The Forgotten Boy and The Rabbit
*sigh*
The past few days have been...quiet.
Ever since he left, I've been really bored. Even more bored than before the P1 Climax. God. This really sucks.
Sho wanders around the quiet town of Inaba with no true destination in mind. More than once he has felt suspicious eyes watching his every step, but never once did anyone bother him. He shoves his hands into his pockets then kicks a small stone down the street.
So much for bonds and friendship huh?
With a heavy sigh, Sho moves on toward the river. His feet are heavy as he treks forward. Who knew the world could be so quiet? Ever since Minazuki has left, or whatever he did, Sho has realized just how quiet the world is. More often than not, he wandered around town listening to the cicadas sing their annoying song or the chatter of townsfolk walking around. Even when meandering around aimlessly, no one bothers to say a word to Sho. Rather, they just give him awkward glances before scurrying the other direction. Things hadn't gotten better since the P1 Climax...they got worse. Much worse.
At least back then I had him. But, hey, maybe he isn't ACTUALLY...
His eyes water up a bit as he reaches the riverbank. The calming waves sway back and forth, dancing toward land as if beckoning Sho to join them. Instead, he sits down under a tree and allows his mind to wander. Lost in the thoughts of Minazuki and his hectic attempt to destroy the world, Sho finds his mind wandering to sadder times – as if there were any other kinds of memories in his tired head. He remembers when Minazuki first awoke. At last, there had been someone else for him to talk to. And for the first time ever, this other person had truly seemed to care. It had been a magical – albeit painful – thing for him. Ikutski had never really listened to anything he had said as a child. Rather, he had forced him to train over and over, develop his skills in hopes that Sho's persona would awake and they could wreck havoc together. But instead, Minazuki awoke to the persona and thus more pain.
If it hadn't been for Minazuki, would I have made it through everything? Probably not.
*sigh*
Shaking his head, Sho decides to stop thinking as his thoughts merely sink down further and further into the well of sadness within him, which in turn just makes him angry. Somehow, Yu, Labrys and the rest of the team had made a slight change within him. He didn't like it either, these stupid tears had been daring to fall for days. But, Sho kept trying to stay strong. Surely Minazuki would return soon. He just overworked himself. Right?
I mean, trying to kill everyone in the world isn't exactly easy work. Hahahaha. A couple day long nap seems pretty normal for that right? Right!?
With another sigh, Sho lays down on his back and watches the clouds sway through the sky. Without him realizing it, his mind begins to wander again. His father had been such a miserable fool. He had forced Sho through so much pain, suffering and strenuous training. Ikutski had pushed him, prodded him and left him all alone nearly every day. That idiot had left more than one bruise on Sho's once fragile body. But...at least he was someone. Sure, when Minazuki came around, things got better. At least there was someone to stand up for him once in a while. And Minazuki was strong! Even when Sho was left alone, he was never really alone. Minazuki had kept him company in his own way.
Watching the clouds, Sho realizes just how desperately he misses those days. Those days of not being alone. Even the torturing wouldn't be so bad if he just had Minazuki back. Not realizing it, Sho begins to cry. He'd only ever cared about two people in his entire life. Two lonesome tears roll down his cheeks as the realization hits him...
First my father then my brother. The only two people to ever give a rat's ass about me were both killed. I got my damn wish. And there's nothing I can do about it. I really am completely alone. And it's more boring then ever. I'm just a forgotten piece of trash in a pile of garbage. God. This just sucks.
