Forecast... Rain

Friday

"Now I face out I hold out I reach out to the truth of my life Seeking to seize on the whole moment, yeah." I sighed heavily. It was after school and I was trying to hunt down James or Yu. "Yeah, Naked truth lies only if you realize. Appearing in nobody's eyes till they sterilize. Stop the guerrilla warfare to keep it fair." I had school work I could have been working, instead. I didn't so much feel betrayed or anything, not like I was hunting them down. Yeah I was a little pissed yesterday... I mean come on... I was accused of murder! "Bro change your rage to a smarter greater cause, you know the stake is high stardom is near. Those who sympathized you die killers pass by. Do not waste your time in hating flirting guys. Use your might to AIs do justice to them all." So at the moment I was just looking for them to confront them about this, with my i-pod in. "Now I face out I hold out I reach out to the truth of my life. Seeking to seize on the whole moment to now break away. Oh God let me out, can you let me out, can you set me free from this dark inner world. Save me now Last beat in the soul."

I had to look like a creeper by now. This was about my third time walking around the school. I was about to give up, looking in the school, when I turned around, and once again...! Slammed face first into someone else. "Oh, god freaking damnit!"

I was getting kinda sick of doing that. Yet, when I looked up, I saw Yu holding his school books. Go figure, the one place I didn't check... the freaking library... "Um, Kreed? What are you doing?"

I quickly gripped my i-pod and paused it. "Looking for you and James... I have something I wanna talk about."

"Why both of us?"

"How come you didn't tell me you two were related?" I glared at Yu for a moment, he finally spoke up.

"Okay, yeah both of us. Got it."

Location Change:

Yasogami High to The Hill over looking town

"Okay, not gonna ask how he got this far since school ended like twenty minutes ago..." James was sitting on the bench just watch the town below. Yu sighed as we got closer and closer to him.

"You sure you wanna do this?" He seemed concerned for some reason. Why he wouldn't tell me was far beyond my compression; but hey, this was Yu we were talking about, so I didn't question it. I just walked toward James without any second thoughts.

"Hey, Skyes!?" I called out when I was closer to him. James turned around to see what the fuss was about, even if it wasn't so much of a fuss. "I have a question or two for you!"

"Bloody hell don't scare a mate like that!" I didn't think I really scared him, still I wanted to ask him the questions.

"How are you a cop?" Yes I so wanted to know this... how the hell did that happen? It did not even se-

"I'm not... I was a sort of detective back in England." That brought up more questions than it answered! Now I was really lost, how the fuck... You know what, I didn't want to know.

"What the- no, you know what, no!" I shook my head, I just wasn't gonna ask... ever. "Fine, what the heck ever... Okay, now... how the fuck are you related Yu!?"

To add effect to my question, I pointed to Yu. James hopped in his seat a little, shock quickly took over his face. "H-how, how the bloody hell do you know that!?"

"You said so yesterday..." I growled lightly. Why the hell was he acting so surprised about this? I remember it clearly! "My memory isn't that bad!"

"What are you talking about?" Now it seemed like he was just avoiding the question. This was why I didn't like the guy. "After helping Shirogane I went straight home."

"Say what?" What, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! "Then... Who...?"

"Crap, was it William?"

"William?"

"My brother." My mind completely overloaded with information at that exact moment. Brother... brother... there was two of him... I hate my life... why must god continue to torture me? "Now he is a cop."

"You're still avoiding the first question." I sighed, I had just give up on being pissed, especially for such a stupid reason. Yu flinched as the words left my mouth... he knew what was about to happen here. "How are you related to my buddy Narukami?"

James looked to the ground, his face was the same as mine when I first told Chie about trying to off myself. I instantly knew this was gonna hurt, but I've learned that talking about things tend to make them easier... of course facing a completely evil fucked up version of yourself helps with that too. Just saying... Shadows were assholes, but they served their purpose well. "I-I'm... I'm really not... I wouldn't say related..."

"Shit... I knew that was gonna happen..." I pulled my beanie down over my eyes, I felt like such a douchebag... No one wants to make fun of the orphan, or the guy on suicide watch, but give them money and suddenly they're no longer human, in fact... I was still feeling like I was a monster because of the events that took place in the Dark Hour, but I would help the memory of those people. "I'm sorry, I kinda get how you feel..."

"How the bloody hell would you mate!?" Trying to change the touchy subject, then getting pissed, ya it still bothered him... "You still have parents! I was lucky enough to still have my brother with me!"

"I wouldn't say I have parents..." Now I just took the beanie off, the damned thing was soaked from the rain anyway... I walked over and sat next to James, I suddenly understood why he acted the way he did... the same reason I did, you need mask to hide all the cuts and bruises... my I-pod suddenly turned on... I accidently hit the play button... the song that played was a slower emotional piano piece... perfect for a scene like this. "My dad walked out on me and my sis just because he wasn't getting rich off my mom... I still remember Em trying to show our dad that she could play 'Ode to Joy on her little violin... he slammed the door in her face... I ran out the back and started to throw rocks at him as he headed for the door screaming at him, 'you stupid head jerk! I hate you!' then his response... 'go fuck off you little shit! Who could care for a dumbass like you?'"

"W-wow..." James stared at me now, I knew he still didn't wanna talk about this, but give him some time, and I would talk to him about it... now I wanted to get to know him better, he still pissed me off, I just wanted to get past it.

"Yeah, I came back in with a welt on my forehead, the bastard threw a rock back." I looked at the water slowly running off the roof of the canopy for the picnic table. I laughed slightly, I could remember something like this, but not what I had for breakfast yesterday... what the hell? "My sis was crying her eyes out, so was my mom. I looked at my sister and asked her to hear her song... it took a minute for her to regain her composure, but she started to play 'Ode to Joy so beautifully, it made my mom cry all over again... Years later, I'm the one lying on the bathroom floor with cuts in my wrist waiting for death to take me..."

James was speechless, I had done my job. He felt a bit better, and I got something else off of my chest. I slapped my knees and stood up. Smiling... I said brightly... "Well, its getting late, and I gotta cook dinner for three... god I was Em or Will would try and learn how to make anything... welp, James... to be honest, it was nice talking to you... You're brother has my address no doubt, if you ever wanna talk, try there first."

"Thanks Kreed..." God, I felt like a life coach all of a sudden.

"See ya tomorrow Yu."

"Um... ok... bye Kreed-san."

I was standing on a roof overlooking a small town, I could barely make out a bridge. It was night, but it was also that time... I could tell by the way that the moon glowed and everything had a sickly green tint to it... that's when I heard it... someone was singing. "We come out, we come out to play. We come out, we come out at Midnight. Twelve of us there were, now none of us are here." I couldn't tell who was singing, all I knew was that the voice sounded like it was coming from everywhere at once. "The first was the worst, as the cycle now began, the first, the worst of us was the Magician so happy to be. Yet only one he was to get."

The song was horribly out of tune and seemed like they didn't even try to rhyme. Yet, something started to happen, I could sense movement, but I was frozen in place. I couldn't look around to find out what it was... I was starting to get scared. "Follow the little swallow he did, right into the hornets nest, of which he did climb. All that came to meet him at the top of the tree were two little ones. With his knives in hand the Magician began a charge." That's when over the side of the roof a giant black mass of hands slowly came over the edge, one holding a mask that looked right at me. Suddenly, it brought up six three knives and quickly charged at me. "Yet, he was doomed to die! For the one had summoned the master of the strings, of which was destroyed by the keeper of the gates!"

That's when I heard a sharp cry, I was suddenly able to turn, that's when I saw the white skulled creature come flying at me, and went straight through, as though I was never there. "The poor poor Magician, was sent to the gates of hell as the keepers blade did fall."

The world went black as I shot up in bed... the rain had stopped for the moment, and there was a break in the clouds, through which... I could see a full moon. "What the fuck is wrong with me?"

HI! Okay, first, I will not be in town for the weekend so I will not be updating this weekend. I'll tell you guys why after I get back, second...
