b Tears Of Betrayal /b
b Chapter Two /bHe drove his fancy black convertible down the dead street. Something was going to happen today and he needed to be at school early. He pulled up in the parking lot slowly stepping out of the car.
"Kai you're here early! Come to torment the new kids with us?" asked his friend Johnny. Him, Tala and Johnny had recently remembered how they were best friends, but not much about the rest of their past. They seemed to have lost their memories from when they were young.
Kai shook his head. "There's someone coming today. I can feel it." He mumbled looking down a little embarrassed.
"Hey Johnny what's that around your neck?" asked Tala curiously.
"I dunno. I just found it and had a sudden urge to wear it. It's kinda ugly but it makes me feel a little more complete. I know it sounds crazy but I've been feeling like something's missing from me. And when I'm with you guys and wear this ugly amulet I feel all the more complete. But something's still missing and it or them is coming today." Johnny said sinking all the while he was talking. It felt so embarrassing to admit this but they were his best friends.
"Hey Johnny? I totally know what you mean. I feel the same way." The other 2 said in unison. They looked at each other strangely.
"And I found an amulet too!" Kai added.
"Me third." Tala said a little solemnly.
"Well let's get to class and see what's new!" said Johnny a little too enthusiastically for him. But all the same the others followed and didn't complain.
"Class we have a new student today! Everyone give a warm welcome to...Tachiro, Ikari!" Mr. Sakamoto announced enthusiastically. "Would you please introduce yourself Ms. Tachiro?" he asked kindly.
"Of course. For starters, never call me Ms. Tachiro because my last name is Mayumi. I refuse to take my stepfathers name. That would be dishonouring my father. Second of all I'm 16 as most of you probably are, I moved here from Shikoku by myself. I have a twin sister, Hikori who is still in Shikoku, she's a model and my older stepbrother Seito is taking over my fathers business. So I am considered useless to my family. Other than that I'm a good kid and I hope to make friends with the best of you." She finished. She was very straightforward and didn't seem to notice that she'd just dissed the teacher and half the class.
"Well...erm...thank you Ms. Mayumi. Uh...please take a seat beside Rei thank you." A boy in the back with long black hair tied up with a white and red trimmed cloth raised his hand smiling cheerfully.
"Hi I'm Rei." He said cheerily.
"Congratulations you know you're name. I'm Ikari." She said her voice dripping with sarcasm.
"Uh...ya. Well do you want to meet my friends at lunch?" He asked curtly.
"Sure." She said enthusiastically while smiling. I 'Better make a good impression now and screw it all later.' /I She thought hastily
After class it was time for lunch. Rei took her to 'The Table' as most of the kids called it. You see, Rei and his friends were the most popular kids in the school, and there was a fair amount of them too. They were also, all rich and powerful kids.
"Well these are my friends. Over there is Emily, Mariah, Hillary, Michael, Eddy, Steve, Lee, Gary, Bryan and Tyson." The people looked up and waved. "Over there is Robert, Oliver, Ian, Spencer, Kenny, Max, Kevin, Enrique and-"Ikari cut Rei off.
"I know who they are." She said in a monotone voice.
"You know who everyone is?" he asked confused.
"No I know who Johnny, Tala and Kai are but they probably don't remember me. I should go now." She said not even looking at the 3 boys she had just named.
"Oh. Wait! Where are you going? How do you know Johnny, Kai and Tala?" Rei asked curiously.
"None of your business cat-boy." She hissed.
Rei looked taken aback. "Hey don't talk to Rei like that who do you think you are?" Shouted Johnny angrily.
"I don't have to think about who I am... unlike you." She stated as an after thought.
"What do you mean?" he asked now curious to know about what she had to say.
"You know what I mean, all three of you. You don't remember who you are. I do, but you don't." and so she left them stumped with her remark.
"Hey you guys who was that?" asked Tyson through a mouthful of chicken.
"The new girl in my class. Her name's Mayumi-Tachiro, Ikari." Rei said confused.
"Why Mayumi-Tachiro?" asked Hillary quizzically.
"Because her stepfathers last name is Tachiro and her real father's last name is Mayumi. I'm not exactly sure whether her real dad is dead or not though." Rei answered a little absent-minded. "Better not get onto that topic though. She doesn't seem to be too enthralled on the topic of her parents." He added softly.
"Who does she think she is?" Tala shot out of the blue. "We've never seen her in our entire lives and yet she seems to know us by heart." He sounded pissed.
"Let it go, I'm sure it's nothing." Kai said monotonely.
"Personally, I don't care." Said Johnny loudly. "She's just a nobody." He stated proudly. "Unlike us, we're all champion bladers."
"Actually, her stepfather is one of the richest men in all of Japan and her sister's a model." Rei said dampening Johnny's-oh-so-proud look.
"Fine then, be that way." Johnny 'hmphed' and slouched in his chair defeated.
