Okay, so short update unfortunatly. However, I hope it's not disapointing!

"Cassi…"

"I told you Mike, it's over."

"But you haven't told me why." That was something Cassi had been avoiding. "What happened? What went on that day Leo ran out of the bus? Enough secrets, Cassi!"

The brunette sat unresponsive at her desk as she tried to finish applying her makeup. Although she had returned to see the boys, she had yet to rejoin them as a band. Neither she nor Leo said a word about what had happened on the bridge. Claiming that she was ashamed of what she had almost done, Cassi had begged Leo not to say anything to anyone.

"Mike, we're through as a couple. That's all there is to say, isn't it?" Her blue eyes watched him from the mirror as she sat with her back to him.

"No! That's not all there is!" He took the back of her chair and turned it so that she was facing him. An unimpressed Cassi looked back at him, a black line of eyeliner trailing across her face.

"I tried to kill myself. There. Now you know," her voice was little more then a whisper, but it was dark and angry. "Now leave, please."

"What?" Mikey's tone wasn't anger filled, but now shock. "Why…are you….Cassi?" He stammered.

"No, I'm not going to try to kill myself again, Mike," she said with a frustrated sigh.

"Just tell me why, Cassi. Why did you?"

"I don't think that's any of your business!" She snapped back.

"Oh, but it's Leo's? He's the reason we're splitting up?"

"It was my choice to break up, Mike," Cassi replied venomously. "Leave Leo out of this, and leave my apartment."

"Sparring match, Leo?" Cassi asked brightly, wearing her normal skin of green and usual magenta gloves and boots. However this time, her attire was somewhat darker.

"Did you dye your things?" Leo asked, trying to decide if it was the lighting or if she had indeed.

"Yeah," Cassi grinned, half sitting on the top of the couch Leo was reading on. "It was too childish. It's a bit more of a grown up colour now. After all, I'm twenty two, not sixteen anymore," she explained with a laugh, but there was a strange falseness in the way she laughed. "Now, you up for a match or not?"

"Alright," he agreed, putting down the book and feeling relieved to see her smiling. For the past few days she had been brooding over something, but when asked she wouldn't say about what, or why.

"With weapons?" Cassi asked hopefully, and grinned when Leo unsheathed his katanas.

Throughout the match, Leo kept a careful eye on Cassi. Her movements weren't what they usually were. She wasn't as fast with her blocks, nor did she move out of the way of his katanas when they came for her as fast as she usually was. No one, including Cassi, knew why, but she was naturally faster then the four. Was she just trying to slow herself down and overdoing it?

The blue bearing turtle noticed something else. Cassi's heart wasn't in the match and she seemed unmotivated to win. She was trying to lose. Then, as he brought his katana around, Leo figured out what was going on. He brought both katanas back quickly and sheathed them.

"Why'd you…"

"You lunged at the blade Cassi! Why?" Leo snapped angrily. Almost shocked, Cassi took a step backwards, but didn't say a word. "You were hoping I'd kill you by 'accident', weren't you?" Again, she remained silent, neither confirming nor denying his accusations.

"I told you. I want to die," she replied at last. "Why can't you just accept that?"

"Fine Cassi, I'm through with this. If you want to die that badly, do it by your own hand and don't make me feel guilty for killing the girl I love. But if you go through with it, you'll not only lose your own honour, but you'll lose all the respect I ever had for you."

With that he walked from the room, and Cassi held her sword in her hands, finally raising the blade to her neck.
