Chapter 26: Filling that space.
At lunch time on the first day, Lan headed to see what they had to eat.
' I hope they have curry!'
As he plopped down with a full tray of curry, he saw some guy in the corner jittering.
Lan walked over, and the man turned around. " Leave me alone man..." He said.
" Hey, I just wanna help you..."
" LEAVE ME ALONE!" He punched Lan, and he went sprawling backwards.
" Son of A BITCH!" Lan said, getting increasingly louder. He punched the guy, and he guarded.
The fight continued like this for a while, before Lan landed a punch in the guys gut.
Lan, panting, walked off, limping only a little.
-----A few days later-----
Lan was already starting to crack. Whatever this place was doing was working. He wanted just a little bit... He needed it...
'" N---no, I-III-----II-II-IIII... I d--ddd-d----ddon't n--nn-----nnnnneed it...'
" I don't need it..." He muttered again, untensing a bit. Muttering that phrase over and over, he fell asleep.
----- At the end of the week-----
" Well, Lan has been showing slight signs of insanity..." The Rehab Counselor said.
Mr. Hikari remembered last time Lan went insane, and shuddered.
" It may be the time away..."
' Yeah, the drugs, and Maylu...' Lan thought.
" If he decides to go back to the drugs, he'll need to come back for a longer, maybe even years..."
They all nodded, and the counselor left.
Lan immediatly embraced Maylu, causing her to lose her balance and fall over.
Mr. and Mrs. Hikari chuckled, and they both began laughing as well.
----- The next Day-----
" God, I need something to fill all the extra time I have now..." Lan said, laying on his bed.
" Maybe you could join band?" Megaman suggested.
" Yeah, that sound all right!"
-----Before first period-----
Lan headed to the office to see if there were any opening in band.
Luckily for him, there was one left!
He immediatly signed up, and headed to his first period class.
----- After School -----
Lan and Maylu were walking home together,talkiong of recent events, when Lan stopped, and grabbed his hand.
" Agh!" He cried in pain.
Maylu was about to check on him, when her own hand began to hurt.
She clutched it, and looked to see Jasmine coming towards them with Jacob right behind.
" Lan, Maylu, do you--"
" Yeah..." Lan said. " It's Duo..."
" Ho---How?" Maylu asked.
" I don't know, all I do know is..." Lan paused. " Duo's comet is making a return!
