Mia said, holding up a dress. It was a long black dress with a large tiger on the front. It had spaghetti straps and two high slits on each side. "I noticed you liked tigers." She said, with a smile handing Akira the dress. "Go try it on. The dressing rooms are over there." She said, pointing to one of the corners across the store.

"K." Akira said, running over to the dressing room.

"I'll be there in a sec." Mia said.

After Akira had disappeared into the dressing room. Mia continued looking.

"Hey Mia. Where's Akira?" Rowen asked, as he and Sage walked up.

"She's in the dressing room." Mia answered, as they made their way over to the dressing room.

Just then Akira stepped out. She was wearing the dress Mia had fond. "Well?" She asked with a smile. Sage and Rowen's mouths dropped.

"Cool." Mia said, smiling back. "You like it?" Mia asked.

"Yeah." Akira said, as her smile got bigger.

"Good. Now go change. Then we can pay for it and get home." Mia said, with a smile.

"Are you serious?" Akira asked.

"Yep. But hurry the malls about ready to close." Mia answered.

"Cool." Akira said, hugging Mia before running back into the dressing room.

Mia just giggled, then looked over at the guys. "Are you guys ok?" She asked.

"Uhh...." Was all Sage could say.

Rowen snapped himself back into reality. "Yeah, I'm ok." He said, elbowing Sage in the ribs.

"Ouch." He said, looking over at Rowen. Rowen just gave him, the cut it out look and stared walking back out towards the bench. Sage looked over at Mia, who was basically in tears she was laughing so hard.

"Are you sure your ok, their Sage?" She asked, between breaths.

"Ah, I'm fine." He said, walking out to sit with Rowen.

Mia was still giggling when Akira came out of the dressing room. "What's, so funny?" She asked, a little confused.

"Did you see the looks on the guys faces, when you came out." Mia said, as they went out to pay for their stuff.

"Not really. Do I even wont to asked?" Akira answered.

"Well, lets say their mouth where hanging open. Rowen released what he was doing. But as for Sage, he's eyes where coming out of his head." Mia said, trying not to breast out laughing as they paid for they're this. "And, Sage doesn't do that every much. The girls are usually the ones who have their eyes pop on of their heads." Mia said, as they walked out of the store.

"Really?" Akira giggled.

"Yep, you should have seen it. It was funny." Mia said, as they walked up to the guys.

"What was funny?" Sage asked, already knows what they where talking about.

"Nothing." Akira said, as she tried not to laugh.

"Right." He said, not really wanting to push the subject any farther.

"Hey Mia what time is it?" Akira asked, as the small group made their way out of the mall and towards Mia's red jeep.

"It's about ten a clock." Mia answered.

"K." Akira said, with a yawn.

"We'll be home in about twenty minutes." She said, yawning herself.

"Hey Mia, do you wont me to drive?" Rowen asked, noticing her yawn. "You look tired."

"No, that's ok. I think I can make it home. Thanks anyway Rowen." Mia answered, with a smile.

"Ok." He smiled back, as they go into the jeep. After about five minutes Akira had fallen a sleep, on Sage's shoulder. Rowen looked back to see way in was so quite and he noticed that she was a sleep. He looked at Sage and smiled. Sages smiled back and rapped his arm around Akira and lend back in his seat. Rowen just shook his head and smiled lightly.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Hey, Sage." Whispered Rowen. "Sage." He whispered again, then gently put a hand on Sage's shoulder.

Sage opened his eyes and looked up to find Rowen looking down at him. "Yeah?" He asked.

"We're home." Rowen answered, with a small smile.

Sage smiled back and looked down to see that Akira was still asleep. He smiled lightly and looked back at Rowen.

"Mia and I'll get the bags." Rowen said, patting Sage on the shoulder and smiled.

Sage smiled back then turned back to Akira, who was still asleep. He gently picked her up and followed Mia and Rowen into the house. Once in Mia shut the door behind Sage and smiled lightly. She followed him upstairs and into Akira's room. Sage gently laid Akira in her bed and Mia put down a couple of bags that had Akira's thing in, on the other bed. After that they quietly made their way out of the room. Sage gently closed the door behind him.
