AN: don't know where this story came form really. I think I will continue this. I really like it a lot. This is just the introduction chapter, so it's a little short, but I promise all the chapters won't be this short.

Chapter 1

Title: Belle Tragedie

The wind blew the light powder of snow across the road. On this road was one man. Walking alone. To where? He didn't know. Why? He didn't have anywhere to go. All the man did know was that he needed to leave. Leave the past of his behind. He needed to walk away from it so badly. He wanted to just look straight ahead, and never have to look back. But, his past had a harsh grip on him. No matter how far he ran, the past always caught up to him.

The lone figure that walked the desolate road wrapped his jean jacket around his body. He tried to pull as much warmth out of the thin material as possible. He couldn't afford anything warm. Other then a small pair of gloves and a hat. At least he would have relatively warm hands and he hopefully wouldn't catch a terribly bad cold if he wore the hat.

The man had finally reached a small town. Once there he found a place to sit down. He chose a stoop of one of the nice looking apartment buildings. Luckily for him, this stoop had been cleared of snow, so he didn't have to worry about his butt being all wet.

"Great."

The man mumbled to himself when he saw a person approaching him.

"Hello?"

The shy voice called out to him.

"Sir?"

There again. The other man spoke to the stranger that was sitting on the stoop to his apartment building.

"Yeah, what ya want?"

The man replied gruffly.

"Well…I would like to know what you are doing out here on such a cold night. And if you wouldn't mind me asking, what's your name?"

The man gave a small smile hoping to get a reply.

"Dee. Dee Laytner's my name. I plan on leaving soon, so you don't need to worry about me being here much longer."

"Well it's nice to meet you Dee. My names Randy McClean, but most people call me Ryo. Why don't you come inside? I'm sure it's much warmer then being out here."

Dee thought about this for a second. This person…there was just something about him that was making Dee want to tear down all of his walls and trust him with his life. This man was making Dee think thoughts and have feelings that he hadn't felt in a long time.

"I…I don't think I can."

Ryo's smile faded a little.

"Please Dee. It's freezing out here, and I can maybe make you some food, and something warm to drink. Please?"

Dee thought for a second. Of course he could just stay for now, then be on his way, and a hot meal did sound really good right now.

"Alright."

Dee replied. He saw Ryo's smile return.

"Good. Then follow me and well see what I can do."
