Bempi: yup. this is chapter three. and yes. there is one kissing scene in this one. not an amazing one, but a kiss none the less...weeeeee enjoy!

Chapter 3

BEEEEP BEEP BEEP BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-! Raimundo rolled over, groaning and slapped his hand on the sideboard clock. He sat up and looked around. He spotted Jack looking at himself in the wardrobe mirror doing his tie.

"Moooorning" Rai 'greeted' (AN: so that is what you call it Rai? Sheesh)

Jack looked over to his roommate and smiled. "hey. You'd better get ready; you only got 5 minutes till food"

"AHHH! Oh, wait, why are you wearing a tie and stuff?"

"Helloooo? School uniform!" Jack sighed and went to his drawer. "I take it you aint got one?"

Rai shook his head and caught the stuff. "borrow mine for now" Jack left and went to the bathroom.

Rai put Jacks uniform on and stared at himself. "Hey! Jack! Why are these so baggy!" He yelled to the other room.

"I used to be really fat!" Jack called back. Rai looked stumped and jack walked in, wearing his eye make-up. "what? I comfort ate and got HUGE, but then I stopped eating and got really thin…and…well…yeah…here I am now" (AN: Hard to imagine fat spicer ne?)

Rai nodded and got his already packed bag. "Let's go then"

Breakfast hall 7: 03 AM

"Finally! Why the hell is our room so damn far away?" Rai panted.

"Because fate hates us. Duh" Jack replied in the same state as Raimundo.

"Howdy partners!" Clay yelled from a few tables away.

"Hi clay!" Rai dragged a blushing jack to the table. "Whassap dude?"

"Nuddin. Just waitin' for food" (1)

"Cool" Rai sat down, yanking the STILL blushing Jack onto the seat next to him.

"Hiya jack! How are you?" Kimiko grinned. Jack stayed silent and looked at his shoes. Kim's grin faltered and was replaced with a little bit of worry. "Whats up Jack?" He just shook his head.

"Hiiii!" They all looked to their right and saw a blonde girl bounding their way. She stopped in front of them. "You guys are new right? Well, im Mel and I just thought I'd introduce myself to such cute guys" She winked at Rai, who ignored her and looked at Jack. She noticed the red-head.

"Ugh, why are YOU sitting with these poor people? Don't you irritate people enough WITHOUT trying?" She said, sounding purely disgusted, "I mean, seriously," she looked to Omi and the others, "if you value your reputation and your HEALTH, you'll kick this freak to the curb before he destroys your social status"

"The only threat to our 'social status' is speaking to YOU" Kimiko shot at her, glaring daggers.

"You'll regret saying that" Mel threatened.

"And HOW? Your wimpy, lame assed boyfriend? As if Mel." Jack rested his chin in his hand.

"You'll see how 'wimpy' he is when he brokes every bone in your body!"

"Brokes?" Jack sniggered at the girls' lack of grammar (Not even IM that bad).

"Yeah! 12:00! Under the willow! Be there-"

"or be round" Jack grinned smugly. Mel stomped off. Rai looked to jack, surprised that he'd actually said something. Then he looked to the rest of the dining hall, and saw kids placing bets on the fight already.

"Are you actually going to fight him?" Omi asked. Jack just nodded and ran a hand through his hair (don't forget, his goggles broke).

"like I have a choice"

Lunch time. 11:59

Jack sat under the old willow, leaning back on his hands and staring at the leaves. 'Where are Rai and the others?' He silently wondered.

"Hey! Girly boy!" Mel and her boyfriend strutted up to him.

'Well, here we go!'

6:70 PM

"Ehhhh. I CANNOT believe I got detention on the first day!" Rai groaned as he walked into his room. "And to make it worse, I missed the WHOLE of lunch" He dumped his bag on the floor next to his bed. "hey, jack, how'd the fight go…?" Raimundo trailed off as he saw Jack lying on his back, his shirt covered in blood.

"jeez dude, you beat him up so bad that you actually got his blood on you?"

"You actually think this is HIS blood?" Jack looked to Rai. Rai gasped at the vacant look in Jacks eyes. Then it hit him. That was JACKS blood. (my, my, Rais a little slow today. Ne?)

"Shit Jack!" Rai almost ran over to him. "Are you okay?" Jack shook his head, which did nothing for his head ache.

"The asshole got his friends to gang up on me" Rai helped jack sit up.

"So, what happened?"

"Well…"

Flashback

"Hey! Girly boy!" Mel and her boyfriend, Aaron walked over to him. Jack looked up to them, and then stood up. "You ready bitch?" Aaron smirked.

"As ready as I'll ever be" Jack sighed. So it began. It was a simple high school fight at first. A few punches, kicks and some grappling. That was, until a crowd began to gather and egg them on. Most were cheering for Aaron, and jack had about five supporters.

Jack saw an opening and punched Aaron in the stomach, making him fall on the floor. Jack dusted himself down and went to leave.

"Hey!" Aaron gasped out, "It's not over yet! Guys!" Jack was blocked buy some jocks grabbing his arms. They held him upright and let a now standing Aaron use him as a punching bag. They let Jack drop to the ground and most of the crowd ended up having a turn on him as well.

End flashback

Rai looked troubled. "That's just not right"

"Well, that's how this school works. The more mates you have, the larger the chance of you actually surviving"

"Are your wounds dressed?" Jack shook his head again, this time, actually wincing from pain. "Then we'll have to dress them now." Rai got up and went to the bathroom. "Take off your top!" He yelled to let jack hear.

Jack Blushed and interesting shade of red as he unbuttoned his shirt and slid it off his shoulders (AN:Gets buckets for readers: Hey! I don't want you drooling on the story!).

Rai came back in with plasters, bandages and a wet cloth. He blushed instantaneously when he saw Jack, but tried to hide it. Kneeling down, he grabbed Jacks wrist and began washing his arms.

Kimikos' room 7: 05PM

Kimiko walked into her room. She scouted the room for something. What was that something you ask? Well, it was her new roommate. She hadn't shown up the previous night because she had missed the bus.

"Hi…" Kimiko jerked her head round for the source of the voice.

"um…hello…" Kimiko felt a tug at her skirt and she looked down to see her new roommate. She was a short Japanese girl with brown hair in a ponytail and was wearing a long t-shirt and pair of jeans.

"Are you Kimiko?" Kimiko nodded. "Hello. I am Pandora" her voice was quiet and shy.

"Hello Pandora. Nice to meet you" Kimiko knelt down and shook her hand. "You know, you'd get along really well with my friend, Omi"

"omi…"

With Clay and Omi 7:10

"Hey lil' partner" Clay threw his bag on the bed and looked to his friend. "Omi? You okay?"

All he received was a dream-like sigh. Clay knew what that meant. "Who's the girl ya like then?"

Omi snapped from his daze and blinked. "I like no girl"

"Yeah ya do buddy"

"fine, I do" Omi sulked. "She is a girl in my literacy class. Pandora Mazuka" (Taro: Hey! That's MY last name! BEMPI!)

Meanwhile, with Jack and Raimundo, things were slightly different…

Rai and Jack. 7:35PM

"owwww" Jack hissed as Rai cleaned the last wound on his upper left arm.

"stop whining jack"

"It aint my fault that your so rough!" Rai blushed. 'bad images!' He shook his head to clear the thoughts.

"are you okay Rai?" the brunette raised his head to look into worried ruby orbs.

"im…fine" Rai replied through half lidded eyes. He began to lean up to jacks face.

"Are you sure? 'cause your cheeks are all red" Rai couldn't take anymore. Jack looked too cute at that precise moment with his hair down, looking slightly flushed; he looked almost glowing with his white skin in comparison to his black sheets, not to mention he was topless...

"I said im fine" Rai leaned in even closer and let his lips brush across the other boys' lips. Jacks eyes widened and his face turned a deep scarlet colour.

'hmm' Rai thought 'if just one touch can do that, I wonder what would happen if…' The next thing he knew, he had jack pinned beneath him. He leant down to jack and captured his lips with his own (YAY! RaiXJackness!).

Jack gave a small whimper of shock but soon found himself adjusting to it. He wrapped his arms around the wind dragons' neck and allowed his eyes to slip closed. Rai slipped an arm around Jacks waist and pulled him closer for more contact, whilst the other hand snaked its way into his hair.

Rai nipped on jacks bottom lip, earning himself a gasp. Taking the opportunity, he darted his tongue into the mouth of his newfound crush. Jack gave a small muffled moan as the tongue hit spots that sent shivers down his spine.

Unfortunately, the need for air arose and they reluctantly broke apart. Rai looked down at jack whilst jack looked up at Rai, both flushed and out of breath.

"Ahem" They looked to the door and saw a girl with dyed green hair, a prefect, grinning at them. "you're supposed to be in bed… but they never said WHOSE bed." She giggled. "Don't let anyone else see you doing that" She laughed and shut the door.

"It's amazing how different prefects can be" Rai mumbled, obviously talking about the girl the night before. He looked back to Jack, who was blinking profusely. Suddenly realising what he had just done, he jumped off the bed. "uh…!"

Jack blushed furiously, also remembering what had just happened. "Um…Rai…what was…"

"Nothing. Just drop it." Rai raised a hand and got into bed.

Jack sat up and death-glared Raimundo, "No! I can't 'just drop it'!"

"I said drop it!" Rai spat out a lot more harshly than he wanted to. Jack visibly winced at the tone in the voice of the boy opposite him. Rai looked to redhead and almost gasped when he saw the sad look in his eyes. He looked even more upset than he was on the bus. "Listen, Jack…"

"No, you're right, I should just let it go" Jack sighed and lay down on his bed. "I should have known it didn't mean anything. like those others…" He added with a whisper, hoping that Rai didn't hear.

But he did, andrai felt worse than ever.

Bempi: awwww poor rai! and poor jack too!

Rai: Review and you get a free plushie!
