Thanks to the Reviewers
Brennend: The way I am, is that if it's AU stories like this, where there is no armor or anything, I usually change the character's personality along with what they were and what school social group they're in. shrugs It's just how I am.
Jiyu Hatell Kodai: Thanks for telling me! I usually miss stupid little petty stuff like that. But I catch all the major stuff that would get people confused.
Ena: Glad you like. I'm not really sure what's going to happen in this fic. This is one fic where I don't have it all planed out like with most of my other chapter fics.
WildfireFriendship: Be happy! WhiteBlaze makes his appearance in this chapter.
evilchild2: Ryo speaks both English and Japanese; he just doesn't like people, with the exception of his family.
Zorra: Glad you like. Sorry it's taken this long to update. I go through writing spurts.
Shinigumi: I'm glad you like it. The only reason I have Ryo as the quiet on is because in the show, even though he's not quiet like Sage, he's actually really secretive, or at least he seemed that way to me.
Az-Strawberry: I'm glad you like it.
Chapter Three: The Party
Sage sat in one of the black lawn chairs by the pool. Cye and Rowen were currently wrestling in the pool, and Rowen was winning. Kento was currently over at the food table, filling his plate. Sekhmet and Dais were both lounging by Sage, while Kale was at the edge of the pool, with only his feet in the water.
"So, Kale, is your lover boy as hot in person as he is in picture?" Kento asked when he walked over to the group.
Kale blushed, but answered anyway. "He's hotter in person."
"So, is he gay?" Dais asked.
"Well, he is, but he just admitted it to himself before getting here, so I doubt he'll be looking for a boyfriend," Kale answered.
"That sucks, but at least you have a chance," Cye commented, leaning on the stone around the pool, next to Kale.
"I guess, although I wish he had admitted he was gay at least a year ago, then I'd have a better chance," Kale muttered.
"A better chance with what?" Someone asked.
Kale glanced up and saw a shirtless Anubis. "Um...nothing," Kale said. He stared at Anubis' well toned, muscled, and tanned chest before looking away, blushing slightly. From their spot, Sekhmet and Dais were laughing, and Cye was chuckling to himself.
"Right," Anubis said. He rolled out his towel and laid down on it, pulling his sunglasses on.
"Comfy?" Ryo asked, walking up to his brother in all black.
"No, I think I'm laying on a rock," Anubis answered.
"Then move," Ryo muttered.
"Too lazy," Anubis said.
"Well, since Kale is going to be rude," Sekhmet muttered, "I'm Sekhmet, and this is my boyfriend Dais," He said, pointing to Dais.
"I'm Rowen."
"'ello. I'm Cye."
"The names Kento," Kento said through a mouth full of rice.
"Anubis, and this is Ryo," Anubis introduced, pointing up at Ryo.
Ryo raised his pierced eyebrow at Kento, "That is disgusting," Ryo said to him.
"Please, if you can get 'im to stop, then by all means, go a'ead," Cye said.
"Where are you from?" Anubis asked, raising his sunglasses to look at Cye. "You sound either British or Australian."
"I'm British," Cye told him. Anubis nodded and glanced at Ryo with a smirk.
Ryo glared at him. "Kutabare1," He muttered.
"No, thank you. Wait until you have a boyfriend, if you can even find someone who can put up with you," Anubis said to him, putting his sunglasses back down. Ryo glared at him again, and kicked him. Anubis blocked Ryo's foot, grabbed it, and pulled. Ryo fell onto the ground, landing flat on his butt. "Don't mess with me, Ryo, you never do win," Anubis said.
"'cept for last time we sparred," Ryo said, pulling his foot from Anubis' grasp.
"Damn, you two are like Sage and Kale," Dais commented.
"They're nothing like us," Sage said. "Neither one of them is annoying like Kale."
Kale glared at his younger brother. "That's it, you're going in," He said, standing.
Sage's visible eye widened. "What!"
"You heard me," Kale said. When Sage tried to get away, Kale grabbed him and took him to the deeper side of the pool.
"Kale! Put me down!" Sage ordered.
"If you insist," Kale said with false sweetness, and threw Sage into the pool. Sage came up sputtering, his hair covering both eyes. Sage moved his hair from one of his eyes. Everyone was laughing except for Ryo, who rolled his eyes.
Anubis glanced at Ryo, and started to stand. "I'm giving you your warning right now," Ryo started, "Throw me in the pool, and I'll castrate you with your numchucks, then send Whiteblaze after your." Anubis looked at his brother, and sat back down. "Good dog..." Ryo said.
Anubis glared at him through the sunglasses. "Speaking of Whiteblaze..." Anubis got off his towel and ran over to his grandmother. After a few minutes, Anubis went back over to the ground. "Go get Whiteblaze." Anubis ordered.
"You go get him, you lazy ass," Ryo said.
"I would, but he doesn't like me," Anubis said.
Ryo sighed, "Whatever 'Nubis." Ryo got off the ground and left the slightly crowded backyard. Anubis sat back down on his towel, stomach side down, resting his head on his arms.
"Is Whiteblaze your dog?" Rowen asked.
Anubis looked at him over the top of his sunglasses, "Something like that," Anubis said.
Minutes later, Ryo came through the large group and gaping people, a large white tiger next to him. Everyone except Anubis stared with wide eyes. Ryo went over to them and sat back down, and the tiger laid down behind him, and started chewing on the beef roast he had. Ryo pressed up against the tiger's chest, and started reading William Shakespeare: The Complete Works.
"You're reading him again?" Anubis asked.
"Yes, I am," Ryo answered.
"Um...I don't mean to sound rude, but why the hell do you have a tiger!" Sekhmet asked.
"He's my pet," Ryo said.
"Yes! Was right!" Kale exclaimed. "In your face, Sekhmet!"
"Shut up," Sekhmet muttered.
Ryo looked up from his book, and stared at Kale. "How did you know about WhiteBlaze?"
"Your grandmother showed us a picture of you two and the cat," Kale said.
"Yup, that sounds like grandma," Anubis commented.
The whole time Kento had been staring at Whiteblaze and the way he ate. "Okay, when I do that, it's disgusting, but the cat does it, and its not?" He questioned.
"It's normal for him," Ryo muttered, not looking up fro his book. "You, however, are a person and shouldn't stuff your face, or talk with your mouth full."
"Are you implying that the cat is more sophisticated then me?" Kento asked.
"Implying? I thought I down right said it," Ryo retorted.
"Ryo, shut up and read your book," Anubis said.
"Make me..." Ryo trailed off before adding with a smirk, "...fag..."
Anubis glared at his younger brother. "Fuck off."
"After you..." Ryo replied.
"Yup, just like Sage and Kale," Dais stated.
"'cept I'm not the one going in the pool," Ryo stated.
"I'm not either!" Anubis retorted.
"Says you," Ryo commented. When Anubis got up to grab him, Ryo kicked one of his feet. While Anubis was off balance, Ryo used his foot to push him over. In the fall, Anubis knocked into Kale, who nearly fell into the water. Kale grabbed Anubis, trying not to fall in. When he did, it startled Anubis, who knocked into Kale again. Kale got knocked off balance enough to where he fell into the pool, pulling Anubis in with him.
"Shit!" They both shouted before falling into the water. Anubis came up sputtering, Kale following right behind him. Anubis' hair was now clinging to his face and bare shoulders. Kale's hair was covering both of he's eyes, and clinging to his neck.
"Why did you pull me in!" Anubis asked Kale.
"You pushed me in!" Kale exclaimed.
"That's only because he pushed me in!" Anubis retorted, pointing at Ryo.
"Then I say we go after him!" Kale suggested.
"Fine!" Anubis got out of the water. However, in the process, Ryo shoved him back in, and Anubis fell onto Kale, and both ended up back under water.
"I must say, this is very entertaining," Cye stated.
"I'd have to agree with you there," Sage agreed. Ryo went over to where everyone was sitting, Whiteblaze following behind him. "Is he dangerous?" Sage asked.
"If he was dangerous, I wouldn't have brought him here," Ryo stated. "You can pet him. He won't bite unless I tell him to."
"That's not very comforting," Rowen said.
"I don't offer comfort," Ryo told him.
"Well, I'm not touching him," Kento said. "He might try and eat me!"
"Well, considering you act like a pig, that wouldn't surprise me," Ryo said.
"So, did your piercings hurt?" Rowen asked.
"Only the nipple piercing," Ryo said. "The eyebrow, ears, and tongue were no problem."
"How many piercings do you have?" Sekhmet asked.
"Eleven. I don't have all the ear piercings in though," Ryo explained.
"And your parents let you do that?" Sage asked.
"They don't care. It's not like they're ever home long enough to notice me or Anubis anyway," Ryo stated, scratching behind Whiteblaze's ear when the cat rubbed against his leg. Feeling brave, and no longer scared by the playful cat, Sage reached a hand out and petted along Whiteblaze's back. The large cat purred loudly. "I told you he was harmless," Ryo commented.
"No, you said he wouldn't bite unless you told him to bite us," Sage stated.
"Are you tape recording everything I say?" Ryo questioned. Sage shook his head.
"Right, come on, Cye, I'm hungry," Kento said. "Let's go grab something to eat." He grabbed Cye and pulled him from the chair.
"You're always hungry, Kento," Cye commented, allowing himself to be pulled.
"Are they together?" Anubis asked, drying his hair with his towel.
"No, but we're working on that," Dais said, looking back at Cye and Kento.
"They'd be perfect complements of each other," Ryo said. "They're perfect opposites of each other, so they need someone opposite of them to complete them."
"Are you sure you won't be a marriage consular when your older?" Anubis teased.
"I'm sure. Once I find someone for you, I'll have no one to help," Ryo commented.
"Well, we know Cye is bi, but we're not sure about Kento," Sekhmet said.
"He's gay, guys. We know this. Kento just won't admit it," Rowen stated.
"Why are we even analyzing this?" Sage asked.
"Gives us something to do," Kale answered.
Sage rolled his eyes. "That's no reason to do it."
"I think you just don't want the discussion to turn to your sexual orientation," Ryo said.
"That's not it. I'm perfectly comfortable with the fact that I'm gay," Sage stated. "I just think it's wrong to talk about a friend behind their back."
"Well, when we want a moral factor involved, we'll ask you," Ryo stated, causing a few of the people around him to snort with laughter.
"Fine, and when we want the psychotic factor, we'll ask you," Sage retorted.
"Then I'll be happy to give my opinion," Ryo commented. Sage glared at him.
"Well that bit you in the ass, Sage," Kale commented.
"Shut up, Kale," Sage muttered.
"Right," Rowen looked around him and noticed people were starting to leave. "Well, I'm heading home. I'll see you all tomorrow." He said, standing and leaving.
"I guess I'll be heading home too," Sekhmet said.
"I'll go with you," Dais said. Both of them left together.
"I'm sure Cye and Kento will be leaving too. They have to work tomorrow," Sage said.
"Well, we better be going too," Anubis said. Nodding, Ryo got up and left with Anubis and Whiteblaze. "See ya tomorrow!" Anubis said, waving to them.
