Chapter 34: The "Cat's" Confessions.

Elk sat across from Mia who was drinking a glass of milk over Ice, and had strangely enough ordered blue fish, calamari,and shrimp as her dinner, she had eaten oysters as her appetizer. Elk had finished his goat cheese, cranberry, and pecan topped salad and was waiting for his meal which was Suikiyaki. He stirred drank his Melon Soda slowly and looked up at her with deep and depressing eyes.

" Thankyou...Mia...." He sighed although he did have a tone of appreciation

"You're welcome, I hope you're enjoying yourself" She replied carefully eating her fish

" Yes, the food is delicous, but..I can't say I'm enjoying myself Mia, I've heard things...things I really don't want to believe..but..I've heard them and I want to know if their true..." He sighed heavily taking another sip.

" That's why I brought you here, we do neef to talk Elk, Its important" She said in a slightly cold voice

" Mia....why...won't you take off your hat..or your trench coat...?" Elk asked sounding frightend to know the answer

" You...and Kite...have gotten really close........why is that?" Mia asked in curiousity

" S...So what? If I'm close to Kite? He doesn't lie to me...." Elk looked down tears forming in his eyes

" Oh, I see..." Mia looked up at the lamp

" Tell me Mia! Tell me! Please! Just say it! It hurts you know! It really really hurts! All those years we spent together...and...you never saw me as me...you always thought of me...as being my brother why? I love my Tsukasa and I'm not going to take this out on him at all..he was alone and you helped him...from Morgana...but...I thought...you were different then or you were destroyed back then, you were mute too how did you..how...?" He cried taking another sip tears falling into his soda

" I evolved persay, I couldn't help it Elk, you are just like your brother....just like him, and thats why I grew fond of you...I don't want to talk about me...me being Maha, I don't..." Mia frowned.

" You should!" Elk cried now almost hiccuping crys.

" I won't..." She frowned again

" Fine...but take off your hat and coat.." He huffed

" I won't do that either..." She frowned harder

"why cause you have ears and a tail?" Elk asked angrily now chomping down on beef

" wh....who ....how did...." Mia sat their in utter disbelief

" Kite told me...the first night he came in my room" Elk replied

" He comes in your room every night? thats a little weird Elk.." Mia replied disgusted

" So? We talk...we're close so what? He really misses black rose.." He said gritting his teeth at her

" Whatever you're not the same Elk, your so different" Mia complained.

" Different? You mean not happy around you? its because you hurt me Mia" He said sadly with a hint of anger

" Elk, I'm sorry but thats the truth..." Mia looked at him with sincerity

Tears ran down his face even more " The truth hurts Mia! The truth really really hurts!"

" I know" Mia looked away.

" I...I don't know why I'm turning into my character...perhaps...you and Tsukasa only weakend the Data bug..."

" Mia...I don't think it was a Data bug..It looked like Aura...but with a black dress, black hair, and red eyes..." Elk looked down

" Tsukasa said...she was the polar opposite of existence..."

" So..then...even though she attempted to merge our worlds in the end she wants destruction...what a strange program..almost like a delete button" She said looking thoughtfull

" Yeah! Thats right..." Elk looked at her with

"there must be...some way to stop it, but not untill we find out how it will affect us.."

Mia and Elk looked at one another thinking for a long time.

" Elk, when this is over I'm going to have to leave you..." Mia said after a long period of silence

" Because...of what you lied to me about? or something else..." Elk asked sadly

" all of it Elk, all of it..." Mia crossed her arms

The rest of the evening they ate their dinner in silence.
