Author's Notes: Hmm. This turned out to be just an information and talking chapter. Oh well. It's important to the story I guess. You wanna learn about Lewa's past don't you? I actually have no idea about Onua's past however. Heh heh. XD!

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters mentioned in this story. They all belong to Lego and/or anyone else who owns them. This fic also contains yaoi, slash, and/or shounen-ai which all mean boy/boy love. If you don't like this sort of thing, I suggest you leave before you hurt yourself. Also, the Toa will be in the human forms that I have created for them and this is pretty much a complete AU. No mention of the Toa will be made during this whole fic so if you're gonna get made about that as well, leave already. The action and the stuff about Mata Nui will be featured in the sequel. XD! (Damn that's a long disclaimer.)

"Always"
By: Green Devil
Part IV "A Hidden Past"

The emerald-eyed youth sighed in frustration. "Can't you tell me anything about him? Cause he sure won't tell me."

"I'm not surprised. He doesn't enjoy discussing his past with every new student that comes here. Who could blame him after what happened though." A boy with short brown hair set in small spikes across the top of his head and dark orange eyes replied with a sigh.

"So you know what happened then." Onua said, more of an observation than a question.

"Yeah I do. Lewa's still my friend even though he acts like he has no one now. The only reason I don't hang around him is cause he's so sad. He doesn't talk to anyone anymore, which makes me wonder why he all of a sudden started talking to you."

"Look Pohatu, I haven't done anything to him if that's what you're implying."

"Yeah, I know. Though, I think the only reason he somewhat opened up to you is because you look almost exactly like Makuta, aside from your eye color anyway."

"Really? Well, I guess that could be a factor, but anyway, please tell me what happened. I'm asking you as a friend. I need to know."

"'Need' is such a strong word. You sure 'want' isn't what you're looking for?"

"Pohatu . . ." Onua growled.

The brown-haired boy sighed in consent. "Fine, but I'm only telling you this cause you're an old friend. If Lewa asks though, you didn't hear it from me."

"Thanks." Onua smiled. Pohatu gestured for him to sit down in the seat across from him and the other did as instructed.

"After Makuta disappeared, Lewa completely closed himself off. He pushed everyone away, denying anyone's attempt at getting in any way close to him. He use to be very happy and carefree. He usually had no reason to be angry or sad, Makuta saw to that personally. I guess you could say he was Lewa's self appointed protector, always dealing with those who tried to hurt Lewa in private so as not to cause him any pain. Though no one was as close to Lewa as Makuta was, he still had other friends, three others plus me."

"So why'd Makuta leave? How could he just abandon Lewa like that?"

"No one knows. One day he just vanished. The police showed up at the school and Lewa was called to the office to be told the news because Makuta was the closest thing to family he had and vice versa. Neither of them had any type of family other than each other. Actually, tomorrow it'll be exactly three years since Makuta's disappearance."

"So I heard. Is that all you know then?"

"It's all you need to know. However, I suggest that you don't let Lewa know that you learned about his past. He doesn't much care for people going behind his back to learn what he doesn't want them to learn."

"Well, thanks for telling me anyway. You're still a true friend and I'm sorry I made you tell me about Lewa. I know how you are about keeping your word." Onua got up to leave.

"Don't worry about it. To tell you the truth, I kinda felt that I had to tell you. Like you were meant to know or something." Pohatu stood as well, backpack in hand. "So where you off to now?"

"I'm gonna meet Lewa actually."

"Don't get too attached Onua. He's waiting for Makuta and won't give up on him." Pohatu warned and left the empty classroom.

Onua sighed. "I wish it were that easy." He replied to himself. "I thought I'd be able to keep my promise, but I didn't think my heart would get this weak. The closer I get to him, the harder it gets for me to keep my word." He whispered sadly. 'How much longer do I have to keep lying to him? I now know for a fact . . .that I love him.' A tear slipped from a closed eyelid and he wiped it away.

Grabbing his bag, Onua left the room and headed for his car. Once there he drove to Lewa's house, different thoughts running through his head all at once. He knew what he wanted to do, but at the same time, knew that he couldn't.
