Chapter 5--------------------- Heartbreaks and Aches
Two weeks had passd since the track meet, and everthing seemed to be back to it's usual quite and serene atmosphere, the usual small glares and comments were thrown back and forth between Holly and The Freedom Fighters, yet everything remained calm and no fights occured much to the likeing of everyone.
It was lunchtime at school, and the BladeBreakers and girls were gathered on a bench in the center of the main foyer. Long twentyth century tapestries, hanging from the ancient walls of the school, cascading down to the floor.
The strong smell of wood was present since most of the school's interior was only made of the finest wood in the world, keeping a classy and professional look.
Riona sat at the edge wrapped in Kai's arms, both incredibly close to eachother, talking quietly, about somethign rather, and Tifa was sitting on Rei's lap both laughing at something he had said, Rei's arms wrapped protectivly around her waist. Rikku and Tidus however where not so discret when it came to making out in public, since they were both quite caught up to notice anything that was happenign in there surroundings.
"Ya know it's not like sleeping with him gives you the liscense to make out anywhere you go" Tifa said looking at them, reaching over and slapping Rikku across the head.
Max, Tyson and Kenny were all crowded around a piel of random blade pieces, all three of them carefulkly examining each piece to make sure none were defective.
" Dude I really don't wanna know that" Tyson said lifting his eyes from a brand new attack ring which he was polishing most proudly, the piece obviously going to be the newest addition to his Dragoon blade.
"Hey what is this, who says we slept together" Tidus said innocently, immediatly going on the defensive.
"Who says you didn't" Kai retorted defiantly looking at his slightly younger brother.
"Shut up bro"
"Don't tell em to shut up, you shut up"
"Both you girlies shut up.....unbelievable" Tifa said cutting in the small irelevent quirrel.
" Listen we all now that Rikkus' in a certain mood after she gets some so there the proof enough" Riona made quotation marks with her fingers.
" Alright so what if we did" Tidus said crossing his arms, sticking his nose up into the air.
"I would pay to get that thought out of my head, and me thinking that you would never get laid in my life, is actually going out with someone, must be desperate" Kai said running his hand through Riona's blond locks, receiving a sweet chuckle from her.
" Hey and what the hell is that supposed to mean!" Tidus' voice rose quite a bit, a tinge of anger in his voice.
"YEA! Kai you think your so great with those snide remarks and those smart ass comebacks" Rikku got up.
Riona put her hand up between Kai and Rikku" Hey alright you guys cool it, and Rikku you shouldn't just be like making out like two horses in heat in the school you could get like three weeks of detention, the way these teachers seem to be throwing them around".
" Alright enough about you people getting laid, and detentions, it's bad for the mental state" Rei said faking a painful cring on his face.
"No matter what face you make you still look cute" Tifa smiled, lightly pecking his cheek.
"Oh...what if I make this face" Rei kept a straight face with his infamous sexy smirk putting some on just for show. A few girls in the younger grades were heard squealing from the other side of the foyer.
" That's your hot and sexy one" Tifa smirked pecking him on the lips.
"Yeah but it's meant only for you" Rei added in, knowing the more he said the more Tifa would turn different shades of red, much to his amusment, he loved getting her into awkward situations.
" Wow so you guys have matured onto older subjects, you know instead of those spinning top thingys" Holly swished her hips, as she walked up to them, fliping her hair,her shirt undone until the middle of her chest, her cleavage showing much more then it's intially supposed too. " Because I would think that you girls would be the prim and proper i stay a virgin until i'm married types" Holly faked surprise, Tifa knew what was coming and was ready to pummel her for her future words." But wait you aren't actually i know that for a fact, your boyfriend..."Holly pointed at Tifa, Rei suddenly had a confused look on his face," Oh and I'm not talking about you Rei, I'm talking about Jake, and you ask me how I know? Well it's just the simple fact that....he told me so" her voice dripping with pride as she said those words, and watched the color quickly drain form Tifa's face.
"HE'S DEAD!" Tifa voice quickly came back into her throat, standing up off a shocked Rei. Riona and Rikku had immediatly side-glanced eachother, while Tidus and Kai stayed shockingly quiet.
"AND WHY WOULD HE TELL YOU ANYTHING!" Tifa yelled at the top of her lungs, quickly looking around, suddenly realizing she was in the main foyer, overcrowded and always had passing teachers. Yet today it was completely empty, them being the only people in the foyer, which was extremly strange for a lunchtime.
Rei looked up at Tifa, he'd never seen her so angry before, she was shaking,he was surprised that he wasn't, he knew she had an ex, and that they were extremely close....but not that close. Tifa seeming obviously upset anytime someone brought him up, but Holly saying it just made hearing it ten times worse.
"He would tell me because, he and I you know were friends" Holly smiled a sickening smile," But maybe you should ask him yourself".
Riona was now standing up beside Tifa, her face a mask of confusion, Rikku's an icy mask of rage. Holly stepped to the side, the lights in the surrounding corridors mysteriously turning off,shrouding the hallway into darkness.
" Tifa, Tifa, Tifa come on now you really wouldn't think that would get rid of me, I'm dissapointed in you" the voice rang in Tifa's ears, haunted her mind and heart, she fell to the ground landing on her knees, her legs giving way. She looked in the direction, from which the oh so familiar voice echoed from ,"No......"she uttered.
"OH MY GOD!" Rikku and Riona both yelled, seeing the figure come forward out of the darkened hallway and into the light, Tifa's hands coming to cover her mouth to stop her from screaming. Rei eyed the newcomer with venomous eyes, already knwoing exactly who this guy was. Kai and Tidus seemed to sense the same thing, now standing beside Rei making sure that he didn't do anything frantic, since the guy obviously seemed to e able to defend himself. With his strikign good looks, directly in teh definition Tall, Dark, and handsome, at least 6 feet tall, his dark black hair, well tanned skin, and well skulpted muscles would make any girl swoon, but not with the three girls standing before him now. Rikku and Riona now had a profound hatred for the guy walking to join Holly's side. Tifa's eyes were locked onto his dark brown ones, neither loosing contact.
" What the hell, so you come back and hang out with Holly, without even telling Tifa, crying her eyes out for like 4 months, you asshole! You traitor!" Rikku held back her anger no more, walking up closer, and accusingly pointing at Jake.
" I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't with Holly even when we were going out " Tifa said still looking into his dark pools boring into them with her own dark green ones, trying to tear him apart with her gaze.
" Your not real" Riona was still in a state of denial, everything was goign so fine and now the world had to come crashing down on them again.
" Oh he's real alright, I should know, I touched him" Holly smirked stopping to see the reactions of the group," When we found him he was barely alive, laying there bloody and battered, yet all he coudl worry about was his precious Tifa, but what you didn't know was all this was all a skam, Jake was involved and so was Enrique and so was Brad...."Riona looked up at the mention of her brother, her blood boiling inside her veins, his name comeing from her filthy lips was an insult to him, Rikku's knuckles whitening at the mention of her ex, Holly smiled in satisfaction as she continued " But i won't tell you what it was for, the fact is that they did this on there own will, getting hurt and everything, but they still cared for you girls, it took several months to heal him all up so he was back to normal for you, but you found Rei, and that made his blood boil, then he was officially all mine,in effect he still wanted you. So I'm letting him continue his conquest for you, just for my own enjoyment to watch you skirm, as you have to deal with not only one but two guys" she finshed crossing her arms gingerly.
" Tifa your mine and you know it" Jake said as he walked up closer to the fallen Tifa. Rei quickly starting forward, but was held back by his two friends," let her deal with this, if he touchs her then he'll get it" Kai said, but Rei didn't like the idea, but stayed back nonethless.
" Screw off! I hear all thsi shit about you and Holly humping eachother, and you expect me to throw myself into your arms, Oh but let me guess thats why you went at it with Holly, because I just didn't let you in that easy! After you did you were around me all the time! I bet all those times you called to "check" in you were really going to fuck Holly! You BASTARD! AND YOU EXPECT ME TO GO RIGHT BACK TO YOU I LOVE REI!" Tifa yelled pushing herself to her feet standing her fists clenched to her sides.
Rikku and Riona both stood next to her there arms crossed daring him to come any closer, Rei almost sighed in relief at Tifa's words feeling a large amount of pressure being listed off his chest.
"CLONE!" Rikku said.
"ZOMBIE" screamed Riona.
"Asshole" Tifa growled.
"Oh Tifa, you say you love Rei, but deep down do you really mean it, I mean you and I have been through so much together, and it is only 4 months since it last happened are you truely over it, I know you aren't deep down inside you your still hurting, and I know it bugs you seeing me stand beside her"Jake was walked up to Tifa his height difference apparent as he stood face to face with her, yet Tifa still kept her face straight her eyes never fleeing his.
"You seem to think so much Jake, the truth is, yes it did hurt for a long while actually up until I met the BladeBreakers, but once I talked to Rei and we got to know eachother, I knew I had never felt that way about anyone in my time on earth, not even for you Jake, gte out of my face I'll never come back to you" Tifa said determination and resolve dominating every other emotion she felt in her body, her voice coming out clear and strong.
" This is going to get ugly look at the look an Jake's face" Max whispered to Tyson who was watching the people before him as if he were watching a movie, all he needed was popcorn and a drink.
"Do you see the look on Rei's face, he looks as if he wants to jump the fucker, i've never seen him that mad, well maybe when he lost Driger the last time but yeah, damn, I want a fight to break loose" Tyson said switching his view to Holly who had her hands on her hips and her skirt was slightly too high in one area.
"Well then you really did fall for this chump, I can't believe it, you choose him over me, well I could change that quite easily, I'll force you to love me or you could just be my whore you know either way works" Jake's cool exterior cracking as he lashed forward grabing Tifa's wrists with his iron grip.
This was enough to ignite Rei's extremely short fuse, as fast as lightning Rei had shoved Jake roughly against the cement wall. Nothing holding him back Rei felt himself bringing his fist backwards and drove it forward with brute strength and continued to repeat the same movements over and over, all his anger flowing out in a massive furry of punchs to Jake's head.
He didn't take them for long, driving his fist into Rei's unprotected abdomen, Rei pulled back catching his breath. Not having much time, Jake taking the oppertunity to attack Rei, brought his fist to Rei's face. Luckily for Rei's catlike reflexs he moved quickly to the side pulling away unharmed.
Tifa getting over the sudden shock of all the movement,ran forwards to get in between the two fighting boys, but was pulled back by two pairs of hands. Riona and Rikku holding her back, Tifa immediatly objecting with her actions , caused Kai and Tidus to intervene, " I need to stop this, Rei might get hurt!", Tifa complained trying to pull herself out of her friends' grasp.
" No were not letting you anywhere close to that monster anymore" Rikku said gripping tighter onto her friends arm.
" We wont let him put his filthy hands on you ever again "Riona added, nodding to Rikku.
"Listen don't you worry about Rei we'll help him " Kai said letting go, when he was sure the two ladies had a firm grip on the thrashing Tifa.
"Aww come on let her go, it wont be interesting if everyone stays back and watchs them duke it out " two mocking voices came out from the shadows, two girls in similar attire as Holly walked out, one with incredibly curly red hair looking much like a poodle and the other straight brown hair, her face round and cow like.
"Grrrrreeeeattt It's Misha and Betsy, what a surprise what joy it brings to the whole bright situation" Kenny said as he covered his face with his tiny hands.
Meanwhile Jake and Rei were both rolling around on the ground, neither was letting go of the other, there faces came close, Jake's mouth twisting into a smirk, which Rei wanted to whip off in an extremely painful manner.
" It must kill you Rei to know that I got to her first, and that in te end she'll end up being mine because I'm all so much better then you are", Jake said mockingly, Rei's yellow eyes turned a charp and angry yellow, his hands gripping Jakes head and slamming it several times into the hard floor.
" You wanna see more interesting we'll give you more interesting" Riona grinned side-glancing to Rikku, both of them letting go of a confused Tifa, they charged forward sending both poodle and cow through a 20 century year old tapestry, tearing a large hole through the middle.
Tifa turned to look at where Holly had gone off to but she was no where to be found, she huffed in dissapointment, but was soon caught off guard by a sudden voice on the intercom, everyone stopped there present movements, to listen.
" What in the blue moon?" Tyson said confused, looking up and about.
" Shut up Tyson I wanna hear!" Max swore covering Tyson's mouth with his hand.
" Well I'm sure it was quite a surprise seeing old faces now wasn't it" the voice blared through the main foyer, it was unrecognizable, clearly muffled on purpose so that they wouldn't catch on to who it was, " It also seem to hit a nerve in quite a few of you, but that's besides the point, I hope you people don't have short term memory because your going to have to think not to far in the past, the setting was the track meet. My dear Holly mentioned the Boss, well lucky for you people it is I. It took a few weeks to put our operation into full swing so that's why I'm only talking to you now. I'm here talking to you Bladebreakers inthe first place because i'm going to be nice, and warn you that something big is on the way, so get ready, actually no matter what your group comes up with it will be futile to try anything since there are so many people close to you involved that you'll be screwed either way, but see i'm blabing now, so I must stop, but I will see you sooner then you think, taw taw" the voice cut off suddenly leaving The Bladebreakers dumbfounded in place.
"What operation?"
" Close people in on it?"
"We can't do anything about what?"
"I'm confused" Tyson finished looking at his friends discouraged, his face changed expression though when he gazed around, seeing that Jake, Misha and Betsy were all gone.
"Great a mystery voice that we now know is the boss and everyone else splits" Tidus said breathlessly falling onto a nearby bench.
" Well at least we know something bad is going to happen " Kai said in a rather optimistic voice.
" Gee there's somthing to look forward to, in your near-by future you are screwed, grrrrreeeat " Riona said looking at her boyfriend skeptically.
" Well were going to analyze the situation and put the pieces together" Kenny said once again pulling out his laptop.
"What pieces we only have two, and that's the fact that there's a boss and that Holly, Jake and the bimbos are involved including people that are closer then we think, what the hell is that going to give us, not a location or any clue who the hell this boss guy looks like, so were just a bunch of sitting ducks" Rikku huffed out quickly, all everyone sitting in silence, listening intently to her rant.
" Well said Rikku " Riona nodded in agreement.
" So she does have a shred of intelligence, I am impressed, for once with your words" Kai said a mishevious grin growing as he spoke.
"Shut it Kai, we do not need another fight to break loose, I think we already have enough enemies outside our team, we don't need any inside the team now do we" Tidus spoke immediatly, before Rikku could utter a word.
Tifa had detached herself from the conversation her teamates were having, not really caring of what was to come, the future unimportant for her at that moment, her past had come back to haunt her, except it wasn't in dreams or anything out of a horror movie, the person was actually real. He had touched her, she had felt his breath on her face. She felt like her heart was going to tear into thousands of pieces, mostly out of greif and shame that Rei had to find out infront of everyone, and that she had actually been stupid enough to fall for his charms, yet he said he still loved her to this day. She shook her head sitting down on a stone step, slient tears streaming down her cheeks, she felt so bad for Rei who had to stand there and hear all those things from the people that she now hated the most.
Two hands touched her shoulders. She slowly turned her head to stare deep into those yellow intrancing spheres that Rei had for eyes. She wondered what he was thinking, was he angry, disappointed, did he not love her anymore, these thoughts rushing through her mind all of them halting to a stop when Rei suddenly kissed her, catching her completely off guard. He pulled away leaning his forhead against hers " Tifa, what he said doesn't matter to me , your the only thing that matters, and nothing could tear us apart, and I promise I'll protect you from him, he will never lay a finger on you again " he said gazing loveingly into her deep green eyes.
"You mean you aren't angry with me?" Tifa asked in an astonished voice, Rei chuckled lightly, running his hand up her cheek, removing a fallen strand of her silk-like hair,from her tearstreake face.
" It seems you didn't hear what I just said, maybe this will give you an answer" Rei said before pulling her in for a long and gratifying kiss.
" Funny how you two seem to not really care that the apocalypse is coming! " Tyson shreiked turning the corner, behind which Tifa and Rei were concealed.
" You bumbling retard Tyson, do you know what just happened or were your eyes closed the whole time, thats why we let them walk off they needed to talk asshole! " Rikku swore geting in Tyson's face her arms swinging dangerously close to his head.
" And the apocalypse is not coming we don't even know what it is this is all probably a big bluff" Kai said walking up to the tapestry that was now bearly intact, picking up a piece of the floor.
"Well whatever is happening it's retarded, and i'm guessing we don't have classes since well there is no students to go to classes, so I say everyone comes to my house! Since well we did promise that we would bring you to our humble homes, I guess I'll be the first one to invite" Riona said smiling at the group, taking Tifa's cell she dialed a number and warned the nanny that there would be company over in a not so nice manner.
" Alright everyone a limo should be coming for us in a few minutes so let's grab our stuff and split " Riona said running towards the locker area.
"Umm she seems overly happy to be going home" Rikku said rubbing the back of her head.
" I am too considering were leaving school early " Tifa smirked walking past her friend, walking in the same direction as Riona, hand in hand with Rei.
