A/N: okay, I'm so so so so so sorry that this has taken me like three weeks to write or something but I have so much revision to do for my GCSE's and exams that they had to take priority. I still have some GCSEs to do but I will continue to write. But it will be a while between each update, probably. Sorry it's so short as well. I got everything I wanted in but in about 1400 words. I'm special... Also, Happy birthday to me for June 1st if anyone's interested! No? Okay... R&R!

"Will you just talk to me about this, Kimi?!" He had gone after her after a few minutes of emotional battling himself. It was 3.49am and he did not have the patience for this so early.
"What is there to talk about?" Her smile was sickly sweet.
"Why you just stormed out of your room? Why you're mad at me about my dreams? Why you're dreaming about your dad's death after nearly two years? Take your pick!" He was far too tired to put up with this act.
"I didn't storm. I walked calmly out. One minute you're telling me you're in love with me, the next you're telling me you're dreaming about another girl whilst we were together. Do you not get it? And I don't know what you want me to say about my dream." She poured more coffee into her mug.
"Oh my god Kimi. You're being so difficult. We used to be able to talk about anything. Just because of my feelings for you and whatever was between us doesn't mean we can't be like that anymore. I thought you were the brains of this group. I genuinely did. Maybe I should hand that title over to Southern Barbie." Rai spat.
Smack. Clean across Rai's face. He had a handprint and a slight bruise was already beginning to appear. "Don't you dare speak to me like that again. My father is dead and it's all because of me being here. It's this entire place's fault. You don't even know what I went through when I got back. When I finally return, you're all over me then all of a sudden there's the girl you're really in love with in your head? No, that isn't enough for me. I can't do this. I'm sorry." She grabbed another mug of coffee and began to walk away.
"Is that it then? You're not even going to give me a chance? When you hit me, I saw Kimiko. Then you started the whole self-pity talk. Kim, you were the fire behind the group. You never just stayed strong for the team; you would either tell us to stop whining, man up and grow a pair or you'd just break down and right now? I can't tell what you're doing. Sort it out, Kimi. You're fire and I can't function with you like this."
"Whatever, Rai, whatever. I'm done with you and this and everything. Just leave me alone. This" she gestured to in between them, "is over and it has been for a long time. Go and get the girl in your dreams and leave me out of it."
"It's not over, it never will be over. Because I love you and this is really hard for you because you don't get it. You're the girl in my head, you just have bear ears. You're the only one I want to wake up to every morning and the only face I want to see before I go to sleep. I know you feel the same way. The way you look at me. It's the way Twila looked at Zach and the way Ashley looks at Jack. The way Anastasia looks at Omi." He took her hand and put it to his heart. He spun her around so she had her back against his chest so he could whisper in her ear. "You can't deny that you feel something for me. Just admit it." He purred.
"It's over. I'm sorry." She whispered.
"You don't mean that."
"Rai, just stop. Just stop with the mind games. I never said I loved you. I never said anything like that. You're insinuating that I've acted like I had feelings for you. I never said anything. I wish I stayed in Tokyo. I never would have met you and my father would still be alive and I wouldn't be having nightmares."
"Kimiko, your father died. Nothing is going to change that. Coming here didn't increase the chance of his death." He rolled his eyes.
"Rai… My father was murdered."
"How do you know?"
"The person who did it told me. It's why I'm back here."
Omi sat meditating. Everyone was so angry with each other. Everyone was fighting and Anastasia was finally home. Where had she been? She hadn't mentioned anything about why she was back so suddenly. He didn't know what to do. Anastasia would sit and talk but it was like she wasn't there. She was just a shell. Omi was confused on what to do and he had no idea how to fix it.
Anastasia pushed open the door to Omi's room. The light radiated out of her as she felt her element battle the darkness of his room.
"Omi…" She sighed as he was meditating in the middle of his bed.
"I can't focus with light." He was monotone and in a constant state of peace.
"What do you mean?" She felt tears begin to build. He meant he couldn't focus with her.
"I can't focus with lights. I need dark and silence." He held the monotone, not once faltering into another note.
"I get it. I ran away and now you're punishing me. I'm sorry but have fun without light, without me." She slammed his door shut.
"Women…" He rolled his eyes as he shook his head. His focus returned and the meditation began all over again.
Ashley was starting to get really annoyed with Jack. All he did was think about this baby.
Whenever she tried to look vaguely sexy in tight clothing or in a normal bra or anything he'd worry about this baby. Her bump was getting larger by the day. She felt fat. It was not something she liked and she had never felt fat before. She wanted the baby but not the pregnancy. Jack would never be able to see her as her normal sexy self if she gave birth. She thought about her life in England; how it would be if she had never left. Would it even be a life worth living? The sort of things she got up to back in England; it wouldn't surprise her if she was dead, a teen mum or something. She laughed at the thought of being a teen mum. She pretty much was going to be; except she was nearly 20 now but not quite.
"Will you leave me alone?" Kimiko continued to shout at Rai.
"Not until you talk to me about this; you can't tell me your father was murdered and then just not tell me who by!" He was angrier than she had ever seen him. "Dammit, Kimi, what do you even expect from me? This isn't just going to go away! You're gonna have to talk to me soon about this."
"I haven't talked to you in, like, two years about it. Don't expect me to talk to you about this when I haven't even told Frankie."
"Tell me about the nightmares. Tell me about the death."
"I don't want to." She was going to play that game. Well, he was just as good at playing that game as she was; they had been playing it for years.
"Well we can't all get what we want, sweetheart." He snapped.
His comment hurt. She never said she didn't want him. She just implied it. "Grow up, Rai."
"Why don't you?"
Smack. "Because you're playing dirty."
He smirked. "I thought you liked that."
She raised her hand to smack his already bruising cheek. He grabbed her wrist. She tried to use her other hand but he lunged and his grip was too tight for her to fight. He pulled her body into him. She struggled but he only pulled her closer.
"You're playing rough." He was so close to his face.
She leaned in and brushed her lips against his. She moved her face to his ear and whispered lightly. "I thought you liked that." Her words brewed something within him but a light nip on the ear and he was done for. The fire in his heart blazed. He needed her now. With that light nip and the little scratch or bite; they were well on the way to dishonouring the temple dining room.
A/N: well, that can only end badly... Or can it?
R&R!
