Disclaimer: the characters in this fic such as Uriko, Kenji, etc. belong to Hudson Soft; I don't own them though I wish I did! waggles eyebrows mysteriously Gee, what I could do to them… eyes glaze over Also, none of the songs that I use throughout this series belong to me, but rather their respective singing groups. Don't sue me!

Dedication: God, my parents, my 'brothers', Hudson for creating Bloody Roar I-IV and giving me a really good reason to write this story, and my readers, especially Nonamura-chan, Alica Tylon, Psycho Guyver, AKA, Cela, Alexandra Riot, RAYClovis, Kanako-Lover, Natasha, Expert Predator, Me (not "me" as in Tiger5913; the reviewer), Alex, im-35, Jinroh, Ramza Lionheart, and all you other wonderful readers!

Pre-Story Author's Note: Hey there! Just another strange, bizarre little fic idea I came up with during the long, extremely tedious bus ride up to San Francisco yesterday to watch that stupid play. This is just an idea of mine regarding how it could be if certain selected Bloody Roar characters were chosen to be in a music video. You'll have to look up the lyrics yourself, though, because we're apparently not allowed to post them here anymore…

"Crawling In The Dark"

By Hoobastank

Screen fades slowly into focus as the melody starts playing. A crescent moon hangs in the sky, and shines down onto the shadowy outline of a figure belong, head down, identity concealed.

The camera shifts to show the bystander in a dark alleyway, surrounded by four other people who appear to be thugs by their ragged and punk clothing. The person in the center looks up, and is revealed to be a young teenage Kenji Ohgami, dressed in his yellow ninja gi and red scarf wrapped around his neck, a malicious glint in his eyes.

The punks all start moving at once, leaping at Kenji to attack him, throwing punches and extending their legs to kick him. He just smirks coldly and moves with liquid ease, picking up one of the thugs and throwing him back over his shoulder, straight into another thug from the gang.

The other two bring out knives, their silver blades glinting in the moonlight, and Kenji beckons them to attack him with a wave of his hand. They rush forward at him, and he morphs all of a sudden, knocking the two into walls.

He releases an animal shriek, and runs toward the downed punks, his claws poised in a wicked position, ready to strike. One of the punks screams in horror as the mole nears him, his claw diving to impale as the screen quickly fades black.

The scene changes to a human Kenji looking down at the four thugs lying still on the floor, bloodily bruised and beaten up. He glances down at the dark red substance staining his hands, and averts his eyes guilty as he starts to walk away from the alley.

A police siren is heard, and the ninja quickly leaps up out of sight just as an officer runs into the alleyway, and waves for his accomplices to join him as they inspect the scene.

Kenji is watching from his location, perched up on a tall building above, and his eyes narrow as he sees a female officer bend over one of the punks, and checks his pulse, then shakes her head at the others, indicating that the person is dead.

With an emotionless expression on his face, Kenji merely turns around and slinks away, disappearing into the shadows of the night, his crimson scarf flowing easily in the wind.

He is seen leaping over the rooftops of several buildings, chest rising and falling as he pants in effort of running, his dark hair flying wildly in the cool night breeze. A brief grimace indicates that he looks pained, but the moment disappears soon and Kenji once again resumes a hard, nonchalant expression.

He descends from a building rooftop down to the ground, and begins to slink through the streets, brushing by other nightwalkers carelessly. A couple of the other bystanders glance at him curiously, but he seems not to notice the attention he receives.

Several times, Kenji bumps into other people, and when they turn to glare at him, he shoots them a cold look and they quickly avert their attentions elsewhere, rushing away from him as quickly as they can. He snickers evilly, and continues on his way.

He slips into another alleyway, and this time his eyes focus on the exit on the other side, where a small white building sits. His eyes briefly flicker with fire dancing in them.
Kenji quickly proceeds toward the building, his hands gripping into fists, hanging by his sides, and his arms quiver as if he is anxious to perform something. His lips are pursed, his body is tensed as he stiffly proceeds forward.

Dark shadows flash in his mind, and lightning strikes, while the sneering face of an estranged man with spiky green hair appears, but Kenji shakes his head and the image vanishes.

All of a sudden, the ninja brushes by a teenage girl with long brown hair tied in a braid, wearing blue and white garbs, and she whirls around to confront him with an indignant look on her face.

Kenji continues walking, his eyes staring straight ahead intently, gazing at the white building, as he ignores the girl. She follows him persistently, calling out things to his back.

Cloaked by the shadows, her lips are barely seen when they crease into a stubborn pout, and she reaches out her hand to grab the other teenage boy's arm. He is unwillingly stopped, and pivots to glare at the young female, flames of ire leaping from his eyes.

She backs away from him when she detects his hidden fury, but Kenji raises his hands in a fighting position, and a cool smirk graces his lips as he murmurs something to invite her to battle.

The two youths fight each other, in a whirl of furious punching and kicking, evading and blocking. A few of the blows land, but none forceful enough to bring down either fighter.

Finally, Kenji stuns the girl by bending on his knees and shooting lightning from his palm, shocking her body and she stops her motion, startled by the jolts. Her mouth falls open and her arms flail helplessly by her sides.

While she is stunned, the ninja strikes at her abdomen, kicks down her legs, and shoves her into a wall several feet back. She falls to the floor after receiving the combo, and Kenji smiles in wicked, arrogant triumph.

He strolls over to where she is laying, and glances down at her limp body with cold indifference. The girl stirs, and opens her eyes, then when she sees him, she yelps and shields her face with her large, white-sleeved arms.

Kenji snarls at her reaction and bends down to grab her arms, yanking her up into a standing position. She shrieks at the fast motion, and off-balanced, falls neatly into his arms, and the top of her head grazes his chin.

The girl backs away, but she finds herself unable to escape his imprisonment, and lifts her head to glare at him defiantly. The two stare into each other's eyes for an eternal moment, master and slave, predator and prey. Their hard expressions eventually begin to soften over time.

Their heads start moving toward one another, and their eyes simultaneously close at the decreasing space. Their lips meet, and Kenji's grip on the girl tightens, splaying her hands on his chest.

All of a sudden, he breaks the contact, and shoves her away from him with a shocked expression on his face. Turning his back on her, the enigmatic ninja throws down a Smoke Bomb, and disappears before her eyes. Left standing alone, the young Uriko Nonomura briefly touches her lips with her own hands, and stares at the white building, the wind whirling her long auburn bangs into her forehead. The screen instantly turns black the same beat that the melody of the song ends.

The End

Author's Note: Ah, and here is another strange idea of mine. 0 Heh, like I said, I got this inspiration while I was riding the bus up to San Francisco, listening to the songs I burned onto my CD, when all of a sudden the pictures started flashing in my mind. This was one of them, but I've got several other song ideas too, and if you readers liked this, then I'll share my others. . Leave me a review and tell me what you think!

With love for my fans,
