lOST here! I'm typing this chapter for you guys, ok? Just watch all the spelling errors and everything disappear! I am magic!
Anyway… I did the research for all the mental disorders. If we accidentally got some wrong information or you see a part where they're acting too sane or something please tell us. We shall fix it.
Disclaimer: We don't own squat. Well… anything from Gravitation or Shaman King anyway. We own the other characters.
Chapter two: The New Girl
The car pulled up to the white washed building. The man helped a young girl out. She was in a straight jacket, confining her from moving to grab the knife hidden in the band of her pants.
K, Shuichi, Fujisaki, Ryuichi, and Ren, as well as a few others from Gravitation Mental Hospital sat in the group therapy room.
"Okay," the shrink began. "Hiro, go first today."
"Alright" Hiro said all too quickly. "You see what I think my problem is, is that I'm always so lonely when nobody's around and when I'm with Shuichi I'm happy and I love attention from Shuichi. I love-"
"Don't even think about it bitch, or I'll let K here blow your fucking brains out." Yuki said calmly putting his arm around Shuichi.
"Is my brother afraid of losing his boy toy?" said a dark haired man who looked exactly like Yuki.
"Tatsuha!" Yuki growled. "He's my boyfriend." he emphasized the last bit so Tatsuha might remember this time.
"Shuichi why put up with that jackass? I'm MUCH better!" Tatsuha said.
"HEY!" Hiro shouted above the noise. "Pay attention to me!" he begged.
A knock at the door silenced them all.
"Must be the new girl." The shrink said.
"What new girl, Kosuke?" Ren asked, panicking.
"Kaiya" Kosuke greeted as he opened the door.
The girl was covered head to toe in black: a black long sleeved shirt with batman on the front, black jeans, and black converse tennis shoes (A/N lOST: This is the character based off of Phoenix. Mine hasn't been introduced yet.).
"Kaiya?" Kosuke asked.
"What?" She asked.
"Why don't you sit next to Hiro and Yuki?" He asked, motioning to the empty seat.
"Hell no." She said.
"Sit your ass down, or I'll have K shoot you." Kosuke threatened.
"Fine. Whatever." Kaiya said, sitting down.
"Hi! I'm Hiro!" The guy next to her said.
"Hiro, since you're so enthusiastic why don't you start us off?" Kosuke asked.
"Ok!" Hiro said loudly, making sure he got everyone's attention. "I'm Nakano Hiro and I'm Histrionic." He all of a sudden got all weepy. "I seek attention from other people. Yes, you might think: Is that so wrong? But staying by me for too long might be lethal. You were right to want to stay away!" Kosuke sighed.
"He tends to exaggerate." He said. "He just likes the attention."
"I'm next." Tatsuha interrupted. "I'm Uesugi Tatsuha. I don't have any problems. I'm perfect." Kosuke sighed again.
"Tatsuha is a Narcissist. He's obsessed with himself." He shook his head at Tatsuha, who was now looking at himself in a hand mirror.
"Yo! Name's K. I'm… trigger happy. Anti-social disorder is what they call it (A/N lOST: I hate people who misuse the word anti-social. Look it up. It's a mental disorder.). So what if I don't care what happens to other people? Say something to me and I'll shoot you punk."
"I-I'm Fujisaki… Suguru Fujisaki." He stopped mid-sentence. "Don't move." He said, slowly. "There's a bloodsucking hamster on your head."
"There is!" shrieked Ren. He gazed over at Kaiya, but saw no trace of the bloodthirsty animal of which he spoke of. "You liar…" he muttered. "I knew you were just trying to scare me. You always try to…" He continued muttering to himself.
"Fujisaki sees things that aren't really there. You can't blame him Ren." Kosuke said, reassuringly. "He's got Schizophrenia." Ren narrowed his eyes suspiciously, but said nothing.
"I'm Tao Ren" He said, finally, realizing it was his turn. "I'm a little… paranoid." Fujisaki scratched his head making Ren flinch in the seat next to him. "And I have," Ryuichi sneezed, causing Ren to practically jump out of his seat. "Panic Disorder… or so they tell me." It was silent.
"Daisuke." Kosuke cooed. (A/N lOST: This is my character!)
"Gakkuri Daisuke." She sighed, her expression not changing a bit. "I'm a schizoid. I prefer to be alone and I can't express emotions." She stared at Kaiya through half-open eyes. Then she leaned back even more in her chair and continued to stare at the wall, signaling that she was done.
"Sakura Rei." The girl next to Daisuke began. "I'm bulimic…" She trailed off, then shrugged and started talking to Daisuke, or rather chattering on and on while Daisuke ignored her.
"Sakuma Ryuichi! And this is Kumagoro!" the toddler-like one cheered happily. "Let's be best friends!" He smiled innocently.
Kaiya looked at him in disgust. Kosuke chuckled slightly. "You have to excuse Ryuichi he has multiple personalities. Today he's the child-like version of himself; later he might be a bad ass vocalist… who knows?"
"Charming." Kaiya said sarcastically.
"Ok Shuichi, you're up." Kosuke said.
"Shindou Shuichi he declared while picking at his clothes. He seemed lost. "I'm insane, that's what they say. I don't understand it. I'm fine!" He gave her a half-hearted smile.
The blonde next to him put his arm around him.
"Yuki." He began. "Yuki Eiri. I have borderline and I'm dependent, only on Shuichi, who's MINE! If you touch my Shuichi I'll kick your ass bitch." He threatened.
Kaiya looked bored. 'Freaks.' She thought. Kosuke looked at her especially.
"Kaiya, why don't you tell us about yourself?" He urged.
"Hinko Kaiya; age: 17; cutter and depressed. Blood type: A. Personality: bitch. Comments: Stay out of my way, don't touch me, don't talk to me, and don't bother me. Follow these simple rules and we'll get along." Kaiya said. She brushed her hair behind her ear, causing her sleeve to fall a bit revealing deep cuts in her wrist; one in particular was fairly new and in the shape of an anarchy sign.
Kosuke looked at her. "Don't be a smartass." he said.
"You like saying ass too much." She commented. "You've said it 3 times already." Kaiya glared at him.
"Kaiya stop, now let's continue with therapy." Kosuke ordered. "Hmm, Yuki go first."
"No I want to!" Hiro cried.
"Shut up." Shuichi said. "Go ahead Yuki!"
"Well I guess it all started with my first boyfriend. He raped me and I still stayed with him. I loved him, but he didn't honestly love me back. I don't know, but I began to hate him. I-I killed him and then I just… I needed to be with someone, and I hated that. I started smoking and drinking a lot." Yuki sighed.
"Anything else?" Kosuke asked. Yuki shook his head and moved his chair closer to Shuichi's.
"I'll go next." Tatsuha volunteered. He began. "I got sent here for beating this guy bloody for calling me ugly. I'm not supposed to be here. It was that jerk who had a problem with my beautiful face…" Kaiya stopped listening. Tatsuha was fucked up!
"Can the son of a bitch stop talking about himself for 2 seconds?" She muttered.
"No kidding." Hiro mumbled.
"Kaiya, Hiro, it's not your turn." Kosuke scolded. "Rei go ahead."
"Well I was fat and I wanted to be skinny and pretty for my boyfriend. Well I got sick and puked up blood once, and I confessed. So they sent me here." Rei shrugged. "But I'm glad. I needed help… plus I'm glad I met Daisuke."
Daisuke continued to stare blankly out the window.
"How about you go next then, Daisuke." Kosuke said. She turned and stared at him.
"My brother noticed that I never talked about having any friends at school. He reported me to the counselor. Next thing I know, I'm here." Kosuke sighed.
"Stop talking in monotone. You need to express your emotions better." There was silence.
"I can't." Daisuke replied.
"Why can't you?" Kosuke asked.
"I don't know how." She glanced around the circle and shifted in her seat. Kosuke got the hint.
"Okay, that's enough attention for today, huh?' Daisuke stopped moving and stared at the wall again.
"I want to go next!" Hiro shouted.
"No! I want to go!"
"Kumagoro wants to go!"
"How about you go, Ryuichi."
"Yay!" Ryuichi shouted, making his plush toy dance.
All of a sudden Ryuichi stopped.
"Yo! Who's the lady?" He asked, leaning back in his chair and smirking, dropping Kumagoro on the ground.
"He changed again." Kosuke said, disappointed.
"I know his story!" Hiro said, jumping up and down.
"Yes, Hiro?" Kosuke sighed.
"Ryuichi's dad used to beat him. The pain was too much for him so his personality split." Ryuichi glared at Hiro.
"Say that again you little punk!" He yelled.
"Alright then!" Hiro said loudly.
"Excuse me!" Shuichi yelled over both of them. "I wanna go next!" He started waving wildly. "Pick me! Pick me!"
"Alright, Shuichi."
"I got caught running around naked in a grocery store." Shuichi said, laughing loudly. "It was fun!"
"I wish I had been there to see it." Yuki said, wrapping his arms around Shuichi.
"Who hasn't gone yet?" Kosuke asked.
"Ren hasn't!" Shuichi said in a sing-song voice.
Ren flinched at hearing his name. He narrowed his eyes at Shuichi.
"Is there some particular reason why you're making me go next?" He asked cautiously.
"You don't have to go unless you don't want to, Ren." Kosuke said. Ren eyed him for a second, but nodded.
"I was just reading in the library… when it happened." He said, trembling. "I… had one of my panic attacks… I thought I was having a heart attack… I screamed so much that someone called 911. I went straight from the hospital to here." He glanced over at Daisuke and saw that she wasn't looking at the wall anymore. She was staring right at him. Ren whimpered and hugged his legs tightly. Daisuke sighed before looking back at the wall.
"I got caught killing a man behind a dumpster!" K said, not even asking for permission to go next.
"Lovely." Kaiya muttered. She was stuck with a homicidal jackass, a baby/bitch boy, and the demented whore Hiro she sat next to. Yuki was alright, Rei was a bitch. Daisuke was cool, Shuichi, Ren, and Fujisaki needed to die… 'Hmm… I bet Homicide would help me.' She thought, glancing at K.
"Hiro, you're next." Kosuke said.
"Yay!" His face saddened. "My own mother," Hiro shook his head. "My own mother sent me here, claiming I went to extreme measures to get attention. How could a mother send her own baby away like that?" Hiro let a few tears fall down his face, dramatically. "It's that whore's fault for not loving me; I did all those things for her." Hiro sobbed.
Several faces filled with sympathy. Kaiya rolled her eyes. 'Drama Queen.' She thought.
"Kaiya, how about you?" Kosuke urged her to speak.
"Pass." She said.
"Kaiya you have to talk." Kosuke said.
"No comment."
"Kaiya!"
A bell rang signaling everyone to go to their next "class". For Kaiya it was the rec. room. Hiro ran up to her, along with Ryuichi.
"Kaiya what happened? It's ok to talk about what happened to you." Hiro coaxed.
"Forget it. You won't hear about it." Kaiya yawned.
"Ahh denial." Ryuichi laughed. "Babe, the longer you deny you have a problem the longer you're here. Take Daisuke for instance. She's been here for two years, Tatsuha since he's been twelve, that's five years. Me, I've been here six months. Hiro ten months, Shuichi and Yuki are both a year right?" Ryuichi asked. Hiro nodded.
"I'm sorry," Kaiya began. "Does it look like I care?" She asked before walking away.
"Hott" Ryuichi commented.
"Hott" Hiro agreed before following.
