New fic, since the other one I hated... this is a Ivan/Sheba fic with other couples, but not as much as the other couple. Since not many are out and every fic I read with him in he's made fun of for being small, so... I thought this would be a fun idea! This is a very short story, hopefully only about 3-4 chapters.

Secrets sometimes unfold

"In the background... I'm in the background..." There was a knock on the door and Ivan muted himself from singing.

"Who is it!?"

"It's Garet and hurry up with your shower!" Just as Garet turned he heard the singing voice again. He turned to the door again. "Hey Ivan, ya know who's singing!?"

"No idea!"

"Okay!" And with that Garet merrily walked off.

"Hey Ma!?" Isaac yelled. "Where's my shirt?!"

"It's outside drying, I just washed it!" Dora yelled back. "But I think it's dry by now!"

"Kay!" He walked out of his room and knocked on another. "Mia?" There was only silence. He opened the door.

"Isaac!?" Mia turned around blushing like mad, her cerulean hair down to her back because of it not being in a ponytail and dripping wet, across holding a towel across the front of her body.

"I... uh... I...um...hoo-boy..." Footsteps could be heard but Isaac took no notice. Dora looked over his shoulder.

"My... well, Isaac... when's the wedding?"

"WHAT!?"

"There's a girl standing naked in front of you, with only a towel, and I told you not to have pre-marital sex when we were talking about her coming into this house didn't I?"

"Yeah but... I didn't..."

"I don't care, now when is it?"

"Would you two kindly step outside for a moment, and then I'll talk to Isaac!" Mia then shut the door on their faces.

"Oh!" Dora sighed. "I guess you haven't picked a date and that's what she wanted to talk to you about!"

"Mommmmmmmmm..." 'I am so dead...'

It was a very hot day, the sun out and there was little breeze but that didn't bother Ivan. He smiled and looked at his book. He found a tree to sit in a walked up to it.

Ivan placed himself on the tree and happily read his book. Sheba walked up to him and grinned. She took a glance at the golden letters of the book and her eyes opened wide. 'Why's Ivan reading about singing?'

She hid behind a bush and peered through it watching Ivan closely anticipating as if it meant her life. (A/N: I don't even think that made sense... but try to understand it at least... she's like... thinking this will be quite good, or something) He opened his mouth a musically said some notes.

"I saw you go faster in the morning comes, she walks away like a lady, it's always the fallen ones, I think they're always gonna save me..." He voiced melodic. He turned pages in the book. "Ah... I see, the 'me' would have to be in D minor... okay, I'll right that down." He wrote it down next to his written lyrics and returned to his singing as Sheba watched in amazement.

"He... can sing?" She muttered. "Not just sing but.... really really well." She just sat there and listened to his lyrics. At times he would mess up and Sheba would try to suppress her laughter. She smiled at how hard he concentrated on his singing and really admired it to, especially the parts where he went pretty high pitched, just like Garet when Jenna had kneed him where...well, as Isaac put it, 'Where the sun don't shine...' She giggled at the amusing thought, and noticed Ivan not singing. She looked at the tree he was sitting on and saw him staring right at her, or... the bush. 'Oh... shit...' She thought. She quickly ran from the bush to Jenna's house.

"Isaac!" Mia yelled. "Haven't you ever heard of knocking before!?"

"I'm sorry, okay!?" He replied aimlessly. "It was silent and I thought something had happened!" He looked into her eyes, which were now full of anger. "I'm sorry that I cared then!" Her eyes softened a little.

"I'm just saying, just remember to knock." She sighed. "I'm sorry for getting all angry at you."

"It's fine... I deserve it... I... never mind." He quietly turned to the door until a vanilla colored hand landed on his shoulder and twisted him around.

"Isaac, you gotta start telling me things, it's not good to keep it all bunched up." She smiled, only making Isaac smile.

"You're right, fine." He leaned in and kissed her. "That explain?"

"That you like kissing?"

"No..."

"Well, do it again, I must find out!"

He did so.

"Again!"

He did so.

"Again!"

"I'm starting to think th..." He was interrupted by Mia's lips being pressed against his. She backed away and smiled and tilted her head to the left side.

"I love you to." Isaac could only smile. Mia placed her head on his shoulder. He felt her hair and warm skin hit his own.

"As much as I like being in this position..." She put her hand on his arm and slid it down his muscles. She gave a very happy face with a huge grin. "...And you without a shirt... I think you should get one on before your mom fi..."

"Isaac!"

"God damn it..." Dora grabbed Isaac's right ear and dragged him out of the room.

"Isaac, I told you not to have pre-marital sex, didn't I!?"

"Today just isn't my day..."

"Is that Dora pulling Isaac, Jenna?" Garet said looking from where they were sitting at his house. Jenna was looking for things she could light on fire while he was watching her.

"Hm?"

"Isaac... Dora... there." He pointed to it.

"Garet, start talking like a human then a primate." She rolled her eyes.

"I was just making it quick."

"Sure, whatever you say Garet." She looked over to Isaac's house and giggled. "It seems your actually right Garet... for once."

"Hey!" Garet said defensively. "What's that supposed to mean!?"

"Nothing." They then heard someone yelling something, it started out low, but then... began to grow. It was Sheba on her merry way, she wanted to tell them something about her day... Jenna sighed and Garet wondered what it was this time, and I, the narrator, wondered why the Hell I was speaking in rhymes.

"You guys!" Sheba yelled between pants, it seemed that the way from the bush was a far distance... I mean, was far away... God damn it! "You guys, I got something to tell you!"

"Evil Martians are taking over Weyward!?" (A/N: Hope I spelt that right.) Garet exclaimed, jumping from his stump. Jenna lit fire to a flower and rolled her eyes.

"Idiot." She whispered under her breath.

"No, it's just that... Ivan can..." She then fainted. Jenna knew it was hot, but didn't know it was that hot... probably the same for Garet to as they were Mars Adepts. She looked over to Garet who was only staring at Sheba.

"Well, come on already!" She said with great impatience. "Are you gonna stare at her forever or are you going to pick her up and bring her in the house!?" Garet looked at Jenna for a second, then hastily picked up Sheba and brought her to Jenna's house.

"...and you will then scrub the dishes, make the table, and if you do it any slower, you'll make dinner...." Dora sighed. Isaac smiled weakly, 'Well... that's not that bad...' He thought. It seemed as if Dora had read his mind. "You will also wear this bandana around your head and these rubber gloves while doing the laundry, and if you are any slower then when sun set hits, I will invite Garet over for dinner and you must have enough to fill his appetite." Isaac's eyes went wide open.

"But mommmmmmm!" Isaac whined.

"Not 'buts' mister, I told you something and you disobeyed it!" She then stomped off before Isaac could say he wasn't even going to have sexual intercourse.

'One of the greatest warriors in the world, and I'm stuck doing these damn chores...' Isaac tied the bandana to his head; unfortunately it was to big and kept covering one eye. He tried fixing it but it didn't work. He sighed and began taking down the now-dry clothes and put on his shirt. He then heard a sound. It was someone... singing. He pushed one of the shirts out of the way and followed to where it was from. He saw the back of someone's blonde hair. He wasn't sure if it was a guy or a girl... but it looked like Sheba... or... 'Ivan?' He thought. 'Nah, no way... but I wanna know who's singing this well.'

"Um... hello?" Isaac asked. "Who are you?" The blonde turned around and frowned at his luck, but then put on a smile. Isaac looked shocked.

"Hi Isaac, it's me... Ivan."

"Mom!" Isaac yelled. "You need to come down here right this instant, you to Mia!" He looked to the staircase and saw two people run quickly down the stairs that they both tripped and fell on each other at the end. Isaac patted the nervous Ivan on the back. "Ivan, please sing for them... I want them to see how good you are."

"Alright..." Ivan whispered under his breath. "I'll try."

"Now, what's this all about?" His mother asked. "What's Ivan doing here?"

"Allow me to introduce Ivan, the singer." Isaac backed away next to Mia, almost touching her hand. She smiled and wrapped it around his.

"Hm... what's a good song... oh, I know!" Ivan cleared his throat and took a deep breath.

"Everything's quiet... since you're not around... and I live in the numbness now in the Background."

Mia's eyes went wide and Dora covered her mouth from screaming. Ivan was truly a great singer... why'd he tell no one until now?

"I do the things we did before.... I walk Haight Street to the store, and they say where's that crazy girl you don't get drunk on red wine and fight no more, I don't see you anymore, since the hospital, the..." He then stopped. He frowned a little and looked embarrassed.

"Ivan?" Mia asked. "Why'd you stop?"

"I can't sing for long in front of people... I forget the words or crack." His voice seemed apologetic. "I'm sorry."

"Don't be... if you ask me, you sang beautifully." Dora said. Isaac looked at her and nudged her. "I mean wonderfully, beautifully is reserved for girl singers right?" She gave a laugh and waited, but then laughed again.

She was the only one laughing.

"Sheba?" Jenna slapped her face lightly. "Hello? Sheba?" Sheba groaned and opened her eyes.

"Hi, Jenna." She said with a smile. "What's up?"

"Oh, I don't know, maybe you can tell us what the Hell you were talking about before you fainted?" She asked angrily. Garet started backing away from the impatient (and growing) Jenna. She crossed her arms and tapped her foot.

"Sorry... what?" Sheba rubbed her eyes and yawned. "What happened anyways?"

"You were going to tell us something, but you fainted... probably from running so much..."

"I... don't remember." Garet just ducked for cover.

"WHAT!?" Jenna roared. "YOU DON'T REMEMBER!?"

"You hear that?" Isaac asked while looking at the stars. Ivan was again sitting in a tree reading about his book on singing. "Ivan?"

"He doesn't hear you...." Mia trailed off as she sat up and looked to Isaac. "Let him read."

"Hold on." Isaac sat up and looked at Ivan, he noticed how concentrated Ivan was at reading and copying, his 'Notes'. He grinned. "Heh... I know why he's so focused on it."

Mia titled her head to the left a little, "Oh?"

"Yep, he's in love." Ivan heard this and became red instantly.

"Are not!"

"You are to Ivan, admit it." Isaac smiled.

"I think Isaac's right Ivan, I think you are." Mia giggled and turned to a thoughtful state. "Hm... well, I'm sure it isn't me." Isaac smiled and nodded. 'Or I'd have to kill him.' He thought.

"I know sure as anything it isn't Jenna." Ivan gulped, that left one person. "So, it's Fehizi!" Mia made a very happy smile face. Isaac fell to the ground, as did Ivan.

"Mia..."

"Hm? What, was I wrong?" Isaac chuckled slightly to her mistake.

"Yeah... well, I think... unless..." He looked to Ivan who had just gotten up too. His eyes went wide and he motioned his hands left to right.

"What!? Yeah, right!" He said sarcastically. "No, it's.... Sheba."

"Knew it." Isaac said triumphantly. He laughed evilly.

"Um... Isaac?" He stopped.

"Be quiet, I'm laughing evilly." He then continued laughing.

After much Hell was given to Sheba, and unfortunately Garet who had done nothing he thought, Jenna on the other hand scolded him and hit him for 'Fearing her' and commented that she was a sweet little girl. Just had a bad temper.

"Bad?" Sheba asked sarcastically. "That's an understatement."

"How can that be?" Garet was wrapping his arm with a bandage. "It wasn't under it." Sheba fell over, then got up and rubbed her head.

"God Garet, why are you such an idiot?"

"Shut up!" Garet finished wrapping his arm and looked at her. "It's a serious problem!"

"I'm sure." She rolled her eyes. "So where'd Jenna go?"

"Well, after she knocked you out from hitting you with a piece of wood so many times..." He trailed off as Sheba stared at him. "Just kidding, she only slapped you a few times and since you weren't feelin' well, you fell unconscious." Sheba nodded. "You mentioned Ivan."

"Hmm... wonder why."

"I hope she doesn't hurt Isaac."

"She won't... after all she does like him." Garet opened his eyes wide.

"She... what...?"

"Oh.... shit." Sheba covered her mouth, only saying one thing. "Nothing."

"Isaac?" Jenna called out walking around his house. She then saw to people, sitting next to each other. 'Who are they?' She thought to herself. "Isaac?" She asked lighter. She walked closer and saw the two closing in on each other and finally, touching each other's lips with their own. She walked a bit closer, and stopped dead. 'No... it couldn't be...' But it was...

It was Isaac and Mia, both kissing under the starry evening. Jenna just stared at the two.

"Cute couple huh?" A voice asked.

"Huh?" Jenna turned around and saw who it was. "Oh, Ivan... hi."

"I'm sorry."

"For what?"

"You know." He replied. He then walked up to the two and began to say something. Jenna walked up to them to hear him talk.

"...And your mom got me in!" Ivan said cheerfully. "Isn't that wonderful?" Isaac smiled.

"Yep, it sure is Ivan, good luck!" Mia nodded.

"What's going on?" Jenna asked.

"Little Ivan here got accepted into M.A.S.T." Mia said as Jenna winced at her voice. Jealousy was starting to grow inside of her.

"I see, so what's this M.A.S.T. thingy?" She sat down next to Isaac and looked to him.

"It's a company, and it's pronounced as 'mast', ya know, like on a sail boat." He answered. Jenna nodded.

"Uh huh... and what does it stand for?"

"I don't know." He replied. Jenna looked to Ivan, who shook his head, and Mia who shook her head too.

"Well, do you know where it is?" Ivan shook his head.

"Okay, two questions have not been answered, last one, why are you going there?"

Isaac, Mia, and Ivan all smiled. "Let me show you." Ivan took a breath.

"Let's see... I must ride at least one more mile until I get to Vale." A purple haired girl said. She looked her compass and clicked her heels against the horse. "Ivan... you're going to embarrass yourself, I must not let you do this."

"I'm hungry."

"You're always hungry."

"So?"

"I'm just saying..." Sheba rubbed her head and walked slowly to Jenna and Felix's house, where smells of wonderful food could be smelled. Garet began drooling, but remembered he was to go to his house, and sadly walked to it. Sheba opened the door and closed it, and fell to the couch next to Felix whom was reading a book.

"Have an exciting day?" Felix asked not taking his eyes off his book.

"Not to say the least." She yawned. "Got hit by your psycho sister a million times just because I forgot something."

"That's Jenna for you."

"Well, wake me up when dinner's ready."

"Will do."

In about five minutes Sheba was asleep and was snoring, Felix smiled and continued reading his book until there was knocking at the door. At first it was soft and then it grew louder. Felix hastily got up and answered it hoping Sheba wouldn't wake. When he opened it he gasped.

"Master Hama?"

"Hello Felix, long time no see." She walked inside and took off her cloak. "Is Ivan here?"

"No, he's with Garet probably, but I've heard he's been with Isaac and Mia... so not sure, I'd try Isaac's house, if he isn't there, try the house behind his, it's Garet's." Felix stuck his thumb outwards pointing in the direction to Garet and Isaac's houses. Hama nodded and turned to the door.

"Thanks, and say hello to the little one for me." She then left. Felix walked to the couch and opened his book. But then someone flung the door open and it slammed against the wall. Felix's shoulders tensed as he winced at the noise of the slam. He turned his head to see his sister Jenna, who seemed dazed. She said nothing and went to the couch and sat down. She didn't blink at all. Felix thought it was best not to say anything and continued reading his book as if nothing had happened.

"Dinner!" Felix and Jenna's mom called. Felix shut his book and nudged Sheba lightly. Her eyes opened and she yawned.

"Dinner?" Felix nodded and walked to the kitchen.

"Smells great, mom." His voice could be heard from the kitchen. A moment later a voice could be heard.

"Felix! Don't touch the food until everyone is here!" There was a then a sound of a slap.

"Ow! Okay, okay, sorry mom..." Sheba smirked as she straightened her hair. She then saw Jenna still starring.

"You okay Jenna?" She seemed to wake from her daze.

"Huh? Oh yeah." She looked at Sheba curiously. "Did you know Ivan could sing?"

"Ivan... sing... oh yeah!" Sheba slapped her head lightly. "That's what I forgot!" Jenna sighed.

"Listen, I need to talk to you after dinner." Jenna stood up and began walking to the kitchen door. "It's urgent." She then disappeared in the steam of the food that was being cooked.

"I wonder what's bothering her." Sheba thought out loud. "Oh, well... it's dinner time!" She then ran to the kitchen. "Oh! It does smell good!"

A moment later, "OW!"

"Don't touch the food until everyone is here!"

"Bye, Ivan!" Isaac yelled. "We'll tell you tomorrow what M.A.S.T. stands for!"

"Okay!" Then he ran up to Garet's house where loud noises were coming from. 'Another fight for food...' He then sighed and continued his run to the house.

Isaac noticed how dark it was getting and walked into his house. He walked into the kitchen and noticed it wasn't Dora who was cooking but it was Mia. "Mia?" He asked. "Why are you cooking?" Mia just pointed to a piece of paper. Isaac read it:

Isaac... and Mia if your there,

Kyle came home early from work so we went out for a night in town. Sorry, I couldn't make dinner for you two... or one. So, Isaac, don't burn the house down with your cooking, or Mia, please make something good for Isaac. Thank you.

Love Mom and Dad

Isaac smiled when he read that his father was home. His dad went across the country selling his top weapons and armor and such. He was quite famous in the warrior business. He looked over to Mia, who was making food very quickly.

"What're you making Mia?" 'Whatever it is, it smells very good' he thought.

"You'll find out soon enough." She took a carrot out and began chopping it furiously with a sharp knife. "Now out of the kitchen."

"But, I want to help." She turned around and pointed the knife at Isaac.

"Out... now."

"Okay, okay." He left the kitchen. When Mia noticed he left, she whispered something under her breath.

"I want to make this as romantic as I can."

There was a knock at the door. Isaac got up and answered it. "Master Hama? What're you doing here?"

"Hello, Isaac... that was a very nice greeting."

"Oh, I'm so sorry, it's just that... I..." He trailed off, scratching the back of his head and noticing he wasn't getting anywhere with words. "Um... well, come in."

"Thank you." She said with a smile.

"So, uh... what brings you here?"

"I'm looking for my brother, is he here?" Isaac frowned and sighed.

"Nah, he left here about ten minutes ago." Isaac replied. "Go to Garet's house."

"I see." She looked disappointed. "Well, thank you." She opened the door and Isaac followed her through.

"Isaac, it's dinner!" Master Hama turned around with surprise.

"Is that Lady Mia?"

"Um... yeah, she's living with us now."

"I see, well... there's a very good future for you two." Isaac blushed. "There'll be two, one boy, one girl... have fun." She smiled and began walking away. Isaac didn't understand, but a thought came to mind.

"Master Hama!" He called out.

"Yes?"

"Be careful, it's a madhouse over there!" Master Hama only walked to the house without giving another thought.

"Smells wonderful... Mia?" The lights were out except for two red candles on the table. At each head of the table were plates filled vegetables. He figured he should wait until Mia showed up. A few seconds later, he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned to his side and saw Mia standing there.

"Hope you enjoy it." She then kissed him and walked to one chair. Isaac went to the other and was about to sit down. "Ahem." He looked at her as she stood there, waiting for something to happen. Finally, something clicked in his head.

"Oh, my... I'm sorry." He walked over to her and pulled her chair out, she sat down and he pushed it in. "Forgot my manners."

"That's all right." She waited for him to sit down. "Well... let's dig in." She smiled and began eating her food. Isaac stared at the food.

"Um... Mia?"

"Yes?"

"Where's the meat?"

"Silly!" She giggled. "I don't cook meat, I'm a vegetarian!" Isaac's eyes went open.

"Vege... vegetarian?"

Knock, knock.

"Hold on!" Garet yelled. "Be right there." Master Hama heard yelling and screaming from inside of the house. He opened the door. "Master Hama? Come in!" She went inside of the house. For some strange reason she looked to the kitchen, and thought she saw a cooked turkey fly across. She blinked twice but said nothing.

"Sorry, but it's dinner time." Garet said amusingly. "We um... well, how to say..."

"Fight for your food?"

"Well... um... it's good practice." He said. "So, what do you need?"

"I need to see my..." She stopped talking when she got hit with a splatter of mashed potatoes. "...brother..."

"Sorry!" A voice came from the kitchen. "I didn't mean for it..." He walked out of the kitchen.

"...to go out of the kitchen..." Ivan trailed off and turned white as a ghost. "Sister?"

She wiped the potatoes from her face, "Brother."

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...!"

"It's... fine... just, show me to the nearest bathroom so I can was this off." Garet pointed down the hallway.

"Down there, then make a right." Hama nodded and walked off. Garet looked at Ivan and held his laughter at how scared Ivan was. "Scared midget." He then went into the kitchen and ducked. "Hey, watch where you throw the broccoli!"

"Is there something wrong with me being a vegetarian?" Mia asked.

"Well, no... I just... never thought you were..."

"I see."

"Well, how'd you fool us?" He looked at his carrots and peas. They didn't look that bad.

"Hm... well, I took all the meat and placed it on Garet's plate, none of you never noticed because he ate so fast, and he was never full." Mia replied. She then ate a carrot. "Listen, if you want me to, I'll cook you something else..." Her voice seemed upset.

"No!" Isaac said. He knew he hurt her feelings. "This is fine." She looked at him curiously. "Seriously, it is!" He began eating the vegetables. 'Well, they're not that good...'

"Oh good!" She smiled broadly, which made Isaac's food seem so much tastier. As long as Mia was happy, so was Isaac.

Later...

"So, what do you want to do now?" He placed his dish in the dish dryer. Mia was sitting on the couch, still exhausted from cooking.

"Well, I have an idea..." He walked over to her and sat next to her.

"Okay, what's that?" Isaac asked.

"How about truth or dare?" Mia asked. "But, there's no truths, only dares." She grinned.

"But, you can't play that with only..." He looked at her, and noticed what she was thinking. "Oh! Count me in!"

"Okay, Isaac, dare or dare?" Isaac sat quietly. "Isaac?"

"Hold on!" He said. "It's very difficult decision!" Mia fell off the couch. "Ok, dare!"

"Alright... I dare you to..."

Black: Well, this took quite some time, and I'm quite proud of it. Now a couple of questions:

How'd you like the idea of Ivan as a singer? Was I too repetitive? Should I just stop and not write anymore? What do you think M.A.S.T. stands for? I think I mentioned too much IsaacXMia for a fic that's supposed to be mostly ShebaXIvan, right?

Next Chapter: Problems With Everyone: On the next chapter, the name and location of M.A.S.T. is well be told. What Jenna needs to tell Sheba will be told. How Mia and Isaac's Dare or Dare turned out. What did Hama need to say to Ivan. All will be answered in the next chapter.

Surprisingly, this is the longest chapter of any story I've ever made for FF.net. I hoped you enjoyed Chapter 1 and will review it to! I will accept compliments, and criticism, only if it is Constructive Criticism.
