CHAPTER 4: Secrets

My scar burned the next several days. I would wake up in the middle of the night screaming. Blue Star would try to calm me down, but that didn't always work.

That dream of him killing me has also been reoccurring, causing the pain of my scar. It bothered me that I had to re-live that stupid nightmare every freakin' day.

Although, what hurt me the most though was the fact that I couldn't tell Blue Star about it. I would sometimes try to avoid him, which pained me to do so, as well as shrug his arm off whenever he put it around me. I even accidentally pulled my blade on him when he was trying to calm me down. So not cool.

School wasn't even any better. Mostly all the girls would give me disgusted looks, as well as mumble some crap about me which I didn't even care to listen to. Darcy was the one to stick up for me, as well as Vivi, Layla, Bridget, and Janine. They even almost had a cat-fight with this one group at lunch.

All these dumb rumors kept tearing me on the inside, so I decided to stay home for a little bit. My mom asked me why, and I responded by telling her that my scar keeps hurting. She nodded, and told me that I should go see Professor Stein more often if my scar is bothering me...so I did.

"Do you know why your scar is hurting?" Stein asked, looking directly at his clipboard.

I shifted in my seat. "I...I don't feel comfortable explaining, Professor."

He looked up at me, quizzical. "Kami," he started. "I can't help you unless you tell me the reason why your scar is hurting. If you don't want my help, then just say so, I won't pressure you."

Stein was right. If I don't tell him about my nightmare then I would continue suffering.

I took in a breath, and spoke. "I...I had a nightmare..."

Professor nodded his head. "Okay..."

"I was performing in Tokyo...and after I sang the first part of my song, someone screamed..." I felt tears well up in my eyes. "And I saw Ryder and the others fight...and...and die......"

Stein leaned back in his chair, letting me cry a little. He waited patiently for me to continue.

"Who...who killed them?" He asked carefully.

"B-Blue Star..." I answered. "He was being controlled ny my damn black blood self-"

"Self?" Stein cut in. "What are you talking about?"

"I'm guessing that just like how my father had the little demon, my black blood created another me, but being controlled by black blood." I explained.

Professor Stein looked somewhat shocked. He wrote several notes down on his clipboard. I was quiet for a few moments until he started to speak.

"So, your black blood self was the one controlling Blue Star in your nightmare?" he asked.

I nodded. "Yes."

"Have you told Blue Star about this nightmare?" Stein asked again, not bothering to look up from his clipboard.

My hands started to ball in my lap, while tears welled up in my eyes again. I was silent for a few seconds.

"You didn't tell him, didn't you?" he asked, slightly surprised.

I shook my head. "I can't ...it's...it's just too painful..."

Professor Stein stood up from his chair and placed a hand on my shoulder. I looked up, tears streaming down my face.

"A weapon and meister shouldn't keep secrets from each other unless it's necessary. You and Blue Star have the strongest bond I've ever seen. He's your best friend right?"

"Yes..." I replied weakly.

"Then if he's really your best friend, then he would understand what you're going through. I doubt he'll get angry."

He's not the one dealing with black blood, Professor Stein...how's he gonna understand what I'm going through? I thought as I took a shower.

It's been at least three days since my conversation with Professor Stein. He was right that I shouldn't keep secrets from own meister, but to me, this one is absolutely necessary to keep. I mean, I don't want to tell Blue Star that he was the one who killed me in my nightmare. That would be pretty weird. But, I don't know, I'm going to have to tell him sometime...so I decided that today is the day.

I turned off the water quickly and dried myself off. I put some lotion, deodorant, and powder then put my clothes on. After that I put on my pink robe, blow-dried and combed my hair, then walked out to the living room.

My heart was beating extremely fast. It's not that hard Kami, just tell Blue Star about your nightmare. You can't keep a secret like yours forever. my conscience said. It was right of course. I mean, secrets can't last forever, especially one like mine.

"Blue Star," I called out once I stepped in the living room. "I...I need to tell you something..."

I didn't notice he wasn't here until I lifted my head up. I heard a faint "Okay hold on! I'll be there in a minute!" coming from his room. I sighed and decided to turn on the TV.

It was about five to ten minutes later until my meister came out. He jumped over the couch and landed right next to me, which freaked the hell out of me.

"God, Blue Star!" I shrieked. "I hate when you do that! It freaks me out!"

He wore that adorable grin on his face and burst out laughing. I blushed furiously and averted his gaze.

"That is precisely why I did it. I'm sorry though, I didn't mean to scare you that much," he apologized. I just rolled my eyes. "So what did you wanna talk about? Sorry I made you wait, I was changing..."

My body tensed. For a moment I completely forgot that I was going to tell him about my nightmare. I twiddled my fingers, and stood silent. There was no going back.

"Kami?" he said. "What's wrong?"

I took in a breath, and tightened my hands into fists. Here's your chance Kami. Tell him.

"I...I have a nightmare that keeps on reoccurring. It makes me wake up screaming in the middle of the night and causes pain to my scar..." I said.

Blue Star kept focus on me. I could tell he was slightly shocked that it was a nightmare that was triggering my pain. He just stood there silent, waiting for me to continue.

"That nightmare...involved you and our friends...but it had a devastating twist that's scarred me..."

I started to choke on my words as tears formed into my eyes. I tried to hold them back but they just fell freely down my cheeks.

"What was it?" Blue Star took hold of my hands and gently wiped away the tears that were streaming down my face.

"You...you killed me...you were being controlled by the black blood and you killed me..." I managed to say while crying.

This hurt so much to tell my best friend that he killed me in my nightmare. Blue Star straightened up, staring at me with wide eyes.

"So that's why you've been somewhat avoiding me..." he sighed.

I was waiting for him to walk out or ask me why I didn't tell him sooner, but he didn't. He took me in his embrace and whispered comforting words to me.

"I wouldn't dare harm you, Kami. You're my best friend...there's no reason for me to hurt you." he smiled.

I widened my eyes. "What?"

Blue Star grinned at me, and wiped my tears. "Didn't you hear me?"

I nodded. "You told me you wouldn't dare hurt me because I'm your best friend..."

"That's not what I meant..." he said. I looked at him confused.

"You didn't hear me when I told you that I love you,"

Shock burst through my system, delaying me from answering. My head was still trying to process what has just been said.

"I've been meaning to tell you, although I never had the courage, but I figured that now is the right time. I thought you were rejecting me when you didn't respond..." Blue Star explained.

I stood up and walked over to the mirror that hung in the living room. I untied my robe and dropped it halfway. I lifted up my shirt, and stared at my scar.

"How could you love me when I have this hideous mark?" I asked.

My meister walked over to me and looked in the mirror. He swept my hair to the side, which sent shivers down my spine, and grazed my scar with his finger.

"Kami..."

"Hmm..." I managed to say.

"You're beautiful."

I let out a small chuckle. "Yeah right...I look hideous now that I have this..." I said while pointing at my stitched-up wound.

I tried to pull down my shirt but Blue Star stopped me. "What are you-"

"This scar," he interjected. "Doesn't make a single dent on your beauty. It just can't. You will stay beautiful no matter what,"

I turned around and looked up at him. "Really?"

"Yes really," he smiled. "I love you, Kami."

Those three words made my heart jump. All these years I've only heard those words from my family, and yet my meister was the one telling me those words right now.

"Blue Star," I smiled. "I love you too."

The moment I said that our lips touched. It felt like magic. I could feel him smile as I kissed back gently. He licked my bottom lip, begging for entrance, so I parted my mouth slightly. We both deepened the kiss, and decided to catch air after about a minute of two.

"Sleep with me tonight?" Blue Star asked in between the kisses he continued to give me.

"Mm-hmm..." was all I managed to say.

He picked me up bridal style and brought me to his room. I took off my robe and hung it on his desk chair and slid into his bed. Blue Star slid right next to me, wrapping his arm around my waist. He kissed my neck, probably leaving marks in the process. Oh great, how am I going to hide those?

Blue Star gave me one last kiss on the lips before laying down. He turned his head and grinned.

"I love you Kami."

I smiled softly. "And I love you, Blue Star."
