Authors notes- eenee meenee minee moe...which Muse's turn is it to go? ping...ping...ping! Moo.
Moo- I apologize for my tardiness, Miss Sakuryo. The things to note for this chapter are:
Shigure is younger than his canon counterpart. He is now around the same age as Isuzu and Hatsuharu. His surname is Uesugi. (Think Eiri) The reasoning for this is not something that I am not priveleged to reveal.
The song used is 'Cold Heritage' from Lacuna Coil's album Unleashed Memories
Now, as Isuzu was crying her eyes out at home, and Hatsuharu and Akito sat in class, Hana was with her friends. They were the kind of people some parents and religious leaders would say were going to hell. The reasons will be left to your imaginations.
One in particular was Uesugi Shigure.
Now, Shigure had a dominant personality, in more ways than one. But, he didn't have a 'pet' as he liked to call it. He was waiting for just the right one. To his surprise, Hana told him about a girl in her class, named Sumeragi Isuzu.
Hana has an eye for seeing potential. The potential for liking to recieve or dispense pain.
Hana had invited Isuzu to come and spend that friday with her, and all of her friends.
It was an opportunity that Shigure couldn't resist.
Time passes slowly when one feels guilty. If he had felt bad before, now Hatsuharu felt like he was the lowest of the low. He chose to leave school at lunch. He was going to tell Isuzu the truth, even if it killed him.
As in some towns, schools are often located near one another. This could be said for the local high school and elementary. The two were right next to one another. One could see the court yard, where Isuzu liked to be from her brothers classroom. Hiro saw his sister running, and faint. He instantly knew the cause.
"Sohma! What did you do to Rin? I thought you knew what would happen if you ever hurt her!"
Hiro was sitting on a wall along the road. He had been waiting for Haru to walk by. He jumped down, and angrily walked up to Haru.
"Shut up Hiro. You don't know a thing about whats going on."
For that remark, he recieved a glare that would make Hana proud.
"You're right. I haven't been in a relationship. But, I do know that one should NEVER make another hurt like you're making Rin. Frankly, I don't know how you could live with yourself."
Hiro just walked away, leaving Hatsuharu in shame.
As the two finished their little 'discussion', Isuzu was becoming accquainted with her newest 'friend'.
Lines of angry crimson stood out against pale skin.
She stared at the cuts she had made as the phone rang.
(You've reached the Sumeragi residence. No one is here to answer your call at the moment. Please leave your name, number and message after the beep, please. BEEP)
"Rin...Are you there? Please...I need to talk to you. I know I don't deserve it, but please, call me."
The sound of Hatsuharu's voice angered Isuzu. And yet, it made her want to hear more. She had to.
Torn between calling him, and ignoring him, Isuzu cut her wrists more. She didn't care that the cuts were nearing her arteries.
Don't tell me why
I'm so near to commit a crime
When I stay alone here in front of you
I'm here
Illusion falls when you're not honest about
The way I feel
I know I need only your voice
Saving all my words only for you
Forgive me
Saving all my words only for you
Forgive me
And I'm lonely here inside of me
Deep inside of me
Reveal the light in me
Saving all my words only for you
Forgive me
I've never ever felt my self this way before
I don't want to leave you with my tears
If you'll disappear
Believe in the light in me
