Rebirth

White Eyes- Gackt

Space catches the lunatic moon,
cradling it in both hands, in fear
until my voice reaches,
dawn will not be welcome

all your words...
all your mannerisms...
they were still too fragile for me

you never touched the hand I held out to you.
I gave you a kiss, you, so cold
no matter how many times I scream out your name,
no one can erase the sadness accumulating around me

I trembled, amidst this sin
of continually making even our finding one another,
into a mistake

all my feelings...
all my heart...
still remembers you even now.

You, who so loved the sky at dawn,
in the end you showed those tears in the light,
you showed me, just who you were.

Oh mounting sadness no one can stop,
Fall forever for all I care! Deeper!
It doesn't matter how you make us suffer,
it won't tear us apart!
Until this body rots, it won't be taken by anyone!

Oh my one and only, fly high into the air
held by the earth turning a silver shade
Whenever I look up, you'll be smiling
and one day, we'll meet again in this sky

Ch.10- Cant We All Just Get Along?

"Wait a second... so your saying it was you who spiked the drink?" She asked.

"Yeah."

"You who I was dancing with?"

"Uh huh."

"And it was you who ate the last of Dennies sack?" she asked, outraged.

"...no." he looked amused after thinking for a second. Last night wasn't exactly a clear partying night for him, either.

"Nevermind, then... but hey, dont feel bad, im impressed you actually got as far as kidnapping me, plus you aren't that bad of a dancer... but whats with the coffee?" she asked. "You know I cant exactly drink anything when my hands are chained together."

He shrugged, and couldn't keep from grinning. This woman looked almost exactly like how he would look as a woman, from her eyes even to her hair- although she didn't have hers strait and were actually in these thin dreads- it did have that samemurky red shine to it and although her eyes weren't slitted, they were purple and thin like his. Her orobouros on her right hand (his is on his left) had been hidden by a pair of fingerless black leather gloves, which he had placed besides her during the night before. He had to stop himself from stealing the alluring jewelry she had decorated on her neck, ankles, wrists, and a emerald laiden headband. She wore mostly emeralds, but also had diamond rings and anklets. The most valuable thing she would have, though, would be the blue crystal choker she wore gracing her neck.

He had been waiting patiently for her to spot the likeliness of them both, as he had done all but wave his own red tattoo in front of her face.

And knowing Greed, he wasn't very patient, and this girl was trying his so he had to give it to her straight... luckily, she did it for him, practically reading his mind.

"Alright, thats it, enough acting dumb. I know what you are and you know what I am. The important matter is who you are," she stated, leering at him for an answer.

He never let the grin escape his surprised face. "The names Greed, who are you then?" he asked.

She seemed surprised. "What? no. Your not greed, I am," she said, almost laughing.

He seemed to come to a conclusion. Maybe she was indeed Greed, maybe they both were. She seemed to have the same conclusion since she nodded understandingly.

Deciding he could trust her (since Greed is just a trusting person!) he reluctantly goes around her and unlocks the heavy chains.

Kali's mind was boggling. So many things she was thinking of right now. Sloth, Wrath, Riley, who her new roommate would be, and all about her new job," she couldn't begin to describe the surprise she had as she entered the barracks, opening door 226 to look to the right, where one of the navy blue beds were, to see Riley herself reading a light blue book- look up and turn a ghastly color, emotions of anger and equal surprise playing on her face. She was wearing a white military pajama outfit.

"YOU!" they both said at the same time.

Riley stood up, shoving the book underneath her pillow she approacher Kali, enraged.

"I have to share a room with you? ah! what is that?" Riley asked, pointing at the fluffy thing hanging out of Kali's small pack.

Kali pulled it out. She had almost forgotten about him.

"Its Mr.Fluffikins!" Kali said, happy to see the old fluffy stuffed cat again.

"Mr...fluffi...kins...? you aren't thinking about keeping that old thing in the room, much less sleeping it in your bed, are you? do you know how much fungi is probably on that?" Riley asked, poking it with her pinky, it made a weird noise. "AND DID IT JUST GROWL AT ME?" she asked, her face disortered as she stepped back.

Kali just sighed and rolled her eyes, tossing him on her bed, she began to unpack her little belongings that she had. She had a whole rock collection, at least three more of every rock to use for a transmutation, inside her drawer of her table complete with a lamp. She noticed that inside was a bible, toothpaste, a toothbrush, and mini shampoo and conditioner, she hadn't checked the second-bottom-and last drawer yet.

"I know. Its like staying at mothers hotel, again." Riley said without looking up from her book she seemed to be writing in.

Kali shrugged and picked up the black bible. It was odd. She's never really been brought up with a religion in particular. She hasn't even thought of what lies beyond death, really.

Thinking of death made her think of dying in which made her think of Sloth, she didn't know why, she just did. That was when she began to cry.

She really didn't mean for herself to cry. She didn't even know tears were coming out untila warm tear hit and splattered against the bible she was holding. She sniffled and then wished she hadn't since Riley looked up, causing Kali to dig her face into her kimono shirts long sleeve, drying her tears.

She prepared herself for any form of teasing from Riley across the room, but when none came she peeked up above her arm and was thankful that Riley seemed to be busying herself with her book and didn't look at her again as she forced herself to stop crying.

She placed back the bible and shut the drawer, taking out the next item, a picture of her "foster" parents.

She didn't truly hate them. Hate isn't really the word she would use to describe. She dislikes Dylan, her "father", for hitting her when she was smaller and as she got older just chose to get drunk and yell at her instead... and she disliked Mullie for letting him and just acting like nothing was happening. At least they took care of her and didn't let her go hungry. She was thankful for that, at least.

She felt Riley looking in her direction in the corner of her eye, looking over she knew she had caught her, even though she had looked away immediately... maybe it was what she had said earlier... about being adopted.

She looked at Dylan. A chubby-built man with dusty hair of light brown and dull brown eyes, holding Mullie, a woman with long curly blonde hair and pinkish grey eyes, she was much more skinnier than Dylan and was grinning up at him in the picture, it had been their honeymoon. She had stayed with the next door neighbor for that week, her children... well, she had two daughters... and I wouldn't exactly call them Kali's 'friends'.

She turned the picture away. She wanted them there, just not looking at her. It brought back too many memories she didn't want to remember.

Reaching in for the last of her posessions was a silver hair comb with light purple and blue designs up and down the top, on either side was a diamond the size of her thumb. She opened the last drawer, which held her uniform and a pair of pajamas, and placed it beneath it, shutting the drawer. This seemed to be the time Riley wanted to speak.

"Earlier. That transmutation, it took over the ice and every other element there... was it only coating it using the elements of the mountain, or did you truly transmute everything from inside out?" she asked. Her book had disappeared again, she was leaning against the verticle part of the bed, facing Kali and leaning against the wall with her knees in front of her. She seemed unusually intrested.

"Uhm... well, actually, im not quite sure exactly what happened myself..." Kali admitted. Truthfully, she didn't.

Riley didn't seem convinced, but instead of pressing the issue turned off her lamp and turned over to face the wall without covering up.

Kali frowned at her sleeping figure before changing into her pajamas, shutting off the light and going to sleep, snuggling under with Mr. Fuzzikins.

'Could have at least said good night.'

Ch.11- Mass Murder

Time Will Tell- Utada Hikaru

I'm always told that
Crying won't change anything
But no one cries with that purpose in mind

I worry and I just can't help it
I just can't control the time
Take off into the blue sky
From this long runway!

Time will tell
When time passes we'll understand
Cry, it's ok if you don't try so hard
When time passes we'll understand
Cry, there's no hard road to tomorrow
Surely, surely, surely

Even if there's rain, if we fly above the clouds
Always blue sky
Even the sun seems so close
Like you could grab it with your hand

Don't get depressed alone
We just can't control the time
Take off into the blue sky
From this long runway!

Time will tell
When time passes we'll understand
Cry, now I can't even fool myself with these excuses
Time will tell
When time passes we'll understand
Cry, so now it's ok to cry if I feel like it
More, more, more

Time will tell
When time passes we'll understand
Cry, it's ok if you don't try so hard
When time passes we'll understand
Cry, there's no hard road to tomorrow
Surely, surely, surely
