You Get Me

Chapter 8

"Hey Yue, did you take our wedding photo from our room?" Kina questioned the white haired bishonen as he readied for work.

"No why?" He answered.

"That's weird, I can't find it anywhere. Maybe Nuri or Hori has it, I'll check later." She blushed, watching him straighten his tie.

"Are you sure you're fine home by yourself?" He turned with a worried expression on his face.

"YES for the last time! Zion is going to stop by after school too! Shiva will be back after she gets the groceries!" Kina urged him to leave, "Now get to work! Love you!" They kissed and he soon left.

"So how are you feeling?" Zion glanced around the room. Kina was snuggled up in her bed, beaming a giant smile.

"Great! I'll be returning to school tomorrow. It was just, um, the 24-hour flu!" She replied. "If you don't mind me prying, can you fill me in a bit more on this long lost love of yours?"

"Jeez, you make it sound so dramatic!" Zion sat herself down on a chair near Kina's bed, "Well, we where childhood friends. We grew up together and gradually I realized that I was in love with him. Finally one day I told him how I felt, except he said he was just good friends with me, not in love and he didn't think I had what it takes to marry a bishonen and to be able to put up with the taunts of other people. He didn't think I could do it and he said I was just having some kind of childish fantasy. Ever since then, we haven't spoken to each other at all." She stared at the floor, a look of desolation in her eyes.

"Where is he now?" Kina tilted her head in interest.

"He lives in town but on the opposite end." The blue haired girl replied, her voice sounding broken.

"I'm going to get you two together!" Kina perked up.

"NO!" Zion jumped up from her seat, eyes wide with shock at Kina.

"If I can do it, you can do it too." Kina gave her friend an encouraging look. "You still love him, don't you?" She quietly whispered.

"Y-yes..." Zion blushed, finding the floor interesting again.

"Then let's do it! Together!" Kina got up and hugged her friend.

"I'm not sure, he probably loves somebody else." Zion protested.

"Come on, give it a try! Have faith! You never know what might happen. Just give it a shot and if it doesn't work then I'll never bug you about it again. Promise." Kina gave Zion a look of hope.

"O-ok!" Zion replied, her body trembling as she fought tears. "I can't believe we're going to do this! It's crazy!" She said.

"That's me!" The red head laughed. "Want me to get us some drinks? Then we can plan out what to do and so on."

"Sure." She replied. "So maybe dreams can come true..." Zion thought to herself.

A few hours later, a few bags of cookies later and a few sodas's later.

"AND THEN he said, "You're just a friend!" I mean COME ON! A friend!? We've known each other for like EVER! And he feels nothing for me? NOTHING!? Jeez, talk about pathetic!!" Zion sniffed.

"I KNOW! What a DORK! And what's up with that Max guy?! He's starting to creep me OUT!! But I love my Yue. Last week he tried to make a move one m!!!!!" Kina burst into laughter.

"I wish I had someone who loved me!!!!!"

"You can lean on my shoulder!" Shiva smiled at the two. She had gotten home and decided to join in the party.

"LOVE AND PEACE!" The three put a peace sign up in the air with their fingers.

"Want to know something weird Kina?" Zion turned to the red head.

"Sure!"

"Max was the one who started the rumors! Weird, huh? I thought he was your friend." Zion finished.

A look of shock overcame Kina's face. Why would Max do something like that? It just didn't make sense but then again, he had been acting really weird lately, but her thoughts where interrupted as Nuriko walked into the room, just getting home along with Yue and Hotohori.

"How many sodas have you drank?" Yue glared at the three laughing girls. "Looks like things are back to normal." He chuckled.

"I don't know!! ABOUT 20 MAYBE! EACH! OOOOOO!!" Kina leapt into Yue's arms.

"Silly. Zion should go home now." Yue laughed at the three.

"Bye Zion!!" Kina waved as Nuriko got into the car with Zion, ready to take her home. They didn't trust her going home because of the amount of sugar she had consumed.

"TABLE IS LONELYYYYY!" Kina knocked into Hotohori then pointed at Table. "I covered him in whip cream so they can become FRIENDS!!!!!"

Hotohori's eyes widened in disbelief as he went sprinting into the kitchen. A shrill screamed erupted from his throat as he stared at his white table. He then ran for the sink to get a wash cloth, "DON'T WORRY TABLE! I'LL SAVE YOU!!!!!"

Kina burst into laughter again. "Poor Table."

"I don't think all that sugar is good for the baby." Yue looked at Kina with concern.

Kina stopped laughing, "Oh no! I'm a horrible mother already!!!" She burst into tears.

"NO! No You aren't!!" Yue ran to Kina and supported her up, "Why don't you go lay down." He led her to their room.

Hotohori had sweat beaded across his forehead as he scrubbed away at Table, muttering, "I'm afraid to be around when she starts having mood swings."

"Don't remind me." Yue rolled his eyes as he entered the kitchen and proceeded to help Hotohori clean table.

Nuriko walked into the room, his face pale.

"You ok?" Yue asked.

"That...girl...is...crazy!" Nuriko fell over and began to twitch.

Darkness engulfed Max except for a single candle that lit up the area around him. There, in the center was the wedding picture of Kina and Yue. Laughing, he cut out Yue's face and inserted a picture of himself in its place. "There, all better. THAT'S how it should be!!!!! And soon, soon, it will!" He said to himself with a twisted grin on his face.

"KINA!" Shiva shoved her friend awake, "Arashi called, there's been an emergency at the Dojo and she needs me immediately! I have to go, I'll be gone for a few weeks or something, I don't know! But I'll be back to help around the house in a few months, I promise! It was fun!" Shiva embraced her friend.

"Thank you for everything! See you again soon, be safe!" Kina waved to her friend as she got into a taxi.

"Bye!!" Shiva waved and soon the yellow car disappeared around the corner.

Kina let her hand limply fall to her side as she sighed, her friend was gone for now. A hand rested on her shoulder. "She'll be back soon." A gentle voice said to her.

"I know, I'll just miss her." Kina turned to face Yue, smiling.

"Aren't you suppose to be in school?" He asked her.

"CRAP!!!" Kina sprinted into the house, grabbing her books and changed her pajamas for some suitable clothing. "BYE!" She ran out the door, giving Yue a quick kiss.

The white haired bishonen laughed, "Bye little angel!"

Kina approached the school, gasping from the long run she had made. Her hair flew in the wind as she stepped onto the campus, the hallways empty. Everybody was in class. Where she should be too. Quiet footfalls could be heard behind Kina. She spun around to come face to face with Max. He reached out with a dirty hand and shoved her roughly into a nearby wall. Kina winced in pain and shock as she tumbled against the wall, Max walking closer to her. With his other hand, he knocked her books out of her hand.

"Don't do this again!!" He hoarsely whispered to her.

"What are you talking about Max?! Stop that, it hurts!!" She breathed heavily as he grabbed her wrist and slowly began to twist it.

"Don't betray me again!! DON'T BETRAY ME AGAIN! NOT LIKE LAST TIME! I WON'T LET YOU!!!! I WON'T!!!!!!!!" He screamed at her, but not loud enough to draw attention to any stranglers coming to class late.

"LET GO OF ME!!" Kina screamed as she wrenched herself away from him and went running. Around the corner, she ran into the girl's bathroom where she fell against the wall, panting for breath. "Why is he doing this...?" She thought to herself.
