Chapter 1: Yanki Flower
"I'm home." I called in to the dark space,
great i'm talking to an empty house. Not
that I can help it, moms only been gone for a day or so; business
trip to Osaka, what's there besides fried
octopus? [I]and Sora's at a friends
house, like he's ever home when moms not.
But I can't blame him dad's a sociopath. I turned on the kitchen,
hallway, and entire way lights to make it seem as though there was
someone else in the house besides me, myself, and I, man i'm such a
baby. I walked up the stairs, down the thin hallway, put my bag in my
small plain room, and then headed to the bathroom. "Might as
well take a bath before 'daddy' come home." in habit I looked
over at my reflection. messy blonde hair, blue eyes; everything the
same, accept the big purplish burse on the right side of my face.
"Damn that Saix, he didn't have to kick the living shit out of
me just cause I wanted out of the gang." scowling, I thought
about axel, he DID warn me, so maybe I DO
deserve this.
Around 2 am I
hearted dad come home from his weekly 'home away from home' or more
commonly known as the bar. I decided it would be safest to just
'pretend' that I was still asleep and that he didn't just wake me
up (on a school night I might add). His steps were awkward, like a
'to drunk to even walk straight person'. The hallway light went on
then off as he closed my parents bedroom door, I sighed in relief
that he didn't come check on me, like he dose when he's sober the
only reason he's been drunk every night since mom left is 'cause
she'll leave him if he's drunk when she's home."
what a child" I mumbled then went back to sleep.
"ROXAS!!" I looked back at sora trying to catch up with me,
so that we could walk to school together. "Figures you'd find me
on the way." I said with a grin, "dont tease me, I would
have walked with you but dad said you left really early, hey when
THAT had happen?" he pointed to my cheek. "It's not nice to
point-" "OHHH! you left the Dark Dragons??" yes,
it's a stupid name but he didn't have to say it out loud."
yeah, do you like my battle scar?" trying to hide the fact that
i'm in serious pain, I laughed" come on, little brother lets go
before we're late." grinning I started to walk away.' But,
what happen-!"I glared at him and he knew I had no intention of
telling him anything.
Sora stayed silent for most of all the
classes I had with him, not speaking to me as much as he could
...until lunch break. We walked in silence up to the roof, the place
where we usually eat together when I'm actually at school.
"Hey, Roxas." Sora said in his 'please talk to me voice."
yeah?" "Remember that boy we used to play with back when we
lived in England?" we moved to Tokyo when we were 6 or 7"
no, I haven't been 6 in ten years" I said coldly, still walking
up the stairs. "Well, he moved to Tokyo and goes to school with
us now..." stopping I looked down at him." I talked to him in
my PE class, he's waiting for us. I told him to meet us on the roof,
so that we could catch up." smiling at me he went on walking up
the stairs. Great, that's just what I
wanted to do today.
Sora opened
the door and a bright stream of light came through the dark stair
way. As my eyes adjusted to the light outside sora waved to a tall
boy with long silver hair that covered some of his eye, which were a
bright green, he had fare skin. He was beautiful
did I just think that?!?! I shook the
idea out of my mind, but I couldn't help myself. "RIKU! Hey
riku!!" sora yelled over to him, he made a face at him and said"
hay's for horses sora." then he looked over at me and said"
wow, rox' you've grown up." He looked me up and down for a
minute then said " come on don't just stand there don't you
remember me?-" "ye-yeah I do its just.... nothing, umm hi
long time no see?" I sat down next to soar and opened up my melon
bread. It was quit for a minute until sora broke the silence with
loads of questions for riku which involved asking if he'd come and
stay the night at our house, which of course he said yes to.
The whole time I couldn't help but think that riku
was staring at me. 'DING DONG DONG' thank
god for the bell. I sighed in relief, but
as I got up to leave with sora, riku grabbed my wrist and said in a
very serious tone, "If they ever, EVER touch you again. You tell me
and I'll take care of them." I tried my best to not make a
scene, so I took my wrist back and looked him in the eye and said (in
a shaking voice) "I don't know what you're taking about. I just
got hit with a basketball that's all "im
so pathetic I sound little a shaken lion that's facing death.
I knew that he wouldn't buy it but he just looked at me and then I
,almost yelled "I have to get to class see you later" then
I ran away like a child from him until I was out of the school and
down at the court yard. Then I did what I never do I went under a
tree and cried...
"I'm so pathetic"
