A new life starts in the closet [FINISHED]

[Arai]

Warm, comfort, safe... These were words that the creature, Arai, never thought existed. He was in an enclosed space and it was dark but it wasn't like before.

A while now Arai has been awake. the odd noises were coming from outside. The large smelly things went across the stone floor that had odd markings on it. The birds were chirping, but this time they were less annoying. He could hear other humans moving around in the house.

Saying that he was awake was a bit of a stretch. He happily dozed under the blanket off and on waiting for the human that brought him here to wake up. For once, Arai slept deeply the whole night. There was no shivering and the bed Miyu made was extremely soft (though to others it would be rather stiff). He was comfortable enough to start stretching out of his tight ball even.

As he waited for Miyu to wake he started trying to figure out what to do with the pillow. He wasn't quiet sure yet how it was suppose to be used, it was much softer then the bed he was sleeping on, but too small to sleep on. Then it came to him. The girl had one on her bed! Taking the blanket with him he slowly opened the closet door till he could peek outside.

[Miyu]

Miyu was still fast asleep on her stomach. She was drooling just a tiny bit and one of her arms was hugging her pillow. One foot was outside of the blanket and the sock was also half off.

She grumbled and rolled over her hair was all disheveled. Apparently she rolled around a lot in her sleep.

Suddenly an alarm went off t beeped annoyingly. It took a minuet before she responded and it happened like it normally did. She hit the snooze button and rolled over again, this action was repeated several times.

[Arai]

Actually wanting to stay. That too Arai didn't think was possible. Just living was enough for him. That was all he wanted. But living in this closet already was beginning to compete with that. He only slept here for one night and was happy with it.

Everything was confusing though. The ground was so much different then what he was use to. The green stuff is prickly under his feet. The brown stuff was squishy. The thing he hid under had creatures crawling around and was damp. The texture was like a warm living cave. Even her room had many things he couldn't name. The ground was fuzzy, there was this bed he was laying in that used a blanket and a pillow.

The gray demon continued to look out of the small crack of the closet at the human girl. He thought he wouldn't like anyone like the one that fed him, especially a human. They made a lot of noise and they didn't even taste that good. But this girl he liked. He was nice... even nicer then the one that fed him.

That was when the alarm clock went off. Arai jumped. And he really did. All off his body went off the ground as he skittered backwards back onto the bed hiding under the blanket. Maybe he wasn't suppose to look.

[Miyu]

Eventually Miyu sat up with a yawn and turned the clock off. She stretched and rubbed her eyes. Why did she feel so sleepy? Oh yeah... She used her energy to destroy machinery....Oh right there was a demon in her closet.

She got up and stretched again. "Morning." She looked in he mirror on her dresser and tried to smooth her hair out a little. It was a tangled mess at that moment. "Did you sleep ok?"

The orange haired girl picked up a brush and started brushing her hair. It was a good thing today wasn't a school day. Even better, she couldn't hear Miyo around so her older sister must have stayed over at Naiou's house.

[Arai]

The screech stopped. He had grown use to the quiet so the alarm clock felt like it ripped his eardrums right open. Hiding under the blanket wasn't really out of fear. He knew whatever made the noise couldn't hurt him, just the pain drove him into flight mode.

Then Miyu turned off the clock. The sound still echoed in his ears though. The memory was causing as much pain as the initial sound. It seemed to take forever for him to focus on something else to mute out the pain.

"Loud." Arai said first. He didn't expect a reply though. He listened to what she said and when she moved. The demon didn't answer either of her questions though. Instead he crawled back to his crack and opened it just a little more. The blanket was sitting over his head as he looked out the crack toward her.

[Miyu]

She looked back at him after her hair was tamed, trying not to laugh at his reaction to her clock. "You can come out you know." Her brain was trying to figure out what to do next. "We need to talk anyway and it would be weird to while you are in there."

After all she still needed to ask him what exactly had been going on in that cave. If she found that out Koenma wouldn't be so angry at her. He would still b mad just not as much.

Miyu sat down on her bed again to get comfortable, waiting for Arai to come out."

[Arai]

Did he have to? The closet was actually quiet nice. He thought it would be like his cell back at the cave, but it wasn't. But that didn't mean he was going to stay in there for the rest of his life.

Arai slid the door open more and crawled out. Instead of just him, he lugged the blanket out with him.

"Talk?" He asked. He crawled from the closet over toward her till he was a few feet away.

[Miyu]

"Yeah talk." She nodded as he came out of the closet. "about the cave and the people in there and what they are doing, and why you were there."

Spirit world wanted the information, hopefully she would get it. She hopped that Arai would give her the information she needed. Her parents wouldn't be back for hours and her sister probably would be gone for a long time too. So they didn't need to be careful at the moment.

[Arai]

Why did she...? What was special about the cave? However instead of showing confusion he only nodded. She can know any information she wanted from him no matter what she asked.

"The creators made Arai," he said answering the last question first. He better often start from the beginning and work his way out with her questions.

The demon fell backward till he was sitting. His heels were dug into the ground close to him so his knees were up in the air. The blanket was wrapped around him as well as he could without messing with it too much.

[Miyu]

If she had been drinking something she would have actual spit it out. "What!? They... they made you?"

That sentence went against everything she knew to be possible. Then again so did most of the things that she could do now. Just it was hard to believe something like that.

[Arai]

Arai nodded. How she reacted didn't make much sense but he was going to go along with it. It would be much easier that way and she was asking the questions not him. He was in debt to her.

"Arai was made 2 years ago. 003 is the first that lived." Suddenly he fell into calling himself 003. In a way, talking about his past that way would make sense. The creators called him that anyway. He didn't live with the creators anymore so he was Arai. Back then he was 003.

[Miyu]

"o....k....." That was a weird thing to think about. She didn't know how any one would go about making a demon but she didn't want to know.

"Why did they make you?" Se really didn't see a purpose in making someone. Then again she wasn't one for science. Just it didn't seem like a worth while way to spend time.

[Arai]

That made him shrug. Never did he think about why he was made. Never did he care. All he remembered was the day he could consciously hear what was going on around him. The day that all he knew was pain and all he wanted to do was end his life.

It was miserable but he eventually gained control of his body so he wouldn't claw out his chest whenever his heart beat, whenever he took a breath. As he thought about this he started to curl more into a ball. He couldn't feel the pain when he thought about it anymore, but he could remember it. He could remember that he screamed so much that the creators made it so he couldn't anymore.

[Miyu]

"So was that all they did? They didn't do anything else in that cave but make you and I'm guessing others like you?"

She sighed in confusion. He apparently wasn't getting off the hook with Koenma that easily.

"Wait...... that means..." she paused as she looked t Arai. "You don't have any where to go?"

[Arai]

Instead he shook his head. He wasn't sure what kind of information that the human girl wanted but that wasn't all he could give. At least not yet.

"Arai doesn't know why the creators made me," he repeated. "There were others like Arai." And that was confirming what she had said. "But not any more... Arai killed them." This he said easily as if it was normal to kill others that were like him. And eventually it was. The only hard ones was the first one. Not once had he killed something and that was his first.

Then he sifted through what Miyu said that he originally blew past. "Arai has closet?"
