" MITSUKI!!!!!"

Mitsuki turned and ran around the corner. Takuto was acting weird again. Like a man. Couldn't he realize, she loved Eichi and only Eichi!? None of them seemed to understand that! Meroko thinks she loves Takuto and is really distant sometimes, she can see it and it irks her. She ran down an alley, her throat burned painfully and it hurt to breathe. She knew she would have to stop soon.

Why had Takuto done that!? Why had he pulled her close and attempted to kiss her. He may love her but, WHY!?!? Why couldn't he just leave her broken heart alone. It hurt so much. Like a knife slicing slowly but surely through her chest. Eichi was dead but she still loved him and they all were trying to make her forget. Would she willingly forget Eichi, the one whom had loved her first? Not a chance!

She stooped behind behind some wooden crates and tried to hide. She could barely breathe. She tried to hide her gasping breaths by hiding her face in her legs. She could no longer hear Takuto's frantic footsteps on the pavement. Slowly, but surely, Mitsuki started to cry.

"...Eichi..."

" Yes Mitsuki...?" Mitsuki whipped around. She had heard him.

" Eichi?" She stood. "Eichi!?! EICHI!!!!!!!" Mitsuki collapsed.

" Where did you find her Takuto?" Someone said. Mitsuki couldn't see the person because everyting was so dark. Her throat burned. It sounded like Izumi.

" Behind some crates, in an alley." The words were all very distant and she had to strain to make them out.

" It's your fault you know..."

" SHUT UP!!!!! ..." There was a long silence. "I know it was stupid, but I just couldn't stand there one more minute like that. She always acts as if she's fine. Like there's nothing wrong. It drives me crazy!!!!!" Now Takuto was ranting. He seemed to do that alot lately. " It's always, 'Eichi this', and 'Eichi that'!!!! Why can't she just shut up about Eichi!?!?!?!?!?!"

Mitsuki felt a little anger in the pit of her stomach. There were angr tears burning behing her eyelids. Stupid Takuto.

" To top it all off, I tell her how much I love her and it all comes up moot! She doesn't even care!" Takuto now sounded pained. There was another pause much longer than the first one.

" You really love her, don't you?" Izumi's voice asked.

" Yes... Her smile makes my heart melt... Even though it doesn't work..."

" Aww..."

" SHUT UP!!!!!" Mitsuki had had enough. She slowly opened her eyes. She was sixteen. Takuto must have changed herwhile she was listening to the conversation. She just realized that her troat didn't hurt anymore. She slowly attempted to sit up without alerting the two Shinigami of her wakefulness.

They were were sitting at the table in human form. Takuto had his hat off and was facing away from her. Izumi was facing the side in his regular outfit of yellow and black. Only Mitsuki seemed to notice Meroko standing off in the shadows.

"Hey," Izumi looked straight at the girl, "Micky! You're up!" Takuto speedily turned around and faced Mitsuki. His face held a slightly pained look until he checked himself.

"Mitsuki," he whispered, "I'm sorry." THen he got up and left.
