---DISCLAIMER: Although how much I plead, my parents won't buy me the rights to the WISH books (the nerve of parents! ), so I don't own any of the characters (but I wish...), blah blah and they're property of CLAMP, but the story is me! All me! Evil cackle---

:::CHAPTER ONE:::

CALLING

"There there, Kouryuu, it'll be fine," whispered a wide-eyed humanoid Ruri, her hair spilling all over his chest as she held him.

Kouryuu adjusted his scarf, now soaked with black, tighter around his hand, wincing through gritted teeth. "Just go help that dimwitted bubblehead twin of a sister of yours find Kokuyou."

Hari ran as fast as she could, using her feline nose to scent where the Kudou residence lay.

(Which way, which way!!! Ooh, Kouryuu, what have you done to yourself?) She whined.

She recalled what had happened just seconds before she was out here baring the blustering winds to save her master, with his deep, blood-red eyes, and feathery, radiant black waves of hair cascading down to the bottom of his slender neck. She had only been combing her hair and her sister's identical black locks, when a shout had sounded coming from their master's chambers. They had both sprinted to his locked door, calling his name frantically, pleading him to open the door, with the deep red walls on either side of them seemed to laugh and snicker at their uselessness against his needs. The golden rugs sparkled in cruel delight. Everything had seemed to have been against them. Fate, destiny, and hope.

But, then again, she thought, why should they be on a devil's side?

---How's the first chapter? A bit short, I know, but everything will become longer after practice, since I haven't been on this site and/or creating stories for some time (a year!)

I hope it intrigued someone, at least. But you kinda have to have read the books to understand it, but maybe you don't. I dunno.---
