Love Hurts ( Mischa )

[Ceraphine Davis]

Well this was not a good situation to find herself in. Alone, out of school, with the sun setting in the distance and a big oaf of a boy throwing her up against a brick wall of a surrounding building.

Apparently somebody had gotten mad about a decision Kevala had made earlier in the week and as it stood he was too scared to take her on at school where the other pillars were. So what did he do? He waited until she was out and about to ambush her ass.

Not that it was a real problem. Though the collision with the wall hurt like hell. Her back still in pain from recent injuries and leaving her not at the top of her game. Yet standing up once more she looked at him, a little grin curling onto her lips. She said nothing, seeing as how he didnt either. Instead he just readied himself to take down the girl he clearly hated so damn much.

She recognized him, member of a local "school" gang and nothing more. Too pathetic to have his own real gang but mean enough to intimidate others into being his little lackies.

Fortunately for her, she still had all her gear on, and therefore was not going to be so easy to take down.

Rushing him she slammed her fist into his ribs, sending him back and onto his ass. Pussy......Yeah thats exactly what he was. Though he was quick to get to his feet. Surprised by her strength no doubt and rushing in to attack her once more.

His fist colliding with her arm as she raised up to block, only to feel him kick her square in the stomach. Her small form stumbling back. Oh yeah.......this was gonna be fun.

[Mischa Badoer]

Mischa was driving her car around town... well actually she just got back from dropping off a potential buyer for the beach house Kev had gotten her. Apparently they didn't have their drivers license. They didn't look like a responsible bunch, but they had the cash and at this point Mischa wanted to get rid of the fucking place. A phantom lingered within the house and it reminded her of how much of a fuck up she could have been. Mischa had even gone as far as sticking all their photographs in a box. She didn't burn them or throw them out... she couldn't bring herself to do so.

Driving by the school was a short cut to get to the Pizzeria where she would be staying... probably permanently... might as well get some use out of it... s'pecially for the fact Mischa wasn't exactly rich at the moment due to some pretty big ass bribes she had made with the police to make her appear innocent with the Candy Store Massacre.

While Mischa was driving by she couldn't help, but notice a fight. Normally she would carry on driving... but what really caught her attention was the comparison of both fighters... one was a shorter female and the other a very bulky guy. Didn't seem fair...

Mischa parked her car in the lot and shut off her music as left the car. Slowly she approached the gate that separated the parking lot with the school grounds. Her hands clenched the horizontal pole as she leaned in to get a better look.

Now... this is where she put all her strength in her arms and lifted her legs to hop over the fence... she was surprised at that accomplishment due to the fact she had yet to exercise for the longest time... she had been in rehab for a few months.... then a coma for a few weeks and more... so yeah... she was really weak... S'what an adrenalin will do for yeah?

"Kev...?"

She ran to the situation but stopped in her tracks with a flinch when she had seen his big fist being thrown in her direction... Mischa was determined to kick his ass... but she wouldn't be able to bare the sight of Kev being hurt..so yeah.. she closed her eyes..only about 5 feet away.

[Ceraphine Davis]

The fight suddenly took a very unexpected turn......Because Kev suddenly found herself slower, weaker and without the powers her items granted her...

Mischa?

Before she could even look around she was hit so hard it sent her back into the wall once more. This time the pain shooting through her as she whimpered out softly.

It was only then that she caught site of Mischa standing there, eyes closed and not moving. Fuck!

As the guy charged her again, she tried to get out of the way, but he was now faster than she was, his hands gripping her easily enough and slamming her body into his knee.......

As she groaned out in pain, trying to regain her breath, she would feel him release her.....His laugh sounding as he shook his head..

"Not so strong for School Captain are you?"

His mocking tone only making her that much more angry......Though he then spotted Mischa, and as his attention shifted so did Kevs....

Turning in his tracks, he grinned, eying the girl and managing a single step toward her. It was as far as he got before Kev somehow managed to put herself between the two, her arm wrapped about her now tender stomach....

"Back off! Your fight is with me remember?"

She then spoke in a much softer tone over her shoulder, eyes remaining on the threat in front of her.

"Mischa? Sweety....Umm...I am happy to see you, but I am about to get my ass kicked.....So you may want to take a fewww steps back.."

With that she felt his fist connect with the side of her head, sending her to the side where he would deliver several swift kicks to her stomach.......

Fuuuuuu!!!

Coughing and gasping for air, she pushed herself back up, grabbing that chain about her waist....It may not have the abilities it once did, but it was still a weapon.....

Managing to snap it about his wrist as he lashed out at her again, she turned to the side, easily going back behind him and then jerking the chain tight....The force and leverage enough to send him off his feet...where she was waiting for him with her foot to his head.......

Hoping this ended soon....knowing she wouldnt stand much of a fight against him otherwise.....Not that she was weak, but she was still recovering....so yeah...not the best time to go all weak.....

[Mischa Badoer]

Mischa cringed hearing such noises coming from Kevala... Finally she had the confidence to open her eyes.... and that was when she noticed the man taking notice in her....well...better her than Kev.

Though of course it was too good to be true when Kev stepped in between them...... and totally unfair when she was called a "Sweety"... donno why..just irked Mischa.... that and she didn't appreciate getting told to step back. Mischa didn't want to stand by and watch something like this...it upset her tummy.

So....

She pulled out a gun. Good ol' Meems. She walked up to them and of course shoved Kevala out of the way and would lean down to straddle the guy on his chest. The gun would be now pressed against his temple and his eyes would widen as the click of it cocking could be heard.

This was most definitely going to put her at risk... she was already in hot water with the fuzz and she was sure they wouldn't take anymore shit from her... but she couldn't help it. It was her Kevala she was fighting for.

Mischa would lean in to whisper in his ear.

"Don't... for one second... assume Kevala is alone. Don't for one second...think you will beat her."

Yup...she saw the sweat bead.

She would stand now...placing her gun back home in its place.

Now lets see what his next move is....

[Ceraphine Davis]

Well the guy managed to get back to his feet, slowly but surely, his wrist undone from the chain as he looked at Kev like he could kill her.

Yet then the sounds of Mischa jumping in made him turn his head, eyes falling on the gun as he seemed to become very scared....very fast.....

Backing away, he raised his hands, not wanting to deal with that right now, nor ever.....He would wait til she was putting the gun away to turn and run...yes...run......

Which was good because Kev hit the ground in that instant...Her head down and her hands planted against the ground as she coughed and struggled to maintain a slow and steady breath.

With a light sigh she would brush her tongue over her lips. A little nod given as she cast a look toward Mischa finally.

"Thanks for that......Stupid items stopped working....heh..S'what I get for having them made with that shut down ability....."

It was all she could say.....Sure Mischa never knew Kev had built herself with a weakness, but then that was because Kevala knew Mischa would have kicked her ass over it.......But now, it probably didnt matter....The girl most likely hated her...Her actions just now a matter of showing she was the better person...like Kevala always knew she was.............

Lowering her head once more, she would close her eyes, trying not to let the presence of the other girl get to her too badly....But gods how she still felt that tug at her heart......That love still there, no matter what she had said before......No matter what lies she told........It all had a purpose....Mischa just never could know that..........

[Mischa Badoer]

Mischa smiled as the boy ran away.

Damn straights.

She turned to see Kevala fall to the ground and she was alarmed because of this. She took a few quick paces towards her and stopped when Kevala thanked her.

Mischa laughed a little.

"You built items with weaknesses? Why the fuck?" she would plop herself on the grass in front of Kevala... The girl wouldn't look at her and..yeah it sucked... was she hated that much. "Only you would do something like that... for what ever reason" her smile would still be there... all considering... she was still really happy to see Kev... with a shy reach she would brush some of Kev's hair back and reach for her chin to lift her face. "Here... Lets see the damage..."

she was hoping touching her wouldn't be too much... something inside just wanted to be close to her... heck, she would rather Kevala as a friend than having her as a complete stranger and out of her life. Kev was a big part of her life and deserved a spot.

[Ceraphine Davis]

Kevala felt that hand brush her hair from her face, that familiar touch falling lightly upon her chin as Mischa worked to get her to lift her head. Those words echoing in her mind as she sighed, not wanting to lie anymore......Not to her.....

"I did it for you....To make sure I could never hurt you....They stop working whenever you are near....."

Lifting her head finally, she would wince lightly, a bit of blood seeping from the corner of her lips and the side of her head throbbing..........Annnnd of course she was not the big baby she had always been, pouting just slightly.

It was not a conscious act, it was just the way she was when it came to Mischa, no doubt the affects of spending so long together.....The other girl would always be a big part of her life, no matter how much Kev tried to deny it.........

"It is nice to see you......."

Those icy hues falling onto Mischa's....holding that gaze as she offered up a soft, light smile.

Did she hate her?

Of course not, she could never do such a thing. The thought of never touching her again tore at her chest and destroyed all she was inside.....Yet to be near her like this......it was worth the pain she would feel later.....Very worth it.

[Mischa Badoer]

Mischa's brows furrowed as Kevala told her why her items didn't work... didn't work around her? Well that was just none sense... Kev should have known Mischa wouldn't have wanted that...for reasons much like if she were getting her ass kicked all because Mischa stepped in..... much like what just happened. Boy, Mischa sure did wanna scold her, but held back because it would be fair. They were no longer together so it wouldn't be in Mischa's place to tell Kev how to live her life.... not like it was her place to begin with... but it was in her place to help guide her =D

Mischa shook her head to what she had said. "Kev... only you would do that..." she said with a laugh repeating what she had said. What could she say?

"It is nice to see you......."

It's more than nice to see you...

Mischa returned Kevala's smile of course and nodded.

"I agree. It's been awhile..." she had been in a coma for so damn long..

Misha would then tuck her thumb in her shirt sleeve and rub at the small trail of blood on her lip...gotta keep her clean...and Mischa would rather not look at Kev with her own blood visible... no matter how much there was.

"Oh...Hey...I want to thank you for getting me to the hospital." Mischa shrugged..a little shy of the situation. "I realize now all of the things I would have missed out on.."

Moments like this.

[Ceraphine Davis]

Be it instinct or just longing she leaned into the touch that brushed away the blood on her face...her eyes closing slightly, clear that the girl still got to her more than most ever would.

But she was quick to regain herself, nodding softly as she brushed her tongue over her lips.

"You do not have to thank me. I could never have let you die..."

She turned her eyes away, tears building in them from the memories of that night. She wished it had been her that had gotten so severely hurt.....She wanted to go back and stop the whole thing from happening.....But she couldn't and forever she would have to live with the memories of what had happened.....

Of course blaming herself for whatever reason.....It was her nature......Nothing would change that.......

"I am glad you are doing well. That boy who saw you at the hospital really did help huh?"

As soon as the words left her mouth she winced and closed her eyes. Shit! She forgot that Mischa didn't know about the guy that Kev had there keeping tabs on the girl.

Well.....she had been so hurt...and well....Kev had needed to know she was okay.....It was far beyond wanting at that point....Sooo yeah......

She said nothing else.......too worried she would put her foot back in her fucking mouth and not wanting to have the other girl hate her more than she already did probably......or at least more than she should......

[Mischa Badoer]

"You do not have to thank me. I could never have let you die..."

Mischa smiled.... even though she watched Kev turn away. Living with the girl so long you can pick up on when they are upset. Mischa kept on smiling... she wanted Kev to do the same thing. "Yeah..would have done the same for you in a heart beat... but doesn't mean I'm not thankful." her teeth were now in the picture of that smile. Mischa was genuinely happy she was talking with Kev. The girl told her she hated her...so yeah... being able to have a conversation was very nice.

"I am glad you are doing well. That boy who saw you at the hospital really did help huh?"

K....that was uncalled for.

Why Kev would know something like that was beyond her.... Mischa didn't know how to react t something like that...so she was just her quirky self and just pressed the tips of her fingers to her chest and opened her mouth wide as if she were appalled.... obviously joking of course. "Miss Katashi, are you stalking me?" she would say in an accent....looking like as if she were on a black and white movie. Mischa laughed slightly at her own joke then nodded. "Riley? Yeah... It was nice to know there are people still in my life... It was unexpected of course... He was an old flame of Reira's and became a close friend of mine in that process... haven't seen him in a long time..."

Why Mischa felt she had to justify who the boy was...was beyond her. It was like Mischa was scared Kevala would have thought he was a boyfriend or something.... Kev....probably didn't care.

Mischa would lay back now... waiting for Kevala to regain her strength. "So... How's the pillarship thing going? Successful I'm guessing if guys triple your size are taking you on." she said with that smile still on her face.

[Ceraphine Davis]

As Mischa explained who that boy had been Kevala breathed and obvious sigh of relief....Yes she knew that she could not be jealous, but that did not mean that she wasn't....Like anything she did was what she was supposed to do.

A smile breaking out on her face, however light it was she shrugged, casting that shy little glance to Mischa that she had so many times before.

"Well I am glad you have a friend...And I would not call it stalking.....more.....observing from a safe distance."

That smile turning into a teasing grin as she tucked her hair behind her ear and bit upon her lower lip.

Then mention of the pillarship came up and Kev sighed, shrugging once more with a little shake of her head.....

"I feel like I cannot breath.....Like I am weighted down...unable to change....."

To most it would seem silly, but to the very few that knew her so well, it was something that was a big deal.....Kev was never one to be contained or weighted down.....It was just as bad as killing the poor thing.......

[Mischa Badoer]

"I feel like I cannot breath.....Like I am weighted down...unable to change....."

Mischa's head turned to look at Kev...with a look of sincerity. "Kev... you're not allowed to feel like that, because I said so..." she said with a little smirk. "Don't let anyone get to you. If anything... take a few steps back so you can give yourself room to grow. You are a complicated girl I will give you that... and someone like you shouldn't be held back by people's problems."

Her brown eyes now turned from Kev to look up at the clouds. "Your limit is the sky.. but you can't reach it if people are tying you down. Though.. knowing you.. you're too stubborn to think for yourself." she giggled while looking back at her and giving her a nudge with her right hand.

It felt natural to hang out with Kevala..though it was really easy to get lost and forget what really went on between the two of them. Mischa would sit back up. "You just gotta get it through your head!" she said in a cheerful tone as she would stick her hands in Kevala's hair and mess it up. When her hands would recede Mischa would bite her lower lip to try and hold back the laughter.

[Ceraphine Davis]

Ack! Nuuu!! Not the hair!!

She knew how much that got to Kev! Evils!!

Kevala narrowing her eyes in a playful manner as she looked at the girl through a mess of raven hair falling into her face now.

"That was uncalled for..."

She then shot her hand out and tickled the other girls side, a grin on her lips as she hit that spot that always got Mischa moving. Kev loved it when she got all squirmy and such...Soooo cute!!!

Then she drew her hand back, using it to try and comb out her hair as she shrugged and then fell back to lay on the ground and look up at the sky.

"I have so many people to look out for in that school and you know how I am.....What people usually think of me when they see me.....It is just so stressful, and now it doesn't even end when I get home at night.....Dealing with phone calls and shit...all the while trying to make sure Zeke is getting enough attention and such....."

She rolled her eyes, not even noticing her rant had included a kid that Mischa did not know about....It was just so easy to talk to her that Kev forgot to watch her words.....She had never had to..so the idea of doing it now was soooo ....odd...

[Mischa Badoer]

She started to chuckled at Kevala's response to the hair...only to get a look of shock and her arms flailed when she saw Kevala reach over to tickle her.

"NUUUUUU."

She yelled jokingly...then flopped over to her side so Kevala couldn't reach that dratted spot! HAHA won that round.

Misha stayed laying down and once Kev fixed her hair like the little princess she was...she laid down also. Mischa nodded as the words poured from Kev's lips...though a moment of pause when a "Zeke" had been mentioned.

Do I dare to ask?

"Zeke?"

Apparently so.

Now..Mischa was feeling jealous... if it was a guy she had met and got close to.... but of course the last thing on her mind was a child that was born from Kevala herself. Then Mischa felt very stupid for asking who this Zeke was..it was not her place to be nosey... especially at a time when Kevala was opening up to her. Gawd this was probably why Kev left her T_T Focused on the wrong things.

"Sorry.."

[Ceraphine Davis]

>__<

Kevala didnt notice her mistake until the last moment where Mischa's jealousy spiked and that single question escaped her lips. Fuck! Drawing in a deep breath Kevala lifted her butt up off the ground and pulled her phone from the back pocket of her jeans, flipping it open and tapping the screen to bring up the screen saver......

It was then, with a bit of hesitation that she handed the phone over to Mischa.....

"Zeke...."

It was all she said.....The picture of the little boy that would be seen by Mischa more than enough to explain......

Now it was just hoping that Mischa didnt hate her all the more thanks to her keeping him a secret.....Not like she had wanted to, it was just.......yeah given who his daddy was........and uncle...and yeah...........

She closed her eyes and waited, her hands resting on her stomach as she felt the nausea starting to set in. What the hell? It was not like the reaction she got could put them any worse off than they already were.....

But....yeah....it still bothered Kevala to no end.......She would rather have Mischa as a friend, if that was even possible, than not at all.......Gahhh! Why did she have to be such a fucked up person?

Deep down she hated herself so much.....Yet she kept that hidden away from everyone.....Nobody needed to hear how much she wanted to just disappear so she could stop fucking shit up....

Heh......Gabe was so right about her being pitiful.....Even if he didnt really mean it at the time.....
