I'll Close My Eyes

Chapter 2: Surrender my heart once more
Hotaru let the tear slide down her pale cheek, not bothering to stop it. What was the point? How could she not mourn for her friend, her Light, and her duty (to protect Usagi)? No, it was alright to mourn, it was alright to cry for the loss of the one thing you hold most dear. But...she could not mourn now, she could not mourn here. No, she could not do anything of the sort, not while she had so much to accomplish. Pushing away the wave of emotions that threatened to spill out, Hotaru took a shuddering breath and opened her eyes. She watched as Ran stood in front of her, his mouth agape, confusion swirling in his eyes. She watched...and waited.

"What was that all about?" Omi asked with curiosity, putting away the broom.
Yohji leaned against the wall and tapped his chin thoughtfully, "I'm not sure, but it has something to do with Aya."
Ken rolled his eyes in exasperation, "We *already* know that. Of course it has to do with Aya! Why else would he run off like there was a pack of hounds casing after him. Tell us something useful for once, will ya?"
Yohji glared at the former soccer player for a second before a thoughtful expression entered his eyes, "Hmm, it seems to me that Aya has a sister. I don't quite understand what's going on, but I do remember that the lady on the phone didn't know Aya. At least, she didn't know the Aya we know. She knew-"
Yohji was cut off in mid sentence when Omi quietly said, "Ran. She knew Ran."

"Leave me alone, Schuldich! I told you already, it's *over*." a bonde haired lady cried out in frustration. Her pale blue eyes were shimmering with tears, but she refused to shed them in front of him. Walking briskly down the sidewalk, she wrapped her long brown overcoat closer around her body to protect herslef from the chilling wind. Her curled hair billowed out behind her as another blast of wind blew by.
"Yumeai, wait! Let me explain! It isn't what you think it is!" Schuldich shouted after her, quickly catching up to Yumeai, for every one of his strides equaled two of hers.
Yumeai whirled around to confront Schuldich, "Oh really? It isn't what I think it is? So tell me, what am I supposed to think when I come across my *supposed* boyfriend kissing another girl? Well, TELL ME!!"
"I...well..." for once, Schuldich was speechless. It puzzled him to no end, why he couldn't come up with a reason. It was even more confusing to him why he even cared.
"See," Yumeai bitterly stated, "even you can't tell me otherwise." She wiped the tears from her eyes and harshly laughed, "I only have myself to blame in the end. Don't look so surprised, Schuldich. I'm not as dumb as you might think. I *knew* of your reputation, yet I was stupid enough to think that maybe I stood a chance. Well, I guess you proved me wrong. Maybe it's just me, my luck with guys never seems to last long. I'm probably cursed or something." She shook her head sadly and looked up at him, "Still, I thought that...I thought that mayb-mmmpphhh!"
She was cut off as Schuldich crushed his lips against hers in a sweet, but forceful kiss. She fought against him, but he wouldn't let her escape. Finally, Yumeai gave in to his kiss and timidly responded. Through the haze that was rapidly covering her mind, she managed to think, 'I hate your mind games, Schuldich.' Her blue eyes fluttered closed as she sagged against the tall German.
Schuldich broke the kiss and picked up Yumeai, princess style. "I know you do, koi. Demo, I can't let you go. You belong to me, and me only."
The slumbering girl stirred slightly and murmered, "Iie...there is...one other..."
Schuldich clenched his fist in anger and quietly vowed, "No, you shall forget this one other and know only me. I'll make sure of that, even if I have to keep playing mind games with you for the rest of my life. You will know no one but me." In saying so, he turned around and walked away, never noticing the angry white cat trailing him.

PS: Can anyone guess who Yumeai is? I'll give you a hint, it's not Usagi! ^.~
