A.N. YEAH!! Another chapter ^^

Another day, another sunrise, and another adventure. Now.. what could be so special about today? It seemed normal enough, smelled normal enough, and it tasted normal enough. The only thing that was different was Pain.

Rowen was sitting in math class, his favorite class. Yet he wasn't in mathematic heaven, buzzing away on his calculator or doing inhumanly fast mental math.

No.

He was in pain.

Scrutinizing pain. Not in his legs, arms, or anywhere were you would first guess. The pain was in his head. It was ripping his brain apart it seemed, tearing at him bit-by-bit, peace-by-peace. He couldn't take much more.

Dots were flashing through his eyes. He barley saw Sage shoot him a worried glance. Suddenly, something burst, or something couldn't take it, and he doubled over in pain, holding his head and falling form his chair.

Immediately a ruckus went up, and the teacher stood up. 'Mr. Hashiba?" Sage, already advanced in medicine, knelt by his friend.

"Rowen? Rowen can you speak to me?"

"My head.." Sage felt the black of his friends head, and his features lightened. "Someone, call 9-11." He ordered, his tone deadly. The teacher nodded, noticing the seriousness of the situation and ran out of the room as Sage rolled Rowen onto his back.

"Hang on Rowen, it's going to be o.k.," Rowen blacked out. And dull sirens could be heard a distance away.

Hospitals, the most gloomy of places. Screaming and the such is always heard, yet somehow an unyielding silence settles amongst the newer patients. These people are nerve wracked, and their hands seem to shake as they sip cup after cup of coffee.

Pitter pattering feet, and pacing make up for the silence. An occasional shiver will run through their bodies, knowing this is out of their hands and their loved one could die in the hands of another.

The six people shared looks ever so often as they waited in worry. Sage was more worried than anyone in that room. He could have, might have been able, to help Rowen. But he couldn't, not in front of all those people. Now he could only hope Rowen would be o.k.

Surprisingly he found an unbearable anger surging through him. He knew Rowen had been under a bit of stress since Cloud came.its all her fault. suddenly he lurched to his feet, eyes ablaze as he pointed accusingly at Cloud. "Its all your fault!" he screamed. "Its all your fault he's like this! It's all your fault! If you weren't here this would never have happened,"

"I-" Sage had never been violent, but the rage soared and he slapped her, knocking her down, and she stared up at him, and yet her eyes showed no malice.

"You ruined everything! I wish you never came here! Go back were you came form because we don't want you!" he stormed out of the waiting room, slamming the door. He needed air. The words Cloud said never reached his ears as she looked down and pushed herself up, her bangs hiding her eyes.

"Are you happy now?' it was only a little bit above a whisper, and you could see her already sore cheek glowing in new pain.

**

He needed a walk. A walk to get away from it. It wasn't fair. "If she hadn't come here this wouldn't have happened!" He said coarsely, his voice not hiding his bitterness.

He walked and walked, his feet getting sore, contemplating on how he hated Cloud, how he wished she would just disappear. "You want the young one to disappear?' a cold voice sneered, and the blond turned to find Kale.

"Kale.." he hissed.

"We can get rid of her for you Halo, all you have to do is say the word," Sage thoug h a moment. and then he said the words he never though he'd ever say.

"Deal,"

TBC!!!
