CHAP 1

.

...If one day you have to choose between me and this world, promise me, choose this world…

I promised that, and I promised to protect you too…

I still remember that day, dusk and rain. I like to think it was crying for you. Water poured on my face. It was rain-water or my tears? I didn't know… I don't know…

It's alright…

Your breath was broken. Your rare smile rose on your lips. It was so beautiful, like the dead-red light on the horizon at sunset.

And I could do nothing to keep it.

Please… Live… This… won't be ended like this… So… you have to… live…

Suddenly, rain was so quiet. I couldn't hear anything but your voice. I couldn't see anything but you face.

As long as you live… We… will meet again…

Living years without you? I don't know how to do it…

And… I…

Those were the last words you talked to me…

...

At the corner of the city, where the sunlight never illuminates, the club runs whole night. People come here to plunge into constant drunkenness. Odour of alcohol, odour of money, odour of sex. Everyone whirls madly in deafening music, unnoticed they are being killed gradually by themself.

In a gloomy room, totally separated from the chaotic nosy outside, there is a thin man. His skin is dead-pale, even looks paler with his abnormal long hair. And his eyes, with long canthi and yellow pupils, make people think about snake when they look into them. He's now sitting monumentally quiet, staring at the mirror in front. The strange thing is the image in the mirror is not his reflection. The snakelike eyes just gazing, the shadow of a grave printed in his wily pupils. Abruptly, a monstrous smirk appears on his lips. He raises his voice, moderately orders the black, almost unseen figure bowing behind him.

"Go! It's full moon today." – He purrs slightly in his throat – "The King is finally awake."

.

...

It is 22h now. The moon is full. The muddy light can't dispel the dark covering the deserted alley. Sasuke Uchiha is walking home. Today is so tiring. He had to go to about seven companies to hand in his job applications. He worked in a bank before, it was a sinecure, but boring. He's still young, he still has a long life, and he doesn't want to kill his youth like that, so he made up his mind and quit his job. His older brother, Itachi, is a detective. He is quite far away from this city, therefore Sasuke lives alone here. With some people, living on their own is rather hard and lonely. But Sasuke doesn't feel that. He's a quiet person, silent and don't like being noticed, though it's really hard because of his beautiful face, so living alone is the best for him. At once, living like this, he will completely free to use his time, his life, and it's really great! Of course he made some dates in the past, but they were not long. Maybe all the girls weren't his tip. Maybe his right woman will appear soon in the future. Maybe…

The alley is quiet, too quiet. There are only the monotonous echoes of his footsteps on the brick road. Left. Right. Left. Right…

Suddenly, the echoes stop. Their owner hears something. The sound is light, but clear. The sound hears like respiration…

Sasuke frowns. Surely it's not a breathing dog. Normally, Sasuke isn't the kind of person who enjoys interfering in other's affair. But according to Itachi's speech, his brother is such as a cat. Aristocratic. Haughty. And curious.

And, as they usually say, 'curiosity killed the cat'.

Slowly, he follows the direction of the sound. It's near where he's standing, seemly behind some trees. He steps closer carefully, with that the frown on his face goes deeper. If he's not wrong, something, or someone, is bleeding, because he can smell blood…

There is a golden-haired, fainting man, sitting on the ground, shielded by leaves and trees. Sasuke arches his brows. The man is lower his head so he can't see his face, yet the way he leaning on the wall makes he seem completely lifeless. Two stains of blood streaking on his shirt, one at his left side and the other is at his right arm, are scarily large. Of course the blond is still alive, since Sasuke can hear the sound while his lungs are working.

"Hey!" – Calls he softly.

Only the silence answers him.

Signing, Sasuke takes his phone out of his pocket to call emergency services. But, damn it, he forgot to change the battery last night. Sasuke stares at the injured man and thinks. There is no other house or hospital around, although how cold he is or he isn't a doctor, he can't see somebody dying before his eye but not helping, that's why he'll apparently have to bring this blondy home with him.

Signing again, Sasuke bends over the passing-out man…

...

"How was the mission?"

"It failed, Master, all our killers were killed."

"By him only? Not surprised…"

"But, Master, he was badly injured, too."

"Really? Umm, so the curse's still working. Not bad. – Smirk – Has anyone followed him yet?"

"Yes, Master."

"Good. Go."

...

"Oi, Sasuke-kun! Is everything alright?"

Kabuto's voice starts him. Sasuke turns around, while he's trying his best to keep the bigger and taller and unconscious other from falling, the question what makes the neighbor at the other side of the road awake late spins in his head.

"Yeah, I think so." He replies, just aloud enough to be heard and emotionlessly.

"Who's that? Do you need any help?"

Sasuke looks at his inquisitive neighbor through the corner of his eyes, shrugs.

"No. I'm fine." After that, he turns away to unlock his door, without recognizing the insane eyes of Kabuto on him.

It takes him much labor to drag the blond from the alley to his house, then from his door to his bed. Shit, this guy is heavy like hell, especially with such a slender frame as his. After throwing the injured man into the bed, Sasuke quickly undoes his shirt to check the wounds. The wound on his right arm isn't serious, but the once at his left side is really deep. This man has to be too lucky to be able to survive. Through the raven isn't professional, he learnt about first aid when he was during high school, so it isn't a matter for him to treat this kind of wound.

Damn, why is this guy so fucking lucky?

.

...

When everything is completed, it's nearly 0h. Wiping the sweat away, Sasuke gives a sign of relief. Being busy with bandage and antiseptic takes lots of time. Having to pay too much attention to something in a long time makes the raven exhausted. He glares at the other. White bandage covers his right arm and his side. This guy looks much better now, at least more vital than before. His skin is healthily tan, his body is pretty muscular and strong. About his face, with he sunlight-liked bangs hanging over he eyes, for no reasons, Sasuke think this man is extremely handsome, of course but for three marks on each of his cheeks. And, all of a sudden, the Uchiha wonders what happened to this man, afterwards he frowns deeply, can't understand all the things are dancing around his brain. He shakes his head, saving a stranger is crazy enough. Standing up to tidy up the mess, Sasuke swiftly gets out of the bedroom. You can't let a hurt person sleep in the sofa, right? That's why he will have to sleep in the living-room this night.
