Author's Notes: Okay.. Hi guys! Sorry for the really long wait. I've just had a horrid case of writers block, I haven't updated anything recently.
Thank you:
Aino Yuy aka Usagi-Hater : Yes, well, you're already insane, so the dream wouldn't really help, now would it?
Venus of Love: Yeah, it was a really good movie, slightly boring though. jumps for joy along with you Hehe. It could be that. But I think I know what I'm doing now. I have a really good imagination when it comes to that too. Oh well.
Kutabare: Thank you! And I strived to make it disturbing, as rude as that may sound.
Jewels14: Hehe. Yeah, well, the point of the whole "semi-preview".
Chapter Two.
Coldest Eyes, Warmest Heart
Mina tossed and turned in restless sleep.
Children of no older then ten kept laughing and calling out. It was about five minutes into this horrid sight that they started... singing?
"Ring around the rosy..."
Mina screamed. This was too much. They began swaying and circling. Like a ritual.
"Pocket full of posy..."
Tears began falling. What kind of sick humor was this? The children began laughing. They're faces forming into little faces that only the devil could hold.
"Ashes, ashes..."
What did this signify? She just didn't get it!
"We all fall..."
They grinned.
"Down."
Mina awoke in a cold, sweat-glazed horror. This dream had been going on for a week. She sighed, looking at the clock. Six o'clock. Wonderful.
She got up anyway and made her way into her bathroom. She turned the shower on hot, trying to heat herself up. She felt like an ice cube.
After her shower she threw on her school uniform. She glanced at the clock again before applying the tiniest bit on concealer to the dark circles under her eyes. What a perfect way to start my day.
"Heero!" Duo cried as he saw Heero walking up the school's pavement.
After sharing greetings, the boys walked into the school to go to class. But in the middle of their walk, they came upon a sleeping girl, in the middle of a bench. Her hair was slightly in the way of her face, blocking it, but they could sti ll make out who it was.
"Mina?" Duo asked, slightly concerned to why she was sleeping on a bench in a school walkway, but happy to see her.
"Hi guys." She said in a sleepy voice, her eyes half open, and her hair slightly messed up from the ponytail it was originally in; her concealer, however, had completely warn off. The bags under her eyes, were extremely ugly.
"What happened to you Mina? You look like you haven't slept for a month!" Duo said, poking underneath her eye. Mina rolled her eyes.
"It's nothing... really." She said, not meeting any of their eyes. Of course, none of them believed her, except Heero, who was sitting next to her on the bench, clicking away on his laptop, ignoring the rest of them. Showing that he could care less.
Wufei rolled his eyes. "Lets go. I'm not about to be late to class, because some woman couldn't sleep on her own time." With that, he walked away, not caring if someone was following or not.
"He's right. We should get to class," Trowa mused. "But you should probably go to the nurse; you don't look to good."
"Yeah. Let's go. C'mon Heero," Duo said, sad to have to get to class.
Heero shut his laptop and got up, giving Mina a small glance. "You really should go to the nurse, you look like a mess."
"Yeah... thanks."
Well, not the nicest words, but I'm getting somewhere.
Ohhhh. Does Ickle Minakins have a crush? Is that why your so concerned on if he talks to you?
No... Maybe. Who cares. The man is emotionless, so it isn't a big deal.
Mhm...
Mina went to the nurse, as the boys advised, and the nurse told her that she should go home, and get to the doctors as soon as possible, because it wasn't only lack of sleep that was her problem.
Ring, ring, ring...
Mina sighed and picked up her phone, only to hear breathing and a small click; signifying that the person hung up.
Mina dropped her phone. Nothing in her life was adding up anymore, and it wasn't fair.
Hi again. Erm... Sorry for the shortness, and the fact that it seems like a two year old wrote it. Anyway, RR!
