Chapter:6 Unusual

Yumi went down to get breakfast ready when she passed by Reaver just sitting on the couch staring at the wall.

"Are you ok there Reaver?" she asked. "Huh? Oh yeah I'm ok." He got up and walked into the kitchen. "Need any help, Yumi?" he asked.

"Do you know how to make Ramen?" she questioned. "Uh... a little i think." Yumi smiled but shook her head and watched him sit back down on the couch.

"Here, let me help you with those handcuffs." Yumi walked over to him and undid the handcuffs but put them back on, so that they were in front of him instead of behind his back.

"Thanks, Yumi." Yumi walked back into the kitchen and whipped up breakfast.

She had just got done when her parent's and little brother walked in. "Do you like my daughter, Dante?" Mr. Ishyama whispered to him. "Er...she's nice but i don't like her like that."

As they sat down Reaver swore he heard Mr. Ishyama say "Pity..." They ate quietly and to Yumi's surprise Reaver knew how to use chopsticks.

"Ok you two time for school." said Mrs. Ishyama as she handed Yumi her backpack. "Arigato, bye mom bye dad!" she said walking Reaver out the door. "Bye, Mr. and Mrs. ishyama!"

"Bye Dante."

Reaver and Yumi walked to school but when they reached it the principal met Reaver. "Young man, where's your muzzle?" "Oh goddamnit." said Reaver as Yumi put it back

on him. "Oh, and by the way, you'll need to wear this." He handed Reaver a choker chain and a leash. "...Your kidding right?" Dante asked

"Afraid not." said the principal as he walked away. "Oh I don't believe this!" said Reaver as he slid on the choker chain collar and connected the leash.

Yumi burst out laughing. "You--You-- AHAHAHH You look like a dog! AHAHA!" Reaver just growled at her to make her laugh harder.

Yumi then took hold of the leash, still laughing, and led him to the gang. "Grrr... is all this really neccasary?" Reaver growled to himself as the other's started laughing.

"Oh and Reaver," began the principal, then he took off Reaver's handcuffs but then cuffed Reaver's left hand to Yumi's right hand. "ok that's it goodbye." said the principal as

he walked off. Yumi and Reaver looked at each other then at the handcuffs then back at each other. "This is gonna be a looong day." sighed Dante as he and Yumi tried to

walk without pulling the other one along.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mrs. Hertz class.

"Please take your seats, class." Reaver and Yumi sat beside each other still fumbling with the handcuffs. "Alright class, today you will start your projects!" said Mrs. Hertz

as she passed out pillows with faces on them. "These 'babies' need 24 hour care every day and night. You will pair up and take care of your 'baby'." Everyone got up to pair

up. Zen paired up with Emily, Odd with Sam, Ulrich with Yumi, Logan with Kalee, JB with Amanda, and Jeremy with Aelita. Reaver just stayed sitting down so he didn't

find a partner. "I see Reaver and Sissy are playing hard to get." Mrs. Hertz commented. The class laughed. "Ok you two, you'll work together," she said as she handed the baby to Sissy. "Have fun!" RINNNNG.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reaver and Yumi both had a 'baby' and were still handcuffed when they got to her house. Her parent's weren't home and Hiroki was staying at a friend's.

They got in and fell on the couch. "I hate these stupid handcuff's." commented Dante. Yumi took them off but put them on Reaver again when he took off the collar and leash. "Why do I have to wear them here?" asked Reaver. "I don't know so I'll take them off for you." Yumi took them off just as Reaver's cell phone rang.

-----------------------------------------------------

Reaver's cell phone conversation.

"Hello?" (reaver)

"Hello Mr. Belpois" (X.A.N.A)

"Er.. hello Xavier"

"I see you have the perfect oppurtunity to kill that young girl."

"Errr yeah I'll do that tomorrow...ok bye!"

Reaver hung up.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Reality...lol) 3 p.m.

Reaver placed his cell back in his pocket when Yumi asked him, "Who was it, Dante?"

"Oh uhh... my boss, I sometimes work at a carwash. Hehe."

Yumi nodded motioning she understood and then looked around the living room.

"Hmmm, well no one's home...what do you want to do?"

Reaver looked at her but then his cell rang again. "Hello!" Reaver held the phone away from his ear as yelling and cursing could be heard. "Ok..OK! I'll be there in a minute dad!" Reaver hung up and said "got to go" to Yumi and left.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reaver's foster dad's house.

--------

Reaver knocked on the door of the house. The door opened and he was pulled inside.

"WHERE THE FUCKING HELL HAVE YOU BEEN BOY?" His foster dad yelled while twisting his arm.

"Ahh ahhh i was at my friends house dad!"

"WELL, YOU'RE PAST YOUR CURFEW, BOY, AND NOW YOU'LL PAY FOR IT!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At half past 7:00 p.m. Dante got back to the Ishyama's but he had on a different shirt. It was a long shirt with long sleeve's that made sure his whole arm was covered.

He walked in noticing the light's were still on. "Reaver where have you been?" asked Yumi,"You've been gone for 4 hours!" (A/N: her parents still weren't home.)

"Umm...I had to help my dad with...something." he replied hesitantly. Yumi looked at his new shirt. "Why'd you change you shirt?"

"Ummmmm...I got my shirt dirty." he said almost questiongly.

Yumi nodded,"You wanna watch a movie?"

"Sure what is it?" asked Reaver.

"Wolfe creek" siad Yumi as she put the DVD in and sat on the couch.

Reaver turned off the light when the movie started and sat down next to Yumi.

Whenever something scary or gruesome happened, Yumi would look away and cuddle against Reaver, making him blush.

She would also grab onto his arm, making him wince in pain.

At 9:00 the movie was over and Yumi took it out, just as her Mom walked in.

"Hey, Yumi and Dante, were you watching a movie?" said Mrs. Ishyama.

"Uh huh." said Yumi brightly.

"Well, time for bed you two."

Yumi started up the stairs, "Goodnight Dante."

"Night Yumi."

Yumi walked up the stairs and dissapeared upstairs.

Reaver then collapsed on the couch and almost instantly regretted it.

He landed on his right arm and whimpered in pain. He lifted up his sleeve to reveal several bad bruises.

He pulled his sleeve down and tried to sleep on his back.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Morning. 5:30 am.

Reaver suddenly woke up in great pain. He had turned in his sleep to his left arm.

He pulled up his left sleeve to find it battered and beaten worse than his right arm.

He heard Yumi coming down so he pulled down his sleeve and sat up.

"Hey Reaver, you sleep ok?" she asked.

"Yeah, great." he lied.

She sat down next to him and looked into his eye's.

"Reaver, are you feeling alright?" she asked him, looking into his eye's intently.

"Err, yes," he lied,"Why do you ask?"

Yumi looked away, knowing he lied to her twice. "Just wondering, come on let's get to school early. Jeremy said he got the whole 'William thing' starightend out so no more cuffs."

Reaver smiled and got up and followed Yumi out the door.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

School. 5:44 a.m.

As soon as they got to school Reaver ran into his and Zen's room to change.

Yumi went to go find Ulrich and Odd.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"He beat you again, didn't he?" asked Zen when Reaver changed his long shirt for a longer one.

"Yeah, but don't worry about it." said Reaver confidently.

Zen shook his head, knowing he should help his friend, but decided not to.

"But, don't tell ANYONE about this especially not Yumi, i don't want them to worry alright?" asked Reaver.

"Got it." said Zen as they walked to the gang in time for breakfast.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Breakfast. 5:50 a.m.

As Odd began Wolfing down his thrid serving, Reaver just stared off into space.

"What do you think, Dante?" asked Ulrich snapping him out of his thought's

"Err i'm sorry what were you saying?" he said

"Nevermind." sighed Ulrich.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Gym Class. 11:00 a.m.

"Alright, boys and girl's, were going to do a little running exercise because running...is umm..good for you. yeah that's it, ok first up Dante, Yumi, and Aelita, your up for the 300 yard dash."Jim said.

They all got ready and on Jim's whistle ran as hard as they could. Aelita was winning with Dante and Yumi tied.

Aelita won and Dante and Yumi were still tied.

It was really hot and Reaver went behind the building to take off his long over shirt for a few seconds.

Yumi went over to him, but as soon as hse saw him she froze.

His arms, back, and chest were badly bruised and cut.

Dante looked at her and froze too.
