Chapter 9:

How You See Me Is Nothing But A Lie

ENJOY!!

Recap:

I turned to the window, opening the glass paine, kilo said something that clearly caught my attention.

"your giving up?"

I froze.

"I never said anything about giving up!" I shouted at them.

"then why are you leaving!?" she shouted back.

"I...I need to think about a few things..." I said, my expression solemn.

This time:

-ichijo's pov-

i stood there with kilo, trying to make sense of the situation.

"you wanna know somethin' about tenma?" kilo asked me sorrowfullly.

"what is it, kilo?" I replied, dreading what she might say.

"when she was stuck with the council, everyday she would tell me how much she hated it, but she hated seeing ichio basicly torture other people. She didn't want to see you or the others facing that kind of torture. That's what she told me at least."

I was shocked, to say the very least. She knew how his grandfather acted, but she still took all the insults, the bruises, so no one else had to? That's insane! "

I can't believe I didn't see it..." I said, my head lowering slightly.

"That's because your blind. Blind to her life, and her intentions." Kilo said, taking a step towards the window, placing her hands on the cold glass.

"I don't get what you mean" I said, confused. What was she saying, I've always seen things about her clearly.

"That's your problem, not mine" she said, walking out the door. "and you might want to solve it soon"

-Tenma's Pov-

I don't know where I am, and at this time, I could honestly care less. Guilt soon overtook me, I had shouted at my best friend, my Only friend. That was a new low, even for me. I can't believe I did that to her! I mentally slapped myself, ignoring the tears pooling in my eyes. At least out here, I wouldn't be able to hurt any of them.

The tears were threatening to spill over, but I just let them, no use in holding them back, when no ones around to see you cry? My mask of smiles and passivness was gone, and all I could do was sit there, and let the salty liquid fall from my face. It's all I could ever do.

But I was soon interrupted, by a gentle hand on my shoulder, and someone's kind voice. "tenma, why are you all the way out here?"

"k-kaname?" I asked, my throat dry and cracked.

"ichijo's been running the area in a panic, looking everywhere for you. Kilo had informed me you left, but I didn't think I would come out here to see you like this..." he said, taking one of his hands and brushing the tears from my cheeks.

"what's with you?" I asked, chuckling slightly.

"care to elaborate?" he asked, confused at my action.

"what's this, 'fucking with tenma's head day?"

"Once again, care to elaborate?" kaname asked, sitting me up so I was leaning on his arm.

'what's with this guy?!' I thought, attempting to move away. But what surprised me, was that my body had literally no strength.

"tenma, are you sure your alright?" kaname asked, his voice laced with worry.

I wanted to tell him I was, but that damn noise was back, and at once I recognized it: it was the sound of kaname's heart, and the blood rushing through his veins. I tried to swallow the lump in my throat, but that seemed impossible.


-Kaname's pov-

I had the strangest feeling while sitting there. I knew tenma's body was trying to ignore the constant rhythm that was my heart beat. But I also knew a secret that no one but tenma, and her older brother knew: tenma does not drink blood, the reason after all was ridiculous, but I have no say in the matter, it was her choice.

"tenma-chan!"

I looked up to see ichijo running to us, his breathing coming in short gasps.


-ichijo's pov-

Running up to kaname and tenma, I felt pure relief flow through me. 'at lest she's safe' But then I felt it, her weariness, the controlled instincts. For a moment, I didn't want to approach, but kaname beckoned me to do so.

"she's harmless ichijo, you should know that more than anyone." kaname said simply, removing himself from her hold.

"Take her back to her room, stay with her." Kaname said, standing up and handing me her fragile form.

"She's been...crying?" I asked surprised.

"Whatever she said or what you two said had a real effect. It opened up some old wounds." he said quietly, hints of amusment in his tone.

"It's all the council's fault, if they left her alone she wouldn't be like this." I said, staring down at her tear-stained face.

-Tenma's Room-

"Has she awoke yet, ichijo?" kilo asked, standing in the doorway.

I turned slightly from my chair beside her bed. "No, she hasn't yet." I replied sadly.

She left, leaving aido and kain in her stead.

"Why are you watching that trash so intently? Even if it was kaname-sama's order?" aido asked, disgusted.

"Knock it off, Hanabbusa." kain said, placing a hand on his cousin's shoulder.

"Not a chance! What makes this trash so important!?" He shouted, walking farther into the room.

I stood up and walked up to aido. "you won't take another step." I said threateningly.

Aido looked surprised, but nevertheless held his ground.

Kain briskly walked up and grabbed Aido's arm. "I said knock it off!" he said again, his tone tilting dangerously.

Aido ripped his arm free and stalked out the door.

Kain sighed and turned back to face me. "Tell her I'm sorry about Aido's shit." He said.

"You should tell her yourself" I replied.

Kain smirked. "One, she'd never believe me. Two, she trusts you more than us." Kain said, turning to leave.

"Why would you think that?" I asked, confused.

"By the way, she's been awake the whole time, just so you know." Kain said, walking out the door.

I turned back to look at the bed and sure enough, she was sitting there, looking pissed, but otherwise I could spot nothing out of the ordinary.

"YoZ" Tenma said, smiling slightly.
