Chapter 2: Nightmares

"Shun-chan! Over here!"

"Mamoru…" The boy opened his eyes. Darkness coursed through everything around him, forming grotesque shapes and shadows. "Where are you?"

"Shun-chan!"

"Kuso…Quit hiding! You're freaking me out!" Shun yelled through the pitch-black surroundings.

"Korose…"

"Nani?" Shun quickly turned around, briefly catching the sight of two glimmering red eyes. "What was that?"

A shrill scream filled Shun's ears, causing his heart to jump. "Mamoru!" He ran through the delusional ghosts of the world, tears cascading over his eyes.

"Korose…"

"There it is again!" Shun felt as if a knife had been driven through his heart. "Mamoru-chan…I'll save you!"

-----------------------------------------------

A hellish presence lingered in the trail that Shun had taken through the void. "Find your way back…Find your way back to me…"

-----------------------------------------------

Shun fell to his knees. "Mamoru-chan!"

The situation seemed hopeless. Mamoru had disappeared without a trace.

"Mamoru-chan…gomen…" Shun closed his eyes and cried.

"Shun-chan! Tasukete yo!" Mamoru's voice echoed in his head.

"I'm such a baka!" Shun punched the blank ground. "I couldn't save you!"

"Korose…"

Shun looked up, golden feathers falling in front of him. "Korose?"

"Korose…"

"Who are you? What do you want?" Shun shouted.

"H…ik…ari..." The voice softened. "Korose…"

"What the hell are you?" Shun felt a heated blade stab him through the chest.

"Korose…"

"Mamoru-chan…no…" Shun fell to the floor, his blood staining the foul-smelling ground.

"Hikari o korose…" The voice vanished. "Come back to me…I'm waiting for you…"

-----------------------------------------------

Shun nearly screamed, throwing the wet towel at the wall and almost tearing the bed sheets in panic. "Mamoru-chan!"

He brushed aside his disheveled hair, coughing as his vision cleared. The boy's arms ached, and his head flamed with intense pain.

"Mamoru-chan…" Shun opened his mouth to shout, but fell back against the pillow when he found that he couldn't speak.
