A new life starts in the closet [FINISHED]

[Miyu]

"Anything else you could tell me about what they're doing in there would be nice."

After all that was why she was sent there in the first place. "There aren't any others trapped there like you were are there?"

[Arai]

He shrugged. The problem was there wasn't much he could answer to her questions. He didn't know much of anything that happened. He was just created there and forced to do what they wanted (not that he really knew that).

"Arai killed all that Arai knew." He said this quiet calmly as if it was normal. "The Creators tried to make a better Arai. None were better than Arai." He then pointed to her.
"Only you hurt Arai badly."

[Miyu]

"And nearly killed myself in the process." This job was going to get her killed, though she should have known that all along. She wasn't a very good spirit detective she thought but Koenma must have seen something in her.

"I guess there's nothing more to do then..... except for try to teach you how to live...."

[Arai]

How to live? Arai looked down at himself. He moved his fingers and watched how he moved. He was seeing if somehow he was dead, which made no sense at all to him. He moved, so he couldn't be dead.

"To live?" He questioned. There had to be another definition for that word. Otherwise, he was thoroughly confused at what was going on.

[Miyu]

"As in how to blend in with humans so that your not stuck in my house forever."

It would take a lot of work. Arai was deviantly pretty much a blank slate. She wasn't even sure were to begin...Maybe hygiene? That might be a good idea.

[Arai]

Live with humans...? Oh right, Miyu was a human. It was hard to think that she hurt him so badly when others could hardly touch him. He nodded none-the-less, humans didn't seem so bad. They weren't like the ones in the cave... "I will learn," he agreed.

He shook himself carefully. "What now?" He didn't think that she knew any more then him, but he had to do something.

[Miyu]

"Uh... follow me I guess."

She lead him in to the bathroom and started to gather supplies for him. "uhhh... do you know how to bathe?" She felt really stupid asking that question but it seemed like a logical one to ask considering he didn't know what a fork was.

[Arai]

He easily did as told. He owed her a lot, even if she couldn't him enough food. At the moment, his thinking with his stomach was getting annoying. He was truly glad to be out of that cave.

"Bathe?" There was nothing more he could do but repeat what she said. He became distracted as he started look around the bathroom. The sink made sense... the others did not.

[Miyu]

Great she really did have to teach him to how to. She sighed and started the water in the tub. When it was full she stopped it. Since he seemed to like warmth she had made the water hot.

"In a minuet I'm going to leave. You take off your cloths and then get in the tub. The soap is here and you take this cloth." She showed him both items. "You lather up the soap suds on the cloth and scrub your self clean...."

She wondered how this was going to work out.... "When your done call me and I'll help you with your hair it's a complete mess...." Then she walked out of the bathroom.

[Arai]

Bathe... He took in what she said and tried to commit it to memory. This was such an odd process. And he had no idea why he needed to do it. The Creators seemed to have a reason for everything, so after a while he decided to stop continually asking because he eventually could figure it out on his own. But this, it didn't seem to have one.

"Bathe?" There was nothing more he could do but repeat what she said. He became distracted as he started look around the bathroom. The sink made sense... the others did not.

He turned to ask her. But she was already leaving. So all he had was doing what he was told.

Arai stripped down and went to put his foot into the water. Flashes of how the other creations were made flew into his head. It almost made him want to stop. But he couldn't. This was for the girl, he couldn't stop. And he wasn't in the cave anymore.

The water was warm. Temporarily his fears faded and he sank into the water. It felt just as good as being under blankets.... But the blankets he liked more. After a moment of just sitting in the warm water he started to attempt to clean himself. What the point of being clean was he didn't know. He wasn't going to do anything important was he?

A few times he had to figure out that the soup went away under water. After those few times (and a few reloads) he finally remembered for at least the rest of the day. He cleaned the wounds he had and removed the blood that was stained to his skin. It was a quiet easy concept to master.

"Done!" he called after his gray skin turned nearly pink and there was no variations in color due to dirt.

[Miyu]

Miyu came in. Her face was a little bit red. After all he may act like a little kid but Arai had a fully grown body. If it wasn't for that fact that he was completely clueless this would be the most awkward thing ever. But she was only washing his hair nothing more. As long as she was careful she wouldn't see anything she wasn't suppose to see.

"Hey you did a pretty good job." She complimented him. She reached for the shampoo. "Now here's the difficult part." Miyu switched the shower on and took it down so she could use it on him. "Now I'm going to spray this on your head to get it wet k?"

It was probably a good idea to warn him before doing so. And she did then she started to work the shampoo in to his hair.

[Arai]

He watched her. She had an odd look about her. She didn't look much different, but her face, it was pink. He understood why he was pink, he scrubbed of layers of skin. But she didn't do that.

"Why?" he asked. The blood on his skin he didn't mind so much. Nor getting the dirt and grime over his wounds. The one that fed him occasionally did the same. But why his hair?

[Miyu]

"Because its a matted greasy mess thats why." She was scrubbing hair trying not to be to hard. She wanted to massively scrub his head with force to get all the grease out but she couldn't do that. "This could take a while."

[Arai]

Greasy mess? All these words he didn't understand. It was easy to say this was a bad thing. And whatever Greasy Mess was was his hair. He never felt it as anything different. It must really bad to human standards.

Occasionally he winced, but for the most part it wasn't anything painful. It actually felt kind of good. His head had grown quiet insensitive to much harsher treatment. It didn't take long when your life was in danger and you're being held by your hair. The bath was also really warm. It was a very good feeling mixture.

He started relaxing till his head started dropping some. Being warm felt good.

[Miyu]

Miyu continued to wash his hair it was almost impossible but eventually she at least got it somewhat clean. "Alright that should do it." There was no answerer so she looked at him. Was he asleep?

"Hey." she poked him.
