High School Days – Chapter 5
Pillows, club, mall, and a new guy
Corri: Yea! New chapter time! Ok.. time to spoil all my surprises for all you readers. First, I'm adding another new char, but only for this chapter (So far, gotta ask Joe about adding him in more). Also, I –might-, and man, I mean MIGHT, be switching around some of my couples. . Ohkies, enough plotline ideas, on to the story . . . and the disclaimer.
Disclaimer: Do I –look- like I own YYH? Sure hope not. I don't look Japanese, and I'm not creative enough to make a show . . not to mention I can't draw. I also don't own any of the animes about to be mentioned, nor do I own any of the songs mentioned, or any of the characters, except Fogg. Everyone else is borrowed.
Kurama's PoV
"Ok, so should we watch Voices of a Distant Star, the Jing series, or Orphan?" I asked everyone, sifting through Yukina and Hiei's extensive anime DVD collection.
Fogg looked up from her Jing: King of Bandits manga and shrugged "Voices of a Distant Star is kinda sad, Kura . . How about we watch Orphan?" She shrugged again and went back to the manga.
"Sounds good to me, I used to have the manga." Rinny said, as she flung another pillow at Riki, who caught it and grumbled, then flung it to Botan.
"Yeah, let's go wi—HEY!!!" Botan had half-finished her sentence when the pillow Riki had thrown landed in her face. She looked around for the persecutor, and shrugged and turned, bashing Kam in the face.
"WHOA! What the hell?!" Kam grinned and grabbed the pillow from her, flinging it full-force at Hiei, who simply dodged it by tiling his head, then turned and grabbed another three pillows, throwing them at various people. Needless to say, that started a huge pillow-fight. I dove onto the ground, landing on top of Rinny accidentally, and grabbed a pillow, throwing it at Yukina, before rolling over to avoid further bashing on the back of the head with the pillow Rinny was sitting on. This was gonna be really fun.
Rinny's PoV
I just about died when Kura landed on my lap. Luckily, I recovered myself in enough time to hit him in the back of the head with a pillow a couple good shots before he rolled over. Sitting up, I put to fingers into my mouth and let out a whistle that was probably loud enough to be heard down the street.
"THE HELL?!" Fogg shouted, looking up from her manga – she hadn't even moved when the pillow-fight started, and no one bothered to try and get her to. She glanced around, then nodded, and turned her attention back to me, like everyone else.
"Wow, didn't know you could pierce like that, Rinny." Kam said, looking in disbelief.
"Happens when you come from where I used to live, calling your brother home for dinner in the country is easier if you can blast a whistle." I shrugged some, then sat up more. "Anyways, it's almost seven, and the club opens at nine, what say we all head home and change into some more clubbish cloths?" I asked, nodding to everyone's outfits, which were a mix of bathing suits and t-shirts, tank-tops, and jeans.
"Good idea." Fogg said, standing up and stretching.
"I'll give you guys a ride home, I have room in my van . . if some of you don't mind having someone sit on your lap that is." Botan offered. Everyone agreed, and Riki said he'd leave his car here and pick it up tomorrow afternoon.
Botan's PoV
I sighed, climbing in behind the wheel and glancing back. Kam was in the seat next to me again, and right behind him was Fogg, with Rinny next to her, and Riki behind her, Kura next to him. Looks like we didn't need to worry about room. I started the engine and drove each of them home, dropping of Kam first. Before he got out, he kissed me and said he'd see me in about an hour – we had all agreed to meet at Fogg's, since her house was closest, and walk there as a group. I nodded and drove off, as he walked inside.
Once I got home, I dropped my stuff on the couch, and went into my room, not bothering to close the door since I was the only one home for at least another hour. My dad worked the night shift and had already left, and my mom worked until about nine.
Stripping off my bikini top and shorts, I started my normal outfit ritual. Open closet and all dresser drawers, then search for something that would look good and fit the mood. I knew tonight was going to be wild dancing and some insane drinking, so I decided on skimpy, form-fitting, black clothes. I grabbed an old sweatshirt that had the sleeves cut-off, and had various holes in the stomach, and a short tight black skirt, that went to about my mid-thigh, with a slit on the right side that went up to my hip, and was held closed by a blood red rose clip. Also grabbing my black panties and strapless bra, I went into the bathroom to shower and get dressed.
After I had finished showering and was scrutinizing myself in the mirror, I decided to pull my hair back in two ponytails and then braid them both, before rolling them up into one bun on the back of my head. I got to work on my hair, while thinking about what make-up I would wear.
Fifteen minutes later, I was finishing applying my dark-red lipstick that matched the rose on the side of my skirt. I had on smokey grey eye shadow, and some thin black eyeliner, I capped my lipstick and grabbed my rouge, putting a little on each of my cheekbones, right below my eyes. Giving myself the once-over again, I decided I looked good, and went out into the living room to grab my shoes. Pulling on a pair of red socks that also matched my lipstick and the rose, I slipped on my black lace-up boots that went just past my ankle and tied them, then grabbed my purse and walked outside, heading over to Fogg's place to chill and wait for the others.
Rinny's PoV
After Botan dropped me off at home, I went inside, and straight to my room. I tossed my stuff from the day onto my bed and went over to my walk-in closet, turning on the light and looking at my goth/punk cloths. I thought for a moment, then grabbed a pair of baggy black jeans with some chains dangling off the legs, and a black t-shirt with very short sleeves and a slit up the middle that stopped at my breastbone, plus my black panties with the silver pentagram on the front, and my black sports bra. I smiled at my outfit, grabbed some fishnet stockings and a pair of 'hooker boots' the kind that go up to about your knee, and walked into the upstairs bathroom to shower, fix my hair, dress and work on my make-up for the night.
After a quick shower, I stood in front of our full-length mirror and looked over my outfit choice, then decided the shirt needed something else, so I went back to my room, grabbed some silver glitter, and drew a large inverted pentagram on the back with it. Putting the shirt back on and sitting down at my desk/make-up counter, I glanced at my face in the mirror, before deciding on black lipstick, black eye shadow, heavy black eye liner, and that paling make-up my mom didn't know I had. I was going goth tonight.
Applying the make-up took almost no time, since I did it almost every day. I went back into the bathroom and grabbed my silver nail polish, putting it on over my chipped black, and letting it dry before adding a layer of clear for gloss. I looked at my hair. Bad idea, I may have looked great, but my hair looked like it belonged on a statue of some old Greek goddess of ugliness. I got to work brushing it, cussing loudly each time I pulled my own hair accidentally. Finally, I decided it was brushed enough for styling. Tying my hair into two tight braids, I looped them up so that they rested right on my shoulders, instead of going down to my waist. I sprayed the looped braids with silver glitter-spray, and walked back to my bedroom, pulling on and lacing up my boots, before grabbing my purse – and a wad of money from my mom – and walking out the door and over to Fogg's.
Yukina's PoV (Corri: This is gonna have Hiei's outfit in it too, peoples!)
I turned up my radio and popped in my burnt Atreyu CD, pressing the 'repeat all' button and getting ready to change, since I had already showered. Glancing at the clothes I had chosen, I decided they looked too preppy, a modest grey skirt with a black t-shirt, and put them back. "Hey bro, what should I wear tonight?" I called, hoping Hiei would hear me over the music I had blasting.
"Wear that short black skirt and grey half-top." He said, from right outside my door. He must have been passing by on his way to his room.
"Ok, thanks." I grabbed the said clothes and put them on, with my black thong and no bra underneath. I sat down in front of my mirror and put on light red lipstick, some blue eyeliner, black eye shadow – but not a lot – and a hint of rouge on my cheeks. I smiled at myself, then pulled my hair back into a loose bun, and walked downstairs to grab my sneakers and purse. Hiei was already there, wearing a baggy black t-shirt with the words 'It's only funny until someone gets hurt . . . then it's hilarious.' on it, underneath his favorite black hoody, which was also about three sizes too big. He had on black jeans that were, like everything else he owned, too big for him, and there was a flaming skull patch on the side of them, over the pocket.
"Ready?" I asked him, walking to the door. He nodded and walked behind me, slouching and looking like a thug. I smiled to myself and though that if any cops saw us, they'd probably think he was going to jump me.
Riki's PoV
I looked up from my bed and saw my sister standing in my doorway. "What?" I asked, pulling on my socks the rest of the way.
"Where you going tonight?" She looked at me with her big innocent green eyes, and a small smile on her face.
"Out." I pulled on my tight grey t-shirt that showed every bit of muscle I had and grabbed the chains off my bedside table, hooking them onto my jeans in various places.
"Can I come?" She smiled more, and her eyes looked almost too hopeful to be true.
"No, this is a grown-up place." I stood up, grabbing my sneakers and putting them on, walking to the living room.
"You're not a grown-up yet, Riki!" She shouted at me, accusingly. I sighed and rolled up my shirtsleeve, letting my tattoo, that mom didn't know about yet, show.
"I know, but I'm close enough to be able to get into grown-up places." I grabbed my wallet, putting it into the back pocket of my jeans, and threw my coat over my shoulder.
"Hey. You promised to take me to the park tomorrow if I didn't tell mom about your tattoo, remember?" She changed the subject, seeing that black death symbol I had let the guy print onto my bicep.
"How could I forget?" I muttered, "I'll take you tomorrow when I wake-up, unless it's after five, then I can't because I have to take Yukina to the dance."
"YEA!" Guess that was good enough for her. I sighed as she skipped off into her room and walked outside and down the street to Fogg's place.
Kam's PoV
I stepped out of the shower and grabbed a towel. Walking down the hall to my room, I glanced around, feeling like I did that morning, only this time my brother was awake and had his friend over, so they were playing video games in his room, not bothering me.
Closing and locking my door, I sat down at my computer and booted the thing up, then turned and grabbed my cloths. I was going to wear my cammo pants with a black long sleeve t-shirt rolled up to my biceps, with a white beater, the 'wind' kanji printer in red on the back, over top of that. Plain socks and sneakers. Perfect outfit for me. I finished dressing, and sat back down at my computer, since I had about a half-hour before I had to go to Fogg's place.
I had just signed on to AIM, when someone IMed me, and asked where I was in school that day. Checking my list I had taped next to the computer, I saw it was Allison, some girl in my global history class. I said I was sick, and she left me alone. Foolish at times, even if she was top-of-the-class. I opened my music player, and clicked on my playlist, letting the 100 or so songs start to play. I glanced around, then smiled to myself and checked Yahoo, seeing Fogg on, I messaged her, just to be annoying.
(Corri: Ok, this is an IM convo, so yeah. Necromancer is Kam, and LittleThief is Fogg, also, for later, Riki is BlackDeath, Yukina is FrozeCrystal, Hiei is DragonFlame, Botan is SoulTaker, Kurama is Kitsu- chan, Rinny is SilentPrayer, Yuusuke is BadassPunk1076, Keiko is School- Girl43, and Kuwabara is IL0v3K1tT3nZ. Don't ask about Kuwabara's --0 It translates to IloveKittens, by the way.)
Necromancer: Boo!
Necromancer: HA HA HA! Scared you!
LittleThief: Not really, jackass.
LittleThief: I knew you'd IM me, and annoy me.
Necromancer: Oh well. Lol, Allison msged me on AIM and asked why I wasn't in school. Stupid little girl.
LittleThief: Hah! I'm not on AIM yet, and I don't plan to be. I thought I'd get online while I waited for all of you to get your lazy asses over here.
Necromancer: You still got the DeadAIM file I sent you?
LittleThief: Yeah
Necromancer: Good. When they get over, hop on with them all, ok?
LittleThief: Why bother? You'll be coming over soon too.
Necromancer: Oh yeah. Nvm then
LittleThief: Moron
LittleThief: hey, Yukina and Hiei are here, gotta go.
LittleTheif has signed offline.
I sighed some, closing down the convo and signing off as well, then stood up as my comp shut-down, and walked to my door, unlocking it and walking out. I stopped to tell my mom I'd be gone till pretty late, but had my key, and grabbed my wallet, putting it on my side-pocket, where it was zipped off so no one could get in.
Kurama's PoV
I was the last one to arrive at Fogg's house. I smiled some and nodded to her mom as she let me in, then went into her bedroom with the others. They guys were all talking about Riki's new tattoo, so I joined them. I don't know what the girls were talking about, and I don't really care.
I leaned against the wall, wearing my tan khakis and a red muscle shirt, and looked around. Fogg lived in a pretty shabby apartment, not in the real good part of town, but it was all her and her mom could afford. Her dad had walked out of them about three years ago, and she never mentioned him. Anyways, I realized my outfit was a bit tamer then the other guys', but it didn't bother me. I was a bit tamer then the other guys, after all.
Fogg had on her favorite blue jeans, the ones she had stolen from the boy's department in the local clothing store, and then had sewn patches on. She had a silver pentagram patch, an eightball patch, a patch that said 'fire' with the symbol for fire above it, and a skull and crossbones patch. Her shirt was really different, and I guessed it was new, or revised. It was made of sweatshirt material, but the sleeves only went down to her elbow. The shirt itself was the same shade of blue as her pants, but on the front she had drawn with red paint a pentagram with the words "Blessed be" underneath it, and on the back was an inverted pentagram with the words "Satan power!" underneath it. Also, she had on a black bucket hat with the Earth, Air, Water, and Fire symbols patched onto it, along with the pentagram and a crescent moon. I chuckled at her creative flare and went back to looking at Riki's tattoo. I heard Rinny say something about black Vans, and figured that was what Fogg was wearing.
"So, we all ready to go get hammered, blow some cash, and dance?" Fogg asked, grabbing her wallet from her purse and stuffing some money she stole from her mom into it. We all nodded in unison and headed out, waving goodbye to Mrs. Space on the way, while Fogg said we were going to the club. I wish my mom was as lenient as Fogg's mom was. The only thing said about that was a tired reply for her not to forget where her house was.
Fogg's PoV
Once we got to the club and had paid our way in, we went off in our own directions. Hiei and I went straight to the dance floor, since our song was just starting, and we began to rave dance. Riki went over to the bar with Kam, Botan, and Rinny, and Yukina and Kurama both headed their own ways on the dance floor.
We had barely been there more then half an hour when we saw Yuusuke, one hand on Keiko's hip, the other holding a beer. Walking over to them, Hiei and I kept dancing while talking about how great this club was. They didn't ID on entry, didn't care about how old you were while drinking, and the bouncers were only there in case there was a fight.
The DJ came back to the stand and said that they were going to play some rap, which sent me and Hiei off to the bar for awhile, since we both hate rap, but it brought Kam, Botan, and Riki all to the floor. Kura and Rinny were both already at the bar, and were talking about some movie they had both seen recently. Since I hadn't seen it yet, I stayed out of the conversation and instead talked with Keiko and Hiei about this new club some more. Hiei and I also filled Keiko in on our day at the park.
Riki's PoV
While I was dancing, my arms around Yukina, to some the song "Sing For the Moment" by Eminem, I noticed some kid about my age, with pants like mine, only more chains and bondage straps on them. I blinked some, and before I could really understand what was happening, he was surrounded by a crowd of guys, obviously drunk, and was fighting them off. Letting go of Yukina, I walked over slowly and stood outside the circle, in case this guy needed some help. Kam was running over next to me and looking at what was going on as well.
"What happened?" He asked me at last, while we watched this kid pound some guys head in with one hand, while drinking a beer with the other.
"I'm not sure, the kid was standing there, minding his own business and drinking, when the other four just crowded up on him." I grinned, watching this guy kick another in the stomach, felling him right away, while still punching the hell out of the first guy.
Fogg ran up to us then, and we noticed the music had stopped and the bouncers were trying to get through the crowds. Not wanting to be more a problem, we stepped aside just as the people in front of us cleared a path, and I got to see the four other guys all lying unconscious on the floor. But the kid with the beer who had knocked them out was gone. Weird.
We walked back to the rest of the group, and told them what had happened. Botan checked her watch, and said that we should get home anyways, it was almost midnight. Agreeing, mostly so we could go find the kid, more then go home, we headed out. Everything was pretty confusing, so we just slipped outside and waited, before Fogg suddenly pointed. Glancing over, I saw a cigarette light, and that kid was smoking it. We walked over to him and he tensed, but kept pretty cool.
"Lookin' for some of what I just gave those guys in there?" He asked us lowly, pulling the smoke from his mouth. I smirked some.
"Hell no man. That was some serious ass kicking you did. We more wanted to congrat ya." I glanced at the others, and they all nodded, then Fogg stepped forward.
"Name's Fogg, and these guys are my friends. We're more or less a gang really." She pointed to each of us, and introduced us in turn.
The kid stepped forward a bit, into the streetlight, and I got a good look at him. He had black hair, his bangs covered his right eye, and stretched all the way down to his upper chest. They were dipped in a blood red dye. The bangs on the other side of his face were a bit more reserved and pulled back, revealing his left eye. He had on a pair of baggy black jeans, sort of like mine, but with way more chains and bondage straps, plus uncountable pockets. His shirt was a tight, black, t-shirt, with a turtleneck style neck.
He nodded, and looked at each of us in turn, before speaking. "My name's Kusari." Was all he said, before turning and walking away.
"Hey, wanna chill with us for the night? We were gonna go to the mall and steal some stuff." Fogg said, making up plans on the spot.
He turned and looked back, then shook his head "I'll pass, gotta go for now. But maybe I'll see you around." With that he turned a corner and walked off.
"Wow... quiet kid." Botan said, after a moment. I nodded, slipping my arm around Yukina's waist.
"Well, let's head back to Botan's place, and go to the mall, since Fogg just made plans for us." Kam said, taking Botan's hand and walking off. I followed behind him with Yukina, and Hiei and Fogg walked after them, Hiei with his hands in his pockets and his head down, Fogg walking slowly, but with large steps, thinking. Rinny and Kurama were behind them, having a quiet discussion about something.
Kam's PoV
As Botan got into her van, I glanced back at everyone else. The seating arrangement was pretty much the same as every other trip so far, except now it was a bit more crowded. Right behind me was Fogg, next to her was Hiei, behind him was Kura, with Rinny on his lap, and next to them was Yukina, and Riki was behind Fogg. I popped in my Trust Company CD and turned it up, while every kept talking about the new guy and stuff. I smiled, setting my hand on Botan's arm, while she drove down the highway to the huge mall about twenty miles away. The place was open all night, which was good, since it was almost midnight by now.
Once we got there, we all headed off our own ways. Fogg, Yukina, Rinny, and Botan all went straight to the clothing store part of the building, saying they'd meet us at the food court in two hours. I headed to the paintball store, while Hiei went to the incense shop, Riki walked off to the tattoo shop, and Kura headed towards the home and garden part of the mall.
After browsing around for a new gun, and instead buying another case of about 100 paintballs, I walked towards the computer store. I looked around in there for a while, bough a new headset for my online games, then walked to the gaming store. I bought a new game for my brother, planning to give it to him next time I owed him something, and headed back to the food court, since two hours was almost up.
"Hey Kam! Guess what I bought!" Botan ran over to me, and began to show me the new cloths she bought, while we waited for the rest of the guys to show up.
"Guys, we might wanna get going son. Not only is it almost two AM, but well... mall sec. is probably after me." Fogg smiled guiltily, as Hiei, Riki, and Kura walked up, all from different directions. Rolling my eyes, I shrugged some, ready to go anyways.
"Hey, how about we all spend the night at Kam's since we're all going over there in the morning anyways." Rinny asked. We all nodded, and I said that I could kick my brother out of his room, so that someone could use his bed, someone could use the bed in the spare room, someone could sleep on the floor in each of those places, and then the rest of them could use the living room, since that had a fold-out couch that turned into a bed, plus plenty of floor-space.
After we got back to my place and decided that the girls would sleep in the living room, Hiei would get my brother's room, Riki would get the spare room, and Kurama would sleep on the floor in the spare room, we all headed to bed, and got ready for the next day.
Corri: Ok, you can thank a snow day for this. It took me from about 9:30 in the morning until about noon to write this, so it never would have been done if I had school. Anyways, yeah. Review, and I'll update. Later .
Corri: Yea! New chapter time! Ok.. time to spoil all my surprises for all you readers. First, I'm adding another new char, but only for this chapter (So far, gotta ask Joe about adding him in more).

I smiled at myself, then pulled my hair back into a loose bun, and walked downstairs to grab my sneakers and purse. Hiei was already there, wearing a baggy black t-shirt with the words 'It's only funny until someone gets hurt . . . then it's hilarious.' on it, underneath his favorite black hoody, which was also about three sizes too big. He had on black jeans that were, like everything else he owned, too big for him, and there was a flaming skull patch on the side of them, over the pocket.
"Ready?" I asked him, walking to the door. He nodded and walked behind me, slouching and looking like a thug. I smiled to myself and though that if any cops saw us, they'd probably think he was going to jump me.
Riki's PoV
I looked up from my bed and saw my sister standing in my doorway. "What?" I asked, pulling on my socks the rest of the way.
"Where you going tonight?" She looked at me with her big innocent green eyes, and a small smile on her face.
"Out." I pulled on my tight grey t-shirt that showed every bit of muscle I had and grabbed the chains off my bedside table, hooking them onto my jeans in various places.
"Can I come?" She smiled more, and her eyes looked almost too hopeful to be true.
"No, this is a grown-up place." I stood up, grabbing my sneakers and putting them on, walking to the living room.
"You're not a grown-up yet, Riki!" She shouted at me, accusingly. I sighed and rolled up my shirtsleeve, letting my tattoo, that mom didn't know about yet, show.
"I know, but I'm close enough to be able to get into grown-up places." I grabbed my wallet, putting it into the back pocket of my jeans, and threw my coat over my shoulder.
"Hey. You promised to take me to the park tomorrow if I didn't tell mom about your tattoo, remember?" She changed the subject, seeing that black death symbol I had let the guy print onto my bicep.
"How could I forget?" I muttered, "I'll take you tomorrow when I wake-up, unless it's after five, then I can't because I have to take Yukina to the dance."
"YEA!" Guess that was good enough for her. I sighed as she skipped off into her room and walked outside and down the street to Fogg's place.
Kam's PoV
I stepped out of the shower and grabbed a towel. Walking down the hall to my room, I glanced around, feeling like I did that morning, only this time my brother was awake and had his friend over, so they were playing video games in his room, not bothering me.
Closing and locking my door, I sat down at my computer and booted the thing up, then turned and grabbed my cloths. I was going to wear my cammo pants with a black long sleeve t-shirt rolled up to my biceps, with a white beater, the 'wind' kanji printer in red on the back, over top of that. Plain socks and sneakers. Perfect outfit for me. I finished dressing, and sat back down at my computer, since I had about a half-hour before I had to go to Fogg's place.
I had just signed on to AIM, when someone IMed me, and asked where I was in school that day. Checking my list I had taped next to the computer, I saw it was Allison, some girl in my global history class. I said I was sick, and she left me alone. Foolish at times, even if she was top-of-the-class. I opened my music player, and clicked on my playlist, letting the 100 or so songs start to play. I glanced around, then smiled to myself and checked Yahoo, seeing Fogg on, I messaged her, just to be annoying.
(Corri: Ok, this is an IM convo, so yeah. Necromancer is Kam, and LittleThief is Fogg, also, for later, Riki is BlackDeath, Yukina is FrozeCrystal, Hiei is DragonFlame, Botan is SoulTaker, Kurama is Kitsu- chan, Rinny is SilentPrayer, Yuusuke is BadassPunk1076, Keiko is School- Girl43, and Kuwabara is IL0v3K1tT3nZ. Don't ask about Kuwabara's --0 It translates to IloveKittens, by the way.)
Necromancer: Boo!
Necromancer: HA HA HA! Scared you!
LittleThief: Not really, jackass.
LittleThief: I knew you'd IM me, and annoy me.
Necromancer: Oh well. Lol, Allison msged me on AIM and asked why I wasn't in school. Stupid little girl.
LittleThief: Hah! I'm not on AIM yet, and I don't plan to be. I thought I'd get online while I waited for all of you to get your lazy asses over here.
Necromancer: You still got the DeadAIM file I sent you?
LittleThief: Yeah
Necromancer: Good. When they get over, hop on with them all, ok?
LittleThief: Why bother? You'll be coming over soon too.
Necromancer: Oh yeah. Nvm then
LittleThief: Moron
LittleThief: hey, Yukina and Hiei are here, gotta go.
LittleTheif has signed offline.
I sighed some, closing down the convo and signing off as well, then stood up as my comp shut-down, and walked to my door, unlocking it and walking out. I stopped to tell my mom I'd be gone till pretty late, but had my key, and grabbed my wallet, putting it on my side-pocket, where it was zipped off so no one could get in.
Kurama's PoV
I was the last one to arrive at Fogg's house. I smiled some and nodded to her mom as she let me in, then went into her bedroom with the others. They guys were all talking about Riki's new tattoo, so I joined them. I don't know what the girls were talking about, and I don't really care.
I leaned against the wall, wearing my tan khakis and a red muscle shirt, and looked around. Fogg lived in a pretty shabby apartment, not in the real good part of town, but it was all her and her mom could afford. Her dad had walked out of them about three years ago, and she never mentioned him. Anyways, I realized my outfit was a bit tamer then the other guys', but it didn't bother me. I was a bit tamer then the other guys, after all.
Fogg had on her favorite blue jeans, the ones she had stolen from the boy's department in the local clothing store, and then had sewn patches on. She had a silver pentagram patch, an eightball patch, a patch that said 'fire' with the symbol for fire above it, and a skull and crossbones patch. Her shirt was really different, and I guessed it was new, or revised. It was made of sweatshirt material, but the sleeves only went down to her elbow. The shirt itself was the same shade of blue as her pants, but on the front she had drawn with red paint a pentagram with the words "Blessed be" underneath it, and on the back was an inverted pentagram with the words "Satan power!" underneath it. Also, she had on a black bucket hat with the Earth, Air, Water, and Fire symbols patched onto it, along with the pentagram and a crescent moon. I chuckled at her creative flare and went back to looking at Riki's tattoo. I heard Rinny say something about black Vans, and figured that was what Fogg was wearing.
"So, we all ready to go get hammered, blow some cash, and dance?" Fogg asked, grabbing her wallet from her purse and stuffing some money she stole from her mom into it. We all nodded in unison and headed out, waving goodbye to Mrs. Space on the way, while Fogg said we were going to the club. I wish my mom was as lenient as Fogg's mom was. The only thing said about that was a tired reply for her not to forget where her house was.
Fogg's PoV
Once we got to the club and had paid our way in, we went off in our own directions. Hiei and I went straight to the dance floor, since our song was just starting, and we began to rave dance. Riki went over to the bar with Kam, Botan, and Rinny, and Yukina and Kurama both headed their own ways on the dance floor.
We had barely been there more then half an hour when we saw Yuusuke, one hand on Keiko's hip, the other holding a beer. Walking over to them, Hiei and I kept dancing while talking about how great this club was. They didn't ID on entry, didn't care about how old you were while drinking, and the bouncers were only there in case there was a fight.
The DJ came back to the stand and said that they were going to play some rap, which sent me and Hiei off to the bar for awhile, since we both hate rap, but it brought Kam, Botan, and Riki all to the floor. Kura and Rinny were both already at the bar, and were talking about some movie they had both seen recently. Since I hadn't seen it yet, I stayed out of the conversation and instead talked with Keiko and Hiei about this new club some more. Hiei and I also filled Keiko in on our day at the park.
Riki's PoV
While I was dancing, my arms around Yukina, to some the song "Sing For the Moment" by Eminem, I noticed some kid about my age, with pants like mine, only more chains and bondage straps on them. I blinked some, and before I could really understand what was happening, he was surrounded by a crowd of guys, obviously drunk, and was fighting them off. Letting go of Yukina, I walked over slowly and stood outside the circle, in case this guy needed some help. Kam was running over next to me and looking at what was going on as well.
"What happened?" He asked me at last, while we watched this kid pound some guys head in with one hand, while drinking a beer with the other.
"I'm not sure, the kid was standing there, minding his own business and drinking, when the other four just crowded up on him." I grinned, watching this guy kick another in the stomach, felling him right away, while still punching the hell out of the first guy.
Fogg ran up to us then, and we noticed the music had stopped and the bouncers were trying to get through the crowds. Not wanting to be more a problem, we stepped aside just as the people in front of us cleared a path, and I got to see the four other guys all lying unconscious on the floor. But the kid with the beer who had knocked them out was gone. Weird.
We walked back to the rest of the group, and told them what had happened. Botan checked her watch, and said that we should get home anyways, it was almost midnight. Agreeing, mostly so we could go find the kid, more then go home, we headed out. Everything was pretty confusing, so we just slipped outside and waited, before Fogg suddenly pointed. Glancing over, I saw a cigarette light, and that kid was smoking it. We walked over to him and he tensed, but kept pretty cool.
"Lookin' for some of what I just gave those guys in there?" He asked us lowly, pulling the smoke from his mouth. I smirked some.
"Hell no man. That was some serious ass kicking you did. We more wanted to congrat ya." I glanced at the others, and they all nodded, then Fogg stepped forward.
"Name's Fogg, and these guys are my friends. We're more or less a gang really." She pointed to each of us, and introduced us in turn.
The kid stepped forward a bit, into the streetlight, and I got a good look at him. He had black hair, his bangs covered his right eye, and stretched all the way down to his upper chest. They were dipped in a blood red dye. The bangs on the other side of his face were a bit more reserved and pulled back, revealing his left eye. He had on a pair of baggy black jeans, sort of like mine, but with way more chains and bondage straps, plus uncountable pockets. His shirt was a tight, black, t-shirt, with a turtleneck style neck.
He nodded, and looked at each of us in turn, before speaking. "My name's Kusari." Was all he said, before turning and walking away.
"Hey, wanna chill with us for the night? We were gonna go to the mall and steal some stuff." Fogg said, making up plans on the spot.
He turned and looked back, then shook his head "I'll pass, gotta go for now. But maybe I'll see you around." With that he turned a corner and walked off.
"Wow... quiet kid." Botan said, after a moment. I nodded, slipping my arm around Yukina's waist.
"Well, let's head back to Botan's place, and go to the mall, since Fogg just made plans for us." Kam said, taking Botan's hand and walking off. I followed behind him with Yukina, and Hiei and Fogg walked after them, Hiei with his hands in his pockets and his head down, Fogg walking slowly, but with large steps, thinking. Rinny and Kurama were behind them, having a quiet discussion about something.
Kam's PoV
As Botan got into her van, I glanced back at everyone else. The seating arrangement was pretty much the same as every other trip so far, except now it was a bit more crowded. Right behind me was Fogg, next to her was Hiei, behind him was Kura, with Rinny on his lap, and next to them was Yukina, and Riki was behind Fogg. I popped in my Trust Company CD and turned it up, while every kept talking about the new guy and stuff. I smiled, setting my hand on Botan's arm, while she drove down the highway to the huge mall about twenty miles away. The place was open all night, which was good, since it was almost midnight by now.
Once we got there, we all headed off our own ways. Fogg, Yukina, Rinny, and Botan all went straight to the clothing store part of the building, saying they'd meet us at the food court in two hours. I headed to the paintball store, while Hiei went to the incense shop, Riki walked off to the tattoo shop, and Kura headed towards the home and garden part of the mall.
After browsing around for a new gun, and instead buying another case of about 100 paintballs, I walked towards the computer store. I looked around in there for a while, bough a new headset for my online games, then walked to the gaming store. I bought a new game for my brother, planning to give it to him next time I owed him something, and headed back to the food court, since two hours was almost up.
"Hey Kam! Guess what I bought!" Botan ran over to me, and began to show me the new cloths she bought, while we waited for the rest of the guys to show up.
"Guys, we might wanna get going son. Not only is it almost two AM, but well... mall sec. is probably after me." Fogg smiled guiltily, as Hiei, Riki, and Kura walked up, all from different directions. Rolling my eyes, I shrugged some, ready to go anyways.
"Hey, how about we all spend the night at Kam's since we're all going over there in the morning anyways." Rinny asked. We all nodded, and I said that I could kick my brother out of his room, so that someone could use his bed, someone could use the bed in the spare room, someone could sleep on the floor in each of those places, and then the rest of them could use the living room, since that had a fold-out couch that turned into a bed, plus plenty of floor-space.
After we got back to my place and decided that the girls would sleep in the living room, Hiei would get my brother's room, Riki would get the spare room, and Kurama would sleep on the floor in the spare room, we all headed to bed, and got ready for the next day.
Corri: Ok, you can thank a snow day for this. It took me from about 9:30 in the morning until about noon to write this, so it never would have been done if I had school. Anyways, yeah. Review, and I'll update. Later .
