A/N: Ok. This is an AU fic. The major differences that I feel I should explain before I start are as follows. Subaru and Hokuto have no magic. The Sumeragi family in general have no onmyoujitsu powers. Seishiro-san, however, still has his powers in abundance. Hell, I'll probably give him some brand new ones as well for the heck of it. Oh, and he has both eyes. Seishiro-san is about 27 years old, Subaru is about 17. There are no Ten no Ryu or Chi no Ryu, no battle for the fate of the world, and no dream seers, backstabbing and schizophrenic or otherwise. You'll be able to figure out the rest as I write it, if I told you more, it would give away too much. I am still a newbie at this, so please take that into consideration when reading this. Also, if you like it, or even just have a couple of pointers that might help me post something halfway decent next time, please share them with me. However, if you're just going to flame, please don't bother. So, now that that's taken care of, on with the prologue!
Disclaimer: I do not own X/1999, Tokyo Babylon, or any of the characters from the aforementioned series'. I do own the plot for this fic.
A tall, dark man leant against a building, seemingly invisible to the people passing by him. He was dressed in an entirely black suit, save for a white dress shirt that was hidden for the most part by his jacket. Dark hair falling nearly into his eyes, which were hidden by dark glasses. He watched the people walk past him, observing each one from behind his glasses for a brief moment before dismissing them and turning his attention to the next. He was uninterested by all of them, each was the same as the previous and the next. However, he then noticed a teenage boy, and his attention lingered much longer then it had on the other humans milling around the young one. The boy had black hair that fell gently into his eyes occasionally (1), and his face was pale, smooth and soft in its' lines. Gently smiling lips, colored similarly to the flowers that were his own trademark, and wide, innocent eyes that were green and sparkling with life and purity. Delicate, lithe framed body clothed in a white coat over blue shirt and black pants. The youth had a timid, shy air about him, along with the innocence that he radiated. The dark-clothed man smirked. It seemed he had found someone worth being his prey. He disappeared in a swirl of sakura petals, this action still going unnoticed by the people in the street… and the boy that had so unknowingly captured his attention.
-TBC-
(1) Subaru's hair is kinda a cross between X/1999 and Tokyo Babylon… it's longer and kinda softer looking, like in Tokyo Babylon, but it doesn't have the bangs that it does in TB, the front bit is styled more like in X. That make sense? I hope it does.
