Host1 Greetings anime and manga fans, and welcome to Yoru no Seishin Productions's first fanfiction.

(insert random confetti)

Host1 Not as exciting as I wanted to make it, but oh well. Anyways, I will be your fabulous host on this wonderful journey. You may call me Tenma.

Profile updated.

Tenma Ah much better! Now there was something I wanted to say before we begin the story, but I can't seem to remember. Oh well, I'll see if I can remember by the end of the chapter. Enjoy! ;)


Chapter 1:

Prelude to Darkness

Location: No current data

It was dark as far as the eye could see. The only lights to show the way were the street lights and the moon. The rain was like a gentle hand against the searing pain in my back as I ran. I didn't know how long I had been running, where I was going, or even why the hell I was running in the first place! I thought about stopping to rest and think, but something in the back of my head told me to keep running. So I did.

I ran until my exhaustion drowned out whatever had urged me to keep going. At that moment, I wish that it had happened sooner as fate pulled one of its sadistic jokes, causing me to slip and land face-first on the slick, smooth cobblestone street.

Cold, wet, and tired beyond description, I laid there as the rain continued to fall. Now that I didn't have to worry about running, I turned my attention to the pain in my back and immediately regretted it. It felt as though someone had taken a white-hot knife and had begun to carve into my back. I decided to ease the pain by attempting to focus on something else, and the first thing I took notice of was the blood that had begun to pool around me.

It was then that I began to drift in and out of consciousness, whether it was from exhaustion or blood loss, I didn't quite know.

The last thing I remember before going out cold was the sound of voices, two to be exact.

"Doctor Stein, did you have to drag me out grave digging with you?", I heard a young girl ask.

"Well you are the one who complained about me dissecting a few endangered species, besides you seemed very eager to come when I offered you extra credit" exclaimed an older gentleman who I judged from the girl's part of the conversation was Dr. Stein.

"I still can't believe I fell for the old extra credit offer" "Aaaaargh!" the girl yelled.

"Don't beat yourself up about it, it's in your nature" "Besides someone had already beat us to the cemetery by the time we got there" "Lucky bastard got all the good ones", Dr. Stein calmly said.

"I'd hate to meet the people who share your interests" the girl joked.

"Great! You can be my guest to the next sadist convention!" said the Doctor with a hearty laugh.

"You really don't have to…" "Huh?" "Dr. Stein there's a girl lying in the middle of the road."

"A gang probably decided to ditch a body here." "It seems to still be fresh, help me drag it inside."

It was then that I felt a gentle touch on my neck.

"Dr. Stein, she has a pulse!"

"Excellent, can't wait to see what kind of reaction I get out of her."

"You're not going to dissect her!"

"And just how are you going to stop me?"

At that point, all I heard was a sound that could only be described as a swift thud.

"Ow!" "That thing is very effective!" complained the Doctor.

"Quit your whining, and help me carry her." "You're lucky we're not very far from the Academy."

And with that, I was out like a light.


Tenma A tad short, but still a good start. Still can't remember what I wanted to mention earlier. What was it?
