Hey peeps, here's a new one. Different genre this time, going for drama that will keep you on your toes. But, then again, there is that romance in there too, and yes, I did say this was my contribution to the KaRe wave, so if you don't like, don't read. Flames just because it's shounen-ai will be burned as an energy efficient fuel. Thou hast been warned.

Prologue
-
His throat burned. His fingers numbed. Dirt and soot caked his body and his eyes blazed with more than fire.
Kai Hiwatari's crimson eyes burned with hatred.
Hatred from the one who did this; the one who had taken innocent lives and controlled others with cruelty and destruction.
It was never meant to be this way. It was never meant to happen. Russia should not have fallen into the hands of such people. It should not have to be held at gunpoint by a criminal organisation. Kai should not have had to stand where he did, amid the flames and the screams and the slaughter that raged around him. He should not have had to be the one to find the creature that destroyed lives so efficiently and killed without mercy.
But there was no other. No other to stop this new, terrible enemy. So Kai had to be the one to end it; the one to put an end to the hated, soulless murderer.
The hated, soulless murderer that stood on top of the building before him, silhouetted by the flames that leapt around them, faceless as they surveyed the chaos they had created.
Kai shielded his eyes against the sparks that blinded him, to gain a few precious seconds of sight in order to identify his enemy.
And in those few seconds, he saw.
His hand dropped and his eyes widened, not knowing or caring that his vision was blurring, that his skin was burning. He opened his mouth to speak, but the horror had rendered him speechless. He could have died right then, and he would have still been standing, for the realisation at the identity of his enemy had transfixed him to the spot, a statue consumed in orange fire.

There you go, there's your taster. Doesn't say much, I know, but the smarter individuals out there will probably have guessed the plot already. As always, tell me what you think, most importantly whether you think I should continue with this fic, 'cause if it's crap to start with, I won't bother.
Toodle-Pip!
