Hikari POV

I snapped. He said what now? He went to have lunch with his friends? I highly doubt that crap.

"Well, if that's true, why did it take you all day, and why were you so tired when you came home?" I demand, thrusting my crutch closer to his cheek.

"I, um, ah…" He starts, but I cut him off.

"Who exactly are these friends of yours?" He shutters at my fiery voice.

"You, um, wouldn't know them…" he utters.

"What are their names?" I roar, shoving the crutch into his cheek, making his face flush of its color.

"I can't tell you…" Aki chokes out, "you wouldn't know them, anyway." This answer does not suit me.

"What are their names, Aki?"

"I can't tell you because I didn't eat lunch with my friends! Are you happy now?" He yells, his face turning red.

"Well, then, now we're going somewhere!" I exclaim, "Then where were you and why?"

He looked kindly into my eyes. Oh, those orange-red eyes. I put my crutch back down.

"I was at, ah, here…"he whispers, so faintly I could barely hear what he was saying.

"Say it louder! Where were you?" I boom, startling Aki.

"I WAS HERE, DRINKING!" He yells back. This answer took me by surprise. Since when did Aki drink?

"Drinking what?" I wonder aloud.

"Beer…" he admits, getting nervous, "Remember last year, when I was sick for 2 days?" I did, how could I not? "I was hung-over." Wow, that explains a lot. Aki was a drunk, idiotic, untrustworthy, stupid turd muffin. God, how I hate that good-for-nothing Aki!

"You are in major trouble, Aki!" I raise my voice and my crutch goes back up to his face.

"Please, Hikari, not now! Just let me sleep!" He begs. Wow, that's a new low for Aki.

I look around the bedroom and Aki raises an eyebrow. I open the closest door and walk out of it, leaving Aki in bed. I went down the hard wooden stairs on my butt (due to the wound), and find the kitchen. Aki was watching from the banister as I open every drawer and cabinet. Suddenly I find the jackpot- a large collection of beer bottles and cans.

"Not my secret stash!"Aki cries, too hazed to walk down the stairs, so down he fell, bleeding on his hands, forehead, and left leg. Aki is a mess.

I ignore him and open a beer box and find 16 cans of it. I open one after another, pouring the drink down the drain. Aki cries and makes these wheezing sounds on the floor, lying on his own blood puddle.

"Aki! Suck it up! Look at you! You're a wreck!" I say with sympathy to the weeping boy. He stops crying, though his face is blood-red. I can't believe this is the same cocky, up-beat, funny, Aki. He has changed so much lately—since when has he been this way?

"Are you a man or a mouse?" I continue, crouching down beside him. He sits up and wipes the blood off of his face.

"I don't really know what I am at this point," Aki replies. He is truly pitiful. I help him stand up and get to the couch. I put wet cloth on his cuts and I leave out the front door. It is like 4 a.m. It's a good thing tomorrow we don't have school, it has been a long night. I'm feeling cruddy, but not as much as Aki.

I go home and fall quickly asleep on the bed. I'll go check on him tomorrow. I promised I'd get him that hundred.

*** Okay, that's the chapter. Sorry it is a little late because the login for wasn't working. Also, apparently, chapter 6 somehow got in instead of the real chapter 11, so I am combining the two chapters. Who knew Aki had a secret addiction? Review responses:

ObsidianVioletNightRain- Well, even if Aki was cheating on Hikari, it wouldn't be called an affair, because Aki and Hikari aren't married. It would just be cheating.

Now for part two (what was meant to be chapter 12, but I combined them.)

Pre-word: sorry for not updating all week, but I'm writing a somewhat Bleach-Soul eater cross over which will launch soon, that is one of my many reasons. Okay, I don't own soul eater (or Bleach), and blah, blah, blah.

Hikari POV

Aki is such an idiot. School is tomorrow, and Valentine's Day is the next day. I'm on my baby blue moped, crutches strapped to my back, and driving with my one good foot, something my mother completely detested about.

Speaking of mom, she has been recovering, having Ai take care of her. I haven't seen her for like a week. I'm such a bad daughter- aren't I?

Aki's house is dark, but I know he's in there. I walk on my crutches up to the front door. It's locked but I know where the spare key is. I lift up a rock near a dying bush that has the words painted on it 'Welcome To My Garden!' and a ceramic frog glued on top of it to find the key.

When I enter the house, I hear heavy metal music coming from upstairs. I can't go up stairs, so I just yell my lungs out, "Get down here, Aki! Stop listening to that heavy metal!"

"It's not heavy metal, it is hard rock!" a voice yells, "and you certainly can't make me!"

I can't wait until I can get close enough to him without him noticing so that I could strangle the living daylights out of that boy. Sorry, even I have dark thoughts….

I sigh and plop down onto the sofa. The T.V. remote is on the marble coffee table, so I reach over to get it.

In mid-reach, Aki calls to me from the top of the stair banister. "What are you doing in my house? And why do you have to run around in those pointless crutches all day? It's been like two weeks! The wounds should be healed already, right? Don't they have like a special potion or something to heal it faster?"

I know, I know… I was supposed to have had the bandages off last Thursday, but my mom convinced the doctor it wasn't healed yet. I feel fine, and I can walk without limping without any crutches. The doctors did use this healing remedy, so it should be fine now. I'm officially getting free of this get up two days from now, AKA the day of Love.

"Soul Resonance, dear. I promised-remember?" I say, basking and stretching to the length of the couch.

"I don't give a crap about it, I told you that already!"

I grab Aki's outstretched arm and order, "Do it, now!" He knows I'm serious.

"Fine," he mumbles, transforming in a flash into a red-black bladed axe. I hold his arm- now handle, and take him to the backyard without my crutches.

I slice him back and forth, cutting down some tall weeds in his 'garden'.

"Stop fooling around, Hikari!" Aki booms. I stop in my tracks and process this for a second.

"ME? STOP FOOLING AROUND! You're the one that should stop fooling around. Don't you care about me? You aren't just ruining your life, you're ruining mine!" I protest, starting to yell. I realize that the beer remark was a little too deep.

I drop Aki in the grass and run to my moped, picking up my crutches on the way there. Aki transforms and runs after me. I start the engine and let Aki eat my dust.

Hot tears run down my cheeks as I get on the apartment elevator. Why was Aki so mean? Why was I so mean? I was nice to him earlier, wasn't I? I mean, in a way, right? These thoughts float in my head. What is wrong with me? I have to protect and preserve my only weapon, so didn't I do a good thing earlier, but not just now? I unlock the apartment door.

I lay down on my bed, burrowing into the blankets and pillows. I don't want to move from this spot.

"Hikari! Get the heck up! And I thought I was the lazy one!" an out-of-breath voice remarked. It was Aki, at the door, looking in the peephole. It's a good thing the doors are locked.

"I know you are in there! That's true, what you said. I'm sorry. I really am…" Aki continues. I tune him out.

After thirty minutes of begging, the boy leaves, and I get peace and quiet. I am such an idiot for letting him down like that. Ugg!

Thanks so much for reading this, and so sorry for that mistake of chapters, but enjoy! Reviews, continued:

Akira Hidaka- that's okay (about the computer), and I did see Aki from SID. He has a cool guitar-that's all I'm gonna say.

I need more reviews, guys! I'm going to try updating twice a week (this 'chapter 11' counts as two chapters) and make them pretty lengthy.

I am going to recommend some stories now:

Spectre Hunter- by SamIAmNot- it is about Maka and Soul's son having to pair up with Death the Kid and someone's daughter, but contains some curse words here and there.

Transferring to the Wizard World- by LuckyLover12- If you enjoy Harry Potter and Soul Eater, Death the Kid apparently had a witch mother, and gets accepted into Hogwarts.

Blind Bella- by MissCoppersMom- if you enjoy Twilight, this is the 1st book in which Bella is blind, haven't seen any cursing.

Sweet Sixteen- by xHeyItsMex- Renesmee's finally 16, for the Twilight Fans, this is a good continuation of the series from New Moon.

The Last Girl- by Ialanpoe- Paul (the werewolf) imprints on Bella, for the Twilight Fans, curse words are used quite a bit.

Banished- by Rdyest- hilarious fanfic of Sesame Street, Elmo and Big Bird go on a killing spree.

Truth or Dare-by Rdyest- funny, it's about asking your favorite Bleach characters to do stupid things- such as making Ishida strut around in heels and making Renji dress in a bumble bee costume and buzz around hugging people at random for the entire chapter and giving them pamphlets for the honey festival.

That's about it, see ya!
