Author's Notes: Instant latté tastes really bad. Erm, Michiko is Yaten's mom's name. Romance? This chapter? Uh, maybe? Depends where my mind leads me. Don't give up on me yet, EPM. You'll always be my fan, ne? ;.; Maybe by chapter, uh, 9?

"I can't take it…" Michiko turned her head to look at her daughter. Yaten looked horribly sick, she kept tremoring, and talking to herself*. Ever since that day she came home.

"What can't you take Kou-chan?" Yaten just kept staring forward, absently playing with a lock of her hair. She closed her eyes for a moment, opening them slowly. Yaten shifted her eyes to her mother's figure, and smiled.

"Nothing, Okaasan. I'm fine. You don't need to be worried about me." Michiko nodded slowly and got up from her chair.

"Whatever you say Kou-chan… But if you need me I'm here alright?" Michiko waited until her daughter nodded. She lifted her her hand, ran her fingers through her pale blue hair, and walked out of the kitchen. As soon as she left, Yaten growled, and picked up her teacup.

"Yeah. Right…" Yaten tightened her grip around the teacup, causing it to shatter. Yaten sighed and got up, barely noticing the blood dripping off the tips of her fingers*.

-----------------------
"What the hell is this? The pill is bigger than the average ecstasy pill size..." Seiya has holding a white pill in her hand, which had an imprint of a butterfly. The boy stared at Seiya with a raised eyebrow.

"It's PMA*."

"And you expect me to BUY this shit off of you? Hell. No." Seiya growled, shot her hand out, grabbed the boys collar, and shoved him up to eye level. "I told you over a WEEK ago that I wanted ecstasy, H*, and now I'm pissed because I don't have it. Do you even have the methamphetamine* I wanted from you?" Seiya's eyes were flaring with anger, and she narrowed them when H reluctantly shook his head.

"N-No, ma'am…"

"You asshole! Good god! Tell me, how old are you again?"

"Fourteen." Seiya smirked coldly.

"Fourteen, eh?" Seiya held the pill between her index finger and her thumb. "Fourteen and you will die a horribly, bloody, painful death. I'm sure that X, Dragon Tears, and Heroina* are just as pissed with you. All the more reason to die. You let us down every other damn time we ask for things from you." Seiya held H down with one hand, and shot out her other, shoving the pill into his mouth. "I'll be back in an hour to see if you're dead yet." Seiya let the boy go, chuckled low in her throat, and walked away with her hands in her pockets.

-------------------

"Okaasan, I'm going out." Yaten opened the door. Michiko rushed into the living room.

"Where are you going?" She didn't want Yaten going out in her state. Yaten scowled and glared at her mother.

"Just out. I'll be fine." Yaten walked out the door, roughly slamming it behind her. Michiko winced.

"Okaasama…?" Michiko looked down at the little, maroon-haired girl.

"Yes, Hiroko?"

"Is KouKou* awright…?" Michiko smiled reassuringly at her youngest daughter.

"Yeah. She'll be fine, Hiro-chan."

-------------------

Seiya popped the lollipop* out of her mouth and yawned. "Goddamnit. I feel like shit." She stuck the lollipop back into her mouth, and looked up the street. "Where the hell is Lime Acid?" Dragon Tears looked over at Seiya.

"What the hell did you just say?" Seiya shrugged absently and took the lollipop out of her mouth.

"I want to know where my koibito is." Dragon Tears scowled, grabbed Seiya's lollipop and shoved it back into her mouth before she started chewing on her inner cheek. Seiya turned her head and looked up the street again, spotting a petite figure walking on the sidewalk. Seiya grinned, lifted her arms, and began waving them around frantically. Dragon Tears sighed.

"You're insane when you want a stimulant." Seiya turned her head and glared at Dragon Tears, but kept flailing her arms. Dragon Tears snickered. "And you know it too."

Yaten spotted the arms that were frantically waving through the air and smiled. "Lady Caine!" Yaten began sprinting towards Seiya. Dragon Tear's eyes widened.

"Lassie moment much, Queenie*?" Seiya blinked. She turned her head to Dragon Tears and got a look that sheerly said 'what the hell is 'Lassie'?' Dragon Tears burst out laughing.

"Lady Caine!" Seiya snapped her head back the other, only to find a petite, silver-haired girl tackle her. "I missed you so much…! Oksaasan doesn't trust me anymore! I had to see you…!" Seiya lifted up an arm and took the lollipop out of her mouth that she almost choked on.

"Yeah. Nice to see you…" Seiya cracked open her eyes, only to have a birds eye view down Yaten's tanktop. "…too…" Dragon Tears was snickered at the pink blush in Seiya's cheeks. Yaten blinked.

"Is something wrong, Lady Caine? You look flushed…" Seiya slowly lifted her eyes from the view she had of Yaten's breasts, and peered into Yaten's eyes. She grinned.

"I'm quite all right. Now get off me." Yaten lifted an eyebrow as Seiya propped herself on her elbows, and leaned forward so her lips skimmed Yaten's ear as she whispered. "Before I do something you probably don't want to do. At least now." Yaten scowled and got off Seiya.

"Pervert." Dragon Tears chuckled, got up, and left them alone. He thought he truly lived wth an idiot.

-------------------

"Where are we going?"

"I just have to… check on someone." Seiya has clinging to Yaten's hand with her own, and rounded the corner. Seiya looked around. "Where'd that bastard go? He couldn't have gone too far…" Yaten looked up at Seiya and blinked. Seiya didn't pay any regard to Yaten, just skimmed the area with her eyes. Yaten felt an uneasy feeling when she saw the right corner of Seiya's lips quark up into a smirk. "There he is…" Seiya still held Yaten's hand with one of her own, but lifted her other hand and pointed.

Yaten shifted her eyes from Seiya's face to the wall of a building. The breath hitched in her throat. "What happpend…"

"PMA happened." Yaten stared at the boy that was laying on the ground, whimpering, and blood dripping out of his mouth, sweaty skin, eyes closed, and deathly pale. Yaten skimmed her eyes over the boy, finding that almost every cut or slash on his body was bleeding. "It's eating away at him…" Yaten gagged and buried her face into Seiya's trench coat sleeve.

"That's disgusting…"

"It's his own fault." Seiya wrapped an arm around Yaten, and lead her away from one of the most gruesome sight a teenager could witness. Yaten practically purred as Seiya gently ran her fingertips over the pale, soft skin of Yaten's stomach. Seiya peered over her shoulder and smirked coldly one more time. "Rest in peace, H." Seiya laughed. "Die in your coma."

Icy Blade's Learning Corner. You know the deal, class. Stop drop and roll!
…Or not…

1.) Tremoring, talking to yourself. Yummy heroin withdrawal.

2.) Opiates/Opioids screws with the stem of your brain, blocking pain messages.

3.) PMA, or paramethoxymethamphetamine, kills. Literally. It's disguised as MDMA/ecstasy often. Meaning, round white pill with some sort of imprint on it. (Example: Playboy bunnies, smileys, and Mitsubishi logos…) The most recent death of PMA was on Mother Day back in May. Usually when taken you relapse into a coma within 30 minutes. It practically eats away at your internal organs, and basically you suffer for a day. If you're lucky, the pain'll be short and you'll die the day you took it. The process of making PMA is very much like the process of making MDMA. Except for the fact that chemical precursors are extremely different. It's like trying to make sugar cookies, but coming out with chocolate chip cookies instead.

4.) H is a slang for heroin.

5.) Methamphetamine is a nervous system stimulant. Like cocaine, but not. CSA Schedule II type drug that screws with our brain real bad and screws up memory and coordination. The street version of methamphetamine is usually produced in 'Meth Labs'. It is also known as 'speed' or 'crystal' when it is swallowed or sniffed; as 'crank' when it is injected; and as 'ice' when it is smoked. I'm sure everybody Side effects of methamphetamine use include irritability, nervousness, insomnia, nausea, hot flashes, dryness of the mouth, sweating, palpitations, and hypertension. Excessive doses can produce mental confusion, severe anxiety, and paranoia. Continued to chronic use may lead to physical dependence and even death.

6.) 'Heroina' is another slang for heroin. And another drug pal. Obviously. But if I recall correctly, it's slightly chemically different then actual heroin.

7.) KouKou. I'm sorry. It's just so cute. Hiroko is only like, 5. So, it seemed to fit her role.

8.) Why a lollipop? Because when a druggy wants the drug, but they don't have or can't have the drug, but they want it anyway, they start getting nervous. Mostly out of withdrawal paranoia. So they shake, act really hyper, or chew on their nails, lips, or inner cheek. So they suck on pacifiers or lollipops to keep them from biting themselves. Lollipops and pacifiers are used at raves from the ecstasy and their excitement mixed together.

9.) Queenie. If you remember from ch. 6, Dragon Tears said, "Victim of the Queen?" thus, resulting to the nickname 'Queenie'.
