Chapter 9
~Kaito~
I guess...Len and I started 'dating' after that strange encounter when I decided it was a good time to start freaking out like I did. We did a whole bunch of lovey-dovey things when we were alone, but it never escalated since I was afraid of hurting him too bad. He was still a boy at heart, and the last I wanted to do was ruin our relationship. I did try to quit, but the addiction was a little too much at time and I smoked whenever Len wasn't around, masking the scent with tons of cologne. I couldn't really help myself, and as long as no one found out, I guess I was going to be fine.
I was walking out around town, on my own for the first time in a while. Ever since I started teacher, my aunt had decided that she was through with treating me like a baby. She let me have all the freedom in the world; even bought me a car! But I still preferred walking seeing as it gave me a chance to think about what exactly was going on with my life.
Len and I had confessed our love...well, more like I assumed, confessed back, and luckily was right and got to finally kiss the living hell out of him. I had rubbed the fact that I was finally with the spirit into Oliver's face, probably at a bad time, considering it was early in the morning, and just bitched me out, storming back into his room and slamming the door, ready to get some more sleep. I thanked god that it was the weekend so I wouldn't have to deal with his wrath.
In the classes, Len began telling the students stories of when he was younger and first discovered his powers, and he even invited his sister to come see the progress he had made. Needless to say, she wasn't very happy when she saw the smug look on my face, and when I signed that I had finally kissed her brother, she flew over to me in a fit of rage, practically ripping my head off my shoulders. Len had to come by and stop her or else I seriously would've been dead.
I chuckled and lit a cigarette, looking up into the blue sky and feeling the cold wind blow through my hair. Jesus. I hated winter with every microfiber of my being. It mostly meant that I couldn't eat ice cream without having the possibility of fucking getting hypothermia, but it also made a lot of people stay indoors with their heaters, and left me to walk through a relatively empty street. A few cars drove by here and there, but it wasn't too bad.
"Mister Shion?" someone asked behind me, and I turned around to see some of my students, a little surprised to actually see them out on the streets. "What're you up to? Is Len around?"
I smiled, taking a puff from my cancer stick. "Guys, call me Kaito when we're out of class. I feel old being called 'Mister Shion' out on the streets, and no, Len isn't here. It's just me for now. I'm taking a walk, reflecting on life."
"Can we walk with you?"
"Of course, the more the merrier." Where was Len though? He would've found me by now. We started walking down the street again, and I began listening to the mindless chatter of the kids. As a child, I didn't have too many friends since I was afraid they would find out about my druggie problem and report everything. To hear people about my age just talking happily made me miss the childhood I had lost. "Where are you, Len?" I mumbled under my breath.
"Kaito!" Ah, speak of the devil. I turned, along with the rest of the kids and watched as Len swooped down and let his bare feet hit the pavement. "Where were you, you silly goose? I was looking all over the place for you!" He snatched the cigarette out of my hands and destroyed it. "And I told you to quit."
"One cigarette a day compared to twenty from when I was a kid makes a big difference, babyboy," I said, watching his body flush at the nickname as the other kids started whispering. "Anyway, come on, you should join us for a calming, smoke free walk."
He shrugged and floated ahead of us, occasionally laughing and smiling down at me, who walked in the back of the group, not wanting to ruin any fun for them. When we were about to turn a corner, I spotted a park across the street and said, "Come on, let's go over there!"
I took one foot off the sidewalk and onto the blacktop, mind set on having the kids follow. Instead, halfway down, I heard shrieks and when I went to turn around, my eyes met the metal 'face' of a bus. The last thing I heard was Len's voice, "Kaito!"
Splat!
I felt the metal crush my body in ways I wasn't even aware that it could do. I lost feeling right after though, and the world started turning into one big blur of black. I was dead. It was pretty obvious.
