+ Chapter Start +
It's dark. Very dark. I can't see anything. I can't see my hands or the keys my hands are pressing .I could hear. Oh yes! I could hear very well. I knew the very key which played a particular sound. Yes…I love my piano. As I enjoy the simple melody of the large instrument, I could hear loud footsteps walking up my porch steps. It scared me. I'm scared. The sounds get louder but I keep playing.
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
I could feel my fingers tremble as the person got closer. I wasn't able to see anything. Not the man walking through the door. Not the man that walked through my narrow hallway. Nor did I see the small young child that stood timidly at his side. Oh, but I heard it. I heard all of it.
I continued playing faster, the beat in-step to the beat of my heart. I was scared. I didn't want anyone here. I didn't want anyone to touch me again…No…never again…

Blood dripped from my body in many different places. My body felt numb and I could not move. A buzzing sound annoyed my ears painfully. But the worst part of it all; I couldn't see the face of my attacker. It annoyed me to no end. When I am attacked by a human being, it irritates me. But right now, Heh, I guess I shouldn't be worrying about something as foolish as that.
My body hurts…so does my arm…what's happened to me?
I hated no being able to see…I hate it a lot.
"Hm? Your arms still intact? Wow…interesting.,."
My attacker had an annoying voice…I don't know why, he just did.
"Though…you still alive twerp?" I grunted a response, signaling that, yes, I was still alive.
I could hear him from above me. I hate not being able to see.
"Heh, so I guess the Earl was right!! You really are blind!"
The man grabbed my collar and lifted my numb body from the ground. I could tell his face was an inch from mine from the feel of his breaths on my lips. I struggled stupidly to get out of his grasp but failed miserably. I could hear the man laughing now and I hate it. I absolutely hate it…
Letting go of my collar, my numb body fell to the floor with a thud. I inwardly cursed as I try to regain strength to at least sit up. That didn't happen.
I outwardly sighed as I lay myself on my back. I took in even breaths as my energy slowly started to come back to me. I almost forgot about my attacker as I was practically falling asleep during meditation.
"You're a bad fighter huh?"
I grunted.
"What are you talking about? I could just smell the blood seeping out of your body. Admit it! I got you good!"
The man laughed from above me. His laugh was the only good thing I heard all day today…it felt nice.
"Ha! Yeah, I'll admit it twerp. You got me good. Ha-ha!"
I grinned at that, knowing that I at least hurt him…even if it wasn't major.
Feeling in a chirpy mood all of a sudden, I raise my arm up into the sky, as if asking god to shake my hand.
"Kuro. Kuro Kuuki"
I could tell the man was surprised by my sudden action but I kept my arm raised. Suddenly, a warm gloved hand wrapped around mine and shook my hand awkwardly. I grinned at the man above me, though not really knowing where his actually was.
"Tyki Mikk"
"Hmm…nice name…"
Losing energy, I let go of Tyki's hand and my left arm drops uselessly down by my side once again. There was a long silence…
"Hey Baka Tyki?"
"EH?! Excuse me you little twerp! My name is-!"
"Are the stars shinning tonight?"
There was complete silence. It scared me. I didn't like it silent. Even the akuma weren't crying in agony. It was…to quiet.
"Heh, yeah"
Without realizing it, tears of depression and stress started to run down my face. I couldn't stop it…I wanted so much to stop crying. The more I tried to stop the tears, the more they came out.
"Hey Twerp."
I grunted.
"Im gonna tell you this. The stars are out tonight brighter then anything else in the world. The waves are at a calm silence. And the people are safe from akuma today."
I suddenly stopped my crying as I opened my eyes in surprise. Of course though, I still couldn't see anything.
"So with that, I'm gonna kill you. Don't worry your dying on a beautiful day. Not everyone dies on the first day of winter, when the snow just starts to fall."
Heh…first day of winter huh? Snow…its white isn't it? Cold, frozen, and white… beautiful…
"Good Night Kuro"

I played faster till the song was over. Then there was silence.
I knew two people were here. I could hear it. But what did they want? What did they want from me? I tried keeping calm as I try and stop my trembling fingers.
"Kuro-kun."
My eyes hot open. I knew this person. Its was Cross-sama! It was him! He came back! But…who was the one next to him? Keeping my cool, I replied.
"Heh, long time no see Cross-sama. I thought you would never return."
Cross laughed like a sick frog, his throat hoarse.
"Yeah well, I wanted you to meat my idiot apprentice. I think you two will get a long fine."
Apprentice?! Why?! Why was that child his apprentice? Why…
"Oh! Before I leave, I put extra food in that horrible kitchen of yours. Chow!"
I was bout to call out to him but the child beat me to it. That's when I found out that we were not going to be best friends…ever!
I didn't listen to what the master and apprentice were talking about but to tell you the truth I just didn't care anymore. I was angry. Cross was the one who took care of me. Actually took care of me (excluding my now deceased mother) when others wanted to kill me. I don't want this child to steal you from me… No! I…I won't…I won't let…it...happen..!
"Um…Cross-sama left…" The child spoke though quiet timidly.
In anger, I started to play a song to try and calm my nerves. Of course, the kid had to spoil my fun by asking me pointless questions.
"Um…My name…my name is Allen Walker!"
I stopped my playing for a minute. My sightless eyes were staring at whatever was in front of them.
"Good for you…"
"EH?!?!?!"
Already I knew I wouldn't like this kid…Cross-sama, why are you torturing me?
