Forecast... Cloudy

Monday

"Wait, wait, wait!" Chie, Em, Yosuke, Yu, and me sat on the roof after school. Yosuke had to work after school usually, so I had no damned idea why he was here... meh, who cares. What I really was worried about was the conversation that had just started. "There is no way in HELL that a bubblely teenage popstar is better than Hollywood Undead and Avenged Sevenfold!"

"Risette isn't just some popstar!" Yosuke practically growled at me. Now, for those who are like, "but Kreed popstars rock!" I could name one person who makes everyone in that genre lose. But I will not waste my breath on that. "She's practically perfect! Her songs also have deep meanings!"

"That's all you got?" I grinned and took a deep breath. "I just can't escape It's like you're here with me now But the words you say. They always seem to fade out. Since you been away I'm just a face in the crowd."

Yep, I was determined to disprove Yosuke on this subject! "Someday, Someday I know you're coming back. Down in the dirt, With your blood on my hands. I blacked out, But now I do understand, That you were too good, For this world so you left it. Everything turned red, And then you made an exit. I don't even know, If it was your time. But like all good things, That pass you by, Just like a lost soul, In the time of need."

Em started to tap the beat of the song on the ground. "It made me grow up fast, And put some blood on my knees. And you don't even know It's beyond you. Thinking you could never die, Like you're bulletproof. So I guess you had to leave, You were born with wings. But you were never happy, 'Til the angels sing."

Yu and Chie both started clapping as soon as I finished my little show. So I bowed and pointed right in Yosuke's face. "That is why a autotuned grade A fake will never beat out Hollywood Undead, thank you for your time now stfugtfo!"

"You haven't even given her a chance!" Yosuke jumped to his feet and pulled out his own i-pod, this was not gonna end in a way o enjoyed... Yosuke handed me an ear bud; reluctantly... I took the small device and placed in my ear. Yosuke hit play and my ears were taken to music Hell, well not that bad, just music you would never catch me listening to. "So, how is it?"

"Still not my kinda music." I sighed loudly. "Personally... I think that there are computer programs that sound better."

"HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE RISETTE!?" Well, you might be thinking that I hit Yosuke for yelling like that, but in truth, I fell off the thing that Chie is always sitting on.

"Because Hanamura-san." Em slowly stood up and put in one of her head phones. "Look at me and then my brother... I'm a punk rock chick and he, well, he's my brother."

"So!" Yosuke jumped in frustration now. I shook my head and Yu put a hand on his shoulder.

"I think it's time to let this one go." Yosuke turned to me and pointed right in my face. Oh god, we all thought that he was gonna start a fight.

"Then let's see who's music everyone likes more!"

"Yosuke that sounds like a stupid idea." Chie sighed as she walked up next to me. Though... Yosuke did give me an idea. Oh, I was gonna have fun with this! "Can't you two just agree th-"

"How about a battle of the bands?" I grinned at the thought, I honestly just wanted to make a fool of myself.

"W-what!?"

"Fine!" Yosuke smiled at the thought as well, well, that is until Chie smacked him.

"Don't encourage him!" I laughed and put my hands on Chie's shoulders from behind. "This is such a stupid idea!"

"So was letting Narukami-sama stick his head inside a TV, but that worked out so far!" Oh, I knew was mad at me for this. I ruffled her hair for a moment. "It'll be fine, and it's not like the loser leaves town! Don't even think about Yosuke!"

"Okay, fine. I'll be at the flood plain training a bit." Chie quickly walked to the stair well and left the roof. I winced when the door closed behind her. It didn't slam, but the look on her face... I turned to the other three with my head down.

"I-I should go talk to her..." I took a step towards the door, only to have a hand pull on my shoulder. I turned back to see Em shaking her head at me.

"Let me do it, if its for what I think it is... she won't tell you until it has been resolved."

"But!"

"No buts!"

Location Change:

Yasogami High to Flood Plain

Em slowly walked along the road to see Chie sitting on a nearby bench with her hands under her chin. A sad expression on her face. Em sigh and hopped the beach to sit next Chie, which scared the Crap outta her! "E-Em-chan! What are you doing here?"

"Complain about the exist of life itself, I mean it is a faint pain in ass." I smiled at Chie, who gave a look that you would give a crazy person! "What about you Chie-san? Enjoying the view or something else? Maybe being poed at my brother?"

"Wh-what, no!" Chie waved her hands in front of her face. "No, no, no!"

Em couldn't help but laugh. "What then?"

"I wanna protect him, but that's hard to do if he goes through with this." Chie calmed down almost instantly. Em sighed loudly before snickering at Chie. "What's funny about that!"

"Nothing, nothing; calm down sister, we don't need an injured punk rocker going to school." Em held her hands up in defense. "Its just that... I've know him forever, the day we found him in that bathroom... Blood everywhere... I-I thought I lost someone important, the doctors almost lost him. I screamed and yelled at them to bring him back. It was before I had my hair dyed though."

Em tried to hold back tears that were forming. The memory was the most painful one she ever had, the other times her brother tried to off himself, she just got pissed. "It made somethin in me snap. All I cared about was protecting him, I even stopped seeing my friends. I even thought about punching you and Yukiko-san."

Chie just stared at Em, Em really didn't like Chie at first, but after talking to her, Em even thought about asking Chie to come over just to hang out with her. "Em-chan, what are you getting at?"

"He doesn't need it anymore..." Chie just tilted her head at Em. "A protector, he's different now, he's used the pain in his life and is now using it to help others. Sure he's still an idiot and will need help as long as the case continues, but he's always loved music... this is not something he needs protecting from."

Chie looked down towards the ground now. I guess she thought Em was right. The main reason was because they both came up the hill smiling. When Chie noticed me, she waved and a decided to run over to them. "Chie... I'm sorry... I was just washed away... Um, well I mean, damnit..."

Yep I sucked at this... luckily, I was dating Chie and not someone like Ai, well... old Ai. After giggling for a moment. "It's fine, Kris, go ahead and have the competition!"

"WH-WHAT!?" This was embarrassing... "Um, I kinda already cancelled it..."

Em face palmed at that moment. "Dumbass Brother!"

"Hey, I thought it over and Yosuke agreed!" I puffed out my cheeks and looked away from the two, who proceeded to laugh at me. "H-hey! Come on give me a break!"

"Well, it would have been pretty cool to see Em-chan play the guitar again." Chie smiled brightly, at which Em's cheeks grew oh so bright red.

"C-come on! It wasn't that awesome!" Both me and Chie started to bust out laughing. It was good to laugh, even if it was with Yukiko and her endless laugh. "Fine if you wanna see it so bad, why don't you just have a garage band!"

"Em..." I stopped laughing almost immediately and gave my sister the most serious face I have ever had. (Not really...) "That... Is... The... Most... BRILLIANT IDEA YOU HAVE EVER HAD!"

"Oh Crap..." Em shook her head and started to walk away. "I have just created a monster..."

"So Chie..." I turned to her with a smile. At which she returned.

"Yeah?" I dawned an evil grin once more qbd started to run.

"Last one to Aiya's pays!"

"It is so on!" Needless to say... I lost that race.

I'M BAAAAAAAACK! And to celebrate... A new chapter! Please send your feedback and I hope you have enjoyed this chapter!
