Notes: Hey! Sorry this has taken so long! I've been really busy with school and stuff. Enjoy, and I promise the fifth chapter won't take so long. This is a repost. WhildfireFriendship brought a few things to my attention. I really need to start referencing back to my own fic chapters.

Chapter Four: School

Ryo waited for Anubis outside of his grandmother's house. He was dressed in baggy black jeans and shirt. All of this piercings were in. He had two in his lip, one in his tongue, one in his left eyebrow, three in his left ear and four in his right, with both nipple piercings in. His hair was messy, and falling in many directions, bangs falling over his eyes.

Anubis walked out of the house, bag over his shoulders. He only had two piercings, and those were in. One eyebrow and one lip ring (which was new), and the ones in his ears. He was in a pair of blue baggy jeans, and a black shirt. He dropped Ryo's bag into his lap. "Let's go," he said. Ryo rolled his eyes, standing. He slung the strap onto his shoulder. "We're meeting everyone else up at the corner." Anubis said.

"Whatever," Ryo said. He and Anubis were around the same height, although you couldn't tell it because Ryo usually slouched. "I'm not ready for school yet," He commented.

"I'm not either," Anubis agreed. "I shoulda told grandma I hurt myself falling out of the bed this morning."

Ryo shook his head. "If you had done that she would have taken you to get x-rays to make sure nothing was damaged."

They walked up to the corner where Sekhmet, Dais, Rowen, Cye, and Kento were waiting. Rowen looked ready to fall asleep where he was standing. Sekhmet was standing with his arm around Dais, his head resting on his shoulder. "Not ready for school?" Anubis asked when they got up to the corner.

"No," Everyone muttered sleepily at once. Ryo shook his head and glanced at Anubis.

Sekhmet finally opened his eyes, and noticed Ryo's attire, and his piercings. He counted them all before speaking. "I thought you said you had eleven piercings," Sekhmet said.

"I do." Ryo said. He lifted up his shirt, showing him his two nipple piercings. He waited a few seconds before putting it back down.

"Where are Kale and Sage?" Anubis asked.

"Odds are Sage is ready to go and Kale is rushing around the house getting ready," Cye said.

"He's almost as impossible to wake as Rowen is," Kento added, suppressing a yawn.

"I can agree with the whole sleeping thing," Anubis said, leaning against a street sign, shutting his eyes.

They waited for a few more minutes until Kale and Sage showed up. "Sorry we're late," Kale said, panting.

"It took him forty fives minutes just too finally roll out of bed," Sage stated, glaring at Kale.

"Hey, I never said you had to wait for me!" Kale said in his defense.

Sage stared at him. "'Sage! Wait for me! I'll just be a few minutes!'" He said, using his brother's exact words. "You said that six times!"

"And you listened!" Kale retorted.

"Every time I tried to leave you stopped me!" Sage stated.

"I did no such thing..." Kale said. He looked and saw Ryo and Anubis. "Whoa. Awesome piercings," He said to Ryo.

"Thank," Ryo muttered.

Kale then turned to Anubis. "I didn't know you had any piercings."

"Well, I do, I just don't like to keep them in," Anubis said.

"Can we head to school now?" Dais asked. Everyone nodded and they headed towards the school.

"So what are everyone's classes like?" Cye asked.

"Easy stuff," Kale answered, finishing for his schedule in his pocket. "It's mostly electives."

"Same here," Anubis said. "Lucky me, I get to start the day with auto shop."

"You're not awake enough to operate any kind of machinery," Ryo commented.

"I know," Anubis whined.

Ryo shook his head. "I've got gym, auto shop, AP chemistry--"

"Don't blow anything up," Anubis interrupted. Ryo smacked him.

"You blow things up?" Rowen asked.

"Not on purpose...most of the time," Ryo said.

"And the rest of the time?" Kento asked.

"I set them on fire on purpose," Ryo said. He reached into his pocket and pulled out three lighters, and five packets of matches. "I'm a pyro," He added, shoving them back into his pocket.

Anubis laughed. "How'd you get those pass grandma?"

"She only checked my bag," Ryo said.

Anubis shook his head. "Just don't set any bushes on fire...again."

Ryo gave him a sinister grin. "I'd never do such thing."

"Liar," Anubis said.

"You two are the oddest set of brothers ever," Kale commented.

"From what my grandma told me yesterday, you have no room to talk," Anubis stated.

"I am perfectly normal," Kale said.

"Yeah, your normal, and I'm really female," Anubis countered. Ryo chuckled softly next to him.

"Kale, don't get into arguments already," Sage said, smacking his brother.

"I wasn't arguing," Kale stated.

"Kale, don't push it. I'm not in the mood to put up with your crap this early in the day," Sage said, glaring.

"Someone's PMSing!" Kento teased.

"Am not!" Sage whirled around to his friend. Everyone laughed. Sage glared again, crossing his arms over his chest. Ryo shook his head, and put his headphones on, Alkaline Trio perturbing from the ear pieces.

Sitting in their second hour, Kale and Anubis listened to the teacher drone on with the lesson. Occasionally, Kale would steal glances at Anubis, who would be messing with his hair at times. Kale could never have his hair that long. He tried once, then went to have to cut off. It bothered him too much.

Eventually, the teacher finished his rant, and gave the homework assignment to work on. Everyone started it, some understanding what to do, others not. Kale was one of those people who didn't now what he was doing.

"Anubis, what did you get for number thirteen?" Kale asked.

"Were you paying attention?"

"Kinda...it's hard though."

"It's not that hard!"

"The assignment may not be, but listening to the teacher drone on is." Kale stated.

Anubis thought about it for a moment. "Okay, I'll give you that," he said, handing Kale his notes.

"I ask what you got for the answer, not to see your notes," Kale said jokingly.

"Too bad, do your own work," Anubis retorted. Kale stuck his tongue out at Anubis before going to work.

"Man! I'm so hungry!" Kento whined. They were on their way to the cafeteria for lunch.

"You always say that, Kento," Cye muttered.

"But it's true!" Kento said. His stomach agreed by rumbling. "I'm gonna go wait in line," he stated, running towards the large lunch line.

Cye sighed, pulling his bag back onto his shoulder. He turned around, hearing loud music behind him. He saw Ryo walking towards him. "Hey," he said as Ryo approached.

The taller Japanese boy nodded his hello. "Have you seen Anubis yet?" Ryo asked.

"He's sitting at a table. The one outside under over by the oak tree."

"Thanks. Why are you still waiting here?"

"I'm waiting for everyone else."

"Alright, see ya outside." Ryo walked off. He walked out the giant double doors and into the sunlight. He looked around, and saw his brother and everyone else sitting under the oak tree Cye had been talking about. He started walking towards them.

Anubis sat at the table with Kale, Dais, and Sekhmet. He was currently messing around with his lip ring with his tongue, which was driving Kale crazy. Anubis wasn't doing it to mess around with Kale, but because he didn't wear it as much as he use to, whenever he put it in, it annoyed the hell out of him.

He looked up when Ryo walked over to the table and sat down. "Did you get your keys?" he asked.

"Yes, during my second hour, along with the note," Ryo answered.

"Alright, because I did too," Anubis said, still messing with his lip ring.

"Why don't you just take that out and let the hole close?" Dais asked.

"I would, but I like it too much," Anubis stated.

"Anubis, did your note say anything about Kadoca?" Ryo asked.

"Yeah. He's home now," Anubis said.

"Question," Kale interrupted. "Whois Kadoca?"

Ryo and Anubis glanced at each other. "A pet," Anubis muttered.

"Really? What kind?" Sekhmet inquired.

"A dog," Ryo stated.

"Cool. Can we see them after school?" Sekhmet asked.

The twins glanced at each other again. "Sure," They both said in unison.
