The Visitor

Recap: Once they got back to his room, someone was standing by the door. He turned his head and Rath gasped.

The figure had blond hair, and smiled as they approached. "Hello Rath." He said.

Story:

Rath breathing slowed for a moment, and then he relaxed. After all, it was only his other partner.

"Well, aren't you going to say hi?" He said.

"Hello, Rune." Rath replied. Rune frowned.

"Still on about that? You've got to grow up, man." The water Dragon Knight replied.

"What, are you talking about?" Rath asked.

"Um, I'll leave you two for the moment. I'm needed somewhere." Lykouleon said, bringing attention to himself for the first time since Rune spoke. They watched him turn the corner, and then went back to their conversation.

"I'm taking about our old nicknames. All that was in the past." Rune told him. Rath still wasn't making sense of all of this.

"What on Dusis are you talking about?!" Rath was becoming frustrated.

"I'm talking about the old gang!" Rune yelled. Rath froze. A gang? He never knew anything about a gang.

"What, gang?" Rath asked.

Rune hesitated before saying, "The gang you were in before you came here."

Rath was still clueless; Rune sighed.

"Well, I guess the collision with the Kainaldians was that bad."

"Huh?"

"The Kanal- never mind."

"No, what are you talking about?!"

Rune sighed. "Do you at least know how you lost your memory?"

"Well, Cesia said—"

"Cesia?"

Rath ignored his question and continued. "She said that I got knocked out by some thieves or something, because I saw them robbing some store or whatever." Rath really didn't believe that was the truth, but he was going along with it because he was curious about the "gang".

"Wrong." Rune spoke once Rath was finished. "Well, at least the robbing part."

"What?" Rath was so clueless.

Rune sighed in a frustrated tone. "Fine, I'll tell you the whole bit, but if you forget something, I won't be repeating it." One thing was for sure: This was not the normal Rune.

"Right, first of all things, Rune is not my real name."

"What is it?" Rath asked, and soon regretted he did.

"Do NOT interrupt me!" Rune yelled. It would surely draw attention by someone. Surely...

"Anyway, we're in a gang called the 'Dusasians' and, like all gangs, we have a rival one."

"The Kainaldians." Rath put two and two together.

"Exactly."

"So then, what?"

"Well, the chick that you like— what's her name— Caroline, yeah, well she told a lie to the cops so that—"

"What's going on here?" A familiar voice called.

Rath groaned, and turned. Bierrez was coming up to him. Rune swore, and then made to leave but it was too late.

"And what would the notorious gang leader Rune be doing in a mental ward? Come to see his former boss, I presume?"

What? Rath thought.

"I was just leaving."

"No, I'll leave. Oh, now what was you're street name again? Oh yes, it was Rath wasn't it?" He smiled maliciously.

How did he know that? Did Cesia tell him? He wondered.

"Piss off B." Rune warned.

Bierrez pushed past Rune, then stopped and turned around. "Oh, by the way, I will call the authorities on you if you don't leave now." He smiled, and then walked away.

"God, I hate that guy." Rune said.

"You too?"

"Well, I gotta get outta here. As far as I know, he really will try to send me to jail."

"Wait, how does he know you? And my name?" Rath asked.

Rune sighed, "I can't tell ya that."

Rath started to protest, but knew it wasn't worth it.

"Oh yeah, and my real name's Ryan, Ryan Varlou." He turned on his heal and walked away. That was the last time Rath ever saw him.

Aloha.

DC: eh?

Me: Aloha, it's Hawaiian for "hello" and "goodbye".

DC: Huh.

Bierrez: WHY YOU...?!!!

Me: Yes...

Bierrez: Am I gonna be the bad guy throughout the ENTIRE fic?!

Me: ... I can't answer that.

Bierrez: WHY?!!!

Me: Well one, there are readers...reading... and I don't want them to know.

Bierrez: Why?

Me: Because more to your character is going to be shown over time.

Bierrez: ...

Me: -

Bierrez: Whatever.

Rath: Anyway, keep reading, 'cuz there'll be a new character (or two, haven't decided yet) more of the current character's pasts shown, and lots of me. Me, me, me!

Me: Uhh, okay, anyway, review please! And if you have any input, I'd love to hear it!!!
