Battle high: not your average high school

After Battle thirty-eight

Morning struggles

"God fucking dammit," Cloud growled into the couch cushion. "It's gonna get fucking ran over or some shit!"

"Then go get it, dumbass," Prism told him, lying down on the couch opposite to him.

"But it's aaaall the way back there," he complained.

"Yaaay~" Kirai said. He hadn't actually expected her to agree to leaving yet. He poked Sora lightly. "You'll be fine. I doubt you'll even have to see him, he's prolly asleep."

Lilly stopped a moment and glanced back to Cloud and then rolled her eyes at him and walked away from the house heading towards her pack.

"Well then if it gets run over it shouldn't break you know," said Alex.

Sora nodded, she started to climb out of the tree house and waited for Kirai to join her.

"Yeah, and either way you had like four knives in the first place," Prism pointed out.

"Not anymore.. I was using a spare one which I dropped, and Artemis threw one at me, and it landed next to the other one," Cloud said with a pout.

"Oh dear, only two left?" his sister replied, faking concern.

"Shut up."

Kirai decided it was easier to jump, and, not caring that he would most likely hurt himself severely, did just that. Surprisingly he didn't break either of his legs like he'd expected to. "Heh."

"I can make you new knives later if we go back into the forest and find the right metals in the stones. Will that make you happy?," asked Alex with a sigh.

Sora nodded and started to head back to the house, she dreaded going back to see her nightmare again but said nothing about it.

"Yes, yes it will," Cloud said, rolling over so he wasn't facing anyone anymore. "I'll go to sleep now."

"Thank god," Prism mumbled.

"I totally heard that."

"That was totally the point."

Kirai knew she was still scared but didn't say anything. At this point, talking about it would only make it worse. Alex rolled his eyes and sat down not far from Prism and set the glass of juice down on the table next to him and sighed.

"Today we get enrolled remember?," he asked her.

Sora walked slowly up to the door and peeked inside and looked around. "Awwwh maan," Prism sighed. "I reaally don't wanna go to school.. I have a feeling I'm going to end up hitting a lot of people.."

She looked to the door when she thought she heard something, but didn't see Sora and dismissed it as the wind.

"Well we have to go, and only Sora can register us now that Artemis is a girl he can't go to Battle High," said Alex. Sora looked around and then walked into the room quietly without a word. "Ohh snap. So now Cloud's going to school with Artemis aaand Lilly.. hehe. At least that'll make it more entertaining," Prism said with a smile.

Kirai peeked into the room from behind the door, not wanting to make any noise and blow Sora's cover as well as his. "Haha thats true, I wonder how that will work out for all three of them?," asked Alex as she glanced over at Cloud wondering if he could hear them.

Sora glanced at them before running up the stairs to her room and closed the door locking it. "Me too.. I kinda feel bad for him.. but then again he got himself into this," Prism told him. "I imagine it will be catastrophic."

Kirai stepped inside after a few moments and looked around. "Did she..?"

"What?" Prism was surprised to see Kirai here. "When did you get here?"

"Never mind that. Did I miss anything?"

Prism glanced at Cloud. "Umm.. nnoooope," she lied, nodding her head as she did so. "You didn't miss a daaamn thing." She pointed towards the back bedroom and then to Cloud, and then made a little heart with her fingers.

Kirai smirked at the younger twin, getting the gestures. "I see."

Alex nodded when Kirai fully understood.

"And that will make it worse since Lilly, Cloud and Artemis will all be at the same school. Sora has to register us now, guess what kind of hell that will bring up?," laughed Alex. He shook his head still unable to believe what had happened last night and was still imagining the hell that would be unleashed.

"Well that should be pretty awesome," Kirai said with a laugh. "Cloud's quite the player isn't he? Quite surprising that these many people like him actually-"

"Cloud can hear you," said player announced, his words muffled by the couch cushion. "Kirai is just jealous because he only has one girlfriend," he joked, putting one finger up to emphasize his point.

"Uh, excuse you; you have one girlfriend as well."

"Artemis counts as a girl for now."

"Are you guys really arguing about this?" Prism asked with a giggle. "Really now? If you start to fight about this I'm going to wake up Harmony myself and make sure she's the one to deal with this now," Alex warned.

"Or..I could go get Sora if she's back yet," Alex warned with more emphasis and smirked.

He knew neither of them would want Sora to come down pissed off to find out of what had happened the night before and to find out what Sora would do to them.

"No," all three of them said together. All of them knew that that was not, in any way, shape or form, a good idea.

"She would probably rip my limbs off one by one and then feed them to Lilly who would happily devour them upon discovering what just happened," Cloud theorized.

"And then she'd let Harmony have a go at you.. and it wouldn't be fun after what you guys just went through. She's still mad at you isn't she?" Prism asked.

Cloud only glared at her.

"I wish I could've seen it," Kirai said with a disappointed look. "Sounds like it was amusing."

"No. It was mostly us yelling at each other and then he broke into tears and passed out," Cloud told him.

"Also I lost my knife again."

"Heaven forbid."

Alex laughed, "Well if you don't want me to go and get her you two better knock it off. Because if not..then not only will I go get her, I will go find Lilly myself and tell her what had happened and I'm sure Cloud does not want a Shooter and a wolf on his ass. He may have one Shooter after him in a different method, but I'm betting he doesn't want the more dangerous Shooter after him now does he?," asked Alex with a laugh.

He made sure they got to hint to knock off the arguing. "Fiiine," Kirai said reluctantly.

"We weren't even really arguing yet," Cloud pointed out. "It was more like pointless banter. Because that's the only way we can communicate."

"Nobody said you two even had to communicate," Prism told him, throwing a pillow at him and hitting him in the head.

Cloud left it there. "Go away."

"Why don't you go to sleep already?," Alex complained as he was tempted to throw his juice on Cloud's head. He was already getting tired of the damn bantering and crap.

"Well I was tryyyying when a certain group of people decided to talk about my conflicts right in front of me," Cloud grumbled, closing his eyes anyway. "Shut up and I'll be able to sleep."

"Go to your room and sleep on the other bed dumbass..," growled Alex. Alex was starting to get tired now and was not realizing he was tired from staying out all night and getting no sleep at night. Cloud turned his head the other way to look at Alex skeptically. "There aren't two beds in there.." He hadn't remembered seeing one when he had put Harmony in there. "Unless I didn't see it? But I think I would've seen it.."

"Go sleep in Kirai's bed or something."

Kirai then proceeded to go upstairs and lock himself in his room, preventing Cloud from getting in.

"..or don't."

"Whatever I'm going to your room," Cloud said, standing up and walking upstairs as well, probably shutting the door to Prism's room a little too loudly.

Prism sighed. "At least he's gone."

Alex sighed in relief and started to fall asleep but shook his head to try and stay awake no matter what.

"I'm...not...sleepy...,"he said and then just fell asleep on his own instantly.

"I think you are incorrect, sir," Prism said quietly with a smile, and closed her eyes, eventually falling asleep like everyone else did.

Sora came out of her room after an hour had gone by. She looked outside her door for a moment in some clean clothes and walked down the stairs to the kitchen for some juice. She put some bread in the toaster and poured herself some juice, she then grabbed the bread from the toaster when it came up and put her juice in a water bottle then grabbed her small bag of money and attached a hidden blade in each of her sleeves and then ran out the front door quickly with some toast in her mouth.

She had left a note on the table letting everyone know she had gone to the store. Cloud, Prism and Kirai remained asleep for a while longer than Sora, until the twins both woke up when they heard a crashing noise.

Prism sat up on her couch and looked into the kitchen to see Kirai giving her an apologetic look and a thumbs-up to show that everything was fine.

She rolled her eyes and laid back down, pretending it never happened. It wasn't long until Harmony eventually woke up, she laid in the bed a little longer to try and remember what had happened but everything was foggy at the moment. She would remember when she was fully awake, she slowly sat up in bed and then got to her feet carefully and made her way for the door.

Harmony held onto the collar of her shirt to keep it up since it was bigger on her then she had thought. She made her way for the top of the stairs and slowly started to make her way only to fall and crash down the stairs instead. Cloud came out of his room, grumbling things about loud noises when he noticed the Harmony was on the floor at the bottom of the stairs.

Confused, he walked calmly to the bottom and sat on the first step.

"You alright there?"

Harmony looked up at him as she sat up carefully. She gave him a nod and yawned and rubbed her eyes before trying to standing up again. She looked around slightly confused. Cloud saw the look in her eyes and laughed a little. She was still quite sleepy, wasn't she? "I assume you don't remember much yet?"

Harmony looked at him a bit lost in what he said but simply nodded slightly. She looked around and shook her head a bit to wake up but found it only made her more sleepy again. She yawned again. Cloud patted Harmony on the head lightly. "You will once you wake up," he assured her, standing up and walking out into the living room.

He poked Prism until she opened her eyes and glared at him. "What."

"Morning to you too."
