Rhyth felt warmth. It was unusual. She felt like she was laying on
something soft. It was unusual. She opened her eyes, she was still dressed.
She knew then it wasn't a dream because she was laying quietly on Corn's
bed with the blankets tenderly tucked around her. The window permitted red
and golden rays of the setting sun to pass through. She slowly sat up, and
yawned.
"You're finally awake.It's dinner time," Corn said unexpectedly, and he left it at that. He stood from the couch, and extended a hand to help her up but she refused silently and stood up on her own.It was then she realised her skates were not on anymore.She searched with her eyes around the room in a silent frenzy before she saw them beside the bed. Corn set up two cheap T.V. dinner tables and set out some food. Rhyth took her place on the couch and looked down at the food.It was new... only a sandwich with bologna, but it was new.
Rhyth and Corn ate the meal in silence as the sun went down. Corn set her long T-shirt and boxers out beside the couch then changed into his own.She had been up on the roof for quite a while.He lay down on his bed and pulled the covers around him. He noted however, that Rhyth left no perfume scent there like Gum used to. Rhyth did not haunt nor tear at his very being, she just was.With that thought, he drifted to sleep.
Rhyth entered much later then Corn had fallen asleep.She had been out prowling the dark streets to use up energy that had fluctuated since she had eaten. The moon was high in the sky by the time she returned to the apartment.She had learned that no matter how long she skated in a frenzy out there she could not banish the hunger. Not normal hunger, a hunger for comfort. But she hated the frailty of it.She didn't want to depend on anyone for comfort. She quietly changed beside the couch into the t-shirt and boxers.The moon was so brightly lit outside that it cast it's glow upon her while she changed.Her pale skin ( a result of being raised underground and out of sunlight) seemed to glow with the moon's lent light. Rhyth settled herself onto the couch, fully set in an argument with herself. She would not go back to Yoyo and plead for him to hold her and comfort her. He really sucked at it anyway.
'But there's Poison Jam...' remarked the annoying voice of protest in her heart. She would not go back there. She didn't belong anymore.
'What about all the other GG males?' it replied again. They would not accept her.She didn't know where they were anyway.
'What about Corn? He'd never know. He's asleep.' .The thought brought a crash of regret onto her mind for even thinking that. She would not be so pathetic, as to try to get comfort from someone asleep.Besides, what if she were caught? She wouldn't do it. She would just look a little, that's all. Rhyth's chin was resting on the arm of the couch while she peered at the sleeping figure beneath the sheets.
'Too thin. He looks incredibly frail and weak.' one thought surfaced.
'But I'm the same way.Yoyo said so, but he told me I was very-' the thought stopped in mid air. The hunger had only grown and she quietly surpressed it by lowering her head onto the couch again and curling up to hold herself.

"Mama! I'm home! You won't believe it too, I got you a pretty flower too!"a young boy said as he stomped in the door with muddy shoes.The little boy had bright blue eyes, but bruises around his shoulder. His tame blond hair was like his mother's only strangely brighter yet darker.His mommy always told him he had his daddy's hair-she hated it. In fact, she hated everything about him.Even when he brought her flowers, she would still hit him and yell at him. That's how he got the bruises. But that was how his mommy showed him she loved him. She was just confused, that was all. Or so the little boy had thought.
"Mama?Mama where are you?" he called, unnerved by the silence.He opened the door to the bathroom quickly, expecting that his mama was playing hide and seek. "Mama!That was too easy! You gots to hide in the shower, not hang like that.And you're all blue, you're not the right colour!"The child went on, he had no idea.
"Mama...?Mama, can you hear me..?". His eyes widened. A high pitched scream was heard all over the apartment building, the child now knew the truth. She hanged herself because she hated him so much.He always knew that she would someday...
"Yoyo?Are you okay?" Gum brought him out of his memory.
"I'm fine,"he said slyly. "It's lucky that Corn has to baby-sit Rhyth, now we have so much time together,".
~~!!~~
It wasn't quite day yet.Rhyth gently rested her chin on the arm of the couch, and saw that Corn wasn't still in bed.She turned the other way with a sigh and noticed he was right beside her.He was dressed, looking down at her.She tried to stop herself but she reached out-
"Rhyth wake up," said a dull voice.Rhyth's eyes opened suddenly.Corn stood beside her and she was tightly gripping his shirt.Trying to hide her blush she let go and pulled the blankets around her face.She turned away, looking to the back of the couch. She expected him to leave, but she heard him sit on the floor. She hoped he wouldn't say anything, hoped she wouldn't have to reply...she didn't want to explain her dream. "Rhyth, you've had one day, it's time you tell me about your history with Poison Jam,".
"Corn...I don't remember very well.I can't remember anything."Rhyth said, closing her eyes.She hated reopening an old wound.She couldn't even remember.
"How do you know their speech?"he asked shortly.
"I don't know. I just understand."she said. "It's natural to me."
"Why did Cube spare you?" he asked.
"I don't know." she answered. She was irritated.
"Why does Cube want me to keep an eye on you?"he asked.
"Because Yoyo tried to kill me, you saw him," she said.
"What are your relations with Cube and Poison Jam?" he demanded.
"Listen, I DON'T REMEMBER OKAY?!"she said angrily, turning to him at last and sitting up in a whirlwind of movement.They were nose-to-nose as she snarled. "I can't remember any of my past, okay?!". His stubborn look did not leave.She was getting angry.
"I know you remember.Your nightmares are obviously a result of something in your past,"he said, not giving up. He would get to the bottom of this even if she scratched his eyes out which she seemed like she would find that enjoyable right about now.
Rhyth snarled in a Poison Jam like way and stalked to the window.She was in a T-shirt and boxers. She didn't bother to change and tied up her skates in fury at Corn's laughter.She grinded up the pole and began to skate and let the surroundings blur.She didn't care much to stop, she just needed to clear her head.
'Who does he think he is?!' she thought indignantly.
