Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters or the settings. So don't hate me if they don't out the way you wanted them to.

Note: This is M rated and will have future Yaoi so be WARNED and do say I didn't warn you. I'll put this warning on every chapter just to be sure it gets through all those thick skulls out there. Thank you for reading.

CHAPTER 1.

He stared numbly ahead, his sense dulled to every thing around him. His life was slowly flowing out of him with each beat of his heart, the blood pooling in a crimson puddle around his limp form, and for what? A stupid mistake?

He'd been too careless; let his guard slip, thinking he could take his opponent on with one arm turned behind his back. Sweet Gaia, he'd been so fucking stupid. He'd known for years, hell since he first joined Shinra and the Turks that this would happen one day. One slip up, one mistake and it was all over.

He gave a shaky laugh at his own stupidity and winced as his side gave a painful throb. He leaned his head back against the ruined brick wall he had conveniently fallen against. He felt drops of dirty water falling on his face and body and figured it must be raining on the upper plate.

It was kind of ironic though, that he grew up in the slums and now he was going to die here, just like every other slum dweller. He thought he had gotten passed that fate, but it still seemed to catch up with him no matter where he went.

He reached his free hand up and brushed crimson locks from out of his face. He looked at his hand; it was coated in his own blood, making the few patches of pale skin to stand out in contrast. Figured his hair was the same shade of red as his blood.

He gave a small sigh and continued to stare up into the murky gloom of the lower plate. At least he was taken the other guy with him. That put a smile on his face, but it soon faded. He could feel his strength draining and it took to much effort to smile for any period of time. It took too much effort to do anything, his head laying on his shoulder to conserve whatever amount of strength he had left.

His vision was fading slowly, growing dark at the edges. His eyelids felt like they weighed a ton, he just wanted to slip into sleep and the darkness of oblivion. He was too weak to even be shocked when a pair of black leather pants and boots entered his field of vision. He did try to look up to see whom it was that had come to watch him die. It took some effort, but he shifted his head enough to look at the person face.

His vision was slightly blurred and he couldn't make out any features, but he could see bright green pools where their eyes should be and a halo of silver hair that surrounded the pale face. He even noticed two others behind the first and wondered if this was some hallucination. If the blood loss had finally gotten to him and was showing him some sort of angel that was going to take all the pain away.

He heard them talk, but it was like he was under water and it took a moment for the words to reach is detached mind. "Pick him up Loz, we'll take him back with us." His mind couldn't process this and he just stared blankly up at the one who had spoken. The blood was rushing in his ears as his vision started to black out completely. The last thing he saw was a large looming shadow bending down towards him as black wings of unconsciousness engulfed his mind.

…I actually have no idea where this came from. It just seemed to pop into my head the other night as I lay awake. I couldn't get to sleep and for some reason I was contemplating…well death, I guess. I don't really know why, it was just some random thing running through my head while I tried to think up new story plots and how to continue my other stories.

I've been reading a lot of RenoxKadaj stories lately, and I've become addicted to them, so now I'm torn between my love for RenoxRude and RenoxKadaj. It's driving me insane and it feels like I won't ever be able to chose. Any ways, this was kind of short, but the next ones shall be longer, maybe. I'll get the next chapter up…when ever I get to it. Schools getting ready to start back up in a few weeks, so I'm more focused on that at the moment than my stories, though I do plan on continuing them.

Please don't hate me for doing this while I've got other stories to finish, I'm a procrastinator and I can't help it when I get another story running through my head and I just have to get it down before I loose it. I swear to update my other stories within the next two week, cross my heart. Thank you for reading my lovely stories and don't forget to review if you want to.
