Notes: Uhm...yeah. Long time, no see, ne? o.x Sorry about the long wait... See, I would have updated sooner but my damn computer crashed(yeah, my sister went to turn it on, left the room, and I look up to find that it was all screwy. So we restarted the comp. After that, we were unable to get into the comp. It just get saying something was wrong...) And my mom wont let us have the other computer due to grades...Grr...Anyway...I'm going to start tying at the library now. ;.; it means not doing some of the things I usually do online, but that's okay, I guess. X.o We only get two hours a day on the library comps... So I figure I can get chapters for two or three fics done. If I try. O.x Okay. Review replies...and...yeah. I'm sorry Bluum, but I wont be typing anything for IB...ever...;.; I can't.

Bluumberry- I know, I know. Everyone was wanting to see more of IB but it wouldn't be good for me to continue. It's too much work and it was plagiarism. I realized that and decided to get rid of it before I got myself into trouble or something. ;.; Really sorry. If it helps at all, I'll tell you what my plan was and everything.

See, in the book, Sirius(Kai) and Bruce(Bruto) go with the other "Hallo Dogs" and run with the Cold hounds. They find the master of the Cold hounds and he has the Zoi. While they're running with the Cold hounds, Kathleen(Rei) and the other two (Max and Tyson) join them and get pulled along by the dogs. So, the master has the Zoi. It ends up with Rei and both Tyson and Kai are wanting it (Tyson thinks it's the meteor and Kai knows it's the Zoi) At some point, Kai (Oops, I mean Sirius) gets the Zoi and is returned to his real self (all human-ish with cool wings) and his dog body is left behind (dead) In the BOOK, Kathleen's really upset about Sirius dying and doesn't really care at first that Sirius is himself now... This is where I was really going to turn the story around . Kai was going to explain to Rei what happened, Chief was going to ask Kai whether he wanted to return to his place and be with his spheres or stay on Earth and take care of them from there. Kai would have asked Rei to be his Companion and Rei would have had to decide whether he was better off with his Uncle and Lin or if he would rather be with Kai. Yeah...And then there probably would have been some sort of sappy "I love you-I love you, too" scene, Rei would join Kai as his Companion, they'd visit Max and Tyson occasionally, yadda-yadda. X.x In the book, Kai returns to his spheres and Rei stays back with the little puppy that...I think Max was promised.... Oh! Btw, the master of the dogs said each of the kids could have one thing, I think. "Tyson" wanted "The meteor", I think "Rei" wanted to be able to understand "Kai"...I think...and "Max" wanted one of the puppies from one of the Master's dogs. .- Yeah. Okay. I just wrote a really, really long review reply. I'm going to try and decide what fic this Chapter is for now... That was an easy decision XD

Devlinn- Glad you're liking it! I originally wrote this chapter to be about half a page long...but I don't think that's any good. So I'm editing and adding on now. O.x This is going to be hard...

"So, he's not going to turn around and start telling people things about you?" Tyson asked Rei in a whisper while they waited to get off the bus. Tala had gotten lucky and was already waiting outside.

Rei sighed. "Look, you guys. Even if I don't know if I'll ever really trust him, I'm willing to forgive him and give him another chance. He used to be my best friend and I've never had a better one. Not that there's anything wrong with you two." Rei said, finally starting down the bus steps.

When Tyson tripped on the steps, bumping Rei and causing the other boy to stumble, Tala caught Rei around the waist with his good arm, releasing him once he was steady again. "Don't fall." Tala said, raising an eyebrow at Rei.

"I'll try." Rei replied, shoving Tala aside. "Thanks, by the way."

Halfway to the doors leading into the commons, Tala placed a hand on Rei's shoulder. "No problem, by the way."

"Ha, ha. Hey. Look, Tala. It's your friends."

"No, really?" Tala glanced at the clock above one of the common doors. "Oh, too bad. Time to go to English." Tala smirked, slipping past his "friends" and starting up the stairs as the bell rang. "Hey, Rei?"

Rei was watching Tala with a raised eyebrow. "What?" He asked.

"Snyder only gives us a minute, remember?" With that, Tala hurried up the steps.

"Damnit! See you guys at lunch! Later!" Rei ran up the steps in an attempt to catch Tala as Tyson and Max turned to each other.

"They are-"

"Yeah. They'll be together before we're a week into summer. You think it'll last, though?" Max asked, looking back at the stairs.

"If it happens, yeah. Because, if it happens, then Tala really didn't know what he was doing everything for and he really never -did- hate Rei. Come on." Tyson started off down the long hall to the Gym and locker rooms with Max following.

"Rei, you are almost late. I suggest you get here a bit faster next time." Mr. Snyder said, eyeing Rei. Rei smiled apologetically before sitting down in his seat.

Mr. Snyder shuffled through his papers for a moment before looking up when someone cleared their throat. The girl at the desk next to Rei's was raising her hand. "Yes, Ms. Smith?" Mr. Snyder was eyeing her now.

"Mr. Snyder, didn't you say we'd be changing seats for the remainder of the year?" The girl asked, lowering her arm.

"I did. And we will be." Mr. Snyder responded, drawing out an overhead sheet and setting in on the overhead before turning it on. "Two minutes to find your seats. Hurry up." With that, the teacher stepped out of the room.

Sighing, Rei looked up at the overhead in search of his name on the seating chart.

"Don't bother." Tala said from his position standing beside Rei.

"Why?" Rei asked, looking up at him.

"He didn't move you." Tala answered, smirking as he sat down in the seat that the girl had been in a moment before.

"Looks like someone wanted revenge on me..." Rei said, raising an eyebrow at Tala.

"Must be for the last time you were late." Tala agreed. "Isn't it funny how teachers seem to -know- who hates who?" Tala asked.

"Yeah." Rei nodded, glancing at the door as Mr. Snyder entered. "Please leave me alone." Rei told Tala, glaring at him.

Tala smirked. "My pleasure."

Mr. Snyder seemed pleased with himself as he surveyed the room and took in the looks of annoyance on the faces of his students. "Now. Let us begin."

"Ass." Tala murmured.

Rei managed to hold in his chuckle as Mr. Snyder began to pass out their work.

"You think he's married to Ms. Corder?" Tala whispered, watching Rei out of the corner of his eye.

"Or just related..." Rei muttered.

"Is something wrong, Tala? Mr. Kon isn't pestering you, now is he?" Mr. Snyder asked, coming to a stop beside Tala's desk.

"Unfortunately, no." Tala responded.

"Ah. Unfortunate indeed. Very well. Please get to work." Mr. Snyder gave Tala his paper before moving on.

"Notice that he calls you be name...Maybe he wants to have an affair, Tala..."

Tala shuddered. "Hell, no. I hope he's married..." Tala responded.

Rei smiled. For once, he had someone in this class who he could talk to freely. Despite the fact that Rei had many friends, he hadn't been lucky enough to end up in his English class with any of them. Until now. Finally, someone who shared his hatred for Snyder...None of his other friends had Mr. Snyder, seeing as he taught the higher classes. Luckily, none of Rei's other teachers were this bad...

"Rei?"

"Tala."

"Pencil?"

"Right." Rei found one of his spare pencils and handed it to Tala. "Lucky he hasn't mentioned the projects..."

"Shh. Don't remind me."

"Now, about the projects..." Mr. Snyder began.

Someone said that Middle School and Junior High are the same thing. Forgot to reply to that up top. .- Around here (My part of Washington) it's not. Elementary is 1-6, Middle School is 6-7 (Some 6th are at the Elementary, some at the middle school.) Junior High is 8-9, and High School is 10-12. O.o I'm going to try and find the map of my school so I can scan it and show it to you guys. Give you a better idea of how I'm imagining their school.

. That was short. But fun, I guess. O.o Yeah. I HIGHLY doubt they'd be taking English in Japan...But hey, what the hell. What do you want me to say? . Humm...anyway...Can't think of anything important that she needed to say. OH! Where the hell as everyone run off too? It's summer, isn't it? O.x You all on vacation or just being update-lazy? ;.; I miss reading people's stuff...

And I can't believe I missed Wolf's Rain last night...BAD Swiffy...BAD...Okay. Uhm...I'm done here.

Anyone who like Wolf's Rain(you'd have to like yaoi, too) might want to read Danbira no Kokuou . Really, really good ToboexTsume fic. It's awesome. Highly recommend it to ToboexTsume fans . Okay. Over and out. Thanks for reading and please review(and maybe update too?...?) Later!
