A/N: Thanks you for the reviews!! I love reviews. Again, sorry for the.....month long
absence!?! What have I been doing!? Arrgghh....anyways, here's chapter 3!
CHAPTER 3
"What the hell?!" Kanna yelled as she and Mari ran to the bathroom door, only
to find it locked. "Machi!! What are you doing!?!" the bluenette said, pounding on the door.
No reply. "Mari's scared...." the dollmaster whimpered, staring at the door. Kanna backed
away from the door. "Look out Mari..." she said, kicking the door as hard as she could.
The force was enough, breaking the frame and swinging the door open.
The two shamans entered the bathroom. The
floor was littered with broken glass and blood. Machi was huddled in the corner, crying. She
had aparently punched and shattered the mirror, as her right hand was covered in gashes
and bleeding profusely. Kanna ran over to Machi and stood her up. Her first instinct was to
slap the younger girl, but she appeared to be in worse enough condition already. Instead,
the older shaman shook the red head. "What the hell is wrong with you?!" she yelled.
Machi simply stared blankly at the floor. "Oh for the love of....Mari! I want you to clean this
up, ok?" she said, pulling Machi out of the washroom, and into the kitchen. Mari nodded
and began cleaning up the mess.
Once in the kitchen, Kanna grabbed Machi's still
bleeding hand and, using a pair of tweezers, began pulling out shards of glass. Machi
started to sob again, causing Kanna to stop what she was doing."What are you crying
about? YOU punched the mirror..." The younger looked up, tears streaming down her
face. "K-kanna....I-I keep remembering things...." "What? What kind of things?" Kanna
replied. "M-my past! Those awful memories....I thought I'd left that all behind me...."
Kanna continued cleaning the wounds, a look of pity on her face. She often remembered
those bad times as well. "We've all been through rough times like that, Machi. That still
doesn't explain why you smashed the mirror. I mean, it's not like you were gonna to kill
yourself....." Machi stared shamefully at the floor. Kanna stared at her in disbelief, which
quickly turned to a glare. "Well, i though you were a hell of alot stronger than that!" With
that, Kanna grabbed Machi's non-bandaged hand, dragging her to her room. "Stay here."
the bluenette said, slamming the door behind her. Machi was left alone once again. She
began to cry again, sitting on her bed.
A couple hours passed, and Kanna was sitting with
Mari on the couch. "What are we gonna do with her? she asked the younger girl. "Mari
thinks you should talk to Machi." the blond replied, fiddling with Chuck's hair. "Crap..."
Kanna said with a sigh, getting up and heading down the hall to Machi's room. "Machi?"
the blue haired shaman asked as she slowly opened the bedroom door. The girl was still
sitting on her bed, her eyes red from crying. "Look, Machi, about what I said before...."
"No! You were right.....I AM weak. I'm pathetic and worthless...." "Stop talking like that!"
Kanna shouted. "None of that's true! You're a great, fun person!" "No I'm not!!" the red head
shouted back, tears once again welling up in her eyes. Before she could cry again, Kanna
had embraced the younger girl in a hug. She held her tight, and planted a light kiss on her
forehead. "Next time you decide to say something like that again, remember this, alright?"
Machi just nodded, more confused now than before. Kanna let go and stood up. "W-well
I'd better.....go and get something r-ready for dinner...." she said, getting up and leaving the
room. Machi was left to wonder what on earth had just happened....
A/N: Hey Keiko, was THAT "mushy" enough for you? Ha, I bet no one saw that coming....
Kanna&Machi: You are SOOO dead!!!
Mari: Mari needs more lines....
Saikoro: Don't YOU start!!
