Alright, I got over my writer's block that I've had, but I'm not sure how well I'll get over it on this story. This story has given me some serious idea/writer's block. Pleh, let's see.

Chapter Five: A Street Lesson

Rin's POV

"But Gumi-"

"Stop it, Rin. I'm not letting you go out there again. You could get hurt!"

"I'm sick of you telling me that! Just because a stray broke your heart or you got hit by a car or something stupid like that doesn't mean it'll happen to me to!"

Gumi stared at me, "Fine, but if it does happen, don't come crying back to me. I won't help you."

I nodded and walked away. …I can't stop myself from hurting though… She's never said anything like that to me nor have I said things like that to her… She must hurt too…

"Good luck Rin," I could hear her mumble.

I ran back to where Len and his pack stayed. Now, there was a silver cat talking to Len.

I turned my head abruptly to my right to see Neru. "Oh, you're back," she said.

"Yeah," I started, "Gumi said that I could stay… but… I don't know if she was implying about me coming back,"

Neru nodded, "That's awesome. It'll be good to have another girl in this group,"

"Neru," she looked at me, "Can I ask you who that is?" I pointed with my tail to the silver cat.

"That's Haku, Len's older sister," she said, "She belongs to the 'Alley Cats'"

I gave her a look of total confusion and she laughed.

"Alright, you need a street lesson," she let out a meow and continued talking.

"'Alley Cats' is a clan made of three cats, Dell, the leader, Meiko and Kaito. They're sort of like the street leaders. Haku lives with them, but she's not really a part of the group. Dell lets her stay; he has a soft spot for her. Meiko is Mikuo's adoptive mother and Kaito…well, he's Kaito. Then you have our clan; Mikuo, Len, me and now you, Rin-nyan. There is another clan- oh, I'm sorry- duet, Miki and Piko. They are just some stupid alley cats, sort of like us, but they harbor even less importance than we do. Miki flirts with all the boy cats, so beware… And then the final trio is Ritsu, Ruko and Teto. Teto is still kind of like a kitten, and she loves to annoy Miku, Mikuo's sister, who I'm sure you know. Ruko is the mature one, she's the leader, and Ritsu is sort of like her… well protector, even though she doesn't need one, he still likes to protect her."

"So basically… Haku is like Dell's girlfriend?" I asked.

She nodded, "Exactly. Haku's really sweet. She's a close friend of mine, come on, you should come meet her,"

I nodded and followed her, but a voice stopped me. "Oh, so you have a new clan member, do you?"

Neru growled, stepping in front of me, "Piko, leave Rin-nyan alone,"

"Oh, but Neru, perhaps she wants to come to our little duet and make it a trio…"

"She's not interested," I could see Mikuo join in beside Neru.

Piko was a silvery gray cat with a blue eye and a green eye, but without looking closely, it was hard to see that he was Heterochromic.

Then another cat came out, "Piko, let them be, they're obviously not going to let this be so easy,"

The she-cat was very fluffy, like a Persian, and was dark orange. She must've been Miki.

Piko walked closer to me.

"But Miki, look at her, she's so beautiful,"

"Get away," I could hear Len say, walking in front of me.

Haku stared at them, "Piko, you k-know b-better than to tamper with the c-cats of another c-clan,"

Her voice was rather quiet and she stuttered on some words, but other than that, she really did sound leader-like.

"I'm sorry, Haku" I could see Piko roll his eyes.

Miki walked closer, letting her tail hit Mikuo's face, but in a more… flirty manor.

"It is good to see my dear boyfriend again though…"

Mikuo glared at her, "If I was your boyfriend-"

"But you are~" she said, playfully.

Neru glared at her, her yellow eyes piercing Miki's red ones, "You are ridiculous!"

Miki attacked Neru, but Neru ended up on top of Miki, "You say every tom on our streets is your boyfriend, when in reality, none of them even like you!"

Miki glared at her, "Except for Mikuo~"

She really knew how to press Neru's buttons, "He is not your boyfriend!" The two proceeded to roll around and fight, so Mikuo followed them.

Len, Haku and I stayed in our spots. "Rin, this is my sister Haku,"

"H-hello," she stuttered.

I smiled, "Hello!" I mewed.

"I am s-sorry you h-had to meet P-Piko and Miki like that,"

"It's fine,"

Then, Mikuo walked back with Neru, who didn't look damaged at all. It seems like she was the one kicking tail in that fight.

Len laughed, "Neru, you always win fights with Miki. Don't you ever go easy on her?"

"No!" she shouted, with a smile.

"Rin-nyan, that always happens," Mikuo said, "It's one of things you should get used to,"

I nodded slightly, and then Len looked up. "Haku, is your clan supposed to be visiting us today?"

"Hm, D-Dell did say he w-was g-going to v-visit some clans today, but I wasn't sure w-which ones... And I guess yours is first,"

The tom- Dell – was a dark gray cat with specks of white where it looked like his fur had been ripped off- but only very slightly and they weren't big patches. He probably got into a lot of fights trying to keep the peace between clans.

The she-cat following him – I'm guessing Meiko – was a fluffy calico. The colors on her fur were a reddish brown, white – of course – and black. Her fur seemed perfect and she had no scratches or fur ripped off.

And then – the last cat – Kaito – I knew it was him, Miku had mentioned him once (she had said he was with Meiko or something like that) – was a dark Russian blue sort of like Mikuo, but he didn't have the darker stripes like Mikuo did. He was just a darker Russian blue.

The three walked down our alleyway and Haku stared intently at the ground. I hope nothing was wrong…

Not too bad, huh?

I'd say it's pretty good for just getting over writer's block. It was long, that's my apology for keeping this on hiatus for a while. I did a long chapter on TCC too, when I do longer chapters like that I get over Writer's block easier.

Review?
