Battle high: not your average high school

After Battle thirty-six

Artemis confesses

"True."

Prism realized something that she should've awhile ago. "Ohh shit.. I didn't put that together.. maybe we should go find them..," she said more to herself than to Alex, looking around and wondering which direction she'd left from.

"Well let's get going before there's some real bloodshed..I take it something went wrong for awhile?," asked Alex. Prism nodded as she remembered where she came from and started to hurry off in that direction. "She started fake crying to annoy him and these guys came up and hassled him for making her cry.. it was really stupid. But when I left she had his knife.. and that probably didn't lead to anything good," she explained.

"Well what the hell caused him to try the crying trick on Cloud? I wonder how bored Harmony was exactly at the moment she tried that to him," asked Alex. He could only imagine the random stuff that ran through that head of Harmony's with all the smarts she had.

"Eh it's just cause they like each other," Prism said with a shrug. "At least that's what I think. And normally if it involves Cloud, I'm right," she told him, pulling him sharply to the right when she found a street name familiar. Alex almost fell over when she pulled him sharply around the corner down a street.

"I'm not a cat you know!," he said when he tripped. Prism laughed at him and smiled apologetically. "Then follow me more effectively. I got a twin to save."

"Why must we go save him? Isn't he able to save his own ass from a dangerous Harmony that will be on his ass the moment he fucks up?," asked Alex with confusion.

"Yes but I'm more worried about his emotional health than his physical health." Prism was starting to get annoyed with all of these turns she had to make. "I have a feeling he's going to fuck something up between the two of them."

"Since when do his emotions have anything to do with this?," wondered Alex more to himself then her.

"Heh. My train of thought has no conductor, sorry," Prism said, realizing she was thoroughly confusing him. Cloud hadn't told anyone. Duh.

She stopped when she spotted someone sitting against a tree. "Is that him over there?"

"Hell if I know, let's go check anyways," said Alex as he tried to catch his breath before she pulled him along again like a rag doll. He couldn't understand any of the situation or anything for that matter, but he decided it was best to not ask. Prism looked at Alex and smirked. "Tired from running? Do you need a break little one?" she asked teasingly. Her leg was hurting from the kick she'd pulled off but she ignored the pain easily.

Alex gave her a look, "Hey...you make me run like Sora did back at the base...I never got used to that..," panted Alex as he panted for air. Alex couldn't understand why he still wasn't used to running the way Sora did.

"Awh it's okay. You stay here I'm pretty sure he's asleep anyway," Prism said, patting him on the head as she walked over to the mysterious boy.

Upon discovering that it was her brother, she promptly hit him on the head.

Cloud's eyes snapped open and he hit Prism's leg, which was all he could reach, when he saw her. "What the fuck?!"

"Did you piss her off?"

"Kinda, but I think he'll talk to me when he wakes up."

"What'd you do."

"I didn't do shit! He fucking kissed me again!"

Prism's eyes got slightly wider at the news. "Whaaaat?"

Alex sat down on the ground waiting for them to return while he tried to catch his breath for the moment. He was tired and he could already see the sun getting ready to rise now.

Harmony overheard Cloud complain and woke up slightly, "Hm?"

Cloud was halfway through another explanation when he heard Harmony and coughed to cover up the word he'd been stuck on. "Nothing. I found a Prism," he told her, hoping for her to forget that she wasn't talking to him. Harmony rubbed her eyes a bit before looking down and waving a bit. Harmony yawned and was trying to climb off her branch very carefully since she was aware of the fact of how tired she was. But her foot slipped and she ended up landing on Cloud's lap as she came crashing from the tree.

Cloud tensed up once he realized what had just happened. She couldn't have picked a more inconvenient place to fall, could she?

Prism looked at him, amused, and tilted her head to the side, silently asking 'what happened?'

Cloud shrugged, helplessly looking up at the tree for an explanation and not receiving one. He looked down at Harmony. "Uhh.. y-you alright there?"

Harmony blinked a few times to process what had just happened to herself, she was very confused at what just happened. She could have sworn she wasn't that tired to fall out of the tree, apparently she was though.

"Tree you betray me..," she said still sleepy. Cloud looked at Prism and she only laughed. His uncomfortableness was evident and she found it highly amusing. "Cloud, I think the real question is if YOU are alright."

He glared up at her and flipped her off. "Go to hell."

"Will you be there to pick me up?"

Harmony was too sleepy to even bother moving from Cloud's lap at the moment and just leaned her head on him, she gave a yawn.

"Sleepy Harmony is sleepy..," she said softly before she fell asleep on Cloud and used him like he was a comfy pillow.

"Nowaitdon't-"

But she had already fallen asleep.

Cloud sighed. "And now I can't get up."

Prism giggled. "If only he were still a guy, this would be a billion times more adorable."

"Hey, hey Prism? Yeah how about you shut the fuck up?" Cloud said with a fake smile. Harmony snuggled to Cloud like a teddy bear and stayed asleep already ignoring the fact of everyone else there.

Alex saw something like trouble and got to his feet and walked over to them. When he saw what had happened he tried to contain his laughter, "Do we need to get her off of him?...Correction do we have to?"

Prism shook her head. "No~"

"YES," Cloud said quickly.

"Don't listen to him. He knows he loves it."

"No he doesn't!"

Prism looked at him incredulously. "I can see him blushing and it's still dark out. He is enjoying this."

"He has a girlfriend."

"Hah! Like you gave a shit while you were making out with her-"

"NO I STOPPED THAT LIKE RIGHT AFTER IT HAPPENED-"

"Shut uuuup you're gonna wake her up."

"That's the idea!"

Alex looked form one to the other and shaking his head wishing they weren't trying to wake a sleepy Harmony, because if she was the original of Sora then her being woken up moments are the same.

Harmony was waking up again, she opened her eyes and had one of the iciest stares in her eyes that she may have ever had. She lifted her head a bit and then took Cloud's knife so quickly that he didn't notice she had it until after she had gotten off of him and walked away and was two blocks away.

"Wh..Where.."

"She got your-"

"FUCKING KNIFE!" Cloud growled, standing up and running after her. "HEY ASSHAT GET BACK HERE."

Prism shook her head with a smile. "Can't you just feel the love?"

Alex started to laugh his ass off after seeing what had just happened.

Harmony heard Cloud, she stopped in her tracks and turned to face him, she looked completely scary in the shadows of morning slowly creeping up. Her long hair covered her eyes but still leaving enough to see her eyes and she held the knife up and pointed it at Cloud.

"Get. The fuck. Away," she said very angrily, Harmony was in no mood to be yelled at or even messed with. Cloud glared at her, pretty goddamned tired of her stealing his shit tonight. He was also just tired in general. And still very confused on the gender swap. He pulled a spare knife out of his shoe and pointed it at her. "Give it. The fuck. Back."

"No. You want it. Fight me for it. You have been a pain in the ass for the past few hours because you and Kirai can't get along. And you need to learn to behave," Harmony growled. She was fucking pissed at him for what he had done earlier that night and was making up an excuse for it. Cloud looked at Harmony, severely tired of her being in a mood. "You do realize that for the past few hours Kirai hasn't even talked to me? Or even been near me for fucks sake? For the past few hours I've been with your sorry ass," he said, using the knife to gesture at her.

"And I'm not sure if you've realized, but you're a girl. That means a lot of your strength is gone, and you're about to fight me with a four inch blade. Are you sure that that's a wise decision?" he asked, tilting his head at her.

Harmony's flame let itself blaze on its own and she felt her anger boil to an anger she had never felt before start to rise in her. She tightened her grip on the knife. "For the past few hours?...I've had to deal with you stalking me and not realizing what anything ever meant on your own...you pushed me the fuck away and why did you even stay at my side then?! You could have left at any damn time you wanted you fucking idiot!," Harmony shouted.

"I may be a girl but that doesn't my skills are any less effective."

"Exactly!" Cloud yelled back at her. His hand dropped to his side but he still gripped the spare knife tightly, like his life depended on it.

"That means I didn't fucking want to leave! You think I DIDNT want to shove you against the wall and kiss you until you died?! Cause if you do then I know of a mental hospital that you need to visit! Instead I was trying to protect myself, cause I had no fucking idea why you of all people would even attempt to kiss me. I am so fucking sorry."

"You fucking idiot!,"Harmony screamed back to him at the top of her lungs and she had tears running down her face again, but something about them wasn't suspicious. She looked up at him angrily, "Why?! You always ask why but you never notice it yourself?! It's because I fucking like you! I was always there near you the most then any other person for a reason and you act like you're the one who doesn't care!,"she screamed.

Prism heard the screams and only smiled in the direction of the noises. She looked over her shoulder at Alex. "Told you they like each other."

"I've learned to keep my fucking emotions to myself," Cloud said angrily, quickly pushing his excitement to the side. He didn't yell, but something about the tone of his voice made it seem more powerful than if he had screamed it. "Of course it's going to look like I don't care. I prepared myself for the worst and I had already started to believe it. You really don't realize how much it fucking ripped me to pieces do you?"

Alex just laughed a lot.

Harmony shook her head angrily and let the tears fall down her face. "You fucking ass hole you let me believe you didn't give a fuck?!"

"Only because I thought you didn't either," Cloud said quietly, now realizing that there were tears burning his eyes. He mentally yelled at himself not to cry. He didn't listen. Harmony just threw the knife at him clumsily and glared at him the best she could through tears, "your such an asshole!"
