31. Raining Emotions

_____________________________________

Tomoe ground his teeth as he tossed and turned in his bed; he couldn't sleep. It wasn't happening after he did something so stupid to his best friend. She didn't even know what touching his ears was like; he practically asked her to 'Kiss him'

He chewed his lip and stared at the cold ceiling. The dark colors of the room used to sooth him and relax his nerves, The dark blue walls and soft toned cream roof. The carpet with it creamy yet white softness. Nanami often joked that his hair could be mistaken for it. He rooled his violet eyes in the dark.

The carpet wasn't exactly perfect; There was some blood drops on it from the night he cut himself. Tomoe had learned that everytime he had to urge to slit his wrist he would snap his rubber band.

That or rub an ice-cube on his wrists. It stung like crazy and in a way it hurt more than a cut. Tomoe stared at the roof some more and paused.

His hand drifted to his ear and he tugged lightly; It felt nice to have his ears touched..

Wait.

Wha?

Tomoe shook his head and decided there was better things to think about; like how he still had to stop his hands from shaking when he wanted to feel physical pain. This was one of those moments...

The fox clenched his teeth over his blanket and pulled; biting done as hard as he could. He snapped his rubber band over and over again.

This was an addiction that he had taken on to way to fast. It shook his core and it made his sweat for the tingling sensation of his claws digging into his pale skin. It wasn't bad like he had to do it or he would die; but he wanted to do it... His body wanted to feel it again. It wasn't Rehad bad, but it was going to take him some time. He bit down harder and decided that staying near a bathroom wasn't a good thing at the moment,

The fox tossed his covers off and walked out of his room. He walked slowly down the stairs and then paused when he saw the kitchen light on. Who would be up at three in the morning? ( Other than him.. -_- )

Tomoe walked towards the kitchen and froze when he saw his father sitting in a chair reading a book called, ' Your Teen and Self Harm; Best Friends Under Contract'

The fox narrowed his eyes and scoffed at it; he wasn't exactly doing it anymore; He wondered if he should be honored that his father was trying to help or offended. His foot tapped against the tile floor and he cusred mentally.

Mikage looked up and fixed his glasses; Their eyes met and the father soon looked at Tomoe Wrist. It was red from his rubber band snapping and it still stung harshly; The father looked away and the fox wondered if it was from disgust.

"Your fighting it?" He questioned almost a little to quiet.

The fox sighed loudly as his feet hit the cold, cream colored tile, " Yes."

The father shood his head and Tomoe felt something rise up in his chest; maybe it was pain.. The pain of his father being digusted..

"What?" He spat out, " If you were here then it wouldn't have happened! You promised that you would be there; but.. I FEEL LIKE I RAISED MYSELF!"

"YOU AT LIKE YOU DID! I DID NOT TEACH YOU TO DO THAT!" Mikage stood up and slammed his hands on the counter. They stared at each other; but before Tomoe could start cussing or swearing Mikage out..

A Slap sounded in the air.

The fox blinked as pain stung his face; he blinked in shock and when he looked a his father the god himself looked shocked. He lowered his hand and Tomoe felt a new type of pain well up. Did his.. Father just... Hit him?
