What does it means to live?

Chapter: 4 True Lies

Disclaimer: I don't own the Noir characters and since this is a fan fiction site..
You should have already figured that one out,if not..I am very sorry..you aren't a very bright individual.

Warning: Contains Yuri which will make this story for mature readers only

Author's Note:
Friendships, Hardships and even betrayal..
What exactly are the true lies?
Even a lie is based upon something of the truth..

Some truths are just as painful as a lie..
While some would prefer to hear a lie
instead of hearing what is true..
Sometimes whether we want to or not..
We have to except those truths..

A consistent lie is often going to lead the teller to admit truth.
With every fact there is fiction..
With every positive there is a negative.

The liar isn't always a liar and
the honest man isn't always a honest man.

To understand and actually understand such things,
All can be forgiven in the end.

Something I just thought of randomly.. to note in this chapter while listening to the song "Désenchantée" which practically has nothing to do with what I just wrote but is certainly a beautiful song in my opinion.;

On Kirika's way to school she over heard the Valerie girl speaking to a group of other kids.

"That Kirika girl is weird she was all over me yesterday.

"I doubt she could be as weird as Chiyo.." Nina mentioned.

"Val, I will get my stuff back from you, I swear!" Seymour shouted.

"What is he talking about?" Shantay questioned.

"Who knows, he's just some crazed pervert." Valerie replied.

--

"She's not to be trusted I see."

"Konnichiwa, Kirika-Chan." Chiyo spoke up with a smile.

Kirika looked over at the smiling girl that had her right mandibular canine sticking barely over the top of her lip.
It made her smile because it reminded her of an animal with a bit of an under bite.

"You didn't show up yesterday."

"I know." The brunette replied feeling rather embarrassed that she had not noticed the other girl near her.

Chiyo scratched her head and grinned,
"I was hoping that I could come and visit and meet your roommate sometime."

The girl's words surprised Kirika and she began to turn rather pale.

Chiyo's eyes widened out of curiosity over the other woman's actions.
"Is that a scary request?"

"No, Mireille is just.. protective."

"So? there is no reason for her to protect you against me.." She scratched her head and continued speaking, "How about I walk you home this afternoon and I can meet her then?"

It took awhile for Kirika to finally agree but after a lot puppy dog looks and begging it made her laugh a little and decided to let this girl meet her partner.

After school was over the two began walking home together. Other students stuck their noses up when they saw the dark eyed, crimson haired asian girl walking beside her new friend.

When they made it back to the apartment, Mireille wasn't anywhere in sight.

Chiyo's eyes opened widely with a look of amazement, "Whoa, neat stuff.."

"Hmm.. that picture must be of the one she lives with..
She's cute too."

"I will be right back."

Chiyo turned and smiled," Alright, Kirika-Chan."

Kirika walked into the bedroom area to look for Mireille.
The blonde wasn't in the room.

"Whoa, nice bed." Chiyo remarked.

It scared Kirika that she didn't even sense the girl's movements. What was even worse was that Mireille had just come from the bathroom after taking a long shower and saw Kirika with the girl that kissed her a few days ago, in their bedroom .

Chiyo could see the anger boiling up in the blonde.
She scratched her head and thought of something to say. "If the two of you share a bed.. why aren't you a couple?" she questioned.

Kirika felt herself become embarrassed by her friend's words. Mireille was a bit embarrassed herself but a little more angry than embarrassed.

"Our personal life shouldn't be any of your business."

"Your right, it shouldn't be and I will give you two some privacy until you are ready for us to meet properly."

Chiyo shut the door and Mireille looked at Kirika with an upset look upon her face.

"Never bring ANYONE into the bedroom.."

"Mireille.. I didn't bring her in..I told her to wait out there.. she wanted to meet you."

"Why didn't you just plan this for a different day?"

"It's too late now, Mireille.."

"I suppose it it is.."

--

The two assassins walked out of their bedroom and noticed Chiyo playing a game of pool by herself.

Mireille cleared her throat to make their presence known.

"Hello, I am Kirika's roommate, Mireille."

"Chiyo.. Ha-- Chiyo Matsumura, it's nice to meet you."

The two women shook hands each giving the other an intense look.

Kirika then interrupted. "I'll make the tea."

"Thank you, Kirika." Chiyo replied.

"Are you both purely lesbian? or bi-sexual?"

Mireille angrily picked the girl up by her shirt.

"We aren't in that kind of relationship!"

"Oh, acting as a big sister that shares her bed?" Chiyo added a wink to her reply and a wide grin took over her features.

"You are really beginning to piss me off.."

"Can I date her then?" Chiyo teased.

The blonde gave the girl a death glare which caused the girl to be silent.

Chiyo finally spoke up to clear the silence,
"It's hard to understand someone like you.."

"Just shut up ."

Finally Kirika brought the tea in for them to drink.
Mireille smiled and watched her partner and then glanced to the side and noticed that Chiyo was grinning when Kirika bent down.

The blonde sighed and asked,
"Will you stop looking at her like that?"

Chiyo's eyes opened widely with question in them.
"Why?"

Mireille held her head in her hands.

"What in the hell is with this girl..she acts like such a dumb ass and the things she says are just so stupid.."

"EVERYTHING ABOUT HER IS FUCKING ANNOYING!"

"Mireille.. are you feeling alright?" Kirika questioned in concern as she touched her partner's hand.

The blonde looked up and smiled at the girl and could see Kirika's concern.

"It's just a headache.. that's all.."

Kirika looked between the girls and then mentioned.
"After you drink your tea, Chiyo.."

"Yes, Kirika?"

"It might be best if you go home.. Mireille has a headache and she probably needs her rest."

Chiyo understood the girl's concern for her partner.
"I understand, Kirika-Chan.. I will see you tomorrow then?"

The brunette replied, "Yes." with a smile on her face.

Seeing the smile on Kirika's face allowed Chiyo to know that she had not angered her friend.

After Chiyo finished her tea she then excused herself.

"Thank you, for allowing me to come over Kirika and also it was nice meeting you, Mireille."

Chiyo kissed the blonde's hand and then walked out.
Mireille was surprised by both Chiyo's action and the way that Kirika had sent her friend home.

"Kirika?"

"After you finish your tea, Mireille.. I want you to go to bed."

"I'm fine, Kirika.. re--"

Kirika placed her pointer finger to Mireille's lips which silenced her partner and at the same slightly aroused the older woman.

The blonde smiled and kissed Kirika's finger.
Soon their lips met and then Kirika broke the kiss by latching her arms tightly around her partner and began to smile with a happy with a content look upon her face.

"She's interested in you."

Mireille's words caused the younger woman to let go and give the one she cared about most a puzzled look.

"While you were making tea.. Chiyo asked if she could date you."

"That's silly.. why would she.." Kirika began to question until Mireille added more.

"She was looking you over also."

"Mireille.. will you please stop acting so over protective.."

"Huh?"

"You never seem to like anyone that I am around..
I can understand Chloe... and even Valerie... but I think Chiyo is different from them."

The blonde crossed her arms and turned her head,
"I don't like her and I simply do not trust her."
her body soon began to tremble.

"Mireille..?"

Angrily the blonde Corsican lashed out,

"YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED TO KISS EVERYONE THAT YOU MEET, KIRIKA!"

"MIREILLE!" Kirika did her best to silence her partner but was then cut off by more shouting from the ranting woman.

"ALL THEY WANT FROM YOU IS SEX! IT'S NOT THE SAME AS HAVING INTIMATE FEELINGS FOR SOMEONE!"

Both angry and frustrated Kirika spoke up to question her partner, "What do you want from me, Mireille..?"

"Kirika.."

"We kiss.. we touch and share the same bed but it never leads to intimacy.."

"It is.. we have a partnership, Kirika.. we look out for each other and try to keep each other safe and secure."

"Why can't it be more?"

"Huh?"

"Mireille you must feel it too.. the urges.. a desire to be even closer.. I feel it every day.."

The blonde walked away and grumbled," Dummy."

"Mireille!" Kirika shouted. "MIREILLE!"

The brunette fell to her knees in tears while her roommate locked the bathroom door.

"Why am I always the one who causes Mireille pain?"

"I too found pain... this pain hurts far worse than any of the wounds that I have received before.."

"This one hurts on the inside..."

Mireille was sitting in the bathroom crying to herself.

"The cold hearted bitch strikes again.."

"Why can't I just tell her how I feel?"

"If I hurt her too much.. those eyes of hatred will return..."

"If they do... then I deserve the face them.."

"Kirika... I am so sorry.."

Hours later Mireille finally decides to go into the same room as Kirika and notices the girl staring out the window.

"It's probably more interesting outside.. isn't it?"

Kirika kept quiet and silence was once again.

"Hungry?" Mireille asked.

Kirika shook her head no in reply.

"Do you want to go shopping?"

Kirika shook her head no very quickly.

"Hmm.."

The girl went back to her silence.

"I am an over protective bitch aren't I?"

Kirika shook her head as in a reply to "yes"
Mireille laughed and then walked up behind Kirika and hovered above her and began looking out. The brunette could feel her partner's breasts at times touch her head and sometimes feel the woman resting her chin upon her head.

"I'm not very good at saying my feelings, Kirika.."

"I noticed that.."

"I'm very sorry for yelling and acting so--"

"Jealous?" Kirika replied.

Mireille wrapped her arms around her partner.

"Maybe.. but I--"

"You just don't like anyone..."

The blonde replied with a smile upon her face while holding her partner,"Hey... I like you...don't I?"

"Only when your not having your period.. and when you aren't so moody.."

Mireille's smile turn into a grin as her chin bumped Kirika's head and she commented,
"Damn.. you make it sound as though I am a real bitch.."

The blonde lifted her chin and Kirika turned to face her.

"Mireille.."

"Yes?"

"I care a lot about you.."

"Kirika.. I care a lot about you too.."

The Japanese girl smiled at her partner lovingly once again.

"You should clean up.. I will make us something for dinner."

Mireille smiled and jokingly saluted her partner and replied, "Yes, Sir."

The blonde then noticed the newspaper laying around and began reading it as Kirika began cooking.

"Hmm.. just like the last one.."

"Is something wrong, Mireille?"

"There.. has been quite a few "odd" murders taking place."

"Is it someone you know, Mireille?"

"I'm not certain.. but I want you to stay alert while your out.. Kirika."

"Alright."

The blonde looked over at her busy partner and decided to get up and try to help her,"Since your making dinner.. I will make our tea tonight."

Kirika then interrupted,
"No, I will make both dinner and the tea."

Mireille became frustrated with the younger woman's words and raised her voice in reply,
"I said that I can make it."

"And I said that I will make it." Kirika replied.

Mireille grumbled and sighed,
"Fine, you can make the damn tea.."

As the blonde walked back to her seat she could hear her partner laughing to herself. It brought a smile to her own face.

"I enjoy doing things for you, Mireille.."

"I don't see why.."

"It's because I love you."
