Saturn's Spawn, Taeniaea- glad you guys liked it, and thanks for the reviews!
Rei Minamino- i felt like dancing too when i wrote that. for one i mostly have certain types of music on to inspire me. so the music i had on was music you normally hear at a club and stuff. i was all sad cause there's no place around here to dance at though, i'm still to young to go to the clubs.

Disclaimer-don't own anything. well i do own the plot but that's it. oh and Titan, and the youma. k?k. I also don't own the song, that belongs to Relient K.
Warning!- since i'm not pairing Seto up with anyone, he's going to be the cold heartless jerk he is on tv/in the manga. so don't get mad at me for making him how he really is. ok that's all.
88 Last Time 88
Alister cursed himself mentally. He was supposed to stop being her friend, not make her his best. It was hard though. She really seemed to care about him in a way others had never. He really didn't want to lose her, but if she stuck around him, he would. Still, maybe they could be friends for just one more night.
88 This Time 88
I've given up on giving up slowly, I'm blending in so
You won't even know me apart from this whole world that shares my fate
This one last bullet you mention is my one last shot at redemption
because I know to live you must give your life away
A new song came on which made Hotaru smile. She took Alister out onto the dance floor and began to dance with him. At first he was reluctant but Hotaru didn't let him go. They were dancing to Be My Escape by Relient K. (To give you an idea of how they would dance). He smiled after awhile and stopped resisting. It was a dance after all, so it looked like he would have to do just that.
And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity
and I've been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there's no way in knowing where to go,
promise I'm going because
The song fit some to the way he felt. Secretly he was hoping Yami and his friends would stop Dartz again. Then afterwards he and Hotaru could be friends. That is if she still wanted to be. He shuddered at the thought of her finding out what he had done in the past. That might scare her away.
"Alister why'd you stop?" she asked. He blinked then realized he was just standing there.
"Oh sorry. I was just thinking."
"About what?"
He shook his head and smiled at her. "Don't worry about it." he said before spinning her as the song picked up it's speed a bit.
I gotta get outta here
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I gotta get outta here
And I'm begging You, I'm begging You,
I'm begging You to be my escape.
People cheered as one guy started break dancing on the ground. The crowd rushed over to watch. Leaving more room for the two to dance. Both were having a blast. They were glad they had decided to go with each other. It wouldn't have been as fun going alone. Or in Alister's case probably not coming at all. The red head would move with her to the beat of the song. He would twirl her occasionally and joke around too. He always smiled brighter when she laughed.
Seto had passed by the two and stopped. Alister was there with a girl? She was kind of cute, but that wasn't like Alister to be with someone. The blue eyed boy didn't even think Alister could laugh over than evilly. But here he was, laughing and dancing with some girl. This was so not right.
I'm giving up on doing this alone now
Cause I've failed and I'm ready to be shown how
He's told me the way and I'm trying to get there
And this life sentence that I'm serving
I admit that I'm every bit deserving
But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair
The CEO teen walked up to them and smirked. "Well, well. If it isn't Alister,... and his girlfriend?"
Alister and Hotaru stopped dancing. The grey eyed duelist glared at him. "Leave me alone Seto. I don't need you to ruin this dance."
"Um...is he a friend of yours Alister?" Hotaru asked. She was totally lost at what was going on. Alister was about to reply but it was Seto who spoke first.
"Are you stupid girl! Like I could ever be friends with him!" he snapped. Alister stood in front of her protectively.
"Don't talk to her like that!" he growled. Seto was taken back by this. Now he was defending her! This was not the same Alister he knew. Hotaru now understood what was going on. She wrapped her arms around Alister's left one.
"Come on lets go dance somewhere else."
Seto smirked. "Better listen to your date Alister. She might start crying." Hotaru glared at him.
"At least he could get a date you pathetic self-centered jerk!" she cried, then pulled Alister away with her, leaving a very shocked Seto behind.
Cause I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity
and I've been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there's no way in knowing where to go,
promise I'm going because
I gotta get outta here
Cause I'm afraid that this complacency is something I can't shake
I gotta get outta here And I'm begging You, I'm begging You,
I'm begging You to be my escape.
Finally the two were out of sight from the guy. Much to Hotaru's surprise, Alister started laughing. She looked up at him questionably.
"That was great Hotaru! The look on his face when you yelled at him was priceless!" he said, still laughing.
Remembering it also made the violet eyed girl laugh. "I really didn't mean to say it. It just slipped out." Alister shrugged.
"He deserved it. So shall we dance some more?"
Hotaru smiled and nodded. The two picked up where they left off and were once again having fun. The floor vibrated with the music and pounding feet of all the teens, and even some adults.
I am a hostage to my own humanity
Self detained and forced to live in this mess I've made
And all I'm asking is for You to do what You can with me
But I can't ask You to give what You already gave
What Dartz had said passed into Alister's mind. No, he needed to stop this now. If he got any more attached to her it would be even harder. However that memory was quickly covered by the one where he first met her. She had been completely soaked from the rain and was lost. By that one act of helping her, he realized she had helped him in return. She was his escape.
"Oh no.." Hotaru suddenly said.
Alister blinked and tried to follow her gaze. "What?"
"Rei's coming this way. We need to hide." before he could say anything she pulled him behind some people. The raven haired girl passed by them talking to Marik. When they were gone they moved back to there spot.
"Why do we have to hide from your friend?"he asked.
Hotaru sighed. "Cause she doesn't want us to be friends." Alister was surprised. So Hotaru was trying to keep him a secret too. That's when he remembered seeing Rei outside of that restaurant talking with Yugi and the others. They must have told her about him.
He hung his head. "Maybe there's...a good reason for us to not be friends then." the violet eyed girl looked at him in confusion. "Hotaru...I've done some things...that I'm not to thrilled about in the past. I don't think...I deserve to be your friend."
Cause I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity
and I've been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there's no way in knowing where to go,
promise I'm going because
The girl then did something he wasn't expecting. She hugged him. His grey eyes looked down at her in mild shock. Hesitantly he wrapped his own arms around her. A tear escaped her eyes, but she didn't move to wipe it. Instead she looked up at him
"I don't care what you've done. The fact is you need a friend. Everybody's done something in their lives that they regret. The only way to get through all that is to except help from others. Especially when they want to help." she said, then bowed her head.
He was shocked at this. "Hotaru?..."
"...What...I'm trying to say is...I want to be your friend Alister. I want to help you through whatever it is that's holding you back. I want to be there for you when you need me." she was crying now, and it hurt him to see her like this. He lifted her chin up and wiped her tears away.
"Ok...I'll stay your friend, and you can stay mine. Just no more crying." she nodded and wiped her face more. Suddenly Alister began to lean towards her.
I've gotta get outta here
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I've gotta get outta here And I'm begging You, I'm begging You,
I'm begging You to be my escape.
In truth he wanted to cry too, but knew he couldn't. Especially not now. Hotaru's face was an inch away from his. He could feel her warm breathe on him as he moved closer. Both closed their eyes, their lips were just about to meet. However that never happened.
"Hello Alister." came a cold voice behind them. The grey eyed duelist quickly pulled back and both turned to see a rather smug looking Dartz standing there.
Spirit- Damn you Dartz! you ruined the moment! did you like the song though? i thought it fit the conflict.
Tenshi-yes,...what's Dartz going to do now?
Spirit-ah you'll have to wait and see. if you lovely readers wish to know to, then please Review! Ja ne
Death
