'There's a mass without roofs,
A prison to fill,
There's a country's soul that reads post no bills.
There's a strike and a line of cops outside of the mill,
There's a right to obey,
And a right to kill.'
~Rage Against the Machine, "Calm Like A Bomb"

"Oi� Lime Acid. Wake up." Seiya shook Yaten a little harder.
"Eh�?" Yaten cracked her eyes open, taking in the daylight. She let out a deep sigh and wiped the sweat* from her forehead. Yaten looked at Seiya's pale face, and found a trace of a smile on her lips. "What time is it�?"
"Time for you to go home. It's 2:30. If we leave now, you'll make it home by 3." Seiya rolled her heavy black sleeve down over her watch, and looked back at Yaten, who was staring at her. Seiya lifted an eyebrow. "What are you staring at?" Yaten shook her head and stood up, stretching. She looked into Seiya's mirror. She noted her pale, now clammy skin, the bags under her eyes, her dilated pupils*.
"I look like SHIT." Yaten grabbed a tissue from Seiya's dresser and wiped her face, trying to rid it of the sweat. But her face still remained clammy. She growled low in her throat and slammed her hands down on the dresser. "Damnit!" Seiya rolled her eyes and groaned.
"I must have given you the higher purity* heroin. It's so obvious. You've got the 'heroin chic' look."
"Whatever." Yaten grabbed her school bag off of Seiya's floor. "I need to start going home now." Yaten began walking out of Seiya's room, muttering to herself. Seiya's eyes widened.
"Holy shit. She got really fucked up." Seiya scrambled out of her chair, and jogged after Yaten who was already halfway down the stairs. Yaten moaned and put a hand to her head, beginning to wobble. Once Seiya was behind Yaten, she scooped Yaten up in her arms.
"I'm not a baby. You can put me down."
"Shut up, would you? Jesus Christ. You don't have to be such a bitch." X blinked and glanced at Seiya and Yaten from where he was playing cards with Dragon Tears. Dragon Tears shifted his eyes to the two girls as well, lifting an eyebrow. Seiya glared at them and practically growled out her statement. "Someone get off their lazy ASS and open the door for me." X sweat dropped, scrambled to his feet in an ungraceful manner, and ran to the door. He swung it open, and grumbled.
"You can be a real pain in the ass." Seiya glanced at him and narrowed her eyes from a moment before walking out the door with a scowling Yaten in her arms. X scowled and slammed the door shut.
"Victim of the queen, eh?" Dragon Tears snickered.
"As always." X walked back to the coffee table and plopped down. Dragon Tears smirked and brushed his chin-long bangs out of his face.
"You're so cute when you pout." X grinned, leaned over the table, and kissed Dragon Tears tenderly.
"That isn't going to get you out of peeking at my cards, koi." Dragon Tears grunted.
"Damn"*
-------------------------
Seiya had decided to put Yaten down, and just have Yaten walk beside her. Seiya sighed and stuck the tip of her cigarette in her mouth, inhaling gently. Yaten glanced at Seiya, smiling slightly. "I'm sorry for before. I don't know what came over me." Seiya lifted and eyebrow took the cigarette out of her mouth, and muttered.
"It's no problem. It's natural." Seiya blew out a trail of smoke from her mouth. Seiya tapped the cigarette's butt with her thumb, sending ashes fluttering to the ground. "And don't smile so often." Seiya stuck the tip of her cigarette back between her lips. Yaten frowned and looked forward, cherishing the wind as it blew through her hair.
Seiya stopped walking, flicked her cigarette on the ground, and stepped on it to put it out. "We part here." Yaten nodded silently. Despite the bright light from the sun, Yaten thought the glossy, black tresses that spilled over Seiya's shoulder resembled darkness and was a beautiful cascade of midnight. Yaten sighed.
"Hai. I'll see you soon..." Yaten remained stern, though her body, mainly her face, made her look weak. Seiya bent down and brushed her lips over Yaten's.
"I'll see you when the sun sets upon this dark downtown neighborhood tomarrow." Seiya turned away from Yaten, and began walking away. Yaten stared at Seiya's back for a moment, before turning around, and walking away with the feelings of burning fire and tingling electricity upon her lips.

**To the readers (And thank you EPM for actually pointing it out): You may have noticed the personality changes. From Seiya and slightly from Yaten. Drugs shift chemicals in your brain. One minute you might be smiling, and the next you'll be throwing your arms up in exasperation and screaming at the top of your lungs. Heroin, cocaine, LSD, and other drugs that dig their way into your brain at a fast rate usually cause the brain corruption.**

Starred Stuff!
1.) Sweat = Part of heroin withdrawal
2.) Clammy, excessively pale skin, bags under the person's eyes, and dilated pupils are all part of heroin aftermath. Druggies refer to it as the 'heroin chic' look. Another part of this 'heroin chic' look is blank expressions. Except for the blank expressions appear usually if you're a heroin addict...
3.) High purity heroin = longer lasting chick look, and more severe than low purity heroin.
4.) Why did I add a pointless shounen-ai part? I'm in a shounen-ai mood! That's why! I had to make at least SOME people in this story gay! ^___^
