Yen dropped her backpack bay the door and ran upstairs to her room. She through herself down on her bed and cried. She cried and cried and cried. Yen herself was not a crier either, but the tears wouldn't stop. The pain hurt so bad! Yen felt as if she was suffocating in it.

When Yen got control of her sobs she ran down stairs into the kitchen and grabbed and knife. She carried it the living room and sat on the couch. She stared at the knife tears still streaming down her face.

Why? Why am I all alone? she asked, Why is everyone against me? She looked at the knife in her hand. Ajax walked into the room and whined. He nudged Yen's arm that didn't hold the sharp kitchen utensil as if to say "You're not alone. I'm here."

Yen dropped the knife on the couch and hugged her dog, sobbing into his neck. When she once again was in control she got up and put Ajax in the backyard, much to his displeasure.

"I don't want you to see this," she explained as his big brown eyes stared into hers. She shut the door and went back to the couch. She picked up the knife and before she could lose her never she sliced her wrist.

She gasped, oh the pain! But this pain felt so good! She rose the knife and again brought it down against her pale skin. So lost in the pain and the pleasure she looked down and saw she bloody wrist. Ten horizontal slits gushing blood, she smiled. Then frowned. Now her wrists where uneven.

She took the knife in her right hand and stared slicing her left wrist. When her two wrists matched, she smiled. She laid the bloody knife down on the cough. She sat back and relished in the pain. Soaking in the toxic mixture of pain and pleasure. But soon a thought popped into her head.

You better get some disinfectant on those or they will get infected.

Yen reluctantly got up and went to the bathroom and put her arms under hot water, it burned. Yen winced and turned the water off. She dried off her wounds with a dark towel and put on the disinfectant. She then bandaged up her arms.

She inspected her work and smirked. What would her parents say if they saw her now. They had always told her how dangerous cutting was after that really bad episode with her sister. Kuri had been rushed to the hospital after trying to kill herself after Itachi had broken up with her. Yen shook her head at the memory, Kuri had always been so dramatic. And after she got out of the hospital she and Itachi had gotten back together.

Ajax whined then barked, wanting back in. Yen gladly obliged and ruffed him up to let him know it was okay. She laughed and smiled feeling so much better. Even though she was now labeled, 'Cutter'.
