Gravitation Fan Fiction ❯ Be My Last ❯ X-amount of Words ( Chapter 1 )

Hi there!! For those of you who are new to who I am I am Loveless19 and by far from being the brilliant creator of Gravitation.

 

A little bit about me:

BlooDy-MaY is my beta because I can't spell worth crap even with spell-check (I know it's really sad ^.^) and she is the one who helped me come up with the title ^.^

I don't like flames (who does??) but I do love reviews and suggestions for further chapters (they make me update faster ^.^)

Ok I'll stop rambling.

 

 

Be My Last

Chapter One: X-Amount of Words

 

 

 

I'm standing on a bridge,

I'm waiting in the dark,

I thought that you would be here by now,

There's nothing but the rain no forceps on the ground

I'm listening but there's no sound.

Isn't anyone trying to find me?

Won't somebody come take me home?

It's a damn cold night trying to figure out this life,

Won't you take me by the hand take me somewhere new?

I don't know who you are but I, I'm with you, I'm with you, oh oh.

I'm looking for a place,

I'm searching for a face,

Is anybody here I know?

Cause nothings going right, and everything's a mess,

And no one likes to be alone.

Isn't anyone trying to find me?

Won't somebody come take me home?

It's a damn cold night, trying to figure out this life,

Won't you take me by the hand take me somewhere new,

I don't know who you are but I, I'm with you, I'm with you yeah yeah.

Oh! Why is everything so confusing?

Maybe I'm just out of my mind, yeah yeah yeah y-e-ah,

It's a damn cold night, trying to figure out this life,

Won't you take me by the hand take me somewhere new?

I don't know who you are but I, I'm with you, I'm with you,

Take me by the hand take me somewhere new, I don't know who you are, but I,

I'm with you, I'm with you,

Take me by the hand take me somewhere new, I don't know who you are but I, I'm with you, ah,

I'm with you, I'm with you

 

A young boy stood outside a grand house looking out into the distance as he let the memories envelope his sukura pink locks and cloud his deep amethyst eyes. On the outside the boy appeared to be the epitome of innocence, with wide eyes that shone like amethyst jewels in the debt of night and a heart shaped face that could charm anyone it met. What no one could see was the pain and disappointment that were imbedded deep within those sparkling jewels, and the true loneliness the boy faced. All his life he had been sheltered allowed only to play with his closest friend Hiroshi Nakano, and even lately not even that. Whether his parents feared outer influence or not, he was continually watched and always told never to speak to anyone, unless that directly addressed him, rater ironic for a child with the voice of an angel to never be able to express himself to a world he so truly wished he could join.

His name was Shuichi Shindou son of a high corporate money firm owner, Akito Shindou and his wife Shimaru Shindou, and brother to their daughter Maiko. Maiko had never been treated like Shuichi, with long brown hair and dark brown eyes, Maiko was the traditional Japanese daughter, anything but out of the ordinary. All Shuichi's life he had been told that he was strange and that if he talked to people he would spread his strangeness, when he actually longed to speak and play outside with Hiro instead of always have to offer him tea and desert. He had been denied that freedom, his only comfort was to stay in his room and think, his only playmate his music and lyrics. Shuichi had actually begun to wonder why he was here, at this grand party that all the aristocrats and high society men and women attended. He didn't belong with them, he didn't fit in with their social agendas or their high expectations, sure he had the name, but that was all, and he didn't have the voice for it either.

Singing softly to himself Shuichi stared out across the extensive estate that lay before him, for Shuichi it was almost an alien sight, a emotion stirring deep inside himself almost to be compared to fear, a longing, a wanting and yearning to go away somewhere that was far from the reaches of his parents. Shuichi was so engrossed in the vast estate that he didn't hear someone approach him, or hear himself singing just loud enough for the audience in company to hear.

 

“You have a very beautiful voice; I don't think I've ever heard anything quite like it. What is your name?”

 

“Shuichi Shindou, I'm pleased to meet you.” Shuichi mumbled softly, almost to the point of where the stranger could barely hear him, but the stranger had well trained ears and could hear the young angel quite clearly.

 

“My name is Ryuichi Sakuma. I was just fixing to go up and sing on stage when I noticed you out here, you seem very lonely will you come inside and sing with me?” Ryuichi asked offering his hand to the younger boy.

 

“Please Shuichi?” Ryuichi said clasping his hand in Shuichi's firmly and pulling the boy towards the entrance of the large house. Noticing the boy seemed to be frightened Ryuichi slowed down to try and comfort the young boy, smiling when they finally reached the stage.

 

“Have you ever heard my music Shuichi?” Ryuichi asked trying to get the young angel to speak once more in his beautiful voice.

 

“Yes I have. My friend Hiro loves your music and always allows me to listen to his, but I haven't seen him in so long so I haven't heard it in a while.” Shuichi replied still looking at the floor.

 

“Then shall we sing one of the older ones you know? Which one do you like the best?” Ryuichi said stopping as he approached the entry to the stage.

 

“Umm…how about You Look So Fine I've always enjoyed that one…” Shuichi said still looking at the floor.

 

“Alight I've always had a soft spot for that one as well. Well shall we go on then?” Ryuichi said smiling kindly at the Shuichi who had begun to shake slightly.

 

“I'm sorry Sakuma-san if our son has been bothering you, he tends to do that quite often.” Akito Shindou said approaching with his wife who grabbed onto Shuichi's arm almost painfully tight.

 

“It is no problem Shindou-san Shuichi-kun has done nothing wrong, I was actually asking him to come on stage and sing with me, he has a beautiful voice, and I would like to sing with him.” Ryuichi said frowning as he saw Akito Shindou round on a now scared looking Shuichi.

 

“Is that true Shu-chan?” Akito asked shaking Shuichi and digging his fingernails painfully into Shuichi's arm

 

“Yes…” Shuichi said not looking up at his father.

 

“What have we told you about singing and talking? Huh? Look at me when I'm talking to you.” Akito said yanking the young boys eyes to meet his.

 

“You let Maiko do it…you let Maiko talk and have fun…why not me as well?” Shuichi asked meekly looking at Akito right in the eyes.

 

“Because Maiko isn't a freak like you. What kind a boy has pink hair and purple eyes?” Akito said gripping Shuichi by his hair.

 

“And what kind of boy has the body of a girl, and a silky lush voice that makes everyone care about him on meeting? Huh? Tell me Shuichi, because I myself have been dieing to know for years.” Gaining no response from the small boy, the only sound that could be heard around the large room was the loud smack of hand to cheek, and the thump of a body falling to the floor. Looking down indifferent at the now shaking boy at his feet Akito gave a smooth kick before smirking at the young boy.

 

“You disgrace me. Now apologize to Sakuma-san, we are leaving.” Akito said making way to say his good-bye to Ryuichi.

 

“I wouldn't be getting to hasty about leaving yet Shindou-san. That is unless you would like me to report you to the officials for Child abuse and watch as your business goes down the drain.” Tohma Seguchi of Nittle Grasper said standing with a few men around him.

 

“Seguchi-san…I'm sorry to cause such a problem for you, we were actually fixing to leave weren't we Shuichi-kun?” Akito said looking at the boy still sitting cowering on the floor.

 

“Yes father.” Shuichi said getting up slowly and beginning to approach his father, each step becoming heavier.

 

“I don't think you will. Shuichi-kun I believe that Ryuichi-kun asked you to sing with him, would you please? It would greatly disappoint him if you didn't, and make him cry.” Tohma said giving Shuichi an encouraging smile looking towards Ryuichi

 

“Yes Seguchi-san, arigato.” Shuichi said turning to Ryuichi looking up at the man whose aura had become very dark.

 

“Do you still want to sing with me now Sakuma-san?” Shuichi said looking down at his feet in shame.

 

“Of coarse Shuichi, I would love to sing with you. No one should be forced to conceal such a beautiful voice; a gift that was naturally given at that. Come on Shuichi everyone is waiting.” Ryuichi said grabbing Shuichi's hand and pulling him onto the stage.
