YA-HA! What's up guys and gals? I know that it's been a while, but I am definitely NOT discontinuing the story. It's just that school has started and... um... yeah.

Malfoy: You stupid mortal! How come I'm not in the story yet!

Me: Shut up, Malfoy.

Malfoy: Or what? Make me homosexual? I don't care anymore.

Me: Hehe. Don't worry. I have something far more worse. *Pulls the lever*

Malfoy: Where did that come fro- aaahhhhh!

Me: Have fun in the fangirl pit!

fangirl№1: Draaaaaaco! I want youuuuuuuuu!

fangirl№2: Back off bitch, he is mine.

other fangirls: OH NO YOU DON'T!

Malfoy: AAAAAAAH! SOMEBODY! HEEEEEEELP!

Me: *smiles innocently*

Me: So this is actually sort of a filler chapter since it explains more thing about my three evil OC's. But I suggest you read it, it has some important plot material.

So the next chapter will finally be the train station! Where all the others come in! Sorry for keep you guys waiting so long. And before you go, DON'T FORGET TO VOTE FOR THE GODDAMN PAIRINGS SERIOUSLY! And now, Harry do the disclamer:

Harry: SadAngel262 doesn't own Harry Potter or Eyeshield 21. She does however own her OC's.

Me: P.S. This story has Yu-Gi-Oh! Abridged quotes in it! Think you can find them all?

Zakuro closed her eyes and tried to sleep. But her mind just refused to cooperate and kept her awake instead.

And it's all because of that one dream.

((((((((())))))))))

"Mio! D-don't do it! No matter how hard it is, don't give up! You are not alone in this world! P-please, just don't do it!"

"Why the hell are you crying? It's not like your life will end!"

"But-"

"No buts! Just live on! Forget about me. And one last word of advice, pretty boy. Try to not wet your pants so often."

She smirked and let the flames devour her.

"Mio!"

But she was not there anymore. The fire died rather quickly, leaving nothing behind.

The boy dropped on his knees and cried. Soon cloaked figures surrounded him and everything went pitch black.

(((((())))))))

The same dream that she has been seeing every night. If at first she used to forget about it, now it was the only thing that Zakuro kept thinking about. It was so bad that both Akuto and Sai kept shouting at her for daydreaming.

Zakuro sat on her bed and looked at the clock. It was 12 p.m. Her partners were probably still out scanning for any Dark Energy they could use to manipulate Hiruma Yoichi. They made such a big deal out of it after all.

When they first heard of the assignment the trio was given, none agreed. How in earth would they find the next ruler of Hell just by his appearance?

But they knew that there was now escape. It's either do it or die. That was the way of their corporation, after all.

Nobody knew how it came to exist, it just did. It was clear that even the oldest employers didn't know anything about it. Everyone here just got their orders. If they'd accomplish it, they were left alive, maybe even get promoted. But if they'd fail or refuse... Their punishment was death.

Not everyone in that corp got a chance to meet the higher ups, left alone the boss himself. The only ones that were "lucky" to meet him. were those who got 1st class missions. Those missions could be so hard that the employers could die just because they couldn't make it in time. On the other hand, it gave an opportunity to relax without doing anything for a whole month! They were even allowed to visit human cities, as long as they don't create too much mess.

But still, this life was not something Zakuro appreciated. She would rather die than live forever like this. Though no matter how much she tried, it was not possible. The "big boss" was the only one to decide if it was for a person to live or die.

Besides, her life already ended. Once.

She knew that all the people that worked here have either committed suicide or made a sacrifice. They were later resurrected, erased from all of their memory and were given new names and special powers. Some were lucky enough to remember their real name but nothing else.

And this was what Zakuro despised the most.

She wanted to know her real name. She wanted to see her parents, she wanted to live.

It was either that or a dead end.

Sure, the goth girl could easily do something to lose her life, but she would be not the only one to get hurt.

As her partners, Akuto and Sai would also have to pay.

Even though they weren't perfect, even if they sometimes made her cry, if she would be in danger, they will be there to save her.

Zakuro sighed as she remembered their first meeting.

Flashback

Zakuro looked at the window. From here, what they called "human cities" looked like heaven to her.

It was her second day after the resurrection. Or rather, the second day of her new life.

Even if she's spend a little time in here, she already noticed how different things were than they were by the humans.

Here, everything seemed gloomier and less colorful, while the human world had that freedom, that brightness and light. A light that she knew she would never reach.

What was the same is that how everyone behaved in here. There were bullies, outsiders, kind and evil, hopeful and miserable. And that was the only thing that these two worlds had in common.

"Zakuro!"

She heard the district chief call out to her. That means the sorting will begin shortly.

Sorting was a ceremony where all the newbies got separated into groups, well that's what she heard from the others on her first day. That probably would be true.

When Zakuro and the others took their place in the formation, the district chief began to read his speech in a nonstop monotone.

"All new recruits, we welcome you to your first day as an official employe of this company. First thing's first, leave all your hopes of escaping right here. Get rid of your emotions, they only represent your weakness. Don't try to organize an upbring against us, or you'll be punished by death or something far more worse that that."

"What could be possibly worse than death?" The girl thought.

"You must do all of the work you're assigned to and never, ever complain. It's best when you don't think at all. This is harsh reality. We've got no place for individuals in here. Do you understand?"

As every new recruit yells "Yessir!" Zakuro only moves her lips. She does understand, but she does not agree.

"Now, let the sorting begin!" He finished and disappeared, like he wasn't even there to begin with.

The sorting was finished very fast. Zakuro an the others wore tags with name on it and just waited for somebody to pick them up.

"Zakuro?"

The girl in question turned to see two tall guys looking at her.

"Y-yes, that's me."

"Come with us."

As the trio moved through the crowd, she noticed two men staring at her.

Deciding to brush it off, Zakuro just followed her new partners.

Later that day

"Alright, brat. This is your room." Said Akuto as he showed her her new home.

It was relatively small, just a simple bed, an empty drawer and a desk with a computer on it. The place looked dirty and unused. The white wall paint was starting to crumble and there was a small hole in the ceiling. Yeah, it was not the best place to live in. Especially for someone like her.

The goth girl stared at the room in pure disgust. Even if she was almost like a slave now, that doesn't mean that she has lost her pride and dignity.

"You expect me to live in... this!?"

Zakuro's yell was left unnoticed.

"You have one more hour before the lights are out. You can use the computer but only to see if there's any information from our boss." Said Sai coldly.

"Don't just go ignoring me like that!? Answer me!"

"You're annoying. Just shut up and do as we say." replied Akuto. He was starting to loose his temper with her.

"And what if I don't, idiot?"

"That's. Fucking. It. WHO THE HELL ARE YOU CALLING AN IDIOT, YOU SHORT BITCH!?"

"WHO DO YOU THINK, ASSHOLE?"

"YOU..."

"WHAT'S WRONG? GO SUCK ON YOUR MAMA'S MILK AND CRY LIKE A BABY SHOULD DO!"

"COMING FROM SOMEONE WHO IS STILL IN THE GODDAMN WOMB!"

Upon arguing, they didn't even notice how Sai left the room, mumbling about some "bunch of bloody fools".

When the arguing pair realized it was already lights out, Akuto just left the room without saying a single word.

The next day

Zakuro sat alone at the table, waiting for something, or rather someone to happen.

The gloomy mood got her almost immediately. It wasn't like she wanted to start a conversation, it's just that no one else really did.

The girl wasn't even sure if there were any people with personalities anymore. Yesterday, everything just seemed so... cheerful. Of course the gloomy feeling was already there but it wasn't that strong. People talked, argued, laughed, showed some emotions.

And now, it seemed like they were all wiped out of it, having no goal in life anymore. And would you even call this "life"?

Zakuro was too lost in her thoughts to see two grown-up men approach her.

"Why hello there."

Zakuro was about to shot out an angry reply, when she looked at their faces.

Those were the same thugs from yesterday.

"Want to play with us?"

She didn't even have time to shout when she felt a strange cloth cover her face.

"Damn it!" Was the last thing that came to her mind before she found herself falling into the bottomless pit of blackout.

"Ugh... where am I?"

Zakuro found herself tied to a chair, both her arms and legs. A tape was also covering her mouth preventing her from speaking.

The room she was in wasn't much better of her own. Except that there was a strange poster on the wall.

As she started to panic, two figures entered the room.

"Heh, she's fine. Even more than the last one. And look, she's too scared to struggle!" Said the first man.

"Shall we begin?" Continued the second one.

As they approached her, Zakuro became even more and scared.

They were about to unbind her legs when the door busted open.

She couldn't believe who was it.

Akuto and Sai stood at the entrance.

"Damn it, Zakuro. You made us come all the way here."

"W-who are you?" Stared the two men in shock.

"There's no need for introductions. Let's skip straight to the business." Replied Sai.

"Why you..."The men started to get angry and charged at the two teenagers, completely forgetting about Zakuro.

As the first man threw a punch at Sai, he dodged it and tackled the man to the ground, landing a hit on his face shortly. The first rapist now lay unconscious.

Seeing that the second one now attacked Akuto, aiming at his gut, only to be stopped by Akuto's hand. He twisted it and kicked the now crouching man in his gut three times. He was not unconscious, but he was in too much pain to stand up.

"Did they do anything to you ?" Asked Akuto, looking slightly concerned.

"Aside from tying me up, no."

"OK. Then you're fine."

"Hey! At least untie me!"

"Oh sorry I forgot."

"FORGOT, MY ASS!"

"Hey, maybe you're fine like this."

"Quit joking and just untie me already!"

Some time later

When they finally got to their cabins, Zakuro finally asked Akuto about one thing that was bothering her.

"Hey Aku, why did you save me?"

He looked at her with a serious expression.

"You're our partner after all. We must at least not treat each other like crap. And besides, I want to be different from the others. I want to save my emotions. I can't stand having a poker face like Sai all the time."

Zakuro chuckled at that. Sai really was a walking poker face.

She smiled and went into her room saying " 'Night Aku" just before closing the door.

(((((())))))))

She smiled at the thought. Those were the first and probably the best days she would ever have.

As she was repeating those days in her mind over and over again, she almost didn't notice the sound of a closing door and a too familiar voice.

"Man, that guy was just awesome! We should go exploring much more often!"

"You do realize that it's because of you that we didn't collect any useful information or Dark Matter."

"But come on! That comedian really was the best one I've ever seen in the human world!"

"Akuto, we must obey the rules. We are not allowed to entertain ourselfs while on missions."

"Screw the rules, I'm a mad scientist!"

A loud sigh was heard. "Are you drunk?"

"Bitch I might be!"

"Oh bollocks."

She couldn't hear the rest of the conversation as they each darted to their sleeping places.

Deciding that it was already late, Zakuro closed her eyes and easily went to sleep.

Just on a side note, sorry for the whole SOPA fiasco a while ago.

Oh and from the next chapter on, there will be an omake!

P.S. R&R and vote for pairings! I need it, people!
