Vad Heter Du
Rachel sighed as she hung upside down on the couch. Andrew and Matt had run out to get soda and other junk foods that even Rachel thought Andrew would never touch. When they came back, she found herself bored out of her mind. Matt was off in their room looking for something. Something Rachel didn't want to know. "So your really going to start bringing Matt over?" She wanted to die. "Having her around after work and her days off are plenty."
"Motivation in training," Andrew said as he tossed her a can of soda that she caught before handing Bria one, "Think of it like if you don't beat Matt, she'll lead the Informers."
"So let her," Rachel groaned, "I don't wanna."
"Quit your complaining," Matt stared as she walked out of the room holding something, "Am I so bad that you can't even stand to be around me for an hour?"
"You're fun," Brianna told her grinning. She examined what kind of soda she got and beamed when she found it was Sunkist, "Sweet, I've been graving orange…"
"You like it?" Matt asked, "That's a favorite of mine."
"Sunkist, Diet Dr. Pepper, Root Beer, and Sprite are my favorites. I dislike any other kind of soda...usually they're too sweet for me, I've never been a fan of sugary drinks…bleck, Gatorade and PowerAde…disgusting…" Bria admitted as she popped the lid.
"I'm a Root Beer fan." Andrew murmured, "I think the only person in here that likes the Pepsi products are you, Rae."
"Gee thanks," Rachel was holding a can of MD in her hands, "Back to the topic at hand, I don't want to fight."
"Well tough it up," Andrew said, "You can't play weak forever."
"Says who?" Rachel demanded as she took a drink.
"Us," Bria muttered under her breath, her voice a mixture of the others.
"Still," Andrew glared at the woman before sighing and then sat down next to her. "Why don't you want to fight anymore?"
"I just don't. Everyone seems to have it under control," Rachel sighed.
"Rae…" Andrew paused in his words and then sighed. "Rae, their not always was going to be there. You could be out alone on the streets when those Foot people attack. Whatever happened to Don and Lily, could be you."
"I'll be fine. I have faith in Don and Nao," Rachel waved it off.
"What about Raph?" Andrew asked.
"What about him?" Rachel asked as she watched Andrew.
"Do you honestly believe that he's just going to watch you get hurt and not say a word about it?" Andrew demanded.
"Chill Andy," Matt soothed before stepping in, "Sweetheart, Raph loves you. If you put yourself in constant danger, you're going to have to fight to keep yourself safe. Just like when we were in the Informers, we all had to do bad things to keep safe. We all did. You're causing suspicion on them, Rae. They know your in the Aka Ryuu, that dragon says it all." Matt watched her, "What happened to that girl that made this group? What happened to the Leader that could make heads turn? Everyone didn't want to mess around with you; they all knew that if they did, you'd kill them or worse. What happened Rae? What happened to that girl me and Andy looked up to because when she fought, she fought with everything she had… as if every fight was a fight for her life, and not for anything else?"
"Raph and all the boys," Andrew sighed and then cracked open his soda and let it fizz, "I don't know what they'd do if me, Nao, or Donny couldn't do anything to save you and you wound up dead."
"Okay, fine," Rachel grumbled, "However, I am not driving you to work," she snapped that at Matt.
"I have a car," Matt grinned, "Now, let's lighten the mood shall we?" She ran over to the stereo and started messing with it.
"Ganging up always worked," Andrew removed himself from the couch were Rachel was sitting and sat down next to Bria.
Brianna laughed softly, "Hai, hai, that's true," she said absently, a little preoccupied by her soda.
Andrew laughed and looked at the ground. It was awkward now. Being with her after just kissing… Both Matt and Rachel did not miss the awkward aura and both were grinning with wide grins. Andrew noticed and gave them the finger. Matt cracked up while Rachel shook her head, "You're catching my bad habits, Andy. Stop…"
Bria chuckled and leaned against Andy, casually sipping her soda. Maybe if she was calm and casual, hopefully he wouldn't feel uncomfortable. "Matt, work on the stereo," she half suggested, half ordered. She knew she wasn't their leader, Rachel was, but since she was the leader of her Soul Sister because of the Aka Ryuu, she actually did have at least a little bit of authority.
"You do realize that since you're with Rachel your part of us now? As well as Raph?" Andrew decided to tell.
Matt finally managed to hook up the stereo and grabbed the couch that Rachel was on and started pushing it out of the way, making Rachel fall off of it gracelessly.
Bria laughed and nodded, "Yes, I suppose I am…" she thought about it and then poked him lightly, "But, since I'm the one who had Rachel join the Aka Ryuu, and I lead her like she leads you…wouldn't that make you two also a part of it?" she tilted her head curiously, sort of hoping she was right, but she added quickly, "I'm not saying you have to be a part of it, my mind's just doing weird logic…"
Andrew thought for a while and then looked at Bria, "Your logic is correct. Since you lead Rachel in the Aka Ryuu we also follow you." He thought for a minute before taking a drink of the can and looked at it. He swished the contents around for a bit. "That also means that our enemies are now yours, and your enemies are now ours," He took a drink before crossing his legs on the ground, "Does Raphael know how much danger he's in just by being in love with her? I'm in constant danger and so is Matt. Now…you could be too."
He looked at her and smiled weakly. "I'm not just talking about the Foot. I'm talking about other gangs. Bounty Hunters as well… Lynx has a good amount on her head, and some knows what she looks like. If offered enough money, the gangs we worked with could sell us out. Just as we could."
He paused as he watched Matt grab Rachel off of the ground and dragged her over to the CD cabinet, "I don't want you to get hurt Bria. I don't want Raph to get hurt either. Yet, you both room with the most dangerous person on the planet and you both love her dearly. That'll cost you one day." He paused in his drink before sighing, "I'm sorry; I'm bringing down the mood. This is supposed to be a party, and I'm sure you already knew all of this in the first place."
"You're right, I did know," Brianna pecked him on the cheek, "But I don't care. As long as I have a chance of being able to protect all of you, I'll take down Bounty Hunters any day. Hell, if I get the info, /I'll/ track /them/."
She laughed and took a sip of her soda. She caught a glimpse of the CD Matt and Rachel had picked out, "Matt! Matt, Matt, Matt!" She set her soda on the table, "Is that the CD with Vad Heter Du on it?!" she asked eagerly.
"You know them?" Matt asked highly amused. She was holding the green CD that had Caramell in bold yellow words. Her eyes were wide.
"Surprisingly, yes," Bria grinned, "I've never been music junky…" she glanced at the huge collection, "But I've had my share both where I use to be and since I moved here." She held her hand out, "Here, I'll put it in," she offered.
"Okay," Matt said, happily turning the CD over to Bria. She ran over and grabbed Rachel and dragged her over to the middle of the floor, waiting for the music to start.
Brianna popped open the lid and slid the CD into the stereo. She hit play and chuckled as the first couple songs played. She hummed along with them, and then she heard the familiar beat of one of her favorites, Vad Heter Du. She stood and jointed the duo, dancing as she sang, the only multitasking she was really good at. Hannah took over, making her eyes change to be a teal color. Anya was able to translate mentally for her so she was able to make the right actions.

Vill du veta allt om mig
Do you wanna know everything about me? (she smiled coyly)"
Brianna laughed as the song ended and she went to hit the replay button, this time singing and moving in English, easily following the beat and rhythm of the words. She did this so they would understand what she was doing.
Andrew watched as Brianna did the dance again for the second time. Shaking his head he moved away from the dance floor just a bit, just in case Bria was going to grab him and make him dance. Matt and Rachel had stopped dancing just to watch what Bria was doing. Matt decided to jump in and started dancing with her. Rachel quickly moved over to where Andrew was and did an X symbol teasingly, just as Matt reached over and grabbed Rachel forcing her to dance again.
Matt also grabbed Andy, "It's your chance!"
Andrew just shook his head but quickly had to compose himself when Matt nearly threw him at Bria. He tentatively started trying to dance the same way she was but got nervous and went back and sat down. He may have taken dancing class, but dancing with her? He couldn't even feel his heart it was beating so fast.
Bria's eyes swirled with a mixture of them all, and they were wide as she stared at him. They had felt the electric current as he had attempted to dance with her, and Davon even had to admit there was something there. She had stopped dancing before the last chorus, and as it quickly played out she went through her options.
