When It All Falls Apart

'The cards said something misfortunate would come my way. Maybe it's that I'm finally going crazy?'

"Ms. Hitomi?"

'Hm, someone's calling my name, and it sounds like…'

Amaya's eyes flew open and she was greeted with curious auburn orbs. She gasped and moved back with out a second thought, accidentally falling off the side of the bed and landing on her back with a hard 'oof.', also knocking the air out of her. She had been so surprised to find him so close, and to actually find 'Him' of all people leaning over her bed., she stayed on her back for a few seconds, trying to regain air. Light popped back over her, a very amused grin playing across his face.

"You're very funny."

She grimaced and slowly she lifted herself into sitting position. Her arms felt heavy, even though she was dangerously under weight. Her eyes had gained light semi circles and her eyes had turned a deep shade of blue grey. Her hair now also seemed a dark blue grey , the room was dimly litted. She grimaced, it must have been really late, and he had stayed behind. Great now she felt as if she ow'ed him something.

He grinned, his finger pointing towards her cheek.

"You took quite a beating from Tennis practice today. That bruise proves it. Come on, I'm sure you're dieing to get home."

Amaya shoke her head, she couldn't go home, she had to work tonight.

"I have to work tonight, so I can't go home."

Light looked at her perplexed.

"You work and do school work?"

"I have to, what else am I going to do for ends meat."

"I guess, that's true."

"Yeah,"

She looked down at her curled toes, wiggling them. It felt awkward to be alone, in a nurses office, with a boy you labeled as your rival. Great, just what she wanted. Slowly she heard shifting in front of her and saw Light holding out her school bag.

"Well, if you have to work, you better get going, you wouldn't want to be late."

She smiled and nodded, slowly she pushed herself off the floor and onto her knee's, Light reached out a hand and she took it. She was quickly brought to her feet and her school bag was shoved into her arms. Bowing she said her 'thank you' and ran/jogged out of the nurses room.

When she reached outside she found a light drizzle forming. She smiled as she sighed, Night rain….it was beautiful. Looking at the sky she took into account that the sky was dark and the sun was setting in a 6 O'clock angle. She sighed, only 30 minutes to get to work. It wasn't all that bad, she got a room. With a 50 percent discount. Enough money for food and rent, she was happy. Sometimes she'd even have left over money, to have fun with. She groaned as another thought passed her mind, She'd have to go grocery shopping tonight. Peachy.

((Fast forwarding))

Amaya stood at the check-in/check-out counter, her fingers drumming lazily against the cool wooded table top. Her mind was wondering on other things,wondering to the two things in her hand, in the hand that was not banging on the table, two tarot cards laid. It was the card of The Lovers((1)) and The Death((2)) card she looked worriedly at them, what exactly did they mean?

A group of men in suits came in and Amaya's curiosity peeked over. She leaned over the counter and watched as they all filed into the elevator. She groaned as they disappeared, the groups eyes turning to stare at her with much , what was it, was it fear. She whacked herself and went back to her original placing, trying to refrain herself from breaking her neck.

Her shift ended at 9 O'clock and she happily took off to her apartment, it was quite late, but she'd have to go grocery shopping, she needed those groceries. She headed towards her room, sadly having to turn into a sharp corner and unexpectedly colliding with someone. She fell back on her butt , with a hard 'oof.'Wasn't that her second time on the floor, or maybe her third. She growled, she hated the floor, and lately she'd been seeing more of it.

"I'm sorry Ms.-"

She looked up to see the group of men, a particular man standing over her saying a sorry.

"No problem, sir, I shouldn't be running in the hallways anyways."

She lifted herself from the floor, dusting her vest and knee length black skirt. Job uniform, it was mandatory. She smiled and offered her hand.

" I'm Amaya Hitomi, nice to meet you!"

He stared at her hand and hesitated. Slowly he took it and offered a fake name, the one he was just given not so long ago. Amaya nodded and excused herself, was it her or did that man remind her of Light? Wow was it just her or was Light all she seemed to be thinking about? Shrugging, she walked into her apartment and grabbed some money and changed her clothing to a simple long sleeved white turtle neck and baggy faded blue jeans. Her hair was up in a messy ponytail. She put on simple sandals and with that she walked out of her room, sorry to say almost running into another person. Her eyes widened as she stared off into wide and deep circled eyes. Messy hair presenting itself and a man in an outfit similar to hers. She smiled , offering a sorry and a farewell. Not once noticing the shocked expression of the man. She walked away, only feeling a slight shock go through her body, he seemed familiar, but from where?

The young man stood in the hallway, his mind fumbling over things. She was, but she couldn't have been, what was the possibility that they would meet again. His thumb instantly flew to his lips as he thought hard of the girl. Could she have been who he thought she was? His mind drifted to the memory of a huddled group, seeking warmth, and then the smile of a motherly figure, though she was young, all three of them had been fond of her, the two youngest rivaling over her love. So they called it, it was just one more course they had set for themselves. He sighed, and he had heard from Little N that both boys were searching for her, it was just a coincidence that he had found her before any of them, sadly to say M, would have taking no time in raping her, in his mind. L sighed, she was safe so far, he was grateful for that, but she hadn't even noticed him, or even seemed the slightest surprised to see him. She lived in the same Motel, this would be easier to keep an eye on her, with Kira and everything going on. He grinned and walked back into the room.

Amaya walked down the street, it was weird how that jolt of electricity had coursed through her body, had she known the man? Who was he, he seemed to look rather familiar. She was lost in her own thinking, not yet spotting the group of men that followed behind her, sick grins on their faces.

1.The Lovers-Love, sexual union, beauty, emotional success, trials overcome.

2.Death-Transformation, events beyond your control, ending corruption, a new but difficult start, inevitable major changes. (the tarot will not predict an actual death)
