Made For Each Other

Chapter Six: Always Be

I was just a boy like every other
I thought I was something fierce
I thought I was ten times smarter
Love would be something that I just know
(Something I just know)
How you gonna know the feeling till you've lost it
I've been losing plenty since

Noi ran down the hall and into the living room where the boys had gathered. The sobbing girl ran straight for Takenaga and buried her face in his chest. Being the shy boy he was, Takenaga blushed slightly as he reluctantly wrapped his arms around his girlfriend to comfort her. Showing affection for her in front of others was not one of his strong points. "I warned you she would be extra scary…" Of course, what he considered a great display did not faze the other three boys in the least. Yuki quickly jumped up from where he was sitting and walked over to the two.

"Are you okay? What happened!" Concern was evident in the childish boy's voice. Noi sniffed and moved away from Takenaga enough to look at the others.

"S-she was so…sniff…s-scary." Noi paused to wipe her eyes, and much to her disappointment, Takenaga let go of her so she could move freely. "Sunako said she…sniff…doesn't want us as her friends." She leaned into Takenaga, but continued to face the others.

Yuki looked like he might just match her tears and Ranmaru looked concerned as well, though his concern was more for the welfare of Sunako than her scaring Noi. Kyouhei however, seemed rather uninterested.

"What are you so worked up about?" Kyouhei muttered. "She says shit like that all the time."

"Aren't you concerned at all?" Noi's anger flared. Kyouhei just shrugged in response.

"Why are you in such a bad mood?" Ranmaru frowned. "Is it your fault she's locked herself up again?" Kyouhei shot the red head a glare that put him in tears.

"I didn't do anything!" He snapped. "Maybe you should talk to her bastard boyfriend before you accuse me of doing shit to that stupid girl." Before anyone could say another word, Kyouhei stomped up the stairs and they heard his door slam shut.

"He's so scary!" Ranmaru had been cowering in Yuki's arms from Kyouhei's death glare; both boys had tears streaming down their cheeks.

"Jealousy?" Noi wondered aloud as Ranmaru and Yuki composed themselves.

"I think he knows something he's not telling us." Takenaga suggested.

oOoOOoOOOoOOoOo

Kyouhei rubbed his eyes groggily as he made his way down the stairs and into the kitchen. His stomach growled and he frowned. Sunako had not been cooking, and therefore no one in the house had eaten a proper meal in two days. The blond felt a twitch of anger as he noticed there was the scent of burnt toast in the air, signaling today would be the third day. Sunako had never burned anything. As he expected he found a fellow male housemate, Yuki, scraping some butter on his blackened toast. Yuki was, no doubt, the worst cook of them all.

"Good Morning Kyouhei!" Yuki greeted cheerfully, despite the circumstanced.

"What's good about it?" Kyouhei muttered. "There's nothing to eat." Yuki's smiled faded at his housemates foul mood. He was always intolerable when he was hungry.

"Ano…at least there's bento today." Yuki answered as he quickly left the kitchen, grabbing one of four bento left stacked on the counter.

Kyouhei looked at the three remaining bento and perked up. Bento? Maybe she's back to normal today after all! He quickly walked over and picked up the top one looking inside hopefully. "THAT BITCH!" Kyouhei put the bento down and stomped out of the kitchen, nearly knocking Takenaga over on his way out. Furious, he marched down the hall to Sunako's room and flung open the door. He reached out and flipped the switch for the light, but nothing happened. Of course she would have disabled it. This just fed his anger as he scanned the room for the creature of darkness.

"If you're looking for Sunako, she left for school twenty minutes ago." Takenaga said from a few feet away. "She said she had to go in early today."

Kyouhei spun around and Takenaga thought he saw fire in his eyes. "That bitch…she knew I'd be angry so she left early!"

Takenaga neither agreed nor disagreed with his roommate's theory. Something had definitely happened, he just didn't know what. Though, judging from the bento Sunako had left on the counter, she wasn't only angry with Kyouhei. Sunako was angry with all of them.

oOoOOoOOOoOOoOo

Sunako sat across from Haru in the science closet and handed him his bento, but did not make eye contact. This was her sanctuary. Though he was her fellow creature of darkness, and they had been sharing lunch here together since he had transferred, right now she wished she was alone. She hadn't wanted to come to school this morning, but it would have started to affect her schoolwork if she had stayed home again. She also didn't think she could bare dealing with the creatures of light begging her to go either. Instead, she had left extra early in order to avoid them, and all the other students as well. Sunako had entered the classroom before anyone else and quietly taken her seat in the very back of the room, enjoying the solitude. I should leave for school early more often. It was much better than walking behind the radiant beings and ignoring all the death glares from their fans. Why didn't I ever do it before? She wondered as she ate in silence. Then the reason occurred to her and Sunako felt a small twinge in her chest. She usually made breakfast for the boys…

After eating in silence for a few minutes, Haru spoke. "Why weren't you in school the past two days?"

"I was sick." She lied. He may be her fellow creature of darkness, but she definitely didn't trust him with the truth. The only ones who knew about her emotional freak-outs, aside from the occasional one caught by a new reporter, were the creatures of light. As much as this displeased her, she'd rather the number not grow.

"I see." Haru smirked a little, but Sunako was too busy starring at her bento and playing with her food to notice. As she rolled around a piece of sushi in her bento she suddenly remembered why she had been supplying Haru with lunch for the last week. Her new friend had complained to her about how awful his aunt's cooking was and offered to take her somewhere special, all expenses paid, if she made lunch for him instead. When he informed Sunako that this special place was an old, haunted lighthouse, she jumped at the chance.

"Haru," She began, looking up at the boy who was stuffing his face with her cooking. "When will you take me to the lighthouse?"

"Oh, uh…" Haru quickly swallowed. "You still remember that huh?" He asked and Sunako nodded vigorously. How could she have forgotten? She'd only been making him lunch to account for her expenses, and they had made all those trips to the graveyard to strengthen her ghost hunting skills. "Well you see-"

BANG! Haru was cut short when the door burst open and light exploded into the dark room. The two of them shielded their eyes, temporarily blinded.

"What do you call this!" A deep voice shouted and Sunako saw a bento box thrown to the ground in front of her, contents spilling out. However, there really wasn't much to spill out. The only thing in the box was a handful of rice crackers and a few mouthfuls worth of rice.

"Lunch." Sunako replied. She looked up from where she was sitting and her cold violet eyes met flaming obsidian ones. How dare he disturb her like this in her sanctuary? I hate this dazzling creature most of all.

"Don't fuck with me!" Kyouhei continued to shout, drawing the attention of several students walking by. He ignored the whispers as they rushed past. As handsome as he was, Kyouhei was scary when he was angry. Sunako turned away, unable to keep up her cold stare without a nosebleed, and his eyes drifted towards Sunako's and Haru's lunches. "You bitch! You starve us and then make a feast for you and this bastard?" Kyouhei felt like his blood had turned to fire and was now coursing through his veins. Not only was he starving, but she had made him lunch again? Why does she like this guy so much? Can't she see he's no good? His newfound fire was quickly averted from Sunako to Haru. "What the hell did you say to her anyway?"

Haru now stood. Even at his full height, he wasn't nearly as tall as Kyouhei, but he looked just as intimidating in his own way. While Kyouhei was tall and muscular, Haru had an empty look in his eyes; it was the kind of look that sent chills down even Sunako's spine (of course, she enjoyed it). "Nothing she didn't already know." Haru replied calmly as he brushed the hair out of his face with a smug look. His calm manner of speaking only infuriated Kyouhei further.

"Sunako," He addressed her without moving his gaze from those vacant eyes. "I know you like this guy because he's a creature of darkness or whatever, but he's not someone you want as your friend." Though he would deny it being jealousy till his tongue fell off, he would admit to himself at least that he was worried. He still amazed himself at how much he would worry about this girl. She was always getting herself into bad situations and making friends with the wrong kind of people. Kyouhei liked to think of himself as a pretty good judge of character, and Haru was definitely not a character he wanted Sunako involved with.

"Oh really?" Haru took a threatening step forward. "And who should she want as her friend over me? You?" Haru looked Kyouhei up and down as if he were bored. "What good are you to her? She can't even stand the sight of you." Kyouhei could feel Haru's gaze burning into him as he spoke each word.

Haru's words stung. Somehow, this guy really knew how to get under his skin; it was just one of the many things he was finding he hated about him. Topping the list was the idea that Sunako might like him better than him, though he didn't quite consciously know that was reason he had been so irritable the last few days. Kyouhei couldn't think of a comeback fast enough. Instead, he turned to Sunako who was watching from where she sat on the sidelines as the argument ensued.

It was a match of light versus dark, a classic battle. Normally such a thing would excite her, but that wasn't the case. What is this feeling? Haru was her friend, she maybe even liked him….at least, he had told her she liked him. He had held her hand and even almost…no, now was not the time to be thinking about that. She needed to figure out this feeling first. She also hated this radiant being, didn't she? I should be happy that Haru seems to be winning. I decided myself I would be better in the darkness, away from the creatures of light. He's saying the words that the creature hates the most, so that should make him leave, ne? Why does the thought of that hurt?

The dazzling creature didn't quite understand the girls confused expression, but she didn't seem to be protesting what Haru was saying in anyway. Why would she argue with him? He thought solemnly. Haru saw the flash of emotion in Kyouhei's eyes when he looked at Sunako and an eerie smiled crept onto his face.

"I see," He gave a halfhearted laugh. "You love her, don't you?"

Kyouhei quickly turned back to his enemy. "What the hell are you going on about now?" He snapped, annoyed at the smug tone Haru had taken on. What made him think he knew anything of how Kyouhei felt? "I'm sick of listening to you talk." He took a step towards Haru. "What makes you think I even care abmmffmm"

Kyouhei's shout was cut off when a hand came over his mouth and he was pulled out of the closet and down the hallway. He waved his arms and legs around to fight the person off, but two more latched on to either side.

"Stop, before you say something you'll regret." The person covering his mouth stated calmly from behind. Kyouhei stopped fighting and turned around to see Takenaga. Yuki and Ranmaru had been the two to grab him. They had dragged him down the hallway and away from the inevitable fight. The boys released him.

"What did you do that for?" Kyouhei snapped.

"Noi heard from some of the girls that you were fighting so we came to intervene." Takenaga explained. Kyouhei flashed his eyes to see Noi standing sheepishly in the corner. "Or did you want to be suspended for fighting?" His captor continued.

"You can't let your emotions get the better of you like that." Ranmaru scolded, shaking his head. "You'll never win Sunako back if you keep insulting her friend."

"Yes, we want you with her. Not Haru." Noi spoke up, finding her voice.

"That guy is bad news." Kyouhei muttered, ignoring Ranmaru and Noi's comments. Of course, the group took this as confirmation of his feelings for the goth girl.

"Kyouhei wants to protect Sunako!" Yuki said happily. "You really do love her!"

"This is so annoying. I just want to eat good food again." Kyouhei sighed and leaned against the wall in the hallway. "Someone buy me lunch."

"No." All three answered in unison.

Meanwhile, a group of girls who had been peeking around the corner of the hallway ran off in the opposite direction. They had heard it all. Takano Kyouhei really does love Nakahara Sunako.

oOoOOoOOOoOOoOo

Haru walked out of the corner shop that he passed on his way home, taking out a cigarette and lighting it up. He took a long drag before blowing smoke into the air; a failed attempt at smoke rings. He stopped to sit on a park bench, knowing all too well the unfavorable reaction he would get from his aunt if she caught him. He ruffled his scraggly hair in annoyance and took another puff, closing his eyes and leaning back as he exhaled. The day had been so stressful. Dealing with that Takano was really starting to get on his nerves. He had just been about to relax when he opened his eyes and saw three girls surrounding him.

"What now?" He groaned.

"It's not working." The girl on his left whined.

"Not my fault. I've done everything you asked."

"But he's in love with her!" The same girl continued. Haru looked less than interested, blowing smoke in her face instead of answering. The girl coughed and glared back at him.

"You're friends are so annoying." He complained to the girl on his right, his cousin. "You're lucky you all have a lot of cash."

"We have a new proposal." The girl in the center spoke now. She had short raven colored hair and an authoritative manner as she spoke.

"Oh? And what's that?" He asked, blowing smoke in her face too. However, the girl seemed unfazed and simply waved it away with her hand.

"We want you to get rid of that girl…" The words spilled out of her mouth like venom. "Permanently."

She's all lost in this
She's all like she'll always be
A little far for me to reach
