Chapter five

Still Learnin'

Amaya sat in Rei's car as she drove back to the warehouse that whose known as 'the club' by all the members of the chains. Rei pulled into the parking lot, got out of the car, and knocked on the heavy wooden door.

"Name?" A voice said from the other side of the doorway.

"Rei and Amaya." Rei answered, and the door opened. The two girls stepped inside and Rei turned to the guard.

"Do you know where Chris is? She's getting her tattoo." The guard nodded and pointed down a hall.

"I just saw him go that way."

"Thanks." Rei said, and grabbed Amaya's arm, leading her down the hall.

"Who is this Chris guy anyway?" She asked.

"He's the tattoo artist in our gang." She replied. "Speak of the devil there he is. Chris!"

The boy stopped, and turned around, grinning when he saw Rei. He was about twenty with blonde hair and blue eyes. He walked over to where the two girls stood.

"Hey, you Amaya?" He asked, looking at the raven haired beauty. She nodded.

"Ya. Why?" She asked. Chris broke into a wide grin.

"Yami just told me that your getting your tattoo. Congratulations, your a black chain."

"Alright!" Amaya exclaimed. It was a good thing that she passed the test in the first place, but to come out with the highest 'marks' and having the hardest teacher felt pretty damn good. She turned to Rei.

"Kiss that bitch." She said, and smirked. "Now I get to boss you around." Rei said nothing, but promptly flipped her the bird, causing Chris to chuckle.

"Alright." He said, pulling up a chair and getting the tattoo equipment ready. "Get over here." Amaya took off her coat and sat down on the chair. Chris pulled the left side of her shoulder down and began working on the tattoo.

"Ow! Fuck that hurts!" She said, wincing in pain as the needle continued to pierce her soft skin. Rei chuckled.

"Oh, the mighty black chain is a wuss." Rei teased, Amaya glared playfully at her.

"Fuck you." She said, and then winced again as the needle reentered her skin again.

"Holy fuck! How long is this going to take?" She asked, her eyes clearly showing that she wanted it to be fast.

"Don't worry" Chris said. "I'm a fast worker." Amaya flinched again.

"You had better be." She grumbled. Twenty minutes later the tattoo was finished, and she stood up, her holding her very sore shoulder.

"My shoulder hurts so much I can't even move it!" She whined. Rei rolled her eyes.

"Stop being such a wuss."

"You try getting a needle pierced into your flesh about a zillion times and see how you like it." Amaya retorted, wincing as she put her coat on.

"I have." Rei said, pulling down her sleeve to reveal a tattoo of a skull with a red chain around it, almost identical to the one that was now imprinted on her skin. "See?"

"Oh ya." Amaya said, looking -and feeling- pretty stupid. Just then her phone rang, she reached into her coat pocket and answered it.

"Hello?" She asked, silently wondering who the sam hell it was.

"Amaya, I want you to come to my office." The voice said. She recognized it immediately as Yami's. She would recognize that smooth flowing voice anywhere.

"Uh.... Ok." She said, and hung up. "That was Yami, he wants me to meet him in his office." She said, answering the puzzled looks on the two teens faces.

"Don't worry." Rei said. "I already know what it's about."

"What is it then?" Amaya asked, a slightly puzzled expression in her delicate face.

"You'll be getting some weapons and stuff like that." She replied. "Yami provides all that stuff to us, he's actually pretty wealthy." Amaya nodded.

"Cool. Anyway I gotta go." And with that walked down the hall, vaguely remembering her way to his office. After about five minutes of wandering she came to stop in front of his door. She took a breath and knocked on it.

"If I'm expecting, you don't have to knock." His voice said from the other side of the door. She opened it and stepped inside.

"So what did you want?" She asked, trying to keep the nervousness out of her voice, earning a small chuckle from Yami.

"I know that given the circumstances, you have every right to be nervous around me." He said, and Amaya felt herself relaxing a little more. "But I assure I mean you now harm."

"Ya about earlier, sorry for that kick in the face." She said, again that mysterious smile crept onto his lips.

"Actually." He said, his voice smooth ad comforting, but holding a bit of amusement in it. "I rather enjoyed the challenge." Amaya returned the smile.

"You have a very strong full nelson." She said, suddenly very relaxed around him.

"And I must say, for a women, you have an particularly strong punch." Amaya burst out laughing, not quite knowing the reason for it, but knowing that it felt right. After her laughter died down. he rose to his feet.

"Now, the reason I asked you here." He said. "Is that I wanted to give you some things." He went over to his closet and handed a small, flat device that was round with a black button in the middle.

"What is it?" She asked, examining the tiny gadget.

"It's an emergency button." He explained. "If your ever in extreme danger, press it and it will tell me your location and situation instantly. So make sure you don't lose it." Amaya nodded.

"Don't loose the little red button, got it." She said, as he pulled out a black handgun.

"Here, take this also, the pockets of your coat should be big enough that you can wear it without it being detected." He also handed her a pair of boots. Amaya looked then over.

"What are these for?" She asked.

"There are Swiss knives strapped to them." He answered. She looked down and saw the gleam of a metal blade. "To release them, slam down hard on your heel, the button is hidden there."

She nodded again.

"Right." She said looking up, and straight into his endless light purple eyes. There gaze stayed there for a moment, before Amaya broke away, again unable to take the intensity in his eyes. "Anything else?"

He shook his head.

"Only one thing." He said.

"Shoot." Amaya said, and Yami looked at her again.

"What is your name?" Amaya felt a small blush rising on her cheeks. She had an unusual name and was always a bit nervous giving it out, she never knew how people would react.

"Amaya." She said, feeling a little nervous, but not quite knowing the source of it. She felt as if she had to impress him, win his approval. She shrugged it off as what she was like with her mother, always trying to prove to her that she wasn't just some fucked up teen off the street.

"That's a beautiful name." He replied, and Amaya breathed out (she hadn't noticed she'd been holding it.)

"Thanks." She replied, brushing and particularly annoying strand of hair from her face.

"Anyways, I'll you again another time Amaya." She nodded and walked out of the room, the faint, almost unnoticeable blush on her cheeks. She kept walking, not really paying much attention to where she was going, and ran smack into something -more pacifically, someone-.

She landed on her butt with a satisfying thump. Rubbing her offended backside she glared up at the person that that knocked into her -Well, more like she had knock into, but she wasn't in the mood for details.-

"Hey!" She said, getting to her feet. "Watch where the hell your going."

"Ha, if you weren't so clumsy you would be able to see someone coming form around the corner." He retorted. He was tall, and looked to be about twenty-two with dark brown hair and navy eyes. He was clad in a black shirt with a chain hanging from his neck and black pants. On his hands were dark gloves and a white cape trailed out gracefully behind him. (A/N: Yes! It's Kaiba! Bet you couldn't figure that one out!) She glared daggers and the arrogant man in front of her.

"Ya, well, maybe if your ego wasn't completely blocking out your vision you could well enough to get that stick out of your ass." Without waiting for a response from the clearly enraged Kaiba, she walked around him and was on her not-so-merry down the hall, muttering a few colorful curses under her breath.

She walked around for nearly ten minutes before she realized that she had no clue as where in the hell she was going.

"Great." She muttered, checking her watch. It read 12:30 am. "Fuckin' great." She wandered around aimlessly for another ten minutes before coming to the conclusion that she was, indeed, hopelessly lost. She leaned against the wall and felt something hard on her side, Her cell phone! She dug into her pocket and pulled the tiny black device. She flipped it open, and began looking through the numbers that were programmed on it. She stopped at Rei's and pushed dial. It rang about two times before Rei's voice on the other end.

"Hello?"

"Hi Rei, it's me." Amaya said, already feeling stupid.

"What's taking you so damn long?" Rei's slightly irritated voice asked. Amaya took a deep breath.

"I'm lost." She said, she heard Rei's laughter on the other end and rolled her eyes.

"Where are you?" Amaya looked around.

"In the warehouse." She answered stupidly, not having the slightest clue where in the hell she was. Rei burst into laughter again.

"A little more descriptive." Amaya looked around.

"Well, there's and intersection over that way, and then a staircase, and some crated filled with god knows what and-"She was cut off by Rei's voice once again.

"Alright." She said, sounding highly amused. "I know where you are, hang on." And with that the phone went dead. She waited for another five minutes before she heard footsteps coming her way, and Rei walked around the corner.

"Come on you." She said, looking rather amused at Amaya's misfortune. "And try to not to get lost on the way out.

"Ha ha ha." Amaya said sarcastically, but all the same followed her new found friend to the car.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The black car skidded to a halt and Amaya hopped out, telling Rei to meet her again tomorrow night. She was secretly wondering how she was going to make it through the nest day without falling asleep in math class (Which she hated.) And plus there was Demi to worry about.

Her stomach gave a guilty sort of squirm at the thought. Demi, her best friend that she had straight out lied to. They never lied to each other, and here she was keeping the fact that she was now involved with a gang from her. Sighing she climbed the gate and pulled herself onto the bar that ran across the top, making sure to be as quite as possible so that her dog wouldn't start barking it's head off.

She climbed soundlessly onto the roof and in through her window, without bothering to undress, she collapsed onto the soft mattress of her queen sized bed.

A/N:

Well, there it is, and I even added in Kaiba, just because I like the guy! And don't anyone worry about Demi, you'll be seeing a lot of her in later chapters, I just have to get through some stuff first. And yes, I probably will be putting some of the other characters from the show in my fic as well, but I just have to get to that point. Also, if you like this story you should check my new Inuyasha one 'Closed Hearts.' (Shameless self promo.) Anyways, as always please review!
