You're running fast and missing but cannot help
convincing.
The reasons you gave me are all wearing thin.
It's not meant to hurt you but let me assure,
It's not what I said but intentions you've read.

So when you hold onto the past then you
Will break down what little is left.
There's nothing more you can't ignore,
And say it makes no difference to me.

Now that you're older life's weighing on your
shoulders.
You can't seem to keep things so perfectly straight.
With most things so basic you might as well face it.
You can't help but worry it's all just begun

So when you hold onto the past then you,
Will break down what little is left.
There's nothing more you can't ignore,
And say it makes no difference to me.

It makes no difference,
It makes no difference to me,
It makes no difference,
It makes no difference to me

Chapter 4: I Makes No Difference

As Yukari walked down the school hallway looking completely carefree, she spotted one of her victims. She cheerfully skipped up to Dilandau and placed her arm around his shoulders in a friendly way. "Hey Dilly-chan." She spoke her cheerful voice.

Dilandau frowned both inwardly and externally at the 'pet' name Yukari and her friends had given him. "What?" he asked not trying to hide his annoyance.

"I have the solution to your problem." Dilandau stopped walking and raised a silver eyebrow. "Well you know how you need a place to stay while your apartment is getting redone," Dilandau nodded. "Well, you could stay at Hitomi's. She's got plenty of space in her house." Dilandau grinned inwardly. This was the prefect opportunity to get his revenge.

"Great. Thanks Yukari. I'll see you in biology." With said, Dilandau left to let himself work out his plan.

---------------------------

"Hey Hitomi! Can I talk to you in private?" Hitomi looked over her shoulder to see Yukari standing there waiting for an answer.

"Uh sure, what is it?" Yukari led her friend away from the busy hallway to a more secluded part of the school which happened to be in one of the chemistry labs. "Yukari, what is it?" Hitomi asked again fearing it was something serious about her friend.

"Well, you have a lot of room at your house. Doesn't feel lonely there?" Yukari began, trying to figure the best way to tell her friend.

"Yukari, did your parents kick you out?" Hitomi went to embrace her friend but Yukari moved away and shook her head.

"No, but…well… I have this friend and his apartment is getting redone so he needs a place to stay for a while." Hitomi instantly picked up on the 'his' and 'he'.

"He…? Who is it?" Hitomi asked knowing she wasn't going to like the answer.

"ummm… Dilandau."

"No." Hitomi said immediately.

"Oh come on! He really needs a place to stay. If I could, I'd let him stay at my place but you know how my parents are when it comes to boys and me being close." Hitomi stubbornly shook her head. It was bad enough she had to see him everyday at school but outside of school was out of the question. "Okay, I don't know what the past about you two is but could you please grow up? You're almost seventeen! Which means one more year until you're an adult!"

Hitomi rolled her eyes. "Yukari… you've only seen the surface of Dilandau. What he's doing now is all an act. The real Dilandau is the complete opposite. The reason he's acting all nice is to get-" she stopped herself from going further. Hitomi knew had she continued on she'd be stuck telling her friend about Gaea and she really wasn't in the mood to talk about it.

Yukari looked intrigued and raised and eyebrow. "To get what?" Hitomi kicked herself mentally for even saying that. Great, if I tell her revenge she'll want to know what for. She bit her lower lip and tried to find some excuse. Her eyes wondered around the room until they hit the clock.

"Hey, look at the time. I've gotta get to class. Uh, see ya later." Before Yukari could even spout out a word Hitomi was gone. Damn it!

---------------------------

After school Hitomi walked alone to the subway instead of waiting for track practice to be over so she could walk with Yukari. However, what Hitomi didn't know was that Yukari skipped practice so she could get some answers out of her friend. As Hitomi boarded the train she was surprised to see Yukari waiting.

"Don't worry, I'm not gonna ask you about your past but Hitomi, please just let him stay at your house. It won't be long either. It'd probably be only for a week." Hitomi sighed in annoyance and sat down.

"Yukari, no. I will not have that prick in my house."

"Fine, be heartless. Haven't you even heard the phrase 'forgive and forget'? Well I think you should just get over about whatever happened."

"Will you stop bugging me if I say yes?" Hitomi asked with a sigh.

"Yep!" Yukari answered cheerfully.

Hitomi slumped backwards and thought long and hard. What would he try and do if I let him stay at my place? She wondered. I know he won't kill me, fucking bastard… She looked to her right and saw that Yukari was giving her the puppy dog face.

"Fine…he can stay."

"I promise you Hitomi you won't regret this!"

"So when's he moving in?" Hitomi asked in a monotone voice, obviously showing she wasn't too thrilled about it like Yukari was.

"Well he has to be out by Friday so expect him to be there by the latest Friday." Oh goody. I get to start off my weekend with the pyromaniac. What more could a girl ask for? Hitomi thought to herself sarcastically.

---------------------------

The next few days went by quickly, too quickly for Hitomi. Finally Friday came, the day she dreaded the most. After school Hitomi went straight home like usual. After she had changed out of her black and white school uniform she waited patiently for Dilandau to show up.

Finally after waiting was seemed like hours a knock came from the door. Hitomi took in a deep breath and opened it. There stood Dilandau holding a suitcase and a rather large box. He was no longer in his school uniform either. Instead he wore a white wife-beater and a pair of baggy dark denim jeans.

Hitomi said nothing; she was mesmerized by his physique. Never did she imagine that he would look so good. Wow…he looks hot…wait! No he doesn't! He can't. Okay, look away and say something.

"Your room is the first door on the right upstairs." She said quickly. Dilandau walked in and grinned. This is going to be fun.
