It's Only Them

Characters: Sou and YOU
Setting: Room 2-04 then everywhere there after
Format: I'll match.
Summary: Sou is looking around and he's not happy.
Warnings: A terribly ill tempered "prince"...violence, pretty much anything can happen.

Dorms
Sou's awakening was nothing more than graceful. He rolled out of bed with a terrible headache. He didn't take a look at his surroundings as he leaned over to rub the pain from his temples.

He stood and immediately he knew something was definitely wrong. He was alive. He felt the heavy hit to the back of his head before everything had gone black. The sniper's hit was on target. Why is he here?

He didn't bother to look in his trunk. He didn't bother to give a damn about who was in here or not. He needed answers and he certainly wasn't going to be someone's prisoner. He didn't notice his indigo collar either.

Tower Floors
Still not satisfied with what he learned, he took it upon himself to explore. He didn't care about the warnings, if he ever got any. He didn't care about the opinions others had of him. That came with territory. He didn't bother with the system to ask stupid questions. He already knew that he wasn't in Japan and even worse he was on the hunt.

Nineteen and hot headed, he had no interest in anyone's personal lives and it showed on his face. There was no time for idle chit-chat when he had his own agenda. Any monsters in his way were faced with a very angry fire Alter user.

"Who's in charge?" He shouted out.

"You're human too, even if you claim otherwise."

Ryuho was starting to get the idea that this was a psychological issue that Sou had had for a very long time, but without the history he didn't know what to do except restrain him to prevent him from hurting anyone.

"Let me go!" Sou was becoming desperate in his struggle that his eyes were beginning to tear up from his internal struggle as well. He couldn't stop the fear. His voice displayed that desperation and there was nothing he could do but struggle under the better fighter's grip.

He soon wore himself out, gasping for air and desperate to live. He eventually broke down into sobs. "They killed me...and I see it. Over and over again...I see it."

Ryuho had heard that people came after their deaths, but it was still shocking to hear. "I'm sorry. I can't change what happened, but you are alive here."

Not that that was much of a comfort considering what had happened, but he didn't even remember why Sou had been killed, much less the circumstances surrounding it.

Not many people knew what happened to Sou. Some thought he simply disappeared, which wasn't that much further from the truth. The news of Sou's death only traveled as far as those that cared enough to listen. Here, it was just him.

He stopped his struggling and turned his head away from Ryuho's face. "So what? If this is supposed to be my second change, it's not much of one. We're Alter users. We're nothing more than powder kegs in a room full of lit matches."

"No, you're wrong." He knew that in his heart. Even if he had no memory of being an alter user, a power didn't have to make someone bad.

"Elian is an alter user, and he's surviving here. He has friends here, and alters aren't the only powers people have here."

If powers weren't strange, then alter users weren't especially dangerous.

His head turned to regard Ryuho. With the mention of Elian, this only confuses Sou even more. "Elian is a computer system. Why do you keep referring to it like it's a person?" Sou raised his brow. It was already weird that Ryuho was talking to him and politely at that.

"As much as I like your company, you're still sitting on me." Sou's eyes looked up at his pinned wrists. "Some might say that this is a little kinky. Look, as much as I would really like to get close to you, don't you think this is a bit much? Seriously."

"Elian is a boy, and an alter user." He answered, confused by the reference to a computer system.

Ryuho looked down at his hands and quickly let go, easily flustered at the moment. "Are you calmer now?"

"Yeah." He rubbed his wrists as he sat up. "That's quite a grip. You said he's a boy...I don't understand."

The white jumpsuit hasn't taken a stain yet from all that struggling which was pretty strange even for Sou's interests. "I'm not interested in seeing him, but I am interested in how his Alter works. Where I'm from, Elian IS a computer. It's what controls the HOLY Eye. You, my friend, were a faction leader."

"I don't understand what you mean. His alter has something to do with air pressure." At least, that was all he had seen since coming here, and with his memories gone, it was all he could refer to.

"A faction leader for HOLY, or against?" Based on what Elian had told him, that would be a way of determining when Sou was from.

"Against." He raised his brow again at the part about the air pressure coming from Elian. He doesn't know anything about that and decided to shake it off. "Whatever, anyway, the main goal now has nothing to do with the past. You said in the letters that we all got, which I'll probably read when I go back to that roach box of a room, that our worlds were destroyed. That's impossible. I would have felt the tremors before any of that started, or I would have done it myself."

"You said that you were dead. So it may have happened after that. I'm not sure if time makes a difference." It was logical, he just hoped that the reference to his death didn't give Sou another panic attack.

He rolled his eyes with a sigh. "Yes, yes, I know that. What I'm saying is that if the world was going to die, I would have known way before my own death. The earth is a complicated ball of fire. I read fire. There's a lot that goes on in that mass of a core we have and I would have sensed it if anything was different."

He placed his index fingers on his temples and began to rub them in small circles. "We Alter users are tied to something about the world. You said that Elian can use air pressure. I can use fire and bring up lava to the surface. You controlled the power of Zetsuei, and surpassed all others. I don't know why or how, you just do."

"It could have been a lot of things, not just something inside the earth." He wasn't sure if he believed that their world is gone, but there were a number of things that might have destroyed the world.

"Elian thinks that alters are from another dimension, and that I went there before I lost my memory."

"You mean the Other Side. I've heard that theory too and Mujo killed hundreds to prove that point." His fist tightened his jaw clinched. "That guy...yeah, I killed him and destroyed that lab of his. Ever since...."

He trailed off and closed his eyes. He really didn't want to think about those deaths and how he witnessed countless children born and sacrificed just for the sake of science.

"Mujo? Elian mentioned that name to me. He said I was fighting him with Kazuma."

Even now, there's a tinge of acidity when he says the name Kazuma. He can't even remember the man's face, but he's angry when he thinks of his name.

"I guess the constant is Mujo in this equation. Kazuma is of little concern to me. He's reckless and a hazard to be around. I don't see why you obsess over him." Sou sighed as if he was a bit jealous. He wasn't even remembered and he did more damage but Kazuma got more of a reaction than his own name.

"Tch, like I care anyway."

"Do I obsess over him?" That was a fact to tuck away for later, since he didn't know one way or another.

"About what?" He wasn't sure if that was directed towards him or someone else in Sou's head.

"From what I've seen, maybe. Then again, you never thought of me so fondly either." He shrugged lazily.

"I don't really care about it anymore. It used to piss me off so much that you cared more about that guy than you did your own."

Ryuho furrowed his brow. He was fairly certain he didn't like whomever 'Kazuma' was, but Elian had said they were working together, and Sou made it sound like it was romantic, but he was not going to ask, because that would be simply too bizarre.

The naked confusion on his face was evident however.

"I see."

Sou's own brow raised at the expression on Ryuho's face before he snickered and broke out into laughter. "You thought...Oh my goodness!"

He started laughing so hard that he fell backward onto the ground. "Oh, that's precious!"

Not only was Ryuho lacking an alter currently, he was lacking a large portion of his coveted ability to deadpan properly, so his expression was rather like the one a dog might give after someone has given a fake through.

"You are a strange person."

"Hey, that wasn't my fault. You did that all on your own. You assumed I meant that the two of you...that's rich!" His smile and mirth was wiped away instantly. "No really, you two couldn't stand each other. The fact that even your flickering memories can recall his name still pisses me off."

"I didn't say anything." And he was actually relieved that it wasn't the case, so he wasn't going to make it a point of being laughed at.

"Your jealous at how much I apparently hated him?" That was strange.

It was true, he did hate him. He didn't remember why, or even him, but the hate was there every time the name came up.

"You didn't have to. I can see it. I wasn't jealous of your hatred toward him. I'm jealous that you remembered him first and said his name. To remember that hatred and attach a name to it, yes, as much as I want that, I'll never get it so what's the point? It's the impact I want." Sou doesn't seem to be as upset as he used to be. The thoughts of his death was triggered again that made him laugh darkly again.

"It's funny. They hated me, I had the attention of the media en mass and no one still remembers my name. Even in death...I'm forgotten." It almost was enough to make his eyes water again, yet he managed to choke that bitter pill down. "It's not worth it anymore."

"So, you want to be remember, even if it is hatefully?" He mulled that over, and maybe that made a bit of sense.

"Elian might remember you. I don't remember much of anything. It doesn't matter if the world is gone though."
