Misery- by Blue Silhouette

Ran sat in the living room, TV remote control in hand. He flicked through the channels.
Nothing on.
It was nearly midnight.
No missions, no one had got themselves in trouble, and no one else it the house was awake.
Ran sighed and lay on the couch, staring at the cracks in the ceiling.
Aya, I wish you were awake, he thought to himself, there's so much I want to tell you, but you're not here to listen. You're not here at all.
// Troubled, Ran? //
Ran jumped, and instinctively reached for his katana. // Schwarz! What do you want, Schuldig?! //
A chuckle sounded from the shadows. // Oh, nothing. Your thoughts are fun to read, that's all. //
// Why are you here, and how did you get in? //
Schuldig stepped out of the shadows and walked towards Ran, who glared at him.
"How would you feel if I told you I could communicate with your sister, even as she sleeps?"
Ran stiffened. Aya? He's spoken to Aya-chan?
"Oh yes, Ran, I have spoken to her. She has many things to say, as most teenage girls do."
"You...you stay away from her!!"
"Shh! You'll wake everyone up," Schuldig said calmly, "Anyway, she asked me why her oniisan didn't push her out of the way of the car that put her in the state she's in now."
"What did you tell her?"
"The truth. I told her I didn't know."
"Why are you here?" Ran said slowly.
Schuldig smirked, "I came to see if you wanted me to tell Aya anything from you, to see if you wanted me to pass on any messages."
"Stay away from her, Schuldig! I'm warning you!"
The German chuckled again, and was gone.
Ran lay back on the couch and again stared at the ceiling. Why didn't I push Aya out of they way? he asked himself, I'll never forgive myself if she hates me for it.
"Ran? Ran, are you still up?"
Ran looked in the direction of the voice. It was Yohji.
"Hn."
Yohji walked sown the stairs, lit cigarette in hand. "What's got you so worked up that you can't sleep?" he questioned, taking a long drag on the cigarette.
"My sister. I can't get her off my mind."
"Me neither," the playboy said jokingly.
Ran glared at him, "Hentai!"
"Hey, just kidding! If I had a sister in a coma, I'd be worried and stressed too. Except that you're more stressed than usual. What happened?"
Ran opened his mouth to tell Yohji all of what had just happened, to have someone to talk to about everything, but closed it again and shook his head.
There was silence. But it was short-lived when Ran said, annoyed, "Kudou, you're dropping ash on the carpet."
Yohji sighed. "Dammit, Ran! For once I think we're getting along okay, and then you get shitty at the slightest thing! I'm going back to bed."
Ran was left in solitude again, and once again went back to thinking about his sister. If the truth be told, what Schuldig had said was haunting him. He fell into a restless sleep.

You know the drill, R+R please, if you want me to continue!!
