Me: Here's chapter 3 of part 2!

Lucy: Holy hell that was quick!

Me: Well, I wanna get to part 4 as soon as possible! That's the most fluffiest part I've ever written, that and part three that is! If you aren't clear on anything, read chapter 10 on Part One and it'll all make sense, I can assure you.

Lucy: Yup!! Please enjoy! Oh, if you're confused...

Diclonius: a human with horns who possesses vectors.

Vectors: invisible arms on the back that work like telekenisus.

Hornless Diclonius: Basically everyone in this story. They're dicloni who have lost their horns, but can still use their vectors.

Me: READ READ READ!!

Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Elfen Lied or Yugioh GX as much as I wish I did! Enjoy!

Warnings: Do not read if you don't like shonen-ai/yaoi, mild gore, swearing, spiritshipping, and stuff like that! BTW, though it may seem it there is NO Character death! if anyone dies, they're my characters. Please enjoy!

Read This: This is Judai's past! If you're confused as to why the story is different, read Part One chapter 10 and you'll understand.

Chapter Three: Friend

"How amazing! Those horns are awesome!!" the girl yelled. Judai could only stare at the girl in confusion. She actually liked his horns? How could someone like them? Fianlly, Judai had had enough.

"If you think they're so great, you should try living with them," he whispered. The girl stopped shaking him, and released his shoulders.

"What?" she asked. Judai grit his teeth before responding.

"Do you know how many strange looks I get? How many people call me a freak? How much I wish I was normal!? I hate them! I hate these fucking horns!" he yelled. The girl stepped back a bit, allowing Judai to calm down.

Tears burned in the brunette's eyes as he shivered. Judai exhaled deeply before turning away from the blak-haired girl, tears threatening to fall any minute.

"But I can't expect a human like you to know about that," he said sadly. Judai sighed sadly and started walking away from the girl. He then heard a small noise.

"M-my name is Rei! Rei Saotome! Please! I want to be friends!" the girl yelled. Judai suddenly stopped and glanced back with shock-filled eyes.

"W-what...?" he whispered. Judai slowly turned back to face Rei, shock in his eyes. Rei shivered when she saw the look on Judai's face, but she kept speaking.

"I want to be friends! I'll be right at this spot tomorrow! I want to see you again!" she called. Judai could only stare at the girl in shock.

'Even with these horns... she wants to be... friends?' Judai thought. He sighed and then turned his back to Rei, not allowing her to see his face.

"I might consider coming back," he said before walking away. He heard the girl behind him give a little whoop of happiness and Judai couldn't help but smile.

He smiled the whole way home.

SPIRITSHIPPING 4 EVER

"Where are you going?" Rei glanced over her shoulder and saw her father staring down at her with a questioning look in his eyes. Rei pointed at the mountains that waited in the back of the town.

"To meet a friend I promised to meet today," she answered. Suddenly, her father grabbed her shoulder and spun her around. Rei gulped when she saw the worry in her father's eyes.

"Rei, a murderer killed 2 children yesterday in a school in those mountains. They didn't catch the murderer! So until they find him..." Rei's father locked the door and placed the key in his pocket.

"You aren't allowed to leave this house!"

SPIRITSHIPPING 4 EVER

Judai sat by the tree where the gravestone he had made for the bird was. He had been sitting there for what felt like hours. And according to the sun setting, it had been hours. Judai had been here since the sun came up.

Rain started dripping, a few drops landing on his nose and the top of his head. Judai sighed deeply as the rain poured harder down on him. Tears started filling his eyes, but they weren't visible in the falling rain.

"...Liar..." he whispered. He knew Rei wasn't coming for him. She didn't want to see him. She didn't think Judai's horns were cool. She didn't think-

"WAAH!!" Judai yelped when his vision suddenly became blocked by something dropped on his head. He immediatly grabbed the part covering his face and lifted it up, only to be met by a pair of gentle brown eyes.

"...You... came..." Judai gasped. Rei nodded and smiled.

"Yeah, I did! I had to sneak out because dad didn't want me leaving," she said. Judai nodded and then felt whatever had been placed over his head.

It was nice and water-proof, allowing not even a single drop to touch his horns. In fact, Judai didn't even look like he had horns with what was on him.

"Do you like it?" Rei asked. "It's my father's old fishing hat. He doesn't use it at all, so I thought you might want it. You said those horns give you trouble, so why not hide them?"

Judai glanced up at Rei and then at the ground. He felt Rei take his hand and pull him up off the ground.

"C'mon, I'll walk you home and we can play tomorrow," Rei smiled. She turned and started dragging Judai towards the town, where both of their houses were.

Judai smiled again, taking Rei's hand in his own and walking behind her, laughing lightly.

He had an ally in this world.

SPIRITSHIPPING 4 EVER

"This is where we part," Judai suddenly said once they were in the middle of town. Rei turned around and looked at Judai with a slight concern in her eyes.

"A-are you sure?" she asked. Judai nodded slowly. "O-okay. I-I'll see you tomorrow again, right? Same place as today?"

Judai smiled warmly and glanced up at her, still smiling. "Yup."

Rei smiled in relief and then took off in the direction of where her home was. Before she got too far, however, she turned around and called to Judai.

"Hey! I ment what I said! I really do think of you as my friend! Bye bye!!" With that, Rei took off towards her house, possibly going to get in trouble for being outside when she wasn't supposed to.

Judai blushed lightly at the words, not out of love, but out of happiness. He finally found a friend. Someone who he could trust. An ally... in this Hell. Judai smiled and looked up at the sky, tears of happiness falling from his eyes.

"Thank you... God..."

"Judai?" Nozomi called out when she heard the door close tightly. Judai stomped off his shoes and slowly removed them. He placed the shoes by the front yard and walked into the living room where his mother was.

"I'm home, Mother," he called out. Laying on the couch was his mother. Nozomi had cut her hair shorter, and she didn't wear any make-up, which made her look ever-so slightly different. You wouldn't actually recognize her as Nozomi if you hadn't seen her everyday.

"Hello, Judai! Oh, where did you get that hat?" Nozomi asked, standing up and hugging Judai tightly. Judai smiled and removed the fishing hat to get a good look at it.

It was a one-size-fits-all hat, so Judai could wear it forever if he wanted to. It was an army green color, with a pocket on the side and no hooks, unlike most hats. It was really warm and water-proof.

"A friend... gave it to me," Judai smiled, recieving a bigger hug from his mother.

"The zoo?" Judai asked the next day when he went to meet Rei. Rei nodded quickly, holding up the two tickets.

"It's really, really fun! There's a bunch of exotic animals that don't live around here, and it's just amazing! We can go today!" she said, smiling. Judai sighed deeply and looked away.

"I'll go... But there's not a 100 percent chance that I'll enjoy it at all," he said. Rei nodded as if mocking him and grabbed his wrist. She then dragged him towards the town where the bus would take them to the zoo.

"Yeah, yeah. Just c'mon! We'll have fun!" she said. Judai nodded.

"Sure we will," he said sarcastically.
