8. Leaders Will Always Be Leads

Dealing with adult life, the loss of parents, friends falling out, injuries and hurt is all hard to bare. Add tests and the growing age of sixth form and Daemon Heights is what your outcome is. The Bandits and the Demolition Boys are all going through hell at 'Hell Hole Heights' and dealing with it differently. Will they get over their pasts, graduate and find love, or will the trash can at the bottom of the road be easier for them? Its not easier being 18 and hiding things from your friends is not the option you can take without digging yourself further into your deep secrets and pasts. Mostly Kai/OC, lots of OC/OC and implied Ray/Mariah and Tyson/Hilary.

Disclaimer: I only own the Triagons, Cassy, Elisa, Sabre, Leo, The Bandits, The town, the Mansions, Dojos, Houses, Horses, other Animals, Bit-beasts and Daemon Heights along with all the teachers and different people you have never heard of before virtually…I own a gold mine. The plots mine too.

Kai Pheonica Thank you again for your review. I just thought that the last chapter was a bit boring but I'm glad you didn't think so, I'm also glad you found it amusing, that's a score for my rubbish humour. (Draws a line on a blackboard, 'Rubbish Humour 1, No Humour –38') And your other review mainly changed my idea I already had; it should blend in with the chap it's in (a good few from now, I haven't written it in anything other than the plot right now). Anyway, thanks again, hopefully this will be a good chapter too. Hopefully.

NEEDED: Hello all readers. I am struggling for new Character ideas, and guess what, I'm calling on you. You heard me. You. Could you please Review in and tell me about your male OC. Basically he's going to be a street blader so has to look and act tough. Oh, and I might need to change his appearance just a bit, he has to have red shark fins on his cheeks.

What you need to do

Review in and tell me:

Name, (and nickname, preferably a Cat name eg Mountain lion or something)

Age, (anything from 16 –21)

Looks, (Height, hair, eye colour, you know what I mean)

Acts, (He's a street blader remember)

Beyblade looks, (just the colours and shape)

Bit-Beast, (umm, a cat beats would be preferable too)

Anything Else, (just anything extra you want me to know, eg pasts)

I'm sorry for sounding pussy with that, but it has to kinda fit in with what I've got planned. I only need one or two so the first few in probably have a better chance. If any come that is. Anyway, I look forward to your ideas. They wont be in here for a while but I'm going to need to draw out what I think they should look like so I can refer to it. Sorry again. And of course I'll give you the credit for it, and try to make him as close to what you think as possible. Thanks in advanced.

Whoa, really long rave from me. So now I gotta give you the chap. Enjoy.


''Now, this year we are performing another play in front of the school in a few months time.'' Mrs Rodent said. She had short cut mousey brown hair and big front teeth making her look a bit like a rabbit. But surprisingly she was known as 'Rat face' or 'Mousey' to the sixth form students, moreover, the school in general, not 'bunny'.

''What play Mrs Rodent?'' Ray asked raising his hand. Sixth form now sat on their butts before the standing Drama teacher. She held scripts in her hands and had an almost sinister grin on her face.

''That, dear Ray, is for me to know and you to find out shortly.'' She said. ''Now, guess.'' She said. Everyone immediately started yelling out.

''Macbeth.''

''The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.''

''That one where that says 'I don't think I'm in Kansas anymore'.''

''Jack and the Bean Stalk.''

''Cinderella.''

''Snow White.''

''Sleeping Beauty.''

''Space Invaders.'' The class went quiet and all turned to Tyson.

''Space Invaders?'' Kat questioned, breaking the silence.

''What? I couldn't think of anything else.'' Tyson said shrugging and everybody laughed before the quoting began again.


''If it's anything Shakespeare I'm doomed.'' Cassy said over the noise.

''Yeah, old Shaky confuses moi.'' Elisa agreed with her friend as the group sat at the back of the classroom.

''No wonder, that's French Elisa, not Shakespeare.'' Leo laughed.


''Maybe it's Romeo and Juliet?'' Tala said.

''It better not be, the damn teacher always gives me the main part for some reason.'' Kai said sitting next to him with crossed arms and legs.

''It's because you're good Kai. Really good.'' Spencer said. Kai just huffed.

''I don't want to be Romeo.''


''I am not being Juliet.'' Kat and Ry said in one voice after the subject of 'Is it Romeo and Juliet' entered their conversation. They turned to each other and laughed.

''I guess we both don't like the part we have to play then.'' Ry asked. Kat shook her head.

''Most of the time I get given, more like forced to do, the main female part. And Mr Hiwatari gets male lead. Luckily drama up until now hasn't been kissy kissy but if it is Romeo and Juliet I'm doomed.'' Kat said. Ry nodded but didn't say anything. Kissing Kai in a play. Hummm. (I'd do it. Bounces around like a crazed bunny).

''Ok, enough.'' The teacher yelled and settled the class again. ''This year's spring play will be…'' The teacher paused smirking at the anxious looks on the teen's faces. ''William Shakespeare's…Romeo and Juliet.'' Groans were heard from the back of the room and the teacher saw both Kai and Kat fall over or cover their faces. The rest of the class however looked pleased.

''Now, I'll give out scripts as I decided over the summer holidays who would play who. Some of you will be able to help with costume design and props but most will be in the play. Drama club pupils from the lower years will help backstage as well and Music class will do the singing choir and such.'' She said and then cleared her throat and started on a long list of characters and who were playing them.

Kat groaned and sat up again.

''Damn, has she given Juliet to anyone yet?'' She asked. The Bandits shook their heads.

''Juliet will be played by…''

''Here we go again.'' Kat muttered.

''Kat Triagon…or Ry Mayaga.'' The teacher said. The two in question looked puzzled.

''But Mrs Rodent, there's only one Juliet.'' Kat questioned.

''Yes, I know but you were going to get the part until I was sent Ry's report card for Drama. She is as good as you it seems so you two will have to fight for the main roll.'' The teacher smirked giving the pair their scripts. Kat looked at Ry.

''Its all yours Ry, take it and don't even think of giving it back, I'm staying back stage this year.'' She said pushing her script into Rys hands.

''What, no, you have it, I only have the part because I took it off of you.'' Ry said handing Kat her script back. Kat didn't take it, forcing Rys goodwill to keep the paper in her palms.

''Now, now you two. We'll have a little 'show down' once I've given Romeo a person and then we'll see who gets the part.'' The teacher said, watching with a glint in her eyes. ''Now.'' She called. ''Last but not least, Romeo will played by…'' She paused and looked in the direction of the Demolition Boys. ''Kai Hiwatari.'' Kai couldn't surpass the groan on his lips.

''Lucky bugger Kai, getting to kiss either Ry or Kat hum.''

''Shut it Tala.'' Kai spat grabbing the script from the teacher and resisting the urge to rip it up.

''Oh come on Kai, your gonna have to ask…''

''No I don't and I won't.'' He said stalking off to the other side of the classroom to read his script.

''Now, the rest of you, over to me and I'll give your jobs. Everyone else practise for the rest of the lesson and I want Ry, Kat and Kai to stay behind later for a minute or two please.'' The three in question groaned but began to practise.


''Now, as your new. Ry you go first.'' Mousey said. Ry nodded and smiled. That was the second time she'd had to go first because of being new. But this time she had a plan figured out instead of some on the spot balding.

She'd figured out her plan whilst practising. Because the report card only said she was good she could act really badly because this teacher didn't know that she was actually any good. Kat on the other hand was known well by this teacher so couldn't get away with it. Ry had decided that she didn't want the part; she'd only ever acted in front of small crowds, like of a class, not a thousand of the school. Plus Kat liked Kai and it would give them an opportunity to 'get to know each other better'. Ry smirked at the thought. Even if she herself liked the Russian she was willing to make sacrifices to her team Captain, it was the least he could do. And let's just say her likes had changed slightly.

''Let's start on that famous line. Page 34, line 15 please Ry.'' The teacher said. Finding her page Ry called out from the stage on which she stood to the teacher at the back of the hall.

''Romeo, Romeo, where fore art thou Romeo?'' She said quietly and sloppily, looking at her script the whole time.

''Now, now dear, with grades like this you should be doing better. Do it again and Kat and Kai get off of the stage please.'' The two walked to the edge of the stage like they'd been told to as Ry stood in the spot light. The black haired English girl did the same as before. The teacher looked uneasy, not really knowing what to say. Her lower years could do better, but little did she know, that's what Ry wanted.

''Now Kat, up you come.''

''Mrs, can I just ask? Why am I here?'' Kai called up to the teacher.

''You're here so you can help me choose the Juliet character if I can't myself, you are the one playing her lover after all.'' Kai grimaced but nodded.

''Now Kat, when you're ready.'' Kat tried the same technique as Ry. The teacher shook her head.

''If I'm not mistaken young Triagon, you are trying to sound bad are you not?'' Kat growled although the teacher didn't see her screw her face up in annoyance and couldn't hear the feral sound. ''If you don't want the part you can back out you know?'' Kat shook her head, frowning still in annoyance. If there was one thing she didn't do it was turn down a challenge or back out of anything. ''Now, again, but louder, clearer and with lots more enthusiasm this time please.'' Kat nodded and drew breath.

''Romeo, Romeo, where fore art thou Romeo.'' Her last word echoed slightly around eth grand hall before the teacher applauded.

''I'm very sorry Ry but Juliet needs someone with more enthusiasm, even if it takes time for her to reach that point. Kat Triagon. You are now Juliet.'' Kat smiled up at the teacher, it was a fake smile, before glaring at Ry across the stage who smirked. ''Now, go home and learn your lines. Ry you will be helping costumes back stage. I'll give you a work sheet on it next week. Now be gone with you.'' Ry beamed and disappeared before Kat's glare could pierce her for a second longer and the teacher was also gone before two seconds had past from her spoken words. Seeing no-one else to glare at, Kat turned to Kai, btu of course her glare was immediately lost.

''Romeo.'' She said smiling, eyebrows raised.

''Juliet.'' Kat suddenly burst out laughing and Kai just chuckled.

''This happens every flipping year we have to do a play.'' Kat laughed. Kai nodded before sighing.

''Your carriage awaits you, mi'lady.'' He said offering her his arm jokily.

''That sounds more Cinderella than Romeo and Juliet.'' Kat said. Kai just raised an eyebrow and Kat laughed lightly.

''Oh, Romeo, I love you so.'' Kat said taking his arm and putting on a lovey dovey voice as they walked off of the stage laughing.

Ry popped her head from behind the velvet red fabric of the curtain. They haven't even practised together yet and they already are laughing and getting along. Wow. I should play matchmaker more often. But first, research on Kai. To Tala I fly.


Tala growled as he threw the P.E kit back into his locker, it had just fallen out of it, again, like it always did. He'd been doing this for the past minute or so and now the corridor was virtually empty of bodies. The bell had rung a few minutes earlier so everyone had gone home already. Leaving Tala and his stupid P.E kit alone…together…no-one else around……the red head could swear the bag was laughing.

''Tala.'' He growled and slammed the locker shut, hoping to crush the invisible lips of the kit and shut up it's taunting. This time the P.E kit didn't fall out. He sighed and relaxed. The locker burst open and out flew all of his P.E kit, sprawled across the corridor at his feet, laughter rang in his ears. He growled and went to pick it up to find it already being folded up and put away for him. He watched as the locker was shut and locked and, this time, it didn't burst open when he sighed or relaxed. The boy sighed again, and again, just to check. His fifth sigh was interrupted…

''Tala.''

''What? Huh?'' He turned to the girl that had spoken his name. He looked upon the back haired and brown-eyed girl, he recognised her as one of the two new kids, one of which was now in his team, and she seemed to have settled in just as easily with the Bandits. ''Hey, your Kitty's friend, Ry, aren't you?'' Ry nodded, her confused expression to the boy's strange actions forgotten.

''Wow, the great Tala knows my name.'' She said sarcastically. ''Now, I'm here about Kai.''

''So you like him too, let's add your name to the adoring obsessive freak girls list.'' The spiky red head said taking out a piece of invisible paper from his pocket.

''I don't, Tala, that's not what I'm here for. And besides, I'm not an 'adoring obsessive freak girl' at all, let alone over him.'' Denial seemed to work for the black haired girl this time.

''Oh.'' The paper disappeared. ''So why?''

''Do you know…'' She paused.

''The muffin man, yeah, lives down Duryea lane, a few blocks from my house, he does the best chocolate muffins.'' Ry just smirked.

''Idiot. I was going to ask.'' She lowered her tone. ''Do you know who Kai fancies?'' Tala raised an eyebrow.

''And why would one of kitty's friends need to know that?'' Ry paused.

''So I can help 'kitty'.''


(Laughing P.E kit, I've gone mad. Absolutely loony bin crazy. You must know the feeling though, when a lost sock evades the wash or something, and it just seems to mock you as it sits in the middle of your room, laughing, laughing at your stupidity, that you've been beaten my a simple sock. (Wails) Big red eyes scary. (Wakes up) Heh, anyway, Review please and don't forget to leave your OC please; I'm just going to go and get my pills for the institution down the road, be back soon.
