"Show Me the Meaning Of Being Lonely"
Vanadise awoke to a commercial coming from the radio. She sat up and brushed a strand of hair out of her face. She shoved a blanket off of her and got out of the bed. She straightened her dress and went into the kitchen.
She noticed a bowl on the counter with a note by it. She picked it up and read it. Van~
Hey, you were asleep when I ate, so I decided to leave this for you to heat up! Its Vegetable Rice. Just pop it in the microwave for a few minutes & it should be good!
~Rie
Van pulled the plastic wrap off of the soup and stuck it in the microwave. She pulled a spoon from the drawer as it heated. She then pulled the steamy bowl out and went to the table.
While she ate, she thought.
Wonder where Rie went. Maybe she went home. Wonder if she's still here. Could Mei be here yet? I hope nothing happened to her! She's so naïve, yet.not. How could you be a naïve assassin? I don't know.I'm just confusing myself.

Aya pulled up to the house for the third time that day and got out, hoping that he wouldn't have to go anywhere until tomorrow. He entered the house and found Youji stretched out on the couch, flipping through a "magazine". Omi quickly looked away when he saw the cover. Aya simply rolled his eyes and walked out of the room.
"How can you look at that, Youji?" Ken asked.
"What? I open my eyes and take it all in, its not that difficult."
Ken shrugged his shoulders, Youji was a lost cause, "Did you find something to eat?"
"Heck! I found more than just something! You bought enough food to feed a third-world country for a year!"
Ken rolled his eyes and went to his room to grab some clothes for a quick shower, the waiter at the restaurant had dropped an ice tea and some had gotten on him. He went into the bathroom and turned on the hot water while he undressed.

Eve tossed the pizza box into the trashcan, "Hey, Mei, do you want to spend the night here, or do you want me to take you to the apartment? Because I need to get to the Club."
"I'll go to the apartment."
"OK, I'll drop you off."
Mei picked up her bunny as Eve grabbed her keys.
A few minutes later and Mei had been dropped at the communal apartment for the night and Eve was parking the car in the parking garage down the street from the club. She walked around to the back of White Desire, the front already being blocked by a crowd held at bay by a tall, muscular bouncer.
Eve turned on the dance lights and music before throwing the doors open. The staff was already lined up behind the counter, ready to serve up as many drinks as it was humanly possible to do in one night.
The dark owner went through a steel door and into a private room to await the arrival of her business partner, Vanadise.
Mei unlocked the door to the apartment and entered to see Van sitting on the counter in the kitchen, eating.
"Hey, what's up?"
Vanadise looked up from the soup to see her young friend. "Not much. How are you?"
Mei shrugged, "OK I guess. I ate dinner with Eve."
Van nodded and went back to her soup.
Mei set her bunny down on her bed and kicked her shoes off.
Rie sat on the motor scooter in the middle of a traffic jam. There had been an accident about a mile ahead. To her left was a black car with tinted windows and to her right was a red convertible with the roof down and the bass turned way up.
Finally, the cars began to move forward, very slowly, and Rie revved the scooter and zoomed between the cars, hurrying, for no reason, to get to her house.
Vanadise took the subway to get to the club. She went through the backdoor to avoid the crowds and went straight up the stairs to the private room that she and Eve usually sat in through club hours.
Eve was sitting at the window, looking up into the stars, tears running down her face. Coming from downstairs, music filtered in.
Show me the meaning of being lonely
So many words for the broken heart It's hard to see in a crimson love So hard to breath Walk with me, and maybe Nights of light so soon become Wild and free I could feel the sun Your every wish will be done They tell me
Show me the meaning of being lonely Is this the feeling I need to walk with Tell me why can't I be there where you are There's something missing in my heart
Life goes on as it never ends Eyes of stone observe the trends They never say forever gaze Guilty roads to an endless love There's no control Are you with me now Your every wish will be done They tell me
Show me the meaning of being lonely Is this the feeling I need to walk with Tell me why can't I be there where you are There's something missing in my heart
Show me the meaning of being lonely Is this the feeling I need to walk with Tell me why can't I be there where you are There's something missing in my heart
There's nowhere to run I have no place to go Surrender my heart, body and soul How can it be you're asking me to feel The things you never show
You are missing in my heart Tell me why can't I be there where you are
Show me the meaning of being lonely Is this the feeling I need to walk with Tell me why can't I be there where you are There's something missing in my heart
Show me the meaning of being lonely Is this the feeling I need to walk with Tell me why can't I be there where you are There's something missing in my heart

Aya lay in his room, staring up at the ceiling above his bed. He couldn't sleep. He had music playing softly from the radio beside him, but it wasn't helping. He rolled over and turned it off.
He sighed as he looked at the clock. He'd have to get up for work in five hours. He shut his eyes and forced himself into sleep.
