It's the little things that sneak beneath the sky. I took my baby's breath beneath the chandelier with stars and atmosphere and watched her disappear. Into the midnight show. Faster. Faster.
The Killers, they're the new Placebo! GLAM ROCK……!……!……!..
I think sufficiently scared myself enough. :)

CHAPTER SEVEN
THE REVENGER AND AVENGER
After that momentous night at the club, Seamus finally sucked it up and asked me to be his girlfriend, I of course accepted and then made him buy me ice cream for being such a lazy sod.
Life after that was very pleasant and touchy feely, not that I really minded, so maybe it wasn't some fairytale romance or something, but those were overrated anyway.
0o0o0o0
I smiled contentedly as I woke up from my daily nap in AP History, the teacher being a lanky old man who droned on and on and looked like he might inhabit the school, Mr. Binns never really looked at his classes only following a seating chart he had made 15 years ago and not changed the names of.
"My, my someone's all smiles today." said Blaise smugly.
"Mmm?" said Duo waking up from his coma, during which, Wufei had been throwing things at his head and in his long braid, he had also snored like a lawnmower as Blaise was displeased to note.
I stuck my tongue out at her, "Do you have a problem with my smile? The happy bunnies and jumping froggies didn't mind."
Wufei snorted and began construction on his rubber band catapult, "I'm sure they turned into zombie hamsters and pickled toads out of sheer bliss."
After that Wufei was spitting glue out of his mouth.
OoOoO
At lunch, which was noisy as usual, after kissing Wufei hello Ginny asked, "Why do you taste like glue?"
Wufei snorted and looked at me and I said with all seriousness, "It was the zombie bunnies and pickled froggies, I swear."
The four of us who shared that table in history burst into raucous laughter.
"Don't ask." said Parvati sagely
Ginny just shrugged and began flicking the crusted glue pieces off of Wufei's jeans but was rudely interrupted by her brother Ron storming up to their table, mad as a raging bull.
"What do you think you're doing?" he said nostrils flaring.
Wufei blinked up at him, he sighed and said, "Weasley am I going to have to explain a relationship to you again?"
Ron just looked like a tomato, "You see when two people like each other they get together and have a relationship. Do you know what a relationship is?" he said patronizingly.
"Why you little-"
"Just because I am a whole half an inch shorter than you doesn't mean you should keep bringing it up. Are you trying to make up for your pathetic GPA by telling yourself you have flesh to spare? Or are you overcompensating for something else?" Wufei smiled nastily.
Duo and Heero were leaning against each other for air, yes I wrote Heero, "That was cold." remarked Prem.
"Wufei will only take so much until he gets bitchy." said Rei thoughtfully.
"Remember that time in kindergarten?" asked Quatre.
"I don't, let me in on it." I said.
FLASHBACK NORMAL POV
Chibi Wufei and Chibi Heero were playing in the sandbox, a green dragon clutched in Wufei's fist and a Super Soaker 3000 he had traded Heero his sword for in the other.
Heero was examining his acquisition; it was a rubber sword that could be pushed into itself to create the illusion of it sinking into flesh. Heero briefly wondered if Chibi Zechs was dumb enough to fall for this trick.
The general peace that the two children was interrupted by Chibi Duo bursting into their bubble, "Gwah!" he cried as he hid behind Wufei.
"Whaddya mean Relena's back from the flu?" demanded Wufei cutely.
"Mao!" said Duo in reply.
"That dumb onna tried to cut your hair?" demanded Wufei again, so kawaii!
"Hn!" said Heero desperately.
"He's right." said Chibi Trowa, who blended in with the trees so well in his green sweatshirt
"AAAHHHH!" came the shouting of Chibi Quatre.
"HN!" said Heero in horror.
"Q-ball what did she do to you?" asked Duo, distressed, chewing on the end of his braid.
"WAH! There was some sticky junk and then the sparkly goo and then the ribbons! WAAAHHH!" said he as Quatre "died."
"Q-ball? Speak to me! NOOOOOOOO!" shouted Duo clutching at Quatre's, now pink, shirt.
"War." said Heero gravely.
"…!" said Trowa enthusiastically.
"I'm in."
"Me too!"
And so the march began, the four chibi boys against Relena the girl, ewwww.
Wufei was very good at this game.
Heero was in the middle of filling up his spare Super Soaker 4500 when Relena tacked him from behind with a hug.
"HN!" wailed Heero in distress.
Wufei seeing his friend's quandary grabbed his old sword and a squishy looking bug and called "Hey, dumb, stupid, girl!"
Temporarily looking up from her prey…er…Heero, she was caught unawares and Wufei threw the bug in her hair.
There was a brief five minutes when Relena was dancing around trying to get the bug out of her hair, after that Wufei began sticking his head with the play sword.
And so the battle was won by who else? Our kawaii G-boys of course!
END FLASHBACK NORMAL POV
"That was the day Wufei and I became friends." said Heero.
"I see why." said Blaise amusedly.
"What? At five that was momentous." he said defensively.
"I didn't say anything." said Blaise wisely.
"What did you say!" bellowed Ron.
Wufei sighed, "I said your dick is as big as your IQ."
Ron lunged at Wufei, who stuck a fist in his face stopping him, holding his nose in pain, "I'm going to get you-"
"Ron shut up." said Ginny crossly as she stormed off.
"Look what you did." said Ron accusingly.
"No that's what you did, but I get to go comfort her." Wufei smirked and stuck his hands in pockets and lazily walked away.
As the attention around the almost fight dispersed and our group went back to our inane conversations we were interrupted yet again.
By Relena.
"What exactly are you doing?" she asked disdainfully.
I blinked, "Eating?" Seeing her stare, "Sitting?", "Talking that's the one right?"
Finally she rolled her eyes and left, "Awesome." said Duo giving me a high five.
"Is she gone?" asked Heero materializing from behind Trowa.
"How do you do that?" I asked in awe.
"We've been trying to figure that out for years." said Duo.
When Seamus slid into the seat next to me I never noticed the hateful eyes watching us.
OoOoOoO
"Do you have the pictures?" asked a voice harshly.
"Yes."
"Which ones?"
"The originals and the altered."
"Let's see then."
"Do you have your end of the bargain?"
"Yes, now give me the pictures." said the voice impatiently.
"As the queen wishes."
"I'm done with you." said the voice, clipped.
The other person shrugged and left, "You're going down this time, bitch." muttered the voice madly.
OoOoO
I hummed to myself as I opened my locker at the end of the day, I was going to meet up with Seamus after school.
As I put my books away a picture fluttered to the floor, I bent down to pick it up and my good mood came crashing down like a faulty elevator.
It was a picture of Seamus and another person, kissing, that person wasn't me.
"Mina." said Relena from behind me.
Turning around slowly, "Yes?" I said brokenly.
"Did you find out?" she asked gently.
"About?"
"Seamus." she said sympathetically.
I took a deep breath, "What about him?"
"I saw him Mina, with another girl, they were making out." she said gently.
"I'm so sorry for you Mina, if you need anything let me know."
I nodded numbly.
Counting stars wishing I was okay Crashing down was my biggest mistakeI blindly made my way to the bathroom, which was deserted.
Picking up the pieces of a life you've brokenStitching it together with the seams wide open
You keep crying, crying, crying
Till you cannot see at all
You keep crying, crying, crying,
Till you cannot breathe at all
Leaning over the sink I sobbed brokenly.
What do you do when you're alone?What do you do when no one's home?
Out of control, now on your own.
I thought he was different, story of my life.
I'm so tired of being hereSuppressed by all of my childish fears.
I wish that you would just leave
Because your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone.
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase.
Lita was led to the abandoned bathroom by the sound of crying.
"Mina, what happened?" she asked worriedly.
I was too shattered to form words, Lita seemed to understand this as she let me sob on her shoulder.
Totemo ureshikatta yo / kimi ga warai kakede taSubete o tokasu hohemi de
Haru wa made tokute / tsumetai tsuchi no naka de
Me fuku toki o matte tandaAs my sobs subsided into hiccups Lita handed me a small bag and left me alone with my thoughts.
Tatoeba kurushii kyo da to shite moKinou no kizu o nokoshite ite mo
Shinjitai / kokoro hodo ite yukereto
Umare kawaru koto wa dekinai yo
Dakedo kawatte wa ikeru kara
LET'S STAY TOGETHER / itsumo
Boku dake ni waratte / sono yubi de / nee sawatte
Nozomi bakari ga hateshinakuLooking at my reflection in the mirror, I saw that little girl again, that left out, all alone little girl, who smiled to chase the sorrow away.
Yasashiku shitai yoMou kuyanu youni
Nageki no umi mo koete ikou
Tatoe kurushii kyo do shite mo
Itsu ka atatakana omoide ni naru
Kokoro goto subete nage daseta naraOpening the make up bag I began the slow task of cleaning up the mess that was currently me.
Koko ni ikiteru imi ga wakaru yoUmare ochita yorokobi o shiru
LET'S STAY TOGETHER itsumo
Tatoeba kurushii kyo da to shite mo
Itsu ka atatakana omoide ni naru
Kokoro goto subete nage daseta nara
Checking myself once more in the mirror, my change was done, I was more cynical, and wiser.
Now I find myself in question
They point the finger at me again
Guilty by association
You point the finger at me again
I had learned a valuable lesson, one which I would never repeat.
I woke up in a dream today
To the cold of the static / and put my cold feet on the floor
Forgot all about yesterday
Remembering I'm pretending to be where I'm not anymore
A little taste of hypocrisy
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake / slow to react
Even though you're so close to me
You're still so distant / And I can't bring you back
As I stepped out of the bathroom, more calm and composed than before, I walked over to Lita who was waiting for me by the water fountain.
"Let's go." I said hoarsely.
Miss guarded heartMiss play it smart
Miss if you want to use that line you better not start, no.
Miss independent
Miss self sufficient
Miss keep your distance
Miss unafraid
Miss out of my way
Miss don't let a man interfere, no
Miss on her own
Miss almost grown
Miss never let a man help her off her throne
So by keeping her heart protected
She'd never ever feel rejected
Little miss apprehensiveI didn't say a word as Lita pulled out of the parking spot and sped off.
Turning to me, "We're going to the mall." She said in a tone that left no room for argument, which was fine, I had a new credit card to break in anyway.
Lay me down,
Emotion's overrated now.
Wait around,
If the fire's there put me out.
I've been searching deep down in my soul
Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old
It feels like I'm starting all over again
The last three years were just pretend
And I said,
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything that I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold onto
The one thing that I tried to hold onto.
END PART 1So sad, this story is so easy to get lost in, I'll just sit down at the computador and just start typing and I won't even realize how the time flies by.
My old computer is getting such a workout.
Sigh, I broke the happy couple up.
A plot twist, that's what they say, I'm so tired, this chapter was finished over the course of this week and that's why it took so long, I haven't had time to sit down and write.
I have two projects, a test, a Spanish proficiency, an appointment to get braces, and a Confirmation to get to.
I am going to be so busy.
I'll give the reviewer who guesses all the songs in this chapter correctly, by the way they are not mine!
Two prizes for the reviewer who guesses where the song in Japanese is from.
Prizes are chapters faster and dedications.
Oyasumi nasai. V
Oh the translation to help you out.
I was so happy, you were laughing
With a smile that melts everything away
Spring is still far away, inside the cold earth,
Waiting for the time to sprout
For instance, even if today is painful
And yesterday's wounds remain
I want to believe I can free my heart and go on
I cannot be reborn
But I can change as I go on, so
Let's stay together always.
Smile only at me and touch me with those fingers
This simple desire is everlasting
I want things to be simple
Let's finally get across this sea of mournful sorrow
For instance, even if today is painful
Someday it will be a warm memory
If you leave everything up to your heart
I understand the meaning of our living here
It is to know the joy of having been born
Let's stay together always
Chapter finished: 7:00 PM.
Seishuku Shinimegami- Hmmmm, the punk is coming.
NixiNox- Ding DING DING!
SachiNyoko- Do like stories where the senshi betray Usa and force her to go to another world? Cause those don't make sense to me, if the senshi sacrificed their chances at normal lives, and lives to protect Usa why would they betray her?
