Blood Red
Prologue
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters in this story or the animes they are from.
Welcome everyone! I hope you enjoy this short prologue. The first chapter will be up once I finish writing my other xxxHOLIC fan fiction.
This is a slight X-over between Tsubasa and xxxHOLIC. It is rated M for YAOI in future chapters.
The snow-strewn street was deserted when they arrived. There were no footprints to disturb the newly fallen snow that covered the entire street like a thin blanket. The two young strangers stood in the middle of the road, partially obscured on this moonless night, as they took in their surroundings.
Though it must have been years, perhaps even decades in this time flow, since they had last visited this realm, the young men had no trouble recognizing where they were. It was hard to forget the world that the Dimensional Witch, Yuko Ichihara, inhabited. After all, it was thanks to her that they were able to travel between dimensions like they did. That they should even have ended up in this world at all was…
"We should continue on to the next world," one of the young men said, brushing an impatient pale hand through his raven black hair.
"Kamui," the boy beside him said hoarsely, "I can't wait until the next world." Kamui stared at his twin, his brow creased with worry. Subaru had wrapped his slender arms around himself in an effort to control his shaking body. He wouldn't last much longer.
Damn it, Kamui had known that his brother was in dire need of food. It was all because of that coma Subaru had fallen into while they had stayed in the post-apocalyptic version of this world. But Kamui was fairly sure that there was no 'prey' in this world – and even if there was they were not in close enough proximity.
The soft padding of footsteps through the snow together with Subaru's breath hitching in his throat made Kamui's mind reel back to their present situation. The human sounded close. Kamui felt a growing sense of panic rise in his chest. He reached out to grasp his twin's arm, but it was already too late. Subaru was out of reach.
"Subaru, no! Don't! He isn't 'prey'!" Kamui cried. Subaru glanced back at him for a fraction of a second, his eyes revealing the regret he was already feeling for his soon-to-be mistake.
"I can't, Kamui. I'm sorry," his twin whispered hoarsely before giving into his thirst and sinking his elongated canines into the neck of his unsuspecting victim.
Red blood splattered to the ground, contrasting sharply against the pearl white snow as Subaru greedily gulped down mouthfuls of the warm liquid.
"No!" Kamui cried, "Subaru!"
That's the end of the prologue. Who did Subaru bite? How will this affect anything at all? These questions will be revealed in the first official chapter! Stay tuned and R&R.
