(A/N: Blah. FF.Net suspended me yet again, thus the "late" update. And on another note, the next chapter is the last, followed by the epilogue and this chapter is extreeeeeeemely short. ^^;;;; Sorry. I probably won't update until Monday, as I have to work two 7 hour shifts the next two days and then two 8 hour shifts. Blah. Part-time job my ass. Oh well, my paycheck will be nice. D
Enough about me! Thankies for the reviews! ^^
Tallulah: I wish my chapters were longer too. But, when I wrote them in my notebook, they seemed so much longer....My handwriting is big and messy and compared to typing, it takes about ten pages of my writing to make up one typed page. -____- Yeesh. The next chapter will be much longer, promise! And I made a link? O__o;;; Wow, go me.
Romennar: Yes, Kai does have weird dreams. Let's all pity him. D
Kai: *decides the sooner Abee is dead, the sooner the world will be safe again*
Err....on with the fic? ^^;;;;)
Just To Tell You
Chapter 9: Nobody's Listening
The sun beat down on the parking lot, baking the students sitting in it, guarding their bikes. Yamagata was pointedly ignoring Kai, just like everyone else.
Laughter shrieked around him. He looked at the ground, finding himself wishing that he could laugh at the joke too. All in all, the whole situation hadn't changed much. Everyone still ignored him, said shit about him behind his back. Fuck, he was still getting his head bashed in on a regular basis and he was still alone most nights. He still cried most nights.
Yamagata was still with his girlfriend too and that pissed him off. He felt like he was being betrayed- cheated on. He supposed he'd suddenly realized that Yamagata wasn't as great as he'd seemed at first. That was pretty much the only thing that had changed. Oh, and the fact that Yamagata was getting some on weekends and whenever Suki wasn't around. Kai felt like a two-bit whore. It wasn't a nice feeling.
He glanced around at the group, glowering at them. Kaneda was the only one who seemed to notice. The so-called 'leader' paused and blinked. "Something wrong, Kai?"
Kai tightened his grip on the hadle bars of his bike. Some of them were looking over at him - he could feel their eyes on him. He didn't want them to look at him - he didn't want to draw attention. But some little part of him, wasn't connecting with that thought and he found himself saying, in a low, even tone, "Yeah. Everything's wrong."
All eyes were on him now - he could feel them, burning into him. He hated it. They were watching him and he couldn't stand it. He gave Yamagata a pointed glare, then started the bike and tore off before anybody could ask questions, before they could stop him.
Tears burnt at his eyes and he didn't care. He just didn't care. He was so sick of it all. He was just too tired and too drained by it to care anymore. He didn't care.
~*
The Capsules stared after Kai, completely bewildered. Yamagata stared too, but for dsifferent reasons. He understood - he knew what was wrong. Kai's gaze had disturbed him, but not as much as Kai's words.
Everything was wrong? Oh boy, he'd screwed up royally to get a statement like that out of Kai. /So, this has been for nothing?/
Some part of him, deep down, didn't want to believe that. He didn't want it to end. But as he tore his eyes away from the disappearing figure of Kai, he couldn't help that sinking feeling. Maybe, it was time to let go....
(A/N: Yes, short. I told you. I apologize many times over. I'm not really happy with this chapter. *sigh* And if it seemed choppy, I was typing up what I'd written and editing/re-writing as I went. That isn't something I usually do - I screw up the flow when I do that. X3 Ne wayz, R&R? Please?)
