Title: Worse Than Defeat

Chapter six

Rating:

Author: EclipseKlutz, duh. Who else would it be, the tooth fairy?

Warning: H/L lovers, stay away from this chapter! Harry bashing (in fact, he might not live to see the next chapter. How sad). Another thing I should warn you about is that I was high on Root Beer (which causes me to go 99 percent mental) when I wrote this so, it's going to be a bit crazy.

To the reviewers:

Moonfairy2000: I hate cliffhangers too.

Alexpuppy: Your lucky that you can play baseball, I hit myself with the bat. :(





Leena yawned as she walked into her room. It was cold for some reason. She shook the thought away and turned on the light.

She looked around the room; the see-through long white curtains were flying on an invisible gust of wind.

(A/N: Does her room have curtains? I don't know. Never seen her room so I'll be making things up. Same for some of the other rooms.)

"Weird. I don't remember leaving the window open." She said to her self as she closed the window.

She sat down on her bed and began taking off the shoes that Bit had called Peter Pan boots. The memory of that time brought a smile to her face and kicking him in the face for it made her smile too.

She tossed the shoes under her bed. There was a small cry of pain.

"What was that?" she asked herself and searched her dresser for some pajamas. She pulled out a red nightshirt, turned around, and let out a small sigh.

"Bit, don't sneak up on me. I might just go and kick you in the face for it! " She told the cocky warrior who was standing in her doorway.

"I wasn't sneaking up on you!" Bit replied. He leaned against her doorway watching her.

"Whatever." Leena said walking up to him. He could be so cute sometimes she thought.

"Why'd you leave? The party hasn't even begun." Bit said.

"Tired from the battle." She replied simply.

"Uh-huh. I know you too well. What are you hiding?" Bit asked her.

"The truth." Leena muttered.

"What do you mean the truth?" Bit asked.

"Come in and sit down." Leena told him. He followed her over to the bed and sat down. Leena closed the door behind him and sat down beside him.

"Well, it kind of goes like this: In sixth grade there was this loser named Gred…" She explained.

Unknown to the couple, Gred was in the room at that very moment. All though he probably could've chose a better hiding spot. He was laying beneath Leena's bed with one of her shoes in his mouth; the other was painfully digging into his left shin. But he still listened to what Leena was saying.

"I admit, he was cute and when I saw him the other day, he actually is handsome now." Leena said, then realizing what she had just said she went on, "But I could never love him, or anyone as much as I love you." She looked up at him and saw him leaning toward her. She leaned in to him to, their lips barely touching.

That wasn't the best time to say it, because just then, Harry was walking down the hall looking for Leena. He thought she was talking about him so he walked into the room to find Bit and Leena kissing.

"I'll save you my sweet Leena!" Harry shouted and he pulled Bit away from her. He punched Bit several times in the face then in the stomach, and returned to beating Bit's face.

"What are you doing Harry? Stop it!" Leena shouted through gritted teeth. Jeez, her and Bit never get a break she thought.

"I'm saving you my sweetie." Harry answered. Stupid is as stupid does Leena thought.

Leena rolled her eyes, stood up and grabbed him away from Bit.

"Look, I'm in love with Bit. Have been. So bug off. In fact, I'll help." She said.

She pinned one of his arms behind his back with her left hand and used her right hand to open the window. With the window open, she tossed him out. "Wait Leena!!" Harry said falling out….

"I've been wanting to do that for a long time." She said nastily, turning to Bit.

Bit had a bloody nose, mouth, a swelling lip, a black eye, a headache, and a stomachache, all because he didn't fight back. When would he learn. Leena took one look at Bit, figured kissing was out of the question now and decided he needed medical care instead. Oh well… she thought.

Leena dragged him to the hospital section of the base. Hopefully by tomorrow he would feel better she thought.



Next morning…

Bit awoke to see Leena walking around the hospital room.

He tried to remember what had happened last night. He was kissing Leena, and then Harry attacked him, then Leena was insisting that he should go to the hospital.

He tried to sit up, but his head throbbed with pain at the movement, "Ow!"

"Your awake! Are you okay?" Leena asked Bit.

"No." he moaned.

"Oh. Well here's your breakfast." She said, handing him a tray of milk, orange juice, pancakes, a blueberry muffin, and a bowl of lucky charms (just like on the lucky charms commercial).

"Thanks." Bit said to her then turned his attention to the food in front of him. Wonder if I can even eat this. My stomach feels like its been run over by a couple zoids.





After breakfast, and seeing Leena wear a hole in the floor with her pacing, Bit decided to yawn and moan a bit so Leena would get the hint and leave. With a worried look at him, Leena left the room.

Pacing now outside the door to Bit's room Leena waited thru the morning. He didn't want to be disturbed at the moment. She sighed. Poor Bit she thought.

She was about to go down to the food court when she heard Gred's voice from the waiting area down the hall.

"How'd he get here?" She asked herself as she walked down there to see if he was actually there.

Gred was sitting on one of the metal chairs tightly holding his left leg.

"What's wrong?" She asked going up to him.

"Why are YOU asking? YOU'RE on the UG's rival team." He screeched.

"Oh. So just because of that I can't be nice?" She asked and left the room.

"Idiot." Gred muttered.

Leena poked her head back through the door, "I heard that."





Leena once again paced outside of Bit's door, but with a bag Penara Bread cinnamon bagels in her hand. Tearing off chunks of the warm sticky bread and stuffing it in her mouth, she wondered what happened to Gred that he hurt his leg.

There was a scream from inside Bits room and Leena decided that she had had enough pacing. She tried to open the door, but it was locked. She rattled the door knob but she didn't have time to call for a nurse so she did the next most sensible thing, she knocked it off its hinges.

Almost falling into the room, Leena looked up and saw that the bed was empty and the window was broken.

"BIT!" She yelled as she walked across the hard black tile. Looking into the bathroom and in the closet, Bit was nowhere to be seen.

He wasn't anywhere.

"Bit! This isn't funny! Where are you?" She shouted.

No answer.

"Bit!" She yelled again.

"What's all the commotion about?" Brad asked as he walked into the room.

"Bit's gone!" Leena yelled in his face.

"So?" Brad said.

"SO?! BIT'S GONE! WHAT ARE YOU, DEAF?!" Leena screamed.

"I am now." Brad replied.

Big mistake. Leena punched him and kicked him in the stomach, which sent him flying.

"Don't. Make. Me. Any. Madder." Leena warned.



Three hours later…

The Blintz Team was sitting quietly in the lounge. It seemed so silent, so different. Where was Bit?

Leena was crying. Why did Bit leave? No he wouldn't leave them, something must have happened…. She thought.

Brad sat there drinking his coffee, at a safe distance from Leena in case she might explode (again).

Jamie was talking to himself, something about putting two and two together.

And Dr. Toros was trying to comfort his daughter.

"Where… is… he?" Leena asked between sobs.

"I don't know." Dr. Toros answered.

"Is… he… alright?" Leena asked.

"I don't know." Dr. Toros repeated.

"What happened to him? Do you know?" Jamie asked Leena.

"No… I… don't… know." Leena replied, and at that she burst into tears (animie style).

Jamie didn't mean to make matters any worse but he needed to know what happened at the hospital. He had an idea, but couldn't ask Leena since she was busy turning the lounge into a swimming pool.

"Leena stop!" he yelled.

She did her best to stop crying but a small stream still flowed down her face. At least it's no longer a waterfall Jamie thought.

"What… is… it…now…Jamie?" Leena asked.

"What happened at the hospital? Did you see Rocky or Tom there?" Jamie asked her.

Leena thought for a moment, "I did see Gred there." She said at last.

"Uh huh. There's your answer." Jamie replied.

"You don't think that Bit threw Gred out the window do you?" Dr. Toros asked.

"Your slow Doc." Brad commented.

"Yes he's slow." Said a voice.

They looked at the screen. Gred's face appeared on it.

"What do you want?" Leena asked him, she was no longer crying.

"I want a match, one on one, you and me." Gred answered.

"Why should I accept your stinking battle?" Leena snapped.

"'Cause I have your boyfriend." Gred replied smirking at her.

"Oh. I get it! Gred threw Bit out the window!" Dr. Toros yelled happily.

Everyone sweat dropped.

"Listen Leena, if you win, you get your boyfriend back." Gred stated ignoring Dr. Toros stupid ideas.

"And if I lose?" Leena asked him.

"Then it'll be worse than defeat. Bit Cloud will die." He answered…



I know, I know. That was a whole page shorter then my other chapters. Anyway, start predicting, it may or may not end up good. But I think I should stay out of the root beer until I finish this…

PLEASE REVIEW! With Vanilla ice cream, chocolate chip cookies, whipped cream, coconut, strawberries, chocolate fudge and a blueberry on top.
