***well here my second chapter... hope this is better than the last one***

Yuki had fallen asleep beside the rain stained window. She woke up when the early rays of the sun reached her closed eyes shining through her golden strands of hair. Half expecting him to be beside her she looked around. The front door was still locked. No one had entered, not even him. Gravely disappointed she sighed as she looked outside, another day of waiting endlessly for him. "I hope I see him today" she murmured as she got up gathering her unruly hair. Her hopes were hopeless she knew but just knowing he was alive would suffice her for now. After the most routine things she went out to the park and sat down. If she herself could not be happy she could at least watch the happiness of others. Watching the children… it reminded her of past times.

***Yuki at five years old he is six; she is playing with him out in the park. He grabs her ribbon and runs away teasing her as he climbs a tree. He knows she is afraid of heights. Yuki runs after him playfully but seeing him climb the tree she somewhat frowns. He is still teasing her…" yuki –Chan come and take it? Don't you want it?" of course she wants it it's her favorite. Resolutely she starts climbing the tree even though she knows if she goes any higher she will fall. As she aims to step on a slightly taller branch her hands slip and she falls…. ***

"I thought I'd find you here" James said. Yuki nodded without looking up, she didn't need to she knew it was him.

"What is it James?" she replied. She wasn't very interested, unless it was news about him.

"Bad news… he's dead" he said not beating around the bush. He sat down so as to face the immobile yuki. She looked down not wanting him to see her tearful eyes. "I'm sorry" he said and started walking away when yuki caught his sleeves.

"James-san … please tell me, the name of the person." She said trying to control her shaky voice. Her reason to live was now only to avenge her brother's death.

"Yuki… it's best not to get involved in this. Now that it's over you can lead a normal life." He said shaking off her grip on his sleeves.

"Normal life?" she repeated slowly. She let out a small ironic laugh.

"Yes don't get involved yuki it's for your best" he said looking at the young girl… whose life this vain mission had destroyed.

Yuki looked up with an expression James had never seen her use. "I am involved in this! "She said in a low menacing tone. "It's taken away everything from me. What makes you think I can even breathe without thinking of this for the rest of my life?"

Zero looked up to the malevolent overwhelmingly big structure of Cross academy through his deep purple eyes. It was foreboding but then he was always attracted to such challenging, unnatural happenings. Cross academy was a supposedly elite "School" for the extremely rich and powerful people. However there was much more to it than that. It was this "much more" which had attracted Zero.

"A transfer student, that's what I am supposed to be?" he asked half annoyed half amused. It was strange this idea of going to a high school when he already had a diploma… though he was only 17 years old." It's a shame" he said putting down a file and turning around. "You know how I hate all this 'information collecting' thing" he continued.

"You are going through with this Zero!" he said, his voice full of authority. "Don't make me remind you..." he was saying when zero interrupted him "remind me what? That I work for a shitty organization? , That it can't even handle a rogue hunter?" He stood up banging his desk and just before he left he turned around to say "I will go to cross academy not because of your 'mission' but for my… " he caught himself before saying anymore and left with a murmur of "unfinished business."

the next chapter coming real soon. love you all 3 3
