I had not gone back to the clearing after the incident. I just needed to clear my head. A stroll around town was likely to help ease the headache that was starting to pound in my left temple. Rubbing it I entered the main square where people bustled about. Some had little children clinging to their parents hands begging to be taken out for ice cream or to go to the toy store, teenagers lounged on the side walk making passersby weave around them. Business men and women were dressed in all black and where texting and calling on their blackberrys or iphone about their work. Several small stands in the middle of the square had little to no people visiting them. The people in charge of them stood with sullen or bored expression on their faces at the usual lack of customers who seemed to avoid them, not bothering to even think about them because they had to much on their minds already and didn't want to waste their time on such things.

A large stone fountain sat smack in the middle of the chaos. It was carved to look like a half naked cherub with large angels wings and a horn. Stone grass and flowers surrounded its feet dotted with the occasional,almost invisible, butterflies. Years after being built the stone had been chipped and pooped on by so many pigeons that instead of the dark grey it had once been it was now almost white. No one ever bothered to clean it. Water in a basin circled the ugly statue and in that basin there was alteast 100 dollars worth of pennies, nickles, dimes and quarters that people had thrown in for good luck. I walked towards it and sat down on the ground, leaning my back against the cool stone, closing my eyes I leaned my head on the lip of the basin and let loose a long and loud sigh.

Kaname's atrocious behavior had left me agitated and extremely angry. The events that had occurred this past couple of weeks were ostensibly out of control. If I wasn't a freaking ghost I could be so much more useful. And now I am still stuck here without the necklace, without the whereabouts of Sara Shirabuki and Zero doesn't love me. Now I have no way to get back. Putting both hands over my face I let out a long tortured groan before sitting up and using both hands to rub my face and eyes.

" What am I going to do?" I asked myself, letting my hands fall limply into my lap. Entertwining my fingers my thumbs twiddled together distractedly to rid some of the boredom that I began to get. My eyesight wandered to the front of my shirt where the blood was.

" Why did you never tell me about the pistol Zero?" I spoke, my voice barely above a whisper.

" Don't lie to me or try and make up excuses. I've been here since we entered this room." My voice wavered.

" Because you weren't always there for me." he admitted.

" Wasn't there for you?" I whispered. He smacked Kaito's hand from his jacket.

" Yuuki was always there when I needed her. "

" I have known you way longer than she has. I have always been there for you. Ready and waiting. " i snapped, pissed off.

I shook my head roughly to dislodge the memory. A burning sensation entered my eyes and I rubbed them to rid myself of the feeling. Zero...

With a huff I hefted myself onto my feet and saw that the large crowds of people were beginning to become smaller. A clock in a flower shop told me it was close to seven p.m.

My mind was blank when I tried to think of somewhere to go besides back to the clearing to see Haruka and Juri. I cound never... no.. I would never tell them about Kaname. They didn't need more stress put on them as it is. I didn't even want to face Kaname right now. I thought these things as I wandered through town while staring at my feet. When I stopped and looked up I saw that I had somehow mangaged to end up at Cross Academy. I let my legs take me to my grave but I stopped dead when I saw someone with their back leaning up against my head stone. Passing Day Class boys and girls whispered amongst themselves as they dared glances at the boy sitting by my grave.

" I heard that he was best friends with that girl before she died." whispered a boy to his friend when they passed me.

" He is there everyday sitting there next to that grave. I wonder why..." asked a girl to her friend.

The said boy didn't seem to care to glare at the Day Class students as they walked past. He seemed to focased on the dead leaf in his hands that he was slowly picking small parts of the leaf off and letting them drop to the ground before repeating the activity again with a different one.

The Day Class finally disappeared completely each going to their rooms and leaving the grounds silent. Chirps of crickets began filling the empty grounds with music.

I made myself visible to him only just in case and walked toward him catiously.

" Hey... Zero?" I called softly. He jumped a little and raised his head to look up at me. That's when I noticed dried tear tracks on his cheeks.

"..." He didn't say anything and went back to picking at the leaves at his feet.

" About yesterday..." I trailed off as he shook his head in refusal to hear my apology. " I'm sorry." I said.

Zero squeezed his eyes shut and when he re-opened them they were shining with unshead tears.

" It's my fault." he rasped. His voice sounded used and scratchy, something like mine did after crying for a long time. " I didn't mean to say such things. I just... I just..." He let out and pulled in a shaky breath.

" I just want you back..." he finished. " I-I... was wrong when... I said you weren't always there. You were. I just never... saw it until now..." He looked up at me with lonely amethyst eyes. "I'm so sorry." he said and ran a shaky hand through his hair.

" I'm sorry too." I sat cross-legged next to him. " I never meant to say any of those things to you either. I was just going on anger." A tear escaped me and landed on my lap. " I want to get back as much as you want me to. I can't if I don't have the necklace."

" Where is it?" he asked, his voice sounding more steady.

I smiled and shook my head. " I don't want to talk about this. I just want to forget about it right now." I leaned closer to Zero and rested my head near his shoulder.

" I wish everyday was as peaceful as it is right now." I told Zero while watching fireflies light up around us.

" Let's hope it will once all of this is over." he said and relaxed next to me.

" Then we better hope like crazy." I replied.

I sat next to Zero in the Association while he read through file after file. My brother stood leaning against the wall watching him.

" I'm moved. Your helping out the organization without a single complaint ? I figured you either completely ignored things or completely took care of them." mused Kaito sporting a smirk.

" Enough, your annoying me, Kaito. I hate how you always have to worry about what I do." growled Zero turning to the next page of his reading.

" Well, sorry. I'm not worried, though, Just doing surveillance. So just don't worry about it and let me worry about you."

" Good work,,," Zero smirked. " It must be tough. You told the guys outside the door that i'm fine right?"

" Yeah." he sighed and leaned on a chair.

" I don't think you want to worry over him to much." I told Kaito.

" Who asked you!" said the irritated older hunter.

I held my hands up and shrugged. " Hey, I'm just saying. If you keep telling him that you're worried over him he might as well slam you up against the wall and yell at you about your inner feelings."

Zero snorted a laugh and zero and I looked over at Kaito and we both laughed harder at the look of pure smugness plastered across his face.

" When you come back to earth you are going to get one heck of a butt whooping, smart alec." he hissed menacingly but a teasing glint shown in his eyes. I flipped him the bird.

" Whatever, bro." I smarted and smirked.

" That's it!" he growled and ran towards me. I leaped up and ran around the room with him chasing me. i ran through the table and stopped in the middle. He glared and tried to reach me.

The doors opened and I turned to look at the person who entered. Yagari turned and closed the door before stopping and looking at the scene before him. Zero was laughing at Kaito who had sprawled halfway across the table, reaching for me and I was standing about 6 inches away while he continued to curse and fight to get me.

" What in the world? Kaito!" He yelled. Kaito froze and turned to look at Yagri before scrambling off the table to stand. I moved back to Zero's side and smiled, waving at Yagari with a devilish grin.

"Yagari I-" began Kaito and Yagari glared at him before dissolving into laughter.

" Hey!" yelled Kaito. "It's not funny!"

Yagari managed two words . " Your face!" he chuckled, regaining his calm.

" You better run Yagari." I added. Kaito ran towards Zero with a look that said ' I will kill you' . Yagari saw this and opened the door and went out closing it in a matter of 3 seconds. Before Kaito could stop himself he ran face first into the door.
