My heart throbbed as I made my way home, my mind was clouded with thoughts of Angelina." She's going to kill me at this rate.." I mumbled to myself as I clutched my chest with a small smile.

   I was completely oblivious of a mysterious person behind me. It was only when I turned down the street that I noticed the person who whore a black coat with it's hood up, unabling me to see who it was.

   My first thought was that it was a Snake's Eyes member, so I quickened my pace. I walked down a alley way, ducking for cover behind a dumpster, and waited for the person to follow. 

   Once the person walked pass me, I tackled them, pinning their arms behind them with their head on the cement," Who are you, and why are you following me?" I questioned in a angered tone.

   The person pushed me off themselves, standing up in front of me as I sat on the ground. They pulled off their hood to reveal themselves," It's me." Kira said, her face emotionless as she spoke. 

   I sat for a moment in shock, but then stood back up," What the hell are you doing following me?" I questioned, stepping closer to her.

   " I needed to talk to you." She responded, putting her left hand on her hip," In private." 

   I scoffed, a bit annoyed," Fine. What is it?" I asked, folding my arm on my chest as I laid my back against the damp brick wall.

   " It's about Angelina..." She stated, as my body tense up at her name,"...Dimitri said, you were getting close to her, is that true?"

   I looked away for a moment," No. We're just working on our history project, end of story." I replied coldly.

   She now crossed her arms on her chest," Don't lie to me." She threatened, her voice becoming more stern then before.

   " I'm not! I don't care for her, she's just my partner for the project." I stated, raising my voice to scare her.

   " Oh really?" Kira said, her arm going back to her hip, stepping closer to me as an evil smirk formed on her face," so if I had a gun to her head, you wouldn't save her, right?"

   I could tell she was testing me, so I stayed silent," Why won't you man up to your feelings?" She questioned.

   " I have no feeling for her." I replied, gazing off to the distance," So what if I'd save her? All that means is that-"

   " Is that you care for her, or others." Kira cut me off, her face expressionless" it's hard to admit your feelings - trust me, I know..."

   I gave her a confused look," I cared for Mark, he was my childhood after all..." She continued, a sad smile on her face now,"...it's all my fault he's dead, he only joined because of me..."

   A single tear slid down her cheek," H-He thought that we should stick together...so he joined and now...." Her knees began to shake till she fell to the floor," a-and now he's dead! B-Because of me!"

   Kira began to cry uncontrollably, sobbing Mark's name," I-It's all my fault! And no one cares!" She sobbed. I felt a pit grow in my chest as I watched her, she seemed like a normal girl for a moment, crying over someone she cared about.

   I was temped to leave her there to cry, but I heard a small voice in the back of my head say," There's always someone out there who cares for you.."

   Those angelic words were the same one's Angelina told me in the classroom, I could clearly picture her saying it. I sighed ' She's right...' I thought as I bent down to Kira's level, her head shot up as she saw me get closer to me," Look." I stated, my voice calm as my hand held onto her shoulder," it's not your fault he's gone, and I bet he wouldn't want you to cry over him like this. He'd want you to succeed, to make him proud."

   Kira's face showed shock as she stared at me," W-Why are you so nice now...?" She questioned, whipping her tears away as she stared at me," A-Angelina must be rubbing off on you.."

   I chuckled," Yeah...I guess so..." I replied, standing back up," maybe it's a good thing?"

   I could see the corners of Kira's lips lift up to form a small smile," Yeah, I think so..." She said, pushing herself off the ground," well, goodbye then..."

   She lifted her hood back onto her head before leaving, waving at me as she turned the corner before vanishing from my sight.

   " Angelina is really rubbing off on me..." I said to myself before heading back in the direction on my apartment with a smile on my face.

   But as the whole event accrued with me, I hadn't noticed the stranger who stood on top on the building, watching and listening to Kira and I's conversation," Heh, she's rubbing off on ya?" The man said as he began to walk away from the edge of the roof," well then, I guess I've found The Devil's weakness..."
