Prologue
The room was thick with smoke and even on its most peaceful of days the air ran heavy with the frantic noises of the street. A single window was open, letting the dry heat shuffle bits of paper and debris on the ground, each blow of the wind punctuated by an innocent giggle.
A little boy sat amongst the trash, oblivious to the sweltering heat, as he played with used blunts and watched with delighted glee dust and dirt swirling in the sunlight. His own face and hair, neglected and unkempt, followed the whispery movements while his fingers threaded through the unwanted papers and wrappers. Purple splotches graced his small wrists and arms, his own excrement dotting the hems of his clothes.
Laughing softly to himself, the child waited for the sounds in the adjacent room to hush down. He was hungry, but he knew from past experience patience and silence were rewarded.
He hoped she would remember he was waiting.
“Ahhh…” soft content noises filtered into the larger room before the ruffle and slide of sheets briefly overrode further sounds.
“Go answer the fucking door already Saki.”
“It’s just Hiroto slamming things around again Hiroda, ignore it. Maybe he’ll fall off the balcony this time.”
“The fuck Saki, send that little brat to school already. He’s not that much younger than Kaza-chan and I know him and Taka-kun are about to leave elementary. It’s a pain having to see his wet-nosed face every time I come over here.”
“Get the fuck off my back Hiroda. I clothe him, feed him, and house him and it’s already hard enough doing that. What more do you fucking want from me? Maybe if dipshits like you paid me more I wouldn’t have to deal with this shit.”
Their bickering was quickly silenced by the loud shattering of wood.
“What the fuck are you doing to my stuff Hiroto?!” Saki nearly screamed as she launched out of bed.
Stunned and clad only in a pair of panties, Saki crossed her arms and backed up in fear. The apartment door was shattered in, a tall well-dressed man walking her way. Hiroto stared wide-eyed from his place on the floor as his mother was slammed into the wall.
“Where’s my money?” he whispered dangerously, fingers sliding up Saki’s side.
“Ne-next week!”Saki gasped as the hand immediately flew up into her hair to press her head painfully into the wall.
“Fucking dirty whore,” was his reply before he was throwing her onto the floor. “I should just kill your sorry ass, but a dead slut doesn’t pay the bills.” Glancing around he spotted the small boy near the window. Looking back at Saki whose gazed was also trained on him, the intruder growled, “You better hope he can keep them happy for a week because that’s all you’ve got.”
“Ask them if they’ll take him as payment instead.”
Hiroto struggled in the stranger’s hold as he was whipped around to face his mother.
“You’d like that huh? Getting rid of your debt and stupid mistakes at the same time? You know we can always use an extra body and this is your easy way out isn’t it?” she gave a curt nod.
Anger seemed to billow up in the room and the strangers grip on Hiroto’s arm tightened. “Then you’re lucky Kimi just disappeared.”
“You have two weeks. Consider what you owe halved until further notice,” he barked out over the child’s wails of pain. He stormed out of the apartment grumbling, “Fuck. Stupid bitches everywhere. Don’t know how to use a fucking condom.” And Hiroto was given one last glimpse of his mother closing the door before the suffocating hallway overtook his senses - a taste of an oppressive future to come.
“You know that wasn’t right Saki.”
“Shut the hell up Hiroda. I didn’t see your ass coming to help me.”
“Where are you going?”
Sighing, Saki turned around to face her regular client, “I’m getting the fuck out of here before they come back again.”
“They’ll eat him alive.”
“You do what you have to do to survive,” she whispered, voice surprisingly gentle this time.
A/N:
And here is something random I've started.
I don't really want to post it anywhere because I don't know for sure where it's going, but it's a thought for me to mess around with :)
Tell me what you think?
