Hi. Eleventh chapter. Talking in short sentences. No reason for doing so. Read. Please review. Takes a breath. Okay, sorry about that, but, seriously, please review. I like reading reviews! Smiles. Bye.

Not really. First, I have a confession to make. I almost posted this chapter before the tenth one. For some reason it didn't post when I put the tenth on here about a week and a half ago. I just waited a little before actually posting this one. Boy did I feel stupid... Oh, and I like languages a lot, which is why you'll see a lot in this story. I know bits and peices of alot of different languages, but I also get them messed up some times,soI appologize now for any mistakes I may make. Please point them out to me if I do. Bye.

"Oh! Oh! I wanna start! I wanna!" she exclaimed, her hand waving feverishly. Without waiting for someone to tell her it was okay, "Alright! I dare…" She looked around at the waiting faces; letting the suspense grow a bit, then span the bottle "I dare---"

"Sorry I'm so late; I just got your message, Kiri," Canti Hikaru said as she walked through the door.

"You're always late, Hikaru-san," Kiri said in a monotone.

"I dare Canti!" Shira yelled as the bottle pointed at the data girl and Hikaru looked confused. "Truth or Dare!" Hikaru quickly caught the meaning and moved into a space in the circle they made for her.

"Truth," she said, not trusting what Shira might come up with. Shira's grin widened.

"I want you to tell everyone here your password that you use on the palm-pilot you always carry in your pocket." She told her and Hikaru's face tightened a bit.

"That's a stupid Truth," she said, wasting a little time before she would have to answer.

"Don't waste time, Hikaru, just tell us," Shira said, "besides, we're your friends, we wouldn't break into it just because we know the password."

"I'm supposed to trust the snake of our team?" Hikaru asked, but Shira just smiled, so Hikaru went on, "It's… 'Jamais encore'…" (I'm sorry if I made a mistake.) She smiled, "Except in Japanese."

"That's not fair!" Shira protested, "You can't speak in German!"

"Actually, that was French," Shia corrected her.

"Yes, it was," Inui confirmed, pushing his square glasses farther up his nose, "And I understood it. Most interesting choice of password." He wrote something down in his notebook.

"Translate it then," Sharr said, and Inui nodded.

"Very well, 'nunca otra vez'," he said in Spanish (Again, I'm sorry if I made a mistake.) Ryoma grinned, quickly catching onto the game.

"Or, in English, never again," he said. The twins, not fluent enough to translate it, pouted quietly to themselves.

"My turn," Hikaru said, span the bottle, and then smiled evilly at Ryoma. "You didn't have to translate it into English; most of us here are fluent. Truth or Dare Echizen-san?"

"Dare," Ryoma smiled.

"Alright," she said, her smile slightly twisted. Cara laughed under her breath.
"Ryoma may not make it through this one…" she chuckled.

"Echizen-san, your dare is to run around this block three times yelling 'The British are coming!' In English, of course."

"And here I thought you'd be forgiving," Ryoma said and headed outside to begin doing his dare. The others laughed from the doorway until he finally came back in, scowling at Hikaru the entire time. He sighed as he sat down and looked around, before spinning the bottle, "Oishi-Senpai, truth or dare?" Oishi looked apprehensive, but answered without even a shudder.

"Dare," he said and Ryoma grinned.

"Oishi-Senpai, your dare…" he thought about it and decided that the Vice captain could use a break and he would save his dare for later, "Is to pick truth from now on." Oishi sighed, while several of the others sounded disappointed and didn't think it was fair. "Oishi-senpai needs a break," Ryoma excused his action and Oishi span the bottle.

"Um, Raina-san, truth or dare?" he asked.

"Truth," she answered. He sighed, then, unable to think of anything else, asked his question.

"Who do you like?" he asked, and a few people moaned that it was a boring question, but listened for the answer none the less.

"Uh," she blushed slightly, "…you…" Oishi blushed deeper than she did and she spun the bottle. It landed on Kiri.

"Kiri, truth or dare?" Raina asked and Kiri sighed.

"Do you really need to ask?" Raina shook her head. Kiri always choose dare, truth wasn't even an option in her mind. Raina remembered a time when they were younger that Kiri had told her that the truths were never completely true and the only true thing any person could ever say was that they were a liar. Raina had always suspected that it Kiri just didn't want to talk about the past, of the things that happened before she had ever met her.

"Kiri, your dare is to sing a song with Cara as back up," she said, then smiled at Kiri's knowing frown, "And it has to be the one I know you have in your bag." Kiri's eyebrow rose.

"And you know what's in my bag now?" Kiri asked, somewhat skeptically.

"No, not exactly, but I know you came strait here after the extra practice you held for the beginners and that means you have your notebook, which the song is written in," Raina said wisely and Kiri smiled one of her odd smiles.

"It's getting to where you know me too well," she said and Raina returned her smile with one of her own.

"Sad isn't it?" She asked and Kiri went to her back, pulling out a red notebook. She flipped through the pages, passing school work and finally found what she was looking for. She showed the score to Cara, who nodded. It wouldn't be a problem for her, she lived to sing. Kiri settled herself. Cara began to tap the beat and hum, matching the pitches for the background music perfectly, creating a slow, sad melody. (Disclaimer: I did not write the following song, a friend did, but she gave me permission to put it here, as long as I didn't tell who actually wrote it. I like it, but you are free to your own opinion.)

"Your touch, I never knew I'd miss it this much," Kiri began, her voice as soft and heartrending as the music Cara created for her, "Waiting for you to come back Is like a never-ending heart attack.

"Your smile, your laugh, that you only showed me, they're the only working remedy.

"They all think I'm happy, they see me smiling. They take comfort in what they don't see, 'cause they can't see me crying.

"At midnight, I'm still awake; the pain is more than I can take. "Your smile, your laugh, that you only showed me, they're the only working remedy--" She held the word 'remedy' a bit longer and then Cara suddenly changed the music to a steadier beat, Kiri changing her voice to match it, "But I gotta be strong! And be tough! I can do no wrong! And good's never been good enough!

"I'm not alone, the time's right. Baby, sometimes the only answer is to rock all night!

"No time to waste, no time to kill. Time can't be erased, but, Baby, just don't let it ever stand still!

"I need to be strong! And stand tall! I can do no wrong! The world's so big: I can't afford to be so small!

"Oh, I gotta be strong! And be tough! I can do no wrong! Oh, goods never been good enough! Yeah!

"Oh oh!"

"Ooo ooo," Cara sang the notes easily.

"Oh oh!"

"Ooo ooo."

"Oh oh! Yeah! Cause I gotta stand strong!" Kiri ended the song and immediately went back to her normal expression as many people clapped. She glared at Raina the entire time as she sat back down, but Cara was grinning and Raina didn't seem to mind the glare as much as she normally would. Kiri spun the bottle, willing it to land on Raina. It didn't listen, and it landed on Sharr.

"Sharr, truth or dare?" Sharr glanced at her sister.

'You think we should?' she asked telepathically.

'Yes,' Shira answered, nodding to confirm it.

"Partner," Sharr said. Momo looked confused.

"What is partner? I've never heard of that." He asked.

"It's where you take a dare, but you can have someone else do it with you," Christine explained. "I'd never heard of it before, but Kiri's sister was sayin' somethin' about it a few days ago."

"My partner is Shira," Sharr said and Cara muttered something about 'what a surprise…'

"Sharr, Shira," Kiri said, "Your partner dare is to go to school dressed as Bonnie and Clyde." Kiri's face remained blank as many of the others began to laugh and Sharr and Shira stared at their captain with a look of surprise and terror. They couldn't believe Kiri, their wonderfully serious captain, would say such a thing. With that same look of fear on her face, Sharr spun the bottle.

"Tezuka-senpai," She said, "Truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"I…" Sharr seemed hesitant, "I dare you to tell us what happened between you and Kiri." Everything was still for a moment, no one daring to move, as all eyes were on Kiri and Kunimitsu. It wasn't clear what either one's next action would be.

She didn't let it show in her complexion, but it took all Kiri had to keep calm. She wanted to stand up and yell like a child would that that hadn't been fair, that she shouldn't have to suffer. She didn't, but she wanted to. She wanted to stand up, grab her bag and leave. She wanted to be someplace else, anywhere but here.

Kunimitsu knew all too well what thoughts were racing through her head, as the same kind of thoughts ran through his own. He was tempted to use the language trick they had used earlier. Would anyone here recognize Dutch? He figured Inui would know some, and he wasn't sure about Canti, so decided against it. It seemed too cheap anyway.

"We dated, we broke up, end of story," Said Kunimitsu, after a little thought. This seemed easiest. No one could say he was lying, but he wouldn't have to tell everything and Kiri wouldn't lose it. He wouldn't lose it. Sharr looked disappointed, but didn't linger over it. She had known he would dodge her real reasoning anyway, but she had hoped he would let a little bit more slip out of the vault of his memory. He spun the bottle.

Momo. Momo was made to drink a bottle of Inui juice. The bottle began to spin again. Kaoru. After an embarrassed Kaoru had confessed his undying love to a lamppost, the bottle was spun again. After many more dares and a few startling, and slightly disturbing, truths, the bottle finally landed on Shia.

"Alright, Kiddo," Christine, whose turn it was, said, "Truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"So predictable," sighed Christine, "I dare you to answer a truth." Shia frowned.

"Shoot," she said, faking self-assurance, but Ryoma knew she was nervous. With good reason.

"Shia, what is your biggest secret? The thing you've never told anyone?" Christine asked, seemingly innocent in her question. Kiri hid a twisted smile behind her hand. How will you answer this one, Shia?

"Well---" Shia started, but was cut off as the door opened.

"Hi there, Shia," The familiar voice and greeting made Shia stop in mid-sentence.

"Ashi-san," she uttered, "… Hello…" Ashi smiled at Shia and then turned to Ryoma.

"Hiya, Ryoma, good to see you again," He smiled, raising a hand. Ryoma didn't return the gesture, but rather continued to glare at him. This could not be good.
