Take The First Step

~Kanayuki/God~

I smiled when Kaoru and Tatsuya walked in. Kaoru smiled uncertainly at me. "Hello Yuki-Oniisan." My smile widened. I stood up and embraced them both. I noticed Kaoru tense a little when I touched him. It angered me, but the look of disgust in his eyes when he noticed quelled my anger. "What's wrong Kao-Chan?" He looked up at me. He was shaking. Tatsuya grabbed my arm. "Please...he's still shaken from when you threw him yesterday."

I stepped back. Scared...of me. I looked again at Kaoru, and his eyes filled with tears. I nodded and went to sit at my desk. "Well he shouldn't have tried to interfear." It was like I'd slapped him. Tatsuya moved closer to him. It made me angry. As if I would hurt him!....but I did...didn't I? I tapped my finger in agitation. "So...I see you both came home from school early." Tatsuya nodded. I smiled. "For your hair...and eyes." They both nodded. "They didn't believe you did they? They called you liars. Thought you were bad kids. Even when you pleaded that you were telling the truth. They laughed and said it was impossible." Tatsuya looked down. Kaoru's hand had reached out and clung to Ta's shirt. "So are you going to go back? It was what you all wanted after all right?...To go to school. Outside. To meet other...normal people?"

I snickered. "Didn't I tell you they wouldn't understand?! That they would laugh at you?! That you would be outcasts!" They were both shaking now. Kaoru was crying, but Tatsuya was getting there. "Didn't I tell you that I'm the only one who truly loves you. Forever. Always. Unconditionally. I am all you have." Kaoru looked up suddenly. "I...I will go back...." My eyes widened. "I love Yuki-Niisan...but..I want to try to...expand and meet others." I slammed my hands on the desk. They both flinched. "FINE! GO BACK IF YOU WANT TO BE RIDICULED THAT BADLY!!! But when you are shunned, and they all hate you. Then you will see that I am truly the only one you all have."

I waved them away. Kaoru turned and walked towards me. His arms went around my neck. "I love you Yuki-Niisan. I know you are here for us. I don't want you to be sad anymore." I didn't know what to say. He left with Tatsuya and I was left alone. I raised my hand shakily to my mouth. I felt sick. I stood up and went to bedroom. Everything got dizzy and I leaned against the wall. 'You are the one who needs them. You're the one whose alone. They don't need you! It's only a matter of time! It'll all end!! Just like before! The dream will break and you will be nothing!!!' I slumped to the floor in a ball as I began to cry. "I do t want to be left alone! DON'T LEAVE ME ALONE!!!" My chest felt tight as I struggled to breath. But I couldn't move. Shino...I need Shino! But he had left after I fell asleep. Why did he leave me? Why do they all want to leave me? Everything started to go black. Shino...

~Shino/Dog~

I dropped my chopsticks as a heavy feeling settled in my gut. My heart seemed to tighten, and my eyes widened. Kanayuki...I stood up. Aaralyn looked up at me. "What's wrong?" I was running for the door. "Something's wrong. I'll see you at home!" I ran down the stairs and was at the front gate of the school in what felt like seconds. Arashi was there. He turned to look at me. His eyes were wide and he was shaking. "Shino...what is this...feeling?" I clenched my fists and took off toward home. I heard him start to follow me, but I quickly lost him.

When I got home I Saw Kaoru and Tatsuya on the porch of the main house. They were both crying and shaking. "Shino...s...something's wrong!" I passed them and threw open the door to see Kanayuki having an attack on the floor. I ran to his room and grabbed his inhaler. I picked his head up. He was covered in a light sheen of sweat and was extremely pale. He was struggling to breath. This feeling was one I was very familiar with. After his breathing calmed down I carried him to his bed, and laid down beside him.

He looked like a sleeping angel. At least...that's what I've always thought. His eyes slowly opened, and he smiled. "I knew you would come back." He wrapped his hands in my shirt and leaned his head against my chest. "Good boy...my Shino." His voice was horase. "You should take it easy. That was a bad attack." I saw his smile. "It doesn't matter. You would all be happy if I died. Then you could go where you want. " I started to pull away, but his grip tightened on my shirt. "DON'T LEAVE!!" I sighed. "I hate you when you talk like that. That's why we try to run away." I laid back down and he relaxed. Yeah...we all wanted to run away, and say we hate him. But it was true that we need him. We're all so deeply connected to him...our God.

"If only you...could see the beauty of the outside too." He tensed up. "I don't want to! Why can't we all just stay here?! Together!!!" I shook my head. "Because we live in reality..." He shook his head. "Reality means nothing when you can create your own paradise." I looked him in the eyes. "But your paradise is also our h*ll. Why can't we have both?" He shook his head. "I don't know how...I can give you both..." I wrapped my arms around him. "All you have to do...is take the first step."
