MARS and VENUS
Threats
Disclaimer: I do not own MARS even though I wish. I do own Crystal Sung so no one can use her without my permission!
Author Note: Hey! It's me LilChicaMichelle! Umm... not sure if you liked the first one, but maybe the second one will be better! Well enjoy reading it! Also an oboe basically looks like a clarinet but smaller and the reed (mouth piece) is different. The oboe reed looks like a very small straw.
Sense Kira was not here yet Rei sat in her chair with his chest leaning on the backrest of the chair and stared at what Crystal was studying. Crystal at this point was chewing on her eraser.
Rei then said quietly, "What ya' looking at?"
Crystal didn't bother to look up and continued to stare at her book, "Music for my oboe."
Rei blinked a bit confused and asked, "Did you say elbow?"
Crystal groaned a bit as she said, "I get that same corny joke when I say that every time!"
He stared bluntly at Crystal and responded, "But I was being serious though... did you say elbow?"
Crystal sighed as she answered, "No. I said oboe. It's a classical instrument that you play in band."
Rei then asked out of curiosity, "What does it sound like?"
Crystal looked up at Rei and said, "Do you seriously want to know what it sounds like?" Rei nodded as she continued, "All right. Let's just put it this way... quack."
Rei blinked a bit at Crystal making sure she was being serious. For a few seconds they just stared at each. Then Rei could see that Crystal was being totally serious. At that moment he couldn't help but burst out into laughter and fall out of the chair holding his stomach.
Crystal glared at him as she said, "Hey! You're making it very tempting to kick your face right now! I don't even have to get up either!"
Rei sat up in his chair still laughing as he said, "I couldn't help it."
Crystal shook her head and for a few more seconds there was silence as she concentrated on her book. She continued to chew on her pencil's eraser. She began to grow tired of it and slammed the book and placed it in her backpack.
Crystal looked up to Rei and asked, "So how was the basketball game yesterday?"
Rei leaned back on Kira's desk and said with a bit of confidence in his voice, "Oh nothing surprising. Me and Tatsu kicked ass and got money. I was even able to double up some money for Kira." At the topic of Kira he remembered what had happen yesterday in the Art Studio and Crystal saw how his expression change so quickly.
Crystal then asked, "Is there something bothering you?"
Rei sat up again and looked around the classroom for caution as he leaned toward Crystal more and said, "After I played basketball I went up to the Art Studio to give Kira the money and her pink tie... thing..."
"Scrunchie you mean?"
"Whatever that thing was! Anyways, I go up to the Art Studio and Mr. Yoshioka was... well..."
Crystal's eyes widen a bit as she said, "Eww... eww that is just like you trying to have sex with me."
Rei stood up and said in a joking offensive way, "So what you trying to say?"
Crystal leaned back in her chair and responded, "You heard me! Your mojo is just not up to my level of fun!"
Tatsuya and Kira were standing next to Rei and Crystal as this argument when Crystal had said, "Eww...eww that is just like you trying to have sex with me." There face totally sick on how the topic was sounding like. Rei and Crystal looked to the two and felt several other pair of eyes staring at them. But Tatsuya's and Kira's face was the most disgusted one and also the most disappointed one also.
Crystal then whispered, "I think I shouldn't have said anything like that here."
Rei then whispered back a bit sarcastic, "Go figure."
Crystal then said, "Hey, don't have that attitude! You could've stopped to but you played along!"
Then you could hear the whole class go in an up roar. Crystal and Rei were asked so many questions. They tried to tell them that they never did anything like that but so it seemed to be impossible to believe because of Rei's reputation.
One of Harumi's friend ran out of the classroom and over to where Harumi was talking outside in the front. Harumi looked to her friend a bit confused about what was going on until she told Harumi what was going on, and of course stretched the truth a bit.
In front of the school, mostly everyone that was outside of the building could hear Harumi yell out, "What! You mean Crystal is going out with Rei! And they all ready did it?"
One of Harumi's friend said, "I knew that bitch was lying!"
Another one of her friends then asked, "What are you going to do about it Harumi?"
Harumi's fist tightened so tight you could see her knuckled turn white, and her whole body was tightened and her voice was stiff as she said, "We are going to find a weak spot in Crystal and that's through her heart and use it against her."
Harumi's friend snickered a bit as they asked, "Like what?"
Harumi said at first, "I'll find something... and I'll make sure it strikes her hard. I'll blackmail her and make sure she stays away from Rei."
During lunch you could see Crystal walking over to the Music Studio and walk in quietly by herself. She opened one of the lockers and pulled out a case. She then opened the case and placed a double reed in her mouth and began to put together the oboe.
Something mood in the shadows and Crystal saw it but she pretended it to be nothing. She continued to prepare herself to play her oboe, placing the music on the stand, and waited bit so that her reed was soaked. Then she felt a breeze past by her gracefully across her cheek. Crystal turned around to see what it was but saw nothing, so she shrugged it off a bit and smiled as she sat back a bit more. Then the shadow slowly started to walk toward to Crystal.
Crystal then said, "Rei, you failed at trying to scare me."
Rei then said in a bit of disappointment, "Aww... you are no fun."
Crystal rolled her eyes a bit as she took the reed out of her mouth and into the top of the oboe as Rei asked, "So that's what a oboe looks like."
Crystal nodded as he poked at it and said, "Can I call it the Quack Mobile?"
Crystal shrugged and said, "I could care less. I'm here to play, if you want to listen go for it. But it's not exactly your type of music."
Rei said, "I'll just stay here and listen to it. I want to really make sure it sounds like a duck."
Crystal then played a small music piece that was called "Joyant Winds" and even the title should give it away. Her fingers quickly press down on the buttons as the sound of the music was happy and perky. Crystal seemed to enjoy herself, but Rei was having a hard time not falling asleep. Crystal finished the song quickly and waited a few seconds for Rei to say something, but she noticed Rei wasn't going to say anything.
Crystal then asked, "Did it bore you that bad?"
Rei thought for a moment then looked at Crystal with this look that said, "Hell yeah!"
Crystal laughed a bit and said, "All right, get out of here. I'm meet you out there but let me put up all this stuff."
Rei ran out of the Band Studio happily as Crystal put everything back in place. She slammed the locker close and quickly ran out of the Band Studio to follow Rei. Outside were Tatsuya and Kira waiting for the two.
Crystal then said in front of the door, "So you were waiting for me?"
Tatsuya responded, "Not for long really. We kind of heard what your oboe sounds like and it sounds..."
Rei finished the sentence, "Like a duck!"
Tatsuya glared at Rei as he finished his own sentence, "...very nice."
Crystal laughed a bit more as she said, "Don't have to lie about it. Well, let's go eat!"
Everyone started walking towards the classroom where they would be eating. Harumi was all ready in the band room and slowly made way toward the locker which Crystal had slammed the locker. Harumi gleamed with joy seeing that she forgot to lock it up and so she was easily able to take the oboe out of the locker. Then she quickly left the Band Studio without being notice.
Crystal was standing next to Kira and looked down a bit at her. Then she noticed she was carrying a portfolio that had several of her drawings. Crystal noticed that a drawing was about to fall out.
Crystal pointed at the paper almost falling as she said, "Hey Kira, one of your pictures are falling out."
Kira looked to the paper and said in her quiet voice, "Oh... thanks."
Crystal smiled and said, "No problem! How long have you been drawing?"
Kira shrugged and said, "Ever sense I was a kid."
Crystal smiled and said, "You must really love to draw. That's something really cool. I can't draw anything even if my life depended on it."
Rei turned to Crystal and Kira and said, "Me and Tatsuya are going to the basketball court for a few seconds. We'll meet you in the classroom."
Kira's heart jumped as she thought, "You're... leaving me with... her?"
Crystal shrugged and said, "All right! We'll see you up there than."
The two guys had split up and walked up to the classroom. Crystal would always try to bring up a light conversation every once in awhile but Kira would always end the conversation with a blunt answer. So Crystal gradually gave up trying to bring up a conversation.
Right before they arrived to the classroom Harumi and her little gang, which grew a bit bigger now, had stepped in front of them and Harumi asked, "Hey Crystal, can we talk?"
Crystal glared at Harumi and her friends but she knew that she whispered to Kira that she should go into the class. She knew she couldn't run out of this one because it would ruin her pride and her own reputation so she looked at Kira and hinted her to go inside the class.
Crystal then told said in her cheerful tone, "Sure. You..." she pointed to one of the girls in the group, "still owe me my Rainbow Sherbert."
Harumi walked next to Crystal giving her a fake innocent face as they walked out of the building. Crystal noticed that they weren't walking to the Ice Cream stand but she knew that they weren't going to get ice cream. Then they stopped behind the Fine Arts building and Harumi turned around and leaned against the wall and her face changed from fake innocent into pissed off.
Harumi then said in a threatening voice, "Told you it wasn't over."
Crystal then said, "And I told you, I don't like Rei..."
Harumi then yelled, "Bull shit! I heard the rumors! They are all over school! They said you were going out with Rei and all ready did it!"
Crystal sighed and she thought to herself, "Damn not only do they go around fast, but they really stretch out the truth."
Crystal then said, "God damn it! Look I am not going out with Rei, and second I would never have sex with him, and third I am not going to fight over Rei! It's pointless!"
Harumi lit her matcher several times as Crystal explained but she said, "Didn't anyone tell you that telling lies isn't going to get you anywhere but into more trouble? Give it to me."
One of Harumi's friends tossed a black case that Crystal knew very well. It was her oboe case...
Rei walked into the classroom and noticed only Kira was there so he asked her, "Hey, where did Crystal go?"
Kira told him, "Harumi and her friends wanted to talk to her..."
Rei shook his head and said, "Stupid Harumi, won't she ever give in? Crystal is just going to kick her ass over and over again."
Tatsuya glared at Rei as he asked a bit mad, "How can you be so sure of Crystal? Just because you guys are best friends, doesn't mean that she can't change."
Rei looked surprised at Tatsuya and asked, "What's up with you?"
Tatsuya looked to the ground then said, "Nothing."
Back to the Crystal and Harumi, Crystal shook her head and said, "Now we are trying to get my weakness? Well sorry to spoil your plan, but you do notice my oboe is insured. So even if you burn it and break it, I get another oboe."
Harumi bit her lip trying to hide in her anger as Crystal turned away and started walking to class, but she couldn't hold it in as she yelled out, "It's not fair! Why does Rei look at you and that stupid slow Kira?" Crystal stopped in her tracks as Harumi continued to scream, "I've been waiting so long for him! It's not fair! It should be my turn to have him! You just wait! I'll get you and Kira!"
Crystal turned around and said in a cruel whisper, "You do anything to Kira you notice that not only will I be not a happy camper, but you also notice that Rei is going to be mad. No one likes Rei mad."
Crystal then turned around and continued to walk off and Harumi glared at Crystal with hatred. Harumi threw the oboe case down and broke the case, but not the oboe itself.
Harumi then threaten Crystal in her mind as she thought, "It's not over yet Crystal Sung. I'll get both you and Kira. I'll get you both!"
Crystal walked into the classroom and said, "Hey guys!"
Tatsuya quickly got up and walked over to Crystal concerned and asked her, "Are you ok? Are you hurt?"
Tatsuya picked up her arm and brought the sleeve up and there were several bruises along her arm. Tatsuya's face grimaced as he stared at the bruises totally shock that any human person could actually created these.
Crystal quickly took her arm away and said, "I'm fine."
Rei also saw the bruises and asked, "Where did you get them from?"
Crystal didn't say anything but Tatsuya responded, "I swear I'll get Harumi and her little friends back!"
Crystal then said, "Harumi didn't make them. It was an accident at my house."
Rei then said in a concern voice, "Crystal how did..."
Crystal glared at Rei and said, "Just drop it damn it."
Kira's face looked a little surprised by Crystal's reaction. And inside Kira had this feeling that those bruises weren't created by an "accident". Kira had started play with the end of her hair and started to feel a bit uncomfortable. The rest of the day seemed to have some evil cloud hanging over everyone that made everyone stay quiet with each other.
