Author's Notes: This is a very special chapter, I'm introducing new characters into the storyline and the format is a little bit different, than the rest of the chapters.

TigerEyes: I'm glad you like it. I hope you'll like this one, too.

Trenay: Thanks! I'm glad you like my writing style. Anyway, you don't need to apologize for that review on my suspense fic. I wasn't offended. I just thought of it as a guess. BTW, thanks for reviewing!

The Angel Of Mercy: Hi, your character will make an appearance in this chapter. Thanks for emailing me, with the great character ideas. I like them a lot. I had to change stuff, for the two character's storylines. I hope you like it.

Joey/Mai fan15: When are you going to put up a new chapter for 'Our Past, Our Future'?! Please update it soon. Anyone reading this, should read 'Our Past, Our Future'!! It's great.

Up And Gone

* Staring at the white above, Can't tell if I'm alive or dead. Or is it my head?

Where did I go wrong? Staring at the white above, 

One day, I closed my eyes and here I am, a cold unhappy man. I've come to realize the life I have, I hate.

The pulse I need is slowly fading…..

Until, I've lost it all*

- Up and Gone, Hoobastank.

Kisho slumped to the ground. Another vision attacked his mind.

I walked through the forest. Looking for something. The midnight darkness was lightened up, with something far ahead. I looked at the path ahead. I reached the end of the path, after walking a while. I was about to turn away, and walk back, when I saw something. I saw a monster-like beast standing there. A demon. The demon was fighting someone,  and was surrounded by flames coming from the ground. The person, the demon was fighting was a girl.

The monster threw her motionless body to the ground. It was Yuki; The girl was Yuki. It must have been a demon. Yes, it was a demon. I watched as the demon, shed a stream of fire on her body, coming from a red beam. The demon bent over and reached for something. It picked up a silver chain with small emerald hanging from a silvery piece, which resembled a dragon. The demon, then, turned around. To see me. Now, I had to fight.

" Are you okay?" Yuki's voice took his thoughts back, into reality and out of wherever they were.

" Yeah. I'm fine." Kisho replied and forced a smile. He focussed his eyes on a silver chain, which loosely hung around her neck. 

Yuki noticed that Kisho's eyes were fixated on her necklace. " My father gave me this. Every leader of the Dragon clan, get's this necklace and passes it down to their firstborn child. I'm from three different clans, The Hayabusa Clan, the Dragon Clan and the Hajinmon clan. But now, they are all one clan."

" Oh." Kisho replied. 

" I have to go, now." Yuki said, and made her way to the door. " Bye."

Kisho stared at the grey building. He had discreetly left the hotel, and was at the DOATEC Headquarters. He looked at the grey building, which was shattered in darkness. He looked for a way in. He studied the glass windows, with his eyes, knowing that if he were to break one of them, they would set of an alarm and the Tokyo police would be here as quick, as lightening. He looked at the door. He pulled out his pocket knife and started to poke at the door knob, which loosely fell to the ground. He slipped it into his pocket, along with his knife. He didn't leave any clues, after himself which was a smart move. Very smart. He entered the building. He looked at the dark halls. The linoleum floor tiles, lead to many different rooms. He entered the first room, to the right. He pressed a small button, which made the room light up. He saw a table, in the back of the room. A computer, which's appearance, made it look advanced, rested on the table's counter. There was a large bureau, which had many files. It was open.

Kisho walked towards the office chair, infront of the computer. He opened it, and a small box appeared.

Password? Let's see…. I looked around. Searching for a code. There was a serial number plastered at the back of the door; 0913 1208 0503 0811 0521. What could that mean?

I took files out of the bureau. I noticed each one had a code.

I wanted to know what these codes were for, I opened some files. No clues, at all.  

Kisho started to read all the files he had put infront of him. Two files were missing.

Kisho clicked a small button, on the computer, after reading all the profiles.

Password clue: Codes of all the planned future victims to our projects?

Kisho read, the clue again. And type the codes, in. Kisho read, and continued to hack into it. He heard something. But then again, his mind liked playing tricks on him. He heard it again. Someone must have been there. Kisho closed the computer and put the file back, in their places. He closed the door, and walked into the hall. There were many doors. He walked.

Author's Notes: I used an asian way of addressing people. In Japanese, Korean, Chinese and many other asian countries, the family name comes first…. Example: Helena Douglas would be Douglas Helena, when her full name would be addressed. R/R!
