Because I told you I will write something that I am infinitely scared of trying, I spent a lot of time preparing for this fanfic – plotting, writing drafts, and researching. I hope you'll like it very much and that I won't disappoint you ~ This is for you, my sweet Choco-chan, TheGreatOtaku.


Darkness before Dawn
Part 1

Prologue

Hikaru held his form frozen on the chair, refusing to give in the tears that threatened to overspill. His hands clenched and relaxed on the arm rest in a continuous fashion in a desperate effort to gain control of his emotions. Feeling that he was now slightly composed, he leaned his head against the back of the chair, slouching ever so slightly. His head hurt badly and deep in his chest was a nagging pain that something was terribly wrong, making his heart gallop in loud frantic beats. He made a conscious effort to calm his erratic heart by taking slow deep breaths. But the sick feeling at the pit of his stomach only served to make matters worse – further convincing him how right his instincts were. Impossibly, his heart beat even faster, making adrenaline flow in swift waves through his body, propelling him to his feet as he finally gave in to the worry eating at him. He strode out the room to confront the others. He couldn't deny it any longer. He felt it, knew it with a tangible certainty. Something awful had happened to his twin.
