Nana

I heard a lot of ruckus going on in the past hour or so. I hid under the bed, waiting for someone; anyone to come and rescue me. 

The thunder outside scared me. I noticed my skin grow goosebumps and my body slightly shook. I wanted company; some sort of company that wasn't Ghost!

I want Zane.

I gasped in realization. I should really apologize to him for what Ghost did. I didn't that she would go as far to do...

That.

With him. 

...

Anyways...

"You should really have tempted him more. Maybe he would have been down to have fun with me- I mean...us."

I quickly looked back and forth, worried and confused that someone else was here. 

"I'm talking in your head, stupid. I thought you were smarter than this."

"Oh no, it's you." I groaned. I rolled my eyes and rested my cheek on my left hand. 

"Yeah, it's me~. Now, aren't you gonna talk to Zane~? I would love to see him."

"Hah! Yeah, no thanks. Not when you're in my body." I responded sassily. 

I think I may have set her off.

"Well, I can always show him a good time. All I need is some wifi, a laptop, time, and a willing body donation! It'll be easy." She said cockily. 

"Eugh~. You're making me physically uncomfortable." I said, grasping my head with my hands as if I was panicking. 

Does anyone else do that? I always do whenever Gumii says something cringy. xD

"I don't care. I'm just letting you know that I am capable of stealing yo' man. Just. Like. That." She said. 

"Can you get out of my head?! You're really annoying me with your constant boasting about getting with my boyfriend." I replied with a harsh tone. 

It got her to shut up though. 

After a second or two, I felt an other-worldly type experience.

Hmm... 

Odd. 

It felt like someone knocked the wind out of me, but it didn't hurt. 

That ghostly presence of her being around and in my body had just...left. I saw a  faint fossil-blue colored shadow in the air. It approached me, giving me the heebie-jeebies. 

Suddenly, it disappeared. 

Poof-ed! 

Gone! 

I'm just glad they are FINALLY gone. 

Sheesh!

...

Third Person

"What was all that noise!?" Nana yelled, bursting into her, Zane's, and Garroth's room. 

Zane, Garroth, and Ro stood startled in the room.

"Umm...What's going on here? Why does Ro~Sama look like that? Her hair is so messy and your clothes are stained.." She murmured.

Kawaii~Chan noticed that Garroth became a little more concerned over her. Zane did look worried as well. 

"I-Is that-?"

"No, no! I-It's nothing! Really, it is." She said quickly, as if trying to hide something. 

"No! This issue should be addressed! You are coming with me and we're gonna get you into something new." Kawaii~Chan boomed in protest. 

Kawaii~Chan then realized now that she sounded like a mother, so she toned down a bit. 

"Heheh. Sorry about sounding like a mom! But we should get you out of those bloody-looking clothes.." Nana murmured. Ro nodded, smiling as a thank you for my gratitude. 

She took her out of the room and into the extra guest bedroom nobody really used.

"Hey Garroth, I wanted to talk to you about a certain someone..." Zane began as they exited the bedroom.

...

"So..."

"The white and bland T-Shirt or the super-kawaii and awesome, super cute, unicorn shirt!?" Nana squealed excitedly. 

"T-The white shirt please." Ro responded. 

Kawaii~Chan pouted with a hint of saltiness at her response. "I don't know why she would choose something so bland! So boring! Oh well." She thought.

"H-Hey, can I borrow a pair of shorts or something? These are really covered in soot and I'd like to change out of this." She explained. 

"Of course! I think I have a cute pair of shorts in here you can have." 

"T-Thanks." She said.

"Where did you get these?" Ro asked, looking at me curiously.

"I went out a couple days ago. I had a hunch something would happen to you, so I was prepared."

She nodded, not even questioning me.

Her ears perked up when she noticed a scar on her arm, as well as a small crack on the edge of her circle-rimmed glasses.

Nana had picked up a first-aid kit on the way. Just in case some wounds needed to be covered up.

As she cleaned up the wound, Ro hissed in pain. She felt a little bad about it, but tried to hurry up with the process.

Once the bandage was wrapped on, things were quiet after that.

"I haven't really gotten to hang out with someone in a while, let alone another girl. My..." She trailed off. 

"Who are you talking about Ro~Sama?" Nana asked. 

Ro's eyes widened in panic. She hasn't talked to anyone about their relationship, as she was afraid of what her boyfriend would do. 

She shook slightly in fear, even though there was no real threat. 

"I guess he'll be my...ex now. I guess."

She paused. Then continued.

"He wouldn't let me hang out with other people. He was super clingy and would force me just to stay with him for the day."

She rubbed a bruise on the side of her arm.

Ro seemed to have zoned out, staring at the dark brown patch in her skin. 

"That guy was a full on manipulator. And I can't believe I took him back for that stupid dumb-ass reason he would use so I can feel sorry for him!"

Nana stayed quiet, waiting for her to continue.

"Even from the start, something was off with him. That look in his eyes always came off as startling; creepy even. But I was young, dumb, and naive, and desperate for love. I didn't think anything of it. My family and friends pointed it out, and I ignored them. How my eyes would change color whenever he was around..."

Her voice began to crack, sobs threatening to tear through her throat. 

"For two and a half years, I've had to deal with that excuse for a boyfriend when I could have spent my life with someone that could treat me better. I'm done. I'm sick of his crap." She muttered coldly.

"I just- Ugh!"

She gripped the black section of her dyed hair, stressed out of her mind. 

Nana rested a hand on her shoulder.

She turned to look at her with tears pricking her eyes. Ro looked down at the ground subsequently, avoiding eye contact.

Nana looked into her eyes...

And gave her..

A hug. 

Ro hugged back.

She hugged me tighter, but not to the point of suffocation. 

They pulled apart after a few minutes.

"Sorry..." She said, pulling away from the hug and twiddling her index fingers together. Ro looked down, almost ashamed by her actions. 

Although her voice had cleared up, her face beamed a dusty rose in shame.

"It's fine, really! I don't mind if it means that I helped out a friend." Nana beamed. 

Ro looked up at me and had a huge grin on her face. Her eyes pricked happy tears. 

She can only imagine how she feels like right now. So much time wasted on some guy you'd fall in and out of love with for so long. Finally breaking the chains of the vicious cycle. 

And she used her as a vent outlet. 

Someone she could seek and rely on for help and to make her not feel alone again. 

"You're not alone anymore. We're here for you." 

"Thank you. So much."

Being serious here, it's important to not pent up your feelings and keep it to yourself. 

I'm no expert on this topic, but spreading the word helps. 

Find someone you can trust and that really cares about you. Even when times seem tough, there is and will be someone out there to help.

Just remember that. <3

...

"Really?" Zane asked, shocked.

"Yeah. I wish that we could keep her here. At least until she can move out of the villa they're in."

"Why can't we?"

"She told me that she wanted to sort things out by herself. To fight her own battles, y'know?" Nana shrugged. 

"But she needs our help! I don't want her to be stuck with some ass-hat who would just want to use her." Garroth growled, butting into the conversation. 

"I think it's for the best." Zane insisted, arms crossed. 

Garroth pouted in response. 

Suddenly, a faint drilling noise was heard, filling the room with the sound. 

"She was also supper persistent on fixing the damages caused." Nana sighed. 

"I'm going to go help." Garroth said, getting up and heading out. 

Before they can say anything, he had swiftly headed down the stairs and out the room. 

"Well..." Kawaii~Chan hummed. "I have some exciting news."

Zane looked at her curiously, cocking his head to the side. 

"I do believe that Ghost is gone. And will now no longer annoy us for the time being." I said gleefully. 

"Yus!" He cheered, forming his hand into a fist and jerking his elbow downward. 

Like this : 

I can't do it because my nails are long, and they just dig into my hand. ;-;

I like my nails kinda long! Don't judge me! xD

Nana giggled, placing a hand over her mouth. 

"I miss being with you. I was kinda spooked being by myself when the intruder arrived." Nana kissed his cheek, smiling. 

Zane adjusted his mask and returned the kiss. This time, on the lips. 

Her eyes fluttered close as she kissed back passionately. 

Zane's hand was placed on her cheek as the other one pulled her closer, deepening the kiss. 

Once they pulled apart, they beamed at each other. 

"I'm so lucky to have you." He murmured, embracing her in a hug whilst burying his head in the crook of her neck. 

"I'm so lucky to have you too." She replied, returning his hug. 

They stayed like that for a while, just enjoying each other's embrace.

"Have you completed your mission?"

"No sir."

"Hmm? Explain."

"But I-"

"Now."

"She got away sir. She resisted my efforts."

"I'd be lying if I said I hadn't foreseen this."

"You pushed yourself too far and blinded yourself with your own desires."

"..."

"Mmm..."

"You will use what I taught you, young one. If power is what you desire, then..."

"But sir, what about you? Don't you want her though?"

"..."

"I made this. This can be used as our  ticket to get what we want! Our  desires can be fulfilled! Isn't that what you want!?"

It handed over a glowing orb to its master. 

They took it and placed it in a glass fancy glass case with golden vines climbing onto it. 

"Very well then."

"You can benefit from this as well. I don't see why not if you are going to accompany me in this task."

"Pleasure doing business with you, boss."

"Yeah, yeah. Now, shoo! Out with you!"

...

Hello!

Okay, okay, I know it's been a while, and I'm sorry for that!

I'm visiting family that I don't see that often. I basically only see them around 2-3 times a year. 

I wanted to spend time with them and enjoy their company. 

We had a water gun war-thingy on a hot summer day to quench our boredom. Patty and Gummi ambushed me and got me soaking wet, which wasn't fun for me at all. 

But I got them back! They ran like wussies when they ran out of water. But I did too, soo... xD

By the way, Patti is a talented artist! She was one of the people who had inspired my artistic spirit. (≧∇≦)/

Here's something she made :

Cool right? :3

I will try to make more chapters to compensate for my absence!

I will see you guys next time! Bai~! <3
