Loud stereos played heavy heavy metal while Kazuichi worked on some big ass machine. It was silent, except for the song playing in the background. The sound of the music kept playing, while I just handed him tools he needed. I was perched upside down, munching on a cookie. My eyes were half-lidded and I barely chewed on his treat. Kazuichi kept his eyes trained on the machine. He was staring at the part he had just placed on. He looked at it like he knew it would blow up in his face, but wasn't sure when.

"Kazuichi... I'm bored." I said with a yawn, hanging the wrench. "Leto go out and have some fun, or get something to eat." I suggested.

At that moment, the machine was done, in my eyes, but not in his. Of course he was the Ultimate Mechanic...

"We'll go eat once you talk." Kazuichi shot back as he looked up at me. "Tell me what you know of Princes Sonia!?" He commanded, pointing up at me.

"Really! That's borderline stalking. I cant tell you without her permission, and vice versa, because it is creepy, and she doesn't seem all that interested in you." I said, and he was surprised by what I said.

"I done believe you, yes its creepy..." He went silent at that. "I just, always dreamed of a pretty girl." he said with a blush.

"You have to change if you want her to like you, but even then, would it be real?" I informed, gaining his attention as he looked away from me with a thoughtful look on his face.

An awkward silence had fallen on us. "So...now what?" He asked, with our stomach's rumbling. "Want to go get something to eat?" He asked, looking at me with a depressed look. I nodded in agreement and started walking while him to find the closes place to grab a bite.

Later, Mc D's

"Lets see, a Big Mac meal for six hundred forty sex yen." I said, thinking about what I wanted. "Then there's the double quarter pounder, which is six hundred thirty yen." I said, scratching my chin. "Hey Kazuichi, what are you getting?" I asked, looking at him over my shoulder.

"I'll go with the double quarter pounder, with cheese." He said, looking up at the menu. "Speaking of, you do know how much all this is, right?" He asked, looking at me.

I know that five dollars is close to six hundred yen." I said, looking at him. "I know how to count yen, and I have plenty on me." I said, looking back at the menu. "I'll take a Big Mac meal, easy on the salt for the fries, Large." I said, looking over my shoulder at Kazuichi.

"Double Quarter Pounder for me, Large as well." He said, reaching out to pull out him wallet.

"I got this." I said, taking mine out before him. "How much?" I asked, getting ready to count my yen up.

"One thousand, two hundred seventy seven yen." She said, with me grabbing it and handing it over to her, with her placing two large cups in front of us. "Your number will be Twenty Nine, well call you when its ready." She said as we went to go fill up our cups.

I watched as Kazuichi filled his up with Root Bear, while I filled mine up with Powerade. "Didn't take you for a sports drink kind of guy." He said as he put a lid on his drink.

"Nothing wrong with it, its just been so long since I even had a soda." I said, gaining his attention. "I may be from America, but I haven't been there in years." I said, shocking him.

"Wait, then where were you staying then?" He asked, with me looking out the window as we walked over to an empty seat.

"My family and I went on a trip to Afghanistan." I said, with his eyes widening. "From there, all the tourists we were with died, one by one, leaving me to be the last." I said, looking at him as we took a seat. "I would of never survived if I didn't start making plans for ever situation that would of came my way. Once I was free, I realized that a normal life wasn't for me any more, so I stayed there and fought back with the resistance, it was the true turn of the fight." I said, narrowing my eyes at him. "I've killed people, at the age of ten, I killed people twice my size, and it wasn't just me, there was another I had grown attached to." I said, closing my eyes. "Mukuro Ikusaba, a year younger than us, she is what I would call the Ultimate Soldier."

"Wait, she was given a Title and hasn't even been added to the school yet!?" He questioned, wide eyes.

"Not by the school, by me, and most likely is being scouted like me." I said, looking him in the eyes. "We were unstoppable when we were together, with her skills and my brain, no one could match us, not even Black Ops that were sent after us." I said, scaring him. "We nearly single handedly ended the war, would of done it sooner if I felt that my sanity was breaking with her." I said, looking back out side. "As much as I cared for her, I couldn't stay and be dragged into the darkness like her." I said, with someone placing the food in front of us.

"That's...Dark." He said, looking away.

'Dark...No, it was Despair.' I thought as we went on with our day, not talking after that.
