[i]Strange choice in words... I'd usually like that."[/b] he thought to himself sadly. Sighing, Tamani sat up and looked up at Ms.Beats with a slightly elevated eyebrow. I can't let T.K. be put into all of this... he thought. He grunted as he got to his feet and then walked over to her. Placing a hand on her shoulder he smiled very carefully, as if he were forcing himself to smile.
"Pah. A gentleman can't leave a lady to fend for herself, now can he?"
She got a real happy face on. "Really? Oh, thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" she said very merrily, "Now It is about 5:00 Am I correct? Then, we just have to find a way to dodge them," At this point she went into a deep thought Okay... if we go through the school then the kids could get hurt. We can not have that. We could try and just do a drive and dodge by racing around the track but, the car is almost out of gas. I forgot to fill it this morning. But, WAIT! That's it the car! The car has a lot of different things we could use. Lets see I remember that the gun is in the glove compartment. But, it is not loaded the bullets are in the trunk. The trunk also, has some new technology. But, I do not know how to use technology very well. Wait, he is the computer technology teacher, he might be interested in using this stuff. I think some bullet proof vests are there as well. That is it we will go to the car and the stuff. It only took a minute to think of this until she snapped back to reality. "Follow me to my car. I know what we need. When we get there, there are some gadgets and gizmos I think you may be interested in that are in the trunk."
"Things I may be interested in?" this definitely piqued his interest. Like what? Oh, what the hell am I getting myself into? he thought, still a bit upset with himself on how well he got himself stuck into this hole. He followed Ms.Beats to the car, his eyes trained on the sway of the woman's hair. he needed something badly to concentrate on, otherwise he would just die of freaking out.
"What kind of things?" he asked, both of his eyebrows raised. "Because there are a lot of things I am interested in right now."
"You like technology right?" she said, "Well, my ex-boyfriend HAD some technology that even the military doesn't even have yet. Fortunately for us I have it. He kept everything in his car but, now it is mine. This technology uses brain wave activity to control a person from afar. Only one was made so far and It is in the car. I think it would benefit us," She tried to make him be as excited about it as possible. She noticed the way he was looking at her hair. Teehee.... he was looking at my hair. I wonder what he thinks of me? I hope he like me the way I like him.
Anaya looked down as he called her perfect. Oh, but perfection is far from reality. Its what anyone may strive to be, but never gets to be. I am far from perfect. So very far. she thought to herself. She smiled some as she tried to come up with something witty to say, but nothing came of it. She just looked up at Edge in silence.
She had something to say, but she felt like an idiot trying to say it in her head. She wanted to tell him not to say that about himself, but she wanted to leave the gloomy feelings behind. And they quickly left her head as she realized that Edge was shirtless, leaning over her and they were sitting on her bed. Her cheeks suddenly went extremely red and she get really flustered.
"Errm... er... I'm going to go get dressed..." she said quietly, leaning forward to grab her garment bag off of the floor.
"Military tech? Oh, wow, really?" his eyes lit up. He felt like a kid that just everything on his list that he wanted for Christmas. He always had a soft spot for military stuff. He listened to hear that it was mind control technology. He stopped and grabbed the girl by her shoulder, his jaw dropping some.
"You're kidding me. This is all just something out of a book I read." he said to her, his voice serious. He was sure this was all a dream. "A beautiful woman with a psycho ex-boyfriend who wants to kill her and anyone who associates with her and mind control? Am I dreaming?"
"No," She said. "You are not dreaming. This is about as real as it gets. And, wait, you think I am beautiful? Aww Thanks. But, we must not stay here long. Look there is my car right there," she pointed to a beautiful car that had a black body but, a green trim with beautiful swirl designs in green. "Isn't it lovely?" she said with a playful voice. She the got out the keys and pressed the trunk open button. She then ran over and looked through her trunk. She accidentally bent over in a way that gave a great view of her lower half. It took about a minute to find it and she pulled out a what looked like a pair of Chrome Headphones. "This is it. I love these because, they give the best sound quali- wow going into too much detail. Here put them on. They are adjustable so they should be able to fit," she helped him put them on. "Now to use it, these headphones are voice activated. To activate its special qualities just say 'play' it should then give you a heads-up display of the environment around you. It has many different modes, including scanning, heat scanner, mind control, and many others but, we are not concerned about those others. what time is it?" She looked at a local clock tower that mysteriously just got there and it said 5:05. Another twenty five minutes, We can do this. Just gotta get my gun. Oh i forgot! She reached back into the trunk and pulled out two bullet proof vests. She threw one to Tamani and said, "Here put this on. It will help you not get shot,"
Tamani just stared at the woman, still in disbelief. He then directed his attention to the car. He personally found it rather distasteful. He preferred motorcycles to cars and other enclosed vehicles, but they were on the run, and it was not a matter of comfort. He watched as she pulled open the trunk and lean forward to pull something out. He smirked some to himself at view before he pulled a serious face and nodded. He let her help him put them over his ears. He listened to her instructions and as soon as she left for a moment, he said, "Play." like she said, everything came up. He grinned like a madman as he tested out the different settings. Suddenly, something came flying at him and he caught it. It was a thick vest that he recognized to be bulletproof. He glanced at the woman and nodded.
Tamani just realized how dangerous this was now. And it was no longer a game to him. He could get killed now. He sighed and put it on quickly.
"Okay, we should now be able to hear each other no matter how far away we are," she said, "I modified them on my running days to do that. Also, I can see what you see if I want and as long as you are wearing the headphones. Do not worry I will not know what you are thinking. So your thoughts, how dirty or clean or whatever they may be. I did this to make sure if whoever is wearing them is in danger I could find them and help them. But, now is not the time to go into details. I have to get my gun," She then ran to the front passenger seat and went in and opened the glove compartment and grabbed her Elegant .45 pistol. The handle was Green and black and had swirls just like the car. This made it obvious that those were the mafias colors. "This gun has helped me through so much. Now we are prepared," she said as she looked at the watchtower that still was not there yesterday. 5:10 Twenty minutes. Okay, we need to find a place safe that will not get others hurt and- her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a gun shot. She turned and looked and saw that they finally caught up and were running towards them. "SHIT! We gotta find someplace to hide. Do you know somewhere we could go?" She asked Tamani.
Suddenly she heard sirens. "The police are here already? YES! FINALLY, I can stop running," she said in happiness. "Mame you can put that gun down now we will take care of the situation from here. You can relax. If you have any evidence please hand it over now," the police officer said. She gave her all of the physical evidence (Well, all except the gun and the headphones and the car.) She could finally be at peace. Now I have time to flirt with Tamani.... Teehee
Tamani watched as the police officer interrogation Ms.Beats. When the woman disappeared, he grinned at Ms.Beats. "So, Ms.Beats." he said, running a hand through his already mussed up hair. "Are we still on for the dance?" he asked, cocking his head slightly to the right.
She looked at him for a minute and saw the way he looked at her. She couldn't help but, say, "Yes," She took his hand and finally was able to go to the dance with him. As they walked she laid her head on his shoulder. So this is what happiness feels like? I love it it feels so nice. Just like his shoulder.
Tamani wrapped an arm over Ms.Beats's shoulders and sighed. "They won't come after you anymore?" he asked. "I mean, I'd get tired of being chased by a crazy guy." He laughed quietly and stared up at the sky. She'd be too much trouble if someone kept coming after her... he thought.
"No they will never come back the whole mafia has tried to chase me now they are all locked up," she said, "No one will try to come after me again,"
She saw her ex-boyfriend and her gang get hand-cuffed and put in the back of a swat car.
"I F@#$ING HATE YOU BEATS! I WILL NEVER GIVE UP I WILL FIND YOU I SWEAR!" her ex-boyfriend said. "Oh give it a rest," the police woman said, "You have the right to remain silent anything you say or do can be used against you, you have the right to an attorney and have the right to console that attorney before questioning, if you are unable to afford an attorney the state will give you one. Okay now we can go. Oh and Ms. Beats thanks for the call!"
"Don't worry with the crimes they have commited they will most likely get the death sentence," she said, "Now lets go,"
"Bu-but I'm flustered anyway... And I just so happen to like your bare chest..." she said quietly. She didn't mean to say the last part, so she winced some as she said it. Anaya felt like a complete idiot right now, and she couldn't say anything right. She bit her lip and looked up at Edge with an expression of utter guilt and confusion.
"Please disregard anything I may say in this state." she said, a slight laugh in her voice to try to help him understand that it was just a joke.
Tamani's eyes widened some at the last comment of Ms.Beats. He looked over at her with a slightly elevated eyebrow before chuckling and shaking his head. "You're unbelievable, Ms.Beats. Just unbelievable."
He leaned his head back and looked at the sky, pondering the time.
It was in fact nearly 6 o'clock, and the dance was to start in an hour. He checked his wrist and came to that conclusion.
"I hope they'll still let us in. I think I dropped my mask off of the balcony as we fell." he said, his voice quiet and calm in a strange way after everything that had happened.

"I am not sure whether or not to take that as a compliment or an insult but, I will take it as a compliment. Oh, and about that mask," She said as she reached into her very empty purse. She then pulled out his mask. "I saw it fall and picked it up when I saw it. Here, you want it?" she asked.
"Oh, that was a compliment alright." he said with a light smirk on his lips as he gratefully took the mask from her hands. He glanced over her as they walked into the building and just studied her before entering the building.
His eyes looked over the very well decorated room and saw T.K. dancing with Ikitasha to a song that he hadn't heard before. He looked over tot he music to see the D.J. with his headphones over his ears, clicking around on a computer on his table.
T.K. looked up at the sound of the door swinging open and saw Tamani with a girl on his arm. Her grin was bright as she watched the two walk in. "So, I guess you found your date to the dance, instead of preying on little high school girls!" she joked with him, her devious smile making her seem even creepier then she already was.
"T.K.!" he bit back playfully, shaking his head. He looked over at Ms.Beats with a slight grin on his face, the smirk that was once there, now wiped away by the girl's comment.
She was glad they were there when she saw a girl watching them and then say a joke about Tamani. "Hahaha, that is funny. My name is Ms. Beats. I like your wit young lady, what is your name?" She asked. She liked the look of the girl she looked very pretty with her green eyes.
"Hello Mr.Tamani" Ikitasha said as he walked over to Tamani. He shook hands with him and smiled. He looked at the girl beside Tamani and was mystified. He has never seen a girl like this. There was just something about her that was making him weird. He must know what was going on with her. But he must find out secretly.
"Name's T.K., Tamani's kid." she said, a slight grin plastered on her lips. In a way, she was Tamani's kid, but she was adopted, or he just got full guardian-ship over her. She glanced at the man to see as it it were alright, and her grin grew wider when she saw the smile on Tamani's face.
"And!" she sung, skipping over to the two like a little 8 year old. She stopped right in front of the tall man. "You're late! And because we did everything in here, you guys need to go get the food!" She glanced at Ikitasha to see him just staring at Ms.Beats as if she were from outer space. She pulled her gaze from him and tilted her head to the left. "But, I can go get if it ya' want."
"I'll go get it. Besides I am the reason we were late. Where is it?" she asked. She also, wanted to be alone for a bit. All that drama she had just went through put a toll on her. She wanted to be by herself when she was going to cry out all her stress.
"Tamani knows where it is. We have no need for his help any more, Ikitasha's got it." she said with a light shrug. She looked at Ms.Beats who seemed rather unsettled. She wondered what was going on in her mind before pulling her own thoughts away and concentrating on something else. "Could you go with her, Tamani? If it's okay, I mean." she requested.
Tamani glanced back at Ms.Beats with an elevated eyebrow. she seemed rather nervous and twitchy to him, but he waited for an answer nonetheless.
"Hey T.K. and everyone check this out!" he said as he ran toward a wall and ran up it. He ran up the wall for around 8 steps and he was almost at the top. He did a gigantic leap in the air. Right afterwards there was some wisps of blue and green light around him. They multiplied until you couldn't see Ikitasha. He heard gasps of shock and worry and then he hit the ground with a loud thump. The lights started to disappear and Ikitasha turned into a Snow Tiger. He did a resounding roar and it echoed around the entire dancing headquarters for several seconds. He walked over to where T.K. was standing and asked "Pretty cool right?"
"OH MY GOODNESS. Its a HUGE FLUFFY CAT." she squealed, her voice high pitched and strangled as she freaked out. Ikitasha was a huge cat. A HUGE CAT. She absolutely loved cats, and this new development wouldn't too bad for Ikitsasha.
She reached out and pet the huge cat's head and giggled like a crazed madwoman.
Ikitasha purred for around 3 seconds then the blue and green lights reappeared. "DAMMIT NO!!!"he said roughly as he ran toward the boys room. But he changed back before he got into the room. He changed back and he was naked. He quickly entered the room and poked a hand out to grab his clothes and changed real quick. He came back out a few minutes later. "Sorry that you had to see that..."he said as he was tightening his tie and walking back to where he was before.
"Oh! Um... Okay." she said quietly, her face still a soft shade of crimson. Having a slight burst of confidence, she placed a soft kiss on his lips before turning and pulling her hair back over her shoulders. She threw a lopsided smile at Edge as she stood up with her garment bag.
"I'll... uh... be right back..." she murmured, her voice almost a whisper. She ducked into the bathroom and shut the door quietly behind her. Getting undressed and into the dress was not a challenge, but the tiny zipper that went up from her lower back and up the her shoulder blades. The cool green fabric hugged her curves and made her feel rather vulnerable.
After a moment or two in the bathroom, she came out holding the top to her chest before looking down.
"Erm... Can you help me with this zipper...?" she requested.
