((A/N: This Is TOTALLY off story line. So it would be smart if you didn't try to think of the story line really. I'm going to start at age 7 to show you how life went on for Kei and Sho. K? So follow along.))
Chapter 1
Sho Age 7:
Kei laughed as he walked down the streets with his only friend. The only friend he had who knew about his vampire powers. Luka had died two years ago and Kei was on his own.
Except for Cierlean. His best friend, who would stick behind him no matter what. Lean was also one of Lukas creations. Nothing could stop the two, nothing at all. Well, until a little boy named Sho came into the picture.
He and 3 other boys were standing in front of a broken down school, that apparently functions enough that the parents still send their kids to it to learn common sense. "SHO!"
Kei didn't even turn to watch what was happening. His eyes followed the boys. The oldest it looked like was the one that had screamed. Maybe the second oldest had fallen down, or maybe pushed down fropm the looks of it. The youngest was running away screaming "HELP!"
THe other boy had a smirk on his face and his hands pulled into small little fists. Kei frowned and Lean looked at the direction of the kids and stopped. "Should we do something?" He asked quietly, Kei shaking his head.
Come on kid, get up! Kei thought to himself. The boy, Sho, stood up slowly and put up his fists as the boy lunged for him. "SON!" He yelled as he ducked a blow from the lunging boy.
Sho stood to see Son fall from no balance. He laughed and the oldest one pulled on Shos arm. "Shinji! I don't wanna go! I want to beat the-" The youngest came back with an adult.
"Toshi, I'm okay now. I didn't hurt him, he hurt himself." The adult kneeled by the bow and got steaming red.
"That was MY son. You hear me? DOn't you EVER touch my son again!" The man yelled at Sho. The young boy looked absolutely horrified as he backed into Shinji.
"But, but I didn't..." He was cut off by a smack in the face and Lean sighed. "Go for it." he whispered and Kei slowly crept up behind the man and picked him up with ease throwing him about ten feet over a 7 foot high gate ACROSS the street.
All the young boys stared at him in deisbelief and he wiped his hands off as Shinji looked at him in confusion. Toshi, the youngest was awed and Sho, he looked grateful.
"Thank you!" He was adorable to Kei. He wanted to hug the little boy. However he refrained as he saw Son, the punk running for his life. Lean smiled from agross the street peeking through the gate and shrugging. Damn it, means he was still alive.
Shinji stared at Lean and then at Kei. "I don't like you." He said bluntly and Kei nodded understandingly turning and walking away, the sun would be up soon. He had to get home.Lean grabbed his hand and they headed to the apartment.
Sho Age 8:
Sho had never forgotten the man. Or his... boyfriend. But he had saved him and he knew that much. He smiled as he ran through the early morning fish market begging for something to eat. A hand appeared in front of him with a pocky stick and a plate full of some type of noodles.
He looked up at the face of a beautiful man. One he could have never forgotten. "It's... You!" Kei smiled, glad the little boy remembered him. He looked less adorable now, somehow more knowledgable. And you could tell he was living in the streets by his clothes and his skinny form.
Another boy that Kei recognized came up beside the boy. "Hello Toshi." Toshi smiled and waved, clearly not remembering him.
Sho smiled and gladly sucked on the pocky. "Thank you so much Mr. ..." He started.
"I'm Kei." Sho smiled and nodded.
"Where is your... guy." Kei stared at Sho. Guy? What gu- Oh, him.
"He left." Kei said and could see relief suddenly flow over Shos face. He was confused about that, but maybe Sho was a homophobe. Whatever it took, he guessed.
"DO you have a home?" Kei asked quietly. Shinji then came around a corner eating some type of meat on a stick. When he saw Kei he rolled his eyes.
"What do YOU want?" He asked and Kei sat up straight. Shinji was apparently the protective leader. Or stuck up, same thing. Kei smiled though, trying to be pleasant. "I was offering you all somewhere to stay."
Toshi and Sho turned to Shinji with pleading puppy dog eyes. "No" Shinji said bluntly and directly. Kei pulled out a piece of paper and wrote his address on it and sighed.
"Whatever you say Shinji." He said and shook Toshis hand with his empty hand and Shos with the other letting the address slip into his hand. Shinji nodded to him as he walked away.
Sho Age 11:
Kei didn't see Sho for 3 years. He thought he had forgotten about him. It was midnight as a small knock was heard from the door. Kei looked at it in confusion. Who would come to his apartment? At midnight?
He opened it and stared down at a small boys sitting on the floor leaning against the frame crying. He then saw blood on his lower lip and Kei hurriedly picked him up and he groaned. "I'm sorry." Sho moaned.
"For what?" Kei asked as he shut the door and layed the boy on his couch and getting an ice pack from a freezer. He kneeled by sho placing it on his swollen lip and stared into an eye, the only one that was open. "I never came."
He whispered and flinched with his only open eye. Kei smiled and pushed his hair behind his ear. "It's okay Sho... Now calm down and tell me what happened. Where's your brothers?" Kei asked quietly.
"Only Shinjis my brother. And they don't know I'm here. I got beat up by a teen mob on 24th Street. I ran away to see you..." Sho finally got out after long gulps and gasps. Kei nodded trying to understand and moved the icepack to his swollen shut eye.
Sho moaned and Kei shook his head and layed his hand lightly against the young boys cheek. "How can I reach Shinji?"
Sho grabbed at Keis pants and Kei jumped and Sho pulled out Keis cell phone. He didn't stare at the screen. He just dialed numbers and handed it to Kei. The blond took it slowly and pressed talk.
"Yo." A Teens voice. Shinji.
"Shinji? It's Kei, the guy from the school and fishmarket? You'r brother is at my house and severely wounded."
"I know where he is, I followed him."
"And you let him come?"
"Yeah, for the past few years, he hasn't been the same while I tried to keep him from you."
"Will you just get your ass in here and help him?"
"Fine, Toshis with me."
"I figured." He closed his cellphone and smiled at Sho as the door opened, and Toshi ran to Sho. Kei got up to get a new ice pack. Shinji walked behind Kei into the kitchen. Shinji had to be about 3 or 4 years older than Sho. He looked about 15, acted about 75 with a strict mother attitude.
The teen leaned against a counter. "He thinks of you as his idol." Kei stared at him as he heated up what looked like leftover spaghetti. He grabbed a new icepack, "I'm realizing that." He whispered. Shinji sighed, "Guess I better start to trust you."
Kei smiled, "that would be nice."
"I'm doing it for Sho, not you. And I have to be able to 'stand' you to 'live' with you."
"Live? Really?" Kei stared at him as they walked back to the living room. Kei leaned down and took off the watery pack and put on the new one. Sho smiled and yawned.
"Yeah. Live, the streets aren't doing so great for Toshi and Sho. Especially Sho, becauser of his problem."
Kei stared at him as Sho tried to fall asleep. "He's gay." Toshi said happily. Toshi, the youngest at maybe 9, spoke up with a boyish smile.
"Oh" Kei whispered and Toshi poked his shoulder. "Where do we sleep. It's almost morning and we prefer the dark." He said and Kei looked around.
"Shinji, take the guest bedroom over there." He Pointed to a closed door "Toshi take the mat corner." He threw a cover from the back of the cough top a place in a corner where yoga mats and tons of pillows sat. Kei closed his eyes. The two boys went their own way. Kei headed towards his own room yawning and laying down, pulling the covers over himself.
"Kids." He muttered exhausted.
PREVIEW OF CHAPTER 2:
Sho Age 14:
"KEI! WAKE UP! WE'RE LATE!" Kei moaned and opened his eyes slowly, at the growing boy. No, young man. Handsome, hot young man. Nothing could be better to Kei than waking up to Sho's most beautiful face.
"Late? For what?" He groaned and Sho giggled. "Yi-Che's wedding!" Yi-Che was the boys friend and she was getting married so young to some guy in upper Japan. The son of a doctor. Kei sighed and Sho leaned down, "It's stormy out today. All day, no problems."
Kei nodded and let Sho pull him to his feet. "So fun..." He muttered. He was the best man.
