---------~`*`~---------
Shay was seated on the floor waiting patiently for her friend to start his story. "Well, it started like this…" Raz took a deep breath and began;
"My father was a demon named Dante…and his father was the legendary dark knight, Sparda. (Me and Raz: DEVIL MAY CRY!!!!!!! ^______^ All: …………) They both saved the word. My father did twice, I think. Anyway, after saving the world for the second time, he settled down and that's when he met my mother."
Raz paused for a moment, as if trying to remember something. Shay blinked, "What was your mothers name?"
There was another awkward silence.
"…Alexandria." Raz said after a while. "That's a beautiful name." Shay said softly. Raz nodded, and continued with his story:
"Anyway, He met my mother and they had me. But, when I was young…my father…my father was killed."
Shay gasped, "Oh God! I'm so sorry Raziel…" Raz shook his head, "Don't be. It wasn't your fault." Shay nodded, "Okay. Um…how did he die?"
"I was getting to that." He said, "Well, my father had killed Nelo Angelo…my uncle, the first time he had saved the world. But some how…Nelo came back…and…killed my father."
Raz looked at the ground with an angry stare. Shay noticed that there was a strange energy coming from him, and a faint red aura glowing around the teen's body. He continued.
"After that…my mother was grief stricken. She hung around the house a lot…and before we had always traveled and were always in some jungle or island because of my father's job. Anyway, I finally got my mother out of the house one day. We went to a local park…and that's when we met him…"
Shay blinked, "And who's 'him'?" she asked as she got up and sat down by Raz, never taking her eyes off of him.
"…Gabriel." Raz said after a long pause. (All: *anime fall* me: HEY!! Charles Gabriel Dante Rosetti is COOL!! Raz: …He's a vampire in a book… me: …so? Raz: -_-') A spark came to life in the young boy's eye, a spark of hatred. A loathing spark of pure hatred. Shay nodded, "Gabriel…Did you like him at all?"
"Hell no!!" Raz almost yelled. "He was a fucking bastard!! The prick…" Shay jumped and recoiled a bit, "Raz…calm down…please…?"
Raz took a deep breath, exhaled, then started to open and close his fists. After a while, he had calmed down. "I'm sorry, Shay, I shouldn't have done that."
A memory of Shay's parents flashed through her mind, "No…" she said in a cool, even tone, "its…all right."
Raz nodded. "Please, continue with your story." Raz nodded again, and picked up where he left off. "So, we met Gabriel in the park, and…for some unknown reason…he started to date my mom." He sighed, "I don't know what she saw in him."
Shay shrugged, and Raz continued. "Anyway, after a while they got married and had another kid…a little girl…" He turned to look at the door to the spare room. "…Elle…"
"Ohh…" Shay nodded slowly. "Well, not very long after Elle was born, probably a few years, my mother died…" He looked at the ground.
"Oh God…" Shay covered her mouth with a hand, "I-I'm so sorry, Raziel…That must have been…" She left the sentence drifting, for she did not know what to say. Raz sighed heavily, "Don't be sorry, Shay." Shay nodded, "All right…" She bit her lip, "If you don't want to continue, then I understand-"
"No." Raz said firmly, "Its fine. I'll keep going." Shay nodded, and Raz continued, "After she died…the only person I really had left was Elle, so I spent most of my time with my little sister. One day, Gabriel got mad at Elle for knocking over a glass and breaking it while we were playing. He grabbed Elle and…he started to hit her…No, not hit…" He sighed, "He started to…beat her."
Shay gasped, and noticed the red aura around Raz glow brighter. "She started crying…and for that, he beat her more…" He said, "She was only seven, she was a little kid!!" The aura became more and more brighter, and Raz said something in an ancient tongue. Shay started to become a little worried…but mostly frightened. "Raz, c-calm down…"
"I am calm." He said evenly. "Is I wasn't calm, I'd be gone." Shay nodded, and said disbelievingly, "Okay…"
"I was young…and even though I stood by the door, watching every thing…I was too afraid to help her…" Raz sighed, "After he as done…Elle had a horrible black eye, a lot of bruises and some cuts and scratches. Anyway…the beatings continue…"
"For how long?" Shay asked.
"…Till she was 8." Raz said, "I stopped them. I came home from school one day, Elle had stayed home because of her injuries, and he was…He was beating her with the leg of a chair."
Shay gasped in disbelief, "No way!! And she was only eight?"
Raz nodded, "Yep…I couldn't handle it…so I stopped it."
"…How did you stop it?" Shay dared to ask. Raz smirked, "I gave him a taste of his own medicine."
Shay shook her head, "Oh God…" she said. She didn't dare ask what he did exactly. "Would you like to know how…?"
Shay shook her head again, "No. I…don't want to know anymore…" Raz nodded, "All right."
After a long pause, Shay sighed, "You've had such a depressing life…" She said. Raz shrugged, "Kinda…After I hurt him for hurting Elle, he moved to Egypt, and took Elle with him…he was to afraid to take me…"
Shay nodded, "I see…"
"Yeah…" He said, "They went to Egypt, and I stayed in West City (AN: I FINALLY found my notes!! ^o^ Raz: …*sigh* -_-') Elle sent me a letter about a year ago telling me that she-no, they- were coming to get me. And that's when we moved to Domino City."
"Um…Why did you move to Domino City?" Shay asked.
"…Gabriel's job."
"Oh…"
The aura around Raz died down, and then…silence.
A long…awkward silence.
Shay sat there next to Raz for a long time, twisting the ring on her finger. Raz gave a side-glance over top the girl sitting next to him. Hmm…where did she get that ring, I wonder… He thought, and sighed.
Shay looked over at him, "Whats wrong?" she asked. Raz looked at her, "Hm? Oh…nothing. Just…memories." Shay nodded, "Oh…" Then looked back at the ring.
"Hey," Raz asked, "Where did you get that?" Shay looked up at him, "What…this?" She pointed to the ring. Raz nodded, "Yeah, that."
"Oh…" She looked at the ring again, "From…my old friends, Sammy, Susie and Britt…" Raz was silent for a while, "…Oh." He looked at the wall again. After a few minutes, he noticed that Shay was…crying.
He looked at her, "Shay? Are you all right?" He asked.
Shay sniffed and wiped a tear away from her eye, "I don't know." She said. "Well…" Raz scooted closer to her, "Why are you crying?"
"Memories." Shay mumbled. "Memories of my old friends…"
"Well…" Raz said, "Do you want to…tell me about it?" Shay wiped another tear away and shook her head, "No…I don't want to bore you." Raz sighed, "Shay…you wont bore me. Just tell me," he said, "I want to know."
Shay sniffed again, "Okay…Well, my best friends were Sammy, Susie and Britt when I lived in Utah…I was about 8 or 9 when this happened…but, we decided that since we were all friends, we should have an emblem of friends ship…" She blushed, "We saw it on a little kids movie, it was really childish. So anyway, we looked around, and finally found these rings at a pawnshop. The cool thing was, they were really cheap and there was a sell, 10 for 5 bucks. So, we bought 'em and…that was our friendship emblem."
"So…you were thinking back on it and thought you could have gotten a better bargain?" Shay shook her head, "No…the reason I was crying was because…" She looks at the ground, "…just a few months after that…there was an accident. The school bus that they rode crashed and drove into an irrigation ditch. Britt got out of the crash, but died from pneumonia two weeks later…" Shay's voice started to quiver, "She gave me her ring, and I found Sammy's and Susie's by the ditch later that week…" She sighed and began twisting her ring again.
"God Shay," Raz said, "That sucks." Shay sniffed and nodded, "Yeah…the only other friends I had at the time were Ethan, Ryan and Laita. (Me: DON'T LAUGH!!!! .) But, Laita moved after a few more years to…Samoa, I think. Then Ryan moved to Mexico. So it was Ethan and I for a while. Then…My parents died, so I moved to England."
"Wow…" Was all Raz was able to say. Shay sniffed and nodded, "So…Ethan still has his ring, I think…he's probably lost it by now. But, Faith has a ring…so does Arwen. Yugi, Tristen and Joey all have one, although Joey and Trist don't wear those out all the time. Malik doesn't want one, he says that he hangs around with us and knows that were friends and that's all he needs." She sighed, and Raz said nothing.
"Hey!" Shay suddenly brightened up, "I have an idea!" Raz raised an eyebrow, "What?"
Shay looked at him, "Why don't I give you and Elle rings?" Raz shrugged, "Sure, why not?" Shay smiled, "Great. I can go get then right now if ya want me too."
Raz shook his head, "Nah, not right now. You can get them later." Shay nodded, "Okay…" Then sat back down.
Meanwhile, Elle, who was beginning to get bored and restless, decided to peek around the corner and listen in.
[Aibou, what are you doing?] Elleaner said inside of their mind link.
{I'm bored.}
[Raz wouldn't like you listening in.]
{Do you care about what Raz thinks?}
[…Good point.]
Elle sighed at her yami and continued to eavesdrop, not knowing that what she was about to see was not for anyone to know about…nor was it intentional…
The two teens sat in complete silence. Raz snuck another glance at the young girl sitting next to him. Man…she's beautiful…DAMN IT!!! STOP THINKING THAT RAZIEL!!! ____ I swear to God…
"Raz." Shay said, "I'm going outside, wanna join me?" Raz looked at Shay when she said his name, "Sure." Shay stood up, "Come on, then." She smiled, and headed for the back door. Raz got up and followed her. When Elle was sure they were outside…she followed also, watching them threw the window.
By the time they were outside, it was nighttime. Shay walked over to a small pond that Ryou and his friends had built one summer. She looked at her reflection in the water and sighed. Raz walked over, "Nice pond…" he said. Shay smiled slightly, "Yeah…"
Raz looked over Shay's shoulder and into the pond. There were gold fish and carp in the pond. Shay sigh again, "Look at the moonlight reflecting off of the water." She said, "Its beautiful."
Raz nodded, "Yeah…" There was another moment of silence as the wind blew, making the water ripple. A cherry blossom fell off of a nearby tree and landed on the waters surface, frightening the fish.
"Whats with them?" Raz mumbled.
"There fish." Shay said. Raz scowled, "Damn fish…Whats the use of them?"
"To swim." Shay said. Raz sighed, "Yeah, I guess so." he said. Shay looked up, "Look…There's a cherry blossom." Raz looked up to see that Shay was looking at a small pink flower on a tree branch. A perfect little flower, fragile to even the gentlest breeze. Shay stood up on one of the slippery rocks to try and grab the blossom, and slipped. "Whoa!"
Shay stared to fall for the pond. "Careful!" Raz said, and grabbed her, pulling her away from the water. Shay looked up, her blue-green eyes meeting his brown from the odd position they were in. Raziel had one arm wrapped around Shay's waist, the other hand holding onto her wrist. Shay had her free hand clinging to Raz's back.
"Um…A-Arigato…" Shay stuttered. "No problem…" Raz said, and then looked her up and down. "You look…" he said, "…nice"
Shay bushed, "T-Thank you…" She said. Raz looked her up and down again, and then pressed his lips against hers gently. Shay's eye's widened but then relaxed as she kissed him back. Suddenly, Raz pulled back, breaking the kiss. "I-Im sorry." He said, then put shay down and started to walk away.
Shay dropped on the ground with a soft 'thud'. "Wha…" She got up, "Raz, wait!" and started running towards Raz.
Shay got to Raz and grabbed his arm, turning him around to face her. "Shay, I'm really sorry." He apologized again. "N-No," She said, "D-Don't be."
"But I have to be sorry," he said, "I shouldn't have done that." Shay sighed, "Listen Raziel, I…Its all right, you don't need to be sorry. And…" She left the sentence hanging again. Raz looked at her, and she at him. After a while of silence, Shay began to bite her lip. I can't resist… Raz thought, right before kissing Shay again…this time…more passionately.
Raz moved his tongue along Shay's bottom lip. He felt her bite her lip (how can she bite her lip while kissing?) but then part her lips slightly, allowing him entry in her mouth.
The muscle began to explore the young girls mouth, and while this was happening, Shay wrapped her arms around Raz's neck. He responded by wrapping his arms around her hips. Shay moved one hand and ran her hand through the boy's hair. After a while, they parted for breath. Shay looked up at him, panting, "W…Why'd you stop…?"
Raz smirked. Shay bit her lip, "W-What?" she said.
Raz kept smirking, then said: "…I love you."
Shay's eyes widened and her throat went dry. Raz let her go, and headed for the door. He walked inside and closed the door behind him, not even noticing his younger sister hiding behind the door. (Me: LOL!! Raz: …-_-')
Shay just stood there. A gentle breeze blew across the yard and she looked up at the moon. She brought her hand up and touched her lips gently, "…wow."
Meanwhile, Raz walked to the spare room, not even noticing that Elle wasn't there. He closed the door, rested his head against it and sighed. "I have just screwed everything up…" Raz shook his head and made a bed on the floor for him to sleep on. After it was made, he sat staring up at the ceiling for a few hours before drifting off into a dreamless sleep.
