Augito's body seemed almost completely paralyzed by her strain and the immense amount of agony her breathing was causing her. However as soon as a hand touched her that immobility seemed to melt away and she instantly wrapped a hold tightly on Zed's neck, it was the first time she had been so bold. "Zed!" Her elbows rested on his shoulders as her tremulous body shuddered with her sobs. Her eyes were still blurred so she didn't bother to open them, but the way he began to hold her only made her confirm that it was, in fact, the one she loved. Feeling relief strike her hard and painfully in her chest as tension was awkwardly released from her lungs; bringing an icy chill that burned. Augito's body began to become numb as her adrenaline was virtually sucked from her body and her crying was already beginning to subside. Her bleeding had also stopped, but the blood still remained wet on her forehead and knees, the scrape on her elbow not deep enough to secrete blood. She said his name again sweetly, with more relief and tenderness rather than the desperation and fear it had held before. She was smiling weakly and still embracing what she could of Zed's upper body. "I love you... I don't know what I'd do without you... The only thing I will ever do is love you forever..." Augito's voice was a stiff whisper, the air emerging from her body with considerable effort and stress on her abnormally light being. "I promise... I'll love you forever..." Augito was oblivious to the act Zed was pulling, resting her frail head against his knuckles at first in an act of affection, but then was unable to relieve it from that spot. Her body lost will and stiffness in one great sigh. Her head becoming limp on his hand, her red lids closed and her face free of all their previous emotions. Her arms slowly began to slip from its hold around Zed's neck and Augito became dead weight. However, as Zed probably already knew, even in dead weight it was like she was never there. Augito's breathing had still yet to recover, but with the absence of her emotions her weak body was generally guaranteed to return to its normal breathing and heart rate after a period of time. Her fingers began to slide down his chest, her left hand already lying lifelessly on her gut before the fingers on her right hand snagged onto his clothing. Almost like even when she was unconscious all she wanted to do was be with Zed.

Z3d was filled with doubt, almost as if he didn't expect her frail little body to be taken out by such a harmless blow. Perhaps he was underestimating his strength, or didn't feel that he was truly the one controlling his movements. It was almost like he didn't trust himself, but that was understandable. No one could trust him. As he gazed quietly at her still, light body, the seriousness evaporated. What have I done. His pure, clear eyes blinked slowly, absorbing her delicate little figure that grabbed at his clothes. Now that she was motionless, submerged in the darkness of her subconscious, he did not smile. He had no need. He heard a frail mew coming from the panther cage, too small to be from one of the large wild cats. Zed hesitantly let his stare drift, but with silent defeat, he could not locate Abel. By the time Zed had returned Augito to her dorm, the sun had sunk for the day. Her wounds were hastily tended to; Zed feared that she would awaken. He was aware of his pathetic fear of Augito, even her weak, distinct voice brought upon shudders to Zed and stirred his emotions. He had laid her attentively in bed, under the blankets in hopes of false accusations of dreams. Even while carrying out these suspicious deeds, Zed felt selfish. Yes indeed, that emotion stung him deeply, one he had never shown to Augito. It was impossible to figure out what he could have been possibly doing to make him feel greedy. If anything, his actions should give him the taste of satisfaction or misery. Nothing in between. But he departed, with this feeling gnawing at his very core, and the image of Augito's small, battered figure on the ground, calling out for him. Somehow, Zed did not hesitate.

Augito was known for being a light sleeper, and only being asleep for a few minutes at a time. Or, at least, that's how she used to be. Her slumbers were still not very sound but the abnormality of the case sent her mind into a sort of suspended animation. It was almost like she was floating in darkness, she could see herself, and hear herself but see and hear nothing and no one else. Floating under black water where everything was muffled and echoed to a point where she was always dizzy, sleepy. Zed... She called, and the quiet echo of her voice chilled her. She sounded so small, and so lonely. Zed...! She called again, a little louder, beginning to become scared by the oppressive loneliness of the place. However the changes of pitches and volumes in her voice didn't seem to change there. Constant, quiet, and almost sad. When the darkness of her mind dissolved into the darkness of the outside world Augito barely noticed. Thinking of herself still being trapped in that strange, dark place until she felt the familiar touch of her blankets beside her. Augito's heavy lids revealed her pale gaze completely, the outline of her body lifting suddenly from the covers was barely noticeable. The small lift of her chin changed angles as she looked about the room, blinking as her wide eyes sheared through the darkness to see nothing. That nothing scared her. She cringed where she sat, small fingers gripping the covers, that silence made her shiver. It was much too quiet. Her eyes relayed the room again, it was only when she faced her gaze closest to the wall that she was greeted with a wide, gleaming gaze that were eerily filled with light. Augito's eyes widened, so scared that she fell off her bed and onto her back where K.G. made a grab for her wrists. Augito screamed and stifled her sobs as loud whimpers emitted from her, throwing her limbs about in an effort to keep him away. She felt something sharp cut across her shoulders in an attempt to shred her shirt. Wriggling fiercely to the sound of K.G.'s raspy, flowing laughter she began to cry. Feeling blood dampen her clothes onto her shoulder. She squealed and screamed as she felt K.G. lick at her bleeding shoulder, his tongue feeling utterly repulsive against her skin. Her frail body shivered and shook until eventually she could squeeze through the space between his bent arm and his knee. Being small had its advantages at some point. She shook with fear as tears fell. Her crying would be easy to ignore compared to her face which seemed almost haunted. Pale, ghostly, and fatigued with some of the blood from her shoulder, that was beginning to plaster the entire sleeve of her shirt to her arm, smeared on her cheek. Her tiny fingers gripped her injured shoulder, the pain was fresh and her mind was so consumed with the thoughts of getting away and the pain that she was running aimlessly. Through the door and through mazes of halls until she emerged outside. She didn't know where to go, every dark corner could have K.G. in it, behind every tree, in every bush, in every hall, watching her with his piercing blue eyes. Augito was beginning to hyperventilate again, unbelievably afraid as she ran aimlessly into the night. Not knowing that K.G. wasn't following her, he was too busy being in her room. Licking her blood off the blade of the knife he had cut her with, inhaling her scent that was fresh on her bed. With a far away look in his eyes, his grin wide and thin, teeth glinting in the pale moonlight that gleamed faintly through the window. Listening to Augito's paranoid and shaken screams with pleasure, muffled only slightly by the window. The cut was deep and K.G. knew she wouldn't be able to run for very long, then he would collect her. The thought of it made his grin widen, once again running his tongue over the chilly blade, her blood already lapped away.

Captivated by the dark solitude of the glittering water, Zed stood in silence with the reflection of the stars mirrored on the ocean water in his eyes. A faint drizzle disturbed the still quietude, but didn't threaten a storm. He hadn't gone very far, a decent walking distance from the school. At this time of night, the calm location of the beach was empty, even the life guard stand deserted. When I look at the sea.. He blinked slowly, hands sunk into the depths of his uniform pockets. "I forget about all the bad things that have happened." The wind carried his short, ashen hair causing the strands to cascade down his forehead. A forest of trees stood, stationed behind the beach. Roy had left one of the girl's rooms, muttering bitter curses under his breath while he departed. He hadn't made it out of the dorm area when he heard weird noises and clamor. He spotted a familiar figure racing down the halls, followed by terrified screams. He stalked on behind her, half heartedly. Roy however, started to lose her, and picked up a run after her. It took a bit, but he finally somewhat caught up, his heart burning. "God, didn't know such a small fry like you could run so fast." Roy lifted a hand to grab lightly onto his shirt, his breathing became slight wheezes. He noticed her gripping her shoulder, but didn't give it enough of a look to figure out why.

Augito's cheeks were bestowed a flushed, red color. Brought about by the strain of her mind and body. Her small figure cutting corners so sharply that she sometimes hit her injured shoulder on them with a shrill cry. She was broken out in a cold sweat and the air about her encircled in her heaving lungs painfully. Her eyes darted and she trembled so much it was hard to believe she had the balance to run. She struggled to keep her body erect, the faint noises and wheezes she heard behind her sent her mind into a panic attack. The voice was getting closer, her breathing and heartbeat became harder. Her hyperventilating became stronger, her eyes wide and pallet dry. At the sound of a familiar voice Augito turned her small face to look at Roy. Her face looked even more terrified in the dim lighting. The shadows on her face deepened and darkened from her paled skin and gaunt expression. Her eyes reflected her frail being so well they were almost hard to look at. Her lips were slightly parted and her tiny fingers gripped tighter onto her blood soaked sleeve. Her dark blood beginning to run slick on her fingers and gather at the tips, the arm itself looking limp. At the sight of Roy she slowed completely to a stop, her eyes still large as her heart continued its fret in her chest. Augito was wheezing with Roy, hers fainter and quicker like the breathing of a rabbit. A shudder ran from her head to her toes as she tried to swallow some of the fear that engulfed her however she still retained that frightened ghostly appearance. Crying, bleeding, and scared she wasn't able to speak very much. "A-Are you going to be alright, Roy...?" She spoke slowly as her irregular breathing put a burden on her speech. Augito's frail body had managed to carry her all the way outside, standing at the entrance. The trees were still and the air was eerily silent. Lacking the sound of leaves or crickets, a chokingly still atmosphere that made Augito's chest constrict. "Do you know where Zed is? I'm worried... He could be hurt..." She asked in a quiet, trembling voice.
"You could catch a cold..." The voice lacked concern, in fact, it was almost cold. The wind played with Ashley's long hair making it billow and flick by her hip. Her arms were folded and her body turned to Zed while her proud head looked away. Dressed casually in a shirt and shorts with a bead necklace. "You've been really stupid lately..." Ashley continued in that almost dry tone. She watched the surf absently, the white caps of the dark water peeking for mere seconds as the waves were calm that night. The chill breeze made Ashley shiver, an unreadable expression on her face. The individual emotions that made up the depths of her gaze couldn't be labeled, but their mix made it powerful. "With a lot of things..." A flash of something passed over the surface of her eyes but then left no trace. She wasn't close or far away from Zed, about an arms length yet she seemed so far away.

Delicate fingers peeled open the door that had been already slightly left ajar. A head nervously wandered into the open darkness of the room, blinking swiftly with wide eyes. "A-Augito?" She whispered, afraid the girl was already asleep. She pulled the door behind her, not closing it believing she would just end up leaving soon anyways. She was dressed in loose, comfortable shorts and a baggy shirt with some logo. Daisuki was already in her PJs, although it wasn't terribly late out. She seemed a bit anxious as if she was confused and dealing with previous irritation. "I'm sorry, are you sleeping? I just had something I wanted to ask..." The black atmosphere around her destroyed her ability to see, but she resisted the urge to flick on the lights. A think, unpleasant stench stung her nostrils, but she couldn't determine the scent or it's origin.
Roy's face transformed into the daily scowl. He slipped his hands into the middle section pocket of his jacket. Roy's neck was dipped under the collar of the hood, protected from the chilly air and light drizzles. His messy and slightly spiky hair brushed against the fabric. "Yes I'm fine, you're not my mother. And thank sweet Jesus for that, having Zed as a grandma would make me hurl." A small drop dripped on his nose, and he grimaced, his red and black hair stiffening like a feline. "Really, you don't have to worry about everyone like a newly wed wife with a husband in the army. Give us some credit, y'know." He lectured, as normal, yet unaware of her dire predicament due to the darkness and lack of curiosity. Roy shivered, yet his heart rate had slowed nearly to a happy medium. "I'm so close to not saying a word about that pansy so you better listen up before I change my mind. As much as this hurts me to say, I've known Zed for a while, horrible isn't it. And whenever that fruitcake isn't around chances are he's around the sand. You know. Ocean. Sea. Beach. Bikinis." He sighed and shrugged. "But I don't stalk the guy so it's only a guess."
Z3d's expression seemed to change at the sound of Ashley's voice, but he did not stir. His gaze continued to capture the slow moving waves, still captivated although the stars had been covered by stormy clouds. The night time breeze ruffled his uniform, his soft, distinct hair blowing along as well. "Ashley.." He acknowledged the familiar voice by a name. His voice had no tone, and his expression was unreadable. His lids lowered half way over his clear pupils calmly as he embraced the next breeze. "You have been watching me. Why?" His head finally turned to her, clear blue eyes gazing at her with a sense of silence and solitude. Lids were still lowered placidly, yet his countenance lacked a noticeable emotion. His hard, lean body remained still, clothes only following the winds pull.

The dark was pressing and the silence seemed to have its own echo. With an almost inhuman movement, different in the strangest, almost indescribable way a lamp was flicked on. Despite the click of its bulb there was no sound of shuffling fabric or of moving feet. In fact the lamp was on a small desk against the center wall. Yet the figure, the only one who could've turned the appliance on, was sitting on Augito's bed on the far wall. The lamp light was dimmer than most but was luminous enough to scare away a few shadows. "She is not in right now," K.G. spoke calmly, his words wistful and held a sort of rumble like running water. "I might be of service, however." One of his grins were already spread. Cruel on his crude face, the lamp light bathed him in a deep gold, almost amber. K.G. was fully dressed, despite his recent assail upon Augito. The clothes seemingly undisturbed by struggle and even his knife was missing. The bed was made, everything seemed fine. Nothing was out of the ordinary except K.G. himself whom smiled that grueling, all knowing smirk. Looking, at a lack of words, satisfied as he leaned his weight on his palms that positioned themselves on Augito's bed.
Augito didn't seem to react to the chilly air or the light rain that darkened and pressed her clothing even closer to her skin. The wrinkles deepening so that the cloth pressed painfully against her wound which she still clutched with her hand. She was trembling from weakness but it could've also been from the cold as her skin was most likely degraded to ice. Augito flinched and her face took on an oblivious grimace. "Do I really act like that...?" Augito mumbled quietly, her lips hardly moving. "I don't mean to..." She added in a lower tone and her upset expression slipped as her lips and cheeks drooped. She lowered her stare and her head, lids concealing half of her pale, glassy stare. "But, Zed..." She gripped the wound harder, a shudder running through her as the pain whiplashed through her arm and the blood that had gathered at her fingertips began to drip onto the floor. Unmistakably dark on the ground. "I... Don't know what to do..." Augito admitted, her sigh darkened by choked back sobs. "I try to make him happy... I try to make myself a better person, s-so he can be proud of me, I guess..." Augito's voice was starting to crack and she lowered her head further so her hair covered half of her face in shadow. "But I can't do anything right... I made him upset... I made him want to forget me, I screwed up!" Augito's shoulders trembled terribly and her pale face was stricken with tears. "I want to go to the beach! I want you to be right! I want to see him! B-but I... But I don't want him to hate me..." Her voice was a frail, and she was beginning to lose control of her breathing again. "I don't know what to do..." Her voice was becoming hoarse as depression ate her throat until it was raw. Exposed to the incredible chill and rain her sick body was showing early signs of pneumonia.
Ashley seemed to grow uncomfortable when he said her name. Her skin wrinkled momentarily at the edges of her eyes as if she was squinting into the distance, her fingers gripping a bit tighter on her arms. Yet she did not speak until she was relatively at peace again. Still and silent as the gentle wind once again played at her hair and the ends of her shorts trembled in its grip. "I thought you would notice..." She was speaking to Zed, but seemed absent as well. Debating something, perhaps. Even when Zed had turned his head to her Ashley didn't meet his gaze. Keeping hers firmly on the waves and sky. Ashley's appearance (now that I think about it) was almost completely opposite of Augito's. She appeared strong, healthy, and secluded in her own way. Her face harder to read and she was definitely taller. However something seemed amiss about her, something that polluted the very air around her head but couldn't be labeled. "Does it bother you?" Ashley's voice, despite her previous cringe, had retained that perfectly indifferent, cold voice.

Daisuki was, at first, relieved at the sudden flash of light, but flinched when saw someone very different from Augito. "You.." She whispered, memories flooding her. She had rarely ever seen him, but whenever she did, nothing good followed. She almost expected a horrified feeling to weaken her gut, but she seemed more intrigued and shocked to see him more than anything. Her attention finally returned to his words, and she almost wondered what Augito could possibly be doing this time of day, night, whatever. But then she remembered, it was Augito, and she could be doing anything. She blushed slightly, knowing that she was taking K.G.'s words a bit too seriously. "N-no it's okay, I guess I'll just talk to her later.." But even as she spoke those words Daisuki did not move. She was still, quiet and her eyes slowly drifted from him to the lamp. She gazed at the light blankly, her mind distracted. Daisuki still smelt that thick scent, but ignored it as there was nothing out of the ordinary here.
Z3d's eyes blinked slowly, his thoughts unfathomable. His mind felt empty, hollow, yet he was very confused at the same time. He didn't answer her question, but he didn't seem angry. Her icy tone finally effected him. Zed kept his stare at her, although it seemed more like he was gazing off at some unseen distance than her features. "Is everything alright?" He kept his eyes from being lured to her wrists, only captured by nothingness. "I can understand if you can't forgive me. I wasn't being fair before." Zed hinted at previous events, yet didn't propose them directly.
Roy was caught off guard by her sudden harsh sobbing, although he should have expected nothing less. He didn't seem to be absorbing half of the things she said. His head sunk deeper into the depths of his jacket stiffly. "Who cares if he hates you? You have nothing to lose, so just tell him how you feel. There's nothing worse that can happen now that you've faced rejection." He chuckled coldly. "Although it's hard to imagine Zed not being OCD over you." Roy gazed down at her, eyes blinking curtly. "Don't hyperventilate on me, I'm not fixing you." He retorted, still oblivious. "My dorm is not and never was a hospital."

K.G. grinned brighter, seeming amused by Daisuki's presence. Then again, amusing K.G. wasn't that hard. "I...?" He responded through his gleaming teeth. His eyes flickered in the lamp light. "I apologize that I can't be of use," K.G.'s grinned widened. "The topic too personal?" It seemed, by just looking at K.G.'s eyes, that he had no respect or caution for anything. By that defiant, entertained flicker in his eyes.
Ashley continued to keep her gaze fixed upon the ocean waters. When Zed began to speak to her again that absent air left her. Her body seemed to slacken but the air around her became very tense. She looked, her eyes reflecting more light than before, almost annoyed. It didn't appear like she was going to answer his question for when he spoke again she hadn't even moved let alone attempted to talk. However even before he had finished Ashley finally broke her stare away from the water to fully force a harsh glower upon Zed's form. Her deep eyes flashing and her voice low and cold. "Will you shut up!" She spat under her breath. Her fingers practically trembled by how tightly she held her crossed arms. Locking Zed with that seething gaze. "I'm not like your f.ucking midget girlfriend who needs a pat on the back every step I take! If you had any respect for me at all you wouldn't have even dared to say that s.hit to me." Her body was rigid, her blazing stare fully on Zed. "I wasn't even going to mention that..." Ashley was trying to calm herself, breathing deeply through her nose in an act to steady herself. "The way you talk and move lately are so conflicting with each other... It's strange." The fire was beginning to die down in her eyes, instead reflecting a light ache in her heart.
Augito raised her head quickly to Roy, taken off guard by his response. She watched him with unblinking eyes. Recovered from her previous outburst only small traces of her tears continued to glide along her cheeks. Her hair stuck to her body, the long bangs at the front dripping with moisture that numbed her face. Her body was alive with shudders and she continued to look paler making the green of her eyes bolder. "I-I'm sorry... I've never tried t-to take advantage of you..." She whispered honestly, finally blinking and lowering her stare to the ground which was beginning to hold small puddles. Her lids lowered and her frown became deeper. "'Rejection'...?" She whispered, she could've repeated it for just herself but it was hard to tell. "I just thought he was mad at me..." Augito fought not to squeeze harder onto her shoulder wound. "I thought rejection was when you were denied of another's affection... So why did he say he loved me two hours before if he was going to 'reject' me...?" Augito brooded on the subject for a moment before she realized she had said it aloud. Heat managed to find its way onto her icy cheeks, her eyes widening and she turned her gaze to Roy. "I-I didn't mean to say that!" At the first warning of another of Augito's frantic spaz attacks her shoulders pulsed painfully. The previous embarrassed expression on her face whipped off completely. Augito squeezed her eyes shut and flinched, squeezing the wound in an attempt to ward off the pain. More of the dark liquid dripping onto the ground.

Daisuki's blush intensified, but she began to pull the door in front of her. "I-it's fine I'm not exactly sure how I was able to convince myself to come in the first place." Her eyes swirled around the room once more, unable to find anything suspicious that could've caused Augito to be hurt or spooked. Her face regained the normal peach shade, cheeks no longer blazing. She almost wanted to say a farewell, but it never came naturally to people she hardly knew. Daisuki had almost brought the door to a complete shut when she faltered. "What is your name?" She said with a placid voice while her eyes blinked slowly.
Roy gazed at her blankly, his brows pointed irritatedly. His shoulders sagged in a shrug. "I don't know what went on, and I guess it's better that way. Full on rejection or not, the way you made it sound was just as bad. Augito, words are words. You only fear that word because it sounds worse than angry, but is it really any different?" Roy felt a few stray drops dampen his hair slightly. He stiffened; his hate for being wet made him aggravated. As much as he normally tended to lecture, he wanted out bad. "As to what Zed said, I don't freaking know. Figure it out yourself. If you'd like me to be a fortune teller, you better cough up the cash, and first, mind." His gaze locked on her blushing face, sensing some signs of pain, but he took advantage of it rather than sympathize. "Why are you so embarrassed? You don't need to act like you've been living under a rock, or rather don't be stupid. Everyone knows you and Zed have got a thing, so there's no reason to be protective over the details." He finally slipped his hood over his head, face still resumed a tight scowl. "You either go or you don't. I couldn't care less. I'm outta here."
Zed's lids did not shift, nor did his gaze move. He gazed at her still with that calm, and quiet expression. He didn't show any signs of being offended by her words. "Hmm you're right. I guess it really is my fault you hate me so much." He linked his hands together and pulled his arms behind him to stretch. The atmosphere around him felt very still, and he fell very quiet. His expressions were finally showing, casual yet somehow confused also. "Is that so.." He answered with a reverie caught stare, somewhat delayed. Zed's gaze finally lifted from her, returning to the slow moving waves with sagging lids. "Where is it you go when you want to forget things, Ashley?"

K.G. watched her silently as she slowly fled. His stare never faltering, that amused look in his eyes still shinning brightly. His thin lips stretched into a wider smile, the points of his teeth gleaming in the amber light. "My name is K.G...."
Augito's shoulders trembled, her stare still faced away towards the ground. It was starting to hurt to breath, her breath becoming sharp but she paid it no mind. Rather she just waited for the feeling to be numbed. Roy's words had stung her deep and she felt a very heavy feeling in her heart. She couldn't bring herself to met his gaze throughout most of his speech. Her lids sagged throughout, she was listening but also appeared lost. Her cheeks gathered minimal heat, not blushing as much as she would have if Augito wasn't still distracted by the heavy feeling within her. "'A thing'...?" She repeated quietly, soft voice barely audible. Even when Roy mentioned leaving Augito didn't stir. She blinked slowly, if at all, for a long period of time. Standing in the soft showers until even those small drops of rain had gathered enough to soak her to the bone. The pain in Augito's chest had left but she could scarcely breath. She couldn't feel her fingers and she was starting to become dizzy. It felt like her blood was draining from her head, she felt so light and her vision was beginning to fade completely and suddenly. "'Words are words'...?" Augito blinked slowly, her lids sagging further, blackness taking up her vision every few seconds. Her arms felt limp and awkward as she took out her cell phone. She had won it sometime in her life, Augito had forgotten where. It was a very ugly model, old and bulky. Augito felt a seizing pain in her chest as she prepared to speak. She knew she would faint if she tried to walk, her breathing deep as she tried to fill that empty feeling in her head. However it only made her dizzier, she felt like she was spinning and her head began to lift as her legs started to lose strength. She dialed Zed's number, faintly remembering how nervous she had been to ask for it. She didn't know what she would tell him, only that she desperately wanted to just tell Zed she loved him. She fell to the ground suddenly but didn't feel it. The ground was rank and cold along her side, her cell phone still pressed to her ear. Rain was able to fall freely onto her wound and the chilly drops felt boiling on the raw tissue. The spinning was getting worse, her breathing getting shallower. Augito had actually been standing in the rain for hours just debating what it meant for one to love another and whether she was worthy to love him at all.
"When did I ever say I hated you? Stop putting words in my mouth..." Ashley retorted quietly, her voice low but a little too bitter to be indifferent again. After her outburst she didn't really care to shelter herself, looking more wistful but still tense. Ashley for a moment kept her stare on Zed, her eyes growing a painful expression until she looked away. She kept her stare averted, the weak reflection in her eyes returning as the hurt softened in her stare. Her breathing had returned to normal but her lips were rigid. "I go home and slit my wrists." She replied bluntly. Her stare not faltering from the calm tides. "Pain helps me forget things." She explained, her voice obtaining a low hum like she was looking into her memories. Ashley was quiet for a dreadfully long time until she finally spoke again, her voice placid and wondering. "What do you try to forget, Zed...?"

Daisuki nodded curtly. "Good night....K.G." She pulled the door completely in front of her and, without looking back, began to return to her own room.
Roy stared at her hopeless scene with careless eyes, no longer finding entertainment in her depressed state. The rain fell harder, yet he could not find himself able to wrench his stare from her pathetic position. As ashamed as he felt, he couldn't help but be slightly curious if the carefree high schooler picked up or not. Eventually after the third ring, what little interest he held before dissolved, and he began to depart the way he came.
For the first time that night, Zed chuckled. "Well that's a shocker. You speak as though you are a snake, mouth bursting with venom." His hand shifted slightly in his pocket, quiet but not motionless while she talked. The wind tossed his hair, and he sighed softly. "I see." He responded to her powerful sentence with two simple words. There was rustling in the foliage behind, but he did not seem alerted by it. Zed finally turned to her, the harsh overcast breeze pounding on the loose ends of his uniform. "When I do stupid things." His hands slipped from his pockets, accidentally knocking out his cell phone. Zed's palms extended to her face and his lips pressed tightly against hers, oblivious of the mobile phone vibrating in the sand.

K.G. waved silently to her as she left. Staring after her like he could see through the door. His smile had dwindled a bit but he was still smiling nevertheless. "Well, I suppose she's weakened enough by now..." He mumbled to himself, fingering the handle of his dagger that he had hidden beneath his palm. His pointed teeth gleaming once again in the lamp light. He then began to chuckle quietly. "My word, Zed, you're quite the fun one to dance with." He said absently to the shadows.
Augito's fingers shook as she waited. Hearing it ring numbly in her ear. Three rings, and still nothing. Zed please pick up... Her head was so light, her vision was completely lost to her. She didn't need her sight, she figured, so she continued to wait. Five rings, she attempted to swallow but felt nothing. Please pick up... The muscles in her numb fingers were locked in their positions, puddles beginning to gather on the ground around her. She was becoming so frightfully pale that her lids and thin lips looked unnaturally red. She still waited her shivers became so monotonous that it didn't look like she was moving anymore.
It was hard for Ashley to keep her stare adverted as Zed laughed, stealing a glance at him only to regret it later as a dull ache came to her. "If you have no venom you'll be carried away." She answered simply, her arms still crossed. Almost mumbling in that careless tone of hers. At Zed's touch she froze and at his kiss, well, her eyes could get no wider. She didn't expect the kiss whatsoever but it didn't take her long before she reacted. Her mind was rushed and cluttered with emotions and confusion but that didn't stop her from leaning into the kiss. Her hands running tentatively along his broad shoulders, long fingers caressing their outline. Her lips pressed to his passionately, looking at Zed's face beneath her lashes and felt herself burn inside.

Once Ashley's eyes lifted to his face, his gaze reflected hers and his eyes flashed thoughtfully. After a long, enduring silence, he pulled away. Zed's expression was currently unreadable, eyes drifting slighty back to the skies. His hair was slightly wet and the damp strands pressed closely to his scalp. A petite figure emerged from the trees somewhat noisely, as if they were not trying to hide their arrival. He wore dark clothing, nearly camoflouging with the darkness of the night. A younger boy gazed down at Augito's bleeding body, chocolate eyes wide. "Wow, I never thought I'd meet you in person." He was dangerously close to her, but didn't pose much of a threat. "You really are tiny." His voice contained restricted awe, eyes not moving away from her. Although he was obviously younger than Augito, his long limbs made him slightly taller. He was dry, previously keeping a safe distance from the rain. His long sleeve shirt and lean pants kept his skin warm and untouched by the wet atmosphere, as well as a large hat that sheltered his silky, black hair. "Hmm you look kinda bad, can you see me?" He churred, almost talking to her like one would talk to a pet. "You've got to have at least a little fight in you. Come on.." He urged, extending a hand quite close to her with a content countanance, very parallel to the way someone had offered only hours before. iunno if I'm going to post a desc for him so here's the ref: boop

Ashley was, only for a moment, still lost in her passion. Looking up at Zed behind her lashes with heated cheeks. Then, slowly, she began to realize and her eyes widened. Her fingers curled into fists, still resting on his shoulders. "W-why?" Ashley shivered, her stare locked on Zed's face. "Why did you do that?" She almost screamed it, her countenance confused and upset. Squeezing her eyes shut tightly enough to where she could prevent tears, her head turning away. "D.amn it, zed! You either love me or you don't! You're so confusing!" Now she was shouting, but still remained close to him. Her shoulders began to tremble and her eyelids burned, but she still made the useless effort to stay strong.
Augito's breathing was an audible struggle, the heave of the weak organs burned and made her wheeze. Her lashes hovered over her cheeks in a small effort to see who spoke to her. Her mind so ill balanced that she could hardly recognize the noise as a voice. The voice was distinctive, powerful against the familiar sound of rain so that each word ran clear in her light head like that of a bell in an empty church tower. Augito's shoulder wound was being roughly and painfully cleaned by the rain, the washed blood running along the rest of her uniform and staining most of her clothing. Her protests were thoughts, the mere contractions of her lungs made them swell and pulsate with agony. Please leave me alone... I'm waiting... Her lids closed completely, she could hear her heartbeat as a pulsation in her brain. I'm waiting for someone... I'm be okay... Augito's lips became wet with bloody water, a few drops gliding along the outline of her bottom lip before it fell onto the ground. I know he's coming... I'll be okay... The phone stopped ringing and Zed's answering machine picked up. Her thumb trembled terribly sending shivers through her phone as she attempted to redial. Despite her efforts when she managed to loosen her thumb she lost control of her muscles, they all became limp and her phone dropped onto the floor.
