Author's Note:
So hello, folks! This is my first ever fanfiction for the Jet Set section, although I have wandered around reading and reviewing. [My previous s/n was Jasmine] I hope you guys like and if anyone has any interest in Zelda or Digimon fics, please check out some of my others.
Also this is a gore horror story with a little smidgen of comedy and romance in the mix. Despite what the title might suggest, this is not a FLUFFY BALL OF MUSH! The title will make sense later on, trust me on this please. There will be a few couplings though [Rhyth/Beat, Corn/Gum], sorry these are my preferences, and if you don't share in my fondness you might want to not read this. Also all titles of my chapters I have decided will come from the titles or lyrics from many of the wonderful songs off the 'Romeo + Juliet' soundtrack just because I was listening to it at the time and love it o so very much.
Love Letters
By Heather [A Whisper]
Intro: Sell My Soul"I would sell my soul
For something pure and true,
Someone like you"
-- "#1 Crush" -- Garbage --
A swollen moon hung iridescent in the pitchless sky that stretched its electric stars out past the cement horizon of Tokyo-to. Buildings pressed out to scratch the deep night, prick into the black until it would finally bleed color. The park was dead at night, the vivid greens turned metallic and blue in the outlines of the moon. A tall man scampered along the grass, his lanky form covered in an overbearing black sweatshirt, his hood pulled up to shadow most of his long narrow face. His skin was pale though, ashen, turning his face into a pallid harvest moon in the dark. Deep sagging circles under his bloodshot eyeballs that sunk into his skull, fell back until they might disappear. His walk was snippy, fidgety; he needed a fix and fast. Drug dealers were known to make the park their nightly hangout, to wait for the addicts to crawl out from whatever sewer or warehouse they were sleeping in like cockroaches spreading their silver wings in the decaying midnight.
God, I need something... So bad. My veins feel thick; my blood's clotting in me. It hurts so bad, the pain in my head. I can't go on without it in me. Life's shit without it.
Finally he saw someone up ahead, past a few benches, and he grinned to himself. The person was in black, a small shadow. It looked like a dealer to him; they wore black and tried to make themselves as undistinguishable as possible. The air was muggy and stifling around him, laced with moisture. He pulled back his hood as he approached and overgrown locks of chestnut clung to his forehead.
"About fucking time, man. I've been waiting..." he called with a laugh. By now he could almost taste the drugs, feel them creeping around under his skin, taking away all the shit he hated about the world.
His smile died on his lips as the person turned around. His stare was eerie; deep stone that appeared almost inhuman, sad and estranged. Shadows and the folds of his robe disguised everything else recognizable. The moon caught against the blade of a knife just in his hand, the edge long and precise. "So have I," he said, his voice low and a growling whisper.
No one heard his screams and the night moved on.

End Note: Ok so short I know but this is just the beginning! I was going to make this part of Chapter One but it didn't look right squished all together. I'm posting this and Chapter One all at once though so you guys don't stone me to death. ::Dodges a shoe:: Or.... shoe me to death? ^-^ Now on to Chapter One, come on you know its calling your name. Hee.
Yea and if you have the 'Romeo + Juliet' soundtrack, pop it in! [If not, go buy it! Ha] This Garbage song ["#1 Crush"] fits this whole story perfectly, but even the sound feels like the mood of this fic. So yea, if you listen to the songs while reading it just adds to it in my opinion.
