Trai: I'm a day late this time ;A; My bad. Oh well. I've had a busy...week so far.

Aaron: Uh-huh...no one really cares about your personal life.

Trai:...You're probably right, but whatever! I WOULD have updated yesterday but I'm all worried about a speech I have to give on Friday. Ugh, speeches...

Aaron: Let's move on.

Trai: R-Right. Let's!

Lea: Trai doesn't own SC or any of its characters!


Recap-

Aaron then shot his head to Ebony, ''You too, huh? I thought you liked this job.''

Ebony smirked. ''Liked this job? I've always hated it. I only pretended to like it to get on Boss' good side.''

Aaron slowly stood up, and stabbed his sword in the ground.

''So. I'm all alone again, aren't I?''

''No Aaron. You're not alone. You're never alone''

Everyone turned only to see THAT person.

W-What was she doing here!


Aaron's POV.

I-I couldn't believe this! What was Auburn Grace doing here!

I turned to Ebony, who stood there casually.

''I-I-I thought you and Auburn were the same person, like Akihito and I are!''

I watched as Ebony laughed. ''S-Same person! HA. YEAH RIGHT. I told you I just worked along side of her.''

I clenched my fist over my sword handle. I pulled it from the ground and gripped onto it. I then turned to Auburn.

''What do you want?''

''Aki-I mean Aaron, calm down. I'm here to help you''

''H-Help me? HELP ME DO WHAT?''

''HELP YOU DEFEAT THESE GUYS''

I stared at her for the longest time. Defeat them? Why would I want to do that? I know we were enemies...but these guys have been nice to me. That's why I hated lying to them.

''No''

Everyone stared at me. And as I felt their eyes on me, I broked my charanari and dropped down to one knee.

''W-What did you just say?'' Auburn asked.

''YOU HEARD ME. I will not fight these guys! I may have lied to all of them, and we may be enemies, BUT I DON'T CARE! They're the only ones who have ever treated me like I...I belonged''

I watched as Auburn came over to me and punched me in the head. I got knocked backwards, and I placed my arm over my head. I...guess I deserved that.

''Belonged! HA! You never belonged, Aaron Grace! You're an outcast! YOU'RE A STAR''

I smirked. Star? What kind of star am I? Most of the singing I do...isn't even my real voice. They auto-tune me so much. Even at the concerts I do.

''I don't care. Listen, Ebony, Auburn. Tell Boss I'm done. Tell him I'm going to go my own way from here''

I turned to my charas who stared at me. ''What now Aaron?''

''I want to visit my parents for a little while...''

I then felt a hand on my shoulder, and I turned around. There stood Amu. She had tears in her eyes. ''Y-You're leaving us?''

I slowly nodded.

''Calm down. I'll be back...sometime.''

She turned away and I watched as she wiped her tears. ''I knew you didn't betray us, Aaron. I-I knew it...''

I placed my hands on her shoulders. ''Y-Yeah. Well, guys. If I'm gonna make this happen then I better go catch a flight. I'll...see you sometime''

I waved to them and watched them all stared at me.

And then I ran off...


Ebony's POV.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing! Our STAR has just ran off, by himself, to go visit his parents! WHAT THE HELL?

''When you return Aaron Grace...I WILL get my revenge on you'' I growled to myself, before walking back inside the building. Aaron would pay for leaving us like this. And I knew just how...

I slipped inside Boss' office and waited for him to say something.

''Aaron left, did he?''

I nodded.

''He'll be back. And when he does...I want you and Auburn to, err, take care of him''

I smirked.

''Can do Boss, can do!''

I bowed and left.

Aaron Grace. A traitor. And someone who I can't WAIT to see again.


Amu's POV.

All of us Guardians, plus Kotaro, stared off at the place Aaron ran off too. Leaving us for his parents? I couldn't believe it.

He said he'd be back, and I'm really hoping...that's soon.

Yes, soon would be nice.

''Let's go, Amu.''

I looked up at Ikuto, who was waiting for me to grab his hand. I did just that. I looked at Tadase, who was staring off into the distance. I looked at everyone else. Today...was a terrible day.

Yes, yes it was.

''Guys. We all have to believe in Aaron.''

Everyone looked at me.

''Yeah!''

''I do agree with that, Hinamori''

''Aaron was never our enemy! He was our friend!''

''And he was my brother!''

''Guys. If and when Aaron gets back, let's take him back under our wing!''

Everyone laughed but agreed.

Yes. This was good.

Before I walked off with Ikuto, I looked off to where our old friend ran off too.

''Aaron, I'll be waiting for the day for you to come back''

And then all of us left...


Trai: ...NOT MY BEST WORK, but whatever. I was cold and hungry and tired and...had writers' block. DX

Aaron: Wow, just wow.

Trai: I don't even have enough energy to finish this part. So...

Lea: R&R guys! Next chapter should be up soon!

Trai: THANKS FOR READING THIS REALLY CRAPPY CHAPTER!
