Prologue!

"Watch it A! That one almost got you!" I yelled to my partner. He grinned widely at me, gray eyes sparkling like stars.

"Ain't nothing gonna hit me, L!" L. Gosh, I hate when he calls me that.

"Don't call me L, or I'll make you eat those words!" I heard him chuckle as I dodged yet another weapon, a steel pipe that was now embedded in the wall next to my shoulder.

"And you tell me to watch out?" I heard Allen speak in my ear as he pulled on my arm. "C'mon. The Earl will be here soon, and neither of us wants to be around for that." We ran out of the alleyway and down the street, heading to our base, which was a couple of blocks over. As we ran we were joined by a black cat, which looked at me with mischievous eyes. I grinned at it;

"Hey, Soren. Did you catch something to eat?" The cat smiled back at me, running ahead. We neared the mouth of our alleyway, and I could hear Kanda yelling about something.

"Next time don't come with me, dumbass! Maybe then we wouldn't have this problem!" He yelled. I heard the sound of metal hitting something, and sighed.

"Hey, calm down Yuu! I didn't mean to drop the damn thing! It was an accident! And I retrieved it didn't I? So no harm done! Ah! Lalota, Allen, welcome!" Lavi was pinned against the wall by a sword, which was caught in the cloth on his shoulder. The blade belonged to the grumpy samurai who stood in front of him, scowling and looking royally pissed. Not that that was new. He calmed down a little as Allen walked toward them, rolling his eyes.

"Thanks Lavi. Yuu, stop attempting to crucify Lavi. He's not Jesus, as much as he likes to think he is." He said as he walked over to Komui. Kanda, still scowling, pulled his sword out of the wall, and walked over to Allen, taking his hand.

"Hey Lavi, you alright?" I asked, kneeling down in front of the redhead. He nodded tiredly. 'He must have been up all night hacking' I thought, frowning. "Why don't you go lie down? You look beat."

"No, I'm fine. 'Sides, I need to do something for your next mission. It's not gonna be an easy one." I opened my mouth to reply, but I didn't get the chance, because at that moment several things happened at once:

Allen screamed, falling to the ground with Kanda, who looked to be bleeding; Several bangs were heard, and a flash of sharp pain jolted through me. I looked down to see blood quickly soaking the front of my white shirt. I looked up, and saw a flash of gold. "T-tyki?" I gasped at the pain of talking, and fell to my knees, clutching my side.

"Ssh, don't talk. You'll only make it worse, my lovely little pet. Now, be a good girl and lay down, so you'll die with as little pain as possible." I heard him speak. "Oh, and you might want to say goodbye to your precious Rhode. She won't be seeing you again." He pushed the smaller girl towards me. She looked at me with wide eyes, then ran forward to hug me.

"I-I'm sorry! I didn't know he was going to do this! Please don't go, please!" I heard her sobbing as I weakly wrapped my arms around her. I heard another shot ring out and felt her body jolt.

"Rhode? Rhode!" I cried out, praying that she hadn't been hit. But I could feel blood trickling down from her back as my world started spinning.

"La…lota… I love… you" I heard her say before my world finally went black.

Little did anyone know what this would lead to…
