Chapter 1: Before
Forever I would wait, with eyes closed until day... for the moon ruins my sweet night. My sweet, sweet night.
Such is the plead of Jin Kisaragi.
The sunlight beat down on Jin's face as his eyes slowly opened and he remembered everything that had happened. He was in the same place as before. He looked down at his uniform and saw what confirmed it. It was stained red in a few areas and torn in others. Jin Kisaragi had really fought his brother however long ago. "Damn, this is how it always ends. These... goddamned voices in my head!" Jin exclaimed. He walked out of the room and to his surprise he was in the air. "Why the hell am I on an airship." Just watch me escape. He thought. Jin leaped off the airship, and realized his position, he quickly turned and assumed the streamline position as he gracefully dove in the water below. When he emerged to the surface he was a few miles off the shorline, and he swam back in no time. The water felt relieving against his skin. That moment he realized how his wounds stung and his lips unchapped, how his skin smoothed over and hair hung down. When he arrived at the shore it seemed as if someone was waiting for him as a figure stood off in the distance staring at him. Jin laid on the beach, the warm sand and sun felt good. A moment later he heard a voice. "Um... excuse me... are uh are you alright?" It was a girl's voice, and Jin recognized it easily, it was his former classmate, Noel Vermillion. "Um... sir?" Noel asked again. Jin sat up and stared at Noel. "What?" He finally asked. "Nothing... I was just... um... you know, worried." Noel said. Jin got up and started to leave. "Wait! Where are you going?" Noel asked. "What does it concern you?" Jin replied, not even stopping. "I- I don't know... I just was worried." Noel said. "Then you should leave." Jin said. "Wait!" Noel pleaded. "I don't have the time... for you." Jin said. He walked off toward Kagutsuchi, as the sun started to set. Maybe this is the beginning of it all... maybe it's the end- no, I don't have the time to sit around and think... Jin stopped his thoughts as he felt the breeze against his skin, his hair slightly blew and brushed up against his cheek. He looked to the horizon, and realized the sun was setting. He barely walked faster, like he'd forgot about his life before... this fear he had. Jin Kisaragi had not forgot. It would come tonight again, just like the day before, and the day to come. He acted as if he didn't care, with every step, he just walked on.
