Other Fan Fiction ❯ Pitch Black ❯ Chapter One ( Chapter 1 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

Yuuutsu stared out the backseat window of the car, his completely black eyes glaring at the world as he passed. His mom glanced back at him and smiled weakly. It was a too much trouble to talk to him as he wouldn't converse back.
As the car pulled up at the high school Utsu sighed and dragged his binder towards him and hopped out of the car. "Bye Yuu-" his mom started. He just slammed the door before she could finish. He had always been like this. Ever since he was a child. No one knew what started it, so of course no one knew how to stop it. Yuutsu's most distinguishing features was his pitch black eyes. They actually were pitch black, no color. Not even white around the irises. Sometimes when his dark hair fell in his eyes, you couldn't tell, it was as if they had morphed together.
He glared at the school itself and trudged into the front hall were most people cleared out of his way. Nobody bothered to talk to him but one guy. His name was Yukai. Yukia was jumping form the prep group to the goths-who-refuse-to-be-called-goths group. The latter group usually shunned him until Utsu got there, then Utsu talked to the preppy red hair boy and shunned the goths. Freaky, ne?
"Utsu!" Yukai exclaimed, running to join his dark haired friend, his sapphire blue eyes sparkling. "Hey." Utsu said, eyeing the boy like he was dangerous. Yukai, dangerous.....that's like saying a kitten can kill you. The boy cocked his head to one side and shrugged. The made their way into the auditorium where the the noise was loud enough to deafen a deaf man. The only reason Utsu stayed in there was for Yukai. They sat down close to the front where hardly anyone was and Yukai talked on and on about the most little of things with Utsu saying about 3 words every 5 minutes. He sat up a bit straighter when the new Mexican Exchange student walked onto the stage and sang a really freaky song, "I...am...gonna...dance dance dance dance! I...am...going...to...break dance dance dance break dance dance dance. I...am...going...to-" Roger got cut off by a book hitting him square in the head and he fell off stage. Two girls named Emily and Pia who had for some odd reason befriended the poor boy covered their faces, dragged him up, and shoved him out of the auditorium before he caused himself further embarrassment and physical damage. Utsu smiled a rare smile which was gone in the matter of seconds but left a open-mouthed expression on Yukai's face.
"What?" he growled."Nothing.""NO! What was it!?!""Well, you never really smile, at me atleast.""Maybe I do when your not looking.""Really""NO. Shut up."
Yukai sighed and slid down in his chair. Sometimes it was so difficult to be Yuuutsu's friend. A group of wanna be goths passed and smiled at Utsu, one goth giving Yukai a wink. Utsu jumped up and growled, "I suggest you go before I rip out your intestines and use them to choke you in the bathroom where no one will discover your body until it starts to rot and the stench becomes unbearable." The goth guy just stared and coughed. He rushed to catch up to his friends. Utsu smiled, yet again, and sat back down. "Wh-Why did you do that?" Yukai asked. "Because the guy was basically undressing you with his eyes and nobody's does that to my friends...friend."
Yukai laughed and felt happy, "So your, my friend?" "NO. Shut up." Yukai just playfully glared and jumped as the bell rang. He sighed, "I have choir now, joy." Utsu laughed, "But your a fag you'll feel comfortable around all the preppy boys." Yukai glared and pushed Utsu into his English class, "No skipping classes today, okay baka?" "Fine" Yuuustu snapped.
Utsu sat at the back row last seat on the right,The preppy girl next to him popped her gum a number of times before her boyfriend showed up, the same goth who he had told off, who gave him a look that pleaded, 'PLEASE don't tell her!'. "Did you know your boyfriend is also gay, giving a prep boy 'The Wink' " Utsu said quietly and closed his black eyes. He heard the satisfying noise of flesh on flesh, "Bastard!" "Thanks dude!" "Your welcome."The teacher glared at Utsu as he passed out little fliers to everyone. Yuuutsu sighed as he picked his up gently and read the contents on the pink page. It was yet another attempt on the teachers part to get his students with the lowest grades to participate and pass his class. Guess who was one of the select few failing? Yep, Yuuutsu.
'Dress the opposite of your regular self and participate in the activities your new look might participate in. Three Free 100's for the most drastic change.' Yuuutsu thought of all the Abercrombie shirts and Hollister pants that were pushed to the back of his closest by his Hot Topic Shirts and Spencers Pants. He smiled lightly, not by the thought of a preppy him or by the thought of passing a class, he was smart enough to pass if he actually participated, it was the thought of Yukai's tight little ass in some emo pants, and his torso in a black shirt finished off by Etnies shoes or maybe Vans. That's what made him smile.The smirk quickly faded as Utsu figured out the exact reason of its origin. He felt his head fall into his upturned palms as he sighed. These feelings had been coming into his head often and he was sick of them. He wanted them gone, being gay wasn't an option. His family hated him enough since he was the cause of his fathers death. They didn't care enough to hear HIS side of the story.
*FlashBack*The demon laughed as its fingers pushed Utsu's chin gracefully up. "Where is he? The one you gave the name 'Father'? No one of his filthy state deserves that name." the demon said laughing. "Wh-What state?" The little boy, about four at the time, stuttered, his emerald green eyes filling with tears. "You don't know? I guess no one knows but me. Your father is also a demon. My brother. I guess I'm your uncle you half-ling." the demon said coldly, stabbing his nail enough into the soft chubby skin under the boys chin for it to bleed. Utsu winced about as the color in his eyes started to fade, darker. Now a forest green, no longer shining. Without knowing, his soul was being taken. "Ho-ow Could that be!?!" the boy cried with a heart-wrenching scream as they tears spilled from his now completely black irises, the black spreading rapidly into the white. "Simple. He put all his effort into becoming human, if only for a short amount of time. Amazingly, we all thoguht he disappeared and he had enough time to make love to the woman he had become infatuated with, get her pregnant, marry her, and live for four years of your life. But now he has no more energy left and is slowly becoming the monster he always was. Only you know where he is. Where?" the demon asked roughly, gaining power from Utsu's spirit."Yuuutsu!!" his father cried,and swung down from a tree near the two. The demon uncle had interrupted a father/son camping trip and Father was pissed. He leaped onto the demon and knocked him away from Utsu but he was too late. Only a sliver of white remained in his eyes, not enough to notice at all, not enough to be counted as a true spirit but enough to keep him living through the agonizing time period now known as his life. The demon stabbed his father through the heart with his own hand, smirked and said four simple words that had no effect on Yuuutsu no more but would send a normal person trembling. Those words were, "I will come back." and then he left. Leaving a four year old boy, tears now stopped, with the corpse of his father.*End Flashback*
When he had arrived home, he had been blamed for his fathers death even though no one voiced it aloud. So Yuuutsu was forced to live his life in the dark, no love being received or being taken. That was until he turned fourteen and Yukia moved in next door. They had been instant friends despite their difference's. The bell rang and Yuutsu jumped, noticing he had missed all of the teachers lecture. No loss there.He hurried to his locker, and opened it swiftly. He pulled at his leather jacket only for Yukia's pants to fall onto him. The light blue pants had holes all over them, meant to be there, and Yuuutsu's mother had bought him a pair in a darker blue shade that he never wore. He sighed as he noticed Yukia's boots, shirt, and other...clothing as Yukia's next class was Competive Athletics, meaning gym clothes. So, being as his locker was closer to the gym, Yukia's stuffed all his clothes in Yuutsu's locker. Utsu chuckled and shut the locker gently.
He walked up onto the roof as the tardy bell for second period rang and stuck a match and shielded it from the cold winter air. He quickly lit his cigarette and took a huge puff of the nicotine air into his lungs. He exhaled slowly making smoke rings. He heard footsteps on the steps leading to his position and quickly dropped the cigarette onto the ground and smothered it. Yukia and a group of prep friends come onto the roof, Yukia looking pissed."Skipping?" the boy asked, arching a eyebrow.
"No, just tardy." Yuutsu replied hoping Yukia didn't notice the smokey air."We're you smoking Uts-Chan?" a girl with innocent blue eyes and bright blonde hair asked, thrusting her...enormous torso forward and pouting a lip. Obviously flirting with him.
"Mind your business." he replied, pushing past her and Yukia quickly followed. "Hey, stop." Yukia called and quickly turned Yuutsu around. "Whats wrong?""Nothing, just be happy. It will make me happy." Utsu said, smiled lightly and the black that overcame the white when he was four descended back into white half an inch. But just for a second. One Yukia disappeared back into the gym as Yuuutsu changed into his gym clothes the black overcame it yet again.
BANG!!The sound echoed off the expansive gym walls at Yuuutsu got hit in the head with a dodge ball, throwing him onto the floor with the force. Yuutsu jumped back up his fists doubled. "Who the HELL threw that!?!" he yelled and Yukia hurried over to him and clamped his hand onto Yuutsu's mouth. Mumbled cuss words tumbled out of his mouth until he licked Yukia's hand and the preppy boy let him go and he ran at the wanna-be goth, his name is Eiri, that had been winking at Yukia. He had a fist a few inches away from the younger boys face when the coach caught his fist and wrote him a pink slip. Yukia sighed and lowered his head as Utsu mouthed 'Sorry'.
Sitting in the office, the principal's assistant smiled at him and handed him one of his manga's that he asked her to keep for these certain reasons. Being the last day before Christmas break there was a line of troublemakers. Surprisingly, most of them were preps. This one freshman came out with a HIM hoodie in his arms, a pout on his lips. Since HIM's sign, the heartagram, was a play on the pentagram it was strongly forbidden on school grounds. Yuutsu sighed looking at the long line but as the principal stepped out of his office he immediately asked for Yuuustsu in his office.
"What did you do this time?""What do you mean, what did I do? That bastard hit me with a dodge ball.""Its called dodge ball. The point is to dodge the ball""I was out.""Ah. I'll give you mercy since this is the last day before break. Go one to the game rooms."
Yuutsu nodded in thanks and hurriedly ran to the bathroom and changed as quickly as possible and stuffed his gym clothes into his locker, stole some money form Yukia and headed to the game room as instructed. Since, it was a game day Yuutsu had decided he had wanted to skip but his mom figured out they had first and second period and got shipped off to school anyway. That's okay, it was better then staying home locked up in his room all day now wasn't it?"Uts-Chan!!" The crimson headed boy cried, using Utsu's nickname only he could call him, tackled Utsu to the ground, putting them in a rather uncomfortable position. Utsu's lanky form on the bottom, one leg curled around Yukia's legs and his arms across his back. Yukia, was on top of course, his arms by Utsu's face and his lips extremely close the opposite boys. Yukia jumped up, blushing. "Um...what game do you wanna play? Your pick." Yukia said dusting off his green shirt.
Utsu, actually blushing, mumbled something inaudible. But that didn't mean Yukia couldn't guess. "Hm, I'm gonna guess that those sounds meant Grand THeft Auto?" he said seeing the only blood filled game in the room. Utsu nodded and rushed off towards the game, checking behind his shoulder every few seconds to make sure Yukia followed. After thirty min. of bloody killing and gaining life from hookers, Utsu finally died. He pouted a bit but soon followed Yukia to the food stand. H pulled the stolen money from his pocket and bought a bottle of water as did Yukia. They knew of the legendary water fight that came with Christmas Break every year. Damn, they participated in it a few times. So they kept money for more ammo as the long line for water finally disappered and girls were on one side, boys on the other. Since this was a school-legal event no one as wearing white. On the instructions of the vice principal everyone opened their water bottles. The shrill sound of a whistle came thought eh air making every one wince as they flung water this way and that. Utsu, having wasted his bottle on Eiri ran up to the counter, still dry, and bought four more bottles.
A surprise attack come into action and Yukia tackled Ustu, again, and poured the water over Utsu's head. Utsu struggled to get up and finally succeeded in pushing the hyper boy off of him and started chasing him around, wanting revenge. This fight lasted until every single person, prep or goth, gangster or nerd, was completely and thoroughly soaked. With most the guys, Utsu included, you could see their chiseled chest through the sopping shirt that clung to their torso. Shivering slightly, Yuuutsu sat huddling on the bleachers with Yukia until the final bell rang. Once it did he took off running, Yukia not far behind.
Yukia lived by Yuuutsu, just across the street, and they were both forced to walk home on the exhaustingly hot day. Despite the heat, when Utsu reached his house his hair was still dripping drops onto his neck and top part of his shirt. He let himself and Yukia in the front door, once in his younger sister, by a year, walked out of her room and drooled over Yukia like she always did. Utsu growled, and that surprised him as well as Yukia, when his sister usually did that Yuuutsu would roll his eyes and ignore them. Utsu shook it off and walked into the kitchen were he took two cans of coke out of the fridge and turned to give one to Yukia for him to be pressed against the counter by the red-haired boy. "Yu-Yukia?" he stuttered, his voice squeaky. He admitted he had been thinking of Yukia all day, in that way, but if he had pictured this scene in his mind earlier it would be completely opposite. It would be Yukia pushed against the counter not him.
Yukia saw the disappointed look on Utsu's face and backed up, 'Yeah?' he asked as if nothing happened. Utsu shook his head and saw his hands were shaking also, 'Fuck, now he knows he scared the shit outta mean.' he mentally screamed as he diverted his eyes from Yukia's face as he handed him his coke. "Wanna see what's on Fuse?" Utsu asked, a plan forming in his mind. Yukia nodded and gave him a smile that showed his teeth.
For a prep, Yukia could be downright gothic if he wanted. He knew every word to every song that came on the 'Top 20 Countdown'. Form 30 Seconds to Mars to The Used. From Panic! At the Disco to Disturbed. He knew them all. Not that Utsu didn't, he knew them as well, but that YUKIA knew them took him off guard. He had to keep himself from tackling Yukia right then and there. He couldn't enjoy the show for a part of his lower body kept increasing in size at the more things he thought about Yukia. He was the perfect match for Utsu. He sighed as he sank to the floor slowly, by Yukia, silently thanking Kami that his room was dark and hid his 'giveaway' clearly. A few minutes passed before it went away and his mother called him to dinner. Seeing Yukia she was surprised, Utsu never had visitors this late into the day. "Is Yukia staying fro dinner?" his mother asked as they walked down the stairs. "Do you wanna?" Utsu asked, shrugging at his mother. Yukia shook his head "No thank you, I'm not very hungry." Utsu nodded and looked at his mom, "I'm going out, Okay?" he didn't wait for an answer as he rushed himself and Yukia out the door. 'I know he wants to be the one to make a move. But he better hurry before my hormones take over. That is IF he likes me." Yukia thought silently as he kicked a stone along the sidewalk as he and Yuuustu headed towards the local park.
