Prolouge
As the wind blows through his crow-like hair, he stares up at the full moon, with the sparkling stars shining brightly. The boy's eyes close gently , as he lets all of his built up emotion out by letting the warms rivers run down his face and drip off the building to the ground 10-stories below. Itsuki Minami, or otherwise known as Ikki, then stands up, the wind ripping at his clothes, as if desperately trying to pull him back. With tears still streaming down his face, he takes a couple steps back, readying himself. 'I'll get to fly for both of us now. Even if it's only for a few seconds.' the boy thought. Then, Ikki opens his eyes, tells everyone goodbye in his mind, lets his eyes flutter closed, and takes his last breathe before his last decision takes his life.
Chapter 1
Things would never be the
same without you.
'Akito's birthday is in a week. I know what I'm going to get him, better yet, take him.' I thought. Class was boring since Agito got Akito expelled for shoving a boy through the boy's bathroom wall. The teacher was speaking in a unknown language. Why does she have to do that? I just stared at the clock as time slowly, but surely ticked closer to the end of school, which means closer to Akito. Just keep ticking the time away Mr. Clock. I need you to keep ticking so I can see my little ! Bing! The bell went off. I feverishly grabbed my things and dashed out the freshly opened door. I rushed down the crowded hallway to my locker. I hurriedly put the combination in and threw open the locker door. Then I yanked out my jacket and AT's. I slammed the blue locket shut and continued my dash down and out of the tripping, I ran out of the front doors, then sat on the steps and forced my AT's and jacket on. Then, I zoomed off back home to my little angel. On my way home, I stopped at the store and bought a birthday card and a locket. I then wrote happy birthday on the card and filled the locket with a picture of Akito and one of me. I closed the locket and slipped it into a heart-shaped box. I continued home.I took my key pot of my pocket and unlocked my door. I walked inside to be glompped to the ground. "Hi Ikki-kun! I'm so glad you're back!" He cheered as he hugged my arm and rubbed his face on my leather sleeve. I hugged him with my other arm. "I missed you too, my little shark." Akito giggled at the sound of the name. I smiled at him. He tilted his head back so he could see my smile. At least, I think my smile. Maybe he was looking at my eyes, but I didn't bother to question his motives. "Ikki-kun...." He trailed off.I stared at him, waiting for his fragile lips and voice to finish the sentence. He just tilted his head back down and closed his eye, for the other was covered with an eye-patch. Nothing had happened to him, he just wore it so he could switch over to Agito, the other soul that lives in Akito's body. He murmured something to himself. Akito leaned his head on my shoulder.I carefully placed my head on his, closing my eyes. I slowly ran my fingers through his blue hair. He let out a soft sigh and squeak. We laid on the floor for a long time, listening to each others breathing. In and out, lifting and dropping. The wooden floors grew warmer with was late evening, around 9:03 p.m when I decided the floor was too hard and stiff to lay on anymore, so I whispered, "Akito, Akito, are you awake?" No answer, but I could feel his delicate chest lifting and dropping, so he was still alive. Cautiously, I moved his breakable-looking body off of me and picked him up threshold style. I carried him off the upstairs bed and gently set him upon the pillows and I laid next to him after taking off my AT's and jacket and tossing them to the floor. Then I placed my arms around the fragile shark-boy's body and fell asleep.
