Author's Notes: This goes from Yaten, to Michiko, to Yaten. This chapter is relatively odd. My romance muse is dead I think. *Begins smacking her head against the desk*

'I scream without a sound, how could you take away,
Everything that I was - made me a fuckin' slave.
Your face that I despise, your heart inside that's gray,
I came today to say - you're fucked in every way'

Chapter 9: Mon �me, ma fille, le d�sir injustifi�
[That roughly translates into 'My heart, my daughter, my unjustified desire']

Yaten stared flatly at Seiya's limp, sleeping figure. "So pretty�" Yaten brushed her fingertips over Seiya's cheek and pushed away loose strands of hair. "And all mine�" Yaten sighed, turned to the window, and stared at the several drug dealers, ravers, gangsters, and prostitutes that were scattered on the street and sidewalks. Yaten began taking off the several pieces of jewelry she had on, put them on Seiya's dresser, and laid next to the raven-haired girl.
---------------------
Michiko sighed and sipped her coffee. "Kou-chan� Where are you�?" Hiroko looked up at her mother and blinked her green eyes. Michiko put her cup down, and hugged Hiroko tightly, tears slowly dripping down her cheeks and onto Hiroko's maroon colored tresses.
---------------------
"Lady Caine, wake up." Yaten shook Seiya hard. Seiya groaned and rolled over.
"Is it ten in the morning already?"
"It's past ten�" Seiya shot up, eyes wide.
"And you didn't wake me up?! Good god, Lime Acid!" Seiya grabbed her trench coat, put it on quickly, and ran out of her room - grabbing two small bottles. "I'll be back later, Lime Acid! Don't go anywhere!" Yaten grumbled and grabbed her pack of cigarettes and her lighter.
"Yeah. Whatever."
---------------------
Michiko sat on Yaten's bed, and sighed. She looked around, almost as if the room was foreign to her without Yaten asleep in her bed on these type of Saturday mornings. She looked out of Yaten's window, savoring the feeling of the breeze caressing her face, the sun placing gentle kisses on her cheeks. Michiko turned from the window and walked to Yaten's nightstand. Michiko pulled out the bottom drawer and dug through it. Not finding the picture of the family she had been looking for, she closed the drawer, and opened the top drawer�
---------------------
Seiya walked over the limp, cold body that had been laying there for weeks. "You'd think they'd pick this carcass up. Jeez." Seiya scowled and looked around.
"You're late�" She glanced at the far corner. "You're never late."
"Sorry, I slept in." Seiya eyed the gothic dressed boy.
"Don't let it happen again, Lady Caine, you've stalled a lot lately� You'll end up dead at that rate." Seiya closed her eyes and nodded.
"Understood. But you should be happy." Seiya opened her eyes slowly. "I went through hell to get you this shit." She pulled out the two small bottles from her pocket. The boy's eyes seemed to light up. "It's costing you one hundred dollars, you pushy asshole."
"One hundred dollars of GHB* and DOM*? Please, Lady Caine, lower your prices or something."
"That crap is hard to get. I'm not making rare substances cheap, pal."
---------------------
"What the�?" Michiko stared in shock at the several syringes, small bags of tan powder labeled 'H' and 'C', cartridges, razor blades, and pill bottles labeled 'OxyContin'* and 'MDMA'. "Oh my god�"
---------------------
Yaten inhaled gently from the cigarette between her lips, keeping the smoke inside of her lungs, while pulling it away. She let out a line of thick smoke, and closed her eyes.
---------------------
Seiya shoved the hundred dollars in her pocket, and looked around. "I feel watched�" Seiya closed her eyes from a moment. "I'm just paranoid though�"
---------------------
"Kou-chan�" Michiko clamped her eyes shut, slammed the drawer closed, and bent down - tears streaming down her face.

Author's Encyclopedia/Dictionary/Drug Slang Referral/Explanation Guide/Notes:
1.) Ah. GHB. The 'date rape drug'. Gamma-hydroxybutyrate. It's usually colorless, odorless, and tasteless. It's a CSA Schedule I drug (As of 3/13/2000). The onset of action is rapid and in an overdose, unconsciousness can occur after 15 minutes and coma within 30 to 40 minutes. GHB produces dose-dependent drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, amnesia, visual hallucinations, reduced blood pressure, decreased heart rate, hypnotic effects resembling petit mal epilepsy, convulsions, severe respiratory depression, coma and death. GHB is a depressant and a hallucinogen in one. It's referred to as the 'date rape drug' due to the passing out stage. It makes it easy for a man (or even a woman) who commits rape crimes to fuck the innocent over that way.
2.) DOM, like MDMA, is produced for the 'feel good' effects. It's a chemical variation of mescaline and amphetamines, like MDMA. Except it's more of a hallucinogen than a depressant. The affects of one to three milligrams of DOM lasts for 12-14 hours, making it top in hallucinogens next to LSD. Though unlike LSD, it's less potent. PCP and MDMA don't even compare to DOM. Although, DOM is rarely seen. And when it is, it costs wads of cash. In this fic, I made it one hundred dollars for both GHB and DOM. That makes them fifty dollars each. Normally, a small, small, small bottle of DOM costs a good one hundred through one hundred fifty dollars alone.
3.) OxyContin. Not to be confused with OxyCodone which is synthesized from 'thebaine'. But OxyCodone isn't in our focus. OxyContin is. OxyContin is a heroin abusers second best friend. Heroin being their first of course. Anyway, OxyContin is a prescription drug from hell. It is an opioid. It comes in 10, 20, 40, 80 and 160-mg time release tablets. Being addictive, OxyContin is being diverted for use as a substitute for heroin. One half of a 40-mg tablet killed an eighteen-year-old. It's a drug that is as close to heroin as you can get. And this is being compared to both morphine and methadone. When heroin junkies run out of heroin, it wouldn't be surprising if the local pharmacy was robbed of the OxyContin and methadone supply. The average heroin addict who uses OxyContin usually uses a 10-mg pill. Anything over than that will kill them out of respiratory depression and cardiovascular depression. The only real difference between OxyContin is the fact that the abuser knows the EXACT amount of the drug he/she is getting, while with heroin, they don't. OxyContin has only made itself known on the East Coast so far, but it is making itself over to the west.
4.) Thought I didn't star this stuff� But they all have uses/uses in themselves.
Syringes = cocaine and heroin use
Small bags of tan powder labeled 'H' and 'C' = The obvious. They're bags with heroin and cocaine in them.
Cartridges = Whippets
Razor blades = Necessary to make perfectly straight lines for snorting cocaine.
