Chapter two: Sugar in the morning (yeah right!)
Kai woke from the cold and pulled the old worn jacket closer around his body. He opened his eyes slowly only to see the same grey clouds he had seen the day before, and the day before that. And the day before that, every day in one or two weeks actually, and it was driving him mad. He closed his eyes so he could enjoy the darkness behind his eyelids for a little longer, but alas, the light forced its way through his eyelids. Kai opened his eyes again and sighed, he wished the night could last forever. But, knowing the sun, that would not happen in his lifetime. He snickered bitterly. In his life time, which would mean forever, unless some vampire-slayer got him, which was quite unlikely as they were quite rare and to think that they would bother with him, a low-class vampire that didn't do much damage compared to many other vampires. He snickered sourly again, as if anyone would pay to get him killed, sure, other than the drug dealers he had no real enemies and he had dealt with them already.
"Hey, kid" a voice came drifting down to him from somewhere above him, however, Kai chose to ignore it.
"Kiddo, I'm talking to you!" the same voice came, louder this time and suddenly something kicked Kai in his side, making him grunt slightly from the unexpected pain. Kai looked up, shadowing his face with one arm to shield from the strong light. Four tall figures were silhouetted against the clear blue sky.
"What?" he asked sourly, it was partly their fault that he was in a bad mood; he hated to be disturbed early in the morning, not to talk about kicked around, literally. Needless to say, he was not a person to take such treatment of himself lightly. So, not being one to want to be in a disadvantageous position when facing people he disliked, he rose. These persons made his skin crawl and he was quite a bit angry at the one that had kicked him. Not only did he strongly dislike them, but he had also the feeling that they were quite dangerous, even to him. He eyed them.
The one who had kicked him was not very tall, but he was chubby and obviously made up for the lack of height with his muscles. His clothes were rough and a bit bleached from being out in the light very often, the same way as his skin was dark for the same reasons. The black, almost short, spiky hair had obviously been tried to be brushed back, but had only ended up more messed up. The bleached clothes, he discovered, resembled the others' clothes, lilac and grey. Kai wondered a bit about that, it seemed like some kind of codex that they had to follow, like their clothes having the same colour. However, what struck Kai the most were the crazed glint in his eyes. He didn't seem like a mad person, or at lest he didn't sound like one when he talked, but the glint in the eye and something odd in his behaviour made Kai suspicious that something here was a little off.
The one next to him was an even smaller blonde. The light blonde hair was too brushed back, but unlike the other one this one had actually accomplished his goal. His skin-colour was definitely the fairest of the four; it was so white that he couldn't get any lighter colour unless he died. As Kai already had discovered his clothes was lilac and grey, almost identical to the others'. Again Kai was struck by a crazed gleam in this one's eyes too, but somehow it seemed stronger in him. Kai's bad feeling grew.
The third was, surprisingly, a girl. Her head was red and spiky on top, while some still hung down her back. It was long, he noticed, so long that she could almost sit on it. Also in her eyes was there a glint of madness, but not as strong as in any of the others, which puzzled Kai a bit, did it mean that she was less crazed than the others, or did it mean that she had been mad for a shorter time? Both he supposed.
Lastly, his eyes turned to a boy that was around his own height. The boy's hair was dark blue, almost the same blue colour that covered ½ of Kai's two toned hair, and quite long and very spiky. Kai didn't even want to think about how much hair-gel the boy used every day. As the girl, his skin-colour was something in the middle of the first one and the smallest boy.
"Give us your drugs" the black-haired one said, he was obviously not one to beat around the bush.
"Hn" Kai responded, not on his life would he give them his drugs, after all, two persons had already died for them. He snorted in irony, as if that really mattered. Taking one step back he wondered what his chances were to avoid a fight; quickly he viewed the situation and concluded that the chances were as good as zero.
"Goki!" the redheaded girl spoke up "Perhaps he doesn't have any drugs" The black-haired one that had kicked Kai didn't bother turn around to face her, but answered her without taking his eyes off Kai. So his name was Goki".
"Oh he's got drugs, Sarima, he's got drugs. Trust me, I've seen his type before" was the short reply the redheaded girl, obviously named Sarima, got. She looked a bit frustrated at his answer, perhaps she didn't wholly agree with the others about this? Kai shrugged, he could care less. Before the two of them could get into an argument the blue-haired boy stepped forth and addressed his companions:
"Enough" the he turned to Kai. "So are you going to hand over the drugs willingly, or…?" he asked. Kai snorted in his mind, yeah right, as if!
"Hn" was all he said, shaking his head slightly; it was obviously the wrong answer according to the gang. Goki's eyes narrowed and started to turn red. 'oh oh…' Kai thought.
This wasn't good; there was a fairly big chance that he wouldn't make it out of this alive. Not that that sounded like a bad thing, but still it worried him though he couldn't say why. Maybe it was because he was a fighter; he wouldn't give up everything so fast. It was almost enough to make him laugh. As if he hadn't done so already, he knew the world had nothing more to give other than more of this damn misery he had. That was why he went on drugs, dammit. He knew he was contradicting himself, but it couldn't be helped, whatever it was it hindered him from taking the easy way out.
He gritted his teeth. If those guys had been normal, he wouldn't have worried so much about it, then he could have beat them easily, but these guys weren't normal, they were like him.
Suddenly he felt something punch him in his stomach and it was all he could do not to cry out in pain. The little blonde one whom he didn't know the name of had suddenly and without warning launched himself at Kai with the other three just behind.
Rei's view
Rei was walking home from work; he had worked overtime again as usual. He always did as he found it really easy to loose himself in the overload of work that existed in the office he worked in. He needed to loose himself as he found reality too harsh and so he did what he could to ignore all and everything that was happening, overworking himself made him too tired to care about much more and he was blissfully able to forget the world as he went through the papers, sorting them out in the different categories and such. Yes he knew that most people would find his work dead boring, but he liked it as he wasn't working with anything that reminded him of reality, what was really going on in the world, all the daily violence-cases or the all the corruption that was starting to surface amongst the politicians and in some of the biggest companies, all the pointless deaths of hundreds of millions of people that had died the same death as his father and mother.
No, he stopped himself. He would not think of that anymore, it was just too painful. All he had to do now was to get his sorry ass home and then he could perhaps get some sleep. He felt so tired, so tired and all he wanted was for the world to leave him in peace, but that wouldn't happen now would it? Not unless… he mused, but stopped that trail of thoughts, he wouldn't be that weak, he wouldn't give in to reality unless it killed him, as it probably would, he added.
Suddenly he heard a little noise that was interfering with his thoughts and he turned to where the sound came from and stopped dead in his tracks. In that alleyway lay a body. It was a boy a bit younger than him with hair in two shades of blue, he stopped, hadn't he seen him before somewhere? Never mind, his brain told him, the boy was bleeding from more places than one, and not all of his wounds were small, he had a huge gash in his shoulder and one in his head. Without delaying anymore Rei ran over to him.
