­Yaten you are so mean! But really what does Peruru think he can do if he can't even stand up and stay awake at the same time?

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

Taiki & Makoto, Rei & Yaten

"I don't think he means what he said." Taiki said to Makoto as they were headed to the library to study for Setsuna's Math test.

"Yeah, but he has stopped talking to her completely. You saw what happen at the hospital." Makoto said. "WE did not know you guys were there visiting Peruru and when we walked in before Usagi could say a word Yaten got up and left." Makoto said.

"I know." Taiki said.

They continued their talk even when they were supposed to be studying. "Taiki it had been almost two weeks since the car accident." Makoto whispered.

"Wow you don't say? It felt like it was yesterday." Taiki replied in a sarcastic way.

"Don't you think we should do something?" Makoto asked.

"Not really." Taiki answered back.

"WHAT!" Makoto raised her voice.

"Quiet please." The Librarian said to Makoto.

"Sorry." Makoto said and she buried her face in her Math book blushing.

"I just do not see any point in getting involved." Taiki said.

"Not any reason? Of course there is." Makoto said.

"I said point not reason." Taiki said. "I know there're many reasons that we should get involved." Taiki added.

"Good." Makoto said as she smiled at Taiki.

"In fact I could probably right a book of all the reasons that we should get involved but there is no point to get involved." Taiki said.

Makoto got quiet and Taiki figured after three minutes that she has given up and accepted it. However he was wrong. "Maybe we can talk to him." Makoto suggested.

"We already tried." Taiki said while he was still reading. "He didn't listen." He added.

"Why don't we make him listen then?" Makoto asked.

"And how are we to do that?" Taiki asked.

"I don't know set him up, get him in another detention, or something. We just have to--" Makoto got cut across by Taiki.

"It will not work!" He raised his voice when he said that.

"If I have to tell you two to quiet down I will throw you out for the rest of the day. So, quiet please." The ­Librarian said to both Taiki and Makoto.

"Sorry." They both said and both blushed from embracement.

Taiki glanced up and saw the hurt look on Makoto's face. He gave sigh and cursed his gentlemen ways as he sat his book down. "I do not like it anymore then you do Miss. Kino." Taiki said.

"Just call me Makoto Taiki." Makoto said.

"Right, Makoto. I don't like it anymore then you do Makoto but if we try to force them together not only will Usagi get hurt even more but Yaten will become more stubborn." Taiki said in a calm manner. "So it is best to let them work this out on their own so that they can get past it." Taiki added and he opened his Math book again and searched for the place he left off at.

"You are right." Makoto finally admitted. "I just wish that there was something we could do or say that would help." She added.

"There is one thing." Taiki said.

"What is it then?" Makoto asked as she stopped reading to listen.

"Tell Usagi to not give up on our brother." Taiki said. Makoto smiled and gave a nod. The two then continued on studying without another word.

Else were Rei had cornered Yaten right in his room and Seiya ended up being stuck there because Rei was blocking the doorway that could get him out. So to avoid the yelling and being drawn into this Seiya got out his walkman, put on his headphones, and sat on his bed with his legs Indian style. He turned his music up and grabbed a school book to act like he was studying.

"You are being stupid!" Rei yelled.

"How am I being stupid? It is not my fault that she is so easy to fool!" Yaten yelled back.

"Just who are you trying to fool!" Rei asked.

"Isn't it obvious?" Yaten asked as he gave a cocky smirk.

"Yes it is if you are fooling yourself!" Rei said. "Yaten what you and Usagi had up until the accident was not something that you were able to do out of harshness." Rei said. Yaten looked away and towards Seiya who was trying like Hell not to look up and get involved.

Yaten turned his attention away from Seiya and looked at Peruru's empty bed. "I wonder when Peruru will be back." Yaten said out loud.

"I don't know." Rei said. She then shook her head. "Don't change the subject you idiot!" She yelled.

"I am not an Idiot! You are!" Yaten yelled back.

Seiya turned his music up but he still could hear them. 'Curse this volume control.' Seiya thought to himself as he was now having to rely on the book he was reading which turned out to be a Science book that he had only realized at that point that he had been trying to read it upside down from the moment he had picked it up. Cursing to himself again he quickly switched the book right side up.

"I am not an idiot!" Rei yelled back for about the twelfth time. "If you would just stop and listen to yourself you would see that what you are doing and how you are acting is stupid!" She added. "I know how--"

"Shut up!" Yaten yelled as he glared at Rei. "You don't know anything about me! So don't try to say you do!" HE added and he then pushed past Rei and ran down the hall and out the door. He didn't even stop when he and Usagi saw each other.

"Hey Yat--" Usagi started to say but was cut off.

"Shut up crybaby!" Yaten yelled.

Back inside Rei was left in the room alone except for Seiya who unknowingly was not looking at his book but at Rei.

"SEIYA!" Rei yelled.

"AH!" Seiya said as he got so startled by the fact that he was noticed that when he picked up his book he dropped it several times before finally managing to keep a grip on it. HE quickly looked back into his book. He didn't even notice that his walkman fell and his headphone came detached from them.

"Seiya?" Rei said.

"Yes what is it?" Seiya asked as he did not looked up from his book.

"Are you insane?" Rei asked as she looked at him puzzled.

"Why would you say that?" Seiya asked as he looked up from his book questionably at Rei.

"Because if you study that way I don't think you will pass any tests in Science.

"Hey! That's a little mean isn't it?" Seiya asked as he gave a puppy look to Rei.

"Not really. I am saying it because you are trying to read your book upside down and listen to music that is no longer heard because your walkman is on the floor." Rei said as she tried to restrain from bursting out in laughter.

"Oh!" Seiya said as he realized this just now. He blushed from embarrassment as he picked up his walkman and turned his book right side up again. "Heh-heh-heh, Thank you Rei." Seiya said.

"No prob. Oh and thank you for not getting involved in what we were arguing about. Even though you had your book upside down that time as well." Rei said and she then walked out of the room leaving Seiya alone.

Seiya plugged in his head phones. "AH!" He yelled as he had forgotten the volume was all the way up. He jumped so much that he fell out of bed and his book flew into the air as he landed on his back on the floor. His feet were still part way on his bed. "Ow that hurt." He said as he started to lift his head up but his head went back down because his Science book landed open on his face. "Hmm interesting." He said as the book was still on his face and again it was upside down.
