So I'm back in action and ready to start writing again. This if for all you Project-K...or simply just K...fans. If you're not a big Yata fan I suggest leaving now because Yata is my all time no questions asked favorite characters. If you're a Sk8ter H8ter than you know how to exit.

If you decided to stay than welcome to the crazy GreenBabe train! Hope you like this story...it just popped into my head after I total binge fested the fuck out of that show.

So, without further ado, let's make it do what it do-

"Ayame!" I turned around at the sound of my name. It was often called here at Ashinaka High on the island. Everyone knew my name, but over half the time I didn't know theirs. I wasn't a very observant student here and half the time I didn't bother with the rest of the student body. And yet people still approached me.

My name is Ayame Maya and I'm a 17 year old student at Ashinaka High School. I'm not very tall really, more like 5'3'' and totally proud of it. I was very blessed in the boobs and butt area most guys would say, and yet I was tiny in the waist. Most people called that hourglass figured...I think. I had long wavy blonde hair and amber eyes, and never left without my headphones. I thought I wasn't much to look at, but a lot of guys had confessed to me since moving to this wacky town and I've been typically popular...but I never socialized. It was weird.

"What's up, Yukizome?" I asked. This was the girl that was always chasing that Yushiro whats-his-name around.

"Please, just Kukuri." She smiled and scratched the back of her head.

"Oooook...what's up, Kukuri?" I corrected.

"Do you think you can run a few errands for me? There's a few things I left off the list I gave to Shiro, and he doesn't have his PDA so I can't just-" She was rambling. Why was it that people rambled like this?

"Kukuri, I'll do it." I held my hand up and sweat dropped. "Just send me the list. Ok?"

"Oh, thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" She cheered and hugged me tightly.

She gave me the money and told me to have it all back at least by tomorrow morning. I waved goodbye and headed off into town. Most the things that were needed were cheap and the rest was fabric needed by the fashion club. I just picked whatever colors and designs and went about my day. I was sitting at a near by resteraunt when I kid pushed past me and made me drop my rice all over me. Angrily I looked up ready to give the kid a piece of my mind, but stopped. It was Yushiro...and he was scared.

"Yushiro, what's wr-"

"You're getting away, jackass!" I heard someone shout and then Yushiro took off. Shortly after Yushiro jumped into a truck a boy on a skateboard came flying by, chasing the truck. What had that idiot gotten himself into?

I jumped up from my seat and pushed the bags I had into a Ashinaka's student's hands. They had the same uniform and I was pretty sure I'd seen them at school before. "Take this to the Ashinaka student council for me, kay? Thanks." I said and took off. I was the boy on the skateboard take a sharp turn into an ally with a white hooded fat guy and another guy in a hat. I came to a halt at the opening of the ally way. The skater kid had a bat in his hand and a fourth guy showed up. Gr-ate! Just what my figgin day needed. The fourth guy was blonde and smoking a cigarette.

"Yushiro Isana!" I snapped, grabbing the attention of all five guys. The minute I saw the red aura emanating off them I knew who they were...or at least what. Red Clan. Soldiers of the Red King Mikoto Suoh. I was a little scared, but I ran out in front of him, arms open wide. "What the hell did you do?" I snapped at the boy holding tightly onto my shirt.

"Ayame? What are you-" Suddenly a boy with long black hair jumped down and pushed me back. A sharp pain spread across my lower back and I yelped a little in pain. When I reopened my eyes Yushiro was gone and I was left with four HOMRA members. Lucky me.

"Yata, take her back to the bar. I'll be there shortly." The guy with the blonde hair and glasses said.

"W-what?! Why me?" The kid on the skateboard blushed. Oddly enough, I thought that was kinda cute and made me feel less scared. If a clan member can be a little scared of me then there was no reason for me to be terrified of them. "Kusinage, why can't K-"

"You have your orders, Yata." The blonde guy-Kusinage-waved his hand carelessly behind him as he walked.

"Dammit." Yata, or skater dude, cursed under his breath with blush still tinting his cheeks.

I started to push myself up off the ground, but the pain was still pretty sharp in my back. I grunted in pain and fell back on my butt. I felt around on my lower back and felt something sticky and wet. Blood. I retracted my hand saw the red tint as proof. Yushiro was dead meat next time I saw him. So past dead meat actually. He was ashes, no he was just going to evaporated. Incinerated. So going to pay.

"Here." I heard and looked up. Yata had his hand reached down to me, but he was facing the other way blush still tinting his cheeks.

"Thanks." I sighed and took the help. I was never one to turn down help when I needed it.

"Are you, um, ok?" He asked and rubbed the back of his neck.

"Actually I think I'm bleeding, but I think I'll live." I stated and tried to see my back...but being human and having an actual spine I wasn't able to.

"Does it hurt?" He asked.

"A little." What was I doing? I was just standing there, having a civil conversation with a Red Clan member.

"We can check your wound when we get to the bar." He said and placed his board on the ground. I was going to protest, but before I could I was over his shoulder and he was skating off in one swift motion. He skated pretty fast, but that might have been from the power being a clan member gave him. I kicked and hit his back, but it more to make a fuss. I wasn't very scared, more shocked.

"Will you stop that?" He snapped and tightened his grip on my waist. "You'll make us flip!"

"I don't give a shit." I snapped and hit him hard between the shoulder blades. He grunted and we suddenly came to a halt. He put me on the ground and I immediately pushed him back and adjusted my skirt. "What kind of person just snatches a girl up and skates off with her? Give a girl a warning! I'm wearing a skirt you know."

"I...We're at Homra's." He said with shock and embarrassment all over his face. I rolled my eyes and pushed past him.

"Whatever." I groaned and walked through the doorway. The inside was pretty epic. It looked a lot like an British pub and totally smelt like ale and cigarette...pretty nice. I looked behind the bar and there stood the blonde guy cleaning a glass and a little girl sitting on the couch. She had straight white hair and a total Gothic Lolita look going for her.

"And they're finally here." Said the blonde guy. "My name is Izumo Kusanagi." He said and held his hand out. "You can just call me Kusanagi if you like."

"I'm Ayame Mata." I said shyly with a small smile. I suddenly felt a tug at my shirt and looked down. Bright red eyes and white hair greeted me.

"You're going to be the warmest red." She said and hugged my side. I went totally girl and scrunched down to her size and hugged her tightly. She was so cute. I had no idea what she was talking about, but she was super cute.

"Anna, we need to discuss business with Mata-"

"Ayame," I corrected.

"My apologized. We have business to discuss with Ayame." Kusanagi corrected with a warm smile.

Anna took my hand and let me to the couch. She sat next to me, still clinging to my shirt. I hugged her again. She was just too cute. She was like a little duckling, following me around.

"Now, Ayame, how do you know Yushiro Isana?" Kusanagi asked and sat on the table across from me.

"I don't really." I shrugged. "All I know is that he's in my class. I was absent the week he transferred to my school, but when I got back to school everyone was acting like they had been besties for years." I really didn't know Yushiro. All I knew was that he existed.

"You don't know anything?" He asked with a brow raised.

"Nope. Just that he exists and has obviously pissed you guys off." I stated and patted down Anna's hair.

"Do you know where he was December seventh of last year?" He asked, pressing for more information I didn't have.

"That's when I was absent." I shrugged. "But, Kukuri would know."

"Who?" Yata finally chimed in. He had just been sitting at the bar saying nothing.

"A girl in my class. She's always following Yushiro around, and if anyone knew where he was that day then it would be her." I sighed. "I can get more information for you if you'd like."

"You could?" Yata asked just as Kusanagi said, "You would do that for people you don't know?"

"You guys seem pretty legit, and you're way more interesting than the people I go to school with." I looked Kusanagi dead in the eyes. "I've heard of the Red Clan, and I've heard you guys are about family. Always protecting your own. I admire that."

"Wouldn't your parents be mad if they found out that you were helping a clan out?" Kusanagi raised a brow.

"My parents have been gone for a long time." I said truthfully. "They passed away when I was about twelve." I played with Anna's hair carefully. I missed my parents, but I had already had six years to get over it.

"I'm sorry, Ayame." Anna whispered and buried her head into my side.

"It's no big deal. It's been six years and I've had my grieving time." I smiled lightly. "But I always admire those who take family serious. Those who don't take it for granted."

"Well, then why don't you join this one." I tensed at the sudden new presence. I looked towards a set of stairs where a man with red hair and a white t-shirt stood. Mikoto Suoh, the Red King.

"I-I don't know. I've never fought before really." I sweatdropped and scratched the back of my neck. I hadn't noticed that there were a ton of people in the bar now. Several men stood along the walls with shocked or understanding expressions on their faces.

"You said you admire those who don't family for granted, who take it seriously. That's what Homra is all about." Mikoto said flatly and with a very straight face. "It sounds as though you need a family like us."

That was true. After my parents death and finding out about Haru I needed a real family. One that embraced me just as much as I did them. I needed a family period. It was all alone at Ashinaka, whether that had been by choice or not, and I had no one in this town. I hadn't for six years.

"Ok." I said firmly. "I'll join."

Mikoto stuck his hand out, fire ablaze all around it. I was a little iffy about taking his hand and I was totally freaked by the fire, but I took it anyways. The fire was warm and tingled my skin. I liked it. My body felt warm and tingly, but a small portion of my left forearm burned like all get out. I didn't scream, just kind of made a pain face. When Mikoto let go and then ruffled my hair the tingly feeling stayed with me. It didn't fade.

"I told you she's be the warmest red." Anna murmured as she clung to me. I looked down at her with a smile a ruffled her snow white hair. It wasn't until I touched her head that I noticed the red aura emanating off my body. It was the prettiest warm candy apple red color. The tingle slowly faded from my body and the red faded.

"Anna," Mikoto said and the girl detached from me and went to sit next to him.

"Boy's welcome the newest HOMRA member, Ayame Mata." Kusanagi said and ruffled my hair.

"Hey, Ayame. I'm Eric." A boy with blonde hair said and shook my hand.

"Nice to meet you." I smiled.

"Finally we get another girl! I'm Saburota Bando." A guy with glasses and a hood said and nudged my shoulder.

"Shohei Akagi." A guy with a hat smiled and nodded his head.

"I'm Masaomi Dewa, and these two are Yo Chitose and Kosuke Fujishima." Another with a hat said.

'It's nice to meet you." I laughed.

"I'm Rikio Kamamoto, you can call me Rikio." A big guy in a white jumper said and slung an arm around my shoulder. "So, Ayame, how old are you."

"Seventeen." I raised a brow. "What's it to you?"

"She's closest to Yata!" I think Chitose said. I looked over to Yata, who was blushing and looking upset.

"Hey, Rikio, what's up with him? He hasn't said anything to me since we got here." I said and nodded towards Yata's slumped form over the bar, glass of alcohol in his hand.

"Who? Yata? He's just shy around the fairer sex." He said deviously and loud enough for Yata to heard.

"What was the, fat ass?" Yata snapped, slamming his glass down.

"All I said was that you were a little shy arou-" Yata had jumped on Rikio before he could utter the rest of his sentence. For someone half Rikio's size he sure as hell took his down quickly. He had Rikio in a head lock and bending his back the wrong way in no time at all.

"You wanna say that again, pussy!" Yata snapped.

I went to break them up, but Kusanagi held me by my shoulder and shaking his head no. I raised a brow, but obeyed orders. I watched as Yata totally dominated over Rikio...which I found a little hot. After a few more minutes and a nod from Mikoto, Kusanagi let me break it up.

"Guys," I said and touched Yata's shoulder. He tensed under my touch and then jumped off of a heavily breathing Rikio. "What's you deal?" I asked bluntly.

"I don't have one." He said lowly. Dammit, why couldn't he just talk to me like a normal fucking person?

"Sure." I rolled my eyes. "When you wanna finally grow some balls and talk to me like a big boy then give me a call." I mocked and turned on my heels.

"What was that?" He growled. Bingo.

"I said when you wanna grow some real balls and talk to me like a big boy then give me a ring. Kay?" I smirked and turned back to Mikoto. "I have to go, but I'll be back tomorrow."

"You're leaving now? It's dark out and late." Rikio said.

"Well, I have to get back to Ashinaka." I shrugged.

"Why don't you stay around here and head back early tomorrow?" Kusanagi said smoothly.

"Well, I don't kn-"

"We don't have any open rooms." Dewa said lowly.

"Yes, but one of the boys can sleep down here on the couch." Kusanagi stated.

"No. I wouldn't want to-"

"I'll do it."

"No I will."

"You can use my room, Ayame."

"She wants to use mine!"

Oi. All the boys started fighting over who's room I was going to use. If I could just sleep on the couch I would, but I had a feeling Mikoto wouldn't allow that...since I was a well developed girl of a young adult age. I didn't know who's room I wanted to use. They were all boys and I think it would be sleeping in any of their beds.

"Kusanagi," Anna said quietly, pulling at his shirt.

"Yes, Anna?" He looked down.

"We have an extra room." She stated.

"No, we-"

"Next to Yata's." She cut them off smoothly.

"Oh yeah. We do have an extra room." Kusanagi smirked deviously."Why don't you show her to it, Anna." He said and patted her head.

"Ok." She said and then took my hand. She led me up the stairs, the boys not noticing and still fighting downstairs. We passed a few rooms and went down a hall until we were down to the last four. The first two were apparently Mikoto's and Anna's, but the last two were now mine and Yata's rooms.

"Here." Anna said softly and placed something cold in my hand. I looked down and saw a key.

"You do know I'm only staying one night. Right, Anna?" I questioned.

"It's your room now. When you visit you can stay here." She said and then looked at the door. I shrugged and unlcoked the door and pushed it open. It was a pretty simple room. The bed was covered in maroon red covers and the pillows were white. There was a desk and a drawer, a window, and regular white walls. There was nightstand with a small lamp and an empty bookshelf. Simply and yet cool in some odd way.

"Uh, I was told to bring these." I spun around at the sudden new presence and saw an awkward and blushing Yata. In his hand he had a white sweater and some black shorts in his hand. "Kusanagi said to bring you something to sleep in. This is, um, all I have."

I took the folded clothes and said, "Thanks. I didn't really think about that."

"Come on, Anna. Let's let her change." He said and took the small girl's hand. The two left and I changed quickly. Yata's clothes were a little big on me and the sweater went all the way to my mid-thigh. The shorts were way too big, but I couldn't go down there in just Yata's sweater.

I sucked it up and went downstairs where Kusanaki had pizza. I couldn't help but blush when some of the guys said something about me in Yata's clothes. I ignored them the best I could and ate as fast as I could. I said goodnight not long afterwards and then ran upstairs. I curled up in the surprisingly comfortable bed and forced myself to sleep.
