Here's my chapter 2

Mai's P.O.V

I woke up a few hours later because my cell phone rang. Suzuki gave us all cell phones (we don't ask how she gets them) so we can keep in touch. I grab it and say

"Who's this?"

"Hey Mai!" is yelled into my ear, its monk "how would you like to come to dinner with me and the others tonight" he asks.

I look at Suzuki, who's listening in. she nods, showing that I don't have to patrol and that if I'm needed, she'll call.

"Sure Monk" I reply, before hesitating. "There's a problem with that though" I mumble, I would look pretty dumb if I had to run out of the room just to smoke "you'll have to get a smoking table. I've been a smoker for a year now."

'More like two' I think to myself dully, waiting for the eruption. I was not disappointed.

"You're what!" he yelled "why didn't you tell me! Your 16! You shouldn't have cigarettes in your possession! Let alone smoke them!"

He then hangs up. During this exchange I kept my phone 6 inches away from my ear the entire time, letting Suzuki hear everything, but she had to put her hands over her ears.

"Damn" she mumbled to me "that's loud."

I rub my ears and say "you're telling me. I'm going to have triple that at least as soon as the others get me alone."

"How are you not deaf?" she asked me, looking at me with a shocked face.

"I built up a resistance" I replied grimly "they expect me to be the same me from 2 years ago. How are they going to react when they see how I am now?"

Suzuki smiled "if you survive, come to me to help you heal verbal wounds. If you die, I'll come to your body burning."

"Thanks" I replied dryly "and here I was hoping for some advice."

At the dinner/ Mai's P.O.V

I stick my head into the small dinner looking for S.P.R. I see them and wince. They all look downright furious, and there waiting to use all that anger at me. I gulp, gather my courage, and walk over.

"That's not fair" I mumble, hiding behind my bleached hair "6 to 1 is impossible to beat."

There glares soften a little, but there defiantly still there.

"Mai" Ayako said, sounding quietly but still angrily "why didn't you tell us when you tried cigarette's, why didn't you call us about it?"

I tried not to wince at how she said it. She made it sound like I'm doing something horrible, instead of giving myself lung cancer.

"Because I hadn't called you lately or at all at the time" I answered "so I thought it'd be weird to just call out of nowhere saying I'm a smoker."

"Why did you start smoking?" john asked, I answered

"My excuse is the same as every other smoker you'll ever meet, thought I wouldn't get addicted, tried it once, and got hooked."

"But you're not smoking now" Lin said, as though he expected me to just grab a cigarette and smoke right here without others consent.

"I'm very aware about second hand smoking and lung cancer" I replied "so I smoke my cigarette's on my own, so I don't effect anyone."

Everyone was impressed. Most people who smoked couldn't hold their urges like Mai apparently could.

"Excuse me" I said, getting ready to stand up "I need to smoke; I'll be back in a few minutes."

"No need" Naru said, interrupting me "smoking around us a little bit won't hurt us, you don't need to leave."

I slowly nodded, and grabbed my pack, happy they didn't mind. I lit the cigarette and took a long drawl.

"So, why did you organize this thing anyway?" I ask Monk, it was strange to have them watch me so carefully.

They seemed more focused on my smoking than anything else, like they expected me to just drop dead any minute. The silver tails didn't act like that, they just told me that it was my choice and that they hoped I'd someday reconsider (at least, that's what Suzuki and Miharu said).

"I did it because I thought it would be good to hear all that's happened to us after we left" Monk said.

I nodded, but then my phone rang.

"Sorry" I mumbled as I opened the phone and said "hello?"

"Mai!' Suzuki yelled into my ear "things are bad!"

I sat up straighter and said, even thought I knew the others were listening to my every word "who was attacked this time?" I asked, hoping it wasn't her.

"Miharu" Suzuki replied, and my blood ran cold "Mairu, she needs you badly right now, hurry up and get here!"

"Okay!' I replied, hanging up

"Sorry guys," I said in a rush "one of my friends was attacked, I have to go!"

"We'll go with" Ayako replied, and they all followed me out the door. (A/N: sorry, I'm not sure how I would write the drive away scene, so I just time skipped.)

Mai's house/ Mai's P.O.V

I ran in the door with the others following. My blood chilled to the bone, I saw Miharu on my couch crying, with Suzuki next to her.

Miharu was covered in bruises, and her clothes were ripped, in areas that could make me fear that the curse would strike her.

"I've been waiting a while" Suzuki reprimanded as she pushed Miharu into my waiting arms "she won't let anyone touch her, but she won't stop asking for you."

"Oh Mairu" she sobbed into my shoulder as I sat on the couch with her "it was so horrible!"

"You don't need to tell me what happened" I said softly, knowing that it might make her sadder to talk about it.

"Yes I do!" she sobbed "he might have given me the curse!"

That made me even more scared "please tell me he didn't" I said softly

"He did!" she blubbered.

I was now shaking in fury, as was Suzuki.

"I'll castrate him" I hissed "him and all his goons. No one passes on the curse. It's bad enough the weight is enough to stop some of us for becoming members, but to put it on a newbie!"

Suzuki was doing even more cursing than I was "that's it" she hissed, eyes blazing "no more dancing around it. You hurt us, we hurt you kowari. Eye for an eye, curse for a curse. Mairu" she commanded "leave our calling card tonight. The silver tails will rip the red claws apart for this!"

"I'll be happy too" I hissed "but first, we need to see if you're really cursed" I was now addressing Miharu "when did it happen?"

"An hour ago" she mumbled into my chest "I'm sorry I didn't call sooner."

"Don't be" I say "where were you?"

"The slums" she mumbled "I was going to visit Suzuki."

I nodded, and Naru asked "what are you 3 talking about? The slums, why would she be there? What curse? And why are you talking about gangs?"

I didn't reply. Naru had always thought Yankees and gang members were disgusting. He would sneer at them whenever we passed one before, and even look disgusted if he bumped into one. It was better that he not know.

"Please leave" I said instead, talking to all of S.P.R.

"But" Monk started before I interrupted

"This is a personal matter. It has nothing to do with you. Please leave."

Monk and the others looked extremely offended as they left. I almost felt bad, but I have work to do.

"Do you mind if I leave for a few hours?" I asked Miharu

"No" Miharu said, calming down slightly "but you don't have to start a war because of me."

"Miharu" Suzuki starts "what's the biggest rule of the silver tails?"

"Take care of your own" Miharu replied, and Suzuki nodded

"You're one of us" Suzuki pointed to me then herself "and we will take care of you just like you care for us. They hurt you, we hurt them."

"I'm going to go" I told her "you're staying here just in case you are cursed."

Suzuki nodded and said "Miharu, you're on leave, no fighting around you right now."

I slipped out of the room then. I put of black jeans and a skin tight black tank top. I took out all my piercings (including navel) so they wouldn't get in the way of anything. I then put a black wig own, and carefully put on gloves so there would not be any finger prints. Lastly, I put my cigarettes on my bed, so they couldn't fall out and leave evidence somewhere.

I walked calmly to one of kowari's houses (most of the red claw were rich people) and I knew he wouldn't be here at this time of night.

I had grabbed a gallon of gas on the way there, and was now splashing it all over every bit of the house I could reach. While I let it soak into the hard wood floors I grabbed a flame resistant pot and filled it with cold water, then put our trademark in (a silver feather in the shape of a tail) and went back to the gas.

I grabbed some matches I keep with me (just in case I lose my lighter) and lit one. I was halfway to the door when I threw it, running as far away as I could before the explosion hit.

The entire house was aflame, not was untouched, but the feather tail in the pot, and perhaps that'd go too.

Before the firefighters could arrive, I was halfway home and still running.

Here's my chapter 2. I have no clue where I'm going with this or why. Heck, I never even thought about gang stuff (and I know this isn't what any gangs do) but you know what I mean. R and R!
