CHAPTER ONE: part 1. . . . . . . . . . . . .
This Is Not The Life I Lead.
Yuki exhaled the smoke from her cigarette. She knew the nicotine would hook her yet again, but she didn't care. Her life was so screwed up, and out of control. Her cell phone rang. "Hello!" she answered, about to drop it.
"Yeah, hi." It was Yusuke. The ditz of a best friend, but the only one she had. She tossed her cigarette to the ground, and put it out. "What are you doing?"
"What am I doing? Not getting any R&R today, that's for sure." She told him, sarcastically.
"I'm just checking up, because I saw that new kid walking that way."
"He's no problem." She brushed it off. He was caring, and sometimes a bit too much.
"Okay, Just be careful walking home."
She hung up, then turned her cell off. Who cares what he think? She took another death-stick, and sucked in the smoke. After the burning sensation got to the end, she put it out, and began to walk out of the alley she stood, but there he was. She rolled her eyes-annoyed.
"What the hell are you doing!" He yelled, even more annoyed then she was. "I thought you quit!"
"I did...it's just, Yusuke, you don't understand what I'm going through, this is the only thing that cuts the tension away! You don't understand me, or my life, so just stay out of it!" She stormed away-with no other words. He got to her-he always did.
She smoked partly because he loves Kayko, and partly because he would only ever see her as a friend. And that killed her. Her father walked out, and her mother died in a car accident. The only life she knew was of an orphan's.
She got home, to her trailer. He dad left it, and she's been living in it since.
"I'm home." she called to her picture of her best friend who came to Tokyo as an exchange student. She moved back home a while ago. So her list of friends is now at two. She knew it wouldn't respond, but she didn't care.
She checked the cupboards. Cobwebs. It didn't help her problem of only being skin and bones either.
She sat on her futon, and thought of how she met Yusuke. Kurama was tutoring her one day, and Yusuke just happened to be at Meiou. Why? Well it turns out they're friends, and co-workers...whatever that means.
Her stomach growled, bringing her back to reality. She checked her alarm clock, and went to sleep. For she had to work at 5am.
After work it was school. And after school it was maybe food, a cigarette, and sleep. Maybe.
She was walking home, and there was Yusuke-right at her side. Lecturing her about smoking.
"I don't care." she chanted in a whisper. But her went on. He made her kind of angry.
"I don't care that you don't care!" He yelled, grabbing her by the shoulders.
"Let go of me!" she tried to remove his grip from her arms. She lost balance, and fell to the ground. It was like her eyes poured the blood her heart wouldn't pump. Yusuke didn't know about her parents. Yusuke didn't know that she lived in a trailer. Yusuke didn't even know she was a ice apparition. So much that he knows.
