Pills and Love

Chapter One

Well Hello and welcome... I have not written in quite a while and felt very frustrated, as you can most likely tell by the topic of this story, and decided to put all this emotion into a FanFic... I am not sure how it is going to be, but I can't be to bad right? Anyways please continue on and enjoy the story!


Kyo Sohma stomped around the empty house looking for something, anything, which could ease the pain; to stop this knot that was tied around is heart from pulling any tighter. Quickly searching bathrooms, drawers and cabinets for anything that could successfully numb him in the least amount of time, or at least before the other occupants of the house returned that night, he was almost to the point of flipping the house.

He ran from room to room hoping to find something, anything to make his mind stop shouting at him that he was useless, no good, an deserved to die allowing everyone to get on with their happy lives and bright futures without having to think about him ever again; no, it wasn't as if he wanted to kill himself, just something to drown out every other emotion within him for a while.

Finally, running out of places to check, Kyo ran into the last bathroom that was ever rarely used hoping to find the answer to his prayers. Swinging open the door he now stood in front of the last medicine cabinet in the house; if there wasn't anything in here, he was going to have to suffer through the entire night alone with his thoughts… and this terrified him.

He slowly reached out grabbing ahold of the metal handle and gave it a gentle tug as the contents started to reveal themselves to the desperate red eyes. With a sigh of relief Kyo eyed among the clutter a small bottle with such lovely words printed upon it: "Kyo Sohma: Prescription XXXX" Yes, the cursed Cat boy was going to drown his sorrows in pills, wonderfully mind numbing pills; definitely pathetic.

Reaching out he grasped the pills in an almost tender manner as he brought them out to inspect his findings. He remembered the day he got these; he was lying in a tree when Yuki walked by saying something about him being a stupid cat. Just as he was about to make his rebuttal his body seemed to slide right off the branch as if slicked with oil and the cat came tumbling down on his wrist, fracturing it in two places. If it wasn't for that damn Rat he would have never got hurt in the first place…. But then again, if it wasn't for him he would have never gotten a hold of his temporary freedom either.

Returning to his room, Kyo popped open the bottle and poured almost half of its content down his throat. He knew it wasn't safe to take so many of anything, but when you want to escape, you want it to last. Now he had to wait, the most treacherous part of this little game; the waiting to see if or when the pills would take effect and just how far gone would he be.

As he lay on his futon, staring out the large window his thoughts start to drift off to a few of the ones that call themselves his friends. Thoru, such a sweet girl, yet he could still feel this barrier between them, as if they wanted to let the other in, but couldn't find the right way to open the door. The one person though that his mind kept drifting back to, who was part of the main reason he was doing everything humanly possible to stop thinking, was Yuki, the Rat who was supposed to be his mortal enemy for all of eternity. There was no reason for it, hell, Kyo could barely remember when it started but all he knew for certain was that he Loved Yuki and it was ripping him apart, molecule by molecule.

His chest started to feel numb, it was finally starting to work its way into his system though if only it could have worked before his thoughts had reached the beautiful, pale, violet haired boy. Tears had started to form in the corners of his eyes, how could he let one person get past his walls that have held him stable for so long? He put so many barriers up between him and everyone else for a reason, and what did the Rat do, tears them all down before he could see it coming. Maybe he should just suck it up and finish the rest of the bottle and let them get on with their lives…

Sadly, this had been the most appealing thought that crossed his mind all day. He started to reach his hand back for the already half empty pill bottle when he suddenly felt this weight on his chest, cutting off his air supply and a haze of tears and pills clouded his weary gaze.

"Wow," He thought, feeling his entire body melt into the futon as peace washed over his being. "Dying was easier than I thought…"

With the thought of death being his last, Kyo Sohma drifted off into the peaceful night…
