Chapter 10
Two weeks later
Gray- "Damn, why did you just stop working, I just wound you!" Said Gray to himself as he looked down at his pocket watch. "Of course it wouldn't work." said Gray as he slipped it back into his pocket.
Claire-"its so weird without Nae. Ill actually admit i miss him... a lot.."Claire sank to the ground and started crying.
Gray- "I said I was sorry..." said Gray putting on a depressed look. "He was going to kill me...it was me or him and I couldn't die again...what should I have done...WHAT COULD I HAVE DONE!" Cried Gray
Claire-"I know you had no choice. Its just im still sad- wait died...again?"
Gray- "I never told you guys this...but i have been killed once before..."
Nae- "Feels like sunshine don't it." Nae said from behind the pair of them.
Gray- Gray suddenly burst into tears and turned around, shaking as he mumbled "Na-...Nae?"
Nae- "No, it's the ghost of christmas dumbass."
Gray- "I-i'm so sorry...I can't even speak..." said Gray as he burst out into a deep cry as he fell to the ground.
Claire-"Oh my god youre back!" Claire started sobbing as she threw her arms around Nae.
Nae- "Woah there lover girl save it for Kaede." Nae said but hugged her back anyway with a soft smile.
Gray- Gray stood up and laughed a little as he said "You made me go through a lot of trouble you know Nae. I had to move my date because of you"
Nae- "I called in sick, plus I had Sakura come over and be my personal nurse." Nae said with a wink.
Gray- "I got to that base long before you, Nae." smirked Gray.
Nae- "Then it's a good thing I didn't try anything, all she did was take care of me. You know how hard it is to put yourself back together DNA strand by DNA strand? Luckily when I finally had fingers, I called her up and she came over. That's all.
Claire-"Uhhhhhhh."
Gray- "You love this trolling stuff don't you...anyways sorry, I didn't mean to kill you...or something like that." said Gray now smiling.
Nae- "You did kill me. The only thing that brought me back was god. See that one move is one of the now 3 things that can actually kill me." Nae said wincing at the memory of the searing agony.
Gray- "And I can only get stronger" said Gray "But really I am sorry for what happened. At least we know I am strong enough to beat you with two Shinjun: Universe Destroyers." said Gray, looking on the bright side as usual.
Nae- "Nope. Not anymore. See my body is like a machine, it gets broken, it puts itself back together so it can't be broken that way again." Nae said with a smirk. "Better get a new technique."
Gray- "Well then it is time to tell you about my darkest secret. three words. Shinjun: God Slayer. A move that takes almost all of my life energy and would most likely kill me if I used it...hell I have already went down that road once...but never mind about that I would never use the move on you, Nae!" said Gray as the three walked to their lockers.
Nae- "Good to know, I didn't like dying" Nae said getting his science books from his locker.
Gray- "Yeah, I know how you feel..." said Gray as he got his books and started walking.
Claire-"how do you resurrect after you die?"
Gray- "I don't know. I died by being stabbed to death in a fight then I woke up in my apartment like it was a dream... I don't remember anyone reviving me but I am alive now so I dunno." said Grey.
Claire-"thats so weird..."
Nae- "That's how it happens for most people, and yes, including me." Nae said taking his seat at the back of Stein's room next to the window.
Gray- "Well guess it is time for class" Gray said as he sat down for class.
Fyre- "Hey guys I'm baaaack," Fyre said floating into the classroom.
Gray- "Hello, and who might this girl be?" said Gray raising an eyebrow to the floating Fyre.
Fyre- "hmm?" fyre said looking down at gray." well this is new, I'm Fyre" she said coming down closer."who are you?"
Nae- Nae put an arm around Gray. "My boyfriend. Dibs."
Gray- "Never." said Gray as he got very serious for a second. "Also you, floater girl...I AM THE GREAT AND POWERFUL LEADER OF THE BLOOD BLOSSOMS, MOST POWERFUL KID IN SCHOOL, GRAY SHIZUKU! NEVER FORGET MY NAME!" yelled out Gray as he shot out of his chair and continued to laugh maniacally.
Claire-"and i ask you yet again..Narcissist much?"
Nae- "Easy there Iki." Nae said smiling at the reference.
Fyre- Fyre lifted up his chin with her fingertip. "Interesting..." she smiled. "for future reference my name isn't 'floater girl'" she said flicking a fireball at Gray.
Nae- "Horny much?" Nae said using it to light his cigarette and swatting it away.
Gray- "Shit! How can I dodge fireballs and gloat at the same time?" said Gray back to his normal "Shonen-Like" attitude. "Anyways, Gray Shizuku, nice to meet you!" said Gray as he sat back down.
Nae- "Don't complement it," Nae said eyeing Fyre "it follows you home if you do."
Fyre- "More like you follow it home" fyre said smirking as fire swirled around her fingertips.
Gray- "Tengen 4" said Gray. "Just test me...I dare you..." said Gray as he squinted his eyes.
Claire-"Hey Gray you do realize that not every girl gets an urge to blow you when you do that like Sakura did."
Fyre- *suddenly interested. "Cute" she said smiling down at gray.
Nae- "Oh look." Nae said leaning back on two legs on his chair, his feet on the dest. "it likes you." He said blowing smoke at Fyre.
Gray- "It kind of scares me...but it is intriguing." Said Gray keeping Tengen 4 on because he liked it so much.
Fyre- "it should" she smiled eviley her flames growing brighter
Claire- Claire continued her thought as though no one said anything"Though i must say you are quite hot in that form."
Fyre- "Very true" she said laughing at claire.
Gray- Gray, thinking this as they are talking "My harem will soon be complete! That is one thing off my bucket list!"
Nae- "You can't have one if you've died already." Nae said taking a long drag and blowing it at the smoke detector.
Gray- "How so?" says Gray now getting serious.
Nae- "We said I stabbed you and you were out for two weeks." Nae said still blowing smoke at the detector "We never told you that you were dead for an hour."
Gray- "What do you know of my past?" said Gray in an almost scary tone.
Nae- "Nothing. I just know you were dead for 60 minutes after I stabbed you and ran 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 volts through your body."
Gray- "Well...I have had worse. Do you know what it is like to have everything and everyone that you ever loved to be taken away from you in a second as you are bleeding out on the ground? DO YOU KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO BE KILLED INSIDE AND OUT- sorry..."
Nae- "Try having your planet with your pregnant wife and unborn child destroyed and you weep in the only escape pod." Nae said not looking at them, still fixed on the smoke detector.
Gray- Gray, now mad, stands up and screams out "I KNOW HOW IT FUCKING FEELS TO LOSE EVERYTHING BECAUSE YOU WERE TOO DAMN WEAK!"
Claire- "Try having the only people that actually matter to you suddenly hate you..."Claire muttered.
Nae- Nae, without moving, smacked gray across the face. "Shut the fuck up you little punk ass shit. The fuck do you know about me?" Nae said giving Gray an evil glare
Gray- "I don't know a single thing. All I know is that you don't know a single thing about me. It is not like I could ever understand you. I am from the gangs...you are an angel...we are very different... all I know is we both lost someone we love...I can get her back but I don't know if you can...so I am sorry..." Said Gray now crying as he held his cheek. "I can't help but cry every time I think of her...her suffering and wounds that I had caused...her name was Autumn...and she was the girl I first loved...and the one thing that reminds me why I am still alive..." said Gray now just standing there.
Nae- Nae got up, saying nothing,and hugged him. "I'm sorry."
Gray- Gray was shocked for a second until he started crying again and hugged him back and finally said "I will...I will fix everything...I don't know how but I will...save everyone...no matter what...you can count on me."
Nae- Nae smiled at the boys naivety. "You can't save everyone. I learned the hard way." Nae said pulling away and holding him at arms length
Gray- "I don't care how long it takes...but I won't let anyone be hurt anymore...you can count on me!" said Gray smiling now again.
Fyre- "Wait a second...didn't you just kill someone?" Fyre said floating upside down.
Gray- "I wasn't going to be killed! Who do you think I am, Goku?" asked Gray.
Fyre- " Well duh you weren't gonna be killed but how do you explain you killing Nae when you just said 'I'll protect everyone'."
Nae- "Well yes and no, I killed him, but then he killed me, so we're cool." Nae said flicking the cigarette butt at Fyre.
Fyre- "Ohhh so that's how it works." Fyre said as the butt disintegrated on impact.
Gray- "Now that is out of the way we can move on to something else." said Gray
Nae- "We could, but I wanna hear the rest of you guy's pathetic sob stories." Nae said lighting another one. He had been smoking more than usual lately and he didn't know why.
Claire- Claire suddenly started crying for a reason unknown to the others.
Nae- "The fu-? Ah hell no. I'm not doing any teen-drama moments about how your boyfriend left you or something." Nae said taking a long drag
Claire-"Shut the hell up Nae! What do you know anyway?" Claire yelled at him through tears.
Nae- "I know I'm a sadistic bastard who doesn't know when to stop." Nae said breathing in deeply and blowing out smoke rings.
Claire-"Go away Nae."
Nae- "Fine." Nae said getting up putting his hands in his pockets and walking out.
Gray- "What do I do in a situation like this..." said Gray as he sighed.
Nae- "You grab her boob." Nae said patting him on the back and retaking his seat, and tapping her chest.
Claire- Claire shrieked as gray tried to take off her shirt.
Nae- "Atta boy! Get some!" Nae said laughing his ass off.
Claire- "Get the hell off me!"
Gray- "AH, NAE I THOUGHT YOU SAID THAT WOULD WORK!" Yelled Gray.
Nae- "It worked for me!" Nae said laughing so hard he was crying, and he almost fell off his chair.
Claire-"Oh my god Nae get him off me!"
Nae- Nae eyed Claire without her shirt on. "Girl you got some curves you're hiding from us." Nae said as he pried off Gray with one hand.
Claire- Claire got up off the ground and glared at the 2 of them.
Nae- "Oh sorry, you were crying about?" Nae said picking her up, and helping her with her shirt.
Gray- Gray now speachless just sits there wondering what just happened.
Nae- "You can let go of me now." Nae said to her after he finally got her shirt on, yet she continued to hold him.
Claire- Claire Buried her face into Nae's chest as she continued to cry.
Nae- Nae sighed and took of his jacket, placing it on her shoulders, and held her close letting her cry.
Gray- Gray now completely stunned just sat there with a straight face and stared as Claire buried herself into Nae's shoulder, letting out all of her emotions that she has held in for so long.
Nae- "It's gonna be alright okay? I'm here for you." Nae said letting her cry.
Claire-"its good to know i have friends like you guys." Claire choked out through sobs.
Nae- Nae let her cry for a bit before holding her at arms length and saying "Now tell us what's wrong."
Claire-"I used to go to a nice school with friends who liked me and all that. i had a good life, but something happened there and and" Claire started crying harder.
Gray- "I don't really understand...but I am sorry you had to go through any pain at all...we should be the only ones who have to feel the pain of loneliness and helplessness...we should be the ones to be protecting you from all that dares to attempt to harm you...I am sorry no one was there when you needed them to be...I truly am sorry..." said Gray with a very serious tone.
Nae- Nae pulled her close and gently turned her face up to his. "Just shut up," Nae kissed her deeply "And be happy." He said pulling away.
Claire- Claire looked up at him and smiled.
Nae- "Better?" he said with a smile.
Claire-"mmhmm" she said still smiling.
Gray- "Now that all that stuff is over what do we do now?" asked Gray.
Nae- Nae shrugged and looked down at Claire "Make out?"
Claire- "hmm okay."
Gray- "I don't trust you after what just happened" said Gray now shifting his eyes.
Claire- "What you want him?" Claire said laughing.
Nae- "You don't wanna watch?" Nae said pulling her closer so their hips touched with a smirk.
Gray- "I am not into that kind of stuff...sorry, I think." said Gray.
Claire- "You sure?" Claire said to Gray though she was looking at Nae.
Gray- "Positive like you and HIV." said Gray.
Claire-" haha you're so funny."
Nae- "See something you like?" Nae said to Claire
Claire- Claire blushed as she laughed.
Nae- Nae kissed her again, more passionately. "How bout now?"
Gray- "You could always test me out, I will be your wingman any day."
Claire-"I'm good. Kaede told me you've got crabs."
Gray- "Kaede wouldn't know. Also, by the way, he likes me a lot more than you." smirked Gray.
Nae- Nae twitched. "Is that so?" He said, his face turning darkly shaded and evil.
Gray- "Can someone translate Nae for me?" asked Gray feeling a little creeped out.
Nae- "I'll kill him. I will. I'll shove his ass right back to damnation."
Gray- "Alright, well...have fun with that I guess."
Nae- Nae noticed he was still holding onto Claire and jumped a little blushing. "Ah, er, sorry about that."
Claire- claire giggled"Its alrighhhhhht"
Nae- Nae just sorta awkwardly sat down and played with his fingers.
Gray- Gray likes to tell the truth when necessary so he just blurts out "You guys are very awkward...like very awkward"
Claire- "yea we know"
Gray- "Claire I have decided that your unknowing emotions can only be helped in one way... FOR YOU TO BE A PART IF MY "ULTIMATE HAREM"! CONGRATULATIONS!" Said Gray as he stood up and yelled this out loud
Claire-"uhhhhhh" Claire just stared at him still pressed against nae.
Gray- "Claire, you should be happy after all not everyone passes the test! (Partly because of Autumn)"
Claire-"What test was this?" was he testing my boobs when he held me down? she thought quite weirded out.
Gray- "The test of life, my innocent aids infected Claire!" said Gray with a wicked smile.
Nae- Nae, who usually never did this, held Claire close and turned so he was between them. "Creep."
Gray- "But isn't that how you enjoy life, Nae?" Said Gray who currently was lying down backwards on the table looking upside down at the two.
Nae- "No, you enjoy life by meeting someone nice, settling down, and not dying sad and alone like I will." Nae said over his shoulder at Gray, still protecting Claire.
Gray- "But I have already done that you fool" said Gray now sounding wicked and evil but keeping his smile on his face.
Nae- "You died, but not sad and alone."
Gray- "It might have not been sad and alone but it was depressing and painful." said Gray keeping on his smile.
Nae- "Not the same thing, I'm gonna die in the dark dingy corner of some pub of a heart attack and no one will notice because I'm alone and pathetic." Nae said like he rehearsed it for hours. It turned out he did go over how he would Die if he truly could, for hours on end.
Gray- "You never know, you could end up like me Nae, with everything you could ever want and to have all that taken away...but please Nae, don't end up like the trash they call Gray Shizuku" said Gray.
Nae- "Er, don't plan on it, but lots of shit happens to me. It's almost like I only have bad luck."
Gray- "You know Nae, we are a lot alike...but we are just so very different from each other...we are like the best of friends who are also intense rivals who want the other one gone for good."
Claire-"Please never kill each other again"
Nae- "Can't promise. He pisses me off." Nae said with a smirk.
Gray- "Can't promise he won't attack and I will have no choice but to kill him." said Gray.
Claire-" Don't kill each other please." She said again this time with tears welling up in her eyes.
Nae- Nae turned her to face him, looking into her eyes, "No we won't do that, I promise. Okay?"
Gray- "Promises are made to be broken sometimes. Figure that puzzle out." Gray said as he got up to leave when stopped by Ex at the doorway.
Ex- "I need both Gray and Nae here right now." He said as the two walked toward him and asked him what he wanted. "I need something of you two...to die." said Ex as he cut the two down and threw the out the window and chased after them.
