Pretend Your Someone Else

The Lost Child

~~~~~~~~~

Last Chapter:

This is great, the guy I've known for a week and who is suppose to arrest me is kneeling down next to me asking me whats wrong. Why doesn't he just knock my out and take me to Koenma or kill me? What's wrong with this guy?

"I'm not leaving until you tell me whats wrong." He tells me.

I look at the ground. I really have no choice.

~~~~~~~~~~~********************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~************~~~~~~~~

I didn't want to answer him, why should I answer the guy who's after me. Part of me wants to tell him to fuck off, but the other part wants to spill my heart out to him. What is with me?

I look up at him and sigh. I try to stop the tears but they have a mind of their own so I let them do what they want.

"Have you ever seen someone die?"

Kurama nodded.

"Were they close to you?" I put my head down.

Silence.

I'm not sure if he nodded or shook his head or just didn't answer. I guess it really doesn't matter.

"I saw my parents being killed. They died slow and painfully."

"I'm sorry." He says.

I shake my head. "Don't be. You weren't the one who killed them so you have nothing to be sorry about." I paused. "Everyone thinks I killed that detective but I didn't. No one will listen to me. No one will believe me."

"What happened?" He asks.

"Why bother, you won't believe me, no one will. Their so caught up in a lie that they won't listen to the truth."

"Well, I'm willing to listen to your side of the story."

"He found me and said that I was the one who killed my parents. I didn't. He said he was going to kill me so I ran. He followed for awhile but then I heard a scream and turned back to see what it was. When I got there his throat was ripped out and he was dead. I don't know what killed him but it wasen't me. I gave up denying it but I would never say I killed him. I always tried to avoid the subject. I don't even bother to tell my friends that because it would probably be a waste of time. I don't even know why I told you that, it's not like you believe me."

"Accually, I do."

I looked up at Kurama in surprise. Did he just say that he believes me? The tears had stopped when he said that I wipped the ones that stained my cheecks away.

"What?"

"I believe you."

"You do?"

"Yes."

I smiled weakly. "Thanks. No one has ever said they believe me."

"If you told your friends they would most likely believe you. If they are true friends they would."

I nodded and we sat in silence as the rain poured around us. About 5 minutes later someting came to mind.

"Why don't you just knock me out and take me to Koenma or kill me. It would be really easy right now."

"We aren't quite sure about our orders and all we know about what we're suppose to do is find you and Shinma. We've found you both and we're awaiting further orders."

"So, since your out to find us, why am I sitting in the rain next to you?"

Kurama smiled. "I'd like to know that too."

"Maybe your a sneaky bastard who followed me and comforted me when I was vunrable just to get on my good side so it would be easier to arrest me when you get your final orders." I smirked.

"Maybe, you just never know, now do you?"

"Oh, thats just so reasuring. Thanks for the support."

Kurama chuckled. "I assure you, I am not trying to get on your good side so it will be easier to find you and take you to Koenma."

"Well thats nice to know."



"Do you mind if I ask you something?"

"Not at all, as long as it's not perverted."

"What did you steal from Koenma?"

I thought about it. It had been 3 years since Shinma and I had stole that, thing, or whatever it was.

"I can't remember." I thought a little more and then remembered. "Oh yeah, it was one of his binkies. He's real protective of his binkies."

Kurama blinked in surprise. "A binkie?"

I nodded. "Yep."

"So he put you down for stealing from him and it was just a little binkie?"

"Apperently so."

Kurama put his hand over his mouth to stiffle a laugh.

I shook my head. "The kids crazy I tell ya. He's obsessed with them. I swear he counts how many he has and he has alot, like 500 or something like that." I smiled at the thought. Koenma was truely insane. "So, what are you?" I ask him.

Kurama looked some what confused. "What do you mean?"

"I'm kitsune, I know your an apparition from the energy I detect from you, but it's really strange. Your like one, but you aren't."

"I am kitsune also. I toke this body to recover when I was injured years ago."

"Really, thats interesting. So can you switch forms?"

"Yes, but I drink a potion, unlike you."

"What, have you been spying on me?"

"No. It was in your records. You can change forms freely right?"

"Yeah, now I can. I use to not be very good at it and acually walked in public looking like a kitsune. Fortuently everyone thought I was some crazy chick in a wig with fake ears and tail. It was pretty funny. Haven't you ever had those days?"

"Can't say that I have."

"So why you walkin around alone in the rain? Isn't it past your bed time?"

"The same reason why your walking alone in the rain."

"So you were looking for some burritos too, what a coincidence."

"You weren't looking for burritos."

I smiled and pushed his arm. "How would you know? Maybe I was craving burritos at mid-night and went out to find some."



"Most don't cry over burritos."

"Maybe I couldn't find any and I became depressed and cried over my lost burrito."

"Thats not what you told me earlier."

"I lied."

"Sure you did."

I glared at him. "I shouldn't even be talking to you. You are the enemy after all."

"When did I become the enemy?"

"Since I said so."

"Why would you say that?"

Now I was getting confused. Not by Kurama but by myself. I confuse myself and thats not good. "Don't play your little mind games me Kurama."



Kurama smiled. "What mind games?"

I glared evilly at him. "You are unbelievably cruel. Your making me think and thinking hurts my little head and I don't like it when my little head hurts. I become quite distructive."

"So does it always rain so much here?"

"Now your making me think again. My poor head is going to burst. To answer your question, not always. I don't mind though, I love the rain. Everytime it rains at night I always walk. It's peaceful"

"It is."

I stood up and offered my hand. "Come on fool."

Kurama looked at my hand before he toke it and I helped him up.



"Where are we going?" He asked.

"Were running away. No, not really, I just don't want to sit here and get all muddy." I thought what I just said over. "I just sounded really girlie rght there didn't I. Damn."

"That still doesn't answer my question."

"Well, I'm gonna walk. For you, you can or you can go, either way I don't care." I said and walked off.

5...4...3...2...1

Kurama came up and walked next to me. We found the park trail and walked along it until we came to the park exit and went to the street.

"And you said you weren't a stalker." I told him.

"It's not considered stalking when they offer their company to you." He said matter-of-factly.

"Damn, your good. Can't beat that."



We walked in silence, the only thing making noise was the rain. I didn't really know what to say, he probably didn't know either. Then something hit me.

"I'm hungry." I say.

He looks at me. "Thats nice to know."

"It is isn't it." What a great way to break the ice.

"Do you always talk about food when your nervous?" He asks.

I blinked a couple of times. What did he just say? Me, nervous, ha. "Where did you get that idea from?"

"I noticed that when your nervous or don't want to answer a question you will mostly bring up the subject of food."

I didn't know what to say, so I said the most reasonable thing. "Nuh uh." Oh, didn't I sound so mature there. What am I, 5 years old?

"It's true, you only talk about the topic of food when your nervous or avoiding a question."

"Will you stop stalking me, damn."

"I am not a stalker, just very observant."



"Observant my ass, your spying on me or something."

"We do have a few of the same classes together."

That is true. Damn him. Damn me for not thinking of a comeback. I should just punch him, that will make me feel better.

"You also hit people when they say something you don't like or you can't think of something to say back to them." He tells me. "And when I say something that is true you accuse me of either stalking or spying on you."

"I hate you." I growl.

"You shouldn't hate people, expecially ones that mean well."

"Then you won't hate me when I bash your head in with a bat cause I meant well?"

"That's different."

"But I meant well."

"Bashing my head in doesn't mean you meant well, it means your trying to kill me."

"Damn, you caught me, now how am I gnna take over the world. How tradgic."

As we walk on I notice that we are coming near my apartment. We turn a corner and it's a couple of yards away.

"That's my apartment so I guess I best be goin or Shinma and Cahadras will either worry or steal my room. See you at school tomorrow. Later." I open the complex's door and walk in. I look back and smile at him.

"Bye." He says and walks away.

I stnad there for a moment until he disapears from sight. I sigh and go in. I walk up the stairs to the 15th floor and walk down the hallway to my door. I open it and go in. They must of known I left because the door would of been locked. The t.v. is on and Shinma and Cahadras are watching t.v. Probablt waiting to see if I'd ever return.

"Hey kid." Cahadras greets. "Have a good walk."

Shinma laughs. "You look like a wet fox, oh, wait you are. I crack myself up."

I threw a pillow that was on the counter at her but she caught it and put it behind her head. "You are on crack, you friggin crack-head."

Shinma gasp. "You figured me out Sakura, who do you so it?"

"It's not to hard to figure it out." Cahadras said.

"Hey." Shinma defended. "I don't do drugs, unlike popular belief."

I watched as the two argued about Shinma's so called 'drug problem.' They really are entertaining. I don't see why would need a t.v. when we got those two.

'If you told your friends they would most likely believe you. If they are true friends they would.'



Kurama's words ring in my head. Might as well tell them, couldn't hurt.

"Hey guys, I gotta tell you something."
