3.Can I Trust You:

"Get off me, you bastard!" yelled Hoshi. Kai just ignored her and pressed his lips against hers. Kira just stayed still in her mind, not seeing where she was. Suddenly, a silver wolf and a black cat appeared behind her. 'Kira, what has happened to you?' asked the cat.

'I don't want to be used again.' 'You're a coward, wake up and help yourself! Hoshi has been trying to help you, but you're so worried about yourself that she's suffering 'cause of you!' said the wolf.

Something inside Kira snapped, and she woke up to find Rei pulling her jeans off. "Get off her, you bastard!" she heard Hoshi yell. Kira turned her head and found Kai kissing her. 'She's been helping me and putting herself in danger for me. Why?' Kira thought.

Suddenly, she felt Rei's lips on her stomach. She shivered at his touch. She couldn't take it anymore. "Get off me!" She then kicked his crotch. Kira grabbed her jeans and shirt, putting them on. She then turned to Hoshi and found that her friend was having trouble getting Kai off.

Kira ran over to Hoshi. Hoshi managed to break away from Kai's kiss. "Get off me, I have to help Kira," she said as she closed her eyes, imagining what's happening to her friend.

She snapped her eyes open when she felt Kai was off her and heard Kira yell, "Hey, Kai, think fast." Kira had kicked Kai in the face and stomach.

"Hey, Hoshi, sorry I'm late saving your ass again. Here," said Kira as she handed Hoshi's clothes to her. "We better get out of here before they wake up," said Hoshi as she buttoned her shirt up.

"Ya, you're right." "Besides, we're missing lunch," said Hoshi as she grabbed Kira's wrist and ran to the quad area where Kane and the others were waiting.

"Hey, what happened to you two? You leave class, your hair's all messed up, and you came late for lunch, which you never do, so do you have an explanation?" asked Mariah.

Kira and Hoshi sat down and nodded 'yes'. "Kai and his friends tried to seduce us," said Kira calmly. Kane and everyone else stood up and spit out their food, staring at Kira and Hoshi. "Are you okay, did they leave bruises, did they hurt you, did they get to you?" asked Emily.

"No, we're totally fine," said Hoshi as she took a bit of a pizza she had gotten from Mariah's tray. "Don't worry, we can take care of ourselves," said Kira. "Those assholes, ever since we came to high school, they acted different," said Mariam.

"What do you mean by that?" asked Hoshi. "Tyson and the others used to be our friends, but they changed somehow," said Kane.

"You see, Tyson, Max, Kai, and Rei were once the Bladebreakers. Then, during the third championship competition, Rei came to the White Tiger X, that was Lee, Kevin, Gary, and me. Max went to the PPB All Stars, that was Emily, Eddy, Rick, and Michael. Kai went to the Blitzkrieg Boys, that was Tala, Brian, and Spencer. Tyson was left alone, but he had a team called the BBA Revolution, his teammates were Hilary, Kenny, and Daichi. Johnny, Oliver, and Enrique were the Majestics with a guy named Robert. But after all that, we were told we were going to school here. When we had stayed here for a few days, they changed," explained Mariah.

"Hey, isn't Kenny the guy in the computer lab, and isn't Eddy the guy in the basketball team?" asked Hoshi. "Yeah, we still talk but not very much," said Hilary. "Robert's that guy in my music class, isn't he? He's really good with the piano," said Hoshi.

"Yeah, he's really good, Rick and Spencer left last year, Spencer went to his family, and Rick came with me to study beyblades some more," said Emily. While Hoshi chatted with the girls, Kira was sitting with Kane and the boys.

"Hey, Kane, what team were you in?" asked Kira. "I was in the Psychics with Salima, Jim, and Gordy. Gordy left for America with his family." "How about you, Ozuma?" "I was in the Saint Shields with Mariam, Joseph, and Dunga," he said.

"That's cool, it seems like you're all in teams," she said. "Oh, I forgot," said Mariah, getting all her friends' attention. "I heard this year, we're going to live in the school," she said. "They said they have dorms so we're going to live here for the school year."

"That means we could possibly get rooms together," said Mariam. "The only problem is I heard them saying there's too many boys so some girls will be sharing a room with boys." "That's no big deal, maybe we'll get a room with Ozuma and the boys," said Hoshi.

Suddenly, Kira looked up from her drink and looked behind Hoshi. "Or the fucking assholes who think they're so hot," said Kira. Everyone looked behind Hoshi and found Kai and his friends there. "How dare you come here, don't you dare touch Hoshi or Kira," said Kane as he went in front of Hoshi.

"Asshole, you better get out of here before we beat you guys up," said Mariam. "Why should we? This isn't your property, neither is Kira and Hoshi," said Kai calmly. "Then we'll leave, and you're right. We're not their property, but we're their friends," said Kira as she got up and started walking away with her friends.

"Damn, I can't believe I didn't get a taste of their lips," said Tyson. "Yea, the only ones who got a taste was Johnny, Tala, Rei, and Kai," said Max as he sat down. "Plus, Rei and Kai got to kiss both girls," said Enrique. "I'll see you guys later, I need to get a girl," said Tala as he walked away.

"We better leave too, we have health class next," said Kai, smirking. "Oh, right, we have that new cool teacher," said Tyson as he followed everyone.

Kira and Hoshi were running through the halls, trying to get to their next class. "I can't believe we're late, why did you take so long drinking your soda!" yelled Hoshi. "But it wasn't my fault you just sat there and talked to me!" "Whatever, there's the room."

Kira opened the door, revealing someone blocking it. "Hello, ladies, and why are you late for my class?" questioned the guy. "You're the teacher? But you're so young," said Hoshi. "Yes, and thank you. But you haven't answered my question."

"We got lost, usually this is our period for P.E.," lied Kira. What she didn't know was that Kai and his friends were standing behind her and Hoshi. "Yo, big bro!" said Tyson.

Kira and Hoshi turned around and glared at the boys. "Hey, Tyson, explain why you're late for my class." "Uh, well, I was still eating my lunch, and I lost track of time." While Tyson explained to his big bro, the girls were glaring at the others. The two girls turned back to the new teacher, waiting to be seated.

Rei went close to Hoshi and whispered into her ear, "Hey, kitty cat, want to have some fun again later on? 'Cause I'll be happy to play with you." "You better move your ass away from me before I turn your member in a direction you never thought it would go," said Hoshi, smirking and Rei's reaction.

Rei had turned five times paler than usual at the thought, but he turned back to normal in seconds. "Fine, get to your seats." "Thanks, Hiro," said Tyson as he and the boys walked in. The girls were about to walk in when Hiro put his hand in front of them.

"I know their names, but I don't know yours," he said. "Name's Hoshiko, but people call me Hoshi. I do hope you don't have an attitude like your brother's," said Hoshi as she made eye contact with Hiro. Somehow, Hiro had felt himself being pulled in by the beautiful eyes of the teenage girl standing in front of him. "Thankfully no, I don't like the way my little brother acts, but he's still my brother," he said, coming back to reality.

"And you are?" he asked as he looked at Kira. "Kira, and I am happy to hear you're not like your brother," she said as she opened her eyes and looked at Hiro's. Hiro looked at Kira's red eyes and felt a hint of attraction to the girl. "You can take your seats now," he said, walking to the front of the room. When Hoshi and Kira looked inside, they felt disgusted at the sight.

There was a girl on Tyson's lap, Kai and Rei had girls on a table, Max, Tala, Brian, and Johnny were surrounded by girls. Enrique, Oliver, and Michael were making out with some girls in the back. "It's really revolting, seeing your own gender throwing themselves on boys," said Hoshi.

"I agree," said Kira as she pretended to vomit. "Alright, ladies, get to your seats. We're starting class, I'm your new health teacher, Hiro Granger, just call me Hiro. Now, today we will learn about the sex system." Kira and Hoshi, unfortunately, had to sit in front of Tyson and Max and behind Johnny and Tala.

Kai sat next to Kira while Rei sat next to Hoshi. The girls tried to pay attention to Hiro's lecture, but Kai and Rei were getting too close for comfort.

Suddenly, the boys turned to the front at what Hiro was saying. "Since we're doing the sex system, we'll be doing a project with partners of the opposite sex. The girls will pick out of this hat full of papers with all the boys' names. Also, tomorrow is when you'll all be assigned to a dorm," Hiro said, taking out a cap.

All the girls got up and picked out a paper, hoping to get one of the players as a partner, at least, most of the girls. When Hoshi went up to the front, she took a piece of paper and dropped her head. "I need to choose again," she said to Hiro. Hiro took the paper and read it. Rei, you're partnered up with Hoshi," he said in front of the whole class.

Kira patted Hoshi to comfort her at this information. Rei just smirked and high-fived Kai. Kira picked a paper next and just looked at it. In her mind she was screaming, but he kept her cool and gave it to Hiro. "Kai, you're partnered with Kira," he said. Both Kira and Hoshi walked back to their seats with lots of girls glaring at them.

When Kira and Hoshi sat down, their chairs were pulled apart and Hoshi was sitting near Rei while Kira was sitting near Kai. "Hey, Hoshi, you want to do it at my place or yours?" whispered Rei as he got close to her. "Back off, Rei, or I'll do what I said when we were at the doorway," said Hoshi, but Rei didn't move away.

Rei's hands went around her waist, and he whispered in her ear, "I'll have to fix your attitude really soon." Hoshi tried to move away, but Rei didn't let go of her waist. While that happened, Kira was having trouble with Kai. "Let go of my seat," said Kira as she stood up. Kai smirked while he grabbed Kira around her waist and pulled her onto his lap. "Now, now, Kira, do you want me to hurt you again?" he whispered into her ear as she started struggling to get away.

"Sure, whatever you say, but you didn't hurt me, I hurt you," she said as she got out of his grasp just as the bell rang. "Hoshi, let's go, I don't want to hang with idiots like this," said Kira as she grabbed Hoshi's hand and helped her from Rei's grasp. "Oh, and class, the principle said there will be a band fundraiser. Today, after school, there will be tryouts for bands that want to participate," said Hiro as students walked out.

"We better get the girls," said Kira as she and Hoshi walked out of class. "Yea, we'll be able to get in with one of them," said Hoshi. "Hey, Kira, Hoshi, looking for us?" Hoshi and Kira looked ahead and found all their friends in the front entrance. "How'd you know?" joked Kira as she walked up to the front.

"Hey, girls, do any of you now how to play bass?" asked Kira. "Emy does, she can even memorize all the notes of a song in two minutes," said Mariah. "Cool, hey, Emy, come on. Let's go and try out for the fundraiser. I have a bass guitar in the music room, and here's my music that we'll use," said Kira as she gave a sheet of music to Emily.

"Okay, let's go, the tryouts are in the gym. We can stop by the music room to get your bass guitar," said Emily. "I hope this won't take long, remember, we're suppose to go to that new club and Kira promised we can raid her closet," said Hilary. "Relax, Hil, we try out, then we're gone," said Kane as everyone started walking to the music room.

When they arrived at the music room, the teacher was still there with a few band students. "Ms. Lona, can I get my stuff?" asked Kira as she walked up to her. "Yes, they're in the back." "Thank you, and sorry for barging into your class," said Kira as she got two cases of guitars out. Once outside, she gave one to Emily and opened the one she had. She took out two drumsticks with silver snowflake designs on them.

"Here, Hoshi, your favorite drumsticks," said Kira as she handed the sticks to Hoshi. When Hoshi had the sticks in her hand, she twirled it in her hands. "Come on, we're not going to stay in school all day, this is like our last day to have fun without going to school as our home," said Mariam.

"I have to agree with Mariam," said Dunga. "We'll see you girls at the club, we've got to get home anyways to change," said Ozuma as the boys left. "Good luck on that band tryout!" yelled Kane from down the hall. "Let's hurry it up," said Hilary as she started walking the other way with everyone following. When they got to the gym, there were like seven different bands waiting for their turns.

Kira and Hoshi noticed the different kinds of bands: two punk bands, three rock bands, one girl band, and one group they wished they didn't see. That one group got the girls' band attention and were now flirting with them. Kira and her friends were disgusted at the sight of the boys touching the girls in many ways. Suddenly, a boy with blonde spiked up hair was on the stage.

"Hello, everybody, I am Jordan, student assistant to the principal, I will need the name of your band, your names, who's your lead singer, the song you're playing, and a copy of it," he said as he took out a pen and a clipboard. He pointed to one of the punk groups, made up of two boys and three girls. "The group name's Unmei, I'm lead singer, name's Uende. The drummer's Nina, the bass player's Mari, the guitar player's Eric, and the keyboard player's Inu, and we'll sing 'Heart Broken'," said a girl with long pink hair as she gave him a sheet of music.

Jordan then pointed to one of the rock bands that had one girl and two boys. "Name's Micoga, I'm lead singer, name's Yuri. Matthew is the guitarist, Andrew's bass, and we're playing 'Forsaken Night'," said a girl with icy blue hair. Jordan then pointed to another punker group.

"Name's The Romones, I'm Kiaira, the drummer, the lead singer is Anita, the guitar player is Gordy, the bass is Nicky, and we're singing 'Shut Up'," said a girl with black, waist-length hair. Jordan wrote everything, then pointed to the other rock band. "Name's Nirvana, I'm Carlos, I play the guitar and the lead singer, Andy, is drummer, Ivan's bass, and we're singing 'In Too Deep'," said a boy with black hair spiked up many times.

Jordan then pointed to the last rock band. "The name's Midnight Shadows, I'm Adam, the singer, Jason's the drummer, Kyle's guitar, and Tyler's bass, we're singing 'Fat Lip'," said a boy with curly spiked up hair. Jordan looked around, then pointed to the girl group. "Our name is Black Rose, I'm Kitty, the lead singer, our guitarist is Roxy, our drummer is Jackie, our bass is Yuki, and we'll be singing 'Sweet Sixteen'," said a girl with dark blue hair.

"Okay, after I get the last two bands, we'll start," said Jordan as he pointed to Kai's group. "The name's Blood in Dept, I'm Kai, the guitarist and lead singer, our bass is Michael, and out drummer is Rei, and we're singing 'The Devil's Cry'."

"What about you girls?" asked Jordan, pointing to Kira and her friends, who were still in the doorway. Everyone stared at Kira and her friends when there were acknowledged. "Name's Dark Angels, I'm Kira, lead singer and guitarist, Emily's our bass, Hoshi's our drummer, and we're singing a song I wrote, 'Oblivion's Sanctuary' (actually, it was made by one of my best friends, Hikari Cresentfall)," said Kira as she handed Jordan a copy of her music.

"Alright, Dark Angels, you can start," said Jordan as he looked at Kira's music. Kira, Emily, and Hoshi walked up onto the stage and got ready. Soon, Emily started with five notes over and over. (whisper) "I can't feel you (Is it the darkness?) Are we near the light? (Or are we still in twilight?)

Fighting for precious life, Dire consequences," sang Kira as Hoshi started beating her drums and herself playing her guitar. "Fight the darkness by my side Hear the lost one's echoed cries Looking for the door to light Waiting for the judgment night."

Hoshi was beating faster on the drums, Mariah and everyone were surprised that these girls were good…wait, scratch that, they were great. "With midnight calling, we all are falling into darkness, and hypnotic trances." Kira and Emily were back to back and playing their guitar.

"All this crying, screaming, fighting, things I can't see, Hurt and pain I blame the darkness and me 'cause the bond we share is so eternal, I confine myself inside the sanctuary for the strong…" Hoshi was having fun being able to play her drums again and with Kira and Emily.

"Drown in words that mean no hope Death and sadness I provoke Demonic chants begin to rise Being her is no surprise Relinquish these sins using your light Save me, release me from his mind…" finished Kira. Kira, Hoshi, and Emily looked at everyone and smirked at their expressions.

The two punk and three rock bands had their mouths wide open, Jordan had dropped his pen with amusement in his eye, the girl group glared at them for getting all the attention, Kai and his friends were staring at them from head to toe, and Mariah and the others looked like they were going to burst with excitement. "Uh…um, okay, that was great, uh, Blood in Dept, you're next," said Jordan, picking up his pen.

While the girls were going down they felt a hand touch their ass and they glared at the three boys who were now on the stage. Soon the music started and Kai started singing,

"We are falling

The light is calling

Tears inside me

Bless me with the

Leaf off of the tree

On it I see

The freedom reign

We are falling

The light if calling

Tears inside me

Calm me down

Midnight calling

Mist of resolving Crown me,

with the Pure green leaf

Bless me with the

Leaf off of the tree On it I see

The freedom reign

Praise to my father

Blessed by the water

Black night,

Dark Sky,

The Devil's Cry…" sang Kai, staring at Kira's eyes.

He smirked at Kira's reaction, he had seen Kira's eyes widen in surprise for a minute but went back to her emotionless eyes. Rei looked at Hoshi and smiled sweetly to her, but she snorted and turned away. Kira walked out with the girl following, leaving a bunch of people with mixed emotions.

Kira and all the girls were heading towards the parking lot when Hoshi said, "Hold up, guys, I have to get my keys from my locker, good thing I brought my Ford Mustang with me today, you guys go on ahead, I'll go get them," said Hoshi as she ran towards her locker, which was just a few minutes away.

Hoshi looked through her locker and found her keys. When she closed her locker and turned around, she saw Rei standing really close to her. "What do you want, Rei?" asked Hoshi in an expressionless voice. "Just wanted to be alone with you again," he said, grabbing both her hands and putting it above her head. He then put his legs against hers so she couldn't kick him.

He laid his head on her left shoulder and whispered to her, "Hoshi, you're very hard to break but fun." He started planting kisses on her neck, making her shiver. "I'll get what I want, besides, for once I actually fell for someone," he said, putting both her wrists in one of his hands and let his other hand slide down her body to her breast.

"And right now, all I want is to see your body without clothes," he whispered. "You're a player, and I know how you play, you 'do' me, then leave me," said Hoshi, getting a hand free and slapping him. Rei turned his head to look at her and was surprised to find her crying.

"Do you really want to hurt me again!" yelled Hoshi. Rei put a hand to her cheek but felt her jerk back. "Don't touch me!" yelled Hoshi as she closed her eyes. Rei sighed and turned around to leave but said, "See ya later, kitty." He then walked away. Hoshi wiped away her tears and walked towards the exit.
