Battle high: not your average high school

After Battle twenty-eight

New family troulbes

Prism gave one last glare to the group of girls and then sighed. "Okaay," she said, spinning around in little circles as she walked.

Kirai stopped walking when he came upon a rather important realization. "Umm..Cloud?"

"Hm?" Cloud stopped and turned to look at him.

"Where are we going?" It looked like Cloud had been leading them towards the school, but it was dark out. Why were they going there?

"To the house we're staying in."

"Where IS the house we're staying in?"

Cloud stared at Kirai. "I thought you knew."

"Why would I know?!"

"I figured since you spent like two months with Artemis you would know where he would've taken us."

"You're the one walking ahead of me; even if I did know wouldn't I be in front of you?"

"...I'm tired okay? I'm not exactly thinking straight."

Lilly laughed and started to walk ahead of Prism and made sure she didn't lose track of the girl either.

Sora heard the two of them arguing and looked up when their arguing had woken her up. She yawned and rubbed her eyes tiredly and sighed quietly.

"Go straight a little more then go right for three blocks then a left and the house will be to your left and its green with light blue trim on the house," she yawned to them. Cloud yawned a little. "See. Nothing to worry about," he said to Kirai as he turned around and resumed his walking, now following Sora's directions.

"You were getting worried too," Kirai grumbled.

"Not nearly as much as you were."

Sora grumbled under her breathe as she watched the path ahead of her.

"...Shut up...you guys are the reason why I'm awake," she deadpanned at them with a bored tone. "Yes, but you love us," Cloud pointed out, taking that right turn Sora had told him to take.

"Well at least, you love me," Kirai teased.

Cloud glared at him. "Haahaha shut up."

"I know I love you..but as for him he gets a pillow in the face later," said Sora as she roared at him the best she could.

"But you both were loud and woke me up you ass hats."

"Hey, I can't not yell at Cloud. It's not humanly possible, I'm sorry," Kirai told her.

"You totally can. Prism does it all the time."

"That's because she has a mental disorder and has put up with you for multiple years. I just hate you so it's kinda difficult. Like right now? So much self-control is being wasted, bro," he told him. Sora grumbled under her breath before she hit Kirai on the head and started to crawl off of his back. She decided it was better to be sleepy and walk ahead sleepy and run into crap.

Sora walked ahead and started ahead of them and yawned which ended up her running into a lamp post. Cloud and Kirai didn't even try to contain their laughter. They were much too tired for that.

"Sora.. why.. did you even try to walk?" Kirai asked her through laughs. "You were obviously gonna run into something," he said, directing her away from the post she'd ran into. Sora glanced at them with a sleepy glare.

"Cause...you would only get lost...," she said to him with a pout as she rubbed her nose. She let him guide her away from the lamp post and stared at the ground plainly. "You two will be under water tonight.."

"Awwwh." Cloud pouted over at Sora. "Don't do thaaaat." His voice was a higher pitch than usual, due to him almost falling asleep just standing right there.

Kirai shook his head. "Nahh. You're too tired to pick us up."

Sora growled at him a bit before she turned to Kirai.

"But it would only be fair since you two laughed at me you meanies it's no wonder I'll make sure you two share a room," she said. Sora then picked up a small rock and threw it at Cloud hitting him on the head.

"WHAT?!" Cloud protested loudly, turning to look at Sora, thus getting hit in the face with said rock. He glared down at it and then back up at Sora. "You cannot make us share a room. No."

"She won't do it. She knows you'd end up killing me," Kirai said to him.

"Not unless I ask my big brother," Sora turned away for a minute and then turned back around looking all innocent and with a sweet look in her eyes.

"Artemis..can they share a room please? I'm sure it would help them learn to be nicer to each other and I'll make sure they behave..Please big brother?," Sora said with a sweet tone in her voice.

She then continued the look in her eyes as she looked back to Kirai. Kirai blinked at her. So she was serious. "No. That is going to make it so much worse on so many levels."

"There will literally be no good in that happening. None. None at all. And you know that I'll end up hurting him in some way," Cloud told her, shaking his head.

"You know I might not be able to fight as well but I'm pretty sure that I actually am stronger than you," Kirai pointed out.

Cloud gave him a blank look. "Just because you can chop down a tree-"

"With one swipe-"

"-regardless of the amount of attempts it took, does not mean that you are stronger than me. That was purely because of your shock at what I had said."

Kirai glanced at Sora while she wasn't looking and gave Cloud a mischievous look.

Cloud shook his head abruptly. He raised his knife and jabbed at the air in the direction of Kirai. "I will do it."

"So will I."

Sora looked at them both, and she walked back to Cloud and quickly grabbed him by the wrist twisted his arm and flipped him over her shoulder causing him to drop the knife. She then sat on his back while holding his arm back.

"Let's see who's faster and who can save who either way even if you do share rooms," she said to him innocently with a wicked smile. Sora made sure to pull his arm back hard to make him remember the pain she had caused him before as well.

"Let's not forget who has Shooters and who does not and who would most likely win.."

"Wha-t the fuck?!" Cloud glared up at Sora as best as he could, being twisted into this position.

"I didn't even do anything! If you think I'm actually going to kill him then you're just an idiot," he said, not trying to get her off, but failing his attempts at trying to reach his knife again. He just didn't like it being out of reach.

Kirai looked down at Cloud and laughed a little. "Well sor-ry, you do make it pretty convincing," he said, nudging Cloud's head with his foot.

"Don't touch me. And get your girlfriend off of me before I stab both of you. And before you flip your shit over anything, no I am not serious, so no need to have a spaz attack and flip me over a second time," he growled. Sora looked at him and pulled his arm back a bit some more. She didn't bother getting off of him she stayed where she was and gave a slight yawn but remained alert enough to keep him pinned.

"That's what you said last time and what the fuck happened then? Huh?," she asked irritatedly and made sure she kicked the knife towards Kirai.

"Ughhhh, what in the ever loving fuck is the point of this?! In no way is this going to prevent me from constantly threatening to injure Kirai in some way, nor will it stop me from succeeding in those attempts which, might I re-point out, are not sincere. The only thing that it will come remotely close to being successful at is pissing me off further, which is only going to cause me to be increasingly irritating, seeing as my vocabulary seems to grow as I become more flustered. So how about you get the fuck off of me so we can get back to the goddamn house so I can go into a room, which I will have to share with your blithering idiot of a boyfriend, and pass the fuck out so I can get away from all of you people? I think that sounds like a pretty fucking top notch idea," he said.

Kirai stared down at him, the knife now twirling around in his hand like Cloud often did. "Well that was impressive."

Sora rolled her eyes and let go of him.

"Fine then...Go home. Both of you. I'll be home later in the morning. Later...maybe," Sora said the last part under her breath so they couldn't hear and got off of him and turned around. She looked to the wall to her left and then jumped up onto the top of the wall and took off jumping from the roofs. She vanished in the darkness as the sun finally set and nothing but darkness filled the area.

Lilly was cleaning up the living room and made sure to help Prism clean the rooms except Sora's still. The house was almost clean when Artemis came walking through the door.

"Alright shut up!"

Cloud sat up and glared up at Kirai, who was smirking down at him. "Give me my knife before I explode in an extravagant fit of rage."

Kirai simply looked at him and spun around, walking off towards the house. It was pretty close now, just at the end of the street.

"Kiraaaii," Cloud said slowly, standing up. "You just remember that I'm gonna be in a room with you.. remember the fucking reason why you're so goddamn scared of me," he grumbled, having to walk faster than usual to catch up to him.

"Give me the knife."

"Calm down Raincloud."

"Call me that again and I will strangle you so hard that-"

"You are quite violent today."

"Oh I wonder why. Maybe because you and your lovely girlfriend are highly skilled in the art of being fucking agitating without even trying. Give me. The knife."

Prism poked her head out of one of the rooms and looked at the door when she heard them arrive. "Well hello to you too, then."

"Tell them to shut up! They have done nothing but argue the whole way back from the store and now I have to buy them a damned leash or duct tape," said Artemis as he walked towards the kitchen.

"But she started it! I was only walking back and then she tripped me!,"Alex protested as he followed half through the living room and stopped.

"It was all that other girl's fault she kept following me and gave Artemis a head ache with all her questions," said Alex. "I did not trip you! Geez quit exaggerating!" Primrose sighed heavily and leaned in the doorway. "Why would I even trip you anyway?! I have like no problems with you. Until now of course," she added with a glare.

"Of course I was following you dumbass, we were all going to the same place..," she said with a roll of her eyes.

Prism laughed. "This is amusing."

"Oh my goodd can you get any more intolerable?" Cloud groaned with obvious annoyance at Kirai.

"Can you become any more of a whiny bitch?"

"Yes I can, would you like to witness it?" Cloud challenged with a glare.

"That is the exact opposite of what I would like to do. Congratz. You have won the prize."

"Well thank fucking god, I'd been trying so hard to win that goddamned thing," Cloud said sarcastically. He poked Primrose in the back of the head upon reaching the doorstep. "Hey. Move."

"Oh god Cloud's back," Prism said, sounding rather unenthusiastic.

"Missed you too."

"Liar...you did too trip me and you know you did because you stepped on the back of my foot and did it on purpose you meanie face!," Alex pouted at her.

Lilly came from downstairs carrying a bundle of bed sheets and then tossed them on a pile they made.

"What's going on?," she asked. "Primrose and Alex are arguing over something about tripping and Cloud and Kirai are back, though not Sora which is kind of unsettling," Prism explained to Lilly.

"Oh and also I think Artemis is going to explode."

Cloud snatched his knife back from Kirai while he wasn't looking and walked past Primrose, and into the house. "She said she'd be back later and then jumped ominously onto some roofs and into the sunset. It was quite a poetic exit."

"Also Cloud is talking like he's a fucking literature major," Kirai added. "And he claims that he can get bitchier than he is now.

Prism nodded. "He does that when he gets upset. And please, for the love of god, do not doubt him on that."

"Oooohhhhhhh okay...well then..maybe Cloud should go take a bath with bubbles I just cleaned the bathroom," said Lilly with a smile and then went back to place the bottle of bubble bath on the counter.

Artemis came back into the living room after he had finished putting away the food and he looked around.

"...Where's Sora?," he asked in a very curious but a warning tone in his voice. "Yes. That is a 'top notch idea'," Kirai said, mocking Cloud while simultaneously shoving him in the direction of the bathroom. "Go away."

"She's somewhere in the city probably doing something she really shouldn't be. Oh and please don't hit me for letting her. I'm a tortured soul I can't take an abusive relationship," Cloud joked, smiling tiredly over at Artemis.

"And if I even sit down at this point then I will pass out and if I do that in the bathtub then I will die."

"All the more reason to get your ass in the tub," Kirai said with a nod. Artemis pointed quickly for Cloud to head to the bathroom, "Get in there now..As for the rest of you except Lilly. You will all come with me to find my sister. At this hour..in the dark..when she upset you better hope she's not with her gang," he growled. He grabbed Kirai by the collar, "As for you..you better hope she hasn't run into anyone at this hour," Artemis growled as he headed out the door and shoved Kirai out of the way.
