BAND-AIDS

hee hee hee. Oh I'm having too much fun with this! Enjoy please!

He'd stolen one of Hatsuna's skirts again. And her make up. He probably used the stuff more than she did. The skirt was only a little bit revealing, in his opinion. It showed off his legs.

He'd gotten used to sharing Hatsuna's clothes a long time ago. it wasn't that he liked girl clothes. It was that she couldn't afford to be buying him new clothes when he grew so fast. He didn't mind too much. Why should he complain when the only reason he was still living was because she'd taken him in?

He brushed lip gloss across his lips, making them sparkle. A little bit of eye shadow, and his look was complete.

Hichigo was purring at him, dragging long black nails across his face. "You look so good, Alice King." he wondered why he hadn't stopped calling him that, but he left it alone. Running his fingers quickly through his hair, he grabbed his keys, finding Hatsuna in the kitchen.

"Stop stealing my eyeliner." she told him, sniffing crack. "If you're going to go shopping, at least wear pants."

"Your pants are too short for me. Besides, he likes it when I wear skirts." he'd long ago told Hatsuna about Hichigo. She hadn't said anything. Hadn't even looked at him like he was crazy.

"Well tell him to stop trying to get you raped in the streets." hichigo merely laughed at her words. He could feel a phantom hand wander up his skirt. "Well go on, go shop. We need milk. And make it 1 this time! I'm gonna get fat."

He wandered through the streets, giving the middle finger to whoever whistled at him, and kicking the ass of whoever tried to lift up his skirt. "Sick fags!" he called to them, and kept walking. As he was on his way back home, a girl in a green dress stopped him.

"I was expecting a hollow." she said to herself, then frowned at him. He was about to continue around her, but she placed a hand on his chest. "You're coming with me."

"Yea right." he rolled his eyes, pushing too long orange hair behind his ear. Really it wasn't that long. Hatsuna tried to keep it pretty tame. But she couldn't exactly afford to take him to the hair dresser. So he lived with it. He continued down the street, taking a couple of confusing turns just in case that weird girl tried to follow him.

"Alright! Milk! Now I can eat it with my bananas!" Hatsuna cried happily. Her cocaine had been safely stored away. He was happy he took as long as he did. He hated seeing her high. But it wasn't exactly her fault. He unpacked the groceries, going to his room to read one of the books he'd picked up on the way.

Even if he didn't have his high school education, at least he could read. Albeit, badly, but he was looking on the bright side. Hatsuna crawled into bed beside him, asking him to read out loud for her. Her education was almost as bad as his. She left for her room, leaving him alone.

"Sweet virtue and useless dreams. How my Alice king struggles for freedom that he won't find here." Hichigo snickered.

"If you want me to visit you, just say so." he put down his book, focusing until he could feel his own world melt away, and he was back in that place he didn't have a name for. Hichigo greeted him with a kiss. They were both taller. Not little kids anymore. Hichigo's arm wrapped around him, fingers trailing lightly along his bare legs.

"Scares me how good you look in a skirt, Alice King." he whispered, kissing him again. How had they gone so quickly from enemies to friends? Though Hichigo still often threatened his existence. Still drove him crazy with dreams. Or, pushed him further into insanity. Sometimes he could barely think strait for the laughter in his head. "Sweet little Alice king..."

He kissed his insanity suddenly, then pushed him away. "Stop calling me that." Hichigo only smirked.

"A selfish little brat who couldn't keep her mouth shut. You're just like her. You're the queen of hearts and sweet little alice. And...we have company."

He woke up abruptly, staring angrily at the girl in front of them, standing proudly in between two men. "You! You're that girl who stopped me before! How the hell did you get in here?!"

"He can see us?" the red haired man asked stupidly.

"Why are you so shocked, Abarai-fukutaicho? He has hollow reiatsu, of course he can see us." the dark haired man replied coldly. "Now. Please come with us."

"Yea. Right!" he could hear Hichigo screaming obscenities in his ear, telling him to get away and fast. But he wasn't quite quick enough for what came next.

OWARI
