Genre: Suspense/Horror
Rating: T (will go up to M soon.)
Main Characters: Atsuki, Liu Yee, Nami, Toma, that little kid that looks like Atsuki (can't remember his name)
a/n: preemptive STRIKE!
this one will probably deviate slightly from the main plotline insofar that i'm going to manipulate the characters into... well. you'll see.
it will probably be largely focused on Atsuki's perspective...
that's all i'm saying for now.
enjoy!

All right, Atsuki, he remembers hearing Ray tell him, it's time.
But what if I-- His own small voice, full of doubt and not yet cold or hard, chimed in uncertainly.
I trust you.
Atsuki sat straight up in bed, clutching the right side of his face, his nails digging so deeply into his skin that they were drawing blood. After a moment or two he realized that it was his hand causing him such pain and withdrew it slowly. He gazed at it, detatched, frowning down upon his own hand as if it disappointed him. "Trust, huh?" he mused aloud. Is that what I'm missing?
His cell phone vibrates suddenly in his pants pocket, still on from last night. He jumps and flips it open, holding the phone with the bloody hand as he gets up and starts to gather the pieces of his school uniform with the other.
"Good morning, Atsuki," comes Nola's coice from the speaker. "We have the results back on that Silent you retrieved from Miss Yayoi..."

a/n: this is probably going to develop into something fairly large. i'll probably post a bit like this every morning or so. however, starting next week i have finals until nearly the end of may, so it may be slightly sporadic.
i'll do my best!
