Key to my Heart
Chapter 6 - Oh You Did Not!
¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥
About a week later D-Tent was sitting in the Mess Hall eating a questionable substance. Key, Zero and Caveman were sitting a little way apart from the group and were talking quietly. Not at all a rare occurrence as of late. Magnet, the only other D-Tenter Key would talk to sat, looking worried at her when Squid decided to be a dumbass.
"Key... Key... Key!" Squid coaxed. When Key didn't reply, Squid took a piece of mystery meat and put it in his spoon he pulled back and flung it at Key. It landed on her shoulder.
Her eye twitched.
"Did you just throw mystery meat at me?" she asked calmly, slowly turning to face Squid.
"Erm... No?" Squid questioned.
"I think you did."
"Fine. I did."
"Oh you did not!" Key cried picking up a piece of mystery meat off her tray and throwing it at Squid. It hit him on the cheek.
"Ha," she smirked.
Magnet smirked. "Ha ha... She got you!"
Squid glared and picked up a handful of what appeared to be potatoes and flung it at Magnet. It landed in his hair.
Magnet gasped. "I can't believe you did that!" He picked up a carrott and threw it at Squid. But it missed. And hit some poor, unsuspecting A-Tenter in the back of the head. And an all out food fight was started.
Key was laughing for the first time in a couple of weeks. She grabbed a fistfull of of mystery meat and threw it. It went soaring over the tables and landed on the poor, unsuspecting... Warden.
"Oh... Crap..."
"You are so dead," Magnet muttered.
"Key, if you would come with me please," the Warden said calmly.
Key gulped and stood up, following the Warden into her nice, air-conditioned cabin.
"Now I'm not sure what was going on in there, but Mr. Sir tells me it was you who started it," the Warden had begun to paint her nails.
"Um... Actually ma'am it was Squid, but I'll take the blame if that's what you want," Key said, shrugging.
"Sticking up for Squid? Not at all what I expected after how you've been acting this past week," the Warden said, finishing her first hand. "Stand up."
Key obeyed and the before she knew what was happening, the Warden had hit her, twice, and she now had to scars, one going from the top right side of her face to the left corner of her lip. The other going from the right corner of her left eye going to her right jawbone.
"Get out of my cabin," the Warden snarled.
Key quickly obeyed, walking quickly out of the cabin and back to the tent. Once she entered she saw the entirety of D-tent sitting there staring at their hands. When they heard key enter they all looked up.
"Wow... Key... I'm so sorry..." Squid mumbled.
"¿Es usted aceptable?" Magnet asked, putting his arm around her shoulders. ((Are you okay?))
"Vivire," Key shrugged. ((I'll live.))
Magnet frowned but took a step back from her.
Key looked questioningly at Zero before turning and walking back out of the tent.
She wandered around the desert for awhile, doging holes and singing quietly to herself.
"Boku-tachi wa ikiru hodo ni
nakushite'ku sukoshi zutsu
itsuwari ya uso wo matoi
tachisukumu koe mo naku."
"That's nice," Zero's voice said form behind her. "What's it mean?"
Key laughed. "I'm not sure actually. I'm not so good with the speaking of the Japanese. I know the song is called Fukai Mori, or Deep Forest but other than that I'm pretty much lost."
Zero smiled and walked up to her. "Are you really okay? It looks like it really hurts..."
"It doesn't hurt so much if I'm outside. Besides, now I'll have a really cool scar when it heals!"
Zero and Key laughed and Key sat down with her feet dangling in a hole. Zero sat next to her.
"So how much longer are you here ofr?" Zero asked.
"A couple of months... I'm not sure actually," Key answered. "How about you?"
"A month," Zero answered.
"Where did you live before CGL?"
"Wherever. I can't remember the name of the otwn actually... You?"
"New York, New York!" Key smirked.
"Really? I wish I lived there," Zero said, wistfully
"Really? There's lots of gang activity there... Trust me on that one. It's kinda... really dangerous."
"Yeah, but you live there. I might actually have a friend," Zero said, ooking anywhere but at Key.
"But doesn't Stanley live where you do? He's your friend, right?"
"Yeah, I guess that's true," Zero said.
They were silent for a moment and key began to sing again, this time in English.
"We live our lives
wandering to the ends of the earth.
Closing off
the way back,
we walk on for eternity."
Zero took a deep breath. "Yomi?"
"Yeah huh?"
"I love you."
"...Oh..."
