Yes I know this one didn't end first in the poll but because I had it on the computer I decided to upload it anyway. I still ahve some others but they need a bit editing. I'll post them sometime I think^^

hope you'll like it^^

Jirou curled up under a three somewhere he knew everyone could find him. He would wake up if someone approached. He didn't sleep as fast as others thought he did. He woke up often. He however could sleep quite peacefully if someone was there. He closed his eyes and drifted to sleep.

The house seemed strange in the eyes of the little boy.

The boy looked around at places his bed had stood he looked at the place his bed used to stand. He traced a square forming spot on the wall somewhere once a painting hung. This all confused him. He didn't understand at all. He curled up on a spot where the couch once stood and he fell asleep trying to forget the weird nightmare.

The boy's parents were both busy packing the last few things. They were moving. They would move around the world a lot. They had lived here for a few years now. They usually didn't have their kid around during this sort of hectic days. They usually brought him to his aunt but they didn't have that opportunity this time.

Jirou shifted slightly in his sleep and twirled his hand around Yuuta's leg.

Yuuta who came just walking by looked slightly annoyed but decided not to go away or wake up their sleepyhead.

The boy woke up in a completely deserted house. "Mommy?" He tried. He got no response. "Daddy?" He said on the verge of tears. He started running around the house as fast as his legs could carry him. He cried for his parents but no one heard him. He sat down and wrapped his arms around his legs. He started rocking himself back and forth until he fell asleep again.

The parents of the boy had forgotten their son was at the house. They usually didn't pick him up after they moved as well.

The aunt of the boy would bring him to his parents.

His parents would forget him again not even ten minutes after he arrived.

The boy had nannies ever since he was young.

His parents hardly ever even talked to him.

He didn't find it strange his parents were busy. He however felt completely hollow now they had forgotten him at the house. He didn't understand they would move without telling or taking him.

Jirou shifted again pulling at Yuuta's leg.

Yuuta sighed but didn't do anything about it.

"Boy."

The young boy shifted but didn't wake.

"Yow gaki wake up."

"Ryou don't do that."

The young boy blinked. He was alert a little after. "Who are you?" He said scared.

"I'm Shuusuke. That's Ryou and that's Jackel."

"Why are you here?" Jirou said still frightened.

Ryou wanted to answer but Shuusuke stopped him.

"What's your name?"

"Akatugawa Jirou." The boy answered.

"Didn't you move?" Jackel asked.

Jirou pulled his legs in front of his face again.

Shuusuke opened his eyes. "Where are your parents?"

"I don't know." Jirou answered in a small voice.

"Did you have a babysitter or friend nearby?" Shuusuke then asked.

Jirou nodded.

"Come we'll walk you there." Shuusuke said helping Jirou up.

The female in her late forties shook her head. "They forgot things often but this is the worst thing they forgot so far." She started ranting about things the parents had forgotten so far.

Shuusuke smiled politely. "Do you know where we can reach then? It would help a great deal. A new address is also fine."

"There you ask me something." The woman sighed. "They usually cut all ties when the move. When they came here they didn't have any contacts but his aunt." She then started talking about how that was something weird.

"Do you know where we could reach her?"

"She died a few weeks back. Weak heart. I say it's because of all the smoking…"

"Thank you. Do you know someone who might be able to help us?"

"No not really." She said and for once said didn't start blabbering.

Shuusuke could almost jump in joy that she stopped talking. He thought adults so stupid. "Thank you anyway." He said politely as he turned around. "Could you do us one favor and bring him to a police station and ask them to search for his parents?"

"I'm sorry I'm really busy at the moment but I'm sure you can. You're such a responsible little boy." She started talking about how she wished her son was like that.

Shuusuke nodded.

Jirou hadn't spoken at all during all the time he just stared at everything with glazy eyes. He vaguely remembered there were times they had almost forgotten him before. He didn't know that much about his parents they never were there for him.

"Shuusuke, why did you stop?"

Shuusuke looked a far way to the front. He didn't want to and couldn't go to a police station. He knew the risk of being found. "Can you do this without me?"

Ryou sighed. "Do you think they'll listen to us?"

Shuusuke knew they wouldn't.

"It's fine." Jirou said suddenly. "I don't need to go back."

"Where would you go to then?" Shuusuke asked.

"I'll take care of myself." Jirou said.

"That's rather harsh." Jackel said looking at the boy.

"I'll manage." Jirou answered.

"You can come with us then." Shuusuke said. "Together is more fun than alone anyway."

Jirou didn't know why but he just nodded. He had long since realized he wouldn't find his parents and even if he would they would forget him again. He would end up here anyway. He didn't see the point in asking for his parents. He didn't need them. He realized it would be difficult but he would manage. He had just trusted the people who seemed to care.

Jirou had not once regretted his decision. He had liked living with the numbers. He felt like he had a family for the first time, a weird twisted family, but a family none the less.

hope you liked it. Reviews are still very much appreciated^^
