A new life starts in the closet [FINISHED]

[Arai]

The rest of the day was uneventful. The two of them talked about how they would find someone that they could train with. Which, Arai couldn't help much on. He only did what came natural. That seemed to be another reason for them both to train it seemed.

As the night grew on Arai remained curled up and ate even less of the food he was given. It was still more then a normal person should eat though.

The next morning Miyu was dragged off to school and Arai didn't speak a word that whole morning. It was just left that he was sleeping in. After all, he wasn't feeling very good the night before.

Not feeling good would have been a nice compared to what the demon was actually feeling. It more felt like his lungs were on fire. The burning was so unbarable that his instincts were starting to take hold and those instincts were to take care of the pain. His claws sank into his chest trying to dig out his own organs.

All day he tried to resist cutting into his flesh. But as the day progressed the pain grew steadily worse and the wounds he caused grew deeper.

[Miyu]

Miyu sighed happily when she walked in the door. She was so happy to be away from school. It was such an aggravating place.


Miyo wasn't home either and that was good. She smiled as she grabbed some food out of the kitchen. However when she started walking up the stairs something instantly felt wrong.

The fourteen year old girl sped up the stair and flung her door open then the closet door, where she was met with the sight of Arai's claws digging in to his own chest.

"what are you doing!" She cried reaching to try and stop him.

[Arai]

Pain... Arai hated pain, because of how he was treated at the Cave he usually got use to it quickly. Within a matter of minutes some of the worst pain he was use to. But this was a different level of pain. The organs inside of him was forced to work and perhaps wasn't even his organs in the first place and his body was fighting against them.

"It hurts!" He cried his voice filled with pain. As his claws tried again to rip into his ribcage. Miyu trying to stop him didn't help much but get his blood on her. "Help...Arai..."

He was trying harder now to fight but it was hardly noticeable with how far he was now. He didn't want to hurt himself in front of Miyu... he didn't want to hurt himself at all, but especially in front of his friend.

[Miyu]

Miyu's brain was in a panic. What was she supposed to do? How did she stop him, how did she fix the pain?

Wait.....Miyu went to her bed and pulled a briefcase out from under it. She opened it and for the first time got a good look. Inside the case that the demon had given her when she took Arai, sat a syringe and several containers of some odd looking liquid.

"Maybe..... this is why she gave this to me." She got it ready and turned to Arai.

[Arai]

A loud hiss came from Arai's throat. He thrusted himself back into the wall of the closet his. One hand was still digging into his burning chest. However the demon fell to the ground from the exhaustion of the pain within him. Only once had he gotten this bad, but that was before the creators knew what was happening. His organs weren't perfect like most others, especially demons. The overworking his organs did caused much pain. They have since he was created. Every movement made hurt and his mind hated that fact.

He regressed to just hissing at her like a desperate scared wounded animal. Despite the pain he seemed to be more scared of what she held in her hand. The long metal that had been jab into him time and time again into tense strong muscle. The needle itself was ice cold to his body, but then it shot fiery liquid into his body.

[Miyu]

"I have to do this!" She called to him. Slowly she approached Arai and took a firm hold on his arm. She didn't know what he was going to do but she hopped that it was nothing to severe. he was after all, stronger than her.

"Please just stop struggling or it will hurt." She begged as she tried to hold her new

[Arai]

He tried to back more away. He couldn't move any farther back because of the wall. The hissing was sounding more and more scared instead of vicious like before. He hated needles. They hurt. They burned. They caused even more pain afterward. They never caused anything good. Except for this one in a sense. But this hurt just as much. A freezing sharp pinch into any part of the body the creators could reach.

"No..." he whimpered before screaming in pain. His fingers were now trying to carve into his bone. His body twisted in pain to the point where he didn't even claw at himself.

[Miyu]

She had to act fast. So Miyu worked to secure his arm and once she had it she pushed the needle in to his skin. She tried to be gentle but it wasn't exactly something she was good at. Miyu had always been a harsh person.

"Please be ok." Her eyes were watering as she fought back tears. she was already so attached to him. She never knew that she could actually care about someone. Maybe there was hope for her after all..... but what does that matter if her only friends dies....

[Arai]

The screams of pain died down. His labored breathing was slowing down along with it. Arai began laying down to the ground taking slower deeper breaths instead of the fast short breaths he was once taking. One of his clawed hands started to dig at the insertion point but not nearly as violent as he was doing to his chest.

There was so many gashes along his chest it was amazing that it was being held together at all. Some places the bone could now be seen... That is if the blood was cleared away. They both were in a mess of blood. His blood.

[Miyu]

"Arai..........." She was looking at him in horror now that she could see him clearly.

There was no time to waste. Miyu took her shirt off and started to tear it to shreds to make bandages. It wasn't like he was going to be paying attention to her now mostly exposed chest anyway with the condition he was in.

She went to work trying to bandage him up.

[Arai]

His breath continued to slow. His eye's were closed looking now only slightly pained. Whether he was conscious or not was quiet unknown. If his skin was warm before, now it was literally on fire, but that was even slowly cooling down.

However, instead of his breathing returning to a normal rate, it continued to slow. Within about thirty minutes he looked like he wasn't in any pain at all. Even his heart rate was slowing down past the normal.

[Miyu]

When Miyu realized what was going on she started to panic.

"hey Arai!" She shook him a little. He still had vital signs but they were slowing.. What if that stuff was actually a bad thing...... Her panic jumped up even more.

But what could she do but sit there and wait....

[Arai]

Loud... Both his arms tried to move but they didn't get more then an inch before falling back down. Normally he hated this feeling. But the pain being gone was great. Even the pain from his chest was gone.

His ears was the first of his senses to work and the only that didn't try to shut down. His mind paniced slightly from the rest not working and enhansed his hearing a great deal to compensate. "Miyu... loud..." he said quietly.

[Miyu]

She shut her mouth and bit her lip. No there was nothing she could do now but wait and see what happened.

She really hopped it was all going to be ok....

[Arai]

Slower and slower... Both his breathing and heart rate were now next to nothing. His head once looking up was now falling to the side as it now appeared that he was unconscious. Hopefully not more.

About an hour or two later he began vibrating. It was hardly noticable till it started turning into an all out shiver. Well, not it was obvious that he wasn't dying too much.
