Oooh, the drama! Yeah, I'm finally back and not-grounded! Woot!

Sheena slammed her foot into the tree continuously. Over and over and over again. Just like she was always screwing things up over and over again. She had totally lost control back there! What was she thinking? Arg! She was so stupid sometimes!

Lloyd had been unmoved. He had stared back at her with a hard expression, like a disappointed and frustrated one, and turned back wordlessly to Colette. As they walked away, Lloyd wordlessly holding a hysterical Colette, Sheena stared at the ground in total shock. What the heck had she just done?

Well, she knew now. As her foot slammed into the tree again, there was a cracking noise. She reacted by grabbing it and gasping in pain. Great. Her life was getting really crappy anyway. 'I guess it shouldn't be too surprising.' She rubbed her ankle as it turned a crimson purple.

At Mizuho, Orochi tapped his foot impatiently. "We should go look for her," he stated calmly.

"…No," the chief replied. "It would be useless Orochi."

"What? What do you mean!" he gasped. "She's out there in a rainstorm, she's been manically depressed lately; what if she's committing suicide!"

"She's not. There's someone who means too much to her for her to leave him at the moment…"

Orochi was about to say something, then hesitated. "…Someone other than me then?"

"I'm afraid so. I apologize. But you know…that young lady has had her eye on you-"

"I don't wanna hear it," he snapped, getting up. "I'm going to look for her, and you can't stop me!" The chief cracked up with that remark, enraging him even more. "What's so funny about that!"

"Tsk, tsk Orochi; such a drama king!" the old chief hooted.

Orochi scowled and turned to leave.

"I'll have to ask you to not go there," the chief called. "Your presence won't help her any. Please think of her instead of being selfish."

Selfish? He wasn't being selfish! That old geezer had no idea what he was talking about! Sheena needed his help, or it was possible she might die! She needed HIM. Not that Lloyd!

Colette sat on her bed and thought. Lloyd had been cold to her that night. He hadn't spoken to her at all. Nor anyone else. He hadn't eaten, and he'd gone back to Dirk's house without saying a word. Colette had been the same way.

So she sat here thinking, as the raindrops pitter-pattered along her window. Here in Triet, she could think. She had always loved it here, with its desert beauty, and silence. She had also enjoyed its cloudless nights. Count on this night to be as gloomy as she was. She buried her face in her hands and began to cry again.

"What is wrong with me?" she thought slapping herself. Thoughts had been occurring to her all night. Her initial one was: I've lost the one I love. Maybe, but maybe not. Maybe she was crying out of complete and total confusion. Maybe it was the betrayal of a friend.

It was then that a thought she had not thank occurred to her. Sheena didn't do that to hurt her. Maybe she was just in love, and had felt all around crummy like she was feeling right then.

She hated it when life would pull cruel pranks on her like this. Whenever she felt like this, she would go ask Sheena to summon Origin, so she could ask him why she felt this way. But right now, how could they get along? What would she say?

Colette suddenly remembered how Sheena had been wearing her childhood scarf so much lately. She felt awful, more awful than she felt before. Although she didn't know why. She should be the hurting one! And she was!

"Origin, what do I do? I know it's my fault! But…how do I make it right?"

Origin thought deeply, and then replied, "You did something that broke trust in a friendship, perhaps two friendships-" Sheena hung her head "-but at the same time… you feel a truly deep connection with Lloyd…perhaps you should go to Colette and apologize by telling her the entire truth. She may be having second thoughts, too."

Origin shimmered for a minute before disappearing back into Sheena's hand.

As she walked back to Mizuho, her mind remained on what Origin had said.

"Sheena!" her grandfather called. "Good to see you back! Any good things happen?"

"No…but I hope they'll start to," she replied as she sat down at the table again to eat some ramen.

The chief smiled. "That's good," he stated. The look on her face was a bit different now, like there was some hope after all. Much better than the hopeless depression she had been in the past weeks.

"Uh, grandfather?"

"Hm?"

"Where's Orochi?" Sheena asked.

"Oh…" the chief squinted and worded his explanation carefully. "I had to have him put somewhere because of his desires."

"Well, I hope he's happy…I hope I will be soon." She smiled, and so did her grandfather.

"HEY! LET ME OUT!" Orochi yelled as he banged on the bathroom door.

Yah. Tis short. Please forgive.Proud that I updated though :DReview!
