SSSSSUUUUUPPPPPP? My friend just faked an asthma attack. Sorry had to get that out of my system, writing when I'm angry is good, because then I can direct it towards Mari's feelings and it helps me write much much better! Unless it's in Ace's POV, just a little fact about me that I know no one really cares about…yeah…anyway the only reason she faked it was because I was seriously pissed at her. Since I was trying to help her relationship with a boy, for some reason he decided to steal the book that was in my bag at the time, IT WAS THE 5th DAMN VOLUME OF PANDORA HEARTS! So I threatened to (Quote me) 'I'LL RIP YOUR GODAMNED NECK OFF KEVIN!' (End quote) I'm still pissed; no one really cares, so I'm just going to start the chapter now.

Apologies aren't Ace's thing & Mari the Mind Reader
-XxXxXxX- Ace's POV
"She seemed mad…is that a bad thing?" I asked Alice.
"Considering now Dan can't have kids, she kicked you multiple times…for you it probably is." Alice said sheepishly. "She's been like that since she woke up."
Um…maybe blackmail isn't a good thing when she will probably beat me up…badly…I might not be able to have kids…
"Why are you here anyway?" Alice asked us.
"Ace wanted to see how Mari was coping. Translation: He likes her." Shun said.
"Do not."
"Do too."
"Do not."
"Do too."
"Do not."
"Do too."
"Do not."
"We sound like second graders."
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"DO NOT."
"I should go check on Mari…she might hurt someone else…" Alice told me.
"I'm going to post this on Youtube then…" Shun told me and held up the footage of Mari continuously kicking me, and then kicking Dan…where it hurts.
"I have practice pretty soon." Dan said…leaving me…I thought I might as well go for a walk, but my life was rarely so simple.
As I wandered aimlessly I saw Mari sitting under a tree. A bit of hair fell over her eyes, she seemed to be looking out to the city; the university was built on an incline almost, so you could see the city below.
I wondered if I should say sorry or something, but I thought that it might have been better to leave her alone for a little while, she actually did seem really pissed at me.
"I already know your there." She said,
DOES SHE READ MINDS?
"Uh…" Was my genius response.
I sat down next to her and looked down, but that's when figured she wasn't looking down; she was staring at the clouds aimlessly.
We sat in silence for a few minutes, I was shocked how little presence she had, it was like she wasn't there, and when I closed my eyes I actually believed that she wasn't there…cool, but why was she so pissed at me for a simple change in style?
She was the first one to break the silence.
"I bet your wondering why I'm so pissed at you." She told me.
Seriously, she must be reading my mind.
"Actually, yes." I told her.
"I wasn't always so cold and stuff. My mother and father died when I was young, and my grandparents raised me to be like this I guess, it might be a bit hard to believe, but…I used to be a little preppy girl, I almost never wore black and pink was my favorite color." She scoffed.
I stared at her for a moment.
"Seriously?"
"Do I have to kick you again?" she asked me.
"NO!' I said.
She giggled slightly, I'd never heard her laugh, but it was almost like small tinkling bells, a high pitch sound, but it was gentle. WHAT THE HELL AM I THINKING?
"Why do you even care about me?" She asked me coolly.
"…I guess I find you really interesting…the fact that you chose to be who you are right now…people like you make me want to look into what you do, who you are, and make me want to see what would happen if you changed." I told her sheepishly.
"I guess you know now at least…" She scoffed.
She didn't seem so mad; she seemed to be playing with my words almost…what was up with that?
"Oh yeah…sorry if I seem to be playing with your words a little." She told me.
SERIOUSLY? What the hell?
I wanted to apologize, but…I guess it wasn't really in me.
"Mari…apologies aren't really what I would do, or my thing but you seem really mad." I told her. "So I'm really sorry for making you be someone you don't want to be. You can't put your hair down, and change your style back if you want. I don't care."
"…" She looked at me for a moment.
"Thanks." She told me with the smallest smile.
-XxXxXxX-
I had told Mari she could be herself, but just then the next day…
Me, Shun, and Dan walked to where Alice and Mari usually ate, only to find a girl with a long blond ponytail, and emerald green eyes, wearing a short sleeves that hugged her figure with a grim reaper design on it (A/N: I wanted to use Shinigami, but I was scared some people wouldn't understand…Shinigami means death god) it was black and different shades of gray, her black skirt was solid black with a silver trim, a pair of scarlet colored crossing belts and a black chocker with a bow to the side, her hair was tied with a red ribbon.
"Hi Alice and…" Dan said then stopped. "Um…are you new?"
"Nice to meet you." She said, and I could see Alice stifle laughs. "Names Mari, Mari Mizumi."
"WHAT?" We all almost screamed as the two girls laughed.
SO! Mari improved on what Ace decided as her style (that's actually and outfit I wish I owned), and she kept the ponytail, even adding in a red ribbon, and a black chocker with a bow, -sigh- -.- if only Asians could have blond hair like that…without dying it. Please review, and continue to read! I'll post the next chapter when I finished up chapter 9 of 'Unseen', which probably means a new chapter in about 1-2 days, I find myself with nothing better to do on the computer then type up my stories, hope your enjoying them and review!
