Good for you?

At least I didn't jump out a window- *poignant stare*

Shut up! It got me out of there!

Doors work wonders.

I walked out, and you, you had to show off your amazing kitty abilities to freak the hell out of your classmates and meet your feline fan club.

You shut up! It still got me out and it's not like I CALLED those stupid cats, they just came!

You keep telling yourself that, Kyo.

Shit up, you know it's true! Do YOU make horses come?

Not that frequently.

Why? Were you ill?

Sick and tired of all the crap...

I needed a break, so I took one.

Oh. It makes sense.

That is quite a luxury. I wish I could afford them.

I thought so. Though I believe the bastard principal called the main house.

So what are you waiting for? They can only hang you once.

And you were expecting him to just overlook your absence? It's not as if Hatori excused you or something.

*bristles a little, looking indignant* The school president can't just not show up. It would be setting a bad example.

I don't care. It doesn't matter whether I'm there or not. I wasn't for the last two months-- why should this be any different?

Do you have those sycophants and lovesick groupies to do that for you? What are you scared of--?

It should be a matter of something for you, shouldn't it? Learning things. Bettering... I don't know. What you can.

*flushes then, a little hotly, visibly withdrawing* Be quiet. I didn't ask for all that and you know it.

*he'd struck a nerve, her dark eyes narrow at a perceived slight*

There's nothing wrong with me that school a little school couldn't fix, right? Why the hell should I care what those idiots think? I don't have anything to prove. We all know what he has planned for us.

No, but you didn't object to their infantilizing admiration either. Because admiration is better than abject apathy isn't it, Yuki?

I didn't say there was anything wrong with you, I just said you could learn things. I do, every day at it, so--

*Talk about striking nerves, because her next comment has him freezing up, hands balled into fists at his sides, as he goes a little white.* Shut up.

There's nothing I want--

*She didn't finish that thought, Rin didn't dare, because if she had it hit too close to the truth-- it would have become too painfully real-- that once she found what she wanted, she'd be forced to give it up again.

Those dark eyes hovered over his clenched fists, his paled tightened expression like a child who'd been caught in red-handed, this made Rin angrier*

You're still too frightened to do anything. Stop being pathetic!

*Yuki takes a sharp step forward then, indignant, fists still at his sides.* I am not pathetic. Or frightened. So don't you dare tell me what I am or what I'm not, because I very well know, Rin. Don't.

*Her gaze is unwavering, Rin stares down that righteous indignation with that same volatile passion which she so was so notorious for charging headlong into, her voice starting strong before wavering into nothing*

Then do it! Stop letting them control you because nothing is worse than this! Nothing could be...

*And at once, Yuki's quiet again, fixes her with a stare, before he says,* They don't control me anymore. *And it's soft and wavering and even he's not sure he believes it, but he stands by it nonetheless, nods once.*
