Chapter 2 some "Uh-ohs" and some "whoas!"

Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN ANYTHING! NONE OF IT! (Not even the idea for this fanfic, that belongs partly to those nice people that made that movie, but oh well...) Anyways, if you try to sue me, I'll get angry, and you wouldn't like me when I'm angry....

Iya walked up the hall towards her locker, when she spotted Sphinx leaning on her locker. She slowed her pace considerably, when Sphinx looked up at her. Sphinx smirked, sending chills down Iya's spine, which to her unknowing, would be hurting later. "Was 'wrong Peire? Scared of lil' ole' me?" Iya glared at him, although she was trembling "it's Pierce Sphinx, P-I-E-R-C-E, to break it down for you,"

"Same difference to me, Hunny," Iya felt her temper rising at this, but she kept it at bay. Suddenly Sphinx got a solemn expression "Anyways, I just wanted to apologize for what I said at lunch today and I was wondering if you could come outside with me into the courtyard, It'll be a real quick walk, okay?" She was highly suspicious but nodded anyway, her curiosity getting the best of her. "Fine, but where are we going?" Sphinx just shrugged, as if it really didn't matter. "Just a slow walk," He led her outside, holding all the doors open for her and such. Iya becomes a lot more calm and smiles while watching all the people gape at Sphinx leading her through the courtyard.

Sphinx led her past the courtyard, to the woods outside of the school. Iya returned to her nervousness but remained calm. She glanced around and saw the trees become more thick and dense as they went deeper into the forest. It took about five minutes to where Sphinx finally stopped, in which those moments Iya took the time to watch around her. The birds had all flown away, along with all the other animals. She had also noticed another set of footsteps that Sphinx was actually following. I bet he's got some of his lackey's hiding somewhere to jump me, She kept her alert up.

As they stopped in the middle of a grove, Sphinx turned to the right and put a hand up, high-fiving someone she couldn't see. "Hey Yen," "What's up, Sphinx?" Iya tensed up, ready for him to pounce on her. "Not much, Jus' like you to meet Iya Pierce," Sphinx gestured towards her and Yen smiled. Yen put out his hand and Iya took it, immediately Yen took her hand and twisted it behind her back hurtfully, making Iya grimace and whimper in pain. Yen agonizingly grasped her other arm and held them both in a strong lock. Sphinx smirked at Iya, while she whimpered in fear. Sphinx abruptly took her face and put his lips roughly to hers. Iya tilted her head away and screamed out, making sure she put all her effort into that yell. Sphinx backed away, disgusted. Yen kneed her in the spine, making her go quiet and fall to the ground. "Leave her there, she's not a good kisser at all.... I don't want her," Sphinx said, walking off. Yen kicked Iya in the side, then yanking her up by the hair, and slapped her hard across the face. Yen let her fall back to the ground while menacingly saying "if you tell anyone about this, we will do much worse," Yen walked off and as soon as he turned around, Iya started to slowly float up. Her eyes were a fierce blue, while the white furry belt around her waist was quivering with fury. However, when she touched her face, she winced, knowing there would soon be a bruise there where he had slapped her.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*At 6:00 that night*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Iya thanks her mom and gets out of the car, looking at the Piece of paper that Brad had given her earlier that day. She put it in her pocket and matched the address to the house on the street her mother dropped her off at. She gaped at it, stunned not only by how large the house was, but also by the guise of the house. It had a country air to it, but was still modern in it's own right. The front yard was well maintained, with little islands of flowers surrounded by green, green grass. The house itself was white, with blue shutters and a gray roof. She walks up the huge driveway and towards the door, glancing at everything in awe. Iya rang the doorbell once and she could tell someone had been waiting for her. She could hear someone, most likely Brad say "Bulma, is everything ready? Chichi you got it? Okay!" Iya listened then suddenly Brad opened the door, startling her.

Brad smiled "Hey Iya, how are...whoa, is everything okay?" Brad led her inside. From a mirror Iya could see that her bruise had already shown up, as well as a minor scratch right above her left eyebrow. "Oh yeah, just had a minor disagreement with my dog," She tried to sound convincing, and she surprised herself how calm and natural it sounded. Brad chuckled at the thought, and gestured upstairs "well okay, Come on upstairs, Bulma and Chichi are waiting for ya," Iya nodded, taking in her surroundings while going up the stairs in the foyer. Brad walks backwards, telling her about the place. "Now remember Iya, this is all free, just think of it as a complimentary induction to our friendship ring,"

They get to a bedroom and Brad opens the door, revealing two girls sitting on the bed, both looking Iya's age. One had long blue hair with beautiful aquamarine eyes. (A/n: yeah, I checked, they're not blue) The other had straight black hair, with chocolate-colored eyes. They both smiled amiably at Iya and stood up. Brad guided Iya into the room and introduced them. "This is Bulma, probably heard a lot about her, running for class president and leader of the academy and honors society," Bulma exchanged a handshake and hello with her, and began to put things together while the other girl stood patiently. "And this is Chichi, you've either heard of her having the highest average ever in Home Ec. Class or seen her yell at her boyfriend for doing something," Chichi said hello and started to help Bulma set things up. Brad smirks "Iya, this is all to get that jerk Sphinx back and to help you in the popularity department a bit," Iya nodded with a glint of vengeance in her eye. He winked, "Okay girls, do your worst,"

~*~*~*~*~*~*about an hour and half later*~*~*~*~*~*~

Iya quietly opens the door, looking around for Brad. She sees brad on the ground, immersed in tug-a-war with his dog using a oven mitt. She chuckles, "Brad? I'm done," Brad looks up at her, "Oh hey!" The dog takes advantage of his distraction and runs away with the mitt. Brad stands up and brushes himself off. "What do you think?" Iya twirls for him once, giggling. Her hair was up in a chignon bun, with strands of hair left out, to frame her face. She was wearing a denim skirt with a silk purple peasant top that hung off the shoulders. An amethyst necklace laid on her neck while she wore matching dangling earrings. To complete her outfit, she had on denim thong (A/n: I know you like that word, but I'm not talking bout' undies) sandals that had little purple flowers on the straps. Brad takes it all in, and gets a bashful look on his face. Stumbling over his words, he points a finger in the air, waving it "Umm....just....umm....just a minute," Brad rushes back into the bedroom, closing and locking the door, leaving Iya looking very confused.

Brad comes in the room looking exasperated, "I thought you guys said you would do your best?!" Chichi becomes pissed and Bulma narrows her eyes. "What do you mean Brad?" Bulma rears on him, Chichi behind her "Yeah Brad, is something wrong?" They are ready to tear him apart, when he says "Well....uh....I...I....uh.....I mean.....No, but......I didn't think you'd turn her into a supermodel! Holy smokes!" Bulma + Chichi + Brad = *anime fall* Brad walks back out, still stumbling over his thoughts a bit. "Is everything okay Brad?" Iya looked concerned about him, even if her head was tilted in confusion. First in a high-pitched voice, Brad said "Yea..." He cleared his throat and his voice came back to normal, "I mean, yeah," Iya laughed, "Bulma and Chichi gave me more clothes, do you want to see the rest of them on me?" Brad, still observing her, "Man...you....you look great," Iya blushed profusely at the remark, "Why thank you," Back in the room, after Bulma and Chichi had recovered from their fall, they were talking "I think, he likes her already," Chichi remarked. "Let's just not tell him that we didn't put any make-up on her okay?" Bulma asked, Chichi nodded and they got the stuffed together. In the other room, Brad was still looking at Iya, while she was doing vogue poses like models, when Brad said "How about without em'.......I mean.....you look great!" this was said without thinking, clearly. Chichi and Bulma had poked out their heads and giggled at what he just replied. Iya glanced over at the clock, "Oh man I better get home before my mom kills me!" "Did you drive here?"

Iya shook her head, "I don't have my license yet, my mother dropped me off," Brad nodded, "Alright, I'll take you home then," Looking over to Chichi and Bulma, "Girls, if you wanna invite the guys over, go ahead, I'll be back later," Bulma and Chichi also shook their heads, "Actually, Brad we better go too, We have lots of planning for tomorrow,"

He looked confused as Iya had, "Well...umm, okay" Iya looked back at them and asked tentatively "See you tomorrow at school?" They both nodded, smiled and waved. As Brad and Iya walked to the truck, Brad became serious, and took a trunk filled with Iya's new clothes and put it in the back. As They got into the car, Brad looked over to Iya. "Iya Where do you live?" "Hanford Apartments,"

"Whoa, way out there huh?" Iya nodded and watched as the Car roared to life. "Alright, On our way," The truck ambled down the driveway and into the night.
