[The Black Rose]

"Timbaku said I can't long stay here." Mila said to Flyte, who pulled away and tried to catch her breath.
"You can stay here for as long as you like." Flyte said finally, then quieted to listen to Diata and Masi's father.
"Tell Masafumi that the world stopped rotating...long before I met him." She spat at Diata, practically yelling it. She didn't care if Masi heard; she almost wanted him to. Tony pulled her to her feet and herded her back into the room. Mila trotted after them. Timbaku stepped up to Diata and Masi's father.
"I will pay for his medical bills." He said calmly.

[Sakura Sake]

Masafumi managed to sneak back out of his room, unnoticed by Diata or his father. He'd walk home if he could make it, but he heard what Flyte said before she was ushured into her room. It broke him. He didn't mean to hurt anyone. He thought he was doing what was right. Quietly, he peeked into her room. "Roses and wine," was all he said before he left. Diata didn't bother fallowing, and held Masi's father back.

[The Black Rose]

"What was that about?" Tony asked, watching Masi leave. Flyte had her blank expression again as she watched Mila. The girl was looking around the room, amazed. She had never been in a hospital before.
"I love Masi." She said quietly, trying to ignore the lump in her throat.
"What?" He was confused, so he waited for Flyte to explain. She was quiet for several minutes before replying.
"I thought he was different from the others. I thought I had actually made a friend who cared about me. But he's just as afraid of me as everyone else is. I wasn't made to be loved; I don't have a happily ever after."
"He's not afraid of you! He loves you, Flyte, you guys belong together!"
"I made a mistake once and learned from it. It's not going to happen again." She said coldly.

[Sakura Sake]

Diata thought for a moment before whispering "roses and wine?" outloud. "What the fuck does that mean?" He looked back at Flyte, Mila, Tony, Timbaku, and then finally back to Flyte again. "You have that tattood don't you? Of the rose? You know he got one too... For you. He wouldn't get something like that if he didn't care."

[The Black Rose]

"Maybe he just wants to fuck up my life like Pierre does." At this Tony stood up so quickly his chair fell back.
"Don't ever compare anyone to Pierre! No one is as low as that bastard, especially not Masi! He saved you from him, you should have seen how worried he was while you were gone!" He clenched his jaw and glared angrily at Flyte, waiting for her reply. What she said got him completely offguard.
"At least Pierre knows how to treat scum like me!" Even Flyte seemed surprised by her answer.
"Is that what Pierre said?" Tony asked, his voice shaking with anger. "He shoved so much shit into your head that you don't even recognize someone's love for you?" Without waiting for a reply he turned and walked out.

[Sakura Sake]

Diata sighed as he started to walk out too. "You'd better think about what you want, Flyte," he said, then closed the door to give the old friends some privacy.

OOC: seriously crappy.

[The Black Rose]

"I want to feel like I have a place and reason in this world." Flyte whispered, but Diata obviously didn't hear it.

--------

It wasn't that hard to find Masafumi. Tony stepped up besides him.
"You're going to kill yourself if you try to walk home with that wound." He sighed. "I'll give you a ride if you want. I have something to show you."

[Sakura Sake]

Masafumi stopped and turned to Tony. "You have the gull to talk to me now?" he said, his voice full of anger, his body shaking. "I don't care what you have to say. You and the rest of your family aren't too fond of me and I've accepted that. I give up, okay?" He started walking again. Though his leg had been shot, he could walk decently, but it did hurt... like hell.

[The Black Rose]

"I'm not saying I'm fond of you, but I don't dislike you either. I'm doing this for Flyte. Before you say anything, listen." Tony wasn't going to let his sister go back to the way she was before. Worse even, seeing as she was keeping her blank expression permanent now. "That girl doesn't know right from wrong. She listens to what people say and if she thinks she has to, she obeys. If you drill something into her enough, she'll believe it with every ounce of herself. I've never seen anyone make her believe something different, but you did. Do you love Flyte, or not?"

[Sakura Sake]

Masafumi eyed him. "I let her get hurt," he said. "That is not love. I don't think I'd be able to look at her and say that I loved her. It hurt to let her go, but I did it for her. It's not right. I'd be keeping her locked up. She can go be like Mika and go with some guy in tall grass." He sighed alittle. Tall grass...

[The Black Rose]

"She can't go a damn week without hurting herself some way or another. She's clumsy, and careless. You freed her. From a lot of things." Tony moved in front of Masi. "But you didn't answer my question. Do you love her or not? Because she sure as Hell loves you, Pierre's words are just stuck in her head. And like I said before, you're the only one I know of who can take them away. Unless you want her living the rest of her life thinking she's a pointless black rose in a feild of white lilies. Or do you?"

[Sakura Sake]

Masafumi stopped once Tony wasn in front of him. "It's not that I don't love her... Would you rather have me going with her in some field?" he began. "Where the grass is taller then both of us? She doesn't know what guys think, and she doesn't need to for a long time. I'm no better then anyone else, but I will tell you that I can be worse..." He silenced himself, knowing Tony wouldn't like what he said.

[The Black Rose]

"She doesn't know what anyone thinks." Tony narrowed his eyes. "And I don't want to know what you think. A male will be a male. You won't be able to do anything to her anyway." He looked away and stared at a tree for a moment. "She's pregnant."

((I have to do this to spite my friend, because she's been bugging me to have Flyte raped -__- don't ask ))

[Sakura Sake]

Masafumi's eyes grew wide. Then he turned around and started to walk off, back twords the hospital. Why had this happened? It better not have been Pierre's... he'd go to that old warehouse and burn it again... and shoot everything he could. He was shaking again... it wasn't right.

[The Black Rose]

Antoine followed him quickly.
"I wouldn't...um..." He sighed. Why had he told him? He had been planning not to. "She won't talk about anything that happened...I think your father's still there." He felt something fall onto his shoulder, then it leaped off onto Masi's shoulders. Kimana. The monkey switched to his other shoulder, then back again, as if pacing. Finally she crouched down and wrapped her tail around Masafumi's neck, chattering softly.

[Sakura Sake]

Masafumi turned around one last time. "I will kill that man if I have to!" he shouted. "He's supposed to be dead anyway! That's what my mother told us so we'd forget him! BUT NO! And Flyte will tell me! I don't know what I'll do, but I'll talk it out of her! I want to know what happened to her! I'm going to find the rest of his cronies and I'm going to slaughter them!"

[The Black Rose]

Tony stopped and eyed Masafumi. Kimana put her hands over her ears and cowered away from him as best as she could, seeing that she was on his shoulder.
"Slaughter away, then." He muttered, glancing at the monkey. "Ana, you know Flyte's room, right?" The mammal nodded. "Go look in her closet and get the red box. Red. Got it?" She nodded again and disappeared up a tree.

[Sakura Sake]

Masafumi turned back around and started walking again. His limp was starting to show, but he ignored it and the pain. He was soon back at the hospital and went directly to Flyte's room. He sat in the chair that Diata was before he had left. "Tell me what happened, okay?" he said.

[The Black Rose]

Flyte was sitting up in the bed, and Mila was sitting crosslegged across from her. She had been trying to teach the younger girl Patty Cake before Masi came in. They both quieted immediately when he did, Mila turned to look at him and Flyte looked away. Tony stopped in the doorway.
"Mila, come with me and I'll get you something to eat." The girl reluctantly slid off the bed, handed something to Flyte, and trotted after Tony down the hall. Flyte gripped the folded paper tightly, still looking away.

[Sakura Sake]

Masafumi looked down. "I know you aren't happy with me, Flyte," he said. "But I need to know what happened... I want to make things right. I only even said those things to make it work out for you. Look how that ended up... I need to make everything right... Just tell me..."

OOC; My posts are getting crappy.

[The Black Rose]

((Sorry? ; ))

"Tony told you." Flyte stated, not asked, quietly, forcing herself not to look at him.
I can't love him any more, I don't have to be worried. But she wanted to make sure he was okay. It was killing her, but her pride won out and kept her motions still. "Why don't you go back to Japan, where you can pick any girl you want."

[Sakura Sake]

Masafumi got off the chair and sat on the bed, over her legs. "I don't want to go to Japan," he said. "My 'father' will try to force me, though... I don't want any girl there. I couldn't even keep the girl I wanted safe. I had to break up with her to think everything would be fine, but I was wrong. I hurt her anyway and in the biggest way possible..."

[The Black Rose]

"Sometimes life doesn't work out the way you want it to be." Flyte said, giving up and looking at him with hollow eyes. "You fight, and fight, but time and fate is bigger than anything you ever dreamed of." She stared at her hands silently for a few moments, trying her best to keep her blank face. Trying her best not to break down and throw herself at Masi and beg him to forgive her, to understand.
I don't love him, I don't love him, I don't love him... She was repeating in her mind, trying to get the feelings to go away. Does he love me? The thought broke into the chain and messed up her concentration. She frowned and her sight blurred. She quickly blinked the tears away and put the emotionless mask back on.

[Sakura Sake]

Masafumi looked down. "I don't believe in fate," he said. "And time is completely different. If I were to go to Osaka or wherever the hell that dickhead lives, I probably wouldn't come back, Flyte... so you tell me now; do you want me gone, or will it matter? If you want me gone, I'll leave. If it doesn't matter so much, I'll still leave, but I'll try to come back. If you want me to stay... I'll find someway to stay put..." He sighed, almost to himself. His father was now in the room since he had managed to get past Diata.

[The Black Rose]

Flyte stared at her hands, trying to decide if she should listen to her mind, or to her heart. Should she even answer, and with his father there. What if he thought that meant something other than what she wanted? She didn't even know what she wanted. She didn't want to make the same mistake twice; but was the mistake that she was making? Slowly she pulled her legs out from under him and slid off the bed. She got about five steps before her legs collapsed under her. Without a word she forced herself up again and managed to get to the window. She pulled open the window and looked out with a blank expression. Where were her birds? She could've used the crow at the moment, something familiar. But she hadn't seen the crow since she ran off. Had he abandoned her? He had the right to, he wasn't rightfully hers.

[Sakura Sake]

Masafumi's father was getting annoyed. "Come, Masafumi," he said. Amazingly, Masafumi was taller then this man. Not by much, but still taller. Slowly, Masafumi slid from the bed.
"I'll... call you I guess," he whispered. "And I'm not some dog. I have no reason to stay, that's the only reason why I'm bothering with the likes of you." He was irritated to say the least. He didn't want to be there, or in Japan. He wanted to be in a ditch somewhere far from here.

[The Black Rose]

Flyte flinched slightly at his last words, then her own anger rose.
"Do you even know what it's like to live knowing you're a mistake? To be awake in the middle of the night, listening to your heart beat, and it takes all your will power not to make it stop?" She spat the questions coldly. In the back of her mind her conscious was telling her to stop, especially with his father there. But she couldn't. So many years of rage that she had just pushed away. "Atleast you can go to people who love you! Have you ever seen starving people in the streets, who you wanted to help but got pulled away!? Or boys digging through trash, a man die trying to keep his daughter warm!" She was shaking now, and could hardly catch her breath. But she wanted to scream. She had to. She began yelling at Masi in French, talking so fast that she didn't even know what she was saying.

[Sakura Sake]

Masafumi looked over his shoulder. "Let's not talk about my past, okay?" he said as he walked out the door. His father eyed him for a few moments before fallowing out. Masafumi felt as if he was a prisoner in his own world. It was terrible. He hated it. He couldn't even make a path in his mind. Besides that, he was dizzy, and sick. He hated being shot. This was the second time with multiple wounds.

[The Black Rose]

Flyte dropped to her knees with her arms resting on the windowsill, and buried her face in them. She felt like crying, she wanted to cry, but she didn't.
"You're a monster. You destroy things."
"No." She whispered, closing her eyes.
"Everything you love or care about ends up getting hurt or killed." End it. Just anything to end it. But her body wouldn't let her move. And so she just sat like that, motionless, until something tapped her arm. She looked up to see Kimana holding out a red box. she took it gently, then opened it and pulled the clay figure out. It was a horse with wings, reaching it's muzzle up to the moon. She had been working on it for Masi, mostly out of boredom and free time. Slowly she put it back in the box, then buried her face in her arm once again, and this time she started sobbing her heart out.

[Sakura Sake]

After a few moments, Masafumi's father returned. Masafumi's jacket had been left there. He just walked in, took the dark leather, and left again. He had no reason to stay. Masafumi was broken, why would he want to be there now?
