Disclaimer- I do not own anything but the plot. If I see any of it on someone else's story, I will be furious. If you do want to borrow something (not likely) then please ask.
Dedicated to my sister dearest because it's only for her that I thought of this story.
A lot of the stuff is made up because I needed it for my story. And could anyone tell me their ages?
Prologue– Introducing Shadows Inc.
Have you ever seen the shadows running around?
With mock-love and laughter in their eyes…
And have you ever tried to capture them?
And could not,
However hard you tried.
Momo pulled the cap off with his teeth then drunk all of the Ponta in one gulp, "That was horrible," he complained, "That practice was impossible even for buchou"
"Fsshu, It would be for you," bit out Kaido, he and Momo had played a match last thing and Momo had won accounting for Kaido's juvenile anger.
Momo just stuck his tongue out and threw his empty can of Ponta at Kaidoh when he turned to his locker.
"Momoshiro, Kaido," called out Tezuka warningly from outside where he had been ordering the freshmen to pick up the balls.
The threat of more laps, even the implied threat, was perhaps the only thing that would have made them stop fighting but throughout the time they took to change they glared at each other. Then suddenly Eiji jumped in front of Kaido and started pulling his cheeks and exclaiming, "Little mamushi is so cute when he glares, nya?"
Kaido fell over from the weight of the older boy, he dropped the water that he was drinking on his tennis clothes and hissed but that only made Eiji clutch him tighter.
"Kikumaru-chan, don't" admonished Oishi gently pulling him off the smaller boy.
A few minutes later Kaido cursed as he tried to stuff everything in his bag and leave, he seemed to be the last one left. He hurried out but stopped and hid in the shadow of a wall when he heard voices, from experience he knew that the only people who stayed so late where people who had detention or people who were waiting for their lovers. He didn't want to meet with either
.The voices floated over to him, "…it's a great place to find a boyfriend, and nobody from school has to find out," Kaido blinked rapidly in surprise and wondered why Fuji-senpai had taken it into his head to advise one of the girls in the school about her love problems and why it was important that no one should 'find…
"You've convinced me Fuji, just give me the web address and I'll do the rest," Momoshiro's voice was speaking!
Kaido nearly fell over in surprise and his face reddened at the implication, 'who would take that fool? No wonder he has to search on the Internet for a boyfriend,' but Kaido was also curious. He listened carefully to the rest of their conversation and memorized the address though he wasn't really sure why.
He heard Momo running away, yelling, "Bye, Fuji" and thought that in a few minutes he would come out of his hiding place; by that time Fuji was sure to be gone.
Or so he thought, after waiting for five dreadful minutes he sneaked out slowly only to be stopped by the sight of Fuji and Tezuka with their arms around each other and as he watched Fuji stopped whispering and Tezuka brought their lips closer gradually until they were touching.
In a leisurely manner, as if they had all the time in the world, they moved together. Kaido watched with wide eyes, he knew he was in plain sight and the moment Fuji-senpai looked up he would be caught but he couldn't bring himself to move. He dimly heard a moan, "Kunimitsu…" and was entranced by the lop-sided smile on his buchou's face, the kiss broke and Fuji moved his lips to Tezuka's neck, perhaps it was the shadow of Tezuka's face but Fuji's fully opened eyes seemed to have a mischievously hidden message …Kaido ran.
Kaido sat up in bed with a frustrated hiss, "Can't get sleep, stupid Fuji, stupid buchou." He muttered, he still remembered vividly every little thing that had happened and by the dark midnight light they seemed to take on exaggerated meaning and every movement was blown up until they assumed the shady proportions of pornography.
Not even the hard grip of his tennis racquet could help him now; indeed they seemed to make everything much worse. He got out of bed and, forgoing his slippers, set his feet on the cold wooden floor.
He slowly made his way across the hall and down the stairs trying not to look anywhere but in front because shadows were all around and to his sleepless puffed-up eyes they took on sinister shapes that were entwined around each other and kissed him andteased him with their silent laughter when he tried to catch them, Kaido inwardly fumed.
He went into the kitchen and warmed up some milk for himself, he drunk a bit and cradled the glass to his chest shivering a little because of the cold, the only warmth came from the little stove as the radiators were turned off. Kaido stared morbidly at the flickering flames and gently his eyes began to shut and his thoughts started wandering.
CRASH!
The glass had fallen as Kaido whipped to his right in panic, having seen a flash out of the corner of his eye. He relaxed as he saw that it was only the light playing tricks on the surface of his laptop; which he had forgotten to shut earlier that evening, he looked around for a dustpan and broom and hoped that neither of his parents had heard him because his parents surely wouldn't rest until they knew the whys and wherefores of the whole business.
'And I really don't like explaining to them that I saw two of my seniors making-out and I can't stop thinking about it,' thought Kaido despondently. He was nearly finished when he saw another flash. This time he was suspicious, walking over to his laptop he inspected it from every angle, just when he was stepping back there was a third flash and Internet Explorer opened. Kaido was stunned because he was quite sure he had not gone into the 'net that day. Impulsively he pulled one of the straw chairs they used while eating in the kitchen and typed in the web address he had heard earlier.
'Shadows Incorporate, odd name,' he mused fidgeting in his place, not quite used to being in one place for very long. Words were blinking on the screen, first-
Shadows Inc.
All those who must live in the darkness and surround themselves with shadows…we welcome you.
Then-
Please sign in or registerKaido searched the screen again and again but could not find out how he was to register. He hissed in frustration and moved to delete the browser when-
Name?flashed on the screen, he hesitantly started to type it in when a sophisticated female voice said; "Our organization moves to make things as simple as possible so please speak your name and we will do the rest."
Kaido opened his mouth and closed it a few times then with an uncharacteristic recklessness said, "Kaido Kaoru," The word disappeared and in place of it came-
Sex?"Male" he had finally decided that he was in his own private version of 'Alice In Wonderland'
Country?"Japan"
Age?
"Uh…seventeen this year," he offered
Problem?
"Huh?" was all he could say.
The female voice came to his rescue, "People of all ages face problems which they feel they cannot handle alone yet they don't know who to tell the problems to, they are the ones who stumble upon our organization. You may have any problem starting from physical things like leprosy and Hepatitis, which are so infectious that people are afraid to come near people who have them or other things such as depression, or identity crisis. We believe that through the placement of people like yourself, you can come through safe and sound. Most importantly, no one has to know"
Kaido thought for a moment, "Identity crisis," he said gruffly before he could remember that the voice was probably just a recording and either way it was only trying to help.
Nickname and Password please-:
"Password can be tennis and nickname can be," he thought for a moment and shrugging as if it did not matter, spoke very deliberately in English, "ViperPlayer,"
Very good. Please hold on tightly.
"Hold on tightly?"he repeated puzzled. The very next second he found out why.
He felt as if he was being sucked into the laptop. He tried to scream but the noise of the wind all around him was too much, he couldn't even hear himself. Then he felt like he was weightless and gently dropped down through darkness, then just as suddenly as it had started; it stopped.
He felt something hit him hard and he toppled over, gradually when he felt that it would be safe to open his eyes he did so. And he couldn't drag his eyes away…
How did you like it? Sorry it was so short but this is only the prologue! And I'm going to update pretty soon because this story interests me. I know this is practically my ONLY update this whole year but I was sucked dry for ideas, my brain was like a sponge that had no more water to give! But I'll do whatever I can soon enough and I'll probably delete one or two of my stories.
