Summary: Kogou Haato expected to live a full life of physical pain, emotional pain, and even more pain. But someone came along, promising him a new life. Emotional Yaoi more then Sexual Yaoi!
First off:
I would like to thank animefanxNaiomix, KeraJeir, Ryujioftheshadowninja and CurlyBear! These people were my frist readers on FanFic and I really want to give a thanks to them! Ok and this story, I put my heart and soul into, kinda as a thank you ( in a dark and dreary way). So just to say it again, Thanks!
Chapter one:
Sapphire.
Kogou Haato awoke to the sound of soft chirping birds and golden rays of sunlight that pierced the thin curtains that rested against the window. He turned over, and grumbled a little, before standing up and walking into the small bathroom, adjacent from the small bedroom. The clock read 7:30 AM.
Kogou Haato is a fifteen year old tenth grader. He goes to Kyoto High, a prominent school in Kyoto. He possesses raven colored hair, and deep forest luscious green eyes. He was a skill Archer, and was defiantly eligible for the school's archery team, but other problems made it impossible for this to happen.
Kogou walked into the bathroom, small cramped room with only a sink, shower and a toilet. He looked into a mirror and gave a weak smile.
"Another day." Kogou said running hot water and turning the knob, making the water come from the top instead of the bottom.
Kogou took off his shirt and shuddered. The cold air in the room hurt his bruise that covered his chest. He gently touched a new bruise that covered a large portion of his right side.
It was a mixture of black and blue that was changing into a deep purple. He shed a single tear as the pain rippled up his body, shaking his head. Never before had his father, his foster father, hurt him so much. But that was expected from a pretty powerful Drug Lord. His step father always said "Fear is the easiest path to power".
He stepped into the shower, and took a few deep breaths. The water was warm and cooling. It made him feel safe, a feeling he only felt when he spent the night at Ginji's house.
He waited a few moments before stepping out. He dried off, slipped on a tee shirt, boxers, jeans, and his best pair of tennis shoes ( a simple pair that had a hole on the bottom). He tiptoed down the hall and stopped.
On the couch, knocked out, was his father, snoring loudly. Kogou winced as he took a step, the floor making a squeaking sound.
His step father turned a mumbled a few words before going to sleep.
Kogou moved across the floor carfully and stopped at the door. Quietly, he slipped out of the door, and locked it back.
He took a deep breath. He could now walk normally since he was out of the presence of his father.
Kogou ran out of the apartment building, and down the street. It was now 8:00. If he hurried, he might be able to get in some extra practice before school.
He ran about five miles and stopped at a large stone building that took up a whole block. It was the so well know Kiyoto High that he attended. In now way, would his ruthless father pay for this school. If it wasn't for his intelligence, he would be back at home doing…
Kogou shuddered, he didn't even want to remember those memories. He would have enough bad memories when he was old to overcome any good memories he would even have. Why not enjoy the good ones now?
He walked into the school, and felt a burst a cool air. He shuddered again. His thin tee was not the best thing to wear when you have a large bruise. Every single feeling made him hurt.
He walked down the hall and took a right. He walked twelve feet and turned into the archery changing room.
Archery was not a big sport at Kiyoto High. The biggest one was soccer, but he wasn't a real fan of that.
He stood and took a breath. Standing there was Kyo Shiru (If you read Brand New World, he is a evil person or is he….).
Kyo was a tall man with black bangs in the front and black hair in the back. He was a eleven grader who was the head of the Seniors History class, one of the two honors classes. Kyo was also the captain of the Archery Team.
Kyo smiled.
"Hello Kogou." He said with a small smile. He picked up his bow which was made a polished oak wood.
"You are here to practice I'm guessing?" Kyo said, picking up his quiver.
"Yes." Kogou said as he placed on his own practice kimono. His was a rented one from the school.
"I'm curious. You aren't on the team, but you are an excellent archer. You are better then me. Why do you not join?" Kyo asked, him and Kogou stepping outside.
The room was large and held many bulls eyes. It had a wodden floor, which was about ten feet away from the closest target. If you wanted to hit from a longer distance all you had to do would to step back.
"I'm……I don't have the time for a club." He said. It was partially a lie. His father made him do many things that he didn't want to do…many things that he could never repent for. But also, most of the time he was bored out of his mind!
"I understand." Kyo said as he loaded an arrow, pulled it back and took a shot. IT soared and struck and inch from the eye.
"You put to much tension on the strings. Pull it about an inch less then that." Kogou said, demonstrating. The arrow struck dead in the center.
"Like that." Kogou said, looking at Kyo, nor a smile on his face. Just a person helping another archer.
"I see." Kyo said.
They continued practice in silence, a thing, Kogou never had.
The day went pretty well. His closest friends, Ginji, Sakura and a boy named Touzoku had all the classes together (Math, Study Hall, Study Hall, Drama, English and PE). Right now, they were standing outside barely listening to Mr. Goh, the PE teacher.
"So have you done anything interesting with your power, Kogou?" Touzou asked out of the corner of his mouth.
"You know I don't have much ability." Kogou said with a cold glance. Sure he was an Elemetalist, but he was a mediocre at best one.
"Well, it might take some time." Sakura said fiddling with her pink scarf.
"Yep." Ginji said with a nod.
"Okay everyone. Were going to start our run! Seniors in the front, Freshmen in the back! It's a five mile jog so you better keep up! If you don't, that slacker will owe me fifty chin ups!" Mr. Goh said with a gruff voice.
Everyone groaned as they lined up. They were only like four seniors who had PE this period, but they were the snottiest ones of the bunch.
"Lets' start!" Mr. Goh starting the run.
Sakura, Ginji, Touzoku and Kogou ran in silence for about one mile before the started talking. They talked about really nothing.
This would have been a good day, one of the most peaceful in a while. But, fate always played a cruel trick on him.
Kogou collapsed to the ground, gabbing his side. The bruise on his rib was hurting more now, like someone had stabbed it and made it hurt.
"Kogou, What's wrong?" Sakura asked as she looked back at him.
He clenched his fist.
"Not now." He thought.
Then, something moist filled his hand. He glanced down at his shirt and realized he was bleeding.
He covered it up more. He needed to get them away. If they found out…then he would be ruined.
"I'm fine." He said with a lying smile as he looked up at Sakura.
"Just a cramp." He said, standing up to show them he was fine. It took a lot of effort for him to just hold on to consciousness. It hurt so much…more then ever before.
"Let me heal it." Touzoku said, walking over to him.
Kogou took a step back.
"No you go ahead. Mr. Goh will come looking for us soon." He said, with another smile.
"Don't worry. Ill catch up with you in about five minutes." Kogou said.
Ginji nodded.
"Lets go." Touzoku said suspiciously. Something wasn't right about this situation.
They gave one last glance back before walking off.
Kogou sighed.
"There gone." He said, against a stone wall. He just waited for the pain to go away. Waited for the tears to dry. But he knew that no matter what, he would always be stuck with this pain. Even if he was able to heal himself right now. The pain will always linger in the corner of his mind.
He heard rustling in the bush to his right.
Kogou looked and there stood the only senior that he truly hated. Ban Midou.
"What…what do you want…' Kogou said as he pushed off of the wall. He didn't want Ban to see him in pain.
Ban looked at him with silent eyes. His blue orbs piercing into Kogou's soul. Even though Kogou hated him, it just seemed so right now. So right when ever Kogou looked at him.
"Well?' Kogou said more confidently.
Ban said nothing except took a step forward.
Then a rush of pain hit Kogou's body. It centered from the bruise and rippled all over, sending him mind and senses over the edge. His legs buckled and he collapsed, the last thing him seeing was Ban's sapphire eyes. Those pure blue, gentle eyes.
