Okay. Sorry for such a long wait for the update. I've been writing and rewritting the next chapter. But as it is I have very few reviews and I'm very sad. I feel quite unloved. So here's how it goes. This is a teaser. No it's not suppose to make enough sense for you to figure out the rest of the story, but it does give you a marker so that you can get a glimpse at what's going to happen. I do hope you like it. I also hope you review. So that I can put up the next chapter that is awaiting its presentation. (All review begging is reserved for the end of the chapter.)

Disclaimer: Yami no Matsuei does not belong to me. Until I find a way to reverse rolls in the universe it will not belong to me. Don't sue. I'll plead insanity. Just so you know.

I would like to thank all of my previous reviewers. Including Dref, who is my newest reviewer. If you're reading this, keep reading, it gets better! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for your review! Once again, if you could fill me in on a few things that I'm missing from the storyline I'd be much obliged. Thanks again!

With all that said, please enjoy!

Frozen Chances

Teaser 1

Never Sleep, Never Die

Catch me as I fall
Say you're here and it's all over now
Speaking to the atmosphere
No one's here and I fall into myself
This truth drives me into madness
I know I can stop the pain if I will it all away...if I will it all away

Don't turn away
(don't give in to the pain)
Don't try to hide
(though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes
(God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the light
(never sleep never die)

I'm frightened by what I see
But somehow I know that there's much more to come
Immobilized by my fear
And soon to be blinded by tears
I can stop the pain if I will it all away...

If I will it all away

Don't turn away
(don't give in to the pain)
Don't try to hide
(though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes
(God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the light
(never sleep never die)

Fallen angels at my feet
Whispered voices at my ear
Death before my eyes
Lying next to me I fear
She beckons me shall I give in
Upon my end shall I begin
Forsaking all I've fallen for I rise to meet the end

Don't turn away
(don't give in to the pain)
Don't try to hide
(though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes (God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the light
(never sleep never die)
(3x)

Whisper by Evanescence

It's not that he couldn't sleep, merely that he wouldn't. He liked to stay up late at night, even when he wasn't working. He always knew there was a reason for this but in the morning he always forgot. But right now it is nowhere near morning and somehow he drifted to sleep. He was here in hell, praying to be set free.

He wasn't sure why he was praying, here, surrounded by fire as he was. It was obvious that he missed his chance to be saved. But his childish hope was all that kept him going.

As he strengthened his resolve he stood noticing the hospital gown that hung just above his ankles. He walked past the burning debris and to a case that seemed to be calling to him. The case was upright and had a glass door. It looked like a pod of some sort. He smiled at his reflection in the glass. He looked no older then twelve and quite beautiful too. Like a doll…a doll?! It was odd though. He knew he should be older but he wasn't sure. He couldn't remember, although he could. Odd. Still, it didn't matter. He was twelve now. And that was that.

He pressed closer to the glass to see if it was see through. He knew that it was, because he knew whatever was inside was something he needed to see. Yet, he didn't know how he knew. Inside he saw everything he loved, and he hated, everything he was obsessed with. But he never wanted to see him again. He was truly the bane and the epitome of his existence. He stepped back, nearly tripping over the burning part of the ceiling that had just fallen into his path. He looked around for a way out before he woke.

Instead he found that there were others. Others he couldn't remember. The only thing he could remember was their eyes. Nothing but their eyes. Green eyes, brown eyes, the most beautiful of beautiful eyes…violet eyes. All of them held hurt, hatred, and contempt. He was the one who hurt them…didn't he. But what did he do to hurt them? Who were they? He couldn't remember. Everything began to swirl, mixing and converging to create a world of chaos. In between all of this he saw her. He was sure this was his mother. The way she watched him with dull uncaring eyes…wait, that wasn't his mother at all, his mother was kind… wasn't she? Why was he getting his life mixed up? And with who? Everything was together, too close together.

Nothing was clear anymore…

"Muraki! Muraki-san!"

…Everything was blurred…

As much as he liked the boy, he liked his research much better…

As a slap resounded through the room two pairs of eyes were riveted to each other.

…And it was frozen that way.

T.B.C.

I really am beggin' for your reviews. I hope to get at least three more reviews (constructive or otherwise…) by my next update (most likely I'll update faster that way!) Thanks for reading, and I hope you tune in for the next exciting chapter of FROZEN CHANCES!

*Clears throat* Yeah…uh, see ya…
