Chapter 5 part 1: A Decade Under the Influence Part 1

A KuroFai Story

The boy awoke to darkness. His back was pressing against the stone wall; legs crapped from staying in that position all night. The boy knew that if he stretched out one of his arms he could touch the other wall in front of him, and off to both sides of him. He stared in front of him, trying to see just a few inches in front of him. He couldn't, so he sighed and looked up towards where he knew the sky would be.

Pale blue sky met him and he gave a light smile. He might be stuck down here, but at least Fai was up there, even if he didn't know if his twin was safe or not, it was still better than being trapped down here.

He stood up, legs buckling from being in one spot all night, and he grabbed hastily at the wall in front of him. The tips of his fingers caught between two stones, stopping his fall. He forced his legs to stay up right, and felt up along the wall. He could feel that the stones were unevenly placed in areas.

He lifted one of his legs and began trying to see if the wall would hold his weight. He let out a little laugh as he was now climbing up the wall. He wanted nothing more than to be up there again with Fai. And though he knew Fai wasn't up there, as he had told him that he was going to get help, he could still wait for him.

As he got closer to the surface, not close enough to the light for anyone looking in to see him, he heard voices. He was about to yell up at them, when something blocked the light, and something heavy crashed down on him, sending him back down the hole. He cried out as he back hit the ground, but his cry was cut off by the thing landing on him, effectively winding him.

He coughed, flailing, trying to push the heavy thing off of him. He gagged at the smell of the thing, and finally managed to knock it off of him. It took up more than half of the room down here, and he had to push his back up against the wall, to avoid touching it. He wondered what the thing was. The smell was something akin to what a dead animal smelled like.

Since the thing hadn't moved, he was sure that it was dead. Taking a deep breath, for courage, he reached forward trying to feel what the thing was. He stopped when his hand felt cloth. It felt like a T-shirt, and what ever was underneath it was hard and cold.

His body tensed up and he let out a frightened scream.

The thing was human.

---------------------

I awoke to the sound of the front door slamming shut. My eyes snapped open, heart pounding loudly in my chest, and immediately searched for the alarm clock. Its face read 6:30. I furrowed my eyebrows, noting that my alarm hadn't gone off. With a sigh, I sat up in the bed. Fai grumbled something in his sleep and turned over to face the wall.

I chuckled, still tired. Fai could sleep through a hurricane. Rubbing my eyes, I got out of bed and went to the closet. Rummaging through it I grabbed a pair of pants, socks, a long sleeved shirt, and a T-shirt to go over it. It was mid January and the weather was freezing outside.

Grabbing my backpack from the floor, I slung it over my shoulder and made my way down stairs, the cold of the wood floors seeping through my thin socks. I entered the kitchen and froze when I saw Ashura sitting at the table, golden eyes staring hard at me.

I shifted uncomfortably as his eyes never left me, and I had a feeling I was in trouble. "G-good morning?" I said as I made my way over to one of the cabinets, grabbing a bowl out of it. I still felt his eyes on me as I walked over to the refrigerator and grabbed the milk out. My heart was pounding fast in my chest wondering what he was up to. It wasn't every day that he would miss out on sleep just to stare at me.

Placing the clean bowl into the sink, I turned the water on and let it fill the bowl up about half way. Turning the water off, I pulled the cap off of the milk and let a few drops fall into the water, making it a murky color. I did this just about every day, to convince Fai that I had eaten some breakfast before I went to school. He was a Nazi about eating breakfast in the morning.

Taking a spoon and throwing it into the milk-water I turned and found Ashura still staring at me. I sighed, slightly irritated, and placed the milk back into the refrigerator, before I turned to him.

"What?" I snapped.

He smirked, probably liking the fact that he had gotten under my skin. He placed his elbows on the table, laced his fingers together, and rested his head on them. "Where's my money?" he asked, bluntly

"Uh..." was my intelligent response. I seriously had no idea what happened to the money after the Cafe last night. "Shit..."

His smirk only widened. "I take it you don't have it?" He asked tauntingly. Every night, I have to pay him; usually I have to earn 200 dollars a night for him to be satisfied. Sometimes, very rarely though, he'll drop it down to 150 dollars, if he's feeling generous, which isn't often.

"Fine I'll pay you back double tonight or something." I replied.

"Sorry the 'Basement's' closed tonight." He said, his smirk reminding me of Cheshire cats. 'Basement' was what our little whore house was called, not the most creative name...

I sighed. "Whatever. I'll pay it when I get home then?"

"Make sure to come home early. Don't want your brother to walk in now do we?" He chuckled. I shuddered, grabbed my bag from the floor, left the room, and was out the door.

When I reached the bus stop, I realized I left my jacket at the house. I sighed, and as I ireally/i didn't want to go back for it. The reasons being I would miss the bus, and I didn't want to deal with Ashura any more than I already have this morning.

I rubbed my clothed arms for warmth, and winced when my wrist stung. I blinked in confusion and pushed up my sleeve. The spot were Ashura had put his cigarette out on, was bleeding, the surface around it red. I had forgotten about it, as this was the first time it had acted up since I had gotten it. I figured I had rubbed the scab off of it. I whipped the blood off with my sleeve, knowing that after a while the flow would stop.

The bus pulled up in front of me, and I jumped slightly; I hadn't seen it coming down the street. The driver opened the doors, and I climbed in, and took the seat behind the driver. Taking the seat by the window, I placed my bag in the seat next to me and put my feet in front of my bag, with my back against the window. I dug out my ipod and drowned out the rest of the ride.

We arrived at the school in only five songs, and I had to pause it half way through one of them. Turning my ipod back off, I stuffed it in my bag and got off of the bus; my backpack slung over my shoulder.

Entering the building, I made my way to the spot I claimed as mine this year. We weren't allowed to roam the halls before the bell rang, so they had us all crowd in the cafeteria. I sat down on the floor against one of the walls, and watched the people with a bored expression. As soon as I sat down, several people in the tables closest to me stared at me with a look of brief distaste, before they looked away again.

Sitting on the floor, despite being labeled as strange, (not that I wasn't already, but we have Fai to blame for some of that.), saved me a lot of headache on deciding where I was going to sit. I might have been going to this school since I was 6 but most people avoided me. Really the only people who I used to talk with were Watanuki, Doumeki, and Himawari.

I felt someone kick my foot to get my attention; I looked up at them, not sure when I had begun staring at my lap. I blinked when I saw Watanuki standing in front of me. What's with people and staring at me today? I blinked again when several seconds passed by and he still hadn't said anything.

"Umm... Hi?" I asked, lifting up my arm and waving at him. He continued to stare, before he sighed, and sat down beside me.

I stared at him confused. He lifted his gaze back to me with his blue eyes, which were darker than mine I noted, for the first time in a long time. "What were you doing at that place last night?" He asked.

I held back a sigh, and tried to think of the best explanation. "Well...it's...complicated?" Oh yeah, nice come back there, Yuui-bear... that voice sounded a lot like Fai's...

He sighed deeply, and it sounded like I was wearing him down. "What happened to us Yuui? Himawari said we used to be friends, but the way we act now doesn't seem to fit that..."

He looked pitiful, his head was bowed, hair hanging in his eyes, which had a miserable look in them. "I wish I could remember." He muttered.

I closed my eyes and ran a hand through my hair. I was at a loss for words and felt terrible about it. I was probably the lousiest friend on the planet, but I couldn't bring myself to try and explain my reasoning to him. It had been crappy to begin with, but at least he might be better off with out me in his life, at least this time around.

After all it was my fault he had gotten into that accident in the first place.

The bell rang and I let out a sigh of relief as I shot up, and ran from him. I didn't have to look back to know that he was still sitting there with the same miserable look on his face.

Okay Part 2 will be up very soon!!! promise!!
