A few days had passed after the classroom incident, yet, Kiko still found herself pondering over it.
"Why did he...look at me like that?" she thought of herself as going insane. Speaking to no one but yourself was a sure sign she was losing her senses. This was the first sign of being insane, that and hurting yourself of course. But she couldn't stop. This redhead forced new thoughts, new questions into her messed up mind.
Questions that she wanted answers to, as she said them out loud hoping for a voice, any voice to give her a clue. There weren't voices though. No one was going to help her. No one has ever helped her and never will...
She forced herself to get up from her messy bed. The school week was over and the weekend made an unexpected visit. Her sketchbook lay on the cold floor a few feet from her bed. She couldn't find any inspiration in her bland room. It was dark and had a sinister feel to it, but she was sick of drawing sinister drawings.
She wanted something new, something fresh something that would pop out of the page if you touched it. Something she could breathe life into, sucking in all the air, a real moving image. She wanted her pictures to come to life.
But she couldn't shake the curious thoughts that loitered on her shoulders, poking her head annoyingly, focusing her thoughts on them. Thoughts of Matt clouded her head as well as thoughts of the blond boy, Mello. What were these boys doing to her? Even her music couldn't uncloud her frenzy mind.
She decided to leave her room, which was cramped with thoughts of the two boys.
She headed out unaware of the strange looks she was getting. "She's actually out of her room!" were one of the many whispers that were passed around the halls. Locking herself in her room to try and escape the new sensations that plagued her wasn't the best idea she ever had.
She rolled her red eyes, 'Honestly....'
Kiko didn't know where to go. Everywhere she went it was bustling and loud. She did not want to work in a room where the volume was up to max. She needed somewhere calm, peaceful, and relaxing, but it had to be vivid and interesting, filled with things that caught the eye and made everything around them seem more alive. Just when she thought all hope was lost, she passed by a room with an motivating aura about it.
She stepped in and realized that it was some sort of common room except it was empty. Inside the circular room was a grand piano that was white as a snowy day. There were a few couches and such, but that's not what struck her. The fact that there seemed to be a body of white making some sort of complex castle was what struck her odd.
The boy looked strangely familiar to her as he stuck another block onto his growing castle. The blocks were an array of colors like a rainbow, but with shapes and corners instead of swirls and fading light. His face was blank as he stacked block after block, looking as though he wasn't even thinking about the building he was creating.
She quickly recognized the boy. 'Near' she thought. Near, the one who was tied with her, the one who used to sit with her at dinner, and the one who bandaged her wounds and never told a soul about them. Near...
An idea appeared out of the clouds in her head like a ray of sunshine. She sighed in relief, 'I found my room.'
She went over and slid down the wall onto the floor, quietly so, careful not to catch the boy's attention. As she pulled her knees to her chest and turned to a blank page in her sketchbook, she began visualizing the image, contemplating it, trying to bring it to life.
Kiko eagerly began sketching an outline, forcing the image to pause itself and not leave her mind. Though it struggled against the bars she has surrounded it in, the image remained, posing for her as a model.
Near didn't seem to notice Kiko at all. He continued building as though she wasn't there. He brought his finger up to his shocking white hair and began to twirl.
Kiko observed the boy, eyes full of excitement. She drew the room first, giving it a darkly feel. She made the piano, which in real life look polished and new, look old and dusty. She gave it a few broken keys as though someone was angry and banged some sort of object into the poor piano.
Next came the structure that surrounded the boy. It was extremely complex, made up of dice and blocks. There were many towers all in different shape and sizes. Kiko drew it exactly the same except she made it look as though blood had splattered over the buildings.
Finally came the boy himself, she held a small smirk as she drew him. As he lifted his finger up to twirl she drew it quickly. She made his white clothes appear to be blood-stained. His normally white perfect hair was shaggy and has a bit of darkness to it. But the most vivid, the most spectacular thing about this sketch was Near's face.
His face held a slight eerie feeling to it as it was turned slightly. You could see his dark eyes that held sinister ideas, sinister things behind them. His mouth was opened slightly to show his gleaming sharp teeth. She had made him out to be a vampire, a scary vampire.
She was actually quite proud once she finished, though she didn't know why she had gone back to drawing creepy things. But the picture gave her a strange sense of satisfaction, and thus, she stuck her pencil behind her ear and began getting off the hardwood floor.
"May I see?" she yelped as she adverted her gaze to the albino boy that sat across the room. His black eyes were on her as she fumbled to stand.
"W-What?" she stuttered completely shocked that he had known she was their all along.
"May I see it?" he gestured at the sketchbook in her shaking hands.
"O-oh." she had never shown any her drawings, not even L. They were private, her secrets laid in the sketch marks on the pages. All her thoughts, hopes, nightmares were in the book that she held in a tight grip. She couldn't show him...could she?
Her posture softened as she looked into the trusting eyes of the albino. He hadn't told anyone about the scars on her arms. Not one soul. She could trust him with this right?
Nervously, she began to walk over to the sitting boy. She crouched down and showed him the drawing of him. She bit her lip, but not enough to draw blood, as he looked at the sketch with questioning eyes.
After thirty seconds or so that felt like forever, a small smile appeared on his ghost-like face.
"I like it. It's interesting, very interesting and dark too." he said as he gave her sketch back. A wave of relief flooded over her as he said those words. She thought he would be utterly freaked out if he saw himself as a bloody vampire but he seemed to like it.
What she couldn't get at though was why she even cared what this boy though about her. She never cared about what people thought of her so why now. She seemed to care about what this boy thought of her.
"Would you like to join me?" asked Near holding out a block to her. She stood there stunned not really knowing what to do.
"Alright." she said and sat besides the albino and began helping build his structure.
Sorry if this was short! Anyway Please review invisible candy corn! And hugs from Chi!
