Hey. Here's the second chapter of Dreamless. I do not own Loveless or the characters. Just the people my crazy imagination came up with.
Over the week, Rou followed me around, asking me to be his friend. He's the only one who ever talked to me. Girls didn't like me because I was quiet and Rou threatened any boy that came near me. On Friday, he started "Walking" me home, and I stopped. He turned and tried to grab my hand. I slapped him across the face.
"Leave me alone! Stop following me, and trying to protect me! I can take care of myself!" I yelled. Then I started to walk off, when Rou grabbed my wrist. "Let go!" I yelled. I yanked my wrist, and my gauze came loose. I struggled to get away from him, but he gripped my wrist tighter. The gauze wrap came off, and my scar was visible. I stopped moving and stared down at the scar. Rou took his finger, and gently traced the scar.
"Why?" he asked. I looked down.
"I didn't do it." I whispered. He picked up the gauze and wrapped it round my wrist again.
"Why won't you leave me alone?" I asked.
"Because, it's my job to protect you, Satoma-san." He replied. Giving me a warm smile. I scoffed.
"Who said?" I asked, challenging him to come up with a good answer. He was silent, his ears were twitching. Then he said
"The fighter, he's too powerful." Then I heard Soubi call my name. He stood behind Rou.
"Soubi? What are you doing here?" I asked.
"Ritsuka was getting worried, you were supposed to be home 15 minutes ago." Even though I have only lived with them for 5 months, I'm like a daughter to them. Ritsuka is like a dad, while Soubi is kind of like a mom.
"Sorry, I forgot to check the time."
"Is this your friend?" Soubi asked me, referring to Rou. Rou bowed in respect.
"I am Tokitou Rou, Satoma-san's friend." He said.
"I'm Soubi, Kuroi's guardian." Then Soubi turned to me. "We need to get home now, Kuroi. I left dinner on the stove, and Ritsuka can't cook to save his life."
I nodded and we walked home to see a very angry Ritsuka. Soubi went into the kitchen.
"Where have you been!?" We were worried sick!"(Soubi in the background: "You were worried sick.") "For all we know, you could have been kidnapped, why didn't you answer your phone?" I shrugged.
"It's in my room." I said. Soubi shouted from the kitchen.
"It's probably charging because she was texting the boy she was walking with earlier."
"Wait, not only are you late, you were with a boy!?" Ritsuka shouted.
"No, I forgot it. I don't even know if Tokitou-san has a phone."
"So that's his name." Soubi shouted again. "He was a very cute boy, if I do say so myself." He teased. I swear, Soubi is trying to get me on a 24 hour watch.
"I want to meet Tokitou-kun." Ritsuka said.
"Oh, I know, let invite him over for dinner!" Soubi exclaimed. This is irritating.
"It's not like that!" I yelled. Ritsuka said his mind was already made up, and that I was to invite him over Monday. Soubi went on about how I'm finally making friends.
"Maybe they will even get married when their older." Soubi said, happy with the thought.
"NO!" me and Ritsuka said in unison. Ritsuka went back into the living room, and I went upstairs to my room. I sat my bag by the door and looked on my bed to see Rou laying on it, reading a manga. He looked up.
"You aren't screaming or yelling at me?" he asked.
"I'm not surprised that you broke into my house." I said, then I laid on the foot of my bed.
"Why are you here?" I asked him.
"I was bored, and then I remembered that you didn't know."
"Know what?"
"That you're-." my bedroom door flung open. Ritsuka stood in my doorway, looking not so happy.
(The next few scenes are too violent for children under the age of 16.)
We come back to our scene with Soubi holding Ritsuka back, Ritsuka trying to attack Rou, and Rou standing in front of Kuroi, ready to pounce.
"Ritsuka, He is a minor." Soubi said.
"I don't care." He replied.
"They still have their ears."
"For now."
"At least we don't have to wait until Monday to invite him for dinner." Ritsuka stopped moving and threatening.
"Dinner's ready." Ritsuka said coldly, then walking back down stairs.
The rest of us followed him downstairs. Then we sat down, and started eating. Ritsuka and Soubi asked Rou questions like "What do you want to be when you grow up?" and "What is your grades like?" Dinner was going great until I noticed Soubi and Rou twitching. Soubi said he needed a word with Ritsuka. They went into the living room, and 5 minutes later, came back and sat down. Ritsuka kept glaring at Rou with suspicion. They never stopped twitching. After we ate, Rou went home, and Soubi and Ritsuka made me sit in the living room. I was expecting "The Talk", but I got something completely different.
"You can't see that boy again." Ritsuka said.
"Ritsuka-." Soubi was cut off.
"He is dangerous. Kuroi, don't talk to him, okay. I only want what's best for you."
I looked down. For some reason, I feel attached to Rou, even though I don't show it.
"Why is he dangerous?" I asked. I got no answer. "Well?"
"I think it's time for bed, Kuroi." Soubi said. I sighed and went back into my room. Rou wasn't there. I laid on my bed and thought to myself. "What are they hiding from me?"
