Hey! this is just chapter 2 reposted with Chapter 3 included to make it longer

this is it! i'm not writting anymore for this fic (ya...i didn't end it, I know!) but there were no reviews when i first posted Chapter 2 up, so i'm thinking that no one really wants to read it anyways!!

sorry if any readers did want me to continue...i just don't feel like wasting my time writting when i have no idea if anyone's even reading it!

Yzak walked slowly towards the door. Turning around to face Shiho, he opened his mouth to say something and then just turned around again. He'd done that now several times and Shiho was beginning to get suspicious.

"What is it?" She finally asked.

Yzak stared at her and then looked at the door and back at her again. "Okay. I should warn you beforehand. Dearka is a complete mess." Yzak told her.

Shiho stared at him. "umm..ya I kinda know that, that's why we're here."

"No, I mean he's totally depressed and he hasn't really…showered in a while…well, since Mir and him broke up."

Mir? So Yzak was pretty close to her as well...exactly how close were they?…STOP! That shouldn't matter to you. Yzak's relationships with other girls are NONE of your concern! Shiho thought angrily both jealous and annoyed.

Frowning because of the jealously she felt towards over the thought that Yzak may have had more of a relationship with Miriallia than she had thought previously, Shiho didn't respond back.

Yzak mistook the frown. "Oh come-on! You can't back down just because a guy smells…what type of a soldier are you? Can't handle some bad smells Hahnenfuss?" He smirked silently.

Shiho turned to look at Yzak and smiling sweetly she said, "Well, he can't smell worse than you can he, commander?" and walked in.

Okay never mind, this is bad. Shiho wanted to turn around the minute she entered Dearka's room.

He was just lying there, in his boxers (thank God for that at least Shiho thought), drinking and crying. He smelt like liquor and BO. She couldn't handle it. She turned around to leave, only to find herself facing Yzak's smirking face.

"Well now, you sure I smell worse than him?" He grinned.

Shiho gave him a dirty look and turned around to face Dearka again. But couldn't say anything. She had never seen him look so pathetic, she had no idea how to handle it.

"Hey, get up. I'm gonna take you out to a bar…dance a bit, hook up with some girls, get drunk, you know the drill." Yzak finally said to Dearka.

Dearka looked up at Yzak. "I'm already drunk..and I only want Mir." Taking a sip from his can, he looked away from both Shiho and Yzak.

"Ya, well I've had enough of you drinking here by yourself." Grabbing the can, Yzak forced Dearka to stand up.

Shiho looked away. Somehow, she really didn't feel comfortable seeing Dearka in such a state.

"Why did she have to leave me?" Dearka asked so silently, Shiho had to close her eyes.

Suddenly for the first time, she felt bad for Dearka. He really was a nice guy; he didn't deserve to be treated like this…what exactly happened between him and Miriallia.

"Listen, maybe it was suppose to happen. I mean she was a natural, you guys have different lives and besides…she wasn't even that good looking." Yzak told him.

Shiho at this turned around. What the hell did looks have to do with this, you moron? She screamed silently at Yzak.

But Dearka looked up at Yzak and for the first time had an expression different from misery.

"Hey you know what? You damn right! I was totally great to her, and if she didn't want me, that's her freaken loss! Who needs those kind of women? You can get a whole bunch easily! Lets go man, out just like we used to! Just us guys! Oh…and you too Shiho..but you're like one of us."

Shiho smiled and said "Glad you finally noticed me."

Dearka smiled back and looked kinda goofy for a second with this great big smile and then he broke out laughing. "Yzak, man, we're gonna take Shiho out dancing? This tomboy? Hahah..she planning on hooking up as well?" with this Dearka burst out laughing.

Yzak too smirked and looked over at Shiho. "Well, I'm sure there's some stupid moron out there who would be interested in Shiho..all we'll have to do is get him good and drunk."

Getting annoyed, Shiho told Dearka icily that maybe he should take a shower. Dearka didn't notice the voice and just grinned and agreed.

"Maybe I shouldn't go Yzak…I mean since it's gonna be such a hassle for you two to, oh what's the words…umm oh ya…get a guy good and drunk for me, what's the point of me coming along?" Shiho snapped at Yzak.

Yzak only smirked at Shiho and said, "Because you agreed to help me out."

Shiho looked at him annoyed but didn't say anything.

"Hey, don't get all pissed off. All I meant was that you're not one of those sluts that go off with any guy to get laid. It's a compliment!" Yzak tired to defend himself.

"Oh, you're right. I'm not like those sluts am I? The ones that you spend your nights with huh? I'm not one of those girls right?"She snarled but then wished she hadn't.

Yzak looked totally confused by her anger and was about to say something but luckily Dearka came out of the shower all ready to go.

Dearka glancing up at the two and noticed the difference in their attitude. Something told him this trip wasn't going to be as fun as they had planned.

This was such a bad idea. Shiho thought angrily. Yzak should have know better than to have brought Dearka out dancing…obviously he and Miriallia went dancing before...and now the moron's just sitting there glaring at me while Dearka's sitting here crying.

Shiho looked around and didn't see anything all that special about the bar. She tried to ignore the death glares Yzak was sending her but that was proving to be a hassle.

Meanwhile, Dearka had broken down again about how he and Miriallia had come here before and that they had fun. Shiho really couldn't understand everything…it was all muffled by his crying.

"What the hell did you mean earlier, Shiho?" Yzak finally barked at Shiho.

How long have you been waiting to ask me that Yzak?

"Gosh Yzak, I think I made it pretty clear what I meant! But can I ask you something? What the hell were you thinking when you brought Dearka to this dump?" Shiho replied, pissed off at Yzak.

She waved her hand around the place. "Look at it you idiot!! The girls here are barely covered! Everyone smells like drugs and beer! You know, just because you like your girls to be low-class sluts, doesn't mean all guys do!"

This didn't suit Yzak really well. "Where were your great ideas huh? You basically left everything to me! And what the hell do you know about all of this? You've never had a boyfriend in your entire life!! But that's understandable…Only a stupid moron would ever wanna date a girl who's that big of an ass! It's no wonder every guy in the military avoids you!"

Shiho felt like she just was slapped.

Turning to look at Yzak straight in the eye, she asked him that if he felt that way towards her why he was even friends with her.

Then getting up, eyes filled with tears, she left. Yzak sat there at the table for a while with the sobbing Dearka, who seemed unaware of what had just happened, and debated about whether he should apologized or not.

Damn Yzak thought to himself Maybe I shouldn't have been so harsh...she kinda started it though…what the hell was she going on about anyways? …shit she's probably crying now…should I go find her…Damnit all! First Dearka and now Shiho…this isn't all my fault.

Yzak looks around. Shiho was right. The bar was over-crowded with sluts…and guys wanting to get laid.

Suddenly feeling an urgent need to find Shiho, Yzak moved his head frankly around. A couple of girls in short skirts gave him some encouraging looks, but Yzak didn't even care.

Where the hell was Shiho? Shit…some guy is probably with her right now. The thought of another guy with her brother Yzak enormously, yet he didn't really understand why.

He finally saw her sitting at the end of bar table with her elbows on the table, looking absolutely miserable.

Idiot girl...doesn't she realize that she looks like prime target for some horny bastard? Yzak couldn't help thinking, getting thoroughly annoyed with Shiho but not knowing exactly why it should be of concern to him.

Walking towards her, Yzak noticed that another blond guy was walking towards her as well…with two drinks and that Shiho actually glanced up and smiled at the guy.

Yzak watched as both Shiho and the blond guy talked for a bit. Shiho at one point laughed, and playfully hit the guy on the chest. Yzak felt as though burning acid had been poured down his throat.

Having enough of Shiho and the blond loser, Yzak marched over to Shiho and pulls her into a tight hug. Shiho looks up completely shocked at Yzak who continues to hug tightly.

"Hey baby, sorry I'm so late." He said, burying his head into her hair.

The blond guy looked completely confused and asked Shiho if Yzak was her boyfriend.

Before Shiho could reply, Yzak pulled his head out of Shiho's hair and said, "What do you think?" The guy, looking embarrassed, gave a weak laugh and left. Yzak didn't let go of Shiho.

Shiho, who remained silent throughout the entire confrontation, finally pulled away from Yzak and asked, "What the hell was that?"

Yzak looked down at her and snarled "We're here to help Dearka find a girl, not hook up ourselves."

Shiho looked at him fully annoyed at this point and responded, "It's a crappy place to find any girl and the whole idea's pretty stupid."

"Really? It's a dumb idea to find someone here Shiho? Well, then why the hell were you hooking up with that blond loser?" Yzak said frowning at her.

"Yzak," Shiho said, her voice dangerously low, "do you think that I would just randomly hook up with some guy? I'm not you."

Yzak stared at her for a long time. "What am I Shiho huh? This whole evening has been a disaster and you keep saying it's because of me. So why don't you just come out and tell me what it is about me that's got you so damn annoyed."

Shiho didn't say anything and then finally looking down, she whispered, "You're a stupid moron."

Yzak quickly looked down at her and was surprised to see such angry tears in her eyes. "Shiho, what the hell? Why are you so mad at me all of a sudden?" he whispered, his voice softer than it had been earlier.

Shiho lifted her head, and still in that same low voice, she asked him, "Why did you chase that guy away?"

Yzak just looked at her and then finally said quietly, "Isn't it obvious Shiho?"

Shiho was so shocked, she couldn't say anything. But it didn't really matter. Before either of them could say anything, they heard someone singing.

Turning around, they looked back towards where Dearka was sitting only to find him standing on his table…singing at the top of his lungs.

"lovvvve.. I lovvve you I loooovvvve you butt you still leftttt meeee! Oh whyy oh why oh why Mir did you leavvve me"

Shiho and Yzak, both looking shocked and embarrassed rushed over to pull Dearka off the table. At that point Dearka had begun to sob and scream at the same time. Grabbing Shiho, dropping a couple of twenties on the table, Yzak pulled both Dearka and her out of the bar. Getting into the car, he put Dearka into the back while Shiho went over and sat in the front with him.

They drove in silence for a while with only Dearka's sobbing and whining for Miriallia from time to time to cover the awkward silence. Eventually arriving at their place, Yzak pulled Dearka out of the car and helped him into his bedroom. Halfway there, Dearka collapsed on top of Shiho, and Shiho and Yzak had to half carry him, half drag him into his bed.

Once Dearka had safety gotten into his bed and fallen asleep, Shiho and Yzak sat around the living room not saying much. Eventually, Shiho looked at the time and said she should get going.

Yzak looking up at her, walked up to the door and said, "I'll walk you back."

Shiho didn't brother to tell him he didn't have to…Yzak never liked to have her walking home at night so late.

Walking the blocks to Shiho's place, Yzak realized that for the first time he couldn't think of anything to say. Shiho, herself, wasn't talking either and Yzak wondered if she was still mad at him.

When finally arriving to her place, Yzak made an attempt at a joke. "It would have been easier if I had just dropped you off first…we wouldn't have had to walk in the cold."

Shiho smiled politely but answered, "You would have been left by yourself to carry Dearka into bed."

Yzak smiled at Shiho's face and said, "Ya. I'm a complete mess without you."

Giving him a real smile, Shiho answered, "You don't think I know that already? Why else do you think I agreed to help you?"

Yzak smiled, relieved that they weren't arguing again.

Shiho, while opening her door, turned and looked at Yzak and said slowly, "Yzak, I'm sorry. I need to do something to fix this situation we're in."

Yzak nodded and looking up at the sky said, "Ya, we both need to do something about it. We should hook Dearka up with a girl…like a blind date or something instead of just letting him find someone…that should help"

Shiho fully turned around to look at Yzak and smiling sadly she whispered, "Ya, maybe." And then went inside.

Yzak walked home slowly and it was only when he came back to his place that it occurred to him that the situation Shiho had been talking about may not have been about Dearka.
