Author's note: Wow, I got reviews! And no flames!? Thankies so much! Well,
Nagi's got flames to play with, anyway. I'm honestly sick of seeing flame
reviews on Kitsune Hanyou's fanfic. She is an amazing writer, and her
fanfic Iron Bars do Not a Prison Make and Return For Me are two of my
current favorites. So go read her stuff, and be amazed. Don't flame; it's
pointless. She's got a lot of talent and she deserves to be complimented on
it, not uselessly ranted against. As you can see she doesn't like flames,
so for those of us who LIKE what she's writing, shut up. If you don't like
something you don't read it, simple as that. Okay, rant over...for now.
Meilin: They will. That's what causes a lot of the angst; if I'd see ya more outside of between classes I'd let ya read what I've got! ^^
Jaques: Yes, it does. And Suki'll actually be a large part of the story, but don't hate her just 'cause she's an original character. Give her a chance and I think you'll like what I'm writing here. ^^ And about Schwartz, just read this chapter and the beginning of the fourth! ^^
Kitsune Hanyou: *GLOMP!* Thank you sooo much for reading! Glad you like! ^^ I hope "interesting"'s a good thing.^^;
Bishiglomper: GARLIC CHEESE! HAAAAI! ^^ Hehe, thanks for reviewing! XD
Syl: THANKIES! *huggle* Wow, I'm glad you think I've written Nagi's personality well enough, I hope so! ^^; Cows....yey! ^^

-Flying on Broken Wings- ::Chapter 2 - Running From Reality::
Suki's breath came short, ragged. Unsure of where she was going, she forced herself on. "Nagi..!" The word was choked out; desperately she wanted to see him..why, she didn't know. It was as though she didn't know *anything*, anymore - not even who she was trying to escape from. Frantic bits of panic pushed through her in a futile attempt to make her go on. A sharp pain alerted her attention to her side, where her hand rested. She lifted it. Blood? Why was she bleeding so badly? So many questions, answers eluding her comprehension. A figure approached from somewhere in the blurry street. Some sort of bladed weapon glinted in the tall man's hand. Pain and fear overcame the girl; all she could do was back to the wall as he gave a deft slash.
Sapphire eyes snapped open. So it had been a dream....typical, her dreams had been no more than nightmares for the past few years, anyway. Something she couldn't place tugged at the edges of her attention as she blinked twilight's sinking rays from her eyes. Forcing it from her thoughts, she allowed herself to rest in the empty silence's comfort. The dream still disturbed her, but not as much as the recurring feeling that something was missing. An image of a boy's face came with shocking clarity to her mind, and she immediately realized what it was. Nagi was gone.
Nagi hadn't wanted to leave Suki, but he had had no choice. Schwartz would know that he was gone by now, and they would kill her if they knew about her. She had done nothing to deserve that.
"Naoe." Nagi turned at the Irishman's voice. "Not very smart of you to stay so close. Then again, lost puppies never stray far from home, now do they?" He grinned sadistically, slashing his arm with a thin-bladed dagger.
"What do you want, Berserker? Out looking for something to kill? Or is this Schwartz's way of looking for me?"
"Neither. Though I could take care of the problem right now without argument from Oracle and Mastermind, I'm sure." Farfarello began running his hand along the cool metal of the blade, staining it with fresh crimson. Finally stopping when his palm was reminiscent of shredded paper. "Oh, but I won't do that. I've got much bigger plans for *you*, boy. That little girl you were with should make a nice toy...."
Nagi narrowed his eyes, lifting his hand and throwing Farfarello into the wall beside him. "Leave her out of this," he said icily. "She has nothing to do with Schwartz."
Farfarello laughed, insanity shining in his good eye. "Prodigy's got a weakness, hm? I see. I think I'm going to enjoy this. And you're wrong - she became a part of this when you decided to help her." Grinning mockingly, the assassin picked up his dagger and ran.
Nagi cursed under his breath. He hadn't wanted her to be caught in assassin's war. She wasn't a heartless murderer! She wasn't like them; she still had her humanity!
It sickened him to think about what Berserker might be planning. He doubted that he'd followed them all the way to the place they had rested, but he had to get to Suki as soon as possible. He had to warn her, make her leave.
He couldn't let Farfarello hurt her.
He had to find her.
Something hit him from behind; he felt pain.....
And then blackness.
