5. Words On Skin: Part 1.
Notes: To Opal Spirit (yes, I do read all the reviews even if I don't respond cause there's too many and I'm the epitome of laziness): I separate them into 3 parts and post them in no particular order because I have writer's block as a recurring issue and sometimes I can't think of any ideas for a story so I thought it would be easier to just split them, work on one first then the other if the plot bunnies run away. I have included the titles in the chapter selector thingy (I can't think of the word .) so you can select the part you want from there.
Summary: 'Whatever is written on your skin appears on your soulmate's'. That is the unbreakable rule of the universe. When soulmates are few and far between and it is difficult for them to even meet, it is a strange rule but helpful sometimes as Kuroba Kaito finds out. Whilst writing random things on his arm, he is shocked - and mildly interested - when he receives a reply. Just who is this mysterious Shin?

Kaito scribbled another line onto his homework, shooting withering glares at the ink and paper as if they had done him a great disservice. It was freaking Saturday night and he had to do homework! That was what Sunday was for. Even if Kaito was a genius that everyone acknowledged - Hakuba too, albeit very unwillingly - and could easily breeze through the topics, even geniuses needed to take time and write down the answers to the questions. These questions were slightly (extremely) too easy for him though. In boredom and because he could, he started doodling KID's caricature on his arm, pen skimming him palm, forearm, wrist as he drew it over and over again until the underside of his left arm was a mess of ink.
Suddenly, a brief electrifying feeling shot from the back of his left hand to his shoulder and down his spine before settling as a light tingling at the small of his back before it gradually faded away. Kaito jerked backwards in shock, nearly falling off his desk chair and sending a few - thankfully non-fragile - ornaments toppling to the floor. He briefly heard his mother call from the kitchen, asking him if he was alright and he sent back a brief affirmative, eyes riveted on the tiny but neat kanji that mysteriously appeared on the back of his hand and was still continuing to appear even as he watched.
Hey, could you stop the doodling? It's distracting me due to the weird feeling it brings and I can't concentrate on my work! I actually got a soulmate and it turned out to be a rabid KID fan of all people. Figures that my rotten luck would do this to me.
Scowling down at the words - because face it, he (and it was obviously a he due to the masculine pronouns) sounded like he was one of those pompous rich people that had eccentric hobbies and hated humanity - while feeling around for the pen that had fallen somewhere onto the floor, Kaito fetched a wet towel and rubbed off the ink from his arm before writing out a short reply in his typical messy scrawl.
hellooooo~ you sure sound like a cheerful one huh? and im not just a KID fanboy, im KID's biggest fan! whats your name?
Now to wait for a reply. Humming, Kaito had just finished up the rest of his work and placed them in his bag when another tingle travelled up his arm and he looked down to see calligraphy like words beside his own chicken scratch, as if the writer was trying to prove he was better than him. The message just poured oil onto fire.
Do you have ADHD or something along with the inability to use punctuation? It sure seems like you do, otherwise why would you suddenly switch topics? And isn't it common courtesy to give you own name before asking for someone else's?
Kaito frowned and reconsidered his prior beliefs. Maybe he wasn't as favoured by Lady Luck as he thought, if not, why would she give him an annoyingly snarky person for a soulmate?
That was mean :( Just for that, I won't tell you my real name, you can call me Kai! And I can so use punctuation, see? So there!
Well then, seeing as you're being so immature, I will deign to give you my real name as well. You can call me Shin.
