Warning: Er... cussing. A lot of it near the end. But then, this is

Katou-kun, so it's to be expected.

A/N: HA! READ THE ONE AT THE BOTTOM!!!!!!!!!!

Second Bested...

_________________________

I can see them. They're right beneath me. Of course I would be here,

looking down on them. Them in their happy relationship of friendship.

Leaving me in the dark, just as soon as this stupid freshman came into our

lives. Pretty-boy didn't know how to share, now did he? He always took

over me and Kira's time. Because that's what the little fucker does.

Intrude on other people's time with the monster.

I've followed them all day, seeing how they spend their time. They met up

earlier, in the back of the school, where me 'n Kira always met. Kira took

him to the arcade, and they played games. 'Course the Monster kicked

Pretty-boy's ass. I smirked at this, hiding in a small corner, pretending

to be flirting with this one girl who seemed interested. Though she was

only like, 4 years younger than I was. Which drove me away. Though if I

really needed to get laid, I'd just have to call the number scribbled on my

hand. No big deal.

Their little date continued. They went to a burger shop. Kira got the same

thing as usual. The double meat burger with small fries and a small soda,

orange flavored. Pretty-boy got a hamburger large fries and a medium drink.

They talked of grades and different little things going on. I sat myself

around the back, where no one really would notice a boy just staring at two

others with malicious intent. 'Course no one would...

Practically invisible I was, as they strolled through the park, stopping at

the weird thing built there. That tall thing with a ball at the top. There

Kira lighted a smoke and informed Pretty-boy that his grades where dropping.

Pretty-boy got this... sad expression and muttered something that I

couldn't hear. The monster laughed at this little comment, and now I wish I

knew what it was. 'Cause well, I hate being left out. Why the hell else

would I be following these two 'little love birds' on their pathetic date.

The walked around for a while, me hot on their tail. And neither one of

them noticing. Which surprised me, cause usually Kira would notice when

someone is following them. Which gets to be kinda bad, when you're trying

to sneak up on him. Never works. Only got to do it once, and that resulted

in a broken nose. Not like I really cared. I had scared the shit out of

Kira. Me and only me.

Ahh.. the good ol' times. How I fucking miss those days. Before this

little shit-brain intruded on me and Kira's time.

We used to be inseparable. We'd always be together. But since Pretty-boy

made it clear that he did /not/ like me one little bit, Kira has been

ignoring me. Fuck, and I have to admit that I miss him. I miss him like

hell. Because he was the only really good thing for me. Because well,

fuck, I love him. I want him to be mine. And only mine. Because he's mine

and mine alone. Don't give a fuck what others think. Don't care what

Pretty-boy does, I am going to claim My Monster back for Myself.

They're walking again. I wonder how I got above them. Doesn't matter. I

jogged on ahead and ran down the stairs to get back onto the ground. I

leaned against a wall, lit up a cigarette, inhaled deeply, and waited for

them to come. And sure enough, they walked right by.

Kira threw me an odd glance. He also stopped. Setsuna glared at me evilly,

but I didn't care.

They always say actions speak louder than words. Guess that might actually

be true. I dropped my cigarette after one more drag and then ran to My

Monster's arms and kissed him hungrily. He caught me, surprised by my

sudden outburst. Not only have I scared the shit out of him, but surprised

him enough to cause him to freeze and go speechless.

Though short, this kiss I gave him showed everything I could muster up.

Slowly he pushed me away and looked at me strangely. I grinned at him, then

cocked my head towards Pretty-boy. I gave him a taunting smile, letting him

know whose prey he was walking around. My hands gripped onto the pressed

school shirt that Kira always wore, unless at the bar. His hands sat on my

hip, burning their claim. He was looking at me, then at Setsuna.

I wanted one of them to say something. Didn't want to be the first to

speak. Nope, not at all. 'Cause then I might get in trouble. 'Course by

the looks of it, I doubt it. Setsuna was in shock, almost disgusted.

Almost...... that gave me a bad idea. What if I shouldn't have done this?

What if My Monster is happy with the Pretty-boy…?

Fear gripped at my heart, my eyes returning to Kira. He blinked at me, then

got this faint smile. I grinned at him bigger then let go of him. He did

the same then turned to Setsuna.

"Sorry, Katou, I'm a bit busy walking him home... I'll come by tonight if

you don't mind..." With that, he walked away from me, walking along with

Setsuna.

Leaving me... alone...

His actions told me everything. Told me that... from now on... I'm always

second. That he doesn't return the feelings... that... Setsuna Mudou was

more important than me.

This shouldn't hurt me so much. This is how I /want/ to be.... to be

unloved. But... not from him... I want him to love me...

Not leave me...

A/N: *sniffles* Oh my god that almost made me cry... evil Kira!! Oh yeah,

it's my idea that Katou would call Setsuna in his mind Pretty-boy. And

refer to Kira as a monster. It's just something I think happens. At least

in his mind. Categorizes everything, go Katou-kun!! I wanted this to be a

happy ending... but it didn't work out. Hell, it didn't work like I wanted

it to work out!! . Oh well... ^^;; Its official, Always by Saliva is my

writing muse, plus this one picture of Katou I have where he is just drop
