Sup guys, aight, so neways, I've finally finished my exams. That exam was the MCAT - for those of you who don't know, that's the MEDICAL SCHOOL ADMISSIONS TEST (the test was a whopping 5.5 hours)!!! Neways, so you guys can guess that I'm a bit older than high school. Hehe.oh well, the actors themselves aren't that much older than me. Hehe (I can dream, can't I)? Ok, back to the fic:
Jaq: Let me say, you are extremely funny and one of the ppl I especially look forward to hearing from. Thanks for your continued comments and encouragements. As for Rika, glad you like the character. Can you guess who she's shaped after? *hint hint* Neways, as for her staying in the story, muahahahaha that's all I can say. Stick around though, I promise it will be worth your while.
As for the moves and clothes, I prolly wouldn't have the guts to really wear that kinda outfit- although it would be INteresting. As for the breaking moves, my sis got those off a website. They are pretty cool. Photon lights (raving) however, we both do that forreal. It's a lot of fun and a great way to vary your dancing if you are into that stuff, which it sounds like you are.
Gomay: Ok, thanks for your concession with Tori/Shane. Perhaps after this fic is done, we'll think about Tori and Dustin. Its certainly an idea worth pursuing. Glad you are enjoying the story.
As always, READ AND REEEEVIEW!!!
Thnx!

"Thanks guys, that was a lot of fun. But we better get to bed. I've gotta get some sleep," Cam said walking into Ninja Ops.
Clare and Blake stopped, "Yeah, us too. We're exhausted."
Rika looking at the stars remarked, "I'll see you guys soon. I just want to sit outside for awhile."
Blake nodded at his brother, "I'll see you later."
Hunter looking at Rika replied, "K, later. I think I'll chill here for a bit."
Clare winked at Aeri, who just rolled her eyes, "Alright then, See ya later. Gnite."
Hunter watched Blake and Clare leaving. He turned and looked at Rika who was gazing at the stars. He walked over to her and stood slightly behind her.
"You ok?" he asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I used to go stargazing with my dad. They're so beautiful, twinkling up there. I've always wondered what it would be like to go up in space."
She sat down on a boulder. "By the way, you dance well."
"Thanks, I can't actually believe I did that today. You rave quite well too."
Rika laughed, "Same here. Clare's got interesting ways of making me do what she wants."
Hunter laughed, "Yeah, I hear you. Blake manages to talk me into doing some of the craziest things."
An awkward pause, "Do you miss your parents?"
Hunter shifted his weight, "Yeah, even though Blake and I were adopted, Gloria and Stephen were like the real thing. They're the only parents I ever knew."
Rika hugged her knees to her chest. "I miss them so much. That's why Clare and I are here. At Ninja Ops. Uncle is our guardian and godfather."
Hunter replied, "I'm sorry. I know how that goes."
Rika smiled sadly, unshed tears just glimmering in her moonlit eyes. "Does the pain ever go away?"
Hunter sighed and sat down next to Rika, "No, but it does get easier."
Rika placed her head on Hunter's shoulder. Hunter was slightly surprised, but recovered. He slowly put his arm around her shoulder, hugging her to him.
"Hey Hunter? Why are you nice to me even though all I do is blow you off?"
"Cuz that's what friends do. And you can be nice when you want to be," He said the last part with a smile in his voice.
Rika laughed softly, "You started it though, with that volleyball. I'm not normally that rude to people. Especially people I've just met."
Back inside Ninja Ops, Blake and Clare were sitting at the low table on the color-coded cushions across from each other.
"Wow, that was probably the most fun I've ever had.thanks." Sighed Clare, with her cheek on one hand, her other on the table surface, unconsciously etching her crest with a strand of electricity following her finger.
"Hehe, same here. Do you go clubbing much?" Asked Blake, his arms crossed and was leaning on the edge of the table.
Still staring at the table surface, Clare stopped her hand although the crest figure was still shining on the surface. "Actually, this is the first time I've ever been in a club. I was surprised they actually let me in."
"Really? Why?" Asked Blake, puzzled.
Looking up she gave a slight snort of laughter, "Hehe, look at me.I'm so short, that everyone who doesn't know me thinks I'm at least twelve years old!"
"Eh, well you do, sort of" - Clare eyes slightly narrowed, faltered, and smiled that stopped Blake's heart for a beat.
"Yeah I know."
"Still, you looked great tonight . . ."
Not saying anything, Clare looked back down unto the table, content to just listen to the silence . . . and with the occasional murmur from Cam's room.
Blake was content to just watch the girl, young woman actually, across the table, as his eyes traveled across her face. Her black hair with extremely dark blue highlights streaked through only seen in bright light and when she's in full power, the large brown eyes that crackled with energy and burned with an inner light. Her round face framed by a strand of highlighted hair that had slipped out of place from behind her ear, the slender neck with the navy silk collar -
"Blake?"
"Yeah?"
"Can I ask you a personal question?"
"Sure, shoot."
"How do you deal with it?"
"Deal with wha - ?" At that moment he knew and couldn't help himself but immediately became cool towards Clare. "About my parents?"
With a sigh, Clare took her head off her hand and let it fall to the table. "Yes. Does the pain ever go away?"
"No . . . but it does get easier . . . why? What happened to your parents?"
Still staring at the table, Clare answered in a low voice that slightly trembled, "They're gone. They were killed by a drunk driver."
Instantly, Blake was full of remorse and silently berated himself, slowly he unfolded his arms and reached out and placed his hand over Clare's.
Clare looked up, Blake could see the unshed tears in her eyes; her usual cheery facade had cracked.
/She's really hurting inside, and nobody seems to notice.../
Abruptly she stood up, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked that. It's none of my business."
Standing up, Blake gently caught her arm as Clare turned to go, half expecting her to jerk her arm away and shock him. "No, I'm sorry, it's all right. It's ok."
Still grasping Clare's arm he walked around the table until he was in front of her, Clare watched the floor until Blake gently lifted her chin with one hand. She could see his tanned face and black hair, framed by his twinkling almond eyes and his mouth that was always ready to smile.
Simultaneously both began to speak, "Blake, I - " "Clare, I - "
Clare blushed and looked down, "Um, you first."
Blake took a deep breath and sighed, "Clare, I - um - I've never met a girl like you - um - no that's not what I meant to say - "
Blake faltered and stopped as Clare patiently watched, perplexed.
"I've never met a woman like you and - I don't understand these feelings I have - agh." Giving an exasperated sigh he threw his head back and stared at the ceiling for a few moments. Looking back down he could see Clare's face: it still had that perplexed expression.
/Wow, she's pretty cute like that./
With her head cocked slightly to one side, slowly uncocked her head and blushed, almost as if she had read his thought. "Um, did I just say that out loud?"
Without a word, she slowly nodded.
Blake blushed furiously and gave up on talking. Slowly he lowered his head until he felt the warm contact of her lips on his, he could feel the warmth flush through his body while thinking in the back of his head, /Shoot! I hope she doesn't shock me for this!/ Pulling back he looked searchingly into Clare's face.
Clare was absolutely speechless, and could feel the blood rushing into her head and with her mind completely void of thought except one, /Did he just kiss me?/
Unwrapping his arm from around Clare's waist which had seemed to wrap itself around her in the heat of the moment, Blake started to pull back, muttering apologies, "I'm sorry for being so abrupt, forgive me, -- I - "
Clare took his arm and pulled him back towards her, she placed her hand on his lips, reached up and gave him a kiss of her own with a little bit of something extra, he reached her halfway there.
Now both could feel the thrill of electricity humming through their bodies, as they pulled each other's body closer. Finally, they pulled themselves apart.
Clare shyly grinned, "Thank you . . . for everything." Turned to her room, but as she walked in she turned again for one last look at Blake who still stood there in the middle of the room and turned in for the night.
Blake was still in a daze that he accidentally walked into the kitchen instead of the room that he was shared with his brother.
~~~~~~~~
Hunter didn't know how much time had passed, but he was starting to get a little chilly. The wind was picking up and he felt Rika shiver next to him. He looked over and saw that she had fallen asleep.
/Hmm, she looks so peaceful when she's asleep. She's vulnerable, not the hard-core, determined, strong exterior she always puts on./
He nudged Rika slightly, "Rika, its time to go to sleep. You'll catch a cold out here."
Rika mumbled and then blinked, trying to understand who had awoken her. "Oh yeah, thanks."
Hunter helped Rika up and the two walked into Ninja Ops. Hunter walked Rika to her room. Opening the door, she stopped and looked at Hunter.
"Hey Hunter, thanks."
To Hunter's never-ending amazement, she reached up and gave him a light kiss on the cheek. With that, she walked in and closed the door.
Hunter stood outside Rika's room stunned. /Wow, what just happened?/ His head was spinning, and he felt like he was on clouds. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw his brother walking from the kitchen, looking pretty much like how Hunter felt.
The two brothers walked to their own room.
"Well, 'nite bro." Blake said turning in.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hunter lay in bed, but he couldn't sleep. His mind was on a particular girl who had just blown him away with a simple goodnight kiss. He'd kissed other girls before, but none of them had affected him the way Rika did.
He smiled, remembering the night's events and pictured Rika in her clubbing clothes. /Damn, gotta admit. She looked hot./
Hunter heard his brother turn around and sigh. /Looks like Blake is having some trouble sleeping as well./
"Hey, you awake?" Blake asked Hunter.
"Yeah, can't sleep. You?"
"Same."
"What's on your mind?" Hunter asked.
"Bro, I think I'm in love with her." Blake replied.
Hunter restrained a laugh, but smiled in the darkness, "Clare? So what's wrong with that? She seems like a nice girl."
"Yeah, she is. Nothing. It's just a weird feeling. Like I mean, I liked Tori, I really did care about her but I never felt like this about her."
Hunter laughed, "That's normal. And it's probably a good thing, or Shane would pound you into the ground."
Blake stopped and thought about what his brother said. Then he asked, "Is that how you feel about Rika?"
Hunter paused, but then decided to own up. "Yeah, Its hard to explain, but its like she's an intoxicating perfume. Just a small whiff and bam. The impact is huge."
"So, we've fallen in love with two sisters. I wonder what Sensei and Cam would say to that."
Hunter corrected, "I don't know what you've told Clare, but Rika and I haven't even talked. It's a little early to say 'love."
Blake nodded in the dark, "Yeah, but I know I love Clare . . . I think she does too."
"I'm happy for you bro, just let things go and see where they lead. Don't try too hard, but don't be dense."
"Anyways, I'm worked, g'nite Bro."
"G'nite Blake."
Hunter lay awake and thought about Blake's confession. Love. /Did he love Rika? If he did, he wasn't ready to say so, at least not to Rika. However, in the dark of his room, and to himself he could admit it, yes, he did love Rika./
