Chapter 1: Easier to Run
He was going to pass out soon.
His chest searing with pain, Yami's breaths came out harshly as he continued to run across the cobbled streets of London.
He wanted to rest, to find refuge from the light rain and the thickening fog but knew that he couldn't. No matter how much his body was protesting against the continuous pain and stress he knew he couldn't stop. Not until he was sure he lost them.
He clutched his briefcase closer to his chest as he rounded a corner, finally seeing the street turn into the dirt road of the countryside. Yami pushed his body to run a little faster, to hold out a little longer, until he was what he determined a safe distance from the city. Only then did he slow to a stop and turned to look back.
Panting heavily, he couldn't discern in the fog that he was being followed and that alone was enough to make him relax, albeit slightly.
So I lost them, Yami thought. It didn't matter much now; they knew he was here so it would be senseless for him to stay in the country. He was going to find some other solace for the time being.
They were getting better at tracking him; so much so that he couldn't stay in one place for more than two weeks now, which usually was his limit for a stay before he moved on. But not only were they getting better at finding him, they were also getting stronger. Yami didn't know how long he could keep this up. He was practically running himself into the ground now.
He sighed, running his fingers through soaked hair as he began to walk away. He was just going to have to change his patterns since it was becoming so easy for the bastards. It was time to head somewhere he hadn't been before. He just needed to hold out a little longer.
Pulling his drenched coat tighter around himself, he set out once again to find a different hideaway.

NEXT TIME ON RUNAWAY: CHAPTER 2: Coming Closer
He whirled around to find where the source of the light was coming from and whatever question he planned on asking died in his throat as his blood suddenly ran cold.
"So nice to see you again, Yami. It's been too long."
Now does that have you curious or what? *evil laughter* See you soon!
