Butch's POV

Brick, is he going to help the Powerpuff Girls or does he want the Punkz out of the way for when he finishes off Blossom?

Doesn't matter, I have to do something about Kaor- Damnit, I mean Buttercup.

I can't believe she lied to my face like that. It explains why she acted so weird on that first day of high school, but still...

I trusted her, damn it.

And fell in lo- No! I can't think about that right now! I have to focus!

What do I do!?

Should I forgive her? No, that's out of the question...

Kill her? I wouldn't be able to bring myself to do it...

So, leaving her be is all I can do? That's not enough. I need to do something.

There has got to be some kind of solution to all of this...

Out of nowhere, a stream of green light energy passed by me. Another followed it.

That must have Buttercup and Brute, finally duking it out, I guess.

The other Puffs and the Rowdyright Boys seemed to be strategizing. Breaker looks a little off.

I looked under him, and a red ribbon slithered by his ankles.

I'll leave that for them to deal with. I have to interrogate Buttercup about why she did what she did.

I flew off, following the direction Buttercup and Brute went in. They seemed to be long gone, but if I wait probably long enough, one of these decrepit buildings will explode from them fighting.

Whoosh...

The wind shifted in a different direction behind me. I turned around, and facing me with a cocky smile was Brute.

I scowled at her right before she dissapeared in the blink of an eye, and in her place was Buttercup.

Who had her fist raised the air as if she were going to punch me.

I swiftly caught her hand in my fist, while she gave me a look of surprise, like she didn't know I was right there.

Which she probably didn't.

Before I could even utter her name, Brute came flying from nowhere and punched Buttercup on the cheek, causing her to fly through a nearby building.

"Why, thank you, Butchie, I needed her distracted, or else I could have lost," Brute laughed and stuck her tongue at me.

Damn, she's annoying.

Buttercup came flying back, giving Brute an equally hard punch to the face. Buttercup barely even glanced at me as she chased after Brute. They kept going at each other like this.

Somehow, during their fight, they were increasing their speed. A punch there, a kick here, it was almost impossible to follow them with normal eyes, but I kept up.

They were slowly inching towards me.

I was getting tired of being patient with them. Once they were close enough, I stuck my out in front of them. I grabbed one of their faces, and in the next instant, I smashed the back of her head into the hard, concrete ground. Surrounding the two of us was a thirty foot crater that was about ten feet below ground level.

I could have sworn we were about one hurndred feet in the air, but it doesn't matter.

I lifted by hand to see which one I had grabbed. There was a fifty-fifty chance it could be either one of the two.

It was Brute, who was now unconscious..I heard someone land behind me. That must be Buttercup.

"Thank you," she said muttered softly.

"Tch, don't thank me. I didn't know who I grabbed, so there was a good chance that this could have been you," I said while kicking Brute's sleeping body.

"I...I'm sorry," she croaked out. She tried saying other things, too, but they just didn't seem to come out correctly. Buttercup fell on her knees and stared at the ground.

Too strong to cry but too weak to talk.

"Why didn't you just push me away? If you rejected me, I would've left you alone..." I questioned her. She started shaking.

"I-I don't -"

"Do you even know how selfish you were being? Did you even really care about me? Or were you just using me?" I accused.

"I'd never-"

"Oh, don't tell me, Bubbles and Blossom pushed you into it, didn't they? I bet they were only using my brothers, too,"

"They didn't-"

"They didn't what?" I crouched my knees and grabbed her chin, "At least look me in the eye when you lie to me like this," I could feel the anger I've been surpressing coming out. I was about to explode.

"Tell me the truth, KAORU!" I screamed at her. Her eyes became wet. She's on the verge of tears. She opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out.

I puhed her face away from me, causing her to fall the ground.

"We never used you guys," Buttercup forced out. She propped herself up on her arms and looked straight at me. "I didn't want to hurt you," she cried out.

"I-I told them it wasn't a good idea to get close to you but after you came to us and-and told us you were done being the villain,they completely bought it and-" she stopped talking, her sobs replaced her words.

Pity, is what I wanted to feel. It's what I always felt. It's what's 'normal' to me. Now...I just wanted to back before we went to.that damned high school.

I watched Buttercup cry on the ground, right in front of me. When I look at her, I see Kaoru.

But she is Kaoru, which makes it even worse.

I...just want to go home. I may not have a real one...but it's close enough. I've never felt so cowardly my entire life.

I'd face a monster with batting an eye, but a crying girl? Damn it all...

"Quit crying," I ordered. I don't want to deal with this. I don't know what I'm supposed to do.

I just don't...

I wanted to be angry with her, again, but I just felt exhausted.

Buttercup sniffed loudly, but she was still sobbing. I couldn't take it anymore. I shook her shoulders, and yelled at her to stop.

Her eyes, those damned light green eyes, filled with pain and sadness.

I somewhat regret what I did next, giving into her. The second she looked at me, I knew I wouldn't be able to turn away. She stared at me, and I gave in;

I kissed her.
