Mou, Why is it that I can only write stories at odd hours of the night? Why can't I be like a normal person, and write in the daytime? Oh well, here is the much awaited for? next chapter of Crimson Lines.

"Five years…are they really that blind to me, or do they just not care?" Krad questioned aloud to no one. "Really, what's the point to anything?" He stared at the knife in his hand, then at his own wrist. Should he? The thought of ending his life had come into his mind before, but it had always just been a fleeting thought, never like this, now it seemed like suicide was a way out, a promise of no more pain. Who cared what happened to him? It wasn't like he had anyone there for him, or did he? He sighed once and then made up his mind.

As he was about to try and end his pitiful existence, or so he thought it was pitiful, there was a knock at his front door.

"Oi, Krad? You home? It's Dark."

Dark. The name both made his blood boil, and calm him at the same time. Dark, the reason that he started cutting, now, his only friend in the world. Sighing once again, Krad shoved the knife under one of the couches in his living room and hastily rolled his sleeve down. "I'm here Dark, hold your horses." The blonde called, walking to the door, and nodding to the boy standing outside.

"I don't have any horses to hold, so what should I do?" Dark asked, flashing Krad a grin.

"What? No horses? Hmm…Well, that poses a problem, now, doesn't it? I guess you'll just have to leave then." Krad mused, half joking, half wishing Dark really would leave, so he could hurry up and die.

"Awwww…you really do hate me, don't you?" Dark asked, somewhat pouting, and pushing a piece of his violet hair out of his eyes.

Krad nearly snorted. "I'm not sure that hate is a strong enough word, Dark. Do you, can you even begin to realize the absolute hell that you put me through?" He closed his eyes and his voice dropped to barely a whisper. "Can you even begin to imagine…?"

Darks expression grew very subdued for a long moment. "No, I guess I can't…I'm sorry that I caused you so much pain, and…and-what is that?"

Krad blinked. "What is…what?"

"What is this?" Dark asked again, grabbing a hold of the blondes' arm, where there was now a crimson stain on his white shirt. "What happened?"

"No-nothing happened!" Krad said quickly, his head spinning at the fact of having been discovered.

"Then let me put it in better terms, shall I?" Dark hissed, pushing Krads' sleeve up and revealing the scars there. "What are you doing to yourself, and more importantly, why?"

"Why? You have the guts to ask me why? It's your fault! You! You made my life here pure hell, and this was-is my way of dealing with it, okay?" Krad spat, still wondering how, after five years…

Five years.

Five years of cutting, and he had never gotten caught. Until now.

Ooh, another cutting fic. I actually like cutting fics. Very good, I like how you used Krad instead of Satoshi, which is usually the cutter in these stories. Added to Favorites list.
