Author's Notes: This fic was inspired by "Sweet Dreams" and "The Beautiful People" by Marilyn Manson. The stuff in Italics is a poem I did for this chapter. And when it come t making up names I really suck at it., but any wasy if any were wondering when "Sweet Dreams" was coming into play in this fic. All I can say is that it's coming. I'll shut up now and be on the show now.

Chapter VIII

Rock Bottom

(Kouji)

I walked for a while. I need to cool off. The little explosion I had with my father was just a little of the hate I have toward him. As I walk I couldn't help but notice what part of town I was in. I used to have a friend who lived in this area. Kusonagi, Omini. I went to grade school and nearly all of middle school with him, then for some odd reason he just stopped coming and I only heard from him every once and a while. I still hear from him every now and then, but I haven't spoken to him in about sever or eight months now.

I want to get my mind off of my present situation and see if he was still living in his old house. As I walked on I came to his old house and just as I was walking up to the steps.

"Can I help you?" a male figure asked.

"Yeah I'm looking for someone. The last I heard they lived hear."

"Well this is my house and only my mother and I live hear, but I might know the person. Got a name for them?"

"Yeah, Kusonagi Omini"

The other boy looked slightly shocked. "That's me. Who are you?"

I was kinda taken aback. He has changed throughout the years so much. He's no longer the scrawny little kid everybody picked on any more. He was just taller than I am, with a muscular build, but yet not overly bulky though. He had short spiky jet-black hair, aquarimine eyes. He was wearing baggy blue jeans and a red T-shirt with a black tribal on it. I figured he must be thinking the same about me though he doesn't recognize me.

"I'm Minamoto Kouji. I used to go to school with you"

He looked shock again, but then looked at me hard, and then with a smirk he said "Well no shit. I haven't seen ya in years. Man you've changed a lot."

"You have too I didn't even recognize you."

"Well excuse me where are my manners."

"Come on in and chill out for a while."

"I'd like that." I say glad I had something to occupy my mind at the time.

I followed Omini into the house and he showed me the couch, "Have a seat" he said I say a thank you and sat down.

"Wanna drink?" he asks

"Yeah whacha got," I ask

He walks over to the frig and peeps in. "Let's see… soda, water, Smirnoff, and Sky vodka. "

"Smirnoff will do."

He brings two back and sit beside me on the couch handing me my drink.

(Takuya)

It was 12 at night, and I had to rush out to the store for some cold medicine. Shinya had taken a sudden cold and had a Temperature. On my way back I noticed a figure. They were stumbling around like they were drunk. As I neared he recognized the figure.

"Kouji?" I called out.

The person stumbled turning around.

"T,Takuuya" Kouji said drunkenly "Wacha doing out this time a day"

"Kouji" I started very seriously "why are you drunk"

"Ya know, I don't rlly kno, know. I was at a frends house, I had we had a few drinks then I the next thng I real, reali, know, I'm wakn up on his couch. Then I decide I wanted to go home, so I left. But the shit kicker is tha I cnnot remember where home is right now" after the statement Kouji stumbled and fell flat on his ass "DAMMIT WHY WON'T EVERYTHING STOP MOVIN!!!" He yelled out

"Because you shit-faced drunk" I stated a little more than ticked off "Come on I'm taking you to my house. You're in no condition to be out wondering around."

"Whateva" Kouji said with a shrug of his shoulders.

I Put one of Kouji's arms over his shoulder and started the awkward journey home. After stopping a few time to let Kouji puke, they finally made it to my home.

"Mom Kouji's staying the night!" I called to her

"Whatever" she called back.

I took Kouji into my room so he could lie down, and then went for the aspirin and a cup of hot chocolate. I knew that Kouji would need this in the morning. Upon my return to my room Kouji had relocated himself from the bed to a chair over by the window. He was starring intently out into the night. I wondered what he was thinking about.

"Here" I said holding out the hot chocolate for him to take.

He didn't turn.

"Kouji, I brought you some hot chocolate"

I noticed his shoulders start to shake, and I heard a sniffle.

I put the hot chocolate down on my desk, came behind Kouji, and put my hands on his shoulders.

"How" he started choking back sobs, "how can… you… not hat me? He said as I saw the tears running down his face through the reflection in the glass.

"Because I could never hate you, Ever."

"How?" He turned to me with a tear stricken face

"Because" I start, getting on my knees in front of him so we could be eye to eye "I love you"

I was weird the way he looked at me. He was smiling through his tears. He leaned toward me. I could feel his breath on my face as he leaned in closer. H brushed his lips against mine. I froze fro a second, and has he stayed I pushed back crushing our lips together. As we parted he fell in front of me on his knees also, and buried his face in my chest.

"Please Takuya, don't let me go"

"…don't worry… I won't"

As Kouji clung to me I managed to pick him up and place in my bed. As I laid beside I held him and he still clung to me for dear life, and then… we drifted off in to the land of dreams.

A/N: Ladies and Gents, Kouji had now hit rock bottom. There's only one way to go now. Once again, many apologies for taking so long to put this out. And once again if you were to ask me where this is going? I still don't have a fucking clue.

Anyways
