1 Alone in the darkness

I hope you liked the prologue . It was the best I could do with a couple of hours so I'm not really sure if you guys would like it . Where were we ? O yeah ! The scene with Yohji .



Ken's room was dark .

Just three days before , he had bought some heavy curtains from a shop downtown and installed it in his room . Thin beams of gold sunlight peeked from the occasional crevices whenever the curtains billowed .

" Goddamn it !" Yohji's voice was thickly laced with panic as kneeled down beside an unconscious Ken . He proceeded to grab his shades and fling them onto the floor as he started to pick Ken up . Out of the blue , Aya shoved him away

" Damn it Kudo ! You're not even sure what injury he has , you might aggravate it !" Aya kneeled down and examined Ken's blood-caked clothes .

Ken was still in his assassin attire , in ripped jeans and shirt . His torn jacket was half off on the other arm and he was still wearing his boots . His gloves were strewn carelessly on the floor .

It looked like he was too exhausted last night to do anything else but sleep, but why did he look like he was mauled by a wild animal ? Omi shivered . He abhorred the sight of an injured Ken and he fervently hoped he never had to see any of them in that same state again .

" Was he injured in last night's mission ?!" Aya asked darkly . Omi and Yohji shook their head . Carefully he started to rip apart Ken's shirt , searching for any telltale signs of wounds but his skin remained unmarred . " Are you sure ?" He pressed further .

" I'm positive ." Omi replied . " I was his backup . I followed his every move . Everything went according to plan ." Omi said with conviction , holding Ken's limp hand in his . " Aya-kun , we should bring him to the hospital ." He stared pleadingly at their leader , hoping that the older man will consider the thought .

Aya stopped , his attention caught by the violent , motion of the drapes . " The balcony doors are open ." He said quietly . " Someone's been here ."

Yohji stood and started for the balcony but Aya gripped his wrist as he stood up . " Let's worry about that later , get your car ready – we're going to the hospital ."

Omi sighed in relief . He had thought that Aya would be stubborn and refuse to bring Ken to the hospital , especially since there were no marks , but it seemed Aya had decided otherwise .

With a nod , Yohji dashed off to retrieve his car .

" Omi , close the shop . We'll wait for you in Yohji's car ." Aya's voice was as calm as ever - he was starting to scare Omi . Omi clutched Ken's glove in his right hand as he scurried downstairs . He hoped to god that nothing was wrong with Ken-kun …

Aya hefted Ken up in his arms and cautiously made his way downstairs . Ken was light . Incredibly so ; and Aya had no trouble carrying him to Yohji's blue sports car where the blond man waited . Carefully , he laid Ken on the backseat and took a seat on the passenger side .

It wasn't long before Omi arrived and they sped off towards the direction of the Magicbus Hospital .
