Chapter Seven
Running Away Won't Help You
Kid woke up the next morning wanting to make Zero fall off the bunk bed. But when he got to the room,the bed was empty,it looked as if no one had even slept there that night. Well,if it wasn't the note on the lower bunk.
The note said:
Hey Kid,
We left early this morning about 6 to be exact.
Thanks for everything.
Two and Zero.
So,they left before he even got up. Sad.
V_(-.-)_V
"It's almost time for class to start. Are you sure you want to keep waiting 'till they walk through those doors Kid?" Maka asked.
"Sleep at 8,wake up to go to school by 8! Is that so hard? No! Why didn't you just go to sleep!" Kid looked at Maka,stopping from yelling at Patty and Liz about going to the bar and getting drunk. "Yes I'm sure. I just want to see their faces. I made even more arrangements to their rooms. They each have their own mini-fridge next to their bed. And their bed reclines." Kid said a matter-of-factly.
"What? I'm freaking moving in then!" Soul said,jumping up from his spot on the ground.
"MAKA CHOP!" A book connected with Soul's skull. Soul was unconcious for a few seconds.
"Fuck Maka!" Soul said rubbing the top of his head.
The doors of the academy flew open and the heat from outside came in. In came Two and Zero,wearing black sunglasses.
"What's with the shades?" Soul asked.
"Just felt like wearing it." Two answered. She looked at the hungover Patty and Liz,smiling. "Ah. Seems like someone went drinking out last night."
Patty groaned uncomfortably.
"Ssssshhhhh. Too much noise. Too much quick movement." Liz said holding her index finger to her lips. Then fell into Kid's arm.
Kid's face was getting hot and his heart beated to fast and loud for him to think clearly. "L-Liz. Get-Get up!"
Liz held her index finger to Kid's lips. "Ssssshhhh. Quiet,love. Just carry me to class."
Her fingers smelt like vodka and gin. 'Why the hell would Liz drink such strong alcohol? Wait! Did she just call me love?'
Before anyone knew it,Liz had passed out along with Patty.
"YAHOO! I THE GODLY BLACK STAR HAVE NOW ARRIVED! BASK MY GLORY!" Black Star jumped in front of Two. Glaring at her. "Oh. It's you."
Two seemed amused about this. A smirk was spread across her face. "Good morning to you too."
"Black Star! You could have slowed down for me!" Tsubaki panted once she was in front of the group. Her hands on her knees and sweat dripping down from her forehead.
"WELL! WE DID JUST COME FROM THE DESERT TSUBAKI! WE WOULD HAVE BEEN LATE FOR CLASS!"
"Pft. Like that would change anything. You ditch class anyway." Maka said.
Tsubaki straightened up and extended her hand toward Two. "I haven't properly introduced myself. I'm Tsubaki."
Two took it and shook. "I'm Death the Kid Two. But I officially go with the name Two." Then she pointed to the person next to her. "And this is my idiot partner,Zero. The last Morpher in the world. Though,I bet you already knew that."
Tsubaki nodded. "Yeah. You're brother has said many things about you."
Two glanced at Kid,who was still trying to figure out a way to carry both his weapons. "Oh really. Like what?"
"Heheh. Nothing to worry about really. All of them compliments you." Tsubaki chuckled.
Zero smiled at her. "Hm. You're quite beautiful. You look familiar too. What happens to be your last name?"
"Nakatsukasas. Does it ring a bell to you?"
"Ah! Your brother was the Demon Sword,am I correct?"
Tsubaki nodded sadly.
"Then ,I feel terrible for your loss." Zero placed a hand on Tsubaki's shoulder. "If anything,your beauty must have been from within. A flower blooms in the midnight. An ugly seam,yes. But,if you spend your night with it you'll see..." He placed his hand under Tsubaki's chin,lifting it so that their eyes met,even if Tsubaki couldn't see them. "How beautiful it is."
Now it was Tsubaki's turn to be embarrassed. Her face was pink,but so was Black Star's instead red in fury. Soul held his arm,knowing of Black Star's little crush that had been growing over the years. Maka was shocked and touched by Zero's words. Kid wasn't falling for the act. Two yawned as if it was boring to her.
Zero chuckled before releasing her and turning his heel. "See you guys later. Hope seeing my flower again."
Two and Zero walked down the hall. Once they turned the corner,the group erupted in noise. Well,less noise than usual because Liz and Patty were knocked out.
"WHO THE HELL DOES HE THINK HE IS! HE CAN'T TALK LIKE THAT TO YOU TSUBAKI!" Black Star yelled at her.
Tsubaki blinked before asking. "Why? Why can't he do that?"
"HE JUST CAN'T OKAY!"
"Calm down Black Star." Soul said grabbing his arm.
"FUCK OFF SOUL!" He pulled his arm away. "YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND! LIFE ALWAYS GOES YOUR WAY! YOU KNOW WHAT? I'M SICK OF THIS!" Black Star stomped out of the building.
"BLACK STAR!" Tsubaki ran after him.
"I think that was really sweet of him."
Soul turned his head to see Maka looking down the hall Zero and Two walked down. Pink dusted her cheeks. "Huh?"
"What Zero said. I-I would be happy if a guy did that to me. Though,as you said,poetry isn't cool." She laughed quietly. "But,it is romantic for someone to say something like that. Something that speaks to the heart."
Soul's heart clenched at this. He was never the romantic type. Seeing Maka this way,he knew that he wasn't right for Maka. Maka deserved someone better than him.
And Maka was never a romantic,her being one now meant a lot. It made half of Soul's soul turn dark.
"Don't be fooled." A voice brought Soul back to reality. It was Kid.
"Fooled?" Maka asked.
"That was all probably Two's sayings."
"How can you tell?" Soul asked.
"No one can ever know. But they can read each other's minds. The possibility is high."
"So,the words he said weren't real?" Maka asked quietly.
"Oh. They were real. They just weren't from the heart. He's too into my little sister to do such thing." He said grimacing.
"Into your sister? Huh. I wouldn't be surprised. She is cute." Soul said crossing his arms. Maka and Kid gave him a death glare. He held up his hands in defense. "Only speaking the truth man." He then smirked. He loved getting over-protective parents such as Spirit angry. 'Let's see how Kid handles it.' "Hm. You know. Now that I think about it,I'm thinking about asking her to the movies tomorrow. What do you think guys?"
Let's just say,Soul was in a trashcan with multiple cuts and bruises when he was found and taken to Nygus.
V_(-.-)_V
"BLACK STAR!"
"GO AWAY!"
Tsubaki tackled him to the ground,pinning his wrists above his head. "No. You know you can tell me everything. So,why can't you tell me this little thing?"
"Tsubaki."
Tears trailed down from her face. "I-It just,it hurts. Seeing that you can't trust me anymore." She released Black Star,getting up and looking away.
"Tsubaki. Don't go."
Tsubaki turned around. Black Star wiped the tears off of her face. "I do trust you Tsubaki. I guess I just got..."
"Jealous?"
"No. That's not the word. I mean we're only friends right?"
Tsubaki's heart clenched at that word. Friends. "Yes. We are nothing but friends. Best friends." What Tsubaki didn't realize is that once she said that,Black Star felt as if he was just punched in the face. No. Punched in the heart.
"Yeah. I was over-protective. Possessive. I know I shouldn't be but,you're my weapon. And only mine's. Got that?" Black Star said.
Tsubaki's face lit-up at the words 'only mine's'. "Yeah. I'm only yours."
They went back to the Academy using Speed Star. Black Star was carrying Tsubaki all the way there.
V_(-.-)_V
"So. Why are you 2 wearing shades?" Stein said,adjusting his glasses.
"Felt like it. It's hot today,don't you agree Stein?" Two said.
"Yes. But this academy has AC. Of course you knew that." Stein said,lighting his cigarette.
"Hmph. Who cares,this makes us look even cooler than we already are. If that's possible,which it is!" Two exclaimed. Zero snickered at Two's usual energetic personality.
"You saying cool,reminds me of at the back there." Everyone looked at Soul,whom you all knew and expected him to be sleeping. Of course he was.
Maka looked up from her book. "What?"
"Eater. Wake up." Stein said.
Maka shook her head and closed her book.
"Uh oh." Everyone said in union,except for Two and Zero.
"Maka..."
"Maka. That isn't necessary." Stein sweat dropped.
"CHOP!" Her book came down on Soul's head and everyone flinched at the sound.
"Oh Maka." Stein shook his head.
"WHAT THE HELL WOMAN?" Soul yelled at Maka,rubbing the back of his head. "ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME?"
"Tch. Idiots are hard to kill."
"WHAT?"
"You heard me."
They started to argue. Loudly.
Two turned to Professor Stein. "Are they always like this?"
"More or less,yes."
Two looked at Zero. "C'est drôle tu ne crois pas zéro?"
Zero sighed. "Pas tout le monde s'entend bien comme nous, Deux."
Two nodded. "Mais ils ferais un bon couple."
Everyone was silent at their words. Obviously,they weren't speaking English.
Zero laughed. "Je suis d'accord."
"English please." A boy from the back said.
They both shook their heads. "When we have time we'll tell you." They said in union.
Their voice seemed so fluent with eachother,no one could tell which one was Zero's and which one was Two's.
Stein cleared his throat. "Maka,Soul,Kid,Patty,Liz,Tsubaki,Black Star,Two,and Zero. Lord Death wants you at the Death Room. Now go before I-"
"Dissect us. Whatever Stein." Two and Zero said once again in union,getting up.
"I don't like your group tone. Too bad I can't dissect you without Shinigami-sama killing me."
"Whatever." The called students went out of the classroom and headed to the Death Room.
V_(-.-)_V
"Why hello everyone! Thank you for coming here!" Lord Death waved at them,Spirit next to him as usual.
"Good morning Lord Death!" Maka,Liz,and Tsubaki bowed.
"Ohayoo Gozaimas Shinigami-samaaa~!" Patty singsonged.
"Good morning Lord Death." Soul muttered getting elbowed by Maka.
"Morning father." Kid waved.
Two and Zero were way behind the group.
"Hey dad!" Two exclaimed.
"Good morning Lord Death." Zero smiled and waved.
"Oh Zero. You can call me uncle." Lord Death said kindly.
"Yes,I know Lord Death. But I would like to greet you more formally."
"Okay. If that's what you want."
Two ran up and sat down on her father's throne. Zero followed and sat on the armrest.
"So,why'd you call us here?"
"Right! Right!" He then turned to his lovely daughter and the Morpher. "I would like to send you both to a mission at California,Las Vegas next week."
Two smiled brightly. "All right!"
"But I'm sending your brother and his friends with you guys."
"WHAT!"
Everyone but Zero flinched at Two's explosion.
"ARE YOU CRAZY? I CAN HANDLE THIS ALL ON MY OWN! I DON'T NEED ANYONE BUT ZERO WITH ME!"
"Yes but...Reah wouldn't like it." Lord Death said sadly.
Everyone noticed how tense Zero,Two,Kid,and Spirit had become after Lord Death said that name.
"WHO'S REAH?" Black Star askyelled.
"SHUT UP!" Two yelled. "AND I DO NOT NEED A BABY-SITTER!"
"He won't be your baby-sitter. He will be watching after you." Spirit said.
"SAME DIFFERENCE!"
"Ah...You remind so much of Maka when she was younger. YOU ARE SO CUTE! I JUST WANT TO SQUEEZE YOU AND HUG YOU!" Spirit hugged Two tightly.
Two's expression softened. 'Spirit is so funny. He remembers when Maka was a kid.'
"Papa! Stop! You're going to kill her!" Maka prying Spirit's fingers off of Two.
"Sorry. I just...I LOVE MAKA THE MOST!"
"MAKA CHOP!"
Spirit laid on the ground with a book-shaped dent on his head. Two straightened up.
"I'm sorry about that."
"Eh. I just want to get over the business at hand." She turned to her father. "I will not go along with him watching me." Two said with clenched teeth.
"But... Reah..." Lord Death said with sad eyes.
"UGH! YOU'RE ALWAYS USING THAT NAME AGAINST ME!" She stood up and walked towards the entrance/exit. "Fine. Let them come. But don't expect me to listen to Kid." The doors slammed shut,everyone except the Morpher jumping at the sound.
Zero rubbed his neck at what his miester had just done and said. "I'll... I'll go get her." With that,he ran out the Death Room.
"She's right you know. You always use her name against them." A familiar voice said. Then,out of the shadows,Stein rolled in.
"I know." Lord Death said.
"WHO IS REAH?" Black Star yelled.
"REAH! WHY REAH? WHY?" Spirit cried onto the floor.
"So,Reah's just another one of my dad's whores?" Maka asked.
"HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT WHATSOEVER! YOU BARELY KNOW HER!" Kid yelled at Maka.
Everyone stared with disbelief at Kid (except Stein and Shinigami-sama).
Kid blinked a few times,then recovered from his freak out. "Ah... I'm sorry Maka. It's just-I'm sorry." He shook his head in shame.
"How do you know this,Reah?" Maka asked.
Stein gave a gentle smile. "We're old friends. She graduated right after I did." Stein shook his head,still with a smile on. "Her thoughts were as outrageous as they could get. Of course,she was also your mom's best friend."
Maka's eyes widened. She had just called one of her mom's best friend a whore. 'I am turning into an idiot aren't I?' "Wha-What?" Was all she could manage to say.
Stein nodded. "Reah helped hook up Spirit and Kami." He shook his head. "She only saw the good side of people. That's why she was one of the most popular kids at school."
"Wait." Soul said. "She hooked up him," He pointed his thumb at the wailing Spirit. "With her best friend?"
Stein nodded. "Like I said,only good side." He lit his cigarette. "I bet if she got to know you,she wouldn't even care about your white hair,your shark-like teeth,and red eyes. Once you ask if she notices those things,she seems surprised. But,quickly recovers and says that you look the best." Stein laughed. "That girl didn't even know I had gray hair until I graduated and told her the color of my hair."
"Huh? Was she blind or something?" Soul asked.
Stein shook his head once more. "Nah. She just didn't think appearances mattered. She always set aside people's looks and went straight to personality."
"Kami wasn't so controlling and was fun around her. Azusa wouldn't be so tense,and Marie would stand up for herself." Spirit said. "Justin would always take his earphones off when she talked,Sid and Nygus thought of her as a sister. And Stein wouldn't talk about dissections!"
Everyone gasped at the last statement and turned to Stein.
He shrugged and smiled. "She was very convincing. And,no one liked it when she's angry."
"Do you remember the time she got a B for science?" Spirit asked.
Stein and Spirit looked off to side,shivering at the memory.
"But,other than that,she was really great." Stein said with an honest smile.
"She sounds really nice." Tsubaki said with a smile.
Lord Death still had sad eyes. "Yes." He looked off to the side. "She was..." He whispered.
V_(-.-)_V
"IT JUST ISN'T FAIR!" Her fist hit the brick wall once again. The wall already had millions of large holes. Only leaving traces on the ground and the dust on her bloody knuckles. "HE'S ALWAYS TRUSTING HIM BUT NOT ME!" Her fist was brought to the wall again. The sound of cracking was sickening,the cracking of bricks against powerful fists that is.
"Two-"
"WE'VE BEEN ALONE FOR MOST OF OUR LIVES! AND TRAVELING AROUND THE WORLD NOT TO MENTION!"
Crack.
Zero winced. 'I feel bad... For the wall.' "Two you-"
"UGH! IT JUST MAKES ME MAD THAT I AM NOT TRUSTWORTHY ENOUGH FOR HIM!"
"TWO!"
Two turned around,Zero grabbing her wrists. He looked sternly at her knuckles. It was beat up and bloody. "You shouldn't hurt yourself like this."
In a few seconds,her knuckles looked clean and untouched as ever. She rose an eyebrow. "Better?"
Zero nodded then let go of her wrists. "Can you hear them out please?"
Two opened her mouth to speak,but Zero clasped his hand over it.
"Just listen to me,'kay?" Zero asked. Two nodded. "Your brother's been missing you. Missing you for 10/11 years. And your dad feels his pain. He's lost 4 people,remember?"
Two pushed Zero's hand away gently,and bit her lip. "I... Okay."
Zero smiled. "Good. And you'll listen to Kid too,Two."
"What?"
"Well,you have to make up for this wall." Zero gestured to the wall. "It's aura is now off." He cupped Two's cheek. "And so is yours Two. You know that dark colors aren't good. Even if your favorite color is purple."
Two cupped Zero's cheek. "And I know you don't like aura's that are off. So... I'll do it."
They released each other,and Zero smiled. "Excellent! Now your aura's back to pink!"
Two laughed. "Well,okay then. Can we please go home?" Two asked.
Zero nodded.
V_(-.-)_V
"Kid,don't feel bad. At least she let us go with her!" Maka exclaimed. She didn't understand how Kid felt. Of course,neither did Black Star but we all know he's incapable of many things.
Tsubaki smiled. "Yes. And you should be thankful about that."
Everyone bickered in agreement. While Soul,was staring off into space.
'There's something familiar about those 2. Though,I can't put my finger on it.'
"Ah! That's right! We haven't given them a proper introduction!" Maka said. So like Maka,to always be proper.
Soul snorted. "She already knows me."
Maka raised a book menacingly.
Soul's eyes widened. "But I can introduce myself anyways."
Maka put the book away and nodded.
"I THE GODLY BLACK STAR DOES NOT TO INTRODUCE MYSELF! I AM A STAR AND EVERYONE KNOWS THAT!"
"How can they not? All you talk about is yourself. I bet,you can't go a day without talking about yourself." Soul smirked at the thought. Black Star never backed down on a challenge.
Black Star's eyes narrowed. "Is that a challenge?"
Soul shrugged,smirk still in place. "Maybe."
"OH! IT'S ON!" Black Star held his hand out. "YOU'LL OWE ME $1,000 DOLLARS WHEN TOMORROW'S OVER!"
Soul shook Black Star's hand. "Or you'll owe ME $1,000 dollars."
"PFT! YEAH RIGHT!"
Maka tapped Soul's shoulder. Soul turned around,and Maka gave him 2 thumbs up. "We're all rooting for you. Even Tsubaki. She says Black Star doesn't want any help from her whatsoever."
Soul smirked and took Maka's hand. "Yeah. I won't let you guys down." He looked over his shoulder,to see Black Star striking a pose and talk about himself. "Hey. Let's take a shortcut. Bye guys!"
They ran off through a dirty alley. Soul was still holding onto Maka's hand. Maka face was as red as Soul's eyes.
"Soul! Slow down!" Maka panted.
Soul stopped and turned around. "Okay. Just breathe Maka."
Maka bent over and tried to catch her breath. "Soul,you're still holding my hand."
Soul rose an eyebrow. "So,you don't like it?"
Maka's face turned different shades of red. "I didn't say that!"
"So you like it?"
"Soul!"
Soul pushed Maka to the wall. "Yes?"
Their faces were inches from each other. Maka suddenly wasn't breathing.
Soul cupped Maka's cheek. "Maka..."
"MAKA MY ANGEL! I'M HERE TO RESCUE YOU FROM OCTOPUS HEAD!" A wailing Spirit stopped in front of them.
"What are you doing here?" Maka exploded,pushing Soul aside gently.
"MAKA I-"
"Can't you just beat it and go with another one of your whores?"
"Maka-"
"Just leave me alone you freak!"
"Maka!" Soul looked at her sternly. "Why are you doing this?"
Maka clenched her teeth. "Are you siding with him?"
"Of course not Maka! It's totally uncool for guys to cheat on their girls!" Soul said reasonably. "I just think you're being too harsh."
"HE'S REMARRYING,SOUL!" Maka cried.
'How can you forget that? Soul you BAKA!'
"Remarrying?" Spirit asked. "I-I'm not remarrying Maka! I promise!"
"You're lying."
"MAKA! DADDY LOVES YOU AND MAMA THE MOST!"
"I said to leave me alone!" Maka cried. Soul grabbed her by the waist and patted her hair.
"Sh. Let's just go home,okay?" His voice muffled,kissing Maka's hair. Maka just nodded.
They left a confused and sad looking Spirit at the alley.
V_(-.-)_V
"Catch." Zero threw a bottle of water at Two,who caught it easily and thanked him in her head.
They both took their shades off.
The sight though,wasn't at all pretty.
Two had a black left eye. Zero looked as if he lost sleep,he had baggy eyes.
Reasons?
They went to the bar yesterday.
The air smelt of smoke,alcohol,and sweat. The laughter of drunks and screaming of football fans were everywhere.
2 minors strolled in gracefully,catching everyone's attention.
The redhead placed a hand on the girl's shoulder. "Just don't get... Angry."
The dark haired girl chuckled. "I'll try."
They went over to a brown haired girl. She was circling the rim of her glass while listening to her boy toys talk,with no emotion.
"Rachel Young." The redhead stated.
Rachel stopped circling the rim,and looked up. She instantly smiled. "Zero and Two. Came to get revenge?"
Two smirked. "Well. Revenge is such a small word. I would have describe it as HELL. Or in my dictionary,PHAME." (A/N:Sorry Jhonny. No one seems to like you at school,so I contribute this word to your last name!)
"Hm? Phame? With a ph,right?" Rachel asked.
Two nodded.
"What exactly does that mean?"
Two gave an evil,yet seductive smile. "Well,it's just as it sounds. Making you famous."
Rachel rose an eyebrow.
"After you die that is."
Rachel threw a punch to Zero. Zero,dodged easily. He grabbed her wrist,and twist it almost painfully. Rachel gasped and squeaked in pain and suprise.
"Please. Don't resist. What you did is illegal. Just be thankful Lord Death does not know." Zero stated.
But Rachel had more than one trick up her sleeve. She kicked Zero in the shin. Zero yelled in pain and released her. Rachel turned to Two and punched her on the left eye.
Two sat up on the floor,wincing.
She didn't seem herself once an evil grin was placed on her lips.
Two stood up and giggled. "Wow. You really made a big mistake."
Zero's eyes widened. "Wait Two don't-"
Two punched Rachel in the stomach,Rachel flew to the wall with a sickening thump.
As Rachel's body slid to the ground,a hole the shape of her body showed on the wall. Rachel wasn't bleeding,but Zero could tell Two broke some bones.
Everyone stared at Rachel's body in fear. From then on,everyone knew not to mess with Two. Or more specifically,Angry Two.
"Great. Two,I thought you were going to control her!"
"Eh! Sorry! Instincts took over!"
"Instincts? You flew her to the other side of the room!"
"Let's just take her to the hospital. All is forgiven now!"
"Well,yeah. We need to tend to your eye too. It's already swollen."
Zero walked over to the unconscious girl and threw her on his shoulder.
Then Two and Zero walked out of the bar to the hospital,as if nothing had happened. But so did the people in the bar,as they continued to watch the game and laugh.
Two took a swig of her water. Zero threw an ice pack at Two,who again caught it easily.
"Still worrying about it? Don't worry! In a few seconds,there will be no sign of my black eye!"
Zero narrowed his eyes. "I stayed up all night for you. The least you could do for me is this."
Two sighed and placed the ice pack on her left eye. "There. It'll go away faster. Happy?"
Zero nodded.
"Now you'll go to sleep early."
"Eh?"
"We already visited her before we came here. I'm okay."
"I'll just eat Bowl Noodles then."
Zero took a package of Bowl Noodles out of the cupboard,opened it,poured some tap water,then placed it in the microwave where it revolved for 2 minutes.
Zero yawned as he leaned on the counter. Two stood up and put the ice pack back into the fridge.
The area around her eye was back to it's pale skin. No sign of a bruise or getting into a fight anywhere.
"You should hurry up and eat. Then go through sanitary procedures and change to your pj's. Then you'll be able to go to sleep." Two said to Zero.
Zero smirked. "Thanks for giving me a run down."
Two stuck her tongue out at him.
The microwave beeped and Zero immediately started to eat the Bowl Noodles once at the table.
"I want to eat with you!" Two complained.
"Get another fork then you baka." Zero said.
"Call me a baka again and I'll do things you never thought I would to you."
Zero gave a seductive smirk. "I'll remember that for future references."
"Ew! You pervert!" Two said,sitting next to Zero and slapping him.
Two took most of the noodles and Zero had only the soup to drink.
"Thanks for hogging the food once again Two."
"I was hungry!"
"Well you could have-"
"Ew! No!"
Zero shrugged. "Just a thought."
They both brushed their teeth and changed into pajamas.
Zero yawned once again and fell onto the pillow.
"Hey Zero."
"Yeah Two?"
"Have you ever-"
"Once or twice a day,yes."
"Then why don't you?"
Zero sat up and looked at his miester. He had an eyebrow raised. "Do you want to?"
Two shrugged. "Just sleep on my bed tonight."
"I slept on yours last night. You come here,I'm too tired." He fell back on the bed,pulling the covers over his head.
He heard his miester's bed creak,her feet thumping on the wooden floor,then felt his bed shift as did the blanket. He turned to be looking in her eyes.
"You better not be screaming my name tonight." Zero said,touching Two's cheek.
Two frowned. "I had a nightmare,okay?"
Usually Two and Zero had the same dream,knowing of course that it's not reality.
"Two?"
But today,Two was not in the (what they call) Dream Room.
Zero,opened the door and exited out of the Dream Room into the "Lobby".
The Lobby is where they see what's going on in reality and seeing each other's thoughts as if they're on Facebook. But only they could access the data.
Zero's eyes cracked open.
Did I mention that it's the only way for them to wake up?
He looked over at Two.
The girl he shared an apartment with. The girl he shared a room with.
The girl he basically shared a life with.
His miester.
Ever since they met.
Two was clutching the pillow to the point that stuffing were already coming out of it.
Zero hopped out of bed and into Two's. "Two! Wake up!" The young Morpher shook his miester's shoulders. "Come on Two!"
All of a sudden,Two started screaming Zero's name.
"Two! Wake up! I'm right here! Come on! Where the Shinigami are you!"
In their little mind,it's as if they're in a little mind hotel. So basically,there's so many rooms to look into. Each has a personality.
Yes,personality. They have a clone of them-self wearing a "Hello my name is" tag sewed on their shirt.
Unless it's Arty Two,who has her nickname painted on her smock.
Usually,they're wearing different clothing than the person them-self. But if it's Angry Two,then the only thing apart is the sewed on tag.
Zero saw that there was a new door. Nothing seemed right about it. The door was painted pure black. None of the doors were ever black.
"Found you." Zero touched the door handle,turned to handle,and it didn't open. Zero shook it with all his might. "You know what,screw it." He kicked the door down,revealing the inside.
Zero's eyes widened.
Blood.
Blood everywhere.
Blending in with those wet,red strands. Wet from both sweat and someone's tears.
His head on someone's lap.
"Two?"
Two's head snapped up,revealing puffy,red eyes. "Z-Zero?"
Zero ran to Two,hugging her. "Why-No how? How in the world am I dead?"
"We-We were fighting. And then-Then you came out of your weapon form. Then you got slashed in half. In half Zero!" Two sobbed.
"You should know this isn't real."
"How?"
"You're crying. You never cry. Ever."
Two looked up. The blood started to wash off the walls and the fake Zero disappeared.
"Am I right? Or am I right?"
Two smiled as Zero kissed her forehead.
Two and Zero's eyes opened.
"You okay Two?"
"Yeah. I should have known. But there's one thing."
"What?"
"I want to visit her."
"Now?"
Two nodded.
"But it's 2 in the morning."
"I can't sleep because of it. Sorry."
Zero sighed. "Okay."
Zero gave Two a piggy back ride to her desired place.
"Okay. I don't blame you for crying though."
"Hm. Why?"
"I'd cry if I saw me die too."
Two slapped Zero as he laughed.
"Ha. Sorry. Couldn't pass that joke up. But if you ever died,I'd kill the person who killed you. Then myself."
"But,live. For me."
"No point in living without you to live with."
Two kissed Zero's nose. "Hm? Explain why."
