Prologue:
Rain pattered on the windows of a small apartment in America. The apartment was dark, the lightbulbs cold and occupants asleep. Quietly, ever so quietly something slinked in the shadows and slipped into the living room where a blanket was draped over a sleeping body on the couch. A figure crept up upon the sleeping figure and slipped out a knife from their sleeve, the shadows hiding their face. They raised their arm up slightly and readied to bring it down.
Something whizzed in the air and hit the wall a millimeter away from where the shadow hidden figure's head was. It struck the wall deeply lodged into it making a thud. The shadowed figure didn't hesitate and turned and jumped out the window only a three feet away. They landed in the alleyway next to the apartment complex and ran.
Another figure stepped out of the corner of the apartment and looked calmly out of the window down at the running figure, they walked back to the wall and pulled their knife out and went back to the window. The figure from the couch rose and sat up, looking to the figure at the broken window. "You didn't have to cut it so close Coal." The figure complained, "Not to mention the way that guy escaped, no class at all!"
The figure at the window who was referred to as Coal smirked, "Get up, Theo won't be so happy if he comes back here to still find us chatting Zach." Coal put one foot up on the window sill then without hesitation, jumped out. Zach sighed, "These guys these days . . ." Zach got up and quickly turned and ran towards the window and jumped out following Coal.
...
The three of them stood in the alleyway bellow the broken window for a while, letting their "prey" get a head start. There was a chilling silence between the, as they stood in the rain, they had pushed their wet hair out of their face to reveal three different set of eyes matching coloured streaks in their hair. Blue with blue, red with red, and green with green. They looked at each other then without a word they took off from the scene. The one with the blue streak jumping up taking the sky route while the green streaked one walked casually back, and the red backed into the shadows leaving the others to meet him at the trap. The red one blended in with the area mocking the wind and rain, using them as a cloak. The blue climbed nimbly on the buildings and rooftops. Suddenly there was a flash of lightning causing his grip to slip from the rooftop. Quickly he grabbed onto a window cursing himself for being caught off guard by the lightning. There was another flash and he heard a scream, he looked up to see it was a little girl's room, the girl was screaming at him. "MOTHER! FATHER! THERE'S A MONSTER AT MY WINDOW!"
The two parents burst into the room with frying pans and a baseball bat, but when they went to the window they saw only rain. They calmed the girl down and dismissed it as a trick of the storm before returning to bed. "Monster!" The little girl's scream rang out in the his head, "Monsters . . . Are we monsters?"
The figure skidded around the corner narrowly dodging another knife. "Shit," he thought to himself, "Why'd they have to put me on this job?! They said it would be easy, why didn't they-" His thoughts were quickly cut short when a new figure fell from the sky before him, landing in a kneeling position. They lifted their head up, their eyes glinting a dangerous sapphire blue. The new figure pulled their hand back then swiftly moved it forward like a wave, darts flashed in the strike of lightning. He turned and ran back praying that he would make it out of the alley before the other figure caught up to he neared the exit his hopes dropped like a stone as another flash of lightning showed the outline of the previous figure. He looked back to see the figure walking up to him slowly and back to see the other doing the same, he was doomed. His heart pounded, this is how he would end, this was it. A small prick in this left arm suddenly screamed for attention to which revealed a small dart in his arm. Due to the new information of a dart in his arm his vision blurred and he leaned against the wall. The rain was thinning and he looked up to see the two figures looking down upon him, their jet black hair set in the same style. They were almost identical except for the eyes and coloured streaks running through their parted hair. The one who followed him out of the apartment had glowing blood red eyes with a crimson red streak while the newer figure had sapphire blue eyes and navy blue streak. They stood over him waiting, "Waiting for what?" he thought. Another similar figure dropped straight in front of him, if he wasn't already blacking out he was sure he would've jumped. The new figure was no different from them only sporting emerald green eyes and evergreen streak in his hair. "Oh . . . that was what they were waiting for," he thought distantly as he slipped into the darkness.
...
The three figures returned to the apartment. When they opened the door they found the window repaired and hole in the wall nonexistent. They moved to the kitchen where they prepared teas, Coal choosing apple cinnamon, Zach taking mint, and the last figure taking jasmine. Coal jumped onto the counter and sipped his tea then pulled out a chocolate pocky and nibbled on it making it look like a cigarette when he stopped while Zach took a chair and sat on it backwards facing Coal. "He gave a nice chase didn't he Theo?" Zach finally spoke as he finished pouring the sugar bowl into his cup and chewed on a white sugar cube.
Theo scowled as he still prepared his jasmine tea, "Don't act so casual, that was the 5th attack on you this week, Zach!" He took out a peppermint stick and stirred his tea for a moment before sticking it in his mouth.
Coal nodded, "Yeah this week they've been laying pretty low, I mean only 7 attacks on Theo, 11 on me, and 5 on Zach. They're up to something, I can feel it." Theo finished preparing his tea and leaned against the wall staring into his cup intently.
"What's up with the tea Theo? You reading the leaves again?" Zach joked.
"Wow you must be nervous, you're starting to try to tell jokes again." Theo remarked coldly.
Zach's features hardened, "Fine, I'm nervous! I admit it!" he growled, "This is lower than last time, that attempt was clearly to rustle our leaves. Come on, they were sending us a newbie! They're up to something big, bigger than last time." Silence settled in the apartment, each of them intently interested in their tea.
Coal looked up, "I forgot, we're moving in three days to Japan." his voice was a calm as it could be, as if this was a normal everyday activity.
Theo stiffened and choked on his tea, "What?" he spat out.
Zach sighed still slightly tensed from the news, "You could've told us earlier you know Coal."
Theo finally recovered from choking on tea shook his head, "Kay, what's our story, where are we staying, and what are we doing?"
Coal produced three envelopes. "We are attending Ouran Academy, a private highschool for big and rich families in Japan. Of course we'll be going as Art scholarship students. There has recently been an increase in magic energy in the school and we're there to make sure we recruit them before the Shadow Legion does."
Theo nodded, "Will we be going as the Black Angels or normal students?" he asked.
"Seeing that we're going as scholarship students I'm guessing normal students," Zach answered, making sure to stick his tongue out at Theo. Theo returned with a death glare.
Coal nodded choosing to ignore his siblings, "We'll be occupying another apartment in the same complex as the other newest scholarship student attending Ouran."
"Well there's a plus, we'll have better luck recruiting them if we're closer. Seeing that they'll be neighbors and a fellow scholarship student it'll probably be slightly easier to get them to join us." Zach reasoned.
Theo downed the last of his tea, "I'm turning in, if we're moving to Japan in three days we better rest." As Theo settled into bed thoughts swam everywhere, a single thought replaying over and over in his head. "Ouran be ready for all of Hell to break out, the Black Angels are coming."
