Dream

A woman looking about 39 sat in the backseat of a car with a frown on her face. She had red hair that was held up in a tight bun with long bangs that hung over her eyes. Her hazel eyes were flashing with an unknown expression as she looked at the 16-year-old in the driver's seat.

"Are you sure you should be driving, Naoko?" She asked, still frowning at her son. He just got his driver's license and wanted to take the car for a joy ride.

"Yeah, I can drive mom, don't worry about it. Everything will be fine." Kumo said with a warm smile, looking back at his mother.

Flash

Kumo sat quietly in the driver's seat with fresh tears running down his face. His hands had a death grip on the steering wheel. His body trembling as he stared in front of him with a lost look on his face. He did not even notice the police officer beside him that was talking to him until the police officer put a hand on his trembling shoulders.

"It's okay son. Just step out of the car. Everything will be fine." The old policeman said gently, but everything wasn't fine.

End of Dream

A horrified expression appeared on Kumo's face as he woke up from his nightmare. He sat up with beads of sweat running down his face mixed with salty tears. Kumo ran his hand through his sweaty hair before sighing tiredly.

"Damn."

"You don't look good today, Kumo, what's wrong with you?" Kouya asked a concerned look on his normally frowning face. Kumo looked horrible. He had dark bags underneath his eyes and his eyes were red and puffy. "Were you crying?"

"No"

"Then why are your eyes puffy and red?" Kouya continued to question, ignoring the annoyed look on the redhead's face.

"It's nothing."

"Damnit, would you stop being so stubborn! I'm trying to help you out here." Kouya said with a frustrated sigh. Kumo quickly jumped out of his chair knocking it down loudly onto the floor getting everyone's attention. His face was red with rage, startling Kouya.

"I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP!" Kumo screamed, clenching his teeth slightly, looking like he was going to punch Kouya in his face.

Kouya waved his hands in front of him. "I'm just trying to help, just calm down, Kumo." The Japanese replied with a sad look appearing on his face.

"I am calm." Kumo hissed angrily, not liking the way his friend was looking at him. He didn't need anyone's pity. He just wanted to be left alone, that's all.

"I think your overreacting things, again. Kouya was just trying to help you. Let him." Karuka commented, frowning at the redheaded young man.

"Oh so your gaining up on me, too?" Kumo asked, glaring that the usually silent young man. Karuka and Kouya looked up at him in surprise.

"What?! Kumo-kun, we are not trying to gain up on you. I'm just trying to help you out here. You don't have to chew my head off!" Kouya explained with an angry look on his face also. Kumo trailing on thin ice here.

"How many times to I have to explain this to you! I DON'T NEED YOUR STUPID HELP!!!" Kumo shouted with narrowed eyes into slits that flashed with rage. "Just leave me alone!"

Before Kouya could reply, the redhead was already gone. Kouya turned to Karuka with a very offended look on his face.

"Who put a stick up his ass today?! I was just trying to help, but I can't do that now, can I? No, I can't help out a friend because he's being an asshole." The blue eyed young man complained loudly and then turned his death glare to everyone looking at him.

"What are ya looking at?! Haven't you seen an angry person before?! Mind your own damn business!"

Kumo sat quietly at a park bench with his sunglasses covering up his raging hazel eyes. He arms crossed tightly over his chest as he glared daggers at the ground.

'I don't need anyone's help.' He thought stubbornly ignoring the small voice in his mind that was telling him that he was wrong.

A chibi Shuichi appeared on his left shoulder with white wings on his shoulder and a halo glowing over his head, while another chibi Shuichi appeared on his right shoulder. Instead of having white wings and a halo, he had black bat wings and red horns sticking out of his head and was holding a red pitchfork.

"I think you should apologize, Kumo. Kouya was just trying to help you out. Just apologize and we'll all be happy again." The Angel Shuichi said with a warm smile. Kumo snorted along with the devil version of Shuichi.

"Don't apologize to that low-life. You did nothing wrong. You don't want his pity do you? He's going to think you're weak, if you do that." The devil Shuichi smirked seeing Kumo shake his head.

"Don't listen to him, Kumo-chan." The Angel said glaring at the Devil, who was looking at him with a smug expression, yawning lazily. "Kouya was just trying to be a good friend and you yelled at him for being concerned about you." Kumo shook his head confused on what he should do. He had two choices, apologize to Kouya for yelling that him or ignore Kouya and find another best friend. He didn't know which one to choice.

Almost like reading the young man's mind, the Angel Shuichi said. "You don't want another friend. No other person will accept you like Kouya did. Remember the time when you almost got beat up by those bullies at school? Who came to save you?"

"Kouya…"

"And who always had your back when you got in trouble with the teachers?" The white winged Shuichi asked with a smile seeing that he was about to win.

"Kouya…" Kumo said weakly slumping down on the bench with a guilty expression. The black winged Shuichi growled angrily, stomping his feet and tried hit the Angel Shuichi with his pitchfork, which the other avoided it with a smile.

"Now go apologize to Kouya and make things right." The white winged Shuichi suggested still dodging the pitchfork that was targeting his head and glared at the other Shuichi. "Hey! Give me my money. I won the bet!"

The Devil smirked evilly with manic laugh and disappeared in the flames of fire yelling. "Never! You'll never get your money! Never!"

"Wait give me my money you evil-" The Angel stopped talking when he noticed that Kumo was glaring at him.

"You were betting on me?" The American demanded with a frown and the chibi Shuichi gulp nervously rubbing the back of his head with a sheepish smile. "I thought Angels weren't supposed to bet."

"Yeah, while I need the money. Helping people doesn't pay the rent, you know?!" Chibi Shuichi said, frowning at Kumo. "Anyway I need to go. My money's wanting for me, bye." Then disappeared with a golden glow.

"Wow ... that was weird." Kumo said, blinking looking at his shoulders wondering if they can appear and disappear anything they wanted to. He shook his head, standing up knowing that he was getting off track. He needed to apologize to Kouya. "Maybe I should apologize."

He stood up from the wooden bench only to feel something cold pushed against his temple. Kumo looked up nervously with a sheepish smile to see a familiar trigger-happy man.

"Uh ... How did you find me?" Kumo squeaked nervously with wide hazel eyes. He had run away from his job just to hang out with Karuka and Kouya, but he was found once again.

"Oh this." K replied reaching behind Kumo neck and pulled out a tiny device from the redhead's clothing. Kumo gasped in disbelief looking at the tiny red light in K's hand.

"You bugged me?" The redhead asked, still in disbelief looking up at the blond-haired man. "I can't believe this! You-" K just smiled and clicked the safely lock off, causing Kumo to stop talking. He knew better than to insult the man with the gun.

"Get back to work."

"But I-"

"Work."

"Please I-"

K, having enough of Kumo's talking, raised his gun in the air and shot several bullets in the blue sky that was clearly warning the redhead that he had enough of his excuses. Kumo flinched and then a second later a dead bird landed at Kumo's feet.

"Work. Now."

"Okay, Okay." The redhead surrendered, waving his hand nervously up in the air taking a step away from the man with the huge gun and started to walk away when bullets were shot at him, making him fall to the ground, hands covering his face.

"Wrong direction." K commented, smiling happy pointing to the right, where Kumo was going left. Kumo nodded, trembling getting up from the ground and walked to the right when K shot at him again.

"Faster!"

"Okay, Okay I'm going. I'm going." Kumo cried running, while dodging the bullets K was shooting at him with a manic laugh. "Stop shooting at me!"

"Never!"
