The Bane of Neku

Chapter 3

Part 7: Betrayal

The girl sitting in front of the three friends was small but cute. Long brunette hair a small shirt that had a wing of a bird on one side and a arm with a dagger going out the over side, with a pair of small jeans. She didn't look like she was from around there.

Neku Beat and Shiki stared at the little girl with a curious look. Beat with a particular sadden out look. Neku and Shiki looked over to beat to make sure he was alright she just asked about his sister.

"…ya she was my sister, how do you know her" The girl was too young to be in her grade or even the same school back in middle school.

"She's been coming over to my house the last couple of weeks, she was really nice" 'was'… that was the key word there made it all the more real that she was gone. "We played jacks, she was good but I think she let me win"

"When was she over at your house the last couple weeks she was either with us or that Rhys kid" Beat said thinking that the kid was set up by any of the people he had made enemies with

The girl looked to the side and sat down with a milk box with a straw in hand "He was my brother" she sipped into the straw the tension around the four as thick as old milk

'Wait Rhyme was with Rhys… in his house…alone… NO Beat not the time' even he could tell this wasn't the moment to bring that up "Yah that sounds like Rhyme; but why are you here? Why not talk to your parents about Rhys?"

She just sipped a little more before speaking "They weren't really on the best terms since we moved here, their a worse wreck then I am" She looked to the side but then leaned in close and started to whisper "Plus I think he's alright… somehow"

The three elder teens looked at each other; they knew that, for the time being Rhyme and Rhys was actually alright. The problem was that they weren't allowed to tell anyone, one of Joshua's rules since we succeeded at beating the game.

"What is it?" She asked kind of out of the loop going back to sipping her milk tilting her head to the left

Shiki tried to think of something "Well… um…OH- do you like Ramen?"

Many of the people who had formed Rhys's battle line were now disbanding attempting to find their partners in the city. Some of Rhy's 'lieutenants' had said goodbye eventually only Bane, Eri, Rhys, and Rhyme were outside 104. Justin and Amu had remained since Eri and Justin had hit it off. Tired of their chatter Amu decided to talk to Bane.

"So you must be Bane, the one who saved our asses" Amu said off the cuff .

Bane was in more or less in a fowl mood and as much he wanted to beat his reputation he really couldn't help that his response was a combination of anger annoyance and almost murderous rage "Yes I suppose I am".

Amu was almost scarred off by the tone of the statement but noticed he was staring at the now laughing Eri and Justin. "Ah I see, you like her don't ya?" she said a smile on his face.

Bane stared at her in anger for a moment causing her to flinch but his opened eyes soon half way closed calming himself "I don't know, it's just complicated, I think I'm stuck in the friend category; whatever that means" he shook his head breathed in a hard sigh. "Sorry, go talk to those two" he said motioning toward Rhys and Rhyme who were talking to each other about something "I'm just pissed right now; I'd like to meet you later though" he used his hands to rub his eyes still tired from the perpetual headache which could be the start of a migraine.

Amu looked at him with a pitying look on her face for the conquering hero. She tried to think of something to say to help him out. Then she did think of something, she leaned down next to him and gave him a kiss on his cheek.

His face became flushed as he looked at her with a surprised embarrassed look on his face. "W-why did you do that?"

"It was a thank you for saving all of us" She said with a innocent smile "I'll get Justin out of there, and don't worry if she's worth what you think she's worth she'll come around" She walked off toward Eri and Justin

-Over By Rhys and Rhyme-

"Rhys why is she with him?" Rhyme said confused. Before convinced that Bane and Eri were together, or if not was on the way to it.

"I… just don't know. That pretty boy just swept her off her feet" he just shook his head

"Shame they would have a good couple" She said letting out a sigh. She looked over to Rhys what happened to him during the battle? He turned into a different person. Then she looked over to Bane who was being kissed by Amu which caused herself to blush 'Oh this situation is problematic'

-Over By Eri and Justin-

"Your so hot baby" Justin said with a smooth voice holding her in his arms

"Thanks Justin" She giggled lightly not believing that she was with Justin'He's soooo cute and so well dressed, just like prince!' she mentally squealed in happiness as she looked over to Rhys and Rhyme, uninteresting, they were talking about something but she couldn't hear them so it didn't really matter. Then she looked over at Bane and… Amu right? Bane looked like he was pissed about something, maybe Amu set him off. Then he seemed to soften as she spoke. He must really not like her he tried to pawn her off on Rhys and Rhyme. Then… 'she kissed him. well surly he's insulted… no he's just surprised' she felt something inside her almost eating away at her. Guilt? No this was different. Anger? Perhaps but still it was something more. Amu started toward them and Eri forced a smile

"Come on we should scope out a store or two before the next day starts" Amu said two the two people almost molded into one.

Acting disappointed he slowly moved away from Eri "She's right, see you soon Eri?"

Blushing she brushed hair out of her face "Ya sounds great Justin" They started off toward the Shibuya main store leaving Eri to look at Justin fawning. Then she started towards Bane with a happy look on her face

With every step towards him it felt like something was hallowing out his heart "Hey" He said trying to put up a good front.

Eri didn't seem to notice looking to the side in bliss thinking about Justin "Oh Bane isn't he great?"

Bane just put up his hood and walked angrily past her a scowl on his face "Yeah. Sure. Great" he said icily as he stormed past her.

She felt the harsh blow from his words 'What's wrong with him? He couldn't be mad about Justin? No… Bane doesn't think of me that way…' she shook her head out of it and followed with him over to Rhys and Rhyme "Hey guys! Looks like we made it!"

Rhyme awkwardly rubbed her sleeve with her other sleeve "Ya I guess so" She shrugged not really proud about what Eri was doing to Bane

Everything started to fade to black quickly

Rhys spoke up "TRY TO MEET US AT-"
