I hung from a tree branch because I was bored. It was mid-afternoon and everyone went to do their own thing. I wanted some time away from everyone because I know they will give me a hard time about sneaking into Yuma's garden. So I just went out and walked around and now I'm here. I was staring into blank space with a blank expression and arms crossed on my chest. I wasn't thinking much about anything because my head was filling with blood.

"Neko-chan looks bored." I heard out of nowhere and look around until I saw Kou leaning against the trunk of a tree.

"Oh, hey Kou." I greet as I stayed hanging.

"Did you get in trouble from this morning?" Another voice came around in the blue and I look behind me and see Yuma.

"Big time thanks to you." I say teasingly to him.

"Yeah, Yuma told me what you did and I couldn't help but laugh." Kou laughs in amusement.

"But you do know that it isn't right to trespass?" Then out of nowhere, Ruki comes out from behind a tree and narrows his eyes slightly at me.

"Yeah, but," I stop myself and look up at the ground.

"No excuse again."

"It's fine. But I don't want that to happen again." I nod my head and promised to Ruki.

"Hey, I brought you something." Yuma walks in front of me and shows me the basket that he held earlier with some cherry tomatoes, blackberries, cherries, strawberries and some other tiny fruits.

"Holy, no way!" I climb down from the branch and quickly grab a cherry tomato and pop it into my mouth. "These are good! Thank you!"

"You must like tomatoes, don't you?" Ruki asks as he takes a strawberry and bites off the tip.

"Always loved the sweetness and acidity of a tomato. You must have grown tomatoes all your life for them to be this good, haven't you?" I ask Yuma as I pop another tomato in my mouth.

"Well, I really don't remember much of my childhood. I just remember waking up in the streets one day and things started to yo-yo from there." My eyes widened when I realized something.

"He was an old friend. But…. He died in a fire."

"I tried to save him but…. He made me wait for him. He wanted to go and save his parents. But… he just ran off... into the fire…"

I remembered what Shuu said about Edgar and Yuma's strange scent started to creep up onto me again. Grabbing his shirt, I pull him down so he was eye level to me and I stare into his eyes for a moment before my demon eye changed; causing Yuma to pull back from me, trip, and fall to the ground. I quickly straddle him by the waist and lean down near his neck.

"Christina, what are you," Ruki shouts before I stop him.

"Wait." I simply say before leaning down again.

"Wow. Neko-chan isn't as innocent as I thought." Kou says in surprise but I ignore him as I felt Yuma shudder under me as I skim my lips against him.

Inhaling his scent again; I finally recognized the smell. It smelt like ashes. Putting the puzzle pieces together, I lean up and near his ear and whisper;

"What was your name?"

"What?"

"What was your name before 'Yuma'?" I ask again.

"Like I would know."

I lean up so our noses were close to touching and I stared him in the eye again. "Edgar." Yuma's eyes widen after saying his name and I felt my eye turn back to normal.

Standing up, I walk away from the three boys as they stood there in bewilderment while Yuma stayed on the ground.

~*~*~*~ Call Me Sane ~*~*~*~

I walked around some more before I walk up to some sort of small, cement, building with no doors. It's like some tomb or something like that. Walking inside, I look around the interior of the building and it kinda did give me the creeps.

"So this is where you have been all this time?" Looking back at the entrance, I saw Shuu standing there with a book in his hand as he was leaning against the wall.

"No. I just got here." I tell him.

"Well I come here to read so if you would like to be with me then you are welcome to stay." He tells me as Shuu walks past me and sits on the end of the cement bench and leans against the wall.

"You're not mad at me?" I ask in confusion as I sit in his lap.

"No, I was pissed." He then smacks me on the back of the head with the book.

"Ow!"

"But for some reason, no one could be mad at you forever." Shuu then leans in and kisses me lightly on the lips as a slight smile crept onto his lips.

"Thank you." I say as I lean my head on his chest and start reading the book he began to read.

But even as I read the book, my head was still filled with thoughts from earlier today when I found out that Yuma is actually Shuu's "dead" best friend.

"What will Shuu say?"
