A/N: Uh, yeah... sorry, its kind of boring... enjoy. R&R please. ; It'll get better soon...

It was a quiet day for him. Quiet like usual. His wheels spinning on his red framed bike as he zoomed across the black pavement of roads and cars. Swerving on the old, black tar, he jutted into an opening in the trees that soon followed along white brick, and he cut immediately at a large gap in the white stone where someone must've bashed a tyrannosaurs' head into it or something.
He was kidding, but he liked to think it was true.

Zooming out across someone's lawn that he didn't care for, he popped a wheelie off the curb and swerved into the road of the "private" (mother-effing-rich-) neighborhood. Some man who was cutting his lawn yelled at him with his fist to him and he waved back happily. The man, confused, continued his lawn-work.

He began popping wheelies and stunts to zoom around cars or old drunk men who crashed at a party or something (who were driving home drunk), who always turned back to yell at him and hit somebody in front of them.

It always made him laugh when that happened.

Oh, well, looky here… he smirked.

He skidded to a stop with a swerve of his bike and looked back up the hill of the caged neighborhood at the man who had just hit the front corner of a black vehicle when he swerved and looked backward at the boy he almost hit, the drunk bastard. The man was freakin' out about the woman inside, apologizing profusely through his drunken slur. He sniggered.

Take that, bitch. Maybe that'll teach you not to drink and drive… stupid bastard.

He smiled to himself as he heard the man swear to himself and telling the woman he'd pay for the damage he'd caused. She smiled and said it was okay, it was only a headlight after all.

He heard a chuckling and he looked up to a window where a boy about his age was looking down at him grimly from one of the entrance gate houses. The boy looked sad, the light gone from his eyes. But he snickered at him and Zoro looked up at him, embarrassed.

Why am I embarrassed?

He heard something incoherent and the black-haired boy looked up from him and listened as the voice said something else. The boy looked back down to him and studied him for a moment longer then got up without looking back once more.

He looked back down to his handlebars, gripped them tightly and then rode off to the entrance gate to finish down the next hill to his small town home past the black, iron gates.

He looked around his empty house, knowing his parents were gone. He looked around at the empty living room. He looked it up and down and called out to himself, "Zoro's home, everyone." He looked around and slid his shoes off and picked up his messenger bag from the foyer. He chucked his black hat off to his shoes as started up the stairwell of the small home and reached for his doorknob of his room and before he could even step foot into his room, his head hit the floor as a wet tongue covered his face. "Kai, Kai! Down, boy! Kai!" He said under laughter as the Shiba Inu licked his face over and over. "Kai," He said and sat up, patting the dog. He put his hands on the sides of Kai's face and shook it by rolling his hands in circles and pursing his lips. He kissed the dog on the nose and stood up. The dog sat and followed him into his room.

He flopped down on his bed and the brown Shiba jumped onto the bed. He smiled at his puppy and rustled the white-tipped ears of the pup who then lay down at his feet when Zoro pet him behind the ears. He smiled at him when one ear stayed down and the other came up and the pup gave a huff back at his owner. He reached over to his bag and picked out a book as Kai suddenly hopped off the bed. Zoro watched as Kai jumped up and hit the light switch to the dark blue room with his white paw and turned on his lamp light at the flick of the switch. Zoro smiled and lifted up his manga once again and slipped his thin glasses over his nose as Kai jumped back up onto his black bed and curled up at his feet with a huff.

He had finished almost 5 manga and he slid his glasses off. Setting his manga down next to his lamp and glasses, he pinched the bridge of his nose and the little Shiba looked up at him, his white ears sticking up. Zoro slid off his bed and Kai's head lifted from his paws to watch Zoro as he left his room. Kai pushed himself off the bed and followed his owner down the stairs. He opened the door and Kai scooted out after him as Zoro laced on his shoes and threw his black cap on backwards.


He skidded down to a halt as his eyes came upon the same boy he saw earlier. Kai set himself down to a walk as he came up on Zoro's bike, panting. The boy looked behind him and then another head like his came out, who seemed to be younger than both of them. The older boy dropped down a rope and he jumped over the edge of the window and latched himself onto the rope. He slid down the rope slowly now as the younger boy looked out after him.

He dropped his bike and Kai jumped up, started by the sudden noise, but neither of the boys seemed to notice him. He stepped up slowly onto the curb and watched as the older boy's feet hit the ground, adjusting the orange hat so it didn't choke him. The older opened his arms for the younger, saying something to him that Zoro couldn't understand. Just as the younger got his legs over the ledge of the window, he accidentally blurted out a too loud, "What the hell are you doing?"

The older boy turned around to him, his eyes wide. He couldn't say anything and even his small, 'uh,' was cut off by a loud yipping that pierced the night air followed by a swerve of headlights that sent lights across the boys faces.

"Kai!"
