Misanagi, Who should I pair Quatre up with cause if its gonna be Yaoi (which I was already planning) Should there be other pairs too? I was thing 3x4 4x3... Sorry if I am bugging you with all these questions but you're the only one who read and left a review. I am still trying to figure everything out so if you get annoyed you can tell me to stop.

Chapter three: Another's presence

Trembling, Quatre slowly dropped to his knees, tears welled up in his eyes, but he refused to let them fall. His arm limp at his side, the other clutching his shirt tightly right upon his heart feeling the pain this man had gone through. It hurt so bad, but Quatre knew it wouldn't last forever. He'd have to stay strong. (A/N: corny I know)…

Quatre knew what just happened was bad, not just because he just killed the guy, (even if he deserved it), but because he knew what he had almost became and that was far from good.

Elsewhere, the hiding figure that both Quatre and the thug were unaware of had a startled and shocked look upon her face. The being looked up at her fellow teenager she was going to help when the boy suddenly kicked out and lodged a perfectly aimed knife into the throat of his attacker. Squinting to get a closer look at the blonde haired boy she and noticed his eyes.

They were black. It wasn't just the pupil or color of the eye that were black; it was the whole thing. At closer examination she saw tears were now running down the boys pale face making the water glimmer in the moonlight.

Unexpectedly the snow that was still descending picked up speed, swirling around him and gently sweeping his tears away before they hit the ground. An image flashed before this unknown woman's eyes as she saw a bloody halo along with blood-spattered wings attached themselves to the crying boy.

Shaking her head quickly the image vanished. 'What was that' she thought, clearly disturbed. Shivering she tried to clear her thoughts. Directing her attention back to the boy, it seemed now as if the snow was making a shield over the guy, but as quickly as it came the wind vanished leaving the falling snow to continue its journey to earth Leaving the girl staring in perplexed wonder.

'He looks like a fallen angel' thought the lady in wonder as she watched as the younger boy wept for the man he killed. Slowly she watched as the boy's eyes turned back into their teal color again. Letting a sigh escape her, she cautiously stepped into the moonlight, revealing herself.

As soon as Quatre was aware of someone else's presence he visibly tensed. Not knowing the intention of this person he saw slowly creeping out behind the alley's dumpster, he darted his eyes to the dead creep to the newly discovered approacher. Trying to find the motive of this possible danger he relaxed as he saw a girl a no older than him.

Skimming through her emotions as best as he could he came to a conclusion that she was not a threat. Noticing her looks he took in her appearance.

Her hair was black and her eyes blue. Her hair came slightly in front of one eye in an awkward hairstyle. A hat rested atop her head, which he guessed to be one of those Paris hats (A/N: does any one know what those are called?). She was wearing a blue sweater and black pants and a scarf around her neck. She slowly advanced toward him.

Quatre would have tried to run but he was to exhausted. She took a couple more steps toward him and he scooted back even farther. Not because he was afraid, but he couldn't trust anyone anymore, especially himself.

"I'm not going to hurt you, my name is Hilde, " She spoke soothingly to Quatre, while stretching out her hand. Timidly Quatre took hold of her hand and was lifted off the ground. Still a little shocked Quatre looked down at the lifeless body. "My name is Quatre, I-I didn't mean to kill him," he said in a hushed whisper, darting his eyes back and forth nervously.

This came as a surprise to the Hilde and she didn't know what to say. But before Hilde could do anything they were interrupted by a shout. "Hilde!" a boy with a long chestnut braid said as he ran down into the wide alley. Soon after three other boys came jogging into the alleyway.

They came to an erupt stop when they realized she wasn't alone but instead with and a blonde haired boy. They stood there with confused expressions gazing apprehensively at Quatre.

Quatre looked at the three unusual teenagers behind the boy with the braid. One had brown hair covering emerald colored eyes, wearing black pants with a black sweater. His gaze seemed to bore into Quatre's as he stared at him. Blushing lightly Quatre quickly darted his attention to the others, feeling the emeralds eyes still upon him.

The other boy had messy dark brown hair with Persian blue eyes strangely wearing spandex shorts and a green shirt, 'odd'. The last one was defiantly that of Chinese origin and had black hair and eyes; wearing white pants and a shirt that had a dragon design on the left breast.

Their gazes were fixed at Quatre, seemingly trying to find something within his appearance and it was making Quatre fidget under the stern looks.

"Uh, did I miss something here" the braided boy asked still looking at Quatre. Quatre was at a lost for words but fortunately Hilde answered. Soon the boy's gazes were directed to her. Forgetting about the mysterious blonde.

"Well um, Duo, Heero, Wufie, Trowa, I came down here and-" She was cut off when she heard a yelp from her side. She looked over and saw the blonde boy she had just met struggling in the hold of a wild looking man. A very evil looking man.
