A/n Hey, I'm back again. Here is the latest chapter of YEWYD! Last time, we left Zim and Gaz going to the movies, but what's this? Zim is acting like a jerk? Gaz is actually hurt? Who is the figure in the shadows…wait, you already know who that is. Why is Dib's head so big? Why am I telling you this? You should be reading!

Disclaimer: I don't own Invader Zim. I wish I owned Jhonen Vasquez, cuz then I'd own it, but I don't.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Chapter 6:

"I'm Sorry."

Dark alley ways loomed over a pair of teenagers as they walked through the night, one lagging behind another. Golden eyes opened to bring in more light to her eyes, watching the figure in front of her.

Gaz sighed silently. Zim was back to normal; well, normal as in a bad way. The human girl pulled her trench coat tighter over her freezing shoulders as the wind blew. Zim still walked on ahead, his green skin giving off a spooky aura in the darkness. Gaz shivered once more, and then walked on.

Zim was determinedly trying not to look at the human girl behind him. He saw the hurt in her eyes when he practically called her ugly.

I shouldn't care…she's just the Dib-worm's little sister…she's nothing to worry about…

Then why'd you take her in when her father died? A little voice inquired.

Because…I wanted to make Dib-human suffer! If he finds out his sister is sleeping over at my home, he'll die in his dirty hospital bed! Zim mentally retorted.

And you're willing to cause her more grief?

Well—

Face it; you don't want to hurt her.

I'M AN INVADER! INVADERS NEED NO ONE—

Is that why you're alone? All alone on this filthy planet? The voice replied angrily. YOU ARE NOT AN INVADER! The tallest abandoned you. All you used to know was a lie. They left you for death, and threw you away like a piece of shit.

Zim felt a shock of reminded realization shoot through his mind. The annoying little voice was right. He was alone. All alone on a stupid little planet named Earth.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dib flipped through the channels of the cheap television set of his hospital room. He had been in this stupid hospital for about 3 weeks now, and like hell, he was bored.

He had been holed up, having doctors run tests on the burns he had received from the laser of Tak, but of course, they wouldn't listen to him when he tried to explain that he was attacked by an alien.

Dib slumped back into his pillow. It had been a mere 3 hours ago he saw Tak outside his window. She still had the same Goth look she had all those years ago, but had…ahem matured.

Dib shook his head, wincing slightly, as dirty thoughts filled his big head. That crazy alien chick nailed him to a wall, killed his father, and practically ruined his house. She was insane, she was mental, she was…

Dib paused his reminiscing for a moment.

"Amazingly sexy."

----------------------------------------------------------

"You could at least look at me now." Said a very agitated Gaz as she continued to walk behind a certain disgruntled Zim. He had a glazed look in his eyes as they approached the theater. The green boy ignored her as he jogged up to the ticket window, only to find that all the tickets were sold out.

"WHAT! STUPID EARTH-THEATRE SLAVES! YOU DARE GET SOLD OUT BEFORE THE ALMIGHTY ZIM!" Zim yelled, and a few surprised people stared at him startled. Gaz smacked her forehead, walked up behind Zim, and smacked him so hard on the back of his head, his contacts popped out.

"Well sir—WHOA! WHAT THE FUCK? WICKED COOL CONTACTS! Where'd ya get them?" Eagerly asked the pimply-faced teenager as he observed Zim's blood-red eyes. Zim blinked and lightly touched the surface of his left eye.

"He had an operation. We'll just go." Gaz said as she grabbed Zim's gloved hand and walked away into the night. The confused alien boy kept poking his eye and was vaguely aware that Gaz was dragging him away from the theater. Gaz glanced at the green teen and rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"Wouldja quit poking your eye? Sheesh." Gaz murmured as she turned down a dark alley way. Lights were shutting off one by one as the two teens sped their pace through the shadows. The crickets slowly stopped chirping and it became dead silent.

Zim finally got enough sense to stop poking his eye to realize his blood red orbs were no longer hidden. Gaz turned to Zim, only to see him screaming like a howler monkey deeper into the night.

"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Zim had his arms up into the air and was running full speed in some random direction. Gaz stared, stupefied, until she snapped out of her shock to run after him.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Tak swung her legs freely on top of the nearest skyscraper. She was out of her Goth disguise, and her purple orbs scanned the area until her eyes telescoped on two organisms running through the streets.

Tak stared blankly. Her eyes were clouded, and her body twitched involuntarily. A dark figure stepped slowly behind her and lightly put a hand on the alien girl's shoulder.

"Kill them"

Tak blinked as pain swelled in her eyes.

"I don't want to."

The figure whirled the Irken female around and brought her up to their level. Tak weakly tried to pull the fingers away from her throat. She was choking.

Grey eyes seemed to laugh at her as the shadow pressed the metal lobe on Tak's forehead. The girl stopped struggling, and the hand released her body, causing it to plummet to the city below.

"You don't have a choice."

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Zim's chest heaved in and out when he reached the confines of his freakishly shaped abode. Gir was sitting on the couch, eating a taco while he watched the scary monkey show.

"GIR! EMERGENCY! A HUMAN HAS SEEN A BREAK IN MY DIGUISE!" Zim frantically yelled as the SIR unit's eyes turned red and saluted.

"Gir. If the Gaz comes to the door, do not let her in. I repeat, DO NOT LET HER IN! Understand?"

"I do." Said the little SIR unit as his eyes turned back to green. He stood in front of the door and looked through the little mail slot.

"I love this show…"

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Gaz Membrane stepped up to the door of her temporary home. She grasped the door handle and walked inside, only to find a certain little robot in her way. Gir blinked up at her with huge green eyes, and started to cackle like a psychopath.

"I AM WATCHING THE DOOR!" Gir yelled as he stood up and stuck his head in the toilet. Gaz's eyes blinked open, and she turned to the secret trashcan lab entrance.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Zim watched the screen as static continued to run. He was dead bored, and had nothing else better to do.

"On Irk, I would probably be exiled to Foodcourtia again. That would suck." Said the young Irken to no one in particular.

"Well, on Earth, you'd probably just get grounded if you had parents, but you don't." Gaz peeked her head over Zim's shoulder.

"Can't you leave me alone?" Zim said grudgingly as he glared at her from the corner of his eye. The creepy girl smirked at Zim, only to make him glare at her more.

"If you wanted me to leave you alone, you'd just end up talking to me the next day."

"Or I'd just kick your ass out the door."

A golden eye twitched.

"Are you implying the fact that I'm weaker than you are?"

Green lips twisted into a grin.

"Maybe."

Gaz sighed. She cracked her knuckles and twisted her neck. She dropped her head and fell silent. Zim, noticing the silence behind him, turned around and peered through Gaz's violet locks.

"You should be running."

--------------------------------------------------------------

Tak walked through the shadowy streets, black boots scraping against the black gravel. She held the buzz saw in her trembling fingers, and was heading towards her first unwanted victim.

Tak looked up at the hospital window. An unknown force activated her PAK and made her scale the slippery walls of the dark building. Once she reached her destination, one of her spider legs cut a hole in the window, and she made her way inside the blackened room.

Dib was sleeping peacefully under the covers. His glasses were on the bedside table, and it allowed the Irken girl to see his true face. His face was subtle, and his hair plastered his sweaty forehead. His pale lips whispered a single name:

"…Tak…"

Antennae perked up at the sound of her forbidden name. Her hand shook as she raised the jagged blade over the lithe body of the boy in his deathbed.

A single tear dripped from her eyes and slid down to her lips. The tear fell onto Dib's head.

"I'm sorry."
