AN: Hello, my first fic and all that jazz. Prolly won't update very quickly though. Damn that evil hellhole… that's school, by the way.
It's just a short thing right now, but the other chapters'll be longer! Promise! This is just the prologue anyway, though, so yeah. Enjoy. :) Hope I'm not as bad of a writer as I think I am.
Disclaimer: If I said I owned it, would you believe me? No? Well then, it obviously isn't mine.
.:Prologue:.
"Hey, brother…? "
"Yeah, Amane? What is it?"
"What's that thing around your neck? Is it a birthday present? It looks funny! Can I touch it?"
Ryou sighed and turned to his younger sister, who stood in her oh-so-innocent way, playing with her hair and tilting her head to one side – something she always did when she wanted something.
"I'm sorry, Amane, didn't I tell you about it? Dad got it for me on his last trip to Egypt! Isn't it cool? Here!" He passed her the necklace, and gazed at it fondly in his sister's hands.
"Oh, wow! Is it gold? I want it! I'mma gonna ask daddy to get me one next time! —Oh… oh -AH!" Dropping it like a hot potato, she took a step back and observed the ring carefully, then she looked down at her hands and whimpered in surprise at the inflamed skin.
"Amane! Are you alright? What happened?" Ryou hurriedly jumped to his sister's side and checked her over to see if she had been harmed. "Did you spike yourself?"
"N-no… I-it… it burnt me!" She began to sob hysterically onto her brother's shoulder, who quickly pulled away to examine her hands, which had indeed, been burnt – pretty badly too.
"Um… you… you need water! Quick! Into the bathroom, that should help!" He ran the cold tap and pulled her little hands underneath, while she moaned something about it hurting. Not that he was listening; he was too busy trying to stop her wriggling away.
"You need to keep them under there! It'll help! …No!"
They never noticed the faint glow coming from the bedroom.
.:Okay, it's the end of the chapter now, you can stop laughing at me:.
AN: Make me happy; give me reviews! They encourage me to update quicker… or not, of course. But tell me if it's alright just the same. ;)
