It was a bright and sunny day. Yuuri and Shouri were playing together in the park, throwing a baseball between each other, when Shouri accidentally threw the baseball too high, causing it to land near the street.

"Ah, sorry, Yuu-chan!"

"It's okay, big brother! I'll go get it!"

"Be careful!"

Yuuri ran to the sidewalk, when he saw another boy his age walking across the street, his nose in a book. The boy was so engrossed in his book, he didn't notice the speeding car racing towards him.

"Watch out!"

A loud screeching noise filled the air, followed by a thud.

"Yuuri!"

The sun was setting as Yuuri Shibuya walked home from the park, sunglasses on his face and cane in his hand. As he passed some public restrooms, a flash of movement in the corner of his eye caught his attention; it looked a lot like a distressed aura.

Looking across the street to his left, Yuuri saw a group of roughneck students surrounding another student, their auras flashing with arrogance and malice. The lone student's light gray, almost silver, aura with gold and silver streaks flickered with distress, though on the whole he didn't seem to be too concerned.

From what Yuuri could hear, the group was trying to get the lone student to "hang out" with them (read: bully him into giving them all his money). Seeing that the roughnecks were getting annoyed, Yuuri decided to step in.

"What are you doing over there?" Yuuri called out. The roughnecks turned towards him in annoyance. "I don't suppose you're doing a service by mobbing that guy are you?"

"Tch. This doesn't concern you, old man!" One of the roughnecks called out.

Yuuri raised an unimpressed eyebrow. Turning his body and walking towards them, using his cane to find the curb (it would be embarrassing if he tripped now), he replied, "You know, just because I'm short and have a cane doesn't mean I'm old. Besides, regardless of whether or not it concerns me, what you all are doing still isn't ri-!"

The end of his sentence broke off into a shout when he tripped on the opposite curb. Wincing in pain, Yuuri pushed himself up, muttering, "How embarrassing," under his breath. Looking up, he was about to speak again when suddenly the lone student ran away.

"Ah." Yuuri blinked in surprise.

"Tch, thanks to you our prey got away." Looking up, he saw that the roughnecks had advanced towards him. "What are you gonna do about it?"

'Ah,' Yuuri thought, 'I may have made a mistake…'

Yuuri was then grabbed by the collar and pushed against a wall, before being unceremoniously dragged into a bathroom, dropping his cane in the process.

'Eh, this isn't the men's bathroom.' Yuuri thought, looking around. 'No way, they can't possibly be thinking of…!'

Struggling, he attempted to squirm out of the roughnecks'' grip, trying to use the self-defense moves his mother had taught him, but he only succeeded in knocking off his sunglasses. Dragging him into a stall, the roughnecks forced him to his knees and positioned his head over the water.

"Stop it, let go of me!" Yuuri yelled, hoping the commotion would draw someone's attention.

"Heh, let this be a lesson shrimp," 'Shrimp?! I may be short but I'm not that short!' "This is what happens to those who get in our way!" And with those words, the goons shoved Yuuri's head into the toilet, flushing it as they went.

Once his head touched the water, he felt a touch of something familiar, before he felt the sensation of being dragged down.

'Huh? Is there a black hole in the toilet?! Then again black holes technically aren't black...Do public toilets just have extra sucking power? Either way, I don't think this should be happening!'

He felt the dragging sensation grow stronger, as if a whirlpool as dragging him into its center. A myriad of colors flashed before his eyes, and he marvelled at the beauty of it all before everything faded to black.
