Wolves Don't Howl Aloud: Suicide By: Kikyouko A/N: I really want to thank littlefox1227 member) for giving the idea for this chapter. Anyways Enjoy! (Longer chapter than the first)
Zakuro lied in bed pulling on the covers tightly. It was hard for her to sleep while she had the modeling show on her mind. She really wouldn't know if anyone would like Pudding as a model. She is kind of jumpy for a model. Zakuro pulled her purple covers above her waist again.
'What if Mint found out?' She thought hard for a while. 'But it wouldn't matter anyway.' She said in her mind with a great sigh on the real world. She soon drifted to sleep with these thoughts still on her mind. The next morning the day snuck up on her. The sun peeked down and woke her up with its graceful but yet bright rays.
"Good Morning!" She said aloud to herself. She seemed much happy in the morning then she did in the evenings. She ripped off the covers and ran to her closet pulling up her night gown and dressing into a wonderful dress for the modeling meeting she had to attend before the show. It was best to wear something pretty when dealing with her boss.
She quickly brushed her hair, sprayed a bit of perfume, and ran out the front door to meet Pudding at her house. She had brought a little bag along with her, containing a bright gold dress for Pudding to wear. She wanted to let her boss meet her and see if she could model too!
'It'll be fun having a child at work with me.' She thought. She had forgotten about Mint completely. Soon Zakuro came upon the girl's home. It was a yellowish tan color with lovely designs on it. She held her hand up to the door to knock, but before she could get close enough the door swung open.
"ZAKURO-SAN!!!!" Pudding yelled with cheer. She always seemed happy to see her. The girl's golden hair and eyes would match the dress perfectly. Zakuro smiled and held out the bag.
"For you." She said softly. "Would you go try it on for me?" She asked politely. "It used to be mine when I was your age." Zakuro finished pulling her hair to one side. Pudding looked in the bag with excitement.
"YAY! I'll try it on now!!!" The girl yelled, trotting into the other room. She son came out wearing the golden gown and a necklace that said star on it. The dress sparkled as sun as did the necklace. The dress was shaped to fit while the necklace in the heart shape.
"Y-you look wonderful!" Zakuro stuttered. She was amazed it fit her so well. It looked prettier on Pudding than it did her. Pudding smiled and blushed.
"Thank you so much Z-san!" She said smiling a little more. Her smile gave Zakuro a warm feeling. It made her smile as well. She couldn't wait to get to the show. Zakuro smiled back and grabbed hold of the girl's hand.
"Let's go! You don't want to miss your chance, do you?" She said pulling her into the modeling meeting. "Hello! I am sorry I was late. I brought my friend Pudding. I thought she could be a child model." She cheered.
The boss stared at Zakuro and then to Pudding. A smile lit on the man's face. It seemed he liked her rather well already. His glasses went to his nose as he stood up and took a closer look.
"YES! What a beautiful young lady." He replied with his English sort of tone. Pudding and Zakuro grabbed each other's hands and jumped up and down. Their hair bounced up and down as they jumped happily. The other models at the meeting blinked and stopped discussing the outfits they were going to wear in thirty minutes.
"A child?"
"That is just...just STUPID!"
"I think it's cool."
Zakuro over heard three of the girl's talking about it. Most of them didn't like the idea, but now she knew at least three did (Boss, Zakuro, Another Model). It was so exciting to have someone she knew model with her. Most of the models there didn't really talk to her so they weren't as close as Pudding.
The boss looked at Pudding's golden dress. It's velvet gold texture sparkled in the light. He soon looked at the gold necklace hanging from the girl's neck. It shined like it was proud to be worn. He soon clapped and stood up.
"TIME TOOOO MODELLL!" He yelled. As the man walked by he handed Pudding a number of outfits to wear during the show. Pudding blinked and stared up at Zakuro. She was wearing a Purple gown with diamonds and crystals hanging down from it. It was brighter then the sun but had the sight of an eclipse not seen for millions of years.
They all soon walked out into the back stage of the walkway. Zakuro was first she slipped on some high-heeled shoes and hit the stage. Cameras flashed in every direction, people gazed upon the outfit, animals barked from outside. The night was loud. Cheery. And Bright.
Soon Zakuro spotted a familiar face in the audience. It was Mint! And Pudding would be walking out any minute now. She looked towards the back as Pudding walked out in a children's ball gown. She watched Mint's happy smile fade, and hated every moment of it.
They were all there, all of the Mews. Mint's eyes swelled with tears. She started to sob and soon ran out of the door. Zakuro walked into the back slumping and sighing. She really didn't mean to hurt her. She only wanted to...to give some one else a chance. She had been almost everything, but Mint.... Nothing.
Why did it have to happen like this? It didn't make much sense to her at all. The secret supposed to be kept crumbled in her mind as she thought more and more. The other two Mews watched in horror. Zakuro couldn't and didn't want to think of what they thought of her now.
Pudding walked back behind stage as other models walked out. She sighed and sat down near Zakuro. She seemed a bit depressed about the situation as well.
"I am sorry Zakuro-san. I only wanted to see what it was like. I want NO part in this anymore. Mint will just get hurt more." She softly muttered as she walked out the exit. Zakuro was surprised a child knew how to say such a thing. She knew what Pudding was trying to do was for the best.
"I am sorry too..." Zakuro replied to herself. "I LET HER DOWN! She'll never forgive me." She cried in her hands, which were now placed firmly on her face. The other Mews soon ran in without Mint.
"ZAKURO! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO MINT!?" Ichigo yelled. She was furious that a friend would do that to another friend. Zakuro didn't say a word. Lettuce looked down and shook her head. She seemed a bit angry too.
"I HAVE ALREADY TOLD MYSELF I WAS SORRY!" She screamed back and ran out the door. She had truly meant it and NO one could see that. Zakuro ran until she could see Mint in her sight.
"They took my dream away from me!" Mint cried as she held a silver dagger in the air, but before Zakuro could yell stop the knife went through the Mews heart.
"NOOOOOOO MINT!" Zakuro yelled. "I am sorry..." She cried. Mint spoke with her last breath, and heartbeat.
"Me...too...I didn't want to...do this...-" The girl soon passed away. Zakuro stared in horror. Her friend had just died in her arms. She was only twelve. She could have lived her whole life if she hadn't screwed with her ream!
She pulled out a cell phone and called the police, but before they got there she left. She didn't want to be a suspect at all. She walked into the café later that afternoon.
"Where's Mint?" Ryou questioned. Zakuro looked down and tears began to fall from her eyes.
"She won't be coming back. Ever..." She replied sobbing softly. Everyone turned around. Keiichiro walked over and patted her on the back with a hug to go along with it all.
"What do you mean?" He asked politely. Zakuro cried harder and harder. She soon let out a huff.
"She...She...d-died." She cried once more. Everyone in the café stared at her. They were all shocked to her the super model say it. No one thought it could be true.
"What happened?" Lettuce asked. Zakuro kept on crying.
"Suicide..." She responded with a sob. "I didn't think she would do that! SHE WAS JUST A CHILD!!!!! WHY!? SHE HAD A WHOLE LIFE IN FORNT OF HER!!!" She yelled. The Mews looked down and began to cry as well. No one could hold tears back any longer not even Ryou or Keiichiro.
