Prologue

Tsukasa looked on at the new group of entrants in boredom.  A new batch of them, nothing extraordinary, he was already tired of playing games with them.  He could see some of the old fogies sneering in devilish delight.  The newbies were fresh blood, fresh hunt that they had not enjoyed for a long while.

With a sigh, he went to look for the other three rascals whom he had grown up with.  He wondered what they were up to.  Soujirou must be grinning from ear to ear; there were several girls in the new group who've entered their land.  Tsukasa noticed that two of them were even rather pretty.  Akira might be somewhat disappointed though, all the girls looked quite young, not quite like the mature, sophisticated women he went for.  Rui, that strange fellow, must have not even noticed the new entrants.

Despite his apparent boredom and lack of interest, Tsukasa mimic a wolf's cry inimitably and smirked triumphantly like a little kid who's just won a large trophy when the group froze in their tracks, frightened out of their wits.

Bakas! Tsukasa thought arrogantly to himself before strutting off.  Wolves were intelligent animals, not like some bakas who wandered into this dark realm of no return.  No wolf would ever find himself in this dark land.

Inspiration for this story came from two sources:

A nightmare I had recently: Gosh, sweat drop, it was horrible, made me had such a fitful night when I had such a long day the next day. The Forbidden Game (a trilogy by LJ Smith)

But this story will be quite different from "The Forbidden Game", and as I love HYD, I'm writing this with F4 and Tsukushi as the key characters.  Please R&R, and let me know what you think of it! :) I need feedback! Thanks!

Warning: As the story progresses, it may get quite dark (what did you expect, the main inspiration came from my nightmare, hadn't been so disturbed or remembered a nightmare so clearly for a long time, but it was really scary, or rather dark), so gentle souls, pls keep away :P.
