Bound: So good job Kylie for knowing who Kouji's shrink is...of course its not really that hard since I was talking to you whilst I was writing the chapter. Updates will be coming slower due to my recent addiction to DDR and school starting. Sorry that this update came so late...

Warnings: cutting, slight swearing...

Laying there staring at the ceiling. Kouichi had woken up over an hour ago but hadn't moved to get anything done. He was waiting for his brother, to call or to mail him. Anything. It had been hours and no reply. The black haired boy was out of it, he didn't even notice when his mother came home and called out to him. When she peeked into his dimly lit room he just pretended to go to sleep. He didn't want to tell her either, he was pretty sure his father hadn't.

He turned to the cellphone laying beside him with perfect timing. He grabbed it as soon as it lit up, before it even started ringing, eager to answer it. Pulling it closer to his face his hope was dashed when he saw the flashing name 'Takuya.' He debated not answering but what was the point? Even if he didn't he couldn't avoid his goggle-headed friend for long. 'Here goes nothing...' Kouichi flipped open his phone.

"Mochi Mochi"

Kouiji gripped the side of his seat mulling over what his aunt had just told him. A psychiatrist? He wasn't crazy, he didn't need to see psychiatrist. What did she think she was doing? She wasn't his parent, she couldn't do this to him! The dark haired boy quickly bit his lip to keep from spouting out his anger. He didn't need to yell at her about this. As soon as they got back to the Ichijouji's he could relieve him self from stress a different way. Taking a deep breath he tried not to sound angry when he spoke up?

" My dad was ok with this?" Kouji's dad had gotten rid of him so he wouldn't have to be reminded that he hadn't been the best of father's. He sure as hell wouldn't want to receive a bill from the mental doctor.

" Not yet but I'm sure it will be fine. It's whats best for you after all." Rika said this all with a smile. " It's tomorrow at five so come straight home and change out of your uniform, ok?"

Kouji just nodded his head, he wasn't sure he trusted his voice at this point. It was what was best for him? He'd known this woman for two days and she was telling him what was best for him? He reached over with his right hand to squeeze his left arm. Feeling the stinging pain from the irritated cuts he felt himself relax a little. How could they think that what he was doing was bad when it made him feel so much better?

The rest of the ride was silent. Well more like the rest of the ride Kouji was silent. Rika didn't seem to care that the boy wasn't replying to her and just kept chatting along. The teenager was thankful when they arrived at their destination and wasted no time in heading up to his room. His quick excuse of first day catch-up work settled well enough with her.

Closing the door to his room he threw his bag down and grabbed his knife from its hiding place. He let out a sigh as he sat on the floor with his back against the bed. He hadn't been sure he would make it the whole ride without blowing up. He rolled up his pant leg and took of his sock. Here there was only the lone mark he had made earlier that day. Bringing the sharp object down to his ankle he wasted no time in creating another, and another. He watched the blood flow from the four new marks he had added and felt his body relax completely.

Kouji watched his foot until the bleeding stopped. Cleaning off his leg with a discarded article of clothing, he felt better than he had since leaving Shibuya. Shibuya...shit, Kouchi! He had forgotten about Kouichi's message. He stuck his hand in his pocket to dig out his cell and felt nothing. 'Crap, crap where is it?' He stood up and gave himself the full pat down and checked his bag. It must have fallen out someone.

The youger twin let out a groan. This was just his luck.

At the same time Kouichi was doing the same thing. He was really bad at lying, Kouji was going to hate him when he heard about this. When Takuya had asked about Kouji he had just let loose some random story. He was lucky it was Takuya who had called because anyone else would have known he was just babbling. As far as everyone would know, Takuya would manage to let loose to everyone, Kouji had gone into a special soccer program so that he could get the skills to beat their brown haired friend.

Somehow he had managed to damage his brothers pride and boost Takuya's ego in one punch. Now that took talent. Well better he was going to go around saying 'Kouji left because he couldn't beat me,' than 'Kouji left because he probably hates us all and wants to kill himself.' Actually now that he looked at it that way he felt a little bit better. That was until he remembered he would have to tell his brother or else major confusion would arise when he got called by his friends.

He still hadn't gotten a reply from his last message but he sent another anyways. The next couple of hours he spent finishing his homework but after that he picked up the book he had been looking at earlier. Opening to the first page, he was determined not to let anything distract him. That plan was ruined when five sentances into the first page somethine jumped on him, hard.

"Lowe, come on pleasse get off of me?"

His cat gave a meow in response. One that meant 'No and you can't do anything to stop me, just try.' On their last birthday the twins had both gotten eachother pets. Kouichi had given his brother an american eskimo puppy, and had received a black kitten. They had both decided to name them after their respective warriors, and took good care of them. He actually hadn't been sure if Kouji would appreciate having an animal to care for, but he had bonded with Lobomon quickly.

A thought crossed him then. When Kouji left, Lo hadn't been with him.

Another knock on Kouji's door. He had been keeping to himself the majority of his time and hadn't left the room since he got home. By now he had given up looking for his cell phone, he would search the school lost and found tomorrow. Hoisting himself off the bed, he made sure none of his collection was showing before opening the door.

" Kouji your dad just called. He said you forgot something, he's offering to bring it to you. He says if you don't want it he'll just throw it away." His aunt Rika was holding the phone to her chest looking kind of confused. " What his it that you forgot, dear?" Kouji was confused for a second as well before it hit him. Lo...he had been moved out in such a hurry he hadn't even thought about what would happen to Lo.

" Aunt Rika, how do you feel about dogs?"

Bound: So thats the end of chapter six. I'm thinking I'll try to do one more before school starts, which is Tuesday. After that It will probably be once every week, or week and a half. Also to the one with the initials E.E. The others are fine but I'd like you to stop with this one, I'll inform you if I ever change my mind. Sorry.

Next chapter(hopefully): Kouji finds his cellphone and calls Kouichi. That is the only thing because I for sure want that to happen! Seriously if that doesn't happen in the next chapter I want you all to slap me!
