A/N: NEW CHAPPIE! AND IT'S NOT LATE-ISH! YAY! ^__^ Enjoy!

Silence fell on the restaurant as the poor monk could only here the sound of his heart beating in his ears. The chopsticks stuck in the thick knot of noodles that lay before him. Kamui's eyes were dark. He had to ask him.

"Did something happen to her?"

Kamui starred down at the mass of complex carbohydrates in front of him. Instead of answering his question, he managed something else.

"You know... Sorata... life doesn't always turn out the way we want it..." Kamui mumbled, his shoulders shaking a bit. Sorata knew something was wrong.

// Somewhere over the rainbow //

// Way up high //

// There's a land that I've heard of //

// Once in a lullaby //

The boy's frail body shuddered. This was something big.

"Kamui... please tell me... What happened to Arashi?" Sorata asked, eyes beginning to burn. Kamui looked up at him. Pain was floating behind his eyes as clear as day.

"Nothing's happened to her... It's just... you can't see her..."

// Somewhere over the rainbow //

// Skies are blue //

// And the dreams that you dare to //

// Dream really do come true //

Sorata's heart broke in two.

"What?" he mumbled. His voice was weak and cracking a bit. His eyes were burning even more, his emotions threatening to spill out onto the table.

"If you get close, they'll try to kill you," Kamui said, "Someone doesn't want us to see the ones we loved before we died. They won't let me or Kotori see Fuma! And I can't do anything about it... I'm useless..."

// Someday I wish upon a star //

// And wake up where the clouds are far behind me //

// Where troubles melt like lemon drops //

// Away above the chimney tops //

// That's where you'll find me //

Sorata couldn't believe what was happening.

'I can't see her...'

Tears were gathering in his eyelashes.

'I can't talk to her... or tell her how much I missed her... and love her...'

He collapsed on the table and began to cry.

// Somewhere over the rainbow //

// Blue birds fly //

// Birds fly over the rainbow //

// I don't know why can't I //

// If happy little blue birds fly beyond the rainbow //

// Why, oh why, can't I //

A/N: I feel evil... ; ; I'm sorry *gives Sorata a hug* ^__^ R+R pwease!
