All was quiet while he drove home in a taxi,except for the rain that was slowly weakening. The roads were completely empty. It was already past 4 am. He finally reached the bulding where he lived. Those 4 stories seemed to him like an endless scyscraper at the time. He climbed the stairs zombiefied and arrived at his doorstep,after the 5 minutes that left the feeling a century had past. He found his keys,unlocked the door and walked in. The room started spinning around and then it was all gone.
There was already light coming through the windows when he regained his consciousness. He was lying flat in his bed with something warm right beside him.
''Oh,you are awake! It's not very wise to leave your front door wide open nowadays you know. I gotta admit you didnt look comfortable on the floor either.''
Jacob backed off in a flash,stuck to the wall and shook like hell trying not to yell out loud.
''H-how..did you..i mean,why...i mean...WHAT IN THE WORLD???????????''
His eyes remained on the intruder who was no other than his airport saviour.
''How rude of me i havent even introduced myself,I am Michael.And obviously i have taken an interest in you dear Jacob.''
He started walking up to him and pressed him harder against the wall. Jacob was speachless.He didnt try to escape,maybe the intruder was some obsessed serial killing stalker so he wouldnt take any chances,he thought.
''Relax,i wont ever harm you.You look very much like your father you know..He was a really good man.''
He remained silent for a moment.
''Let's skip that subject,for now at least.So,apparently you can see me. And not only see me,touch me as well.Very interesting...''
Jacob was lost.Completely.How did a stranger looking his age know his father who had died in an accident when he was only 9? And why wouldnt he be able to see him?He was just a normal guy,maybe a bit better looking than most but regular generally..Or was he?

Yoru no me,part IX
There it was,the same pattern all over again.Chaos,darkness,anxiety. But this time he saw a fading figure,with long blood red hair.Her face was vast though..He felt at ease at her presence. He knew at least she wasnt the one after him. She was someone close,even if he couldnt recognise her,he knew she was important to his life. It was the last time that figure visited his dream,so not long afterwards he forgot all about it.
Days,weeks,months passed at his new residence. After registering at the nearby school he was meant to spend the next three years,he would regurarly wander the streets in search of sources that might help him retrieve his lost memories or find the mysterious person Rara.
It was no good.He felt helpless and desperate. That desperation increased everyday making him sometimes violent and bad behaved towards Sakura,even though he deeply regreted it afterwards he would not say a thing.
They slowly drifted away from each other.Practically so close everyday,yet so far apart. After a period of time they would hardly exchange a word and Noroi would sometimes curse at Sakura when she piled up the courage to try and approach him like before. She started hanging around other people in class and making friends she never had the chance to have. She had turned into a normal,or at least looking like one, teenager. It made Noroi feel peaceful even if he wasnt the only one beside her now.
The day of their graduation was finally coming to an end and after his disturbing sleep,Noroi decided to go out on a walk to the cental square to find someone to pass his time with. He was certain Sakura would be also out with her friends celebrating the end of their student lives and the entrance to adulthood. He wanted to drink as much as he could to drown the memories of his resultless searches for clues. Giving up was not an option even if he was still in the dark about everything.
He walked past billboards and shopping windows,bars,restaurants but nothing seemed attracting. He heard women commenting while he passed them by,but he was too sick of the same type of girls that always hit on him. None of them was a good fuck or a good company even if he got drunk while with them.
The sun had gone down hours ago and he was reaching the other side of town,where thugs,junkies and prostitutes filled the roads. A strangly familiar scent grabbed his attention minutes after he had entered the main road of the area. He followed his nose,shoving people aside to get past the hookers that had gathered around him the second they saw him approach. The scent had wrapped him around it and was pulling him in. All his other senses were blocked. He practically crawled to an alley that led off the scent that drugged him.
The alley was dark and he couldnt see much because the moon was hidden behind some clouds at that moment. Something warm fell on his face. The scent had gotten furiously strong. He smiled. The drop of blood climbed down his lips slowly. Something else glistened in the back of the dead end alley. Red. It was everywhere. In a flash he was back to his dream. She was there.How could he forget about her?
The moon slowly moved out of the clouds and then he saw her. Tall,with her long red hair,her clothes soaked in blood.She looked really young,at his age or a bit older. At her feet was a body. A womans body. A hooker most likely. It wasnt breathing anymore. He didnt have a chance to blink and she was gone. His felt like his heart stopped. Cold lips were pressed against his ear.
-''Where have you been..?''
He panicked and tried to kill the creature with the long hair by removing all the oxygen around. He heard a laugh coming from behind him this time.
-''Silly..After all these years we were apart and you try to kill me? If I was at least still breathing it would make it more fun,but its still fun to watch you try i guess..''
She pushed him to the ground. He was powerless in front of her. He knew there were paranormal beings out there,he was one himself after all,but what was she? And why was she so friendly with him? Why did he find the scent of all this blood so sweet and attractive? She bit him slightly on the side of his mouth while staring at him with her clear grey eyes. She left him lying there,covered in the blood of her victim.
Would he see her again? This had gotten him even more lost than before. He was angry and confused. Why? Why didnt she stay to explain?
He got up in despair,threw away his shirt and tore half of his pants off so that the stains would be less noticeable. He ran with all his might. More charges and suspicion was the last thing he needed right now.

Watashi no Kuroi Tenshi - Hymn 2
Jacob remained silent for a while.. He couldn't hear anyone outside so he didn't waste his voice in calling out for help,it would only exhaust him.
And after a moment the lights went out.The unfortunate events followed one another.
His biggest fear had practically come true. He was trapped in a narrow place in full darkness. He closed his eyes and tried to empty his mind as much as he could. The only thing he could think about in the end was him. His eyes,his voice,his smell,the touch of his hand. Even if it was all his fault,while bringing him to his mind he felt at ease.
And snap! The door cracked open..The emergency lights went on as well. Jacob crawled cautiously out of the bathroom. He could hear people running and yelling,sirens too. The terminals were occupied by chaos.
Security guards,employees,the police and even fire fighters were all over the place calming people down and guiding them away.
What in the world happened...?
He stood up slowly and then he saw it. A plane had caught on fire along with some airport buses that must have been nearby. It had litterally split in half and there wasn't anything clear left to see. It was the plane he was supposed to board,wasn't it... He felt extremely fainty and stood speechless staring at the flames.
Suddenly someone grabbed his shoulder. He flickered before he turned around to see it was just a security guard. Who exactly was he expecting it to be? He felt dissapointed and stupid at the same time.
''Excuse me sir, we are evacuating. There will be no more flights today. You will have to alter your ticket later on. We apologise for the inconvience. Please follow the crowd towards the exit.'' he told him quickly.
''No..I was supposed to board that flight..'' Jacob replied in an almost whispering tone.
The guard kept silent for a second.
''You must have a guardian angel or something. There were no survivors from this flight..''

Yoru no me,part VIII
Noroi stood back and sighed in relief. His work there was done,he guessed. He felt slightly at ease but he knew after he had left Sakura,the hardest part would begin for him.
He picked up his luggage from the living room and started to head outside. Sakura realised it and ran towards him.
-''What's wrong..?'' she asked.'' Where are you going?''
-''Well,i dont seem to belong here,i didnt come with you to take shelter anyway.I made sure that everything will work out and now that it did,i have to go on. I need to start taking care of myself on my own,i would never want to be a burden and i need to get to the bottom of this.My past that is..So i will look for a place to live in,and a school that is low profile for us to get into. When the time is right i will come to get you.Dont worry...You know i can protect myself better than anyone.''
He looked back at her aunt and nodded a goodbye.She smiled and formed a ''thank you'' with her lips. He turned back to Sakura once more. She had a worrysome and kind of sad look in her eyes. She jumped at him and held him tight. He tensed up at first but then relaxed in her arms.
-''I'll be waiting.'' she told him and slowly let go of him.
He kissed her on the forehead and walked out of the house.
He went back to the bus station they had gotten off some hours ago and rode towards downtown again. He had an astray feeling of confusion but he tried to ignore it. And he managed to. With the money he carried he would be able to pull off for a long time and buy his way in and out of almost anything,for that he was reassured. He passed by a neighbourhood that seemed aproppriate for a start. Ghettolike and a bit loud,looked like a place where noone would ask much. It was perfect,he thought. And nobody would suspect a 14 year old of much either. After looking around and asking random older people he was told about a building with empty apartments for rent.
He walked up to the number he was told and faced a grey,unkept building covered in graffitti and dirt. On the lower stories he could see windows broken and garbage filled corners. He didnt mind it as long as he had the peace he needed. He knocked on the landladys door and waited. After a while an old spinster with a sour expression opened slightly enough to be able to put her head out.
-''Huh?! A brat..What it is?'' she asked suspiciously.
Noroi put his kindest tone and frown on and responded.
-''Excuse me madame for the disturbance..I was told that you are renting empty apartments and i am interested in occupying one if possible.'' At least he had to get along with that woman if he was going to live here,he thought while smiling at her.
-''And you,a child,wanting to live on your own? And who'll be paying me the rent,i dont see any parent behind you and you dont seem to be a working boy in the least!Now get lost!'' she said ironically,almost ready to close the door.
Noroi didnt lose his patience. He pulled a package of bills and handed it to the lady,his hand blocking the door,smiling the whole time.
-''I hope that this will cover my first months,wont it madame?''
That shut her up.She looked greedy from the beginning,the kind of woman who would die along with her inheritance burried in her arms and nobody to mourn her.
-''But of course Sir,please excuse me for my doubts before.It is 306 for you,on the third floor.If possible wait here until i bring you the contract to sign.''she said satisfied politely as if she'd turned to somebody else.
Noroi was pleased. The circumstances couldn't have been any more helpful on his behalf.
Money can do anything after all,he said to himself. He was led up the stairs after signing a scrappy contract,to a small apartment but big enough for one or two people to live in. He was given the key and the lady wished him a pleasant stay.As if.. The walls were dull,painted a fainted lilac barely noticable,at least it was better than grey. There was a medium sized living room along with the kitchen which was placed behind a wooden barrier in the background. There was a bathroom with broken tiles,a regular sized shower blackened in the corners and a crooked mirror above its sink. The bedroom had a wooden floor surprisingly not destroyed and smelled like death. Even more like murder he thought.
The furniture wasn't as damaged either so he would just have to clean up the place a bit and it would be inhabitable. He sat on the couch,happy that one of his problems was solved for now. He would go downstairs later and ask the landlady for some information on local schools he and Sakura could go to. Even if he had higher goals and more important matters to him,he couldnt be wandering around as a school dropout and he would not allow Sakura to either. He got up,took off his clothes and walked into his familiar smelling bedroom,and then he slowly closed his eyes for the first time there,to have again the only dream he had ever had. But this time,it was different..

Yoru no me,part VII
The route was long and the wagon was pretty empty..As Sakura was sleeping next to him he was figuring their next move. They passed by small suburbs while heading towards the big city's downtown. He found everything indifferent.. Some hours later the central station started to show in the distance. He slowly moved away from Sakuras side and woke her up.
''Get ready we are almost there.And be prepared..This is going to be a long day.''
She looked around while yawning and picked up her luggage.They disembarged and found themselves surrounded by alot of people that looked to be in a hurry.Sakura held on tightly to Noroi.
''And now what..?'' she asked him worried. He made a sign to her to wait and walked towards the information stand.She saw him talking to the clerk for some time and noticed that he was writting something down.
''And now we got ourselves a location!'' he said while pulling her by the hand through the crowd.
They boarded a bus heading to an area Sakura knew she had heard off. It sounded really familiar generally to her but she was pretty sure she had not ever been there. The bus drove through traffic packed streets before they turned to an abandonded looking area filled with trash,dirt and empty looking buildings.
''This is the last stop.'',the driver announced. They stepped off the bus and started looking for the address on the file.After an hour of wandering on the streets they finally found it.
They stood in front of a decent looking house with a yard,surrounded by a metal fence. The front door was opened so they slowly walked in.
''Who's there?!'' they heard a female voice shouting from deep inside the house.It was a two story well kept building.It certainly didnt house poor people. A woman around her mid thirties jumped right in front of them holding a hammer. Sakura stepped back surprised.
''I'm sorry madam we didnt mean to startle you,we dont mean any harm..'' Noroi told her with a frank tone. ''If you are Suzu Kareta,could we go somewhere we can talk?'' he asked.
The woman led them into the living room.She had black hair and blue eyes like Sakura but was dressed pretty randomly despite the good look of her house.The living room was dusty and filled with family pictures and Noroi was sure the lady lived alone for a long time.
''So tell me what are you here to talk about? Because im a not giving any money to no charity any more.'' she said slightly annoyed.
Sakura stood up and picked a photograph that had drawn her attention from the moment they walked in.
''The woman in the white dress..May i please ask?What is she to you?''she said.
The woman suddenly sgot up from the couch and started yelling.
''What does it have to do with you??Bringing her up like that..She destroyed us that whore...She ruined what was left of my family!!! Get out of my house right away!'' She was clearly upset almost crying but then she kept still.
Noroi had his eyes on her and started speaking.'' I dont want to do something i dont have to,so would you be kind enough to listen to what she has to day and answer?''he said with a soft smile,absolutely calm.
She sat back on the couch without denyal.
''That's my sister.She left home after my father passed away.It drove my mother crazy.She came by all the time begging for money and we could see what she had become.
My mother was desperate to get her back but she would not listen to anything.She dived deeper and deeper in shit.Everytime she came she looked worse.Then we found out she had started selling her body when we would'nt give her any more money. My mother killed herself not long after that..I started hating my sister for it.I wish she would die too.
And some years after she did..How ironic..And then the social services came by and insisted to talk to me about something but i drove them away.I did not want any relation to her and i didnt want to hear anything about her either.
The damage she had done was never going to be mended anyway..So what about her?After all this time what do you want to know?''she was starting to ease up after telling her story to them and stared right into Sakura's eyes.
''She was my mother..And i found out shortly ago that you might be my only living relative..'' Sakura said.
''She has done much harm to me too,if you hate her that makes two of us.I am sorry if i am not wanted here but i just wanted to find out at least who you were.
And thank you for sharing my mother's and your past with me..I am sure i would have never found out about it if it wasnt for you..''
The woman observed Sakura from head to toe,she could see the resemblance clearly now.
She once again stood up and walked to Sakura's side..She streched her arms,no emotion on her face.
Noroi got up right away,alarmed, ready to stop her if necessary.
But then,the woman wrapped her hands around her and began to cry..

Yoru no me,part VI
They now had a new destination. The train had finally arrived.
''You know that i am wanted now dont you?'' he spoke straight while looking into her eyes.
''I wont leave things like this i dont want you involved in the least..Could you give me your orphanage suit and change into something else? Trust me and do it please.'' She remained silent and returned quickly.She handed him the clothes and went back inside.
He took off his shirt and tore it apart,his shoes too. He noticed a pigeon sitting at the edge of a bench a bit further from their spot.He approached it.
The death was instant.
He grabbed its head and broke it like it was a paper doll.The blood slowly started flowing on the clothes. That would do the job.
He then ripped some of his hair and mixed it with the blood on his shirt.
He returned to the platform and approached the guard.
''You are aware of the orphanage near this area dont you?''
He spoke to the scared guard who looked obviously frightened at him and answered possitively in a trembling voice.
''Alright i have work for you,and dont worry you will be paid more than enough for it.
Take these clothes to the orphanage and tell them you found two childrens bodies in the drench past the bridge and the clothes were the only thing left intact.''
The train started whistling.
He stuffed a bunch of money in the guards hand and boarded.
While moving from the platform he shouted at him.''If you fulfill my request as I wish,there will be more from where these came from next time.'' The guard noded and saluted the boy.
Noroi caught Sakura staring at him from her seat.
''Dont worry.There will definitely not be a next time we come back here.'' he said reassuringly. '' And there will be noone searching for us anymore..''
He sat next to her.She looked different away from that place. The light made her eyes and hair sparkle as the sun rose in the sky. He whispered at her.''Thank you..'' She fell asleep shortly afterwards.
He felt a bit funny with a piece of his hair missing on the back of his head. He still stood out too much even if everyone started to think they were dead he had to change so that he would research and look for Rara with more ease.After he made sure Sakura could start a new life he would change from head to toes even if she wasnt happy about it,he felt he had to. He looked at her peaceful face and felt a small flame of hope lighting inside him where he thought only an empty heart existed.
He thought he might have started resembling humans a bit more..

Yoru no me,part V
That name..Where had he heard it before?He wasnt able to match it with a face in his mind but he was sure it was someone important. He also knew that person was the key that could unlock his past..Her location though might be a problem..He was a murderer now he couldnt walk around city services asking for names and he wouldnt want Sakura involved either..He would figure out what to do once they had both settled down..He sighed and looked at Sakura..
She had been starring at her envelope for a while now while holding it in her hand..
-''Why dont you open it too?'' he asked.
-''Well i dont think there will be any big news in here anyways..'' she faked a smile and tried to put the file aside.
Noroi grabbed it out of her hand and opened it.

-''Do you think that person thought i might be like ..her..? Is that why she would hate me so much to not even consider to take me in? Maybe i really am like her..'' she whispered,getting closer to the edge by each step..

-''So..You still believe there was no big news in here,huh?'' he said ironically.
She was standing at the edge of the platform moving towards the gap. She looked as if she had been shot dead. She laughed to herself and thought,why would someone do that to their own relative..She had never met her before so how was she so absolute in turning her custody away before even getting to know her? They had the same last name so it must be a person from her mothers side that was certain..
-''Do you think that person thought i might be like ..her..? Is that why she would hate me so much to not even consider to take me in? Maybe i really am like her..'' she whispered,getting closer to the edge by each step..
Suddenly she felt someone grab her and pull her back..Her one foot was already hanging above the gap..
-''I will take care of it,i promise. Just stop thinking any of it might be your fault.'' Noroi held her tightly as he said those words.Tears started flowing from Sakuras eyes as they both watched the sun rising up the clowdy sky.
He would take care of everything,he thought to himself. That was the only thing he could do for her at least. Get her to a new safe home and make her live a normal life as possible.Try to mend the wounds of her past if he couldnt fix the least bit of his. He was only able to do that much for the one person who was never afraid to approach him and accept his sinful excistence..
She had become important like noone else ever had. (to be continued..)

Yoru no me,part IV
The moonlight was the only thing that lit the room. Noroi entered and Sakura followed with hesitation. He was certain the noise wasnt loud enough to upset the deep sleep of the nuns,but he kept being alerted just in case. He went past each archive and found his file in the special cases section. Sakura was taken over by curiousity and reached for her file too.
Suddenly she froze.
Noroi turned around to find her in the arms of the Head nun.He didnt even blink before she fell on her knees instantly releasing Sakura and started choking.
-'' You know..I could kill you on the instant i felt your presence..But this may turn out to be convenient for me.'',he whispered softly while smirking.
-''You demon..cease this at once..'' she began to sweat while holding her neck in an attemp to breathe..
-''Oh but it's so much fun..Like the fun i had when i first came in..The marks may have gone but i can still feell the heat on my body..I'll make you feel it too or maybe you'll be a good girl and take me to where all my money is''
Sakura stood at the corner holding back her tears..She knew this was coming but how was she supposed to feel?
-''Huh..my breath is back to normal..'' the nun slowly stood up with a scared and angry expression all over her face. She started walking down the alley towards the stairs that led to the old attic. She unlocked the door and passed through. The two of them followed her. She walked to a giant cupboard and opened it. Noroi could see the shelves filled with stacks of money.Was that actually all his..? He laughed to himself and thought that before they reached the nuns hands there was even more.
-''Do you have our papers Sakura?'' he asked but didnt turn his head an inch.
-''Yes it is all here..''she answered with an unsteady voice.
-''Good..Put the money in any bag you find inside this dump..'' he told her while keeping his eyes on the frozen nun.
She grinned her teeth together..
-''You are not going to get away with this you brats!'' she yelled at him.
-''I would not be so sure if i was in your position..You are of no more use to me now you see..How about we end your miserable life here,so noone else will suffer like i did.And with one person less there will be more oxygen for everyone dont you think..?''
She didnt have any time to answer. Her body started shaking,she hit the ground. She made pointless efforts to regain her breath. Slowly,blood began to come out her nostrills while at the same time she turned blue..
And then nothing..
Sakura quickly stepped backwards and the bag with the money fell out of her hands.She left out a soundless scream with tears running from her eyes endlessly..
-''Dont be afraid..'',he came close to her and held her for the first time since they had met. ''You are the only person i would never hurt.If anyone ever does i swear i will kill them too..Everything that happens tonight,we take to our graves.''
She started exhalling while she calmed down..He could feel her heartbeat next to his. He grabbed the bag,took her hand and run towards their dormitory. She had never seen him run like this before.It was as if he was chained throughout all of these years and now he had finally been released..
-''Gather up your stuff we are getting out of here.'' he said.He was smiling.. She could see it was an honest smile,a childish one,a smile of happiness and relief. She put the envelopes in her luggage and followed Noroi outside..
She told him she knew the location of the nearest train station..It took them an hour to reach it on foot but they didnt mind long distances. They reached a deserted platfrom in the end..The station master informed them the train would come first thing in the morning. They sat next to each other on the edge of the platform..
-''Can you give me the envelope now?''
Sakura took both out..Noroi opened his without a minute of delay..

Yoru no me,part III
Sakura had realised from their fist impact that he was no normal child and she did not care to learn anything about it as long as she could stand by him.
They were both outcasts of society and the orphanage both. Being the daughter of a drug user single mother who died of an overdose,with her fathers identity uknown because of her mother profession,she was never given the chance to live an inch of a normal childhood. Her first home was a Christian Orphanage in a ghetto in the suburbs,for she was told there were no other living relatives to take care of her. She had never known anyone except her no-good of a mother ever so she didnt even hope for a happy home from now on,it would be pointless to deceive herself she thought.
After 2 years the orphanage was at the edge of bankruptcy due to the death of their solely donator. Most children were transfered before they passed away from the famine that took over the place. Others were already teenagers and thought of as being adults so they were left to go out to society. Maybe they would make it,maybe not..The nuns would always murmur ''God is great my children,he will never leave you alone.'' They could say that much because they already had a home waiting for them.
And so she came to be in the same orphanage as Noroi. She wondered if such a thing as coincidence exists in life..She never really thought that way.Carefreely that is..Growing up on the streets had taught her whom to trust and whom not to. Whose face hid emotions,sorrow,lies,greed,fear..Eyes are said to be a window to ones soul. His eyes were honest ones,she knew he would not betray her. She only had to be patient enough to get him to bring his shield a bit down for her to reach him. And slowly there she was,entering his fortress,it was an achievement she would be proud of for the rest of her life.
Noroi started treating her differently when they were alone. He was her hero,her reason to hold on. He had no past to speak off but lived everyday with the only purpose of leaving and putting the puzzle of his life back together. Without the pieces he said he had no true identiny.
At night he would sneak out of the dorm into the Head nun office to try and find out anything possibly helpful.. He had a partner now as well. Sakura kept watch while he tried to open the door,but was always interrupted by the watchguards going by. He knew there was something there they werent supposed to find out about. He never believed the guards were there for their safety as to what the nuns would say when he asked why there were extra expenses that cut down the food and study supplies budget. If it was as they said why did they only keep guard at the wing where every childs file was kept? Noone would be fooled by that. Especially when his money was spent on it. Because until he was an adult the nuns claimed he had no right to use the money he was left with. Instead they would spend it themselves for mostly useless selfish reasons such as christian books,extra bibles,wooden custom made crosses and other unedible stuff.
He didnt especially care about the other orphans or about living more luxuriously but that was his money and he had no common intelectual quality to be manipulated by some overweight ugly bats. He kept his patience and waited for his chance for as long as it would take.. Three years had almost passed and the old watch guard got transferred due to heavy heart disease that dissalowed lack of rest and him overworking. The new guard that came in was in his late twenties and seemed to hate his job. He would sometimes slack off at his post only sitting in font of the office door and falling half asleep.
With Sakura coming aboard and the guard change,the plan was made much easier for him.
During of the nights of their mission he had noticed the new watch guard frequently visiting a young nun's room at the end of the file wing where they slept. At one of the nights they tracked his moves,he went into the room and didnt look like he would be coming out any soon. They figured so after Sakura eavesdropped and they sure sounded they would be busy for quite some time..It was his opportunity.
He took a match and a piece of coal out of his pocket. He lit the match.. He asked Sakura to step back and cover her ears. He placed the coal inside the keyhole of the office and stuck the unlit end of the match next to it.. She saw him widely open his eyes while the air of the room started to change.She couldnt breathe as well as a while ago.. A pale blue liquid bubble began to form near the keyhole. She could see it clearly float in front of Noroi..And then she witnessed the keyhole explode when the bubble finally reached and soaked the coal. She kept still in shock.
The door was now open. (to be continued...)

Yoru no me,part II
At the deepest corner of the playroom sat a little young boy.From afar people would have guessed he was a fairy or a magical being because of his extraordinary beauty and the sad but mellow aura that surrounded him.Any other kid would not approach near his place and the nuns in charge never understood why,but didnt especially pay attention to that event or to the boy either.Every day he would sit there silently,motionless and alone.
But one day a little girl walked up slowly towards him..He had already sensed her coming for a while now while he was gazing at the ceiling.
-''Please stay away'',he said calmely.
The girl hesitated but kept walking forward slowly but stadily..
-''I think i told you to stay away..'' His instant look made her tremble and stopped her breath.
She felt like suffocating,but fought against it..Her pace started to reach him at last,she wouldnt give up now.His charm had drawn her close to him and she wanted to do anything possible to at least look at his face up close..
-''Please could you stop what you're doing to me..It hurts..And i will not stay away! You cant order me to..Even if i have to suffer like this i wont!''
-''Who exactly do you think you are,you little fly?'' The pain stopped..He suddenly turned around grabbed her and drew her next to him..The trembling was still there but she didnt mind it..
-''I just transfered from the Suburbian Christian Orphanage,my name is Sakura!I was hoping we could be friends..''
-''Friends..?Friends,you say..Dont make me laugh.nothing good will come to you from being friends with me,i can assure you that.Cant you see everyone keeps a distance from me?Why dont you go ahead and do the same,huh?''
-''Maybe because i am not everyone..'' Her watery childish eyes and her crooked smile soothed him a bit after all these long tormenting years he had spent there.
''...You dont have to be alone anymore..'' she whispered..Her words traveled inside the gray dull walls and slipped to his ears..He smirked..
It was his 10th birthday. (to be continued..)

Eyes of the night-Yoru no me
''Eternity is so lonely..but if i spend it with you..''
It was graduation day for the students of a downtown High school.You could feel the rays of the spring sun running through the curtains of the classroom.You could also hear an annoying snore coming from an almost empty class. A sudden thump woke Noroi up.He looked around irritated to find his childhood friend and schoolmate Sakura standing above his head.
-''Jeez Noroi kun! Class is over already! I know you dont care but show at least some interest it's our last day in school ever!''
He looked at her yawning with an angry look on his face.
-''Oh,why don't you shut up nobody asked you to care anyway! I never get enough sleep at night and i dont give a fuck about my future as long as i have graduated i dont have any big plans like all of you kiddies and you're well aware of that..Even if i did it would be pointless to dream in such a ghastly world''
She looked down embarrassed..
-''We spent most of our lives together i should know that much dont worry,but i cannot not care..I am off now so please gather up any stuff you may have left and go get your gown. You can at least try to look a bit happy about graduation and put that philosophy aside for a while..''
She walked out of the classroom in a quick pace her long black hair waving,reflecting the beautiful sun upon them.That sure was a worthless effort,he thought.He got up and threw all his books in his schoolbag,got down the stairs and left the building.Behind him screams of enthusiasm echoed throughout the school grounds.Walking towards the bus station he thought about his 18 years of life.
He grew up to be a tall well built guy.He showed an indifferent attitude towards school life or adolescence whatsoever,he was way cut off from that long ago.He would never have a normal life he knew that from the beginning,for he had a private hobby nobody would ever find out.So it was best to keep everyone away.For their own good perhaps..Noone should know,nobody should get involved..Everyone would see who he really was..A monster.Better off disguised.
People act through everyday life,why would he be so different,his life was a well put together act,not a soul could see through it,or so he thought..
He had dyed his hair black from the icy blonde he was born with so that he wouldnt be able to stand out in the crowd and hid his crimsonlike eyes behind glasses,he had average grades and apart from sleeping in class never caused any trouble.Well behaved in general,except to Sakura who knew a part of his dark true self but only a part that scratched the surface of reality.
He got off the bus and headed to his apartment.He didnt know why but the parents he never met left him with a respectable amount of money enough for a more than decent lifestyle,but he was no regular teenager so he didnt hastely spend much of it,only covered basic needs and life expences.
He threw himself on his bed and fell asleep once more.He dreamed the same dream he saw as long as he remember himself.
Dark figures,running,he was been chased,a familiar voice yelled from behind,he never recognised the voice though,he felt like a huge gap blocked his mind,split images of a cold night,a room filled with his favourite smell,delicious smell.He jumped up drenched in his sweat as usual..He was certain his dreams were real,memories,his own maybe?He never knew.
There was a warmth in those nightmares he had never felt since a child that far he knew.His memories started when he had been in front of a huge door of the topic orphanage.
All past it was black and empty. (to be continued..)
