Spoilers for names. Warnings: Character death, Yaoi, violence and things that may be triggering for some. Remembrance day special! No Death note. Many went to war with Matt, Mello and Near among them but as expected from a war not all made it home. Now some of the ones that survived are now helping a remembrance day ceremony but will the memories be too much? Rated T for safety.

1. Chapter 1

Prologue:

The sounds of explosions and gun fires ring through the air loudly mixing with the cries of pain.

Bodies everywhere littering the ground…. Dead…. Or…. Wounded.

Shouts of orders begin joining the mix of sounds ringing in the air.

I am breathing heavily as I take cover behind a mostly destroyed wall. I glance to each side of me trying to decide what to do. I know I can't just stay here and I must fight! I just need a moment to think what I need to do to help. I notice someone, I know is on our side but I wish was on our enemies side, hide behind a pretty much dead bush. I look away and decide to move and so I begin moving in the opposite direction of the other.

Besides I'm sure that he's got it covered.

I peer around the edge of the wall getting ready to go when I have to hide again as machine gun shots sound. I close my eyes as my heart pounds in fear, hope and adrenaline from being here. I begin moving towards the edge again this time hoping to strike down an enemy.

"Retreat!" The commanding officer shouts.

I clench my teeth and turn to go but I can't help to glance to my other side.

The person on our side is trying to move back but is badly hurt.

I may not like him, as he is one of the ones I don't really like, but he's on our side and I'd get nightmares of guilt if I ignored it. I head over to him and help him up by getting one arm around my shoulders as well as my own arm around his waist. "Come on." I say as we begin hurrying away as fast as we can heading for the ships, the ones left, that we came in.

There is still sounds of gun shots and explosions but they become distant sounds that are no longer ringing loudly in my ears as I focus on getting us out of here.

I spare a glance to him as he does his best to be brave and strong as we try to hurry to safety with things that could kill us going all around us. I look back to our destination with a determined look. "I will get you out of here!" I say mostly to myself.

Then suddenly there is beeping sounds and I clench my teeth as my eyes slightly widen.

Crap! Is that a mine!?
