Song lyrics (for Concrete Angel) taken from sakurasango's bio. I hope you don't mind Sakura! That song was one of the things that inspired me for this chapter! I also hope you're website is going good for you!

Perfect, now even the little line thingy's aren't even showing up! You know, the ones that are usually used for the mouths of the little face characters I usually do? Well anyways, the strange little dashes and O's are from little deformed faces since the lines for the mouth are gone...

Another thing, our school's ceramic teacher, Roger Gallardo, had placed a running video camera in the bathroom! It was in the 4000 building, first floor, which was only accessible by a key. I've heard that the boys were told to use the upstairs bathroom while the girls used the one with the camera in it. Well, the perv took the images from the camera and put them onto the internet! Of course he was put on 'administrative leave' (a.k.a. - fired) and most people think he's going to jail (which I hope for!). I thankfully didn't have ceramics but Teresa, daughter of the lady who drives me home everyday (yes, I don't have my permit yet… not till October anyways --) used to have it because I remember her bringing sculptures and pots home every week. Anyway, the whole school is talking about it and boy do those rumors fly! These are the real facts though, seeing as I have an email from the school as well as a letter sitting in front of me. At least we have something to talk about… -o

UnBREAKable

Chapter 25

"I wonder if Kat would be happy to live her life with a demon so long as it was a beautiful one," Kenshin mused to himself.

Hate to break it to you but they're all demons and they're all beautiful. Rei laughed. The wolf grew a bit more serious with her next comment. They love her just the same though.

"I wish I could be the same," Kenshin muttered.

You don't need or have to be. Rei assured. You may have been brought to this place to do so but that doesn't mean you will. In fact, I'd be surprised if you did what the older you intended. With that, the wolf left the room leaving Kenshin lost in thought.

"She walks to school with the lunch she packed/ Nobody knows what she's holdin' back/

Wearin' the same dress she wore yesterday/ She hides the bruises with linen and lace…" A voice trailed in from the hall and Kenshin lifted his head and frowned. It was a lovely song done by an even lovely singer.

"…The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask/ It's hard to see the pain behind the mask/ Bearing the burden of a secret storm/ Sometimes she wishes she was never born/ Through the wind and the rain/ She stands hard as a stone…" The voice continued and Kenshin's interest provoked his limbs to move.

He came to what he thought was one of the smaller rooms of the house but it had so much equipment in it, the room only appeared to be small. Kenshin could see Kat sitting at a black Steinway piano singing her heart out.

"…In a world that she can't rise above/ But her dreams give her wings/ And she flies to a place where she's loved/ Concrete angel…" Kat slid her fingers down the keys unaware that she was being watched.

Kenshin watched as Kat's back splintered and two gleaming white wings, blending into the color of the walls. Only the shadows of the feathers made the wings visible against the walls of the music room.

"…Somebody cries in the middle of the night/ The neighbors hear, but they turn out the lights/ A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate/ When morning comes it'll be too late/ Through the wind and the rain/ She stands hard as a stone/ In a world that she can't rise above/ But her dreams give her wings/ And she flies to a place where she's loved/ Concrete angel …" Kenshin thought that the song seemed to be an inner reflection of her soul and he felt a bit guilty for listening without being welcomed to do so.

"…A statue stands in a shaded place/ An angel girl with an upturned face/ A name is written on a polished rock/ A broken heart that the world forgot/ Through the wind and the rain/ She stands hard as a stone/ In a world that she can't rise above/ But her dreams give her wings…" at this point Kat looked up from the piano keys she was concentrating on. Her golden eyes landed on Kenshin and she didn't look at all surprised to see him standing there. She continued to smile and flipped her hair over her shoulder.

"…And she flies to a place where she's loved/ Concrete angel," Kat finished off the song sinning at the top of her lungs then keying out the last few notes lightly. Her clothes were of modern times, a miniskirt and a tube top with an exquisite choker with two tail-like projections dangling off the part that wrapped around her neck. They waved back and fourth with every movement she made, greatly exaggerating it.

Kenshin then noticed that she was waiting for him to say something. He stood where he was, "I didn't mean to intrude…"

Kat stood from her position and it was only then that he noticed that Kurama and Dark were also in the room. Dark had been standing next to Kat, his black clothing blending in so well with the piano; Kenshin had thought that he had been part of it. Kurama wasn't standing more than three feet away from him. The demon was still in human form but the reason Kenshin hadn't noticed him was because he was asleep on the couch.

"I don't mind. It's not even my song," Kat said. "It's actually by an artist called Martina McBride."

Kenshin nodded even though he had no idea who this was. Dark shifted and eventually joined Kurama on the couch, shoving his dead weight over to the side to make way for him. When Dark realized that there still wasn't any room he glanced at Kat, who sighed and used her powers to make the couch grow about five feet in width. No sooner had she finished when Dark flopped down on top of the white leather.

"Feeling ok Kenshin?" Kat asked as she walked over to him.

"I'm fine…" Kenshin said a little uncertainly. The way Kat said it made it seem as if he really did have something wrong with him.

She stepped closer and threw her arms around him, "You can always tell me when something's wrong you know."

Kenshin placed one hand on the small of her back and drew her closer. The other hand held her head tight against his chest, "I think the question is are you ok?"

Kat rested her chin in the pocket of his collarbone, "I don't know to answer that… I suppose at the moment I'm doing ok."

"I want so much to help you…" Kenshin tired.

"There's nothing anyone can do for me," Kat said. "Don't take it out on yourself for not being able to cheer me up."

"You seem to rub off on everyone around you. It's all we can do from getting caught in your mood."

Kat sighed and felt him stroke her hair the slightest bit. She pulled away, "I think I'm going to join Dark and Kurama on the couch." She didn't invite him to join her and this puzzled him.

Kenshin stole one last look at the mysterious wreak of a woman before disappearing into another room.

Kat walked over to the couch and saw Dark sprawled out on his back, looking a bit like a starfish with his arms and legs splayed out on the leather. She could tell he wasn't asleep, for he would never be caught dead in this position unless he wanted someone to see him. Kat smiled before lying straight on top of him, limbs and all. She felt him squirm beneath her weight but eventually he shifted into a comfortable position and dozed off.

Kat had her ear against his chest and could hear his breathing as well as his stomach growling slightly. 'So tired…'

Eventually Kat fell asleep, her dreams untroubled and her mind far away from anything discomforting.

(A/N: Nice to know we have teachers like that ne (is referring to the note above). Yeah… -- PLEASE REVIEW!!!)
