Seiya paused for a moment to look over at the silver haired girl that was groaning and sitting up with a hand to her head. "Seiya�?" Yaten cracked open her eyes, and took in a breath of air. Yaten's eyes widened as she ran to Seiya's trash can and puked. Seiya snickered.
"Ohayou gozaimasu, Lime Acid. I see you're having a lovely morning so far. And you've only been awake for a damn minute." Seiya laughed when Yaten glared at her harshly. Yaten spit one final time into the garbage. Seiya scowled. "Tie the damn bag up. I don't want my room smelling like shit." Yaten sighed and tied the bag.
"I need to call Okaasan�" Yaten muttered, followed by an exasperated sigh. Seiya lifted an eyebrow.
"Mama's girl, huh? Give it a rest. God, Lime Acid, don't be so paranoid. You'll be home by�" Seiya glanced at her clock. Ten o'clock wasn't bad. "You'll be home by three o'clock, all right? She doesn't know you were getting wasted. Just say you slept over some friend's house. Just don't say 'Seiya Kou'. Say you slept over Takasuka Kyoko's house." Seiya turned her concentration back to the powder she was neatly putting into neat rows with a razor. Yaten eyed Seiya.
"How do you know Kyo-chan�? " Yaten skimmed her eyes over the neat rows of whitish-tan powder. "And what's that�?" Seiya smirked.
"Kyoko paid me fifty dollars to guide her through her first crack experience. And as for that," Seiya motioned towards the powder. "It's cocaine." Yaten shifted her eyes from the cocaine to Seiya's eyes.
"Don't do it�" Seiya blinked, looked over Yaten's expression and burst out laughing. "I mean it� don't do it�"
"Too bad, Lime Acid. When I want it, I HAVE to have it." Seiya glanced at Yaten before picking up the straw on her desk. Yaten's eyes widened and she leaped onto Seiya, holding her wrists.
"STOP! PLEASE!" Yaten looked into Seiya's eyes mournfully, pleading to stop. Seiya frowned, and glared harshly at Yaten.
"Why do you even care?!" Yaten bit her lip, still keeping a vice-like grip on her wrists.
"B-Because I have� this feeling� for you� Something like love�" Seiya stopped squirming in Yaten's grip. She growled and narrowed her eyes.
"You fag." Yaten's eyes widened as Seiya jerked her wrists away from Yaten's hands and shoved Yaten off her lap. She looked down at the pale girl with a dark expression on her face. "You barely know me." Seiya picked her gun up from the table and pointed it at Yaten. "How the hell can you say you love me?" Yaten just stared, wide eyed. That was not the reaction she was expecting.
"You mean more than you put yourself out to be." Yaten stared at Seiya with a soft expression on her face. "As a matter of fact, I think that deep inside, this isn't the life you want." Seiya began lowering her gun.
"You barely know me�" Seiya didn't understand. She never felt this way before. She could shoot Yaten. Right there. She looked frail and innocent.
"Don't you have any piece of mind? Don't you feel the slightest bit guilty? For what you do to others� and for what you do to yourself?" Yaten felt like crying almost. She hated to see important people to her hurt themselves. Seiya dropped her gun, and numbly put her arms to her sides.
"I won't change�"
"You don't have to. I'm not saying that, but please s-"
"I won't stop anything, I won't change anything. Respect me, and I will respect you." Seiya smirked. "Precious, little dove�" Yaten stood up slowly. "If you want to earn my 'love' in return, you must die, and come back to life as a crow. A beautiful crow. Not something pure and innocent such as a dove." Yaten chewed on her lip, staring into Seiya's eyes. She hesitated slightly before nodding. Seiya smirked. "So be it." Seiya reached out and grabbed Yaten's arm, pulling her close. "You can be mine, and I will be yours if you simply kill yourself and wake up the next day as someone slightly different." Seiya wrapped an arm around Yaten's waist and ran her fingers through Yaten's silvery hair with her other hand.
"Hai�" Yaten didn't hesitate to wrap her arms around Seiya's waist and rested her cheek on Seiya's chest. She closed her eyes, taking in the sounds and smells around her. The intoxicating smell of cherry blossoms* and marijuana mixed together. The chirping birds outside almost made the world seem perfect. And Seiya's fingers running through her hair made her feel more relaxed. Yaten purred gently, snuggling against Seiya. "Aishiteru� My beautiful crow*�"
"Yeah� I love you too�" Seiya chewed her lip, worry clouding her eyes, and she twirled a lock of Yaten's hair around her index finger. Yaten let out a small sigh, her muscles starting to ache and tremble. As her stomach began to feel as if it were tied up in knots, she drifted off into a dreamless sleep.

1.) Why cherry blossoms? I have no clue. Just some random thing I like I suppose... ^^;
2.) I got an e-mail asking why I make the dove and crow referrals. Let me explain. They're symbolic.
---The dove represents holiness, innocents, gentleness, purity, angels, and a basic sign of life, love and happiness.
---The crow is usually a referral to Satanism, violence, corruption, death, the devil, and it's a basic sign of death, hate and misery.
