                    Kapitel 1: Part One: After the Funeral
                    --------------------------------------


„In nomine patri et filii et spiritus sancti. Amen...“
That’s the end. The coffin disappears under the clods of soil. People part
slowly. No one is willing to suffer under the cruel midday sun any more. Only
gravediggers remain to finish their work.
“He was a good man. He always cared about his family...”
“His daughter is like him. Such a nice girl! The death of her father has
affected her deeply.”
//Sae, my older sister... She loved father... But it was her father, not
mine!//
“... but his son.... A total rascal! He’s always coming home drugged...”
This kind of talk usually drove Kato mad. But today he didn’t have enough
strength to yell something out at those bigmouthed hags, however, he wished for
it very much. He would have said to them what “a good man” his father was,
how he ignored him and didn’t care about him, how he beat him when he did
something bad until there were bruises all over his body, how he cared only for
Sae. Sae, who was both loved and hated by her younger brother so much.
During the funeral he couldn’t even look at her. He knew she suffered because
of these awful talks. But the crones were right. Everyone, who looked at him at
the moment, knew what was going on immediately. He barely stood on his feet,
shivered with cold and cold sweat trickled down his forehead. Why today? Why
exactly today has he to be without his “feed”?
//Bastard Bobby! He’ll pay for this! He said he was coming back the other week
and he never appeared! Furthermore, he neither let a gram for me! At least he
could contact me with trustworthy people, who provide quality goods...//
He looked at his mother, who was leaving with other people. She didn’t even
give him a look. He better went another way. 
“Yu-kun!” a familiar voice spoke behind his back. It was Sae.
“Where are you going? Come home with me. You look terrible.”
“Leave me alone, Sae!”
“Yu-kun!”
//Just away from her!// He left her standing there, abandoned and sad. 
//Forgive me, Sae. But I have nothing more to say to you//.
He roamed around the side streets and fought with his own faintness. Shivering
fit was overcoming him and he felt unnaturally sick. //Bobby will pay for...//

	“Finally awake? You had a hard night.”
It was a familiar voice, but Kato couldn’t remember at all where he knows it
from. His eyes wide open, but the only thing he could see were colourful blots.

“You should stop with that muck, if you don’t want to follow your
father.”
//You should stop with that muck...// He’d heard that sentence somewhere
before. But who from? His head was empty and in addition to it he had such a
headache as if his head was about to explode.
“Hey, Kato? Are you listening to me?”
He looked the way the voice was coming from, but he could see only blurred
contour of a figure. He rubbed his eyes and looked at the figure again. Finally
it started to take a clearer shape.
“Ki... Kira?”
“Bingo! How do you feel?”
“Horrible.”
“It serves you right. You should have think of it earlier.”
“Shut up!”
Silence.
“Where am I?”
“At my place in my bed.”
“I didn’t want to know it so exactly,” groused Kato and tried to get from
under a blanket.
“And what would you like to know instead? How you lied in that filthy street
unconscious? You was lucky that I found you after all.”
These words touched Kato. He couldn’t remember anything.
“I don’t want to hear any more!”
“As you wish,” said Kira and left the room.
