The Dark Side of Night

[Meline Kana Noriuma]

Pyr-a burst through the door exactly at 3pm and ran straight into Mikeeshiro. "I told you to deliver the wood!! Not Shi-keth!"
"I did that on purpose!"
"Obviously!! But why! Is it everyones plan to try and hurt me right now?!" She practically pulled her hair out as she stormed upstairs to her room. She was tired of using the shadows to get everywhere. Before going to her own however she ran and jumped into Al's bed. "Thank god you're ok. I thought I had lost you and everyone was going to kill me for it! And don't worry about that book so long as you're safe screw it!" Pyr-a was being clingy. It soo meant she was ready to freak out at some point.

"It's okay, Pyr-a, you're my sister...right?" Jazz smiled and put an arm around her. "Thank you for helping me out...I'll be fine, and contrary to what you think, I don't blame you for it, okay?" Her amethyst eyes glittered, "So, on the lighter side...what did you get me for my birthday?"

Circe woke up with a jolt. She had fallen asleep in his bed, his scent lulling her into her first dreamless and peaceful sleep in an awful long time. She bit her lip as a fresh wave of tears came on. She just couldn't help it, she missed Mikeeshiro so much. She wished that she had never met her father that day so long ago, or that she had lived with her grandfather. If she hadn't, there wouldn't have been a tattoo or a curse or anything. She would have still been with Mikee and she could have been happy.

Her eyes were red from the tears and under her eyes seemed to be bruised from lack of sleep and endless tears. I'm good for nothing really these days, moping around all day until some sort of crisis. Grandfather was right, I'm only useful when something wrong is happening. She shuddered at the thought and drew her knees up to her chin. She wrapped her amrs around her legs and buried her face in her knees. I wish Mikee was here, and I wish he didn't hate me.

Mikeeshiro, wanting a shower after a hard days work and dealing with Shi-keth yelling at him for sending him to Pyr-a's classroom, walked upstairs to his room. He wasn't to dirty he just wanted to try and relax before Jazz's part. As he walked in he saw Circe curled into a ball around a pillow and sighed.
He sat down and placed one arm around her shoulders pulling her to him. "That won't do. Being depressed when Jazz is still alive and having a party in a few hours where we still have to make food for all the guests and set up the streamers or whatever. Naw that won't do at all." He rested his head lightly on hers.

Pyr-a took a deep breath to calm down. "Well for one I kept my promise. Shi-keth will be here tonight." They could hear the strain in her voice as she said it but the happiness it also brought. The two really were quite a pair. "And I promise not to fight or argue with him till after your party. At least I hope I can keep that. And...The third one you have to wait for."She smirked.

Circe jumped, "M-Mikee...! I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be i-intruding. I-I'll go and leave you alone. I'm sorry."

"I knew he was going to come. If there is any chance for him to see you, he'd take it. I just know it." Jazz smiled. "You guys are just so perfect for each other you just fight a lot. Diamonds are beautiful and they look the best paired together, but they always start out rough."

[Meline Kana Noriuma]

"Yeah well we better be blue cause otherwise I don't like diamonds." She grumbled and scooted in closer to them. "And I can't explain what happened between us yet cause I don't really know. I have to talk to him first." She sighed and closed her eyes. "I'm also planning on quiting teaching."

Mikee stood up and wrapped Circe in a hug. He was still quite upset but compared to seeing her like this it was like it was nothing. "Come now. Calm down. You're not going anywhere till you settle down."

[Caer Ibormeith]

"Fine, you guys can be blue diamonds, whatever. And please don't quit, I haven't even had your class yet, and I was looking forward to it!"

That was Circe's breaking point. She had held up pretty well the other few times she had seen him after they had broken up. She hadn't talked or touched him, but now she wrapped her arms around him and felt like one piece again, instead of a fragment. She held him tight and ignored the burning tears that still made their way down her cheeks.

"Should I just invite you into my shower since it seems like you're all ready starting to bath me." He gave her a small smile and tilted her head up enough so he could kiss her forehead. He had missed her so much and that was what had hurt him the most.

"Oh...And you have to write a fantasy story about this piece of wood," She pulled the smallest piece that had been left out of her pocket and set it in Jazz's hand. "It's due tomorrow. Five page minimum and ten pages max. And that's the only homework anyone gave out the entire first day." Pyr-a smiled.

[Caer Ibormeith]

"I think I just changed my mind." Jazz joked. "Nah, I'll do it...even though it's my birthday...and I don't have class until the day after tomorrow...block days adn all that, you know."

Circe blushed slightly, "Sorry," she pulled back slightly, mainly so she could look at him, but she felt as if she should leave him alone. She felt like he was just doing this to make her stop crying and for no other reason.

[Meline Kana Noriuma]

He saw the look in her eyes. "I didn't leave because of you. I left because liek Pyr-a is your sister Shi-keth is like my brother and with what happened and all and then with Pyr-a and Jazz I didn't want him to hurt himself by being careless. I still care for you Circe. I always will. I promised you that and I don't plan on taking that away from you. Ever."

Pyr-a smirked again. "Nope..it's a rule at that school, first three days are all classes and shortened periods..."

[Caer Ibormeith]

Circe's heart could have stopped and she wouldn't have noticed. "Wha-what are you trying to say?"

"Aw, you suck...it's my birthday, jeez! And what's more, I almost died, and no on'es telling me how I didn't! C'mon, please Pyr-a?!"
