They walked a little farther together, but, as fate would have it, Leon had to go a different direction to get home. So, Rain carried on by herself. When she looked at her watch, also looking again at the ring.

.:. FLASHBACK.:. (OMG first flashback eh? Wow...)

"Whats wrong Leon?" He looked at her, his cheeks turning slightly red. He walked over to her, digging in one of his pockets, and pulled out the ring.

He handed it to her, and she looked at it, her expression difficult to read. "Do you like it? I was hoping that you would, since you like black and all..."He trailed off, scratching the back of his head. When she looked up at him she knew that it looked like she was trying not to cry.

"W-whats wrong? What did I do?" He was slightly frantic, her only answer was throwing her arms around him and hugging him. She could tell he was shocked. But, after coming out of it, he hugged her back. He kissed the top of her head. She looked up at him, slightly confused, as he started to turn red.

"Thank you Leon, and I love the ring." She surprised herself with what she did next. She kissed him on the cheek. Releasing him from the hug.

Then, while they stood there for a moment more, he took the ring back, took her hand, and slipped it on her ring finger. She blushed, as did he. But, she liked that he had chosen to put it on for her.

"Thank you again Leon." She said. Then they started walking again.

...xxx...xxx...xxx...xxx...xxx...xxx...xxx...xxx...xxx...xxx...xxx...xxx...xxx...xxx...xxx...xxx...xxx...xxx...

She blushed as she thought about how she'd kissed his cheek. She had never, for the life of her, kissed anyone...ever...anywhere...not the cheek, the lips, or anywhere. She looked at the watch, this time actually looking, and her face turned from blushing, to very pale in a mere matter of seconds.

It was almost 6 o'clock. If...IF...Mitsu and Kazuki got home before she did...What would happen? She started running. She rad faster and faster. She was surprised she could even run in the shoes she wore.

She figured it was her demon abilities, that were making her run so fast, because all she saw as she ran, was blurry figures everywhere. She made it, and saw their car coming down the road, of course, they wouldn't be able to see her if she got into the house...NOW. She ran inside, up the stairs, to her room, to her closet, and changed into the clothes she wore this morning. She heard them come in. She ran, silently but quickly, and put Mitsu's shoes, the wedge heels, back where she found them, and went back to her room.

She lay down on her bed, and pretended she was asleep. She waited, for their shouting, but she heard nothing. Curious though she was, she stayed put. Then, she heard something then...nothing. She quietly crept downstairs. But, she saw no one. She froze. She couldn't even smell them, she didn't really know what they smelled like, but, if they had been there, she would have smelt something.

She frowned. Where were they? She didn't wanna know, but...It wasn't good not knowing. She hoped they wouldn't come at all. She sighed...She didn't know why she was even worrying. She didn't care where they were. If they weren't here, she didn't care.

But...She had felt something...she knew she had. But what was it? She didn't know if she wanted to know...She started back up the stairs, but stopped. Something in the pit of her stomach said something was wrong...Very very wrong. She turned around. And watched.

Just watched. Innocent enough by itself, unless you see something someone doesn't want you to. She sat there, felt that same something, and then, there was Kazuki and Mitsu...standing over two other people. Rain blinked. Then, without thinking she yelled.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" Mitsu and Kazuki turned to her. Her expression was..to say the least...shocked, frightened, and...yea..thats about it. Mitsu turned to look at Kazuki, who looked at her as well. Then, they both looked at Rain. For once, when they both looked at her, Rain didn't get the feeling they were going to get mad for absolutely no reason.

But...With these to, you never know. (SHIFTY FUCKING EYES) Rain watched them, and they watched her. Then...for the first time ever. They..walked away. They just left her sitting there, confused, and completely ignored her. Inside, she felt sort of...well...giddy about it. They were actually ignoring her. Pretending she wasn't there, and to them, what wasn't there, wasn't there...and..she had a thought.

'If...If I wasn't there, like they are pretending I am not, then...You can't hit what isn't there...Right?'

She went upstairs to her room, and went to bed.

'Good things can never last can they?!'

Rain had been back to going to school, after one day, hanging with Leon again, he literally dragged her, to the doctor. There, they examined her ear, put some weird stuff on it, stitched it, gave her a container of said weird stuff, and sent her home saying that she needed to put that stuff on her ear twice a day.

So, she had been going to school for the past...two weeks? She thought it was about that. But...as she well knew, but hated to admit right now, good things never lasted. It had been about two weeks since they had started to ignore her.

Everyone saw a change in her mood. She was more...well...Happy. And, that in a way, scared some people. She had been in a good mood the whole two weeks. And...She had even gone somewhere with Leon. The movies, where she did not let him pay for anything. It was her evil plan to pay him back. And, she had allowed him to pick the movie.

Of course, being the guy he is, he picked the horror movie. So, they had gone in and taken their seats. She had seen numerous horror movies, they didn't bother her at all. This particular movie though had...to say the least...Scared the hell out of her.

FLASHYBACKY!(Shifty eyes)

Leon was sitting by her, they were both staring at the screen, and...something, she didn't remember what happened, but that was cause she screamed, along with every other girl in the theater, and looked away, burying her head in Leon's shoulder.

He stroked her hair, wrapped an arm around her, and smiled. He had pulled her chin up to look at him, thats how she'd known he was smiling. And then, he surprised her, by placing his lips on her own. She knew she was blushing, because her cheeks felt hot.

She had let him kiss her. His soft lips on hers felt like heaven. She had closed her eyes, as he had. And, for the first time she could remember, she had felt content. But...every other girl in the theater had to ruin it, by screaming, and causing Leon to break the kiss, and having him wrap his arm around her shoulders again, pulling her cat eared head to rest on his shoulder.

She remembered purring through the rest of the movie. Not even paying attention to it. Only thinking about how wonderful Leon's lips had felt against her own.

END FLASHYBACKY (Shifty fucking eyes)

Well, Mitsu and Kazuki had been ignoring her, thats why she'd been able to go to the movie. But...good things never lasted. She had woken up this morning, gotten ready for school, which, since Leon had told their friends that they were going to start going out, without telling her, she quite enjoyed.

But, as she got downstairs, she didn't see it coming, and got slapped across the face. Surprised she looked up to see it Kazuki. He looked furious, but she hadn't done anything.

He had started yelling at her, but she hadn't payed attention, she was too busy dodging his attempts to hit her. And, that slap, which bruised afterwards, was the only hit he had gotten that morning, as she dodged his attacks, and got out the door. Running as fast as her cat demon side would take her.

And, as usual, Leon was waiting for her. He had been checking his watch, she was late, and then heard footsteps...Really fast ones, and then saw her try to stop, and of course, she couldn't. So, he caught her before she ran into something.

He looked at her and had been about to ask why she was late, but when he saw the mark on her cheek, he hadn't the need to. His face, though only for a second, showed his furious anger, but then, he hid it from her. The only place eh could not get it out of, were his eyes. They walked together, talking like usual, the only difference, was he was thinking of how to pay them back. So, the day went on, until lunch. Ritsuka had asked what happened, as did everyone else, she replied the same every time.

"No offense, but its not your business."

Ritsuka could see that Leon was furious about something, he knew Soubi didn't want him around the two, but he didn't care if Soubi didn't. But, with how furious Leon looked, he knew Leon knew exactly what happened, or at least why there was a bruise. He didn't ask, of course.

But, he knew how Leon felt. When Soubi had been hurt, because he went to Battle by himself, Ritsuka had felt furious that he hadn't told him. Then, when he found out that it had been Youji that inflicted the wound. He had felt furious toward the Zero, but, he had eventually forgiven him. Anyway...The point...Ritsuka knew how Leon would feel. Leon loved Rain, Rain love Leon. And, to see the one you love hurt...and if you know who or what has done it, you become furious, angered.

All completely natural. Feeling anger, sometimes even hatred, --depending on how serious the wound or what not-- are natural. If someone didn't feel those things, along with worry for the one harmed, then truly, they did not care about the one injured in the first place.

Ritsuka watched Leon. He was staring at nothing really. Well, he was staring at Rain through the corner of his eye, though, Ritsuka could see, that he didn't really see Rain...He only saw the bruise on her cheek, which, more then likely only fueled his anger.

LUNCH TIME!! BWA HAHAHA!

...xxx...xxx...xxx...xxx...xxx...xxx...xxx...xxx...xxx...xxx...xxx...xxx...xxx...xxx...xxx...xxx...xxx...xxx...

Rain and Leon made their usual trip to the store to get lunch. The only difference was how tense Rain noticed Leon to be. Then, out of nowhere, he punched the stone wall they were walking by. Now there was a small whole, Leon stared at it frustrated, and then he looked at his hand, which his knuckles were now cut and bleeding.

He sighed and looked at Rain, who looked horror struck. That was the first time she had ever seen him that angry. Leon reached out and hugged her, as she seemed slightly afraid of him at the moment, and he held her there, though she was attempting to push him away at the moment.

He lifted her chin, and again, he kissed her. Her eyes widened, but then slowly closed in response. Her cheeks were a little red...well...one of them, the other was a bruise. But...It counts. He broke the kiss, much to Rain's discontent, and smiled at her, his fury seemingly gone.

They walked into the store, and Leon payed...Again. Rain was slightly frustrated today. Leon could guess why. She had told him about the whole

"They are ignoring me!!"

Thing. He had been surprised when, after telling him about it, she had started dancing around. He had looked at her, with wide eyes. (Like thus o.o) So, it didn't surprise him that she would be frustrated that they weren't ignoring her. Though, under different circumstances he guessed, that she would have been upset they were ignoring her. But, that would be both under different circumstances and if the two didn't beat her when they were mad.

Oh well, there was nothing either of them could really do. Unless, she came and...He stopped walking all together.

'Would she want to? I wonder...' He was thinking maybe, just maybe, what if Rain wanted to live at his apartment for awhile. Rain started talking, but he couldn't hear her. He was lost in his thoughts.

Well, lost until a sharp tug on one of his ears, causing him to yelp, brought him out of his reverie.

"Hello? Are you listening...What are you thinking about?" Rain sounded rather flustered. But, she had obviously noticed his somewhat spaced out look. The fact he had stopped in the middle of the sidewalk didn't help. And, the fact he had been not paying any attention to anything, made her curious as to what was so important to him.

She was rather surprised when his only response to her questioning was him walking towards school. She followed, but wasn't very happy about it. She was surprised when he turned and was walking backwards.

"Rain, I will talk to you about it after school, if you wouldn't mind coming with me to my apartment for a little while that is." He wanted to show her what it looked like before he asked, see if she would like it. She nodded and he smiled, turning back around to walk forward.

He slowed his pace, allowing her to catch up, and then wrapped his arm around her waist. They walked back to the school, and entered their classroom, with 2 minutes to spare.
