Chapter eight: Flashback (2 Years earlier)
The Wanijima's were once again flying down the highway in the trailer. It was a very, very hot day and all the teens in the back were struggling to keep themselves cool. Akira and Agito were sitting back to back by the opened fridge, Lind was standing on his bed with his head out of his window and Akito was fanning himself with a newspaper. Kaito was driving and he had all the windows and sun roof open.
None of them were talking to eachother because when their extremely hot, arguements tended to start. Akito was near anough the only sain one when it came to tolerating the weather. Kaito would yell all the time about simple things, Akira would do anything to get cooler, even probably sell one of his brothers, Lind would become completely evil and Agito snaps at anything and everything that moves.
"AKITO, GET UP HERE" shouted Kaito. 'Here comes the heat caused assult' thought Akito getting up from his space on the floor. Staggering to the front of the van he prepared himself for whatever Kaito would say. Lind had already been had a go at by Kaito this morning for forgetting to open the windows, he wouldnt be able to guess what was instore for him.
Arriving, Kaito pointed at the passenger seat with his long lean finger. Akito sat in the seat putting his hands in his lap and looking up at his brother with a 'Dont hurt me' look. Taking a long drag of his cigarette he turned back to the road. "What are your brothers doing?" he asked in a calm voice. "Sitting around, why?"
"Pick a brother, any brother except me" he said taking another long drag.
Akito thought for a moment. He couldnt choose Kaito so that left 3, Agito wouldnt be too happy if he was disturbed from his fridge sitting, he should know, he tried to talk to him this morning and got a very long cursing assult from Agito. Akira was ALWAYS in a bad mood during the hot season so the only one would be Lind who, if anything, became very flirtatious in the hot season and Akito could handle that.
"Lind" answered Akito. Kaito nodded before shouting for him. He appeared round the corner with a rather annoyed look on his face, obviously annoyed Kaito pulled him away from the window. "What?"
"Dont speak to me like that or I'll rip that tongue of yours out" threated Kaito obviously in very bad mood. Lind huffed and leaned against Kaito's chair.
Kaito took a drag then looked at the road. "I want you both to take a package to a friend of mine, its not far from here" said Kaito casually not turning to look at the two. Akito looked confused where as Lind didnt seem to care. He rubbed his head and sighed. "Alright, when do you need it sent?" he asked looking quite uninterested. "As soon as possible"
Akito and Lind walked down the street. Neither of them talking to each other. Lind snapped at Akito when they were in the trailer, telling him to wear his AT's to make the trip go alot faster. Akito really didnt want to wear them and this angered Lind, meaning they had to walk all that way. Putting his hands behind his head, Lind walked further off, ahead of Akito.
Akito had the package clutched to his chest and was looking down at it with interest. He'd sent Akira and Agito off with packages like this before and sometimes even Lind, but he never sent Akito for some reason. He couldnt think what could be inside it but he'd bet anything that Lind knew.
Catching up with Lind, Akito poked him in the shoulder. With a huff he turned round to face his brother. "What is it Akito?"
"Do you know whats in this?" he asked thrusting the box forward. Lind looked at the package then back at Akito. "I dont know, but if you dont hurry up I'll take it and hit you round the head with it" Akito rolled his eyes. 'Ah, the heat filled assult I was waiting for' thought Akito clutching the box again.
They walked for a while in complete silence, only being interupted by children playing outside with their friends. How Akito wished he could join them. Looking over to Lind, he was watching them too and seemed to be thinking the exact same thing. Even though on the outside, Lind seemed to be a very self absorbed, nasty person, on the inside he, like everyone else, wanted to let loose and have fun with other kids of his own age.
Akito could remember the old days, when they still had parents and he and his brothers would always play around, not a care in the world. Akito had more confidence as a child, he, Agito and Lind were exactly the same. Carefree, energetic, quite smart for their ages and they even looked the same. Short blue hair that just about framed their little faces, big amber eyes and big grins always plastered on their faces.
They'd play around all the time and Akira played along too. It was only when their parents left that they started to change. Akito became quieter and more self concious, Agito became angry at the world and Lind tried his best to not be associated with his brothers as best as he could.
Akito knew from that time on, they would never be as happy as those kids playing outside. He didnt even have any good memories since his parents left, seemed as though his parents had cursed their lives as soon as they left. It saddened Akito to think about his parents, he didnt remember them clearly but he knew other stuff about them.
The smell of his mothers perfume. She had many different types of perfumes, apples, roses, but Akito's favourite was always her Vanilla smelling perfume. That smell always left an imprint in Akito's senses. He remembered his dads muscley arms, he had the strength to lift Akito, Agito and Lind at the same time. He'd occasionally let them grip to his arms and he'd lift them up off the ground and carry them around the house. "Its good exercise" is what he'd always say, it'd make Akito laugh and he'd remember how Kaito would try and immitate him but he didnt have the strength to lift all three.
It was always the little things that Akito remembered and those little things were what he hated the most. They were always his favourite little memories and whenever he was angry about his parents leaving, them little things would appear in his head and stop him from hateing them. He so badly wanted to hate them, detest them, be angry at them for leaving but he couldnt. It was easy for Agito and Lind, they tended to hate a lot of people and didnt mind adding their mum and dad to their list.
Akito felt like he was gonna cry from remembering all this but he didnt have time when he was shoved slightly by Lind. They'd arrived at a big building which looked like a block of flats. He hadn't noticed because of all his thoughts, that they'd entered a unknown, run down estate with lots and lots of graffiti all over the walls and litter lined the ground. It reminded Akito of all the times when he'd been dragged along by Kaito to go on midnight drug raids. He'd never had any good experiences on those raids.
"I'll go take the package to the flat, you stay here Akito" Lind said snapping Akito out of his midnight raid thoughts. Before Akito could say a word, Lind snatched the package and ran off in the direction of the stairs. He watched his brother go, getting really worried aout where he had been left.
He could no longer feel the heat from the sun as he was standing in the shade. He wish he wasnt as a cold breeze brushed past him making goosebumps appear on his already pale skin. If he knew he'd suddenly become cold he would have brought a coat of some kind. His loose t-shirt and tiny short were not helping at all in keeping away the cold.
He didnt like standing where he was anymore. In an open area where anyone could come at him and from many different angle. He walked to the steps and sat on the bottom cold concrete slab. This sent a shiver up his spine but he chose to ignore it, Lind would be back anytime soon. At least now he knew that he could see completely if anyone came at him.... or so he thought.
He could hear whispears coming from behind him. Someone was coming down the stairs. It wasnt Lind, Lind couldnt whispear to save his life. The voice sounded like a teenager, the sort of teenager that would be on the back of a bus and if you sat near them they would tease and tease you until you broke and left. He'd had enough of people teasing him. Whether it was because of his height, his feminin features or just to get on his nerves. If anything happened now there would be no one to stop them, save him, keep him safe.
Subconciously he got up from the cold step and ran off into the direction of a dark alleyway to get away from the onslaught that would bound to come if he stayed there. He looked round the corner and watched as a group of four teenagers, not much older than he was, walk down the steps laughing at each others jokes. He didnt think they'd seen him and that allowed Akito to relax.
Akito was too busy being relieved about not being caught by those teenagers that he didnt hear the foot steps coming from behind him. Akito froze when he felt someone breathing on the back of his neck. A horrible boozy smell came with it, invading his nostrils. He was not prepared for the horribly rough, deep voice that whispeared into his ear. "Are you lost little lady?"
