Author's Note - Yes, I am updating. I know, "HOLY SHIT!" right?

Act 8.0

Dee spent much of seventh period running around GW High while trying to avoid a very clingy JJ Adams. Towards eighth period, he was caught and glomped by the annoyingly loud and obnoxious teen. And so, Dee walked the long path to gym class practically dragging JJ behind him.

"What in the name, of all that is good, still left in this world is that?" Ted asked, indicating the lavender-haired boy attached to Dee's arm.

"His name is Joe, Ted. Joe momma," Dee replied dryly, trying to get JJ off of him.

"Dee, you seem to have a large growth on your arm," Drake commented with a squint, coming from around a wall of lockers.

"No shit, Sherlock," Dee snapped.

"Dig deeper, Watson," Drake muttered, and walked away to go put his contacts back in.

"Is that who you were running from?" Ryo asked from behind the small group.

Dee turned around and saw that Ryo was sitting on a small bench, tying his shoes.

"Well . . . um . . . yeah and you can see WHY I was trying to get away from-JJ! GET OFF!" Dee shouted, and started to push and kick JJ anywhere he could.

Ryo's dark eyes narrowed at JJ, who was snuggling into Dee's side as Dee tried to separate the two of them. When it seemed as if Dee could not remove the other boy off of him, Ryo crossed his arms with a frown and left them to finish up whatever it was they were doing.

"Ryo? Where're you going? Ryo! Don't leave me alone! RYO!" Dee cried, trying to follow his blonde companion but failing because JJ had linked onto his leg, preventing him from moving.

Ryo huffed in annoyance and walked to the other side of the boy's locker room, hoping not to bear witness to the hump fest that was currently in session. He couldn't believe what was happening. Just a period ago, Dee had him on a high that was very hard to come down from, and then, all of a sudden, it was as if Ryo had met the ground face-first when he saw another guy with Dee.

Blushing over his thought, Ryo tried to hide it by lowering his head as he casually leaned against a nearby wall. He wasn't jealous or anything . . . he was just . . . Ryo tried to think of a word that would describe his feeling in such a way that it seemed as if he was not jealous just . . . territorial? Worried? Threatened? Jealous?

"God dammit," Ryo thought to himself, "there's that word again. But I'm not jealous! I'm not! I just don't like to see him with someone else who . . ."

He stopped and pondered that for a moment.

"Well, with someone else who isn't me," Ryo finally finished, his face turning an even brighter red.

Ryo pushed himself away from the wall and began to head upstairs to start on warm ups. Just as he left the boy's locker room, Ryo couldn't help but repeat, over and over to himself: "I'm not jealous. I'm not jealous. I'm not freaking jealous. Oh God, I hate that little shit . . ."

Meanwhile, the gym teacher's substitute was trying to figure out if JJ was supposed to be in his class or not. And when JJ pulled out his schedule, Dee was horrified to see that both he and JJ had almost every single class together. He groaned and knew that this was going to be a very long year; someone on the other side of the locker room, however, found his little predicament to be very amusing, and smirked to himself.

*_-

"All right class! Let's gather `round over here," the sub, Mr. Fote, called as if he were bringing in cows or horses or some other type of livestock.

His class came while the other gym teacher lined up her kids on the opposite side of the gym to start a game of volleyball.

"Now, since I dun't know what's y'all been a learnin', I think that we should have ourselves a relay day," Mr. Fote declared.

The class stared at Mr. Fote like he was the world's biggest dumbass.

"Um, Mr. Fote. You do know that we're all in the 11th grade, right?" Ted asked.

"Well a course I know that. I was just a thinkin' that maybe y'all wanted to do somethin' a bit more fun than just runnin' `round and sweatin' yer asses off," Mr. Fote said.

There was a silence to that little thought.

"Okay then. Everyone get yerself a partner. And a lil' tip to all ya boys out there: you might want them to be a lil' lady," he said with a small wink. "Go on now, git!"

The students milled around a little bit before Mr. Fote told them to snap to it or else he was going to get his whip out, and everyone believed him because the old coot would do something like that. He then told them that once they had a partner, to line up in a double line so he could see everyone.

Of course, it was painfully obvious that JJ was NOT going to give Dee up to anyone, and that made him Dee's partner. And when they were standing in the line of partners, JJ made all the other people around them sick as he reminisced about the good ol' days when they were happily in love together; a couple of people moved to the back of the line.

Drake paired himself with a pretty little girl named Carrie, but it wasn't as if he could put the moves on her or anything because she was a lesbian. Carrie kept waving and smiling at her bitch, Katie. Ted sighed to himself as he watched Katie keep turning around and couldn't help but wonder why he had to get the other half of the lesbian relationship (and it wasn't that he didn't like lesbians, he just wanted to touch a girl's ass for no particular reason.)

And poor Ryo found himself paired with Diana, who was going on (very loudly) about how cute he was when he blushed and how good of a sex partner he'd be to Dee. Ryo tried to get away from her, but found that he couldn't because it was either be partnered with her, or Berkley Rose (who seemed as if he did not have a partner.)

Diana noticed this and grinned to herself; it was time to put her plan in action.

"Mr. Fote!" Diana called, and jumped out of line.

She began to trot up to where Mr. Fote stood, talking with Berkley over not having a friend to run the relay with. Diana was about halfway there when she purposely turned her ankle in and fell down onto the ground. There was a loud gasp that rippled through the double line of students.

"I say there, lil' lady, are ya alright?" Mr. Fote asked, kneeling down next to her.

"I think so. But my ankle hurts really bad," Diana lied, and added a fake (yet believable) sounding wince at the end of her sentence.

"Okay then. Mark, get yer ass over here," Mr. Fote yelled to the teacher's aid.

A handsome looking guy with blue eyes and blonde hair came running at his master's call.

"Take this here lady to the clinic," Mr. Fote said, and Mark scooped Diana up into his arms.

Diana got one of those looks on her face that girls get when they're trying hard not to squeal with delight over how hot a guy is. He was a hot senior kid and he was HOLDING her and CARRYING her to the clinic. Diana was so happy that the gym was the farthest point away from the first aid unit in the school because she was definitely going to enjoy herself. ((Nothing perverted now y'all.))

"Well now, who was that lil' lady's partner?" Mr. Fote asked, once Diana had been carried away.

Ryo stepped out of line shyly; Berkley grinned and shot a cocky smirk right at Dee.

"See, things happen for a reason," Mr. Fote said, "'cuz now Berkley here's got a partner."

Ryo twitched a little bit at what Mr. Fote had said and looked down as he stepped back into his place in line. And as Berkley walked to his place next to Ryo, he received glares from both Drake and Ted that read murder.

When Berkley got to his new spot in line, Mr. Fote began to tell them their instructions on how to play the games. Since there were about 30 students, that meant there were 15 pairs. Then, the 15 pairs were split into three teams, with five pairs on each. Well, some of the kids complained that: "This isn't math class!" and "My brain is fried, dude. Just tell us what the hell to do." and other stuff along the lines of that.

"But that ain't the complicated part so just listen now y'all," Mr. Fote told them.

He then explained the relays they were going to participate in. They consisted of: passing a baton back and forth, shooting a ball in a hoop, and balancing a small weight on a plastic spoon. But, there was a hitch to all of this: one partner was the runner and the other basically rid on their back; a lot of people went wide-eyed at this little tidbit of information.

"That's why I said to all ya boys that y'all might want to get yerself a lil' lady," Mr. Fote said to their silence, and then began to laugh until he coughed.

Mr. Fote divided them into teams and it went like this to all the main characters: Berkley and Ryo vs. Dee and JJ vs. Ted, Drake, and the lesbian girls.

"Git yerselves a ready now," Mr. Fote announced, as he passed batons to the people in the front of the rows.

Now, the students were more than a bit awkward about getting up onto their friend's back. JJ, however, was happy to oblige and was practically humping Dee, who looked like he wanted to crawl into a hole somewhere and die.

Drake and Ted were having a small dilemma of their own: the lesbian girls were looking suspicious of each other. They had a small fight about how the other could not cheat on them because they were so deep in love. And when they finally trusted each other enough, they began to make out until Mr. Fote had to come over and break it up.

Then there was Ryo and Berkley . . .

"I don't think I can carry you," Ryo said honestly, hoping that would make it so they didn't have to be partners.

"Well I can carry you. Get on," Berkley replied, and kneeled down low enough for Ryo to get onto his back.

Ryo was about to say something else to maybe help in his procrastination, but made eye contact with Dee in the next line over. He saw that JJ was practically having the time of his life on Dee's back and that made Ryo flush with anger. Throwing a glare at Dee (that would make a full grown grizzly bear run home to its momma), Ryo hopped on Berkley's back.

Dee gaped, open-mouthed at the two of them; Ryo turned his head a bit and sent him a look that basically said: "What? Finally realize what you're missing?" Dee then sent a jealous glare towards Berkley (who was just so happy to have some physical contact that he was ignoring everything else around him) and almost fell over when Ryo started to openly flirt with him, playing with Berkley's hair and ears.

Now, if Berkley had been paying more attention to what was going on around him than what was happening in his shorts, he would have seen the flames dancing up around Dee and the ferocious killing stare that was being directed right at him.

And somewhere in the school, Diana Spacey began to giggle.

-_- zzz . . . zz.

When Dee got home, he threw his backpack on the ground in frustration. Why did JJ have to ruin everything? He had a good thing going with Ryo and then the little freak ruined it. By the time Dee got to that level, he wanted to break something, but he took a few deep breaths and went into the kitchen to get himself something to eat.

He pulled out a carton of Edy's ice cream and sauntered into his room. There, he shoved everything off of his desk except his laptop and logged onto his AIM. Dee saw that Ted and Drake were online, so he opened a small chat room with them.

Genius432 (Drake): Hey, Dee.

SurferBoi7: i'm in a crisis rite now

Genius432: Okay, well, let's get the whole school online.

And so, the next 45 minutes was spent in a large chat room that consisted with over 50 students of GW High and their math teacher, Miss Sudnick.

((A/N: I know you'll never read this Miss Sudnick, but you are the coolest teacher ever!!!!))

They were just wrapping it up when Dee's door opened and Jess stuck his head in. He noticed the empty carton of ice cream next to his adoptive son and then left. If there was only one thing Jess knew, it was this: When Dee ate Eggos, he was happy. When Dee ate poptarts, he was stressed. When Dee finished a whole carton of ice cream by himself in less than two hours, Dee was more depressed than whatever was the most depressed being on earth.

And at that moment, the most depressed being on earth was Ryo McLane.

--

On Friday morning, Ryo dragged himself up the two flights of stairs to reach his locker. He was extremely tired, after just working a double shift at the restaurant that lasted until about 1 a.m. and then a delayed bus and a very long subway ride. All he wanted was for the break to come so that he could at least squeeze in a couple more hours sleep than he was.

When he reached his locker, Ryo felt himself sadden the slightest bit when he realized that no one had put anything on the metal surface that indicated he was turning 17 that day. He sighed and put his combination in slowly before opening his locker; a small letter rested there with a single white daisy. It read:

Ryo,

I just wanted you to know I'm thinking

about you and only you.

Me.

The letter was typed, so there was no way for Ryo to know who it was from (unless he dusted the damn locker for finger prints or something) and he decided that he already knew who sent it. A small smiled tugged at his lips when he realized that he could never stay mad at Dee for too long.

He pulled off his coat and hung it up before taking the note and putting it in his pocket; Ryo slid the daisy into his science binder. Slamming his locker door closed, Ryo gazed down the hallway and saw Dee standing there, looking as if he were waiting for approval. Ryo inclined his head a little bit in a "follow me" gesture and started to walk in the opposite direction; Dee followed.

The bell rang for homeroom and all the kids headed off towards their classes, except for Ryo and Dee. Before Dee knew it, they were standing behind the heavy velvet curtains in the auditorium.

"I'm sorry," Ryo said quietly, bowing his head.

"I'm sorry too," Dee said, just as equally soft.

Then, with his cheeks burning, Ryo leaned forward and gave Dee a small, chaste kiss on the cheek, before turning to run the other way. Dee grabbed onto his arm before Ryo could get away.

"Don't leave," Dee whispered, pulling Ryo closer to him.

Ryo let his bag slide off of his back and onto the floor along with his books as Dee did the same with his things. Dee then pulled Ryo towards him until their chests were touching . . . as well as their lips. They then spent the next couple minutes in a raging tongue battle until they broke apart for air.

They just happened to be standing next to a small pile of mats ((you know, the ones used for wrestling or gymnastics?)) and Dee gently pushed Ryo down onto them before taking a seat right on top of him.

"You know how bad this is gonna look if someone sees us like this," Ryo said, as Dee leaned in to kiss him.

"I don't care," Dee replied, and pressed his lips against Ryo's once more.

And again, there was dueling tongues. By now, they were so good at it, that if there was a competition for French kissing, these two would have won first place. That is unless a certain interruption distracted them . . .

"DEE! DEE! WHERE ARE YOU, DEE?!" an annoyingly high-pitched voice called.

Breaking the kiss, Dee looked up and around; the curtain hid them from wherever JJ was in the auditorium.

"Scoot down," Dee whispered to Ryo.

Ryo started to slide down the mat towards the other side as well as Dee. They managed to make it and they hid behind the mats in a dark corner. There, Dee resumed what he was doing and began to attack Ryo's neck with playful kisses.

Now, Ryo was going to tell Dee to stop because (when he thought about it) it wasn't fair to JJ to let his heart be broken by seeing them (if he found them, which he probably would because he had radar on Dee) basically making out right in front of him. JJ, no matter how annoying, was still a human and that wasn't right to play with another person's heart (Ryo knew that all too well.) But, when he REALLY thought about it (meaning that naughty Ryo took over nice Ryo), JJ had been doing the same thing to him, so maybe JJ wouldn't do it anymore if he got a taste of his own medicine.

Hmmm, decisions, decisions. Well, it wasn't very nice . . . but the way Dee was kissing him felt so damn good, and he wasn't just gonna tell Dee to stop right in the middle of what he was doing! How rude would that be?

And so, they both remained silent (which was a hard thing to do because Dee had Ryo wanting to moan when he began to kiss some of the more sensitive places on his jaw and neck) as JJ came backstage, looking for them. He was just about to leave, when sapphire eyes landed upon the two bags lying on the floor among the scattered books and papers.

JJ noticed that the mats near the backpacks were all messed up, so he crawled over them to see Ryo and Dee curled up in a corner looking very snuggly. And the look on JJ's face almost made Ryo want to cry. The look that a person wore when they've lost everything. The look worn when the best thing in the world to that person was taken away. The look worn when they realized that they were very alone in the world and that no one was going to take care of them. The look of desperation, sadness, fear, and regret was then etched on JJ's normally happy face, and it made Ryo feel like a piece of him broke off and died.

"JJ . . ." Ryo said softly, looking so guilty and sorry that it wasn't funny.

But, what happened wasn't what the normal JJ would have done. The new, solemn JJ lowered his head and walked slowly away, hiding his crystalline tears behind a curtain of lavender tresses.

Ryo was about to run after JJ, but . . . what would he say? Nothing could make up for what JJ had just seen them do and no words could make him feel any better. And so, Ryo was left feeling very miserable.

"I'd hate to say it . . . but he needed to see that," Dee said.

"No one deserved to see that," Ryo replied, lowering his head to look at his hands.

"I know . . . but," Dee sighed, "JJ's been running after me for years. I've tried to drop him very obvious hints that I just wasn't interested in him, but he wouldn't take any of them."

They sat there in a saddened silence.

"It could've happened another way . . . I know it could have," Ryo said.

"No, it couldn't. He has to find someone who wants him. He shouldn't waste any time on someone who can't love him," Dee replied.

He put a hand on Ryo's shoulder and gave it a small squeeze of reassurance.

"We should go back to class now," Dee told him.

"Yeah, let's go," Ryo agreed, and stood up along with Dee.

And together they left, deep down feeling very upset at what they had done.

After Talk with The Random Queen:

Okay, I know that this chapter was very short for the amount of time that you've been waiting. But I've had so much on my plate these last couple weeks, it's a miracle I even had the energy to keep writing. But, I decided to sit my ass down and to write this chapter for all of you wonderful people out there! Now, the waits are hopefully going to be shorter because I'm grounded and I can't go anywhere, but I'm not promising anything. Because up to this chapter I've just been revising . . . but now I'm going to actually have to knuckle down and write again. Joy . . . .

About the Characters . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Well then. I did it. I crushed JJ. It's not that I don't like him (as one reviewer painfully put it) it's just that I can never capture the real character of JJ, therefore, I normally just put him in for annoyance purposes only. But now, I'm trying to (in this fic) pull off real-life scenarios. And yes, we do get dumped. Some of us catch our boyfriends or girlfriends cheating on us and it hurts. I want to capture that for a while . . . but guess who's gonna come to the rescue? That's right, Drakie-boy! You gotta love Drake and JJ, even though I really suck at writing them, pleeeeeaaaaseeee be patient!

Okay, as for Ryo and Dee. Well, not much to say at this point. Ryo got mad, jealous, angry, and then he just forgave. So the whole big whoop is basically over. Or is it? Just what is Berkley planning? And what about Diana? She got her way this time, but what about next time? And what's gonna happen with Ryo's "surprise" party? Omg, I FREAKING DON'T KNOW!

Eh-hem. Then, as for Ted . . . do we just want him to be a horny bachelor in this fic? Should I give him a girlfriend, or what? I mean, seriously. But . . . whatever. He's just a minor character anyway . . .

Parting Words and The Bribe:

Alrighty then, you got your chapter. Tell me what you think. I've finally been able to read some of my reviews and I realize how bummed all of you are about the lemon chapter. Well . . . I already wrote the sequel (and yes, it will be rated R) or I could just put it as the epilogue or whatever. Anyways, please tell me what you think about Ted, and anyone else.

Oh, and does anyone think that I should enter this in the BAFFC? I was just wondering. I've had a couple friends tell me so, but then again, they are losers (just like me) so I just throw them a can of cat food and shrug it off. So, what do you all think? Should I enter, or not? And under what category: Romance or Comedy? Please tell me, or email me at: the_random_queen@hotmail.com

And just so you know, if this fic is to be entered in the BAFFC, I'll be finishing it quicker than I was planning to. So just keep that on the brain for a while.

Well, here it goes: All flames will be used to set fire to all the hate mail I've been receiving from all my Inuyasha fans. All nice reviewers will be rewarded with a whole shitloada Halloween candy.

Consider my bribe! Luv ya all! Have a safe and Happy Halloween!
