Infinity Pi
Chapter 1
He was glad that this week was an off game week. That meant no one could see how badly he was injured by that child. Bleeding and sore, he stumbled down the street, leaving his destroyed coat and bandana behind. He only made it about twenty feet before collapsing against the wall of a shop. Gasping for air he held the wound on his side oozing blood. Exhaustion took over and left him there, bleeding for hours. When he finally awoke, he gathered the strength to walk again, and made it to his apartment in Pork City.
Upon entering the building, no one gave the limping teen a hand, or bothered to even look at him, but unlike the people outside, they could see him, but didn't care. Tehno and BJ shuffled away from the elevator quietly to avoid the eminent wrath of the Reaper Officer. Sho growled and hit the up button and waited, holding his wounds closed.
When the elevator finally opened he stepped inside and hit the 13 button. It felt like hours to him when he finally got to his own apartment, leaving a bloody trail from the elevator. He didn't bother to open the door, he just kicked it until it opened, leaving a red boot print on it. He collapsed on the couch that had tears and claw marks through it, and tried to sleep, but knew something was wrong. His door should have been locked, and opened only after he had ripped the lock from the door, but had on the first try. He sat up swiftly and quickly realized how bad of an idea that was. His broken ribs cracked painfully, and closing wounds re opened. His shout attracted the attention of not only his cat, but the intruder in his apartment. He felt hands on his side and bandages being wrapped around wounds non too gently.
"Who the factor are you and why the factoring hell are you doing in my apartment?" Sho grunted angrily as he hand drifted to the gun in his pocket. His bloodied fingers made contact with the beaten pistol when he was answered calmly.
"Relax, it's me." Kariya said smoothly. "What happened, fight with Josh?" Sho only grunted, he didn't want to talk about his failure to take out the composer. Kariya shrugged and removed something from his pocket, and aimed it across the room, and scraping and thumping sounds began to come closer.
Out of curiosity, Sho lifted his head and watched as his cat raced across the medium apartment chasing a laser, not giving a second thought to the objects he knocked over and spilled. The cat ran through a small pool of blood from its owners and turned around, abandoning the small red dot he had found so entertaining minuted ago, and jumped onto the beaten couch.
"Hey Taboo..." Sho patted his companion on the head and got a soft mewl in return. The cat pawed at his hat and eventually his hair until he got more affection. Sitting upright Sho wandered until he had found the bottle of painkillers on the counter. After swallowing a couple he flopped over onto the beat couch once more and slept off his wounds.
