Battle high: not your average high school
After Battle fourty-two
Store complications in the group
Lilly glared and then turned to Kirai and dropped him on his ass and then without warming she let her claws appear and turned around before Kiki could see them and as she walked towards the wall she slashed a whole shelf down.
Alex looked away from the very scary Lilly. Then looked back to Harmony, "Nothing much Harmony, where have you been?," he asked with a face. "Hidiiing,"said Harmony with a slight giggle, Artemis was dying on the inside.
Harmony then glanced up slightly and saw Kiki, she fell silent and hid behind Alex peeked from behind to look at Kiki. She had to act like opposite of Alex, in other words, shy, Artemis was dying so much now and held onto Alex's coat tightly.
"Who's that person?," she whispered to Alex. Kiki pouted up at Kirai and then laughed when he was dropped onto the floor. "Come on Kirai, I'll be fine."
"You say that every goddamned time," Kirai grumbled, standing up so he wouldn't have to look up at her anymore. "You're gonna get yourself hurt."
"So are you, hanging around all these people," Kiki replied, gesturing to the rest of the group. She gave Alex and Harmony a questioning look, but upon determining that she really didn't care what they were saying, looked back up at Kirai. "Now shush. Where is she?"
"I already told you. We don't know." Kirai spun her around and then pushed her gently towards the exit. "Bye. Say hi to Taiki for me."
Prism stood next to Alex so she could ask him something. "Have you seen Cloud?" she whispered, starting to get a tad concerned. "Harmony thats Kiki, she goes to the same school as Kirai, Artemis, and Sora," said Alex as he patted her on the head. He then looked at Prism, "No I haven't, but you better go find him before she does on accident, Cloud is still in a mood I'm guessing," guessed Alex.
"I'll go find him," said Lilly as she walked past them and shoved Kiki out of her way roughly and accidently and cutting her with her claws by accident.
Harmony looked over at Kiki,"She's weird big brother..why is she after your friend? And why does she care about Kirai in danger here? If he was in danger then why would I be here?," asked Harmony.
"Good point, you don't know how to fight so you'll be going to the same school as me where I can keep and eye out for you and as for an answer I have no idea," said Alex. Kiki ignored getting cut and looked at Harmony. "I'm weird? What are you, sixteen? And you're still talking like you're four? Yes, I am definitely the strange one here," she said with a roll of her eyes. "And she's after your friend because your friend seems to be under the impression that I'm not better than her, and that needs to be quickly corrected."
She looked back at Kirai. "Anyway. I don't have to listen to you, dear."
Kirai shrugged. "Never said you had to. But when you come back mangled and broken, don't say I didn't warn you."
"Fuck..," Prism mumbled when Lilly volunteered herself. With Cloud still on his man-period and in this relationship crisis, the last thing he needed was for Lilly to go find him. Harmony looked at Kiki and pouted a bit but said nothing more, if she had, she would've blown her cover of who she really was at that point.
"Leave my sister alone, it's my fault anyways since I always treated her like my baby sister until this age and besides. At least she has someone who cares for her and listens to someone who cares, she may not know how to fight that well but she's smart enough not to even bother with you since the questions were not directed at you dumbass," growled Alex. He held Harmony close to him protectively and made sure he couldn't let go of her.
Lilly walked down every aisle looking for Cloud and once she found him she tapped him on the shoulder carefully so as not to cut him.
"Cloud."
"Ouch. I'm gonna need some aloe vera for that burn, cause I definitely give a big enough shit to care about what you just said," Kiki said sarcastically, her expression looking bored.
She sighed. "This isn't as entertaining as I thought it would be. See you later Kirai~" she said sweetly, and then walked out of the store, followed by her apathetic escort.
Kirai sighed heavily once she was gone. "I do not know how Taiki can put up with that girl."
Cloud jumped about a foot in the air when he was tapped on the shoulder. "Whaat the fuck-"
He had been thinking hard about everything and hadn't even noticed anyone approaching him. He looked up from the ground at Lilly. "W-what?"
Alex rolled his eyes as Kiki left the store and released his grip on Harmony as she came from behind him and tried to ignore her performance just now.
Lilly looked at him, "Prism wondered where you were and so I came looking for you," said Lilly calmly. She crossed her arms and blew a part of her bangs out of her face and looked at him with icy blue eyes, "So come on, let's get going back to the others, we ran into Kiki and shit happened now come on," Lilly said as she turned to leave. Cloud stared at her, extremely surprised that she didn't scream at him just now. Maybe she didn't actually know. Then again, it was obvious that she did. Cloud cautiously followed her back to the group.
As soon as Cloud was in sight Prism rushed over to him. "By the way, as of now you're not allowed out of my sight, got it?" she asked with a serious tone.
Cloud glared at her, not liking the fact that she was using her authority against him. "Whatever."
Lilly glared at Cloud icily and then growled angrily as she started to take her claws and dig her claws into the wall angrily. She started to feel her anger grow more as the minutes passed and she knew she had to quickly get out of the store.
"I'll be waiting out in the fucking front of the damned store," she said angrily with a hint of her wolf growl in her voice. Lilly shoved her way passed Cloud and Prism and made sure Cloud was shoved into the corner of a shelf.
"Someone's pissed off as fucking hell," said Harmony.
"Yeah and guess who's fault it is," Cloud snapped at her, trying not to look like he was in too much pain from being slammed into that shelf.
"Uh, you?" Prism said. "Don't try and redirect that on her."
"He contributed as much as I did!"
"Not really no."
"Yes really, you dumbfuck. He did the exact same thing I did, and I'm getting all the shit for it just because my girlfriend isn't a fucking clueless pre-teen and can actually figure shit out!"
"Hey! I swear if it wasn't for this that would've never happened and if maybe you hadn't carried me from what Alex told me, and then you wouldn't be the one in deep shit. This is mostly your fault at this point," said Harmony with a narrowed gaze.
"Knock it off both of you. I'll say this one time Cloud and Harmony. You two had better fucking make a careful decision on who you want to be with, because if you don't find out. They will and you'll have a wolf on your ass, a Shooter and Primrose," Alex shouted at them.
"Now calm the fuck down before I go Shooter on your ass and Harmony with this new look of yours you have no control of your Shooter as a girl so don't try that one me," Alex said to Harmony angrily.
"Oh so was I supposed to just leave you in the fucking street?" Cloud asked, getting irritated again. "Yeah that would've been a great fucking idea, then I'd have you all up in my shit for that too."
Prism flicked Cloud on the forehead. "Shut up. Go back to thinking; you're less difficult to be around when you don't talk."
"I've already fucking thought about every goddamn thing there is to think about in the world."
"And have you made a decision yet?"
"No. I can't make a decision by myself, Prism, this whole fucking problem involves two people," Cloud grumbled to her.
"Then go talk." She shoved Cloud into Harmony and then pushed them both further away. "And don't stop talking until you make a fucking choice!"
"You moron, I could've easily carried her for you then you wouldn't be in deep shit," growled Alex. He watched as Harmony and Cloud were shoved into a different area to make a decision.
Alex shook his head, "Listen while they talk lets go find her an outfit then come back for her and have her try it on," suggested Alex. He wanted to make sure they still got what they wanted for her and that those two would get time to talk.
Harmony crossed her arms over her chest and pouted as she looked away from Cloud. Prism nodded. "Good idea." Then she smiled when she remembered he plan from before. "And, for a reason I'm not telling you, it has to be blue."
Cloud sighed when he was left alone with Harmony. He'd hoped he wouldn't have had to have this conversation for a while longer. He hadn't straightened out his feelings enough yet, so he wasn't as prepared as he had wanted to be.
"So.. what exactly.. are.. your thoughts on our situation?" he asked slowly. Alex looked at her with confusion but thought it was batter not to ask, "Then let's go look at everything that would work for her then," said Alex.
Harmony looked away from him pouting still; she then gave it some thought and slightly looked up at him with bright blue eyes.
"...I..I feel bad for doing this to Primrose...but...,"Harmony slowly tried to put her words together. Prism giggled with delight when he didn't question it and skipped off to go find suitable choices, pulling Alex along. No matter what Cloud said, what she was going to do would only prove that Prism was indeed the best sister in the world.
Cloud only looked at her, having an idea of where she was going with this but not wanting to jump to any conclusions. "..but..?"
Alex grumbled as she pulled him along but smiled when he knew it was only because she had some plan in her head that involved tormenting Cloud at the same time
Harmony didn't say anything yet for a minute as she stood there with Cloud,"...But...I...I really like...you," Harmony whispered the last part just barely so that Cloud could still hear her. Cloud tried to keep himself from smiling but failed miserably. He looked down at the floor. "Goddammit Artemis you are not making this very easy," he said with a bit of a laugh, but it sounded slightly nervous.
"I suppose that. I. Um... yeah I pretty much feel the exact same fucking way so..," he said quietly, looking in any direction that wasn't Harmony's.
"Well neither are you," said Harmony with annoyance in her voice and then slightly looked up at Cloud then quickly looked away from him. She looked at the wall for a moment and waited for the rest of Cloud's answer and said nothing to him, she felt her nails digging into her arms as she waited.
"Prism..do we need this much blue?!,"Alex asked him surprised as how much he was carrying.
"Yes, yes we do." Prism said with a nod. "Oh wait! I'm pretty sure Cloud likes purple too, considering his sword is purple and also his knives were slightly purple as well, so we can substitute some of this blue for that," she declared. This was the best plan. Ever. Because she already knew who Cloud was going to choose.
It would be quite obvious if you were his twin sister as well.
Cloud coughed a little. "So I guess.. that.. w-what I'm trying to say is.. that I'm.. choosing you? I guess that's how I should word it?" he stuttered, still refusing to look at her except for in quick glances to gauge her reaction.
Alex laughed a bit, "Well if this is everything, we should get going back to them and get her into these things and have her pick the damned outfit already cause I don't like carrying blue," said Alex teasingly.
Harmony looked up at him quickly when he told her his decision. She blinked stupidly for a couple of moments confused at first and held her breathe as she looked at him. She was surprised at his answer at first before she knew it she had her arms wrapped around him.
"Mnah," Prism said, sticking her tongue out at him in response. "You think they're done professing their love yet?"
Cloud laughed when he was hugged, but reciprocated the action nonetheless. "Damn, are you gonna be this affectionate when you turn back into a guy or should I cherish it now?" he teased.
