Kaji

10,000 Years Ago

Screams, everywhere; one by one, they fell…lifeless, the fire consuming their bodies. He watched, in terror as the inferno destroyed their city, their home, their life. He didn't run, he just stood still and stared into the glowing crimson eyes that were filled with anger, pain…All was lost. No one would make it out alive…It was his entire fault. He created the ending to their civilization, his fault…His fault that men, women, and children were dying all around him. His fault. If only…

His eyes widen in realization. There is something he can do. He looked up at the monster he created. 'It's the only way.' He thought. Sighing, he ran towards the crimson orbs. He knew that no one would survive, heck, even he won't. But it was the only way. He was running towards his end, but towards a new beginning.

'I'm sorry it must end this way…I'm sorry for the pain I caused you…I'm sorry…Forgive me…'

Present Day: Tokyo, Japan: Darkrai High

"Can you believe it? We get to go to that new island they discovered over a year ago! Kaji Island." A boy with black hair that reached to the tips of his ears stated.

"Fire Island?" Questioned a girl with really short brown hair who had her bangs clipped to the left side. The boy nodded. "Yup Aina. That's what it's called when translated."

"Why is it called that Dex?" The boy, who is now known as 'Dex' held a contemplating look. "Well…I really have no clue." Dex gave a sheepish smile.

"You're hopeless…" Sighed Aina.

"It's called 'Kaji,' or Fire when translated, Island because about 10,000 years ago a fire spread throughout the island, killing everything and everyone that crossed its path." A boy with royal blue short hair answered from his seat. The boy didn't look at them, but at the front of the class, his arms crossed. Dex and Aina looked at each other before turning back to him, Aina was the one to ask, "How do you know that Eli?"

"…Research…" After that, 'Eli' got up and left the classroom. Dex and Aina looked at each other again, Dex shrugging his shoulders.

Outside, under the blossoming Sakura tree, stood a group of teens, five handsome young men accompanied by three decent looking young women. One of the teens, who is sitting, back against the tree, had bright red hair, styled in a very unique way that resembled the wings on a plane. He had his eyes closed. In his arms is a girl with long silver hair, her violet orbs watching the girl with long crystal blue hair, that is tied up in a pony tail who had the most vibrant pink eyes, stare at the orange haired teen who is joking around with the other red haired teen who seemed to have trouble holding down his temper. The teen with short lavender hair and eyes stared at the two teens, smirking at the red heads angry face. The last male had two-toned blue hair. A darker shade in the back and a lighter grayish shade in the front. He was leaning on the tree, a girl with mid-back light hazel hair and forest green eyes stood next to him. "Chill, Johnny. I was just messing with you. Jeesh! You have quite a temper." Chuckled the orange haired teen. The red head, known as Johnny was still fuming. "That. Was. Not. Funny. Brooklyn." Johnny replied, gritting his teeth.

"You really need to control your emotions Johnny." The other red head had opened his icy blue eyes to see the commotion. The girl in his arms let out a small laugh. "You're one to talk Tala. Every time you see a guy look at me, you pounce him." Tala opened his mouth to protest, but closed it and turned his head away.

"So, you guys excited about going to 'Kaji Island'?" The girl with hazel hair had spoken up. "Not really." The lavender haired teen replied. Turning her vibrant pink eyes away from Brooklyn, the other girl gave a quizzical look at the lavender haired teen. "Why Bryan?"

The questioned teen sighed and crossed his arms before replying, "We're just going to look at some ancient ruin, take notes, and leave. Where's the fun in that?"

"Hn. That's why you sneak away, right Riku?" The bluenette teen decided to join in. Standing straight, he smirked at the blue-haired teen who smiled sheepishly. "Uh, it might be hard to, but we could if you want Kai…" Riku answered still giving her sheepish smile to the group who gave her a small smile back. Riku had a talent for sneaking way unnoticed, even if she was standing next to you, whether it is in class, an assembly, class trip, you name it, but she always made it back on time and undetected. The hazel haired teen turned to Kai and said, "Kai, there's going to be tons of archeologist there, we're gonna get caught!" Kai turned his violet orbs towards her and replied, "Then, it's another challenge. Why? You scared Aya?" Aya snorted.

"No Way!"

"Hn. Then it's settled, we're gonna leave the group." Kai looked at the others and received nods from every one of them.

'Please…Help me…I don't like the dark…please…please…' Kai found himself surrounded in nothing but the dark. He couldn't see anything. But he heard a voice asking for help.

"Who are you?" Yelled Kai looking around him.

'Help…please…don't leave me here…please…'

"How can I help you if I don't know where you are?" Kai continued to yell. He knew it was a female's voice, but he didn't know where it was coming from.

It became silent. Kai could only hear his breathing... suddenly…Kai woke up. Panting heavily, Kai looked around to find concern faces from his friends and classmates.

A blonde haired teen asked, "Hey, you alright Kai?" Controlling his breathing, Kai nodded and replied, "Yeah…I'm…fine Max…" Kai felt someone rub his back. He turned to find Aya's concerned face.

"Are you sure you're alright Kai?" Kai looked into her forest-green eyes, sighed and leaned down until their foreheads touched.

"Yeah…I just had…" Kai had to think, 'was it a dream? A nightmare? A vision?' "…a dream…that's all" Tala snorted. "It looks to me like a nightmare." Tala turned to sit back down, only to find the rest of the class still staring, glaring at them he barked, "The show's over, so why don't you all just turn around!"

Kaji Island

"Hello class, my name's Judy Mizuhara, yes, I am Max's mom." Mrs. Mizuhara smiled at her son who turned a bright crimson. "As you know, this island was burned 10,000 years ago. A very intelligent civilization destroyed by it."

"Do you know what started it?" Everyone turned to Eli, who ignored his or her stares; instead, he stared hard at Mrs. Mizuhara who felt her spine go rigid. "Um…we're not quite sure. But we have theories saying it could have been a natural disaster."

"If it was natural, wouldn't they be able to escape?" Eli continued to give Mrs. Mizuhara that piercing stare. "Well, it could have started on all sides." Mrs. Mizuhara was hoping he'd stop at that and gave a relieved sigh when he did.

"Well, let's continue." Everyone was too busy with Eli's "staring" contest, that no one noticed that their class became eight teens short.

"Thank you Eli!" Spoke Riku. "So, what are we going to do now?" She turned to the others who shrugged their shoulders in return.

'Help…' Kai's eyes widen as he began to look around. 'It's that voice again…but' He was pulled out of his thoughts as Tala began to shake him. Kai shrugged Tala's hands off.

"Dude, Kai. Are you sure you're alright?" Tala asked his friend.

"I'm fine. I thought I…never mind." Kai began to walk away. The others gave each other skeptical looks and shortly followed.

"There's nothing fun here!" Exclaimed Riku, yelling towards the sky. The others silently agreed. They had been wandering around, but all they saw were burned this, and burned that; ruins this, and ruins that.

Kai stood away from the others. He couldn't stop thinking of the voice. He wanted to find it. While Kai was deep in thought, he didn't notice Aya give him a concern look. Aya began to walk towards him.

"Kai-" She touched his shoulder gently, "are you alright?" Kai looked up at her, nodded and leaned down to give her a small kiss as if to give her an extra reassurance.

'Help…please…' Kai heard it again, but this time it was louder. He ran towards the direction he believed it came from, leaving the others, especially Aya, in shock. He heard them yell out to him, but he ignored them. 'I need to find her' he decided.

'Help…'

'Where are you?' Thought Kai. He hoped she heard him, but as luck would have it, she didn't.

'Help me…please…help…' The voice was getting louder by the second. Kai ran faster, determination etched on his face. 'I'm coming' Suddenly Kai came across a dead end. He was sure the voice came from inside the rock wall. He began tapping it, trying to see if it had a secret panel and to his surprise, it did. He pushed it. The ground behind him shook gently. Kai looked down to find a square panel that he didn't notice before slide back. Kai found a staircase that went down deeper. Taking a deep breath, Kai started down the steps, the entrance closing behind him.
