Fragility 02/04/05/ 12:05AM
Hello everyone and welcome to my….thirteenth story? Technically, it's farther up in the numbers than that, but I'm going by what's posted right now, only. May the goddesses shine some luck and fortune down upon you for reading this! Be forewarned though, no grammar or spelling check has been used on this story! Also, don't expect an update very soon. I have other stories to work on. I'm lucky to even be putting this up right now, but thanks to my mom letting me type on her computer, I can! Okay, I'm shutting up now.
Disclaimer: Gah! I don't Pretear, okay? You happy now? But guess what? That's right. I have OC's in this story, too! So, I own the Aunt Shira, Uncle Katoko and their son, her cousin Chogan. Not to mention the sluts, Valyre Hilton, Shika Partin, and Chia Dosterman (I have no clue where their names came from). Oh, and the song at the bottom, it's mine too. Ask before using my OC's, or my song!
Full Summary: ((AU, OC, OOC Darkest ficcy I've ever written!)) Himeno's dad died in a car accident. Her stepmother didn't want to care for her, so her stepmother sent her to live with her blood relatives from her real mother's side of the family; her evil Aunt Shira, Uncle Katoko and their son, her cousin Chogan. They started abusing Himeno the very next day after she moved in. Can these two new transfer students, and their brothers, help Himeno out of this hell hole? Or will Himeno fall prey to the drugs and friends she come to love?
Fragility:
Chapter One
Beep, beep, beep, bee-
Himeno slammed her hand down on her enemy known as the alarm clock. It always woke her from her peace, to bring her back to reality, every morning bright and early, whether it was a school day or not.
Himeno slowly crawled out of bed, winching lightly when a pain shot through her entire body. It was then that she remembered what had happened the night before.
(Flashback)
"Himeno, where have you been?" A woman that had light brown hair and looked around thirty years old yelled out.
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to be late, but it was my turn to help clean up the classroom today. I tried to hurry so I could get to the subway on time, but I couldn't. I'm sorry. It won't happen again!"
"You're damn right it won't happen again!" The lady yelled. "Just to make sure, I'm going to show you what will happen if there is a next time, only I won't go as easy on you as I am now!" The lady then preceded to kick, hit and throw Himeno about the room, ignoring the cries from the young girl.
(End Flashback)
Himeno sighed. Ever since her father had died in the car accident, and her stepmother sent her away to live with blood relatives, she had been beaten over every little thing. She had only met her Aunt Shira and Uncle Katoko once before, and that was at her mothers funeral. They said that they were there to pay their respects to their sister and brother-in-law, but not once did they seem sad. Not one tear fell from their eyes, the entire time they were there.
'I didn't like them then, and I hate them now.'
Himeno took her pajamas off and limped over to her full-length mirror, looking her bandaged body up and down, assessing the damage inflicted on her body from the day before. She had bruises and cuts on her legs, and stomach; but what bothered her most was the gash in her side and her arm. Although she couldn't see them from where she had bandaged them up once she was able to get inside her room the night before, she remembered that they were bad. After all, it wasn't little pieces of glass that were protruding her body when she landed on the glass coffee table and shattered it. Plus, the sign of blood seeping through the bandages on her side and arm were proof that they weren't minor.
Himeno limped over to her dresser and grabbed a baggy pair of black cargo capri's, and a black long sleeved shirt that had 'What starts with F and ends with Uck?' on the front, and 'Fire Truck' on the back. Along with a bra and panties.
Himeno then limped to her in-room bathroom, and started taking the bandages off her body. She grabbed her first aid kit and took out some antiseptics and fresh bandages. She then proceeded to clean her wounds. She didn't winch when the antiseptics touched her skin, she was used to the burning feeling. It actually felt good to her to know that she could be the one inflicting pain on herself for once.
After she finished tending to her wounds, she put her clothes on.
Himeno grabbed her bag and quietly limped down the stairs to the living room and out the door.
'I'm so glad I got out of the house without running into my aunt or uncle.' Himeno thought to herself as she walked off down the road as best she could, so no one would she her limp.
Himeno sighed. She was sitting in the back of the classroom trying to avoid contact with all the other students while they all waited for the teacher to enter the classroom.
Himeno stared lazily out the window, trying to ignore all the stares she was receiving from all the other students, and the things they were saying about her. Of course though, why wouldn't people stare or talk about you when it's around eighty degrees outside, and you're wearing pants and a long sleeved shirt. That is abnormal.
All the students got in their seats and faced the front of the classroom when the teacher walked in.
"Good morning class."
"Good morning teacher."
"Before when begin, I would like to introduce some new students that have just moved here from Tokyo." The teacher motioned for the new students to enter. "Class, this is Hayate Takashi and Go Takashi. Boys, would please tell us a little bit about yourselves? Afterwards, take a seat wherever you like."
"Hi, my name's Go Takashi, I just moved here from Tokyo, I'm sixteen, and I love just about anything. Go said smiling, and then took a seat in the back, two seats over from Himeno. He smiled at her when he sat down, but she disregarded him and started staring out the window again.
"My name's Hayate Takashi, I'm seventeen, and I like martial arts." Hayate said blandly, and then like Go, he too took a seat in the back, except, his seat was directly beside Himeno's. He ignored her presence, and she ignored his.
"Class, since they are new here, and things might have been different at their old school, I want you to be nice and help them out if they ask you any questions. Understood?"
"Yes teacher."
"Okay, now would you all please take your books out and turn to page two hundred and twenty?"
Himeno was gathering her things to head to her next class when she noticed that one of the two new guys was walking over to her. She acted like she didn't see him and continued to collect her things.
"Um, excuse me, but, well, do you think you could help me out? I don't know where my next classroom is." Go said.
Himeno sighed and turned to face him, a bored look on her face.
"Let me see your schedule." Himeno commanded, holding her hand out.
Go place his schedule in her hand and she skimmed over it. 'Oh shit! His classes are the same as mine!' Himeno handed him his schedule back.
"Your schedule is the same as mine. You can follow me to our classes today, but you better learn your way around the school fast, because you can't tomorrow." Himeno said coldly and then grabbed the last of her things, shoved them in her bag and walked off, not waiting for Go.
Himeno forced back a sigh when she realized that not only was one of the new guys following her, but the other one as well. Of course, they did have the same last name so apparently they were brothers or something. So it figured that even though only one asked her, two would follow.
The first half of the day went by rather fast, in Himeno's opinion. It was already lunchtime, even though it seemed like it should still be early morning. Himeno walked out of the classroom, the two guys still following her. She hadn't said a word to them the entire time, and they hadn't spoken to her either. Although, she had heard them talk amongst themselves.
"Do you need me to show you where your lockers are, or can you find them yourselves?" Go and Hayate stared at her; she had actually spoken to them!
"Well…" Go said smiling slightly.
"Okay, come on, let me go to my locker, and then I'll help you find yours." Himeno was putting her stuff her locker, and they were looking around at the other lockers to see if one of them had their number.
"Hey, here is mine!" Go said. His was right across the hallway from Himeno's.
"Yeah, and here is mine." Hayate said. His was just two lockers down from Himeno's.
"Good, you've found them, now hurry so we can get to the cafeteria." Himeno said, soundly slightly annoyed.
After lunch was over the rest of the school day just whizzed by like the morning had. Hayate and Go had followed Himeno around the whole school day, thoroughly pissing her off, even though she showed no signs of it. Himeno had thought that since she was being rude to them, they would find someone else to show them to their classes and such, but no, they followed her. She had, however, successfully dodged all questions they had asked her about why she was dressed the way she as, and she thanked the gods and goddesses for that. She had occasionally made them wait for her to 'go pee' as she had said to them, when she was really going to check on her bandages. They needed to be changed, but she couldn't change them in school. All her supplies were at the house she stayed at.
Himeno was walking out of the school when somebody ran up to her and grabbed her left arm, the injured one. She bit her tongue to keep from hissing out in pain. She turned to face her soon to be victim and saw that it was Go. She forced back a growl, and scowled.
"Do you mind removing your hand from my arm?" Himeno hissed. Even though he wasn't squeezing her arm, it still hurt like hell!
Go looked a bit shocked, he wasn't doing anything to her, he wasn't even squeezing her arm, so what was the big deal?
"Yeah, sure. Sorry." Go apologized.
After a moment of silence, Himeno got pissed and barked out, "You obviously wanted something, so spit it out, I haven't got all day!"
"Yeah, sorry, I was just wondering if you could help me and Hayate out. Since we just moved here two days ago, we're still not very familiar with this place, so could you help us find our way to the subway?"
Himeno sighed. Today just wasn't her day, was it? Why couldn't they ask one of the other students, like Valyre Hilton? Most of the guys in the school loved her, no scratch that, all of the guys in the school loved her. She was the slut of the school, her and her posse. Yeah, it wasn't just Valyre, there was also Shika Partin, and Chia Dosterman. Normally her and Valyre had a spout before they even entered the school, but it seemed that the three girls had been absent all day. No doubt they were in the red light district. Even if they are underage, it doesn't really matter to a guy who's looking a fuck partner. Just as long as they know what they're doing, and can do it good, that's all that matters to the average guy who goes there.
"Fine, follow me." Himeno said and walked off, the two trailing behind her.
It didn't take them long to get to the subway. The train car that Himeno always took was there, and some people were boarding it. She walked over to the directory, and Go started looking over it for the one they needed to board.
"It looks like this one here," Go said, pointing to the one that Himeno was going to board, "Is the one we need to take."
"That's the one I'm taking. So you guys live in Hiroshima, too?" Himeno voiced her thought out loud.
"Yeah, our father got a job transfer to there." Go replied.
"Oh. I live there with my Aunt Shira and Uncle Katoko." Himeno didn't really know why she was telling them that, there really was no point of it.
"You don't live with your parents?" Hayate asked, rather surprised by that. Did her parents not want her, or were they dead or something…?
"No, I don't." Himeno wasn't fixing to tell them her parents were dead, she wasn't going to open up the doors that kept that part of her memory locked up tight.
Go and Hayate were a bit mad that she didn't tell them why, but they didn't press the subject. They had a feeling she wasn't fixing to tell them about her past whether they tried to force it out of her, or said pretty please with a cherry on top.
The ride to Hiroshima from Kobe was a quiet one, except for the fact that every now and then they could hear Himeno singing almost silently with no music. Hayate concentrated on listening to her, and he was certain he had never heard that song before.
"Lost and confused
With nowhere to go
I feel so abused
Don't try to save me from the eternal darkness
I'm craving for…"
Go was concentrating on listening to her singing now, and he gave Hayate a strange look. Apparently, he hadn't heard the song before either.
"I reach for the knife
Shining like a beacon in the night
And just before the deed is done
You come through the door…
You just want to hurt me some more
Lost and confused
With nowhere to go
I feel so abused
Don't try to save me from the eternal darkness
I'm craving for…
I feel the pain again
It's same feeling I get from you
Like all those times you hurt me before
Except, this time, I'm the one causing the pain
And it feels so good…
Lost and confused
With nowhere to go
I feel so abused
Don't try to save me from the eternal darkness
I'm craving for…
The blood that bonds us
I wish I could drain it all away
I would gladly give my life away…
But that's what you want
And I'm not gonna grant your wish
'Cause if I have to suffer
I might as well survive
'Cause if I have to suffer
At least I know it's because you're suffering too"
Himeno sighed. That was one of the songs she wrote. It wasn't very good, but when she wrote it, she wasn't writing it for an actual reason, no, she just wrote her feelings down that way, in the way of a song. Most of the time, they made no sense whatsoever, except to her of course. The last few lines of it were strange to her though, because her Aunt and Uncle most certainly weren't suffering with her. She didn't give it a title; because she didn't feel the need to, very few of her 'songs' actually had a title. Her favourite did, however, and she titled it "Fragility".
Himeno just then noticed that she as receiving stares from two certain people, Go and Hayate. She turned sharply to face them, and instantly regretted it. She almost doubled over from the pain that shot through her entire body at once; the gash in her side was the cause of it.
'Damn it! It's probably bleeding like crazy now!'
Hayate and Go must have noticed the sudden look of pain on her face and questioned her.
"Himeno, are you okay?" Himeno cursed inside her head for being such an idiot. She had let her mask slip out of place and they saw her pain.
Replacing her mask, Himeno replied coldly, "I'm fine."
They both cast her a wary look, and then the cloak of silence fell over them all.
Well, there's chapter one :Is proud: I like it. What do you think of it? If you feel the inclination, let me know in a review. It would be great, just don't flame me. Why, you ask? Well, because I go from 'wha…?' to 'I think I'm going to cry!' to 'what the hell!' to 'fuck it all!' in 0.5 seconds. And it really hurts my feelings. That's right, me the insensitive bastard has feelings. Just because I'm devoid of emotions most of the time, doesn't mean I don't have any at all.
Oh and a little note if for readers: Subwha? A subway you say? I've never even been within five hundred miles of one! Not that I know of, anyway. So, don't expect too much 'perfection' in that department from me. Yeah, and if you're wondering why I have them going to school in Kobe, when there are schools in Hiroshima, the answer is, I have no fucking clue! I just wanted to, so I did. It's my fucking story; so what the fuck does it matter for anyway! Also, for a random note Kobe, Yokohama, Naramata, Osaka, and Makai are the names of my Animal Crossing towns! Don't you just love AC!
