AN: Yay! Another chapter! And its not 5 am, again! Well ... since I've only gotten an hour sleep in the past 24 hours, it feels like freakin 5. I guess his chapter is gonna be a little more sappy than usual ... but I'm really thinking that this isn't gonna be a yaoi. But I may change my mind... I am an indecisive creature after all...
DISCLAIMER: Dun own nothin' but this lil ficcy... Maybe I'll get Fushigi Yuugi next year fro X-mas.
"Oi, Regina! Mind if I go out fer a bit?" Genrou called from the front room, already ready and heading at the door.
"It's late, Genrou. Where do you plan on going? Dinner's going to be ready soon."
Genrou shook his head a little, glancing to her over his shoulder as he slipped on his sneakers. "I ain't gonna be gone long. Just gonna go get a movie or two. I won't miss dinner."
"Well... All right, but promise not to be too late."
"I already told ya that I wouldn't, didn't I?" Genrou grinned. Regina smiled in return, then nodded her head.
"So you did."
Genrou walked down the streets, getting into the more busy part of town. He had an hour or so before he had to be back for dinner, and he wanted to check out the video store for a movie, since he would be out of school until Monday. He absently looked through windows as he went on his way, and for some length of time, he kicked at a bottle cap and watched it until it stopped, and then kicked it again when he reached it, but it soon fell into the gutter of the curb, and he didn't bother to retrieve it.
The video store was located in a lot with other stores around it and a gas station. It was the second biggest store there next to a Good Will. Genrou side tracked a bit, and dug through some racks of clothes that were on the outside of the store to see if he could find anything interesting. He sighed when he didn't, and continued on into the video store, poking at a hole in his worn sweater.
Genrou browsed the comedy section first, but when he found nothing there, he went to the horror section to see if they had any new releases. He smirked before reaching up and picking out "Army of Darkness" and "Evil Dead 2". They were the most hilarious movies he had ever seen, and they never ceased to crack him up, even though he had seen them at least thirty times each. He glances up a moment, and started a bit when he saw a small group of tough looking boys watching him while pointing and whispering. Genrou recognized one of them as Mark's best friend.
Genrou made a slight face, then shrugged it off, and when to the front desk to rent the movies and pick up a bag or two of gummy bears to snack on later. He continued to watch the group of boys out of the corner of his eye as he paid, and leaving the store with his bag. Just as he expected, they followed him. He kept cool though, and kept going on his way back home, not feeling like getting into any sort of trouble. He turned and started down the alley to go through lot at the back of the stores. There was a short cut street he could take to get back faster. He stopped, however, when he heard a boy call out to him.
"What do ya want?" Genrou demanded, annoyed and folding his arms over his chest.
"You're the guy that fucked up Mark, aren't you?" a tall, husky boy with gelled, black hair interrogated as he stood up to Genrou.
"So what if I am?"
"What do you mean, so what? That's our home boy you're fuckin' with," piped up another equally big guy with shaggy, blonde hair.
Genrou rolled his eyes. "Oh, please. Don't tell me yer gonna try an' kick my ass fer beatin' th' shit outta yer... "home boy"."
The first boy that spoke narrowed his dark eyes angrily. "Don't make fun of us like that. You're in enough trouble as it is."
"Oh yeah? What sort o' trouble is that?"
Genrou was shoved unexpectedly by one of the boys and went crashing back into a few garbage cans and old crates that were stacked up against one of the walls of the buildings. He was only stunned for a second, but then growled and went to spring to his feet to fight back, but froze when he turned and found a gleaming blade of a pocket knife in his face.
Dr. Ri sighed lightly as he watched the numbers roll up on the meter of the gas tank he was at. It had been a quiet day for him, and he was on his way home from work, but stopped for gas when he realized that his car was on the low side. He sipped at a water bottle, which he had purchased inside as he waited.
Finally the numbers reached his limit, and he withdrew the pump and turned to stick it back in its holder, blinking when he caught sight of a group of boys going towards the back of the video store just a few feet away. One of them had red hair, and there was only one person he knew that had hair color like that. He paid no mind at first, but frowned when he heard a loud crash, and quickly made his way to investigate.
Dr. Ri was completely unprepared for the sight that was before him. Genrou was being held by a boy that had a knife in his hands while the other three boys taunted him and started ganging up at him. Without even thinking, Dr. Ri rushed forward to help.
"Hey! What do you boys think you're doing??"
Genrou turned his head when he heard the familiar voice and found Dr. Ri standing off to the side of him, only about a foot away. He winced, really not wanting the doctor to get involved, but it was too late now. The boy with dark hair arched a brow as he looked over the doctor. "What? Are you some kind of body guard?"
Dr. Ri narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "Let him go. Now."
"I think Gen-turd's friend here is looking for some trouble too, guys. What do you say? Should we give it to him?"
Genrou felt his temper snap when the boys started threatening Dr. Ri. Taking the distraction to his advantage, he turned quickly and clipped the boy that held him in the jaw with his fist, causing him to stumble back and drop the knife. Genrou barley had time to kick it out of reach before he was barreled over by a body hitting him hard, the sound of a single gun shot echoing within his ears and the deserted lot.
Genrou heard the boys shout at each other to run, but it all seemed like a blur in his mind. He had struck his head on the ground and was dazed for a moment. He shook his head slightly and sat up, watching the last of the four boys disappear around the corner, then blinked then looked down to find Dr. Ri laying on the ground with a red colored spot spreading over his side, and staining his white shirt. Genrou's blood ran ice cold in his veins and his face blanched horribly when realization hit him. Dr. Ri had pushed him out of the way to take the bullet instead...
