Sorry if this story is lame. Characters may be out of character a lot. Don't blame me at all for that okay. Not my fault if they can't always be in character. Blame my editor.

PLEASE REVIEW. I need reviews to help me continue to write it.

Shuichi was heading home from work. Usual time, usual place. Everyday after midnight he would head home to get what little sleep he could. On his way home everyday he gets beat up by the same guy.

Life sucks. Today is going to be a bad day. Just like every god damn day. Man I seriously thought that I could actually make it home without any problems.

Shuichi got slammed into the wall as a tall brute went to him.

"This is starting to get boring. Fight back for once you pansy."

Shuichi bite the closest object (which happened to be an arm) and took off running. Not like that would help. He knew the brute would catch up. He always did.

The brute caught up and punched Shuichi in the back. He landed with a thump then was picked up and again slammed into the wall. The brute grabbed his neck.

"So you do have some fight in you after all, well let's see how far that lasts."

He started to punch Shuichi until he was satisfied that he had no more energy left in him. The brute always liked to pick on people smaller than him he just liked to pick on Shuichi a lot more. He left Shuichi there lying in the ally not caring what happened.

Shuichi would have to explain again to his boss why he was covered in bruises, if the boss noticed. Oh well think of that later and just get home.

His home was a small beat up apartment. When he reached the age of 18 his parents packed his things and said get out. That was it. They didn't care if he had a place to stay or if he had any money.

Most of the people who lived in the other apartments attached to his were drug dealers or even single moms who can't afford anything better.

This sorry place for a home had holes in the walls, cockroaches everywhere, busted sink, no 'normal' running water Shudders at the thought of what he found in his water last time (how can anyone say that black drinking water is normal), water damaged roof, window completely gone (need to really get a new window), and various other things wrong. Oh plus no electricity (sucks now I can't watch my CARTOONS!!!!)

The sad part was he could still barely pay for the apartment and food. His salary sucked, all he was getting paid was $6 an hour. Although what can you do when your job is at the carnival being forced to dress as a dog and taking care of little kids. shudders that evil kid keeps kicking me in the knee.

Man life sucks.

He finally got home. Went to the bathroom and grabbed what ever gaze he had to treat his injuries. Damn it there are no more medical supplies left. Grrr. Man life really sucks now.

He left the room and went into his kitchen slash living room slash bedroom. Great even the food is now infested with those creepy crawlers. Where do they all come from?

Swash!!shudder Great I think I just lost my appetite. That was one big gross looking spider. Now I have its guts on my shoes. Eww. I'm not in the mood for this all I want to do is go to sleep and eat something warm for once. He looked in his barely working fridge. Great nothing warm other than ice cream.

Might as well just sleep the night away. It was heck of a lot better when Hiro didn't have to leave. Now I'm stuck here with a dead end job and a lousy apartment. Can my life get any worse?

Jump. CRASH. Great now the bed broke. Oh well better than sleeping on the floor. I wish I could go back to the way things were when the band actually didn't suck. When I didn't get thrown out of the house. When Hiro was here.

When I didn't have to worry about stray cats climbing in my window and sleeping in my bed. Throw. That cat seems to think that I can afford to pay for it's food and mine. Plus it decides to claw at everything in my house.

Shuichi finally managed to get some sleep before his brand new alarm clock woke him up.

He woke up to a face full of black fur. Pushed the cat off of him and got stared at by green eyes. This cat was always lively and always fell asleep on Shuichi's chest. Every day he would push the cat off and the cat would meow for food that he couldn't afford to give the cat, but would. Damn him for caring too much.

Meow

There she goes demanding food.

MEow.

Of course I can't afford to give it to her so I just push her again.

MEOw.

Everyday routine. The meows get louder and then I'll feed her.

MEOW.

"Alright I'll see what I have to feed you today."

He found some saltine crackers that were safe from the creepy crawlers.

"There you go. Great I need to go shopping. That is if I can afford it."

Nothing left in the house. No money in the kiddy. Looks like no food for 3 days. Great. Might as well get some sleep.

Man I had this idea but I couldn't get it started. I know it has a crappy beginning but hopefully it will get better.

Please review and tell me any ideas you can think of that might get the flow going for me and this story.

Thank you to all those who review or at least read it.
