Disclaimer: I already said that I already disclaimed everything I needed to disclaim.
Rating: Uhm… P-13? Not really that much sure…
Note: Read my previous notes in the previous elements… I'm tired of copy-pasting it… :) Yo, in case you guys are confused about Erika/Eri (Eri is her nickname, k?), she is a daughter of a very rich designer (and she has her own money… she used to model her mom's clothes before she rebelled), she's smart (I.Q is 148) and she's a black-belter (correct spelling/term?)… Just a little background thing… Okay… Read on…
Anyway… don't let my nonsense blabbering keeping you from reading on… Go on… review afterwards… :)
By the way… just bear with me on this element okay? (you'll soon see why…)
ELEMENT 6:
Tactlessness
No one has heard of Shuichi.
Yuki pounded his fist on the kitchen counter forcefully, 'to hell with all of them!'
He looked at Shuichi's mug, which was a few meters away, and started immensely missing the pink-haired singer— no, HIS pink-haired singer.
'Oh great… don't tell me I'll have to pray for him to come home…' he thought grimly as his story COOL came to his mind... 'I love him dammit! I love him so much it hurts… but why I can't say it downright? What the hell am I supposed to do without him?'
This winter was turning out to be the worst one yet.
The snow that was once tapping gently, was now beating forcefully on the rooftops.
Shuichi snuggled in a bed in one of the many rooms in the big house. He felt cold— he needed Yuki.
Still asleep, he stood up and walked out of the room (the door could easily be opened because it was adjoining Eri's room— like some sort of secret passage thing— told ya she was rich…).
'Yuki,' he muttered softly, 'Yuki… it's cold…hold me Yuki…'
Eri dreamed of things… horrible things.
She was in a dark alley, surrounded by thugs… she was trapped. She tried to scream, but no sound came out… She tried to cry— but no tears came out… And the thugs just kept coming closer and closer…
Eri awoke with a start. She glanced at the alarm clock on her beside table and yawned.
It was seven o'clock and the snowstorm from the night before had disappeared, although not quite completely, into light drizzles.
She got off the bed and was about to change her clothes when something caught her eye— Shindou Shuichi sprawled in an awkward angle a few meters from her bed...
start of flashback (what happened that night)
Shuichi walked over to where Eri slept, while still muttering the words "hold me Yuki…"
Eri was still dreaming about being surrounded by thugs…
Knowing that no one would be there to help her, she took matters into her own hands… She flailed around in her sleep, accidentally hitting and pulling her sheets, and when she felt Shuichi's hands (which were searching for Yuki, mind you…), she pulled him and threw the unconscious boy to the nearby wall.
Shuichi's head hit the wall with a loud thud, and he fell into a heap on the floor…
Yep, that's what happened… that no one could remember. (Just the readers and the author…)
end of flashback
"Shindou-san?" Eri asked cautiously, poking the motionless singer. 'Don't tell me I've done it again… Curse my reflexes and my ability in karate… I just hope it's nothing serious…'
Of course it was nothing serious.
It was only dried blood present at the back part of the pink-haired boy's head… and he was only unconscious— nothing serious… until… he actually regained consciousness…
—end of element—
note: Okay… so Shuichi still thought that Yuki was there in the other room… And since no one has actually BEEN to their (Yuki's and Shuichi's) apartment, much less show a blue print of it, let's all just assume that all rich people buy the same rich apartments… etc… Well, go on, be good Gravitation fans and review this element…
Sorry this elie is embarrassingly, pathetically, ridiculously, ludicrously, incredibly, impossibly, impeccably, undeniably short… I was just debating to my other self on how you guys might react to this… REVIEW please…
the next chapter will consist of an intermission number... a song written by yours truly... and the replies to the reviews...
of course... the next next chapter will contain the continuation!
