I love all you guys!! You guys all rock I was reading every review I ever got for this story and it made me want to really update So, here I am typing. Also, I got back together with my koi the day after I posted the last chapter, so no worries, I'm fine!

This chapter goes to all who wanted more explanations. Also, this chapter gives Mrs. Inakura a little spotlight for someone who asked about it.

Also, sorry if I have mistakes. This chapter wasn't beta-ed either (like the last) because my koi didn't give me the chappie back soon enough. ; And I'm impatient....and she's gonna be gone for a week with her cousin in a cabin.

So, without further adieu, I give you

Under the Same Roof --chappie'tan 8

-------------------------------------

The next morning found Riku tightening a belt around his arm as he clenched his teeth. This was the first time he'd ever used a syringe for heroin. However, he had seen other people use them, and was simply following what they had done.

Once he had injected the heroin, he instantly felt it taking effect. Sucking in a deep breath, Riku dropped the syringe to the floor.

All thought were emptied from his head. He didn't care about anything, nothing mattered. Riku didn't worry if Johnson would come in his bedroom at night to fuck him, perhaps even fuck him while he was sleeping.

No, Riku didn't have thoughts like that when the heroin kicked in, and that's why he took it. He knew it could kill him, he wasn't stupid, just needed an escape.

And was so desperate, he took all the wrong escapes. Like the heroin, going out on some nights with Shikano to make some money, and occasionally seeing Cloud.

True that Riku hated being fucked, and that's what made him worry when he visited Cloud. He began to think Johnson was right about what he told him....but he couldn't be, right?

Riku had none of these thoughts though, only stared blankly at the ceiling for a hour or so. That is, until he leaned over his bed quickly and emptied his stomach's contents into the garbage can next to his night stand.

"Fuck..."Riku mumbled to himself.

Some hours later, Riku emerged from his room finding the house oddly quiet. Usually Roku's giggles, or loud voice filled the houses' halls. Or atleast some kind of noise. However, the house was completely void of any noise.

He walked down the stairs, finding his mom folding laundry in the living room.

"Where'd everyone go?" He asked, looking as if he could care less if everyone died,and the bodies had just disappeared.

"Sora took Roku out for ice cream, Hinoki is out shopping, and your father is at a business meeting." Mrs. Inakura replied softly, while not looking up from her folding.

Riku's fists clenched as soon as he heard his mother say the word 'father.'

"He's not my father," Riku growled, "So stop calling him that. You poison Roku's mind by calling him that you know."

Lilly Inakura sighed, "Riku, honey, I wish you would just accept him as your father. He's-"

"Don't even say that! How can you ask me to accept him when you know what he does to me?! However, you don't care in the slightest, or else you probably would have done something about it the moment he layed a finger on me.!"

Lilly's eyes swelled with tears that threatened to fall. "Riku," she said softly, "Come here."

Riku growled in annoyance, but walked over to his mother, and fell to his knees, so that he was facing her.

"You know I love you." His mother stated, embracing him tightly.

"No you don't," Came the mumbled reply, "You haven't done a thing, or said a thing to Johnson to make him stop, you just brush it off as a normal thing. And so, that's what it's become."

There was a long pause before Riku stood up, and glared down at his mother. "You may like the way he fucks you, but I don't want him laying a fucking finger on me. I never have, and I don't know how I gave him the opposite impression."

Without saying anything more, Riku walked back upstairs to his room. Lilly heard the door slam shut very clearly as the sound echoed through the house.

Sora sighed to himself. He hadn't seen Riku ever since the last little....incident with him, but maybe that was a good thing. Right?

'Then why do I want to see him again, I know I think he's hot, and he is. But, this is just ridiculous!' Sora thought to himself, while growing very frustrated.

"Stupid sex god.(1)" Sora mumbled to himself, again not noticing he was about to walk straight into someone.

"Sorry," Sora squeaked, looking up into the cold aquamarine eyes of none other than, Riku.

However, Riku merely raised one eyebrow at Sora's mumbling to himself and asked, "Who happens to be a sex god around here?"

"N-nobody! Listen, Riku, about the other night..." Sora said ignoring the sex god subject, and now tapping his fingers together.

"Forget it," Riku said simply. "It never happened."

"Right," Sora replied quietly, staring down at the ground.

Riku sighed in frustration before saying, "Sora, I wanted to know if you wanted to hang out tomorrow. If you have nothing to do."

Why was he asking the other boy this, he didn't know. It just kind of popped out of his mouth really.

Sora looked up in surprise and blinked, "Uhh...sure."

Riku nodded before walking off, leaving a slightly confused Sora behind.

Sora blinked, kind of dazed, and turned around only to see a little silver haired girl holding a bunny.

Sora screamed in surprise before calming himself down. "Jeez Roku, don't do that! You almost gave me a heart attack."

The little girl continued to stare at him and tilted her head to the side. "My brother just said he wanted to hang out with you tomorrow."

Sora didn't get what was so special about that. "Umm, yeah?"

Suddenly, he jumped back when the little girl squealed. She bounced up and down happily, before hugging Sora chanting 'Thank you, thank you' then ran off into her room.

"That was odd. This day is just getting stranger and stranger," Sora mused to himself. Deciding he would go play some PlayStation.
