Author's Note: Mhmkay...so since I got a request for a more fast-paced chapter, (because you're right about the last chapter. It was slow-paced...and nothing was accomplished. Call it my lame ass excuse for a filler chapter.) Thanks for the advice. In this chapter, they WILL get closer. Gods, sorry about the slowness. I've been watching Inuyasha lately, and I guess the slowness is rubbing off on me LOL! SORRY. I will make an effort to make it less boring ^^. I'm SO glad people are liking this story. (Honestly, the reviews are the only things that are keeping me writing this story. And honestly, I LIKE constructive criticism. It certainly helps. Hence the term 'constructive'. Here I go again, rambling on about crap you all don't really care about...cause you just wanna know what happens! So...here's the disclaimer. Maybe I'll make someone else do it...
Cosmo: Honestly...Kenzie doesn't own anything in the story...except for me, Demetrius, Lance...and Grey. Isn't that obvious? And omg, this is the first chapter with Demetrius's POV :D! At least...I think...Oh! And, Kenzie doesn't own the lyrics to Summertime! My Chemical Romance, AKA the BEST BAND EVER, owns it.

~With Demetrius, Demetrius' POV~

The woods. A lonely, dreary place. What I'd give to be there right now...yes. What I'd give...hm. Maybe...I'd give my Ipod. No...I need that. It sure gives me memories. And...well, musical entertainment...

Oh well. Where was I? I...don't really know. Black was all I could see. But that's besides the point. It's funny. I was more worried about my sister's sanity than I was my own. Maybe I was going insane. At that point...I really didn't know...and I really didn't care. At all. I didn't think anyone would care either...especially not my sister.

Ah yes. I remember now. I need to...get a message to Cosmo. Tell her...I'm...alright. Not that she'd care...but that's alright. As long as she's okay... I also need to pray she'll figure it out! Figure it out ane...You're smart right?

It's so simple! I can't believe we didn't see it! Where did we first meet Justin! The bastard ran into you! Remember? Remember the city...remember the place? So simple...yet so difficult to remember! He's a genius...

Where was I...what was happening? It all really didn't matter. As long as...as long as..ane's alright. Ane...is very important...ane...I hope...she woke up...

~With Cosmo, Third Person~

They say it's the journey that is important, not the actual destination. Not the end, not the beginning, just the middle. Cosmo sure didn't feel that way...

"Ugh...anyone have ANY ideas..." she sighed impatiently. Kid glanced at her and shook his head. She sighed again and looked up. "Hey...what's that bird doing?" she asked, gesturing towards the strange bird spiraling down towards her.

"You mean that hawk? I don't know..." Liz said exasperatedly. The said bird landed on Cosmo's shoulder and began pecking her cheek.

"Aw what the- Wait! I know this bird...it looks like Demetrius's pet that escaped from the hotel in London..." she murmured.

"London...?" Kid questioned.

"Yeah...were we first met Justin...London...London! London! That's it! London!" Cosmo squealed happily. She felt as if she had FINALLY figured something out. "Yes! That's where we need to go!"

"You think you figured something out?" Liz asked, sounding no less bored.

"Yeah," Cosmo answered.

"Then let's go to London," Liz sighed, just wanting to get this over with.

"We'll head out in the morning. For now, we need some rest," Kid told everyone. Cosmo reluctantly set up her tent and sat on her sleeping bag, thinking back a year...or two, or three.

~Flaaaaash Baaaaack(in a sing song voice...)~

"Hey, congrats on finishing you're first day of ninth grade and LIVING," she congratulated. Her brother snorted.

"Yeah..." he agreed.

"We should sing in rejoicement," she laughed.

"Sure...sure. You start. Any song," he told her.

"When the lights go out, will you take me with you? And carry all this broken bone...through six years down in crowded rooms, and highways I call home is something I can't know 'till now, 'till you pick me off the ground," she began signing. Sure, it was out of tune...but who cared. They were kids!

"With brick in hand, your lip gloss smile, your scraped up knees and, If you stay, I would even wait all night...or until my heart explodes...how long...'till we, find our way, in the dark and out of harm, you can run away with me, anytime you want." he continued, sounding much better than she, but she didn't care.

"Terrified of what I'd be, as a kid from what I've seen. Every single day when people try and put the pieces back together just to smash them down, turn my headphones up real loud. I don't think I need them now, 'cuz you stop the noise and," she sang from the heart, and he could tell.

"If you stay, I would even wait all night, or until my heart explodes. How long? 'Till we, find our way, in the dark and out of harm, you can run away with me, anytime you want! Well anytime you want...Don't walk away..don't walk away, don't walk away!" he sang with just as much emotion in his voice.

"'Cuz if you stay, I would even wait all night! Well or until my heart explodes! How long? 'Till we, find our way, in the dark and out out of harm, you can run away with me...You can write it on your arm! You can run away with me," she nearly finished the song, but let him instead.

"Anytime you want," he ended the song beautifully.

"Good job...you're getting better by the day. You going to enter the Talent Show right?" she asked.

"No...I don't think so," he answered. She frowned.

"You should. Play Disenchanted on the Guitar and sing your heart out! You'll win," she urged. He shook his head.

"No. I don't think so..." he said sadly.

"Come on. Why not ototo?" she asked, using her pet name for him. It literally meant 'little brother' in Japanese.

"I'm not obliged to tell you ane," he answered. She smiled a little at the mention of her brother's pet name for her. Ane ment 'big sister' in japanese.

"Come on ototo...please, for me?" she pleaded. His frown deepened.

"I...don't think so ane. I'll mess up..." he sighed. She giggled.

"No you wouldn't you silly baka!" she teased him. He smiled a bit. "Don't be a negative Nelly!" she scolded.

"Did..you just call me a girl?" he asked. She laughed.

"No," she answered. He smirked.

"So many lights, to cast a shadow," he said absent-mindedly.

"What...?" she asked. He shrugged.

"Dunno."

~Another Flashback~

"Go ototo! You're doing great!" she yelled in encouragement. He really was doing well on stage. Hopefully...he would win. He had decided to preform against his better judgement..and it was going great! She hoped he would win. It would be...wonderful for him. Yes...wonderful for him...not for her though. She was secretly jealous of him. He was so talented...he even had a club of fan girls...that he despised, but that was besides the point. He had them, and that's all she saw. She sure didn't...she wasn't even popular. She had her small circle of friends, and no one else. He on the other hand, had a ridiculous amount of friends...

Why? Why was he so damned friendly? So damned popular? So damned smart? So damned cute? Why couldn't she be all those things. He didn't deserve the nick name 'ototo'! Not at all...she wouldn't call him that anymore. No. Never again would he be 'ototo'. More like popular bastard! And this talent show sure wasn't going to help her situation! It would probably make him even more damn popular!

"He's such a conceited jerk..." she whispered. Thankfully no one noticed.

~Yet another Flashback~

"Hello ane!" he called out.

"Shut up,' she said through gritted teeth. He looked confused and hurt.

"What did I do ane?" he asked, his emotions evident in his voice.

"Don't call me that you bastard!" she yelled angrily. His hurt and confusion quickly turned to anger.

"What. Did. I. Ever. Do. To. YOU?" he shouted.

"You..are so damn popular, and talented, and 'cute', and I HATE you for it!" she shouted back as an answer. He looked genuinely surprised.

"You...hate me..." he repeated her words. "Alright. I don't hate you though...I still love you," he sighed, then brushed past her as he went to his room, unshed tears shone in his eyes.

She felt...slightly guilty. Only slightly mind you...

She never apologized. He's still friendly to her, and she's learned to be civil. They appear to be regular siblings...but he's never forgotten that fight. He still believes she hates him.

~End flashback~

"Dammit." Cosmo thought aloud. And Demetrius still worried about her! She had said she hated him! Hated him! And he has a fantastic memory...so he wasn't likely to forget something as huge as that. She struggled to remember a time since that fateful fight when she said she loved him. She came up blank. "Not once..." she murmured. Unluckily for her, Liz had decided to walk in at that exact moment.

"Not once what?" the said blond asked.

"I haven't said I love you to Demetrius since that night...not once," Cosmo answered, not sure why she was answering honestly.

"What night...?" Liz asked cautiously.

"A year or two..or three ago," Cosmo answered honestly again.

"That's bad..." Liz said.

"And to top that I told him I hate him..." Cosmo sighed guiltily.

"Nice..." Liz said sarcastically. "It's amazing how much that boy cares..."

"I know. He's...the best brother I could ask for... He asked me if I was alright, even though,,,he probably thinks I hate him!" she yelled, on the verge of hysterics. She was just great at ruining relationships wasn't she! Maybe she...mentally unstable or something!

"He's...a really nice guy then isn't he?" Liz asked. Cosmo simply nodded. "Want me to leave you alone?"

"Please..." Cosmo replied, tears threatening to spill. Liz didn't want to take part in a sob fest.

'Damn. Demetrius must really care about Cosmo...' she thought to herself. 'He's even more attractive if he care's...'

"Liz?" Kid called out. Liz back pedaled a few steps and sat next to him.

"Yeah? Need something?" she asked.

"What was that about...?"

"Nothing. Just...girl stuff," Liz lied. She wasn't sure why she lied exactly...but she felt Cosmo should be able to keep things like that private. She saw him instantly back off at the mention of 'girl stuff'.

"Ah...okay," he headed over to his tent. She smiled at his retreating figure. A teeny, tiny smile that no one but Patty would be able to pick up on. She went to her tent that she shared with Patty and went to sleep, awaiting a potentially not boring day.

A/N: Right...so..not exactly...actiony, and a lot of flashbacks, but some stuff about the past, and you know, they found a great lead! It's great! They'll find Lance and Justin soon! But..where in the hell is Demetrius? I don't honestly know myself...oh well. Hope you enjoy this more!
