Not My Time – Prologue

'W- Where Am I?'

An eerie atmosphere owned this particular night as the moon cast it's soft glow upon the forest. Tall trees littered the area with barks that had stood tall throughout the ages. Botched shadows littered the ground proving the patterns of leaves as a boy no older than seventeen lay in the centre of a clearing, splayed out on the ground like he'd been tossed there like a lifeless doll.

'A forest...'

His almost silver skin glittered against the glow of the moon as several scratches and bruises marred the soft surface that should be his skin. Blood ran down the left side of his face and merged into his long, splayed-out blood-stained snowy white hair while dulled emerald orbs looked up at the sky.

He wore a uniform that's top half had been long-since lost, leaving his scarred and bloodied chest out in the open, while his legs were clad with torn black jeans. He had knee-high bots on as well, also scuffed up, that had a few straps on them, here and there, as well as large sips on the insides. The outsides were decorated with one big white cross per black boot.

'W- Who am I?'

"Nnng" He moaned out in pain as the boy slowly moved his body to laying on his left side, all the while gripping the sheath of a katana tightly in his left hand. He then rolled completely onto his stomach ("Ng!") before he began to slowly (and painfully) move his limbs in order to be in a position ready to move himself onto all fours. His breathing was laboured from the previous fight he'd suffered as well, making it even harder to do the simple task of getting up.

Emerald eyes opened wide in panic is a large blast began to form in front of a massive humanoid beast in what looked like navy blue armour. A level 3 akuma, it was.

"Duck!!" He yelled out as he pushed himself up, no matter the injuries he'd sustained, and dove in between the blast that was aimed for one of his trusted comrades: a finder he'd grown to like a lot. "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Eyes as wide as saucers, unimaginable pain took over his body as the blast hit him dead in the chest, obliterating the coat of his uniform almost instantly as it burned into his chest. Blood sprayed from his mouth as the blast seemed to melt into his pale skin before it finally vanished, making him fall and cough up some more of the red substance, clutching his inactivated sheath in his left hand.

"Envy!!" He heard that finder yell in worry as he fell to his knees, having lost almost all of his energy in deflecting the blast with his body. It was a good thing, at least, that it didn't contain the akuma poison...

"Please... Run..." He muttered before falling forward and collapsing finally, his eyes blurring in and out of vision as he now began to struggle to even stay conscious, let alone move. He was so out of it he hardly felt a gun aimed at his head; it was the akuma's weapon. This was was probably infected with the poison, too... shame, he was looking forward to returning home and trying to beat General Mantra at a game of chess... How cruel life was.

"Envy!" The finder woman wiled as he felt the akuma laugh. He let out a breathless chuckle as well. 'Foolish girl... why don't you run?' He asked himself as he heard the click of the gun go off and something enter his head at a rapid speed. The last words he heard, even after he was supposed to stop functioning, were very clear, making his body smile, despite it already being dead.

"Goodbye, Exorcist."

'I remember... I'm an exorcist... Envy Culus...'

Blood dripped from his lip as he slowly began to manoeuvre himself up into a kneeling position ("Nnnnnnnng!!"), almost collapsing back to the ground a few times before finally succeeding. With a loud groan of pain, he pushed himself into a sitting position; his legs folded under his bottom as he did this. "Ah- Ah! Ng... Hah-uh hah-uh... ah..."

His head rolled back for him to look up at the moon again and a weak smile fell onto his cold, almost blue lips, before he coughed up some blood again, letting it dribble down his chin as he stay in his position. 'It's almost as if I'm kneeling to 'god'' He thought as he let out a dry laugh, before choking a bit on the blood on his throat, 'How pathetic...'

"Ah!" He inhaled a sharp breath as he keeled himself over so he faced the ground again, his right hand holding him up from completely collapsing as he coughed out a fair bit of blood onto the now maroon-stained soil. The clearing looked familiar, he mused, it was like the one where he'd train back at the order.

Another dry chuckle escaped his throat as he voice the thought that popped to mind when he realised something was very off about his situation. "Hah- Why... aren't I dead... yet? Ng!" He coughed out some more blood before collapsing onto his elbow and breathing heavier than before.

With all the strength he could muster, he forced himself to sit up again, panting heavily ("Nnng-ah!") in the process.

'I should be dead... Hn, is this heaven? No... Hell? No... Limbo? ...Maybe'

Another dry chuckle fell from his throat as he heard some voice in the distance. He didn't care, it was probably someone to truly finish him off. In fact, he hoped it was... he just wanted to end it all, finally.

"Hah-ack! Koh! Koh!" He coughed up some more of the liquid as he gripped the tree by his right and with everything he had, pulled himself into a standing position. He fell against the tree with a 'thud' almost as soon as he stood ("Ng-ah!") before he let loose another coughing fit, barely covering it with his left hand... which still gripped Tenmeisaya in a death grip. The sheath was precious to him, it was the only thing he lived for, anyway.

'No... What am I thinking? I'm still alive... Who saved me? Hn... Who knows...?'

"Hah- Koh! Koh-ack!" He coughed again, before moving to take a step forward: all he managed to do was fall forward and crash against the ground ("NGAH!!") with a heavy 'thud!'. His breathing was now extremely heavy as he felt his vision blurring heavily. In. Out. In. Out.

"Oh my... Lavi!" He heard a medium-toned and very refined voice reach his ears (obviously male) before he finally let out a final conscious breath and blacked out from reality, with one final thought on his mind as he did so:

'It's about time... it ended...'

A/N: Tehe, I finally release another fic after declaring Trapped Soul finished ^.^ Yes, this one has an OC as a main character, so shoot me, but it's highly relevant to the story, since he's gotta be an OC IF IT'S A GUY FROM OVER 100 YEARS IN THE FUTURE! What's better? One canon character in the future with a bunch of OCs or one OC in the past with a bunch of canons? I'd say the latter, yes?

Well this may be a potential yaoi, may not, who knows? Right now it's not though, but that's just a warning incase I decide to pair him with Kanda or something... *sweat drop* Ok, maybe not so much Kanda (as hot as he is, Kanda's just too bitchy), but still... actually who knows? But right now consider this story to be in the action phase, no relationships what-so-ever. I'll warn you in the future if relationships are going to be placed and stuff.

Hm... what else? Oh, I didn't mention the finder-girl's name because she isn't my character ^.^ The 'future' time is based off the time of the RPG site 'Beyond Good and Evil' where Envy is one of the exorcists on there with a level 2 weapon. I also play Alaric Diederich, the Desires of Noah, and Korte Mantra, a very stern female exorcist. ^.^ So contact me on there if yu want to~ All ya gotta do is search '-man RPG' in google and it's on the first page- that's how I found it.

Well, that aside, I hope you enjoy the story~! I'm so happy to have my muse back!
