To Stare At Nothing

Chapter: D-felon Injection

Seimei sighed as the medicine he gave Ritsuka finally took effect and made the young boy fall of to sleep. They were now at the house.

Seimei stood up from his brother's bedside, looked over his shoulder to Soubi who stood in the doorway, and walked over to him. Both men took one more look at the bandaged boy and then went into the living room area. They would wait until her woke up and then they would find out what was wrong.


Blonde haired Yamato sighed as school let out. She had transferred to Kouya's school and now had a part time job at a boutique shop. She gave Kouya a quick hug before running off down the street. She barely made it in time to see her employer, Mrs. Kago, walk out, ready to leave the store in the girl's hands for the next three hours.

"You'll be alright today, right? No more incidents?" The red haired woman asked, her stern glare making Yamato blush.

Or maybe she was just embarrassed about last week.

"Y-yes ma'am. No slip ups today.. Hehe, I promise!" Yamato stammered out. If she had cat ears they would have been flat on her head.

"Good. You'll be closing by 6 today so I'll pay you overtime. No buts! It's because you let some cheapskate steal from me! Keep a better eye on the customers today!" The woman said huffily before she turned on her heel. Leaving a annoyed girl behind.

What a woman! I didn't let somebody just walk in and steal! That girl tricked me! Yamato thought in anger before she stormed into the small store. Her dark shoes clicked on the floor as she walked through racks and stacks of semi-expensive clothes. She ducked into the dressing room to change into her work clothes. A button up white shirt, short sleeved a denim vest with sparkles, with a mini skirt of denim in black to complete her outfit. Off came the loose socks for school and on went the white stockings with black, slit, thigh high boots.

This store has the oddest taste! She inwardly whined!

Finally, two black bracelets, that had been a gift from Kouya last week, went on each wrist. She posed in front of the mirror for a moment before twirling and walking out of the fitting room.

Her face went slack and cheery disposition took a dive when she spotted a 19 year old girl with short, black hair pulled back with a purple hair clip. Sullen cheeks with a high amount of blush under lightly purpled, mascara eyes of dull blue stood before her.

"Hey! You're the thief!" Yamato shouted out, her hand balling into a small fist. Her other hand pointed to the girl!

Pale lips smirked while the thief walked over. Her eyes became wider and Yamato felt that blue was all she could see for a moment.

The blonde shook her head to clear it, but froze when she opened her eyes. Dark wisp of smoke flowed from around the girl's feet. The ground under her was on fire and it was quickly spreading toward the shocked store keeper.

"Wh-what are you doing?" Yamato said as she backed up.

A hollow voice answered, and Yamato stopped against a wall.

"I've come to play a game. I thought that those without pain would like it. To burn and never feel it. I'm doing you a favor. Pain is needed to confirm existence. She told me so. And she's always RIGHT!"


Kouya coughed when the sent of smoke filled the air around her. She had been walking with some friends towards home. She tugged at her skirt and sighed when her new cell phone beeped.

Her eyes widened when she saw the text message.

Help!

Note: I like writing this one! This is just a small part of what I have planned for this chapter. I'll try to put it into three parts so this will have Side Effects and another chapter to look forward to. Thanks for the reviews! This one is mostly based of Zero, the next should have Ritsuka, Soubi, and Seimei a bit more but also the Zero boys should get their turn.

Fun!
