Going All The Way!
A/N: Hello, one and all! I am here with another update! Yay! Last time Hakaru and Jackie have shown up in the swimsuit store and Zeta has stood up to them both. Hakaru has come up to her. This time Zeta wants to face Hakaru alone. Read and find out!
.: Chapter 36 :.
.: Part 2 :.
Zeta looked at Hakaru and he returned the glare. He looked at Jackie and grinned. He looked back at Zeta. The area was filled with silence, waiting for something to happen.
"No one, I repeat, no one talks to Jackie that way," Hakaru said. He pulled his hand back and hit Zeta across the face with the back of his hand. Zeta's cheek instantly turned red. She faced him again with a tear running down her cheek. "Now tell her where Tasara is. Which store?"
"No," Zeta said. Hakaru was getting frustrated now as he pulled his hand back again. Zane was about to help her when Zeta said;
"No, Zane."
"Huh?" he said.
"Hakaru is my problem and I don't want you getting involved. You were once, but not again. I'll be fine, Zane. Trust me on this." Zane turned his head and stepped back so he was with Bastian again.
"Brave," Hakaru said. "But that won't save you." He hit her again. Her cheek was now a deep red and she faced him again. More tears fell. Jackie was now tired of this and pushed Hakaru away. She grabbed Zeta by the shirt collar.
"Look, I don't have a bone to pick with you right now," she said. "But, Tasara on the other hand, still needs to learn her place. Where is she?"
". . . ." Zeta turned her head. Jackie used her other hand and made Zeta face her.
"Tell me now or- Agh!" Zeta saw that Acegik pushed Zeta out of the way and knocked Jackie back over to Hakaru. Acegik turned to Zeta.
"Are you okay?" he asked. Zeta nodded. He looked at Hakaru and Jackie again. "Well, well, well, it's you again, huh? Causing more trouble for Zeta? Unbelievable."
"Who is this guy?" asked Jackie.
"This is the jerk who made me leave," Hakaru said.
"Hmm," Acegik said. "Jackie; Ra yellow student; only person to beat Tasara Karasumi in a one-on-one martial arts match. Rumor has it that you cheated though. You are also failing two classes I believe? Heh."
"This guys information network is really something," Diana thought.
"Cheat? Ha! She lost fair and square! I bet she is scared to face me because of that broken arm I gave her," Jackie said.
"Oh really?" he said. "I'm surprised that you only broke her arm. When you landed on her you should have broken her whole rib cage, you fat ass."
"Hakaru, did you hear what he just said to me!" Jackie complained.
"I sure did," Hakaru said. Zane ran up to Zeta and pulled her away from the 'danger zone'. Zeta held onto Zane's arm as Acegik and Hakaru glared at each other.
"Why does he always appear out of nowhere?" Bastian thought.
"I'll take care of him," Hakaru said. He threw a punch at Acegik, but he grabbed Hakaru's fist. He then hit Hakaru in the stomach with his knee. Hakaru fell to the floor, gasping for breath. Diana got out her cell phone and called Tasara.
- - - -
"Hello?" Tasara said. She was blocking Chazz's kick.
"Tasara!"
"Diana?" Tasara asked. Chazz hit her in the stomach and she fell over. Chazz caught the cell phone.
"What's up?" he asked. Tasara kicked him in the side and she got her cell phone back.
"Well?" she asked.
"We're having a little problem here at the mall," Diana said. "J-a-c-k-i-e."
"That bitch is at the mall?" she asked.
"And Hakaru," Diana said. "He hit Zeta twice, Acegik hit him, and Jackie is demanding to know where you are."
"Interesting," Tasara said, her foot on Chazz's chest. "OUCH!" Chazz knocked her off of him and he grabbed her cell.
"We'll be there in ten minutes," Chazz said.
"Uh. . .okay," Diana said, hanging up. Tasara tackled Chazz to get her cell phone back.
- - - -
"Chazz and Tasara will be here in ten minutes," Diana said, putting her cell phone in her purse. "God, hope they bring a first aid kit."
"Or an ambulance," Bastian said.
"You (cough) bastard," Hakaru said. He got up, holding his stomach. Acegik grabbed his shirt collar and was about to hit him again.
"Stop it!" Zeta shouted, getting in between Acegik and Hakaru.
"Eh?" Acegik said, lowering his fist. "Why are you protecting this asshole? He hurt you and Jackie has mocked you. That kind of behavior cannot go unpunished."
"Just stop," Zeta said. "I don't want you sinking down to his level, Acegik. Just stop it." Acegik took one step back and put his hands up in front of him.
"Okay, Zeta," he replied. "I'll stop as long as Hakaru agrees to stop bothering you and Zane."
"Like I'd ever agree to that, AceGEEK!"
"I'M GONNA KILL HIM!" Bastian and Zane held Acegik back as he tried to rip Hakaru's head off.
"Zeta!" someone shouted. Serenity hugged Zeta and then looked at her cheek. "Oh man. Good thing we brought a First Aid kit!" Maven, Tasara, Kunsi, Chazz, and Maven appeared out of nowhere and smiled at everyone (except Tasara).
"Ha! There you are, Tasara!" Jackie said, pointing to Tasara.
"Well, well, well," Tasara snapped, glaring at Jackie. "I heard that you were tormenting my friends."
"Since when did you ever care about anyone besides yourself and Cho?" Jackie said. "I heard that he passed away."
"Shut up," Tasara snapped. Maven handed Zeta and ice pack and she placed it on her cheek. Hakaru looked over at Zane as Acegik started to calm down.
"You may be the big shot in school, but you are nothing outside of it," Hakaru said. "You may have gotten me last time, but you'll never get me a-!"
"Zeta!" Zane said. Hakaru put his hand on his cheek and looked at Zeta, who had just punched him across the face.
"No one talks about my friends that way," she said. "The people that cause others pain is a nobody. They want to feel big by making others feel small. Do you take pride in that? Do you, Hakaru? When I met you, you were so nice, but now that I see the real you. . .I have to wonder. . .where did the Hakaru I knew go off to?"
"What if I was to tell you he never existed?" he said, rubbing his cheek.
"Then I say you're a liar," Zeta said. She walked away from Hakaru, but Jackie tried to get a free shot at Zeta. Tasara ran in front of Zeta and grabbed both of Jackie's hands like they were playing mercy.
"Nice try, but not good enough," Tasara smirked.
"Bitch," Jackie growled.
"I hate you too," Tasara said, he grin still in place. "How about a rematch, Jackie? That is what you want right?"
"I want nothing less," Jackie said.
"Good, it'll be held in the Obelisk Blue duel arena," Tasara said. "Nine o' clock tonight. Invite all your friends, if you have any." Jackie and Tasara let go of each other and walked over to their friends.
"So it is settled," Jackie said. "Nine o' clock tonight. But what does the winner get."
"Whoever wins can call themself the best martial arts fighter," Tasara said. "And by the way, no cheating." Hakaru and Jackie walked out of the store and the woman that worked there walked up to Zane and the others.
"Are you alright?" she asked Zeta.
"I'm fine." Serenity took a bandage out of the first aid and placed it on the red area. "Is that really necessary? It's only a slap mark."
"You'll never know," Kunsi said. "Your cheek was so red we couldn't tell if you were bleeding or not." Zeta smiled at her friends.
"I think this school year has gotten very interesting," BP smiled.
"I'll say," Chazz mumbled. Tasara started to walk away when Diana put a hand on her shoulder.
"You know that she will find a way to break your arm, leg, or any part of your body to make you forfeit," she said. "You still wanna go through with this?"
"Yup," Tasara said. "Last time it was just a broken arm. No big deal." Tasara walked out of the store, all of her friends walking behind.
"Damn, Tasara," Acegik said. "You are too laid back."
