In My Heart
Prologue

It was raining heavily in the evening. In the middle of the lonely street, a blonde kept running. He ran as fast as he could. His feet were bruised from running. His legs were tired. His body was about to collapse. However, he wasn't going to be captured by them again.

Last time, it was a hell for him when he was found and taken back. He was punished severely and locked away for a week. He had made sure that he would be successful tonight. However, the men who were chasing him did not make the situation any better.

They wore black suits with guns on their hands. They did not fire towards the blonde until one had commanded, "He's getting away! Fire!"

Fortunately, the shots missed him inches away. All the blonde could do is to pray for help, as he kept running through the rain.

"Argh! I hate this weather!" The violet-haired guy groaned as he brushed away his bangs. He stopped, looking to his left. He decided to take a shortcut to his apartment and started walking again. "Why does it have to rain in the times like this? Can't it-" The ringing of his cell-phone cut his rumblings.

"Yea? What is it, Daisuke?" he asked, getting rather frustrated.

"Dark-san, where did you go? I can't contact you just now. Please remember that you have to hand in your scripts first thing in the morning." The said Daisuke's voice was heard from the cell-phone.

"I just went to the bar to have some drinks. And yes I will finish my script… Don't worry Dai-chan! I won't- ahh!" The cell-phone flew off from his hand as a figure bumped onto him and knocked him to the ground, as he turned to a corner.

"Dammit!" He yelled, "Didn't you know how to look in front of-" His voice trailed off as he saw a fragile-looking blonde on top of him. Her eyes were golden in color that matched with her long hair. But something was off. The fear in those eyes did not suit her. Nevertheless, she IS a real beauty! She was wearing a white shirt, which was dirtied, and a pair of white shorts, which seemed to be torn over the years.

"Err…" Dark struggled for something to say before the blonde tried to pull him up from the floor, mumbling something. Now standing, Dark could see that this pretty lady is actually a guy… with flat chest of course.

Just then, the blonde cried out, "Tasukete! Tasukete!" Dark did not get what was going on before he heard loud shouting and gunshots coming nearer. He got the hint. He took the blonde's hand and started to run, for whatever reasons he did not know. He just knew that this pretty guy was going to get hurt if those men got him.

A few gunshots were heard again. "This way!" Dark pushed him to the alley first. He shoved the bamboo sticks lying at the side of the street and caused a ruckus, obstructing the path of those men. Unfortunately, he was a second slower and the bullet cut the side of his left thigh.

Ignoring the pain, he caught up with the blonde as fast as he could with his injured leg. Glancing around, Dark noticed his apartment was near. He called, "Hey! Over here!" He grabbed his hand and made their way to his apartment.

The blonde tried to calm his breathing when they were in the lift. He glanced at their intertwined fingers and felt heat coming up to his face. When they reached the thirteenth floor, the blonde followed him as their fingers still laced together. It was then, he noticed the man was limping slightly. His golden eyes widened slightly.

"A… Ano…" He tried to say something but he realized his breathing was uneven till now. He could not breathe properly. His chest started to tighten and he felt dizzy. He clenched to the fabrics of his shirt.

Dark did not seem to hear him as he continued to walk till he came to a stop in front of the door. Finally, he let go of the pale hand. He searched his pocket for the house key and with a click, the door opened.

Dark pointed to the bathroom and said, "There's the bathroom. You can go-" He turned and saw the blonde collapsed on the floor, unconscious.

"What the…"

TBC…
