aisha: Put a cork in it...

~Chapter 4~

Katana didnt want to go to school that morning. She wanted to stay with Zero and make sure that she got the proper treatment that she needed. But alas Stien pulled her from the room to attend the class. This left Zero alone to think. All. Day. Long. Both girls had their own problems to think about...
"KATANA! MY BEAUTIFUL SYMMETRICAL ANGEL!" Katana turned her head just as Kid slammed into her mid-section. Her eye brow twitched as he began rubbing his cheek over her shirt. She wanted to punch him off of her, he was to god damn annoying! But... Being close to someone felt good... She stood there allowing the slight warmth that came from Kid soak into her.
"Katana, Im sorry to hear what happened," He said quietly. Katana smiled gently and patted Kid's head like a puppy.

"It's fine... I mean... She's not going to die now so what is there to worry about?" Katana smiled and giggled fakely. Kid sighed.

"You know, I'm always availible if you need anoyone to talk to." Kid told her softly, like a newborn's whimper. Katana closed her eyes as tears threathened to make an appearance. Kid stood up straight and hugged her. Katana breathed in and relaxed. It had been so long sinse she had been held like this by any one other than Zero. It felt nice. She opened her eyes again and smiled at Kid.
"Thank you Kid," She whispered. Kid blushed, ever so slightly.
"Anything for my Symmetrical Angel!" They headed off to class.

~Meanwhile~

Zero lay in her infirmary bed. She was almost completely healed, mostly because of the black blood that coursed through her veins, and she wanted out. She hated being on bed arrest. Sighed once again.
"Quit sighing, your day has just started, theres no need to make it less barable to the other students," Zero looked up and saw the school nurse. She squirmed slightly. There was something off about her, something... That seemed to want to drag her in. Zero shook her head, forcing the thought from her mind.
"Sorry Medussa..." She said. The nurse just smiled at her for a moment before turning her head. 'So she has black blood... This can cause problems... I need to take her out as soon as possible. But I need it to seem like an accident... I cant just go around killing the students. Black blood... How did she get it?' Medussa walked out of the room, thinking to herself, leaving Zero alone with a sleeping Soul.

Zero looked out the window. 'Being alone gives me too much time to think... I dont want to think... It all goes back to the other night... Damn! I cant beleive I lost control like that... again!' Zero grabbed her bed sheets and gripped them as tight as she could. She never wanted that to happen again... She didnt want to scare people... She didnt want to hurt any one... Zero tried to relax and find comfort in her dreams. However, all day long her dreams were filled with pain, fear, and a blood lust she couldnt understand.

~With Katana! ~

Katana was making her way from the Cafiteria to the Infirmary. Zero would love the muffin and sweets she had gotten. She was excited to see her weapon again. Hopefully Zero would have rested and tried to get better by the time the miester got there.

She glanced to her left. Kid had walked her around the school all day. Its not like she minded, she loved his company, though his love for symmetry was slightly annoying. For now he was slilent. It was a calm silence as they made their way to the infirmary. They stopped out side the door.
"I need to go to the library, So I'll see you around. Tell Zero to get better for me, Okay?" Katana nodded with a smile before heading inside. Kid made his way to the library, the whole time grinning like an idiot.

When Katana found her way to Zero's bed, she found it empty. She placed the foods down on her bed and walked over to Soul. He was looking out his window, seemily waiting for someone. He turned his head to Katana as she stood beside his bed.
"Did you see where Zero went off too?" She asked him softly. Soul watched her for a moment.
"Yeah I did, but she said she wanted to be alone... I guess me sleeping wasnt enough for her," He grinned, showing off his sharp teeth.

"She went up to the roof. But im not so sure you want to go up there with her. She seemed to be really upset, but... I wasnt the one to tell you that," Katana smirked and grabbed the bag of sweets off of Zero's bed and ran from the room. As she slammed open the door she rushed past Maka. Katana jogged her way up to the roof of the school. After many turns and stairs she made it.

She opened the door that led to the roof carefully, so not to disturb Zero. Katana wiggled her way past the heavy door and closed it again without a sound. Zero was leaning forward against the railing, the sun still laughing evily in the sky. It was going to be another two hours before it started to sleep. The wind blew slightly pulling Zero's hair from her face. She had a sad smile on her face as she watched student below play their games and having fun.

"Zero, I braught you a chocolate muffin," Katana said happily as she stepped beside her weapon. Zero looked at Katana and a few thoughts crossed her mind. They had been together for so long, they had faced all their hardships together, but guilt ate at her. If it werent for her black blood then they wouldnt have as many hardships as they did. Katana wouldnt have had those scars. Zero had to look away from her miester.

"Im not hungry..." Katana flinched at the slight coldness in her voice. Zero was really upset she could easily tell that for what, she did not know.

"Zero, tell me whats buggin you," She whispered. Students down on the stairs tossed a hacky sack into the air. Katana watched Zero's every move. The way she swallowed, and way her eyes darted around the landscape, how her nose twitched ever so slightly as the wind picked up again. These were all the things she could tell by watching her weapon. Her best friend. Zero seemed to mull over what to say before deciding to go with the trueth.

"Dont you blame me?" Katana was taken aback by her question, however Zero didnt stop there.

" I've caused you so much pain and sorrow. I've brought nothing but bad luck to you and your family since I came to your home. Why dont you hate me?" Zero whimpered slightly. Katana felt something snap inside of her. She grabbed onto Zero's shoulders and shook her.

"DONT YOU EVER ASK THAT!" She yelled. The people down below looked up from their hacky sack game.

"WE ARE FAMILY! DO YOU UNDERSTAND?! FAMILY STICKS TOGETHER THOUGH EVERYTHING! IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT HAPPENS FAMILY HELPS FIGHT FOR EACHOTHER! THATS WHAT WE DO! BECAUSE OF THAT I COULD NEVER HATE YOU! YOU CANT HELP WHAT YOU ARE!" By the end of Katana's rant Zero was crying. Tears streamed down her face in rivers. The people down below started clapping their hands and shouting words of encouragment. Katana pulled her weapon into a strong hug.

"No matter what happens in the future, I got your back, just like you got mine," Zero nodded and clinging to her shirt.

~THE NEXT DAY~

Katana and Zero made their way down the hall after class. Zero had to stay a few more nights in the infirmary so Katana was walking her back from class. As they walked Katana noticed the whole gang standing in a room off to the side. Interested Zero and Katana walked over to them. They stopped stared at the pink and white poster that was made for Black Star and Kid.

"WHAT THE HELL DID I MISS!" Zero screamed falling to her knees.
