Twisting Destinies
Prologue
By: Zanzou Youko
Warnings: Erm.... eventual yaoi, AU, creative interpretation of the manga...... oh! and eventual spoilers of some parts of the manga.
A/N: ^^;; Okay, the prologue has no plot. But chapter one is written and being edited, so more stuff will happen then. Depending on when it's done, probably at most a week till the next part.... so..... merf. And special thanks to Lissa! (just because she needs the huggling) and to Lys (who convinced me that this fic doesn't suck as much I as I seem to think it does....)!
I blame this on listening to various .Hack songs for hours on end. It's ALWAYS the music's fault.....¬¬.¬¬

::Tsuziki Asato::
Tsuzuki dragged his eyes away from his wrists, looking up to where he assumed the voice was coming from. There was nothing there. Dismissing it as a symptom of his deteriorating sanity, he returned his gaze to where the blood SHOULD have been flowing.....but had stopped...
::Tsuzuki Asato. You are being offered a choice.::
He raised his eyes once more, starring into space. While he could still see nothing, the brown haired man could FEEL where the presence was. Tilting his head to the side, he smiled. Though it was completely empty, it was better than he had managed in the previous months.
"Am I dead?"
The presence seemed to shift, almost relieved that he was responding. ::You are, Tsuzuki-san. Those who are not could not be offered this.::
Tsuzuki looked directly at where he now KNEW, in a part of himself that he had never had access to before he died, that the presence was hovering. "If I''m dead, why aren''t I in hell?"
The presence paused. ::Because you have done nothing to warrant such punishment. Due to your... unique situation, you are being given a choice that few receive.::
Tsuzuki smiled once again. "And if I refuse both of the terms?"
The presence grew cold. ::That is not an option. You WILL concede to one of the terms.::
The amethyst eyed man did not smile this time. "That''s not a choice at all, is it?"
The presence frowned. ::Most would even be granted this. Be grateful, human.::
A smile, now. "So what are my choices?"
::You may decide one of two Fates. Do you wish to become a Shinigami, and keep balance in the World, or do you choose to die and be Jugded? If you choose to become a Shinigami, you will be help--::
"I will be killing people."
The presence paused. ::What makes you say that?::
Amethyst eyed narrowed. "The name. Shinigami. ''Gods of Death''. You don''t get that name by giving people flowers."
A pause. ::You will be keeping the balance. Everyone has a specific time to die. If a person somehow escapes their fate, if does not mean that they cheated death. They merely delayed it until their files are processed.::
"So I WOULD be killing people."
::....Yes.::
"Then I choose to be judged. I''ve caused enough death already.::
The presence deflated. ::You have chosen.::
And their was darkness.
Tsuzuki Asato awoke with a start.
