Scared for Life... by: Duobat218
I've got to keep running..... I had been running so long now I had almost forgot why I had been running in the first place. I had to get away from my life. How did it get so screwed up?
I was 18 now and what some people call the prime of my life. My band had been pretty sucessful and I still had my number 1 stalker. Those little kids we had refered to as "the new group" were teenagers now and a bigger love triangle had resulted. T.K., unsure what
to make of himself, now that he was "older" had begun dressing in black. Everything from his hat to his sneakers were black. He was actually going to dye his hair at one point but dad caught him. He then forbid hair coloring of any kind. Thank god Mimi isn't coming down this winter. She wanted to "fix" my hair. I can only imagine what the end result would be. Anyways T.K. hides out in the basement doing god knows what. Another reason dad and I
believe that he does this is because he can't cope with the loss of mom. He believes only in death and Shigami. Mom was killed last year. Someone broke into the apartment where T.K. and mom lived. When mom and T.K.came home from there Christmas party late at night
they found him.They couldn't make out any features. So mom stalled while T.K. called the cops. The robber getting tired of her, shot mom. He went after T.K.
but heard the sirens and took off. T.K. never forgave himself. The last picture he had
taken was of him and mom that night. She was dressed in a fancy scarlet dress and T.K. in tux. He stopped coming to me with his problems, probley because he finally relized his big brother could not save the world. I havew to admit I miss the old T.K. I haven't seen him smile once since the accident. He was definatly most affected. Dad was trying hard to take care of two boys. I was going to move out to ease the burden until dad had the heart attack. The doctors
said it was the stress.
So here I was, 18 years old and taking care of my father and brother. I am Yamato Ishida. I sat in the grass and rested. It felt like I couldn't run anymore.I felt like I couldn't live this life anymore. I walked to a familiar place and a boy with large hair opened the door. He welcomed me in and I went into his room and sat on his bed while he went to get drinks. I heard his parents tell him that he should go looking for a job and a place of his own. I couldn't help
but chuckle at a conversation that always seemed to be going on. "But T.K.... oh I'm sorry Tareku, but yellow would look good on you again. What destroyed you?!?! You know Davis is getting points. Yea I know I love you too. Love ya T.K..... Tareku." With that the girl hung up and sighed. "Give it up Kari! He's as stubborn as his damn brother!" SMACK "Taichi watch your language near your sister!" I heard his mothers voice. It was all so familiar. The only unfamiliar thing was the crying of the baby. "Mom see your screaming woke the baby!!" Tai yelled back. I smacked my forehead.
He was clueless. He gave her a bottle. Miora was Tai's sister. She was born last October. Tai picked her up and threw her up in the air and caught her. She giggled but spit up the milk she had just drunk all over him. "Eww not again." He gave a sigh and pulled off his shirt. He threw it into a basket I could see
Kari had marked "Miora's accidents on Tai's clothes". Already the basket reeked and Tai turned to me. "Hey can you bring that to my mom while I take care of this punk?" He asked looking at the baby. I picked up the repulsive smelling basket and brought it out. "Oh hi Matt! Ugh...what is that terrible smell?" I showed her the basket and that got her mad. "Taichi Kamiya how many times have I told you not to leave these kind of clothes around? Its bad enough your regular clothes, but these smell like spoiled milk!" She took them into the laundry room. I walked into Tai's room only to be followed by his mom shorty after. "Tai get a shirt on for god sakes. You don't have to be "Mr. Macho" at every second." She sighed and took the baby. Tai laughed and put on a shirt, then he sat on the bunk beds. "How much longer do you think these are gonna last?" He asked joking. "If you don't like them move out like you should!" Came his mothers voice. "I
don't think any of your friends still live at home!"
"Sora."
"She's a girl, its okay for her to still be home!"
"Izzy?"
"He is 17!"
He looked at me.
"Matt?"
"Matt has an excuse. Oh I'm sorry to hear about you dad. How is he?"
"He's better." I responded. I didn't like to think about it.
"Well wanna go play Soccer? I gotta practice cuz I got practice tommorow and I gotta be
the best!" I looked at him a laughed. At least Tai had gotten into a decent college. Everyone wondered how but he was smarter than people gave him credit for. He plaed for the school and was a star. If the scouts that were coming saw im he would be able to go pro. He always asked me if I wanted to play even though I was no longer even competion for him. I nodded, he
grabbed his ball and we left. I played golie and didn't manage to stop one ball. I think he felt bad and he kicked it soft. I kicked it back at him. "Come on Tai, I can lose you know. I do everytime!" I said to him.
"Dude the hair!" he yelled as the ball swooshed by his head. We both laughed. A little while later we were in the park eatting ice cream. I lost, I bought. I relised that I had bought a lot of ice cream for Tai. That must be why he like to play me. The ice cream really had no effect on him, as he was as thin as ever but more muscular now. And he went out of his way to order the three scoops with the works. He smiled as I dished out the cash. "So whats wrong now?" He asked. I swear he could always sense these things. I opened my mouth to speak but he started laughing. "huh?" "Do they relize how funny they look together? I mean my
sister of light and well your brother Shigami."
"Hey don't call him that out or I'll have to take you
out!"
"Hey Shigami!" he yelled so T.K. turned to look at him. I shoved him off the bench. Kari came over pretty pissed. She jumped on Tai and begain beating him up.
"At least he's got a girlfriend!" She said. I finally pulled her off "You know Kari he was just kidding. Hey T.K. umm Tareku, you guys want some ice cream?" They said no and left. "Look Tai my brother is not the god of death." We laughed for a little while over that. Then I noticed the red bleeding scratches on his face. "Geez, she must have been really angry bout that huh?" He smiled. "Nah according to mom its her first "That time of the month". Mom is so proud. She would sing
it off the rooftops." He was laughing. "Poor Kari."
"hee hee remeber how moody Sora got that time?" I remebered. It was two years ago and me and Tai were at her house for cake. She went to the bathroom. After she came out her dog came out with a bloody girl thing in his mouth. She turned red and ran into her room and
cried. I sorta felt bad for it, it was kinda embaressing. Her mom gave us cake and we left. The next day she was mad at us for not comng to comfort her and she didn't speak to us for a week. Yup that was funny.
"So we've been reduced to talking about girls problems when we are together huh? How bout just girls?" I asked grinning. He cracked up. It was dark now. "Well i guess i had better go." I told him good bye and headed home. Our home really seemed like a home now. When T.K. came to live with us, dad finally bought a house. It was wierd but nice. "Hey dad I'm home." He as sleeping. T.K. came home a little later. "Hey
Shigami, I mean Tareku." He gave me a look then went to his basement. "Okay good night." This was my life and this is why I ran.
Okay well that wraps up chapter one, I love reviews so please, if you read it, please please please review it!!
