XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Riku and I came to a stop as we turned into a dark alleyway. I hopped off the bike and pulled off my helmet trying not to gag. Not from the ride but from the smell.
"You okay Sora?" Riku asked as he came up to me and caressed my cheek. I could feel my face burning so I looked away and nodded briefly. I wish he'd stop doing that. I've already blushed for a lifetime ever since I've met him.
Riku grabbed my hand again for the billionth time today and dragged me around the corner. What have I suddenly turned into a rag doll that must be continually attached to his hand? I swear he's really a six-year-old girl in disguise. I looked up at Riku's bouncing silver locks, smirking to myself as I imagined them in bunches tied up with pink bows.
I'll get him back for dragging me around like this. Maybe face paint his head green or something, heh or I could ev-
"Hey Sora. How old are you anyway?"
I looked up at him totally bewildered and quickly said "Seventeen"
"Perfect"
What was all that about?? I pushed it aside and put it down to Riku not having very good communication skills while I looked around to where we were.
Not a lot to see. Just some run down flats covered in graffiti and litter. I wonder why they call it Angel City anyway? It's not very angelic if parts of it looked like this dump.
We stopped outside a small shabby looking building. The door...or what was left of it, was hanging off rusted hinges swaying slightly every now and again. The words 'Die in hell mother fucker' was sprayed in red over one of the boarded up windows.
I swallowed hard. Why had Riku brought me here? Oh no. Was...Was he gonna leave me here then ride back to his flat on his motorcycle? I looked up at him slowly, fear clearly evident in my eyes. He looked down and squeezed my hand he was holding in a comforting manner.
"Don't worry Sora. I won't let anyone hurt you." He said with a reassuring smile and led me down the path.
But could I trust him? I've barely known him a day and already he's giving me shelter, a place to sleep, food and water. But how long was that going to last? He's a complete stranger to me just like his sister. Maybe it's all just an act. Maybe he really doesn't care about me...just like everyone else. My life is so fucked up!
I have to leave...and soon.
But I can't run right now. Riku has my stuff and muni at his apartment. Along with that the twat won't let go of my friggin hand! Shit. This is just peachy.
When we entered the building, it smelled worse in here than it did outside. The concrete floor was half covered in piss and discoloured water. Looked like more people had been living in the corridors and on the stairs than in the flats. Every now and then I spotted a few empty syringes.
We descended the stairs up to the third floor. Halfway up I had to hold my nose when I saw what looked like a turd in the corner...a human one. Ugh just how disgusting has humanity become?
I think something died on the carpet in the hallway on this floor. That's if you'd call it a carpet anyway...it looks like dark grey mould stuck to the concrete with tuffs of red fur on top. I tried to pull away but Riku tugged on my hand forcing me across the squelching furry mush. It smelled of wet dog. If it sticks to my shoes the prat can buy me new ones.
I was going to ask him what we were doing here but he'd probably give me the same 'conditioning ourselves' shit again. What the fuck does that mean anyway?? The other reason I didn't ask him was because I didn't want to choke on the turd and piss smells intoxicating the last of my oxygen from the so called furry carpet sludge under my feet.
When we stopped outside a green door, he knocked on it waiting patiently. Inside I heard a few chosen curse words spoken and a number of locks being unlatched. Before the last few locks were opened Riku quickly whispered in my ear;
"If they ask you how old you are just say your eighteen and tell them to fuck off every now and again, that'll shut them up"
"Huh?"
I was about to ask him why but didn't get the chance when the door opened to reveal a red headed girl with short spiky hair, not looking much older than Riku. Nearly every inch of her ears were pierced along with two rings in both her eyebrows and her bottom lip. Under her mouth was a small purple metallic spike. She had light brown-green eyes surrounded by thick black eyeliner in the shape of how the Egyptians wore it. She looked almost oriental with her lightly tanned skin, large chubby nose and round face. All in all she looked pretty fit in her baggy black jeans and halter neck top which was surprisingly...black as well.
"Jenna!" Riku said happily, but I knew he was being false. "How's the baby?"
"Decomposing in a rubbish dump somewhere, I had an abortion." She replied this all too calmly which was amazing since my mom told me what happens when women have abortions. I shuddered at the thought.
At this statement Riku's face fell. "Oh, I'm uh so sor-"
"Don't be." She snapped then looked at me eyes furrowing. "Who's the new fuck? I thought you were still going out with Alyx?"
Why does everyone I meet seem to think Riku's fucking me? It's getting on my nerves! And who's Alyx anyway??
"Uh Alyx? He um left last week. Oh and this is Sora." He answered nervously, introducing me with a gesture of his hand. "Sora, this is Jenna-Rai. An old friend."
"Watch it weed, I'm not much older than you." She casually crossed her arms over her chest and leant on her right side against the peeling doorframe. "What do you want anyway? I'm all out if you forced your fat ass all the way over here just for some 'stuff'"
'Stuff"? What did she mean by that? And why did she call him weed? Maybe all those piercings are screwing with her brain.
Riku cast me a nervous glance, chuckling lightly and said "Uh I've got some stash left at my house, hopefully Erin hasn't found it yet. Sora here needs a job and a new face"
Jenna-Rai looked me over, up and down then smirked, winking. "You sure he'll look old enough?" She asked looking back at Riku. "Travis might have to do three, four tops. Maybe some inking too."
What the FUCK is she on about!??? Three or four of what!??? Inking what!? This is so confusing!
"Sure whatever" Riku replied as Jenna let us in. "He still needs to finish the one on my back."
Jenna quickly left us in the living room to go wake up Travis...whoever he was. The flat had a warm cosy feeling to it. Deep blue carpets stained with what looked like cigarette holes and paint splashes. There wasn't a lot of furniture, just a TV, black leather couch with a zodiac throw over covering it. Two full bookcases of different sized books and a small mahogany coffee table with round fat candles lit. Their wax dripping onto the dark wooden surface, joining together to make one big mass of creamy white.
"Wanna sit down?" Riku asked smiling at me. He was about to pull me with him over to the couch but I snatched my hand away glaring at him. I don't care how hurt he looked when I let go of his hand. I don't care how cute he looked with his dreamy greeny-blue eyes. I had been left in the dark for long enough, I NEED answers!!! "What's wrong Sora?"
"What's wrong?" I whispered hatefully. "What's wrong is that I don't know where the FUCK we are or why we're here! Who's Travis? What am I going to get three or four things of? What am I going to get inked? And what the HELL kind of job are you getting me?"
"Whoa. What crawled up your arse and died?" Riku chuckled. "Travis is an old friend, since high school and don't worry about your job, it pays good money...for doing nothing."
What the fuck did he mean by that? There's no job in the world that pays you for doing nothing! "What am I getting?"
"Huh? Oh in here? Don't worry about that just some mino-"
"Riku you son of a bitch!"
I turned around to see a giant. Literally the guy was so tall you had to stretch your neck up to see what colour was his eyes. He had a messy, short, bright green mohawk. Black emo glasses resting on a slightly hooked nose. His face was kinda pale but it was broad and masculine. If you could get close enough, you might be able to spot tiny white scars below his bottom lip and his ears. He only had one grey sock on and...oh god no, um yeah dark blue boxes with yellow rubber ducks.
"What the fuck are you doing here my man?" He asked smiling. He walked up to Riku, who had got up off the couch without me knowing, and hugged him.
"You gotta finish my back dude, and Sora here needs some spike and ink work"
The tall guy who I now assumed to be Travis looked over at me with soft hazel eyes. "You sure he needs work done? I reckon he looks cute enough without it." He said walking over to me. I started to cower under him...he's really, really tall!
"Yeah I know Trav. But he need's it for work. You know how the boss man is. He's too picky." Riku replied casually while walking up next to face me as well. He smirked at me with dreamy eyes. "I reckon, slug, bottom petal and the left archer. What do you think?"
Travis lifted up my head with his thumb and forefinger on my chin while staring at me questionably. "I think that'd look mint on him. But what about the inking?"
"If he can't choose for himself then I'll pick for him." Riku replied smirking at my look of confusion. "Now come on Trav I haven't got all day, you need to do the blood on my back!"
"Alright alright! Chill man. Come on sora I'll take you into my parlour of pain" Travis chuckled evilly at me as he disappeared to the right hand side of the living room behind a curtain of tiny plastic cannabis leaves.
Nervously I followed hoping that he meant his ice-cream parlour of brain freezes and not real pain. Luckily for me I was totally wrong.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Amazingly I have the courage to sit in an old worn down, blood stained dentist chair while Travis next to me sterilizes the needles he's going to use...on me. I don't know why Riku want's me to have my slug (tongue), bottom petal (bottom lip) and left archer (left eyebrow) pierced, but he said it's the only way for me to get a job with him.
I don't know why I'm going through with this. Not many people on my ex-island had any body piercings or tattoos. I think Tidus had his nipple done but I can't remember anyone else who had. They've always fascinated me for some strange reason. I get it from my dad's side...whoever he was anyway. Will I ever find out? I don't think so, and do I want to know him? No! Good riddance to a weirdo who fucks my mom and gets her pregnant.
I may look slightly calm and ok on the outside but on the inside I'm crapping myself.
"Okay Sora" Travis said turning round to face me on his swivel chair. "Left archer first"
I gulped so loudly I swear I heard Riku snicker behind me! I gave Travis a faint smile and a nod to let him know I was ok. 'Get a grip Sora' I told myself.
I felt a wet soft material scrub my left eyebrow. All I could see was Travis' face and his large white gloved hand moving quickly above my left eye. Next he used what looked like a felt tip pen to mark out where my eyebrow piercing would go.
"Does that look okay Riku?" He asked behind me. Riku who was also sitting on a swivel chair scooted around to take a look. He nodded quickly to Travis while staring at me. Travis then started to massage my eyebrow with his thumb and index finger. It felt really strange but helped me to relax a little.
Once he stopped and turned around to get his 'instruments', Riku smiled at me winking while I meekly nodded and licked my lips nervously. Travis finally turned around again to face me with what looked like a pair of large metal tweezers in one hand and a large needle in the other. I gulped for the second time.
Riku had to move out of the way but I felt his fingers intertwine with mine for support. Thank god he was there, but wait...what am I thinking! He's the one who wanted me to do this. If I had the strength I'd chop his balls off. Even though I kinda hated him for making me go through with this it was still nice to squish his fingers once in awhile for revenge!
Travis was drawing nearer towards my face. Before I knew it I felt something pinch my left eyebrow, pulling it foreword a tiny bit. Next I saw the large thin needle right in front of my eye. It looked like a skyscraper! As it pierced my skin I felt a sharp stinging, almost numbing pain above my eye.
I closed my right eye in pain while squeezing Riku's fingers in the process trying not to yell. I bit my lip so hard I could've drawn blood. I felt the needle being taken out then a cool ring of metal go through just where the needle had been. It was almost a blinding pain but I tried not to scream, I still had two more piercings to go through and a tattoo!
"All done. You okay Sora?" Travis asked smiling at his handiwork.
"Yeah I'm fine" I replied quietly. It's just that I a have a throbbing pain in my left eyebrow, a tooth-shaped dent in my bottom lip from biting it so hard and I think I've squished Riku's fingers into mush!
"Hey Sora that looks pretty cool" Riku said rolling along the floor up to me. "Take a look!" He held up a small oval mirror in front of me. My eyebrow looked really red and sore with the silver ring and ball through it. It felt like hell. I just hope the other piercings aren't as painful.
The next piercings were okay but still painful. Travis said they'd be the quickest to heal. He pierced my tongue first. First he gave me a cup of pink liquid to wash my mouth out with. It had a strange taste that I couldn't place at all. Next I had to poke out my tongue while he attached a drool tray under my mouth. He dabbed my tongue dry and used the felt tip pen again to mark where the barbell would go.
Then death! Not really but I nearly died when I saw the size of the needle. He used the large tweezers again, which he called clamps and pulled out my tongue with it. I could already feel myself drooling. It was so embarrassing, especially with Riku constantly watching me!
You'd think that they push the needle down from top to bottom, but no! They have to be difficult! Bastards! My eyes widened in shock as I felt the needle pierce the bottom of my tongue right to the top. After that came mind numbing pain and blood, oh and the barbell following the needle through the hole in my tongue.
For the second time that day I don't think Riku felt his hand or his fingers.
"Jen! Bring in some toilet paper babe!" Riku shouted through the beaded curtains. To my right now they looked like green spiked blurs. I squeezed my eyes shut trying to stop them from watering.
A couple of minutes later Jenna-Rai was wiping my chin and mouth, getting rid of most of the drool and blood leaking freely from my mouth.
"Maybe we should take a break. Sora looks a bit peaky man." Travis commented, looking at me with concerned eyes.
"Nuo!" I slurred as if I was pissed. Was it me or did my tongue feel bigger than before? I wanted to get through this as quickly as possible.
"It's your choice mate" He replied smirking. No 'mate' I believe it was Riku's choice. But I'll be too doped on Ibrufen tablets for the pain and swelling of my tongue to even remember what actually happened here. The worst part is I'm gonna have to live on ice-cream, soft foods and suck on ice cubes now and again. Crap I'm going to be starving!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
One more piercing and a large painful tattoo on my back later we arrived at Riku's apartment again. I feel really sleepy. Riku doesn't look too good either. On is back he had large black devil wings from his shoulders to the tip of his butt. All Travis had to do was draw on the blood where the wings produced from his back. It looked amazing, but I had to be pretty careful on the ride home not to cling onto him so tightly. Pretty damn hard if you ask me.
Riku picked my tattoo for me since I couldn't concentrate on the design book they handed me, with all the pain on my face. I still can't remember if it was a bunny or a scorpion, or maybe something bigger? I don't know. Whatever it is I'll find out tomorrow.
We walked past Erin's room. She had put up a large poster saying 'Knock and die fag's'. Nice. Who knew little pregnant teenagers could be so sweet and welcoming.
I stumbled into Riku's room with him still holding onto my hand. I think we got super glued together or something. I squeezed my eyes shut again and blinked a few times while taking a look around his room. Surprisingly it was tidy with some clothes on the floor here and there.
The most amazing thing that I thought was in his room though was his bed. It was in the middle of the bedroom with a black metal twisted headboard and a dark blue checkered quilt. The quilt looked warm, fluffy and inviting. We walked over to it, kicking our shoes off in the process and scrambled slowly under the covers.
The quilt was cold to the touch. But I didn't care; my head was already sinking into the soft feather pillows. I felt Riku move away from me for a moment, but he still didn't let go of my hand. I heard a soft clicking noise and the pressing of several buttons. I then realised he was phoning someone when he started talking.
"Hey It's me. I can't-" He coughed loudly. "I Can't come in tonight, I'm ill." He said with a fake sicky voice. "All right I'll come into tomorrow if I feel any better. Talk to you soon, bye."
"Who was that?" I asked in a sleepy voice when I heard him put the phone down and snuggle closer to me, so close our noses were about a centimetre apart.
"My boss. He'll buy anything. I'll ask him about the job on Monday night okay?" He asked yawning, closing his eyes.
I yawned in response then frowned. "Hey didn't you just say that you were going in tomorrow?"
I saw Riku peek one eye open smirking at me. "Erin and I have a gig tomorrow night so I'll just say I'm ill again"
"Oh" I said but then it turned into a yawn. I hate it when that happens. I looked up again at Riku with his eyes closed, his back rising steadily since he was laying his belly with his arms tucked under his pillow.
All thoughts of running away earlier this afternoon I think have disappeared...for now anyway. I don't want to ever leave. Pushing the throbbing pain aside I let my dreams take over, but not before my stomach growled with hunger.
I frowned my eyes in frustration as all my thoughts and dreams started to focus on food and my empty stomach. All I've had today was one pancake! Riku and Erin ate all the rest. Pigs.
I opened my eyes and shook Riku on the shoulder lightly.
"Mmmwha? Sora? What's wrong?"
"I'm hungry"
Riku grinned slowly with his eyes still sleepy and said; "Okay. I'll get the chocolate sauce and sprinkles, you get the ice-cream out of the freezer."
