As soon as Mei pulled into Cassidy's drive way, Cassidy muttered a quick goodbye and rushed out to her house. She opened the door quietly and then heard voices from the living room.

"Jean you have no idea how much I've missed you." Raina said.

"Only God knows how much I've prayed you'd come back to me." Said Jean, caressing her face.

"I think I'm gonna be sick." Cassidy thought running up to her room.

"Do you think she heard us?" Raina asked. Looking up toward the opening to the hallway.

"More than likely." Havoc said sadly.

"I-I should go, Edward will be wondering where I went off to." She said, getting up. She felt Jeans' hand grab hers.

"Don't go yet." He said, "I just go you back. I don't want to lose you again."

"Jean…" She said, sitting back down by him. She ran a hand across his face.

"Raina…" He said, getting closer to her.

"We shouldn't do this, she's right up stairs." She said, but he cut her off, by taking her lips onto hers. She hesitated at returning it at first, but gave into his nicotine smell that coated every inch of him. She heard footsteps but ignored them. She kissed him deeply and he returned it gratefully.

"Dad!" She heard. She broke off the kiss and looked toward her tearing daughter.

"Cassy, I-"

"You said you would never go back to her. You Promised!" She shouted before retreating back upstairs.

"Cassy!" He called back to her.

"I should go." Raina said sadly, "It's my fault anyway. I'll call you later." She said grabbing up her purse.

"One question, Raina, Do you think we could ever get back together?" He asked looking into her golden eyes.

"Anything is possible, Jean." She said smiling, before heading out. Leaving Jean with a small smile on his face. She closed the door and from behind her she heard,

"!"

"Oh Jean, You are such a Hic sometimes." She chuckled before pulling out a cell phone.

"Hello?"

"Little Brother. DO you think you could give me a ride back to your place?" She asked Edward over the phone.

"You know I can. Where are you at?"

"Uh Havoc's house."

"I'll be there soon."

Raina arrived at the house around half an hour later, Ed in tow.

"We're back!" Ed yelled through the house.

"Dinner will be on the table in a few minutes!" A feminine voice called from the Kitchen.

"What is it?" He asked headed to the kitchen door.

"My special Lasagna, salad and garlic bread." She said, while pushing him out of the kitchen, "Now, go get your sons, I'm fixing to take it out."

"You just don't want me to know what you put in that lasagna." He smirked, while headed to the staircase. He knocked on his son's doors as he passed each of them and then headed back down. 6 heads popped out from the two doors and looked questioningly to their father at the end of the hall.

"Dinner's ready." He said while quickly heading downstairs. His 6 sons following behind him.

A wonderful aroma filled their noses as they came into the dining room. Kiroki brought in the huge tray of lasagna and sat down by her father and her aunt. Everyone seated themselves and together, Kiroki and Raina said a prayer over the meal and began eating with everyone else.

"Sister, why do you do that?" Ed Jr. asked.

"Because, Eddy, I'm not an atheist like most of the family is. I believe in God and thank HIM for the provisions he gives us." She said before resuming eating.

"What's an atheist?" he questioned.

"A person who doesn't believe in God." Raina said, eyeing her brother.

"Hey I acknowledge the fact that there is a God!" Ed said.

"Yes you acknowledge it but even after all you've seen, you still don't truly believe that there is a God and we were saved by Jesus, his son." Raina said.

"There you go with all that who-ha again."

"The only reason you think it's who-ha is because you're a heathen." She said before resuming her meal. The rest of the meal was silent, until everyone was done.

"I'll clean up." Kiroki volunteered.

"No, Kiki its fine, I've got it, you cooked it." Ed countered.

"But-" she started before the door bell rang.

"You better get that." He smirked before ushering her off.

"Fine." She grumbled headed to the front room.

"Ed, You and I need to talk." Said Raina when everyone had left the room.

"About what?" he asked, stacking up the dirty plates.

"Your daughter." She said while taking up the glasses and heading to the kitchen.

"If this is about what I think it is, there is No way in Hell I would let her do that. She does enough as it is, the LAST thing she needs is to go off and tack that to her list of activities." He said while following his older sister and setting down the plates in the sink.

"Ed, you didn't even know what I was gonna ask." She said with a sigh.

"You want her to take the Oath of Elementation." He grumbled.

"How'd you know? You psychic to?"

"Call it a Lucky guess. Grandma's getting ready to step down from Creta and you'll be there fully. So someone has to be assigned to Amestris soon after. And she doesn't need that kind of weight on her shoulders. She's already military, and she has school, and work what more can you do with her?" He sighed as he washed a few of the dishes, then handing them to his sister to dry.

"Okay so you know me more than I thought you did… But it's not your decision! It's hers and I just want to offer it to her. She can't even apply until she's over 18 though. I and Grandma can keep both of the countries going until we get a new elementalist for Amestris though. But Creta doesn't like supporting Amestris forever. The ambassadors are starting to think that Amestris is lagging and depending on Creta for an elementalist."

"And you think my daughter is just gonna fill that spot. She doesn't even know the full scheme of it all!" he exclaimed, looking into his sister's golden eyes.

"That's what I'm for, I didn't have anyone to tell me what I was getting into, and so that's why I'm going to tell her what she needs to know. Trust me Edward, I know Kiroki knows what she can and can't do."

"Look I know she has every capability to do that, but if you tell her now, she'll think she's obligated to do that! She's just like me and every time I've been offered something of high position I take it! Why I don't know! But she does the same exact thing I do!"

"Look if I think she's jumping into too quick I'll talk her into waiting. Okay. She needs a bit more training before she's completely ready, anyway. I can give her that and supply her with all the information I need."

"I still don't think she should do it at all." He said looking straight into his sister's eyes.

"I told you, before you even knew you'd have her, that she'd be special in this process. And I told you, long ago, that with or without your permission, that I would make sure her duty is fulfilled."

"I know, but I still don't want her doing this." He sighed.

"But I can still tell her, right?" she asked with a sudden glee.

"Yes…" he said trailing off as his sister fled for her niece's room.

When Kiroki opened the door she was bombarded by her pack of friends, minus Cassidy.

"Guys what are you doing?" she asked.

"We've come to see how you are! I mean you weren't at school today so I figured you were heartbroken, so now we're here for you!" Anne exclaimed.

"Heartbroken?" she asked.

"You know, *whispers* Aaron." Anne whispered.

"Y-ya really gotta remind me?" she said quietly before running up the stairs. Anne, followed by Taylor and Seth ran up after her.

"Kiki!" she called coming in behind her.

"What's wrong?" Raina asked, coming in there seeing Taylor at the bottom.

"Anne was talking about what Aaron did to Kiroki and it upset her." He said clarifying.

"What happened?" Edward asked, coming in.

"Anne was talking about Aaron to Kiroki and now she's upset."

"What did Aaron do?" Edward asked. Seething in rage.

"He dumped her." He said before running upstairs.

"The little-"

"Ed, later." Raina said, "For now let her contain herself, and leave her alone."

"She didn't even tell me!"

"You wonder why? It's because you'll blow up and cause a big scene and try to kill him. Now go and cool off." She commanded.

"But-"

"Edward Adrian Elric, go, NOW." She growled to her younger sibling.

He glared for a second before retreating to the living room.

"Kiroki! Open the door!" Anne called through Kiroki's locked door.

"NO! Leave me alone!" she yelled back.

"Look, Kiks, we know you're upset bu-" taylor started.

"I'm NOT UPSET!" she yelled. The door slammed open to her tearstained face.

"There is absolutely no reason for me to be upset over that two timing, womanizing song of a bitch! All he is, is another piece of dog shit on the highway of my life! SO PISS ON HIM!" she exclaimed slamming the door again, only to get caught by Anne's foot. Anne heard Kiroki stomp up to her matteress and plop down. When she heard sobs erupt she stepped in and closed the door quietly behind her, leaving Seth and Taylor in the hallway.

She fumbled through the cluttered room up to the matteress and sat down by her friends head. She cautiously reached and began stroking the long gold hair that had fallen from her ponytail when she was running.

"Kiroki-baby sit up." She said.

"No, go away." Her voice muffled by the covers.

"Sit up." She said, pulling her hair.

"OWW!" she yelled sitting on her knees.

"Shoulda just sat up." Anne muttered, "Now tell me what he did."

She pulled an arm across her face and wiped most of the tears.

"So I'm just home from church in Rizembool, right? I get a call from him and he says he loves this other person, drops me like a rock and hangs up!" she said, her throat erupting in sobs. Anne brought her into a sisterly hug and stoked her hair as she sobbed out all her tears.

"There there, everythings gonna be okay."

"But Anne!" she said sitting up now, "I still love him!"

"Well apparently he can return you feelings no longer, so move on."

"That's what people keep saying! But I can't! I love him!"

"It takes time to move on, but it's best if you get over him now."

"I know, it's just-"

"Your still in love with him?"

She nodded, tears brimming in her gold eyes.

"Well when you go back to school, trust me you'll be over him."

"How do you know?"

"Because you'll be super pissed when you see who he's with."

"Who? Who's he with."

"I- I can't even say her name, she makes me so mad." Anne growled out.

"Then I guess I'll have to find out tomorrow." She said wiping her tears.

*next day*

Kiroki awoke early the next morning, she showered quickly and dressed in her bleach stained and ripped up jeans with a graphic tee shirt with the Pepsi sign on it *cause Pepsi rocks!* she put on her dark blue converse and tied her cookie monster hoodie around her waist. Then she brushed out her butt length hair and tied it in a high ponytail.

She raced down the stairs and started on making breakfast.
And after 20 minutes of cooking, she had 8 plates filled with scrambled eggs, conecha sausage, bacon and toast. She checked the time, 6:30, a half hour till the bus came.

She ran to the staircase,

"DADDY! BOYS! BREAKFAST!" she called from the end of the hall, before running down back to the bar and stealing her plate, dousing her scrambled eggs in hot sauce at the same town.

Her 6 brothers came down shortly all dressed for school and each grabbed their food and scarfed it down quickly. Then a few seconds later, Ed came down and swiftly gobbled it all down. She checked the time, 10 minutes till the bus arrived.

"Guys bus'll be here in 10 minutes!" she called as she saw her brother's retreat. She heard a few gasp and quick feet running toward the bathroom. She gave a small smirk before going up and grabbing her backpack. She took the stairs back down two by two, and barreled out the door giving her father a quick goodbye. She ran over to her bus stop and awaited the yellow school bus to come and pick her up.

"You don't want to drive?" asked Eli as he came up behind her.

"No. I'm fine with rideing the bus. You going to ride too?"

"Yeah, so is Jacob and Jason. Dad's dropping off James Mattie and Eddy." He said, his younger brother's approaching.

"Here's our question." Jacob started.

"Why is it," Jason, "That all of us can drive," Jacob, "But we always ride the bus," Jason, "Or we walk?" Jacob ended.

"You know I don't really know!" Kiroki exclaimed as the bus came and openend the door.

They walked up into the bus and took their normal seats, but as Kiroki walked toward her seat by Cassy she noticed some small sadness on her cousins face.

She sat down by her,

"What's wrong?" she asked Cassy.

"I think Dad's getting back together with her."

"Really? That's great!" she exclaimed.

"NO it's not! He promised me he would never go back to her!" she exclaimed.

"Cassy, I know that you hate your mom right now but you have to forgive her eventually, if your dad made up with her then they'll probably get back toghther and then you'll be back with your siblings again! Won't that be great!"

"Kinda, it just she hurt me when she hurt my dad."

"Yeah well I'm gonna pound whoever Aaron's with now and then I'm going to beat the snot out of him, so I guess we're both in a small pickle right now." I said smirking.

"Don't look now but he's about to get on with that hoe." She muttered looking toward the window. Kiroki looked toward the front and saw Aaron coming on followed by a certain red head.

"No. It's. HER?" she exclaimed.

"Yeah, it's Marrissa again. She's back and kicking like crazy." Cassy said with venom.

"After all that…I'm going to KILL her." Kiroki growled, anger glowing.

"I get second blow. No one hurts my cousin and gets away with it." Cassy spat. Aaron passed by Kiroki without a second glance while holding Marrissa's small fragile hand.

"Hello there Miss Used-To-Be." Marrisa sneered while walking by.

"Excuse me? What was that?" she asked standing.

"You heard me, hoe." She sneered again letting go of Aaron.

"Your just itchin to get yourself in a fight aren't you?" Kiroki asked, clenching her fist.

"I don't know, maybe I am, maybe not." She said, glaring at her.

"Girls!" Called the bus driver, "No fighting on my bus!"

"Yes ma'am." They muttered, going back to there seats.

*at the school*

Kiroki and walked in front of her friends with a stubborn set in mind as she entered her English class. She took a different seat for the day because her usual was by Aaron who she wanted nothing to do with now.

As the lesson began she wandered off into her thinking state and began contemplating the pros and cons of her breakup.

'On one note I don't have to worry about being tied down. But I just lost one of my best friends. But I also don't have to worry about him doing things behind my back. But now I have to take extra steps to avoid him…'

"KIROKI!" her uncle called to her from the front of the room.

"Sir?" she asked coming out of her state.

"Pay attention. You look like a statue back there." He said before continueing the lesson on figurative language. After awhile the class ended and she headed to music class.

"Okay class it's recording day Monday and the group with the best music gets to have their song played on the radio!" Ms. Elicia started.

A chorus of boos and yays was heard throughout the room.

"Now all of you break off into groups and go wild!" she exclaimed before turning her back.

"Um… Miss Elicia, do you mind if we change a few partners?" Marrissa asked in her squeally voice.

"It depends, who is it you want in your group?" she questioned.

"Aaron Mustang," she said cooly.

"Well Kiroki, doy your mind if he switches over?

"No, take him, like I care." She said, shooing him as if he were a disease.

"o-kay then? Aaron your with Marrissa's group now, but that leaves yall without a base player ya know." Elicia said.

Suddenly the door opened.

"Um excuse me, is this 2nd period…Music?" a familiar boy asked coming in the door.

"Yes, why?" Elicia asked the 17 year old. He looked to her with his bright green eyes.

"Umm, I'm new here and my scheduale says I'm sussposed to be here." He said, pushing the dirty blonde hair out of his eyes.

"What's your name?" she asked motioning for him to come to the front.

"Uh, Adam Kyle Johnson." He said coming to the center of the room.

"Do you play any instruments, Adam?" Elicia asked him.

"I play the base guitar." He said.

"Then you'll fit in Kiroki's group over there." She said shoving him toward her group.

"Wait a second, Kiki?" he asked looking at her.

"Adam? What are you doing here?"

END OF CHAPTER12~

But anyways… I figured I'd grace you guys with an update. I just hate that only my true readers ever review. I want to know what you like or dislike. But I don't want you to be a crude bitch when you publicly say you don't like it. If you don't like it then don't review. But if you do like it review. That's all I ask.

And I'm gonna take down my poll soon and probably replace it with some bullshit cause no one else will vote…so yeah…that's it.
