Helloo..o..o..o…
Fine, then I’ll
just put up this story anyways, nevermind, if people want to read it or
not(mumble, grumble, ungrateful brats, mumble, grumble). Ahum, more argues
between the blond hero and his dark counterpart, as he takes the first steps
towards insanity-enjoy!
Oh, btw

5.
The cast
came off two weeks later, the doctor very pleased with Jou’s fast recovery. He
advised him, to favor the arm another week, before using it normally again.
Katsuya thanked him, and left.
On the way
home, people stood and stared at him, whispering behind his back, occasionally
nodding or smiling at him.
He barely
returned the greetings, he just wanted the attention to wear off, so he could
go back to leading a normal life.
“Normal life? Oh, come on, Katsuya, you
don’t want to be normal, I mean, you’re like the hero of the neighbourhood, ne?
Besides, being normal is so boring, I’d rather, the two of us go and enjoy
ourselves, whatcha say, huh?”
“Shut the
fuck up, I’m sick and tired of your constant babbling!” growled Katsuya, making
several people cast him sidelong glances.
Again,
Kanashimi chuckled.
“Careful
there, you don’t want to be sent home again, now, don’t you?” he grinned.
“Don’t
remind me”, growled Jou, remembering, how he had yelled out loud at his alter
ego, and the teacher down the hall had thought, he was talking to him.
*~”I do
hope, Katsuya, you were not reffering to me”, said Fujishime-san, as they were
seated opposite each other at his desk. The blond gulped, and, nervously
combing his fingers through his hair, replied:
“It’s..it’s
just that, ever since-that happened, I always see Hitoshi, and it’s driving me
nuts. I-I-sometimes I wake up screaming, because I see him stand there,
laughing, and then, I can feel the..bullet in my shoulder, and suddenly,
there’s blood all over me, and he’s still laughing at me…”
By then, he
was rubbing his hands against each other, as if trying to wash away the crimson
fluid. He didn’t lie there, he did have these nightmares, and they did
upset him, but no where as much as Kanashimi did.
Fujishime-san
noticed the paleness, the cold sweat on Jou’s forehead, and the distressed look
on the boy’s face, and asked:
“I see.
Have you consulted a psychiatrist about these..images.” Katsuya nodded.
“Been
there, done that. He told me, it might take up to an year, until my mind
accepted what has happened, and he said, it wouldn’t help to supress the
nightmares, but that I should try to live through them, and only to use
the..tranquilizers, if the dreams got too disturbing. Said, it was all part of
the healing process, and that the first weeks were the worst.”
Again, the
teacher nodded, before taking out a clean slip of paper and writing something
on it.
“Tell you
what, I’ll hand your teacher this pass, explaining what haed, ed, and send you
home, so you can get some rest. How does that sound?” relief flooded Katsuya’s
being, when he rasped:
“A-arigato
Kanashimi
laughed, before patting Katsuya on the back.
“I must
say, that was an excellent performance. You even had me fooled, that you were
having-“
“I
mind-wanker, and all because you had to go Jack the Ripper on Tokunaga! Just
leave me the hell alone, ya hear?Or I swear, you’ll regret it!”
Grinning,his
dark half asked:
“Oh, and
what, pray tell, do you think, you could do against me?Summon an excorcism?
That doesn’t work with me, you know.”
Katsuya’s
gaze was adamant, even thoguh his voice rembled a little, when he replied:
“I still
know, how to lock you away, Kanashimi. I’ve done so once, and I’ll do it again,
if need be.”
Purple
eyes flashed in anger, before turning into orbs of pure darkness.
“Don’t
you dare!” hissed Kanashimi, right before his mouth turned into a mawing abyss,
which took a leap at Jou, and then-
