0.5 Ichi-kun.

Authors' note: Sorry for the late continue... I've had a whole lot to do but now, here comes another chapter ^^ I hope it isn't too confusing ^^''

Suya looked shocked at Aiba who was staring back at her.
- What was that? he whispered. Suya sighed.
- That was nothing that was supposed to happen and nothing you were supposed to see... Come. It seems like I have to explain some things for you. You don't seem to go away anyway. Suya passed Hidari and Jin, who both now was asleep, and out on a balcony. She closed the door quickly behind them and then told Aiba to sit down. Suya sighed depply and didn't look too happy.
- You know... Kame and I are close. Actually very close in... A way...
- As a couple? Because that is the picture I got in my head, Aiba explained.
- No, not as a couple... You know... It's very hard to explain for someone like you... Usual people like you will have hard to understand... No, no you've not been in our gang long enough, Suya suddenly said and turned around. She had her left hand over her mouth and looked out on the view.
- I think you can tell him, Suya-chan. Ohno came out on the balcony too. Suya only turned her head a bit and glanced at Ohno.
- Why would I? she asked coldly, but Ohno didn't seem to take notice.
- You even considered it yourself. That means you must trust him a bit. If you personally don't think he'll tell, I don't think he'll tell. Or would you Aiba-kun?
- No, I can promise you I won't tell. It's only bastards that tell secrets, at least in my eyes, Aiba answered. Suya still looked at Ohno for a while and then looked out again. She remained quiet. Ohno walked up to her and stood on her right side. He laid a hand on her shoulder but didn't say anything.
- When Kame got problems he comes to me. It doesn't matter if it's a fight, if he needs help with money or schoolwork or if he's depressed. He comes to me, 'cuz that's what we've decided.
- Since everyone else knows' I'm also gonna tell you about Ichi, Ohno said and walked away from Suya. Ichi was Suyas' best friend and a friend to us all. After the first part of our first year in high school, Ichi got into a fight. After that fight, Suya and Kame went to those guys' that had beaten Ichi and took them down so to say... Suya injured her face and got some scars but both survived it, but Ichi took the responsibility for it. He felt really bad about it, especially since he had a big crush on Suya for a long time. Later on, Suya got together with a guy... Ohno got interrupted by Suya.
- Who was a bastard. He's the reason why Ichi isn't with us anymore, she said in a low tone.
- W-wait... Is he, dead? Aiba stuttered.
- He tried to warn me about this guy, Suya continued. But I didn't listen to him and it broke him apart. That bastard guy was cheating on me all the time and Ichi couldn't stand it. The fourth April, Ichi beated mr. cheating bastard so much he ended up in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. An hour after, Ichi called me and said good-bye. Suya got quiet and Aiba was stunned. He didn't get it.
- W-what did he do? Aiba asked quietly.
- He jumped from a bridge, Ohno answered.
- He wanted to be able to fly, he always told me that. Not like a bird, but like a butterfly, Suya said in a whispering tone, laughing a little bit shyly. Aiba thought she looked expressionless but saw that she had tears in her eyes when she turned around.
- The friends of this cheating bastard are the ones' that've beaten up Nao, the bass player in Kagrra. We have recently gotten to know it and after this it have been very tensed up on the streets uptown. We call these guys "the Bugs", Suya said. Suddenly it knocked on the window. The three of them looked up and on the other side of the window, Kame was standing only clad in his boxers. He looked very irritated but made Suya smile a sloping, mysterious smile to him and she walked inside.

- How can she be so... so... Aiba couldn't find the word.
- I know she may seem cold, but if there's something she cares about it's her friends. That's why she doesn't act very friendly to you yet, she doesn't trust you and don't see you as a friend really. To her, a friend is someone she would die for, so she choose them carefully, Ohno explained.
- But her family then? Doesn't she care for them?
- Aiba-kun, you must understand this... Suya isn't rich at all, and her family is her uncle and eight brothers who live miles away from here. She lives alone in an apartment that has one room and a bathroom with no running water, which she has to go and get in buckets... And she can't nearly afford that! That's why she does this, music, to get money and at the same time realizing her and Ichis' dream, being the lead guitarrist of a big rockband. She does this both for her own sake and for her friends.

- Are you awake? Hidari opened her eyes and looked at Jin who was still on top of her, looking just as sleepy and dozy as she felt.
- Mhm... she mumbled and started fixing with his hair as always. She saw some shadows to her right, not completley sure who it was. As sudden as they had appeared, they went out the door, two persons with long hair... "It must've been Yoshiki and Suya... But Yoshiki left with Heath before, when did he return?" Hidari thought to herself.
- When did school start? Jin asked.
- I don't know, Hidari said and looked at her watch, realizing it was saturday afternoon.
