I updated! Okay, you can hate me, but I just don't want to end my story ;~;

My dream wasn't even a dream. I was floating in darkness, when a white canvas blew up in front of me.

"Agito, you can't cuss out store owners just because they don't make the kind of coffee you like!?" I said shrilly.

"Leave me alone. At a cafe they're supposed to sell goddamn coffee. What kind of cafe doesn't sell coffee?!" he snapped back.

At that moment thunder rumbled overhead.

"Great" I grumbled.

I looked at Agito who had walked on ahead when I had stopped to look up at the sky.

"Agito, wait up!" I said running after him.

"Be quiet", he turned down a dark, old alley.

"Um, why are we going down here?" I asked Agito nervously.

"I didn't tell you to follow me!"

I kept my mouth shut, making sure to stay close to Agito. He took no notice of me or the occasional person in the shadows of the alley.

"Will you let go of me?" he asked making me jump.

I looked down to see that I had grabbed the edge of his blue t-shirt. When I tried to, I realized I didn't want to let go of his shirt.

"Why did you go down this alley?" I asked instead.

He gave me a side look, something he was good at considering his eye patch covered his other eye.

"Wuss" he muttered and continued back down the alley.

I began to feel my tension release as we came closer to the light at the end of the alley. Suddenly my light was swallowed up. I looked up to see a man step into view.

"A-Agito-" I stuttered.

"See, this is what happens when you don't keep your goddamn mouth shut" he grumbled.

The guy was at least six feet tall. I felt my hand squeeze Agito's shirt tighter.

The dream twisted and formed into our school festival. Akito had been working on the haunted house and somehow managed to shove me and Agito in there together.

I screamed for the umpteenth time as something screamed in the house as well.

"Will you shutup!?" Agito snapped at me.

"And let go of me, I'm not your support" he said shaking his arm around.

"Noo!" I sobbed, clutching him tighter," I'm scared!"

"I swear to God I'll kill you when we get out of here" he threatened.

"That's if I don't die while we're in here!"

I dropped to the ground a little farther down the maze after being scared a few more times.

"What the hell?! Will you let go so I can leave!" he snapped.

I was pretty much dragging him to the floor with me. At the moment though, I didn't care. This place was fricking scary. And I had heard that Akito had come up with most of the ideas. That kid was a monster inside.

I was aware of Agito yelling at me, but all I heard were the shrill screams. Finally I felt myself fall over and Agito wrench his arm out of my grasp. Shoving his hands into
his pockets, he continued walking through.

He's not even fazed!

A shrill scream behind me had me running in terror after him.

The dreams canvas once again, changed.

"Awww, Agito look at the cute little doggy! Aren't you just the cutest thing!? Yes, you are" I cooed over the little puppy.

Agito eyed it boredly.

"I don't like dogs" he said blandly before walking off.

"Eh!? We can't just leave it here!" I pleaded.

"It was fine before we came along".

"What if it gets attacked? Or hit by a car? What if it dies because of us?" I stressed.

"Then take it home".

I froze.

"I can't. Agito, why don't you take it home. I'm sure Akito likes dogs" I offered.

"No, because then I have to deal with it" he was getting farther away.

I gave the dog one last affectionate pat, then went after Agito.

The dream faded out, and came to a memory I knew all too well.

"What are you talking about?" I asked, confused by the question.

"Don't get mad at me! Its just that well, I just kind of assumed... cause of the rumors and such, ha, ha" Amaya laughed.

"What rumors?" I asked suspiciously.

"Well, you know Lind, that total hottie in the next class? Well he was going around saying how Agito got bit by a girl, like a love bite you know? I thought it was a bit excessive, but then someone mentioned how you two hung out all of the time so..." she trailed off.

I gaped at her. Was she for real? And Lind, the next time I saw him, ugh, I was going to punch him. I walked into the classroom mulling over the stupid rumor. I shouldn't even care to be honest, but I was so pissed about that Lind spread it. Sometimes...

I sat down at my desk with a huff. This was stupid. I would just let it go. No need to get worked up over something stupid like a rumor.

"Hey isn't that the girl who bit her boyfriend?"

"Isn't he that like eyepatch delinquent?" I heard two boys whisper.

I broke my pencil, seething in anger. Agito lifted his head beside me.

"Who the fuck is talking about me" he mumbled.

I took deep breaths, begging myself to let it go.

"Did you just break my pencil?" Agito asked.

I suddenly remembered taking his. It was black and looked exactly like the shattered splinters of wood in my hand.

"Did you want it back?" I asked slowly.

"Its my fucking pencil yes I want it back!"

"Here" I said smiling, dumping it on his desk.

Agito swiped my brand new mechanical pencils and dumped the lead on the floor. I stared unbelievingly as he crushed it underfoot, and tossed the empty pencils back to me.

"What was that for!" I yelled.

Classmates turned to look at us.

"You broke my pencil, I broke yours" he stated.

"You broke all of them you jerk! Now what am I going to use!?" I demanded.

He ignored me, attention turned to the window.

"Hey, isn't that the love-bite couple?" I heard a girl whisper.

"Yeah, yeah. Wait, didn't the girl make him bleed?"

"What a sadist!"

Okay, first of all, Agito, was the sadist. Second, how dare they discuss that in front of me! Before I could turn my wrath on them, Agito spoke.

"What the hell are they talking about?" Agito grumbled.

"Our supposed sadistic relationship" I snorted.

"Like I would ever date you" he muttered.

"What?" I asked, not sure if I heard him right.

"If I would date a girl, it wouldn't be a princess" he said.

I knew Agito had been in for some rough past weeks, but this one, for some reason hit me like an arrow. To anyone it would seem like a jeer, but I knew the truth behind his words.
He might as well said "Princesses don't belong here, go the hell away and cry in your luxury castle".

And even as I slept, I felt tears trickle down the side of my face and into my ears.

The next chapter will be short and sad, I'm sorry. But not really

~Kaori~
