A/N: The SD characters were created by the ingenious Inoue Takehiko-sama. Though I wish they belonged to me.
I got this idea from watching (too much) Mutant X and X-men.
Prologue
"Will you please stop pacing around?" Koshino asked.
"But I'm nervous. We never should've allow him to go alone, against Sawakita Eiji. I should've followed him. I-"
"He didn't want you to go because you would've distracted him. Calm down Sendoh. He won't lose."
Sendoh nodded, "You're right. He won't lost. He promised me he'll come back…"
.
Finally Hikoichi came in. Sendoh grabbed him, "So?!"
Judging from Hikoichi's look Koshino knew the answer already and Sendoh probably did too, but refused to believe it, "Tell me!!"
"Ru…Rukawa-san's…dead," Hikoichi sobbed.
Sendoh dropped his hand.
Koshino frowned, "Akira…Hikoichi maybe you best go for now."
"Hai…"
Sendoh concentrated his energy to form this silver, sphere-like, alarm clock (aka Time Bomb).
"You can't be thinking of…"
"I won't let him die," Sendoh stated resolutely, "Destination: Triangle Park. Time: Wednesday, March 16th, 2023, 3:12 a.m."
Koshino watched as those date, time and coordinates appeared on the surface of the clock. Sendoh tossed the clock onto the ground and it let out a silent ring, causing a continuous ripple in the air, creating a disturbance in time and space.
"Don't do it," Koshino said.
Sendoh ignored him and walked into the ripples above the clock.
.
Sendoh emerged at his destination and pressed down on the alarm to stop the ringing, which caused the waves to stop and thus closing the portal. He found them in a fast pace battle. A pack of panthers suddenly leaped out of the shadows at Kaede. A silver gate appeared and shocked the panthers. A geyser erupted. A wooden plank appeared below Kaede, saving him from electrocution.
'I got to get Kaede out of here,' Sendoh thought creating another Time Bomb, "Destination: Ryonan Gym. Time: Wednesday, March 16th, 2023, 3:32 a.m."
They both heard him and turned to him.
Kaede slowly backed away towards him while keeping an eye on Eiji and whispered, "What are you doing here?"
"You got to come with me."
Kaede frowned, "I can't. Leave quickly."
"No unless you come with me," he said stubbornly.
"I'm not kidding."
"Neither am I."
Kaede frowned thoughtfully and gave slight nod. Sendoh toss the clock onto the ground.
"Don't think you can escape, Rukawa," Eiji said with a wave of his hand.
Kaede shoved him into the portal.
.
Koshino watch Sendoh fall back into the room. He knew immediately that Sendoh was unsuccessful because he still remembered what Sendoh set off to do. Had Sendoh succeeded in rescuing Rukawa, his memory would've been altered and he would have no recollection as to what was happening.
Sendoh slapped his hand on the alarm, "I got to go back again."
"Sendoh don't-"
But it was too late Sendoh had already began to form another Time Bomb, but this time it took longer and when he was done he was perspiring, "Destination: Triangle Park. Time: Wednesday, March 16, 20023, 3:11 a.m."
Koshino watch as he jumped in and within seconds fell back out, wounded, "Akira stop it! Weren't you the one that told me, you shouldn't go messing with the past? Don't you remember what happened last time and the trouble we had to go through to change it back?!"
"Kaede…he can't die, Kosh…"
"But he is," Koshino said sorrowfully, "I know it's hard to accept but please…"
Sendoh looked at him blankly and walked away.
Koshino had a feeling that he wouldn't give up so easily.
.
Sendoh looked at the computer screen and concentrated on another Time Bomb, "Destination: Sawakita Residence, Koukon Hill, 66.71º N latitude, 146.89º W longitude. Time: Monday, November 27, 2003, midnight."
He toss the clock onto the ground and walked into it emerging inside a nice fancy room, 'Now I just got to find Eiji.'
.
Koshino frowned as the phone continued to ring, 'He's not home? Then where can he be? He didn't go back for the third time again, did he?'
.
After going through 5 bathrooms, 21 bedrooms, he finally found the baby room. He looked at the baby in the crib and knew instantly it was Eiji. It wasn't just his looks but the fact that there was a constant gust of wind causing the mobile above his head to turn, despite the fact that all the windows in the room were closed.
He went closer and Eiji. As if sensing he was in danger, Eiji began to cry. Sendoh immediately covered his mouth to stop anyone from hearing. Almost instantly Sendoh realize he was suffocating him, 'I…I can't kill him…he's just a baby. Even if he does grow up to be who he is…right now he's innocent…he doesn't deserve to die…'
Sendoh loosen his grip and saw the silver band on his middle finger.
'No. I can't weaken now. Isn't this what I set out to do? To kill him? I can't let him live. If I do…Kaede will die. I can't allow that to happen. Sumimasen, Sawakita Eiji, but you must die, in order for Kaede to live,' Sendoh thought decisively and kept his hand on Eiji's face until he stop struggling and went limp.
He removed his hands and began focusing his energy, he forced the feelings of remorse away, "Destination: Highridge Apartment, room 306. Time: Wednesday, March 16, 2023, 7:38 a.m."
He dropped the alarm onto the ground and walked through it. He emerged into a foreign room, 'This isn't my room.'
