..CHAPTER 11/ Trust ..

"Dance practisin' tonight? I guess I'll see you all then!" Hikari waved as she strolled away from the group, into the junior campus.
"Bye Kari! Take care, not that you need it or anything!" Mimi giggled.
"Yeah, that girl can certainly kick ass," Sora smirked.
Yamato, Mimi and Sora gave their farewells as Tai stared bluntly as his thin sister's body disappeared from view then continued walking down the pathway. His eyes dulled in guilt as he let his head drop down and focused kicking a couple of earthy pebbles as they walked on. He missed having a sister to protect, seeing her smile always gave him confidence and warming courage, he missed talking to her, nursing her, being looked up to and not to mention being noticed. She was independent now and didn't need him at all. When TK and Kari had separated he thought that she break down into hysterics, but she was strong and held her head high. But Tai knew…knowing his sister best…that she was keeping all the pain inside.
Then again…he blamed himself that he wasn't there for her…and he accepted his fault for letting his younger sibling down…
Not only that…Mimi still hadn't talked to him ever since what happened two days before. Why did girls have to be so difficult? This time, he was blaming Andrew on it. Though he knew it was partly his fault, he did nothing but deny the truth. Ever since the issue between Andrew and Tai, it caused the dancers to walk to school for the two days in the freezing morning air, which they all loathed. Taichi had promised Yamato that he would try to get to know Drew better…but he never had a decent conversation with him since he would still give him death glares whenever he saw the black-headed guy. In his head, he confirmed that he'd get to know him better by the end of the day.
Next to the brunette, the blond headed Yamato walked by him with a thoughtful grieved expression. He only had gotten about three hours of sleep that night, cause he kept having continuous dreams of what had happened in his childhood. His past was haunting him as well as his other troubles and problems. At least one of his problems was solved. A weak smiled planted on his face as he gazed at the hyped up Sora, a few paces ahead of him, skipping around while talking to Mimi who constantly had to move her head because she kept bouncing here and there. With his cold eyes, Matt observed the lady - his friend. He was glad for her. Glad that she was back from the darkness and recovered from her mother's death. Her rosy cheeks had returned and she looked as healthy and livelier as she had once been, with the pale sunken attitude fallen into oblivion.
Then again it could be the anti-depressant drugs she was taking.
Suddenly her smiling face was in front of him with a quizzical look, " So…we got PE first? First period?"
Matt was a slight bit flattered for catching him off guard, moving away from her a bit, as he murmured back to her, " Yeah, we'll be doing Martial Arts again."
"Okay! Just checkin'," she said cheerfully then she turned to her girlfriend. " Class starts in two minutes! We'd better get a move on…"
"Err…alright?" Mimi responded with a raised eyebrow. Who cared if they were late!
She had another English class that day, which meant she had to dodge all the tension in the room…especially when Andrew and Tai were there. She felt…uncomfortable with their pairs of eyes eyeing each other's every move. Or in her case, her actions just as well. Mimi swore to herself that she'd be shocked if she would survive another class with the two childish boys. The rumours about her were also making her daily school life a hell, though they were true…she wasn't going to tell anyone. You simply couldn't trust people these days…
('º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º')
"Right on time Mr. Ishida and Mrs. Takenouchi," the male Phys ED teacher gestured to his watch then stared at the whole class in the gymnasium, " Okay class, now let's get started! Find a pair and face each other."
"Have you gotta partner Yamato?"
Yamato turned around to face a pretty girl with short curly blonde locks. Her distinct hazel eyes stared straight at him seductively. Jezebel was in most of his classes and always had been attracted to Matt and would try anything to get him, always using desperate measures. "Uhh…Jes-"
"He's my partner," Sora stated.
Matt mimicked a 'thanks' to her with gratefulness.
"Oh, I see," Jezebel's luring eyes darted between the two before her, and left the pair to find another partner.
"You owe me one," Sora smirked.
"Big time."
The two remained silent. Sora stared at him observantly; she could see his mind drift away from the reality, lost in his thoughts once again. Guess old habits die hard…she thought.
"It's unfair how you go off to your dreamland and leave me here, Matt," Sora's tone was currently serious. " What secrets are you hiding?"
Everyone had their secrets, yet all their secrets were linked in a certain way, which was causing the crew to drift apart from each other. They used to be a strong group that would keep nothing from each other, even about their personal life and relationships, and now they were hiding everything from each other. With all of them growing up, unable to trust each other…their friendship was on the edge of collapsing.
"And if I told you my secret…it wouldn't be one anymore, would it?" Yamato smartly remarked.
"I guess you're right about that one," Sora rolled her eyes; she knew that when Yamato wasn't going to answer…he wasn't going to answer. He was too stubborn. " Come on Matt! Let's fight already, I wanna kick you're sexy butt…show me what you got!"
"My sexy butt? Never knew I'd be sexually insulted by a girl," Matt sneered. He pulled of his navy jumper to reveal a fitting grey singlet that showed off his abs.
Sora blushed slightly then realized that Matt was no longer the little boy she used to hang around anymore and play 'hide and seek' with…he had grown…
"BRING IT!" Matt interrupted her thought fixing himself in a fighting stance," You get hits first since you're a layday."
"Being sexist now?" Sora mocked to her guy friend.
" You started it but teasing my butt."
" I don't care," she stated with a evident smile, "I want you to give me everything you got! And this time don't hold back…I heard what the teacher said last time of you holding back. Treat me like you'd usually treat a opponent."
"I only fight my best when I really need to, Sora," the blond teenager rolled his azure eyes cockily, " But since you're interested…okay - I shall defeat you."
Immediately, Sora sent a flying fist and then kicked but only felt the rush of air for Yamato had dodged every move…since when did he get so fast? Where'd he go?
"I'm here…right under you So-rah!"
Sora hesitated and glanced to see Yamato's leg swipe under her to make her fall backwards on the soft blue mat. She quickly stumbled up and gasped in between breaths, " When…how did-…how come you're so good at this?"
"I used to fight," he replied simply. " Martial arts as a kid."
"And you never told us?" she said but didn't really care if he were to answer back to her question. "Let's just do this already."
Sweat gradually builded up on her face as her swift punches and kicks tried to hit him but she never managed to lay a single finger on him, he was just to fast. Her auburn hair looked a bit moist and her focused eyes were travelling wherever he went.
Yamato was just too good…damn too good
She could tell he wasn't even trying hard for he looked not tired at all since he had broken no sweat. All he did was block her hits or miss them; he wasn't even trying to defeat her. He was clearly toying her, with amusement and this infuriated her giving her fiery determination. With this new form of energy she grasped her chance and sneakily kicked his back that was the area that was not protected and to her surprise watched him fall to the ground with a soft thump.
"Take that, Matt! That's what you get for having a large ego Matty-Boy. Though I admit you were some sort of challenge!" Sore jeered as she waited for him to get up and fight back. There was no response. He wasn't moving on the ground and just lay there quietly.
"Matt?" Sora queried with a hint of worry showing on her unsure expression on her exhausted puffed up red face. She squatted down and heavily pushed the boy to his side an instantly took notice that his eyes were closed and his breathing was rather weak. " This isn't funny anymore, Matt, get up! Matt! Yamato!"

· FLASHBACK/DREAM·
"In no time Yamato, you'll be ready for the test and show them what you've got…here," his martial arts teacher passed him a towel to wipe his sweat in, " If you pass you'll receive that black belt."
"I don't know how to thank you," the eleven-year-old boy held a strong smile. " You've offered so much for me. And you've trained me for free, taking your time. You're like one of the only people I can truly trust, you were grand papa's best friend and ever since he passed away…I could always count on you. I'm so grateful to meet you and be trained by you…how can I ever repay what you've done for me for the past years?"
"By protecting your brother since it's only you and him now. You've got to look out for each other because you hardly hear or see your parents around anymore," the old man gave a weary smile. " This is why you asked me to train you from the first place, may I ask?"
"I guess…" Matt sighed and placed the soft material to wipe his face. He had been doing so much hard training for the past week. "Thanks again…I'd better be going, TK's still waiting for me and it's getting late. Bye sensei!"
"It's too bad you have to carry a tough task at your age. Managing to handle that bouncy brother of yours…" he laughed after the blond boy who had already put on his worn out shoes and ran out the door of his house.
As soon as Matt had escaped from the house he noticed the sky was already dark. He moaned a curse to himself and sped up his pace, running as fast as he could to his little brother's school.
"TK!" he called…
He gazed around the school grounds in search for his brother and noticed a tiny figure sitting besides the playground.
"About time you came Yama," he said with hurt written in his eyes, " You were supposed to come and pick me up earlier! It's already nighttime and I'm hungry! I've been waiting for you for a long time…""
"Sorry about that Teeks…you know how I've got a aural exam coming soon on Karate," Matt winked as he ruffled the boy's identical hair to his.
" Ohh…alright!" TK smiled. It was so easy to get him happy again and to understand. " Do you reckon Mama and Papa will be home tonight, they've been away for a week already…"
"I'm not sure, TK," Matt stared straight ahead of them not showing any emotion, " But truthfully, I don't think so. They've been away longer than this…and we…we don't need them anyway."
The pair walked side by side and finally walked into the squashy alleyway that leaded them to their home. Shadows clambered around the two and TK then held tightly to his brother. Where they lived, it was the poorest spot in Odaiba with rats sprawling here and there. They were aware of the danger and were used to the thieves and drug dealers that hung around in their area.
They came to a halt at a specific doorway and Matt kicked the door open, for there was no lock on it. As they entered their house, shattered glass was scattered around, broken floorboards were everywhere and in general the whole place was a big mess. Takeru lit up the kitchen light (fortunately for them, the only light bulb that worked)
Two adults stood before them. The man wore filthy ragged and scruffy clothing that draped down over him like a tunic while the woman was clothed with torn material that showed a bit too much of her skin. Both had dark bags under their eyes as they stared down at their young children.
Without hesitation little Takeru ran to greet his mother and gave her warm embrace while showing a piece of English writing that he had gotten a excellent mark in. The tiredness in the mother's eyes was eliminated and was replaced with sparks of hope. " Isn't that something TK…I'm proud of you, son."
"Why are you standing back, Yamato," their father spoke dangerously.
Matt took one step closer and noticed a small brown bag on the dirty table. He wasn't the only one who noticed it…
Joyfully, TK withdrew from his mother and excelled to the bag, " Ohhh…did you cook us food? I miss your cooking, ma!"
He was about to open the bag but it was then immediately snatched from his tiny hands. "No, TK, it isn't," his father said neutrally.
"TK, go to your room," their mother said quietly. " We need to speak to your brother."
"Why? I wanna know too!" he exclaimed.
" TK," their father warned dangerously.
"Fine! But…if I go, you aren't goin' to leave, right?" TK began.
"Do what she said, bro," Yamato ordered and his brother obeyed him without answering back forced him away from his awkward family.
When Takeru was clearly out of site his father spoke to him, " We're going to have to leave permanently this time…it isn't safe for us to be with you…we got caught up into nasty business…and now they're after us"
"Thanks for filling me," Matt sighed knowingly…he was sick of it…sick of the trash his parents he had to put up with. " Who's after you?"
"Yamato please…you're not making it easier. It's best if you don't know," his mother pleaded. " You've got to understand…"
"Understand WHAT? I already know what is going on!" Matt growled as fire loomed in his blue eyes, " And you're supposed to be my LOVING parents who care for us…but here you are…LEAVING! Is that the only fucking thing you're good at? WHAT ..what the fuck is with you? I know what you're planning, alright? I'm not and idiot for crying out loud! What do you take me for? You've got drugs in that little bag of yours and you probably stole it of someone, which is why they're coming after your asses. For all I care, I HOPE that they do get y-"
Matt's body slammed against the brick wall and he yelped in pain, his father advanced to him as he held the blond headed boy by his shabby collar. He punched him in the stomach and slapped him hard on the face. Matt felt helpless. Yamato knew that he could fight back and instantly beat his father after all the training he had done…but he couldn't hurt his father…he was his father…he just couldn't…
"STOP IT!" the only woman in the house shrieked that caused his father to let him go as Yamato spat blood onto the ground, avoiding the aching pain throughout his whole body and steadied himself on the floor.
"You Yamato…we are doin' this, for it's right," with his final words his father stormed out of 'what was called' and household, " Come on, Nancy! We're leaving!"
Matt slumped against the wall as he glared at his mother.
"Matt…I-I…"
"What?" he spat back.
His mother grabbed the cleanest tissue out of her worn out pocket and gave it to him. " I need to go with him, he'll get himself in trouble…you know I'll always love you."
"If you love me…why are you leaving?" Matt said in a low tone as he accepted the soft material and placed it amongst his bleeding lip.
"I love your father as well, Yamato," she replied softly as tears slipped down her frail face, " I need to be there to protect him…I'm there with him whatever his decision is and I stick by it. There's money in the safe, under the staircase for you…"
"You can change your mind…"
"No, I've made the decision already."
"NANCY, GET A MOVE ON!"
"This is it then," Matt stared back at his mother directly in the identical eyes as his – not knowing it would be for the last time.
She nodded her head and sniffed, bobbed down to give a final kiss and hug to her oldest son. " I love you and you better remember that. Give my regards to your brother."
She gave one last look at her broken and hurt son, and ran away from him as her husband called her again.
Yamato dropped down and buried his face into his hands and broke down into tears.
" I love you too…"

" I don't know how the fuck Sora lured me into doin' this dreary pathetic subject," Mimi groaned to no one in particular as she cupped her head into her hands, elbows hard against the wooden table, " And then Sora ends up not turning to class in time. Seriously, if she doesn't rock up…who knows what I'll do with her."
In awkward timing, an auburn haired girl rushed in and took a seat next to her friend. " I'm not late…am I? I was so sure that I wouldn't make it in tim-…"
"You are late," Mimi interrupted. " The teacher just went to get her folder. It's damn frustrating when teachers blame us of being unorganised when they are themselves… those bitchesAnyway, I covered for you and told you were still at the bathroom. She's easy to new students, but I've had some experience with her which is why she's a tight as to me."
"I see…"
Mimi grinned as their teacher walked in and instantly began righting complicated formulas on the board.
Sora smiled enthusiastically, " Chemistry, you gotta love it."
"Not me…" the brunette said in disgust. " And why were you late in the first place if you love your chemistry so much? Was it the chemistry between Yamato and yourself that you decided to be a bit late…eh?"
Sora rolled her eyes. " Yeah, I guess you could say that…but not from your 'chemistry' point of view. It's just that he happened to collapse in PE when I hit him as ever slightly on the back…I don't understand…I know he ain't that weak."
"Yeah…pretty strange," Mimi raised an eyebrow in concern, " You all right about it?"
"Ahh…as soon as he fell, he was brought to the sickbay and then the nurse told us that he had a fever and probably had it for quite some time and didn't tell us," Sora sighed, " Stupid Matt…you know him? Not tellin' anyone how he is just to look macho and exhausted himself out without anyone knowin' that he was sick."
"Ain't he always like that? Jeez, I didn't even notice his symptoms."
Sora muttered quietly, " But he's alright now, so it's cool. He had a choice to go back home or to stay at school. But I'm pretty sure he went home, just to bludge his way outa school. Though, there was just something that bugged me when he came back to consciousness."
"What?"
"He said," Sora paused, " I love you too."
"So?" Mimi smirked.
" Ahh…he's probably just delirious from the amount of antibiotics the nurse gave him. Perhaps when he passed out, he had a dream about Jezebel and got me mixed up with her," Sora spoke with an obvious tinge of jealousy in her tone.
"Whatever Sora," Mimi frowned. " No one would like that whore, I used to be friends with her (close friends in fact) and all she does is flirt and bitch about shit. That's who she is. You just got to watch your back around her…"
"I already know," Sora replied back. " Don't need you to tell me, when I can see through her already. That reminds me…"
"Yeah?"
"Well…I overheard some gossip between Jezebel and some other chick a few days ago…rumours about you. Is it true? I mean…I shouldn't believe them…but I thought I should confront you and ask," Sora sighed. " Ahh…it probably isn't tru-"
"Yeah it is…" Mimi's frown widened. " I trust you, Sora, and I know you won't tell anyone bout it…but don't tell Yamato, Tai, TK or Kari for me?"
"Sure," Sora said, " It was just hard to believe that something like that had actually happened to you. I'm sorry about it and if I've been snooping around…I was just curious."
" Off course you would be. It's over. The past is the past, I can't change who I was," Mimi shrugged.
" That's true…"
('º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º')
"Focus your aperture," the teacher instructed.
Photography class
Hikari Kamiya surely loved the essence of taking photos from different perspectives and landscapes. She adored developing and observing the photographs…but today - it was just simply boring.
Why?
Because she had been taught how to focus and develop a 'black and white' photograph a long time ago. Back in Odaiba she had taught herself how to do it. And currently, this class, was irritating her how it took some of her classmates a really long time to do simplest things. She knew that she was being a bit hard on the people who were testing it out for the first time, but she couldn't help it.
The strong scent of chemicals whisked through the black dark room, making her have a bit of a headache as the red safety lights glowed on each of their work stations. She liked the presence of how she couldn't see much, she felt as if she could dissolve with the darkness and feel like nothing. Her eyes darted back to the red lights glowing on Angel's handsome face as his eyes concentrated hard into making the 'focus' perfect. A light blush flickered on her pale cheeks.
It had taken Kari by surprise when she had found out that Angel took photography class. It was just…weird
It was like seeing TK take photography class. Why was she thinking about TK again? He'd already damaged her enough…
She gazed back at her already focused image, which conveyed an old image of her brother and herself at a very young age with ecstatic grins smiling back to her. It made her feel sad, yet happy. Those were to good ol' days - when everything was perfect. Just pure innocence, no exposure the cruel world at all. Her dad hadn't die, TK was her best friend and having a loving brother that would be there for her no matter what. That was the perfect life.
"Boo!"
Suddenly, she felt someone grip her shoulders and let a tiny shriek escape her scarlet glossy lips as she tensed up. She turned around to see a smiling boy, of her age, staring back at her. " JR! I never knew you took this class!"
"Hey Kari…I wasn't expectin' you here either, girl!" Ken's friend exclaimed.
"So how's Ken been? It's too bad that dude doesn't come to the same campus as us. At first I thought he was the same age as Yolei, I never expected him to be in the Senior Campus," Kari commented. " Yolei doesn't really speak of him much…"
"Huh? Ken at the Senior Campus…where'd you get that from, Kar?" JR laughed, " Ken doesn't go to school…he dropped out or got expelled for all I know. He hasn't really told anyone exactly how he doesn't got to school no more."
"Yolei told me that he was went to school at the senior campus…she lied, I wonder why," Kari spoke aloud curiously pondering in her mind for a answer.
"Yolei has her reasons from time to time…just don't underestimate her," JR advised. " She's still good at heart. There's most likely a good reason behind why she didn't tell you the whole truth…just don't tell anyone that I told you about Ken…I thought you'd known already, that's all…guess they want it as a secret…"
"It's fine," she responded and gave a wink, " I trust you."
Changing the subject, JR noticed the image shown on her aperture. " So you've got an artistic side to you, Mizz Hikari? That's your bro, right? Tai, man, he looks so different there! I never knew he were goggles… Not to mention you! That lil lady turnin' into a damn hot chick."
Kari laughed. " Idiot."
" You two look so young and happy…" JR grinned. " You should take another picture of Tai and yourself in the present so that you can compare it with that image! It'll look good…"
"You reckon?"
"I certainly do! Damn right," he stated positively in a friendly gesture.
"But that will never happen…you know how my relationship with Tai ain't goin' very well. We hardly talk these days," Kari's relaxed and happy face was then replaced with a melancholy one.
" You can try and talk things ou-"
"Tried it…"
"Act like nothing had happene-"
"Tried that too…"
"Well…I don't know what else I can tell you," JR shrugged casually. "Don't really get into fights with my older bro. Don't worry you'll sort things out eventually."
"Hmm…I don't think so," Kari commented. " He doesn't care about me. I don't care about him. It's that simple."
"Then I guess you should open your eyes. Or I suggest you get glasses," JR shook his head. " Nothing is goin' to make me believe that the both of you don't care for each other."
('º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º')
Taichi slumped down on his chair at the corner of the room. For today, he was a loner. He hadn't seen Yamato for the whole day and he didn't even turn up to the music class, which was why he was sitting by himself in English class. He wondered where that ass was…In boredom, Taichi ripped a piece of paper from one of his exercise books and scribbled a little message onto it whispering the person next to him to pass it on to Andrew, who was also sitting on the other side of the room.
Might as well take Yama's advice…
When Andrew received the paper, he wrote back on it and motioned it to be returned to Tai. As the note then passed back to the brunette and as soon as he good the parchment, Tai quickly unfolded the piece of paper - reading it to himself, ' Yeah, it's cool Taichi. I'm fine with you talkin' with me tomorrow - since your Mimi's friend...you're probably a great guy. Let's start all over, and get along already. It would be strange if I always hanged with your group and you would snob me off. - Drew
Mimi suspiciously stared at the two guys who were making contact that took her by surprise, eager to find out what they were both up to. Suddenly a South African entered the classroom with a pleasant and excited grin on his face as he gripped white sheets of paper in on of hands and a boom box in the other.
"Good afternoon class! I'm Mr. Avery and will only be teaching this class for the period since your usual teacher is away," he announced in a active and energetic tone.
The pupils were silent for once since they were interested, especially that he was carrying a boom box…this drew all the student's attention automatically.
"Since your normal teacher has left me with nothing but the topic that is Love Poetry…I figured out to myself that you should all know the consequences of heart break as well. This is another side of love which gets into a modern way of expressing it," Mr. Avery said with enthusiasm and expertise as he taught the class. " Because 'song' is also a form of poetry, I decided to bring the music that I usually listen too. It is modern and I wouldn't be peculiarly surprised if you knew the artist or have heard the song. Take one of these sheets and pass it along - it has the lyrics on the sheet of paper."
The man then turned the boom box on and steadied it to an appropriate volume…the music then began to play…
I don't understand why
See it's burning me to hold onto this
I know this is something I gotta do
But that don't mean I want to
What I'm trying to say is that I-love-you I just
I feel like this is coming to an end
And it's better for me to let it go now than hold on and hurt you
I gotta let it burn
It's gonna burn for me to say
this
But it's comin from my heart
It's been a long time coming
But we done been fell apart
Really wanna work this out
But I don't think you're gonna change
I do but you don't
Think it's best we go our separate ways
Tell me why I should stay in this relationship
When I'm hurting baby, I ain't happy baby
Plus there's so many other things I gotta deal with
I think that you should let it burn
When your feeling ain't the same
and your body don't want to
But you know gotta let it go cuz the party ain't jumpin' like it used to
Even though this might ruin you
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn
Deep down you know it's best for
yourself but you
Hate the thought of her being with someone else
But you know that it's over
We know that it's through
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn
Sendin' pages I ain't supposed
to
Got somebody here but I want you
Cause the feelin ain't the same by myself
Callin' her your name
Ladies tell me do you understand?
Now all my fellas do you feel my pain?
It's the way I feel
I know I made a mistake
Now it's too late
I know she ain't comin back
What I gotta do now
To get my shorty back
Ooo ooo ooo ooooh
Man I don't know what I'm gonna do
Without my booo
You've been gone for too long
It's been fifty-leven days, um-teen hours
Imma be burnin' till you return (let it burn)
When your feeling ain't the same
and your body don't want to
But you know gotta let it go cuz the party ain't jumpin' like it used to
Even though this might ruin you
Let it burn (let it burn, let it burn, you gon'learn)
Let it burn (gotta let it burn)
Gotta let it burn
Deep down you know its best for
yourself but you
Hate the thought of her being with someone else
But you know that it's over
We know that it's through
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn
I'm twisted cuz one side of me
is tellin' me that I need to move on
On the other side I wanna break down and cry (ooooh)
I'm twisted cuz one side of me is tellin' me that I need to move on
On the other side I wanna break down and cry (yeah)
Ooh ooh oooh (can ya feel me burnin'?)
So many days, so many hours
I'm still burnin' till you return
When your feeling ain't the same
and your body don't want to
But you know gotta let it go cuz the party ain't jumpin' like it used to
Even though this might ruin you
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn
Deep down you know it's best for
yourself but you
Hate the thought of her being with someone else
But you know that it's over
We know that it's through
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn
Mimi, Tai and Drew were all frowning. Why were English classes becoming so depressing?

Yo I was doing a show with Kanye in the West
Mid that is, so basically the Chi and M.I. is up in the mix
We in the game now, it makes perfect sense
The kid that 'Dropped Outta College', the other never went
We take turns doing our one, two's and yes yes y'alls
Look at shorty with my name, tatted on her breast y'all
Mr. West, what do you think is the best?
(Kanye: Take em backstage, get aquainted that's what I suggest dawg)
When it comes to spittin G, I'm one of the best y'all
She look goods, smell clean and she had fresh draws
Naw, that's too good to be
Usually them type of chicks ain't good for me, no!
Takeru grabbed a pen and fiddled with it, making it fall into all the areas between his fingers with skill as he tediously read the History textbook in front of him. His homework was to read the passage and answer the questions. The blond boys headed rocked with the music as he quickly jotted down some answers. Daisuke Motomiya entered the dormitory with a paled expression as he dropped steadily onto his bed.
"Turn the music off, TK."
TK didn't exactly turn the beat off, but made the volume a bit lower. " So how was the talk with Mrs. Henderson went? From the looks of it, how you look like shit…it was bad, right?"
"I reckon," Daisuke frowned and gave a heavy sigh, "When we got handed back our argumentative essay I failed it, which is why I went to see her. She's a pretty harsh marker, but she gives good pointers to get you back on the track. I guess I've just been to pressured and stressed out lately…"
"Yeah, you probably need to sit back and relax," Takeru said nonchalantly as he began to draw on his textbook. " It wasn't that hard for a piece of writing…maybe you weren't just trying good enough."
I got a love that's better than - you ever was
You've never been - no good for me
I guess I was - just way too hood for you to be with

"What you don't see…Takeru, is that I do try my hardest," Daisuke muttered hotly. " What I don't get with you TK, is how you do it!"
"Do what?" TK spoke blindly as he found an answer to another History question and wrote it down.
"That!" Daisuke moaned as he gripped his brown messy hair in annoyance. " How you always leave every grain of homework to last minute and hand it in the next day! And then you always end up getting' marks well than mine. You get great glorious grades and act as if it weren't a big deal or anything. I don't understand. Also how you listen to music while you do you're work…how can you concentrate?"
"Uhh…I just do?" TK shrugged. " Hate working without music."
"Damn you're such a cocky lil shithead!" Daisuke couldn't help but laugh at his friend as he gave him a kick on the butt.
"Ohhh Dai, you'll pay for being a lil perverted bo-" there was a knock on the door. " You get it, I can't be fucked."
"Whatever mate," Daisuke rolled his eyes as he pulled the door open to reveal an older blond headed boy with piercing blue eyes gazing straight at him. " Eh…who are you? Or am I seeing TK's double!"
"I'm M-matt," he said bluntly as he withdrew into sudden sneeze.
"Bless you, dude…just make sure you don't give me any of that sickness you got!" Daisuke chuckled gleefully. " So you're name's Matt…I finally get to meet you in person! TK's older brother?"
" That's right," Matt replied. " Just wonderin' if he was about."
"I am," TK stated as he came from behind Daisuke and stuck his head out of the door, giving him a steady glance, " What do you want? Aren't you supposed to be at school or something?"
"Can I talk to you…inside? Rather than standing out here…it's fricken cold and I'll obviously get sicker if I stay out here."
"Sure thing," the only brunette welcomed, " I'm Daisuke Motomiya, by the way. Since I don't think TK will introduce me. I'm your brother's roommate. Take a seat, anywhere."
"Nah…it's cool, I'll stand," Matt reassured. " Nice to meet you, Motomiya."
Sensing that Yamato only wanted to speak to Takeru alone, the brown haired boy casually walked out of the dorm, deciding to go and kick a few goals at the soccer field.
Matt held a steady gaze at his brother and began to inform him with an update, " Tai and Mimi aren't talking because there was this issue with Andrew. Sora…well she's fine and Kari's just started school in the junior campus by herself. She's fine if you wanted to know…also she's not quite of a loner cause Yolei goes there too."
"No, I really didn't want to know about how Kari and everyone else is doin'," TK calmly lied to him. " And why the hell you tellin' me, anyway? Cut to the chase already. I got homework."
"Because there's a dance practice in about four hours, back at Mimi's joint," commented Matt without thinking. " So I decided, since you haven't had any practice in a while, that you should go there."
"So…let me get this straight. You came all the way over here just to tell me I need to practice our dance routine when I clearly can bust ma moves here, by myself?" TK raised an eyebrow and spearing rather sarcastically.
"I'm just suggesting that you go back to our house for a day, or so, and then you can come back here and do your stuff. I'll take it from here."
"What do you mean that you'll take it from here?" TK sighed, shaking his head. His brother had totally lost it. " I'm not allowed to be out of school grounds when I've already left once in a fortnight. There is no way you can twist the school rules, and you should know the school rules that there are darn consequences."
"That's why I came," Matt mused as massaged his forehead for his headache was literally killing him.
"What? Somehow I don't like the sound of that. Please explain," he murmured.
"Since we look the same, how bout we trades places for a day. I could use with a little rest from all the commotion. And it would make me recover and feel better away from the Tachikawa's residence from all the drama going on there. "
"We trade places…sure!"
"I'll stay in bed all day, I really need some rest. And anyway, then you'll have a free day from work and be watching DVDs all day back at Mimi's house. It wouldn't be that bad, and I surely think this room is more peaceful and neater than my other one with Tai," Matt explained.
"That's most likely because you haven't cleaned it," TK simply explained. " Okay….fine if that's how you want it. You can stay at my school for a day, but don't look too suspicious."
"How can I? When I'm really sick…I'll just have my head tucked in the blankets. No one would probably tell cause you've only been at this school for about a week or so. And since you wear baggy clothing, I could wear it, and you can wear your clothes you left back at Mimi's house. No need to worry."
"Kay, it's a deal then," TK sighed. He could never win a fight against his brother.
Within half an hour Takeru had already sneaked out of the school and took a taxi back to the Tachikawa's Residence while Yamato made himself comfortable in his brother's bed. The warm blankets covered him up to his head as he shivered a bit.
It's better than nothing, at least I won't take the risk of making not much people sick than if I were staying back at Mimi's house.
Even though he was heating up, he was cold and couldn't get to sleep. He sensed the silence and decided to take advantage of it. He pulled a music book out of his bag and began to write a couple of lyrics as he hummed the tune. Yamato was in full concentration that he didn't even notice Daisuke close the door and abruptly put the music on full blast.

We on fire
Up in here, it's burning hot
We on fire
Shell take it off if it get to hot, up in this spot
We on fire
Tear the roof off this motherfucker, light the roof on fire
Nigga what you say
We get loose in this motherfucker, light the roof on fire fire fire
The music caught the blond teenager of guard as it sent him stumbling out of bed in surprise. " SHIT! WHY THE HELL YOU PLAYING THAT MUSIC! CAN'T YOU SEE THAT I'M FUCKIN TRYING TO DO SOMETHING!"
Daisuke Motomiya was shaken as he tossed his soccer ball under the bed and then sneered. " C'mon TK, I thought you wanted me to play some tunes since you like to homework with those loud beat that you constantly listen to me. Sorry for being a friend."
"It's Matt…not TK. And I ain't doin' homework, I'm writing some music at the moment," the blond headed adolescent growled impatiently.
Daisuke gulped in confusion. Quickly deciding to get out of the mess and confront Yamato about what the hell was going on AFTER he had cooled down, he slipped out of the room for the cafeteria.
This was certainly going to be a long day…

Hey hey, I know I know….the end bit was rather gay…damn, that rhymes! Not much really went on in this chapter…besides the fact about Yamato's childhood. I've been thinking about a specific scene for the passed three months and was meant to put it in earlier, but I thought I needed to cover all these stuff first. I would probably rate it on the Michi side…and will be out in the future three chapter… If you haven't noticed me saying that chapters would be dramatic…that was supposed to be for the Michi scene, but I always changed my mind. Save the best for last, I guess Shrugz I hoped you liked this idiotic chapter though! Regards! Till next time…
