This is the first chapter of the sequel of Confused Identity . I'm not sure where it is going at the moment but I supposed you could take this as some sort of preview .

This is probably not going to make a lot of sense if you have never read the first part of the sequel , so to understand it more ; if you haven't read Confused Identity yet , I suggest that you do that ; and of course , don't forget to review that one too . I still check reviews for all my fics , as all of my readers know ; I am review-hungry lunatic . so please feed me ?

Never ever forget to review . Please ? ^_____^

Summary : Everything has changed drastically after Ken's death . Both the Schwarz and teams are unable to function properly and are both currently out of action .

The clouds had grown darker , more menacing with its occasional booms of thunder and lightning tearing through those inky depths . Random droplets of water found their way to the thirsty ground .

He had been wandering aimlessly for a day , walking blindly , allowing himself only to put one foot in front of the other in hopes of reaching a destination that eluded him . Thoughts raced through his head , each angrier than the last . The world seemed to color itself red . The color of his hair , the color of blood ... and worse . the color of angry flames dancing in the dark .

The sun had long since abandoned him with only the angry thunder to keep him company ; but even the thunder will cease and will leave him in silence ...

He was always abandoned by everything good in the world . Abandoned . By everyone and everything . Except the voice in his head .

The voice was of the one whom he loved the most ; the person whom he was willing to sacrifice his life for ; it was the same voice that tormented him continuously .

" Why did you kill me Schuldich ? Why did you kill me ?"

Pale lips moved in response , haunted jade eyes darted nervously at the dark shadows looming around him . " I ... I ... didn't ... kill you Ken ."

" But you did Schuldich . You MURDERED me ! Like you murdered all those innocent people before me ."

" N ... No ... Ken ..."

" LIAR !!! YOU allowed me to DIE ! I DIED because you didn't do anything to SAVE me ! I thought you loved me ... I thought you were different ... You lied to me all along ."

" I do ... I do love you Ken ! I do ! I do ! I do ! I do !" Harsh green eyes mellowed and misted , thin lips trembled . " I'm sorry Ken ... I'm so so sorry ." He moaned . A sigh escaping from an anguished heart .

" That's not ENOUGH !"

His reply came as a whisper , barely audible in the din of forces of nature at work .

" What do you want me to do mein lieb ? What do you want me to do ?"

" Save me Schuldich . Save me please ."

Golden hands reached out from a blinding pool of light . Golden hands he knew so well . Those same fingers that he kissed every night . Those calloused palms he caressed tenderly day after day .

He reached out , towards the light , towards that blessed vision .

Everything was hushed . Even nature wanted to know what was going to happen next ...





















It was too late for him when he heard the deafening noise .

Too late for him to realize where he was , what was happening in his reality ...



Tires squealed in protest as they skidded on the slippery surface of the wet road .

*Thud*

The sound of flesh hitting merciless metal .



He was flung back like a helpless ragdoll , eyes blank , unseeing . Animated jade eyes glazing over into a dull pool of mist . His head lolled to the side , thick fiery tresses darkening with the rain .

The driver of the vehicle quickly jumped out of his car into the drenching , his lips twisted in a large "O" of horror . " Oh my god !"

Booted feet ran towards the prone figure lying on the cold , wet cement .

Curses sprang forth as he caught sight of the blood marring the face of his victim . His fingers clasped in a gesture of prayer , he approached the unconscious man stretched on the ground ; wishing ; hoping against hope that the man was still alive .

Uncertainly , he moved forward , and finally kneeled beside the man . He had no idea what to do ; and the only thought that came into his mind was what his body followed .

He shook the red-haired man slowly , trying to rouse him .

There was no response .

He was dead !

He had just killed a man !

Oh god ! Help me please !

Panicked thoughts raced through his frantic brain . Hands moved forward once more to shake the man to life when a grotesque snarl nearly made the boy jump out of his skin .

The blood-covered face shot forward , sharp teeth snapping dangerously inches from his face ; like a wild animal caught in a snare .

The youth froze , not able to move a muscle , as the previously unmoving man staggered to his feet in an inebriated fashion .

Taking a few steps forward , the injured man progressed into the darkness without a backward glance and disappeared into the twilight as suddenly as he had appeared . Leaving the terrified boy on the road cowering in terror .

No trace of him was left but a few drops of scarlet blood , swirling with clear liquid .
