"I hate you!" Miwa cried in frustration.

But it just seemed to drip with truth.

Everyone in the room swung their head to stare at Michiko, who had backed across the room.

She stared at bit blankly, her mouth twisted in the beginnings of a smile. Was it a joke? Should she have laughed? The smile drooped at the look on Miwa's face.

Suddenly the looks on everyone's faces seemed very comical to Michiko. Almost flabbergasted in an extreme way. The Twins were faces were starting to look angry. Hunny looked like he was going to cry, and Kyoya was watching her with a very interested expression on his face.

"Probably just interested in what you're gonna do in response. To use as blackmail maybe." Said the tiny part of Michiko that she never seemed to be able to turn off, that she had nicknamed Brain Michiko. "Nice face by the way." It added, and Michiko noticed with a touch of pride that her empty facial expression hadn't changed.

A small bubble expanded in her throat, and she gave a choked laugh.

It was just too strange, her brain could not comprehend what was going on. She noticed from her hightened perspective that Miwa was starting to look a bit horrified herself.

She giggled again, and everyone started to look a bit alarmed. Even Kyouya's eyes widened a fraction of an inch.

You see, when you adore someone, the way that Michiko and Miwa adored each other, you never would do anything to hurt them. Never. That's why Michiko was so puzzeled by this outburst. It's why her brain. Would. Not. Compute.

"Love. Yeah, even I love her. I get it. I get it. You might want to hide you face. You're crying now." Brain Michiko sighed.

Michiko ducked her face, now aware of the tears on her face, and the lack of air in her lungs. Her curly hair collected around her face.

The connection that they both so prided themselves on made them suddenly aware of the fact that they should say something.

"Michiko-!" Miwa started to say just as Michiko said. "Okay."

Miwa looked at her, surprised. She rubbed her eyes very hard and hoped that she would be able to talk with out her voice cracking.

"Stop crying!" She thought sternly, and then lifted her head. "It's okay." She said clearly. "Let's go."

They made their way to the door.

They didn't say anything, but Hunny, ever the perceptive one, saw Miwa's hand reach out for Michiko's and encircle her wrist for the briefest second.

Michiko didn't doubt that she would spend a long time crying in the shower that evening.

Granted, this situation would NEVER, EVER happen. But I just did something to get me back in the mood of writing ( I didn't spell check for that exact reason, haha). But... it was still weird. -shiver- Sorry if it's depressing. -sweat-

You guys may or may not know who these characters are. (Most likely not..)

So what do you think Miwa's last gesture was about. I'm curious.
