It Lies in the Heart.

Natsuki watched Li and looked at Vaj, "are we going back now?" she asked

Syn stood up and walked after Li

 

Vaj nodded and ran after Li

Li reached the house and sighed deeply

 

Kimiko smiled shyly, but still didn't say anything. So I'm her friend in this kingdom...? Okay... She thought, catching on to the plan.

 

Natsuki grabbed Kimiko's hand and ran after Vaj and the others

Syn looked at Li, "whats up with you?"

 

Li shrugged, "Im getting a bad vibe." He said then shot his eyes to the door and walked through it

Vaj ran inside before the door closed

 

Natsuki walked in with Vaj and looked at her, "....can i have something to eat please?... i didnt eat anything today......."

 

Vaj nodded then grabbed her wrist and ran into the kitchen

Li went to the library

 

Natsuki looked back at Li and watched him dissapear into the library before looking at Vaj, "i dont think your brother likes me very much....."

Syn yawned

 

Vaj sighed, "He doesnt like anyone." She said with a annoyed tone then grabbed an apple and held it to her, "Apple?"

Li sat in a chair then took out his book and opened the page

 

Natsuki smled and took it with both hands "thank you!" she said and bit into it, smiling

 

Vaj grinned then sat down at the table

Li flipped through the pages and sighed

 

Natsuki looked at Vaj and swallowed her peice of apple, "why is your brother... you know....."

 

Vaj grabbed a banana from the bowl of the table and peeled it, "He just isnt very social I guess, I think its because of whats happening right now."

 

"because of your Apathy?...." Natsuki asked

 

Vaj frowned and looked down, she bit off a piece of the banana and nodded, "Yeah. He tries to be nice but something like: 'Your not as pretty as you used to be' or something like that always slips out of his mouth. So Im guessing its that."

 

Natsuki frowned, "i dont know what to say without anything coming out wrong......" she said, "i think youre pretty, in your own way. everyone is beautiful in their own way, so it really shouldnt matter,"

Syn had been outside the doors to the kitchen and a slight smile formed on her face when she heard what Natsuki said

 

Vaj threw the peel in the trash can, "I dont have beauty in appearance, or at least not anymore." She said then tightned her fist, "Lets do something else."

 

Natsuki nodded, "what do youwant t do?" she asked

 

Vaj shrugged, "Im going to go change into my Pj's, you can just...I dont know...Do what you want." She said with a laugh then walked upstairs....And upstairs again

 

Natsuki smiled a bit and walked out of the kitchen, looking around for somehing to do
