i dont own anything

I hate this. I'm never able to stay in one place, at one school, always having to move. I Hate having to adjust all over again, but Yukimi promised this would be the last move for quite sometime. That's also what he said last time... the last place we were at didn't last two months. I pray that this would be the last move for a while, maybe I wont move again. I don't have high hopes though. Yukimi always said that he needed changes in scenery to be able to come up with new ideas for his books... or whatever it was he wrote, maybe it was a magazine column? Or novels? I never really bothered to find out. I assume novels of some kind seeing as he always had to have sea changes.

So here I am, early morning, it's rather misty and cold. Standing in front of a relatively small house, I'm guessing two maybe three bedrooms, on the outer rim of Banten. It had two floors.. And looked relatively... uh... well lived? Used to its fullest? Ah what's it matter really? It's just old, I suppose its what's on the inside that matters. 'Don't judge a book by it's cover', or maybe in this case 'don't judge a house by its paneling'? As long as its not infested with some form of insect it should be fine. Although there is a forest out the back... there could be insects, I hope not. It's the last thing I want when im trying to sleep. I don't necessarily hate bugs but just when they crawl on me I don't like being touched by anything or anyone actually. Away from my rambling. Where was I? Ah right in front of the house. I guess if it was someone other than myself and Yukimi people would say the house had 'potential' but we don't do house repairs.

I start my walk up to the front door. I reached the big, heavy, faded door and swung it open. To my surprise it didn't squeak eerily at all. Wasn't creepy in the slightest. And to my immense surprise the inside of the house looked moderately new, clean and almost sparkly although I stress 'almost'. I can hear Yukimi swearing lightly and moving things in another room. No not moving things, it sounds more like breaking things. I knew we should have hired those moving guys, they weren't that expensive. And a lot easier than packing the Mini full to the brim and renting that little truck. Not that we had that much stuff, but it was a little truck... I think we managed to fit more things in the Mini.

"Oi! Yoite! Come 'ere! Help me with this big thing!" Yukimi yelled from what im pretty sure was the living room.

"Yeah. Kay. Coming." I said dropping my bags just near the door. Walked rather slowly into the room Yukimi was shouting from. He was trying to move some big cabinet thing that had gotten stuck on the lounge and he couldn't really move anywhere without dropping it. He was holding it such a troublesome angle. I stood just staring at him for a minute, how on earth did he get himself into this one?

"C'mon don't just stand there like a lemon. Help." he said. His face was turning slightly red from the effort.

I didn't really know how to help so I just sort of lifted the other end clumsily and let him do most of the work. He placed it down it a corner of the room. I didn't even know we had a cabinet that big. Maybe it came with the house. I don't really care to be totally honest. I'd rather not be here. I'd rather not be anywhere. Just...nowhere.

"Whew. That bloody thing was heavy." Yukimi sighed wearily. "Ah so how do you like the place, Yoite? It was pretty cheap."

"Its alright." I said, Yukimi was used to my short replies.

"Mhm. Alrighty then. I'll leave you to unpack your stuff. Feel free to pick which ever room you like."

"Okay." I walked back to the door, grabbed my bags and made my way up the stairs. I checked each room. As it turns out there's three rooms. Yukimi has obviously already claimed the master bedroom. I choose the room right down the end of the hall. It was a nice darkish blue color. Rather large. It had a double bead in the far left corner, a dresser and bookshelf along the right wall and a wooden desk just to my left. It was nice. Despite my initial dislike for this place. Dropping my bags on the bed I went and looked out the window, It had a nice view of the forest behind the house. I guess I could get used to it here.

"Yoite! Food! Hurry up!" Yukimi shouted. Food. Highlight of my day, really. I don't bother shouting back. I walked down the stairs. I had no problem finding the kitchen. The one thing I liked about smaller houses, easy to find things. I sat down at the little table we had. Bacon and eggs, Yukimi cant really cook much else. And ate my early breakfast silently albeit ravenously. Yukimi was across the table reading a magazine. I stopped eating momentarily to look at it... aw man it's a brochure...not just any brochure, a school one. Great. I'm just going to pretend like I didn't see it and maybe it will just vanish. I went back to my food, a bit slower this time.

"You'll have school tomorrow, Yoite." He said, not once looking up at me. Damn, it didn't disappear.

"Mhm." I didn't want to have to go to school but it was inevitable. Yukimi put the brochure down on the table and went to put his not quite finished plate in the kitchen. I swiped the little book and just flicked through... great... uniforms... just great...it was dark blue slacks and a white button up and a jacket was optional so it wasn't all that bad. I wonder if I would be able to get away with keeping my tan colored Gatsby cap. I some how doubt I will. I'm not giving it up without a fight though. Okay maybe not a fight but at least some kind of complaint on my part.

"Oi, Yoite." Yukimi stuck his head in from the kitchen.

"Yeah?"

"I'm just take off for a little while, gotta do something's I shouldn't be back to late. Mid afternoon maybe. I'll pick up your clothes for school on my way. So you don't need to worry bout anything. See you later kid." he said then almost bolts out the door. He's a little odd sometimes... I look over at the clock. Its 7:30 am... damn. Its still early, to early for town exploring. I don't feel remotely tired.

I might go check out the forest thing.

I walk up stairs, grab my cap and spare house key Yukimi gave me on the way here, locked the front door and took off down the back.

Which path should I take? Well not really paths but trails. I decide on the far left one. I've been on this trail for the better part of an hour, I made sure not to make any left or right turns so I wont get lost.

I flinched.

"Its just a hare." I muttered to myself. I watched as the hare bounded to a clearing to my left. I stopped, trying to peer through the trees. It was a big thicket but I could make out something big in clearing. Should I go check it out? Curiosity killed the cat... I follow the way the hare went, I stumbled on a oversized branch that clearly jumped out at me. I reached the clearing and there was what looked like an abandoned train car. Upon closer inspection. There was two abandoned train cars. How they got out here I wouldn't know (or care).

I'm not to keen on going in there, there could be who knows what in there. Nonetheless my legs took me in there of their own accord. To my surprise it isn't filled with man-eating monsters or things like that. I smirk slightly. I found myself a good place to hide.

I take a look around the car, it was overgrown somewhat and faded paint but I liked it enough.

I stepped on something, I looked down.

"Ah! Shit!" I jumped back and the snake slithered away under the chair. Whew. I thought it was going to bite me or something. That would have been bad, seeing as I'm an hour away from the house and Yukimi had no idea where I was, although I'd probably already be dead by the time he realised I wasn't even home. Aw well. At least I wouldn't have to go to school tomorrow. Not looking forward to that one.

I sat down on the chair opposite the snake chair. I sighed. I just sat there thinking for quite a while.

"I suppose I should head back now. It'll be noon by the time I get back." I strode out of the car and tried to make it back to the trail I was on beforehand without incident. I made sure to kick that branch on my way through.

When I got home I went straight to my room and just flopped on my bed, already feeling sleep take me. I guess I was more tired than I thought.

I woke to a rather dark room. Boxes still unpacked... I should fix that... I'll get around to it later. Wondering what time it was I sleepily stumbled down the stairs, I could hear what I'm guessing was Yukimi cursing to himself again. I poked my head around in to the living room to see Yukimi trying to set up the television. He looked over at me.

"Ah. Was wondering when you'd get up kiddo. Have a nice nap?" I just nodded. Suddenly aware of how hungry I was, I hadn't eaten anything since early this morning. I ducked into the kitchen and began my hunt. There was nothing. I looked up at the clock, 6:00 pm. Great, twelve hours till I had to get up for school.

"Yoite," I turned back to Yukimi trying to plug in cables, would we even get reception out here? "I'll be ordering pizza in a minute, I was just waiting for you to get up. Oh and I put your uniform in your wardrobe thing."

"Okay." I muttered and walked back up to my room in a sad attempt to unpack.

A few hours, unpacked things, pizza slices later. I was finally done with my room. Not that I had much to unpack but I took my time. So its nine 'o' clock and im not feeling tired at all. I probably shouldn't have fallen asleep earlier. Oh well. I'll stay up a while longer.

"Yoite! Yoite!! Get your ass up now! Your so going to be late! Oi! C'mon!"

I almost jumped out of my bed. There was Yukimi, couldn't he have woken me nicely? Jeez

"Okay! I'm up." I said still rather tired. "What time is it?"

"Quarter past seven lazy ass! School starts at eight so get up." he shouted, god go back to the army psycho. Who yells at seven in the morning? Wait, school starts at eight? I still have plenty of time.

" I still have a fair amount of time, Yukimi." I dead panned.

"Not when you have to walk you don't!" What?! Why couldn't he have told me yesterday?

"Okay. I'm up. Now get out." He left grinning in triumph. Bastard. I got up, went and got my awesome uniform. Sarcasm dully noted. Quickly went for a shower and did the whole usual thing. Decided to skip breakfast. To nervous to eat. Not that I'd tell anyone that. Now I should make it in time right? Oh wait. Crap!

'Someone' neglected to tell me where the school is.

"Yukimi!" I shouted, rather peeved. He rushed in, thinking something was wrong, I scarcely yelled.

"What?!" He looked terribly flustered. It was rather amusing.

"Where's the school?" I said in monotone, if only to annoy him some. He should have told me where beforehand if he expected me to walk.

"Ah god. Is that all? Jee. Just go down the drive way and down the road a bit. It just there." he sighed. Aw man 'down the road a bit'? Yukimi was hopeless. I bet it's a real complicated way to get there. I had to go anyway though.

"See you this afternoon then Yoite." I just rolled my eyes at him. Better start my hunt for school. I knew I was going to be late. I grabbed my cap threw it on and was out the door. Dammit. Forgot my bag. I jog back inside and up to my room. Grabbed my bag and back out the door.

Finding the school wasn't nearly as impossible as I was expecting. Quite a ways to walk though.

I walked in the school gates with more than a few looks, I was used to it though. The new kid is always the oddity, the freak. It would go away eventually. If I was here that long.

I reached the doors to the admin building, swung them open and entered the air conditioned room.
