Prologue
Kai sighed as he lent back in his chair. It was the end of a particularly hard exam: physics. Kai wasn't worried.
It was a nice day outside, amazingly so, considering that it was winter in Russia. Kai had come back to his home country 8 months ago with the Bladebreakers. They all attended the same school: Hiwatari Collage. Yes, Voltaire had started a school. It might seem like a nice, charitable way to repay the public, but really it just part of another scheme to take over the world.
An announcement crackled over the loud speaker. This was unusual as the speakers were turned off during exams. Somebody had purposely connected them, which was serious. Everyone froze to listen.
"There is shh no reason to shh panic… Remain in your classrooms shh and could the teachers please shh lock the doors. All shh students in the corridors shh should either find shelter or somewhere shh to hide. Shh Thank shh you."
There was silence as everyone tried to understand what the static ridden message had been about. The teacher stood up and locked the door, before turning towards her class.
"Alright, it seems we have an emergency. Nobody panic and everything will be-"
But the students never found out what everything would be as the sudden sound of a gunshot filled and echoed in the air. Several people screamed, both in and out of the classroom. But Kai was not one of them. He grabbed the knife he always kept hidden and quickly exited the room, using lock picks to open the door and then lock it behind him.
To many Kai's actions would seem outrages and stupid, but Kai knew he could do this. Voltaire and Boris had upped Kai's training in the hope of turning him into the perfect killer. They had done this, in a backward sort of way.
Turning a corner Kai saw the bodies of two dead students. He didn't know either of but he did know the other student who was standing over them holding s gun. It was Bryan.
The funeral bell resounded throughout the church. The whole school had turned out to mourn the death of the student's death. Millions of people everywhere paused as they remember one of the greatest bladers of all time.
Standing between Mr. Dickinson and Tyson, Rei Kon clenched his fists in anger, ashamed that he couldn't shed a tear for his lost friend and lover. Kai Hiwatari. Nobody else knew about their relationship. Or to face facts, had known. Kai was gone. Bryan had shot him, although not before Kai had thrown the knife. Four students had died on that day. Two victims, a killer and a hero. Even Voltaire had cried.
Chapter 1
Rei's hands shook as he raised the knife. It had been 2 months, 3 weeks, 1 day, 5 hours, 23 minutes and 56 seconds since kai had died. But who was counting?
Rei sighed. He had been kidding himself. He couldn't live like this, counting the time. So he follow his lover to the other world and beyond.
The door handle rattled. Rei pushed the knife under the flesh of his wrist then jerked it up. He did the same to the other wrist. The door opened and Tyson burst into the room. He froze at the sight of Rei lying still, surrounded by rapidly spreading pools of blood.
"What the- oh my- holy sh- in the name of—Rei!"
Tyson rushed forward and scooped his friend up, cradling Rei's head against his shoulder as he died. Rei gave Tyson a small, almost apologetic smile.
"I'm sorry, Ty. I just couldn't live without him." Tyson nodded slowly, tears falling down his face.
"I know Rei. But we all miss him, why did you have to-" He stopped as Rei reached up and grabbed Tyson's shirt.
"Ty…Kai and I were…we were-aha…"
"Rei! Rei, speak to me!'
"Lovers…I loved him…"
Tyson sat still. He stared at Rei as the injured boy's eyes glazed over.
"Oh my god."
Tyson looked up to see Max standing in the door way, leaning on the frame for support.
"Oh my god." Repeated Max before toppling over in a dead faint.
Everything was black. The sun could be seen several light years away. Stars blinked innocently. Planets circled moons and moons circled planets, depending which universe you peeked into. A huge shadow appeared to flood over the galaxy. Balls of bright gas ran for cover as the heavens parted.
Rei blinked slowly, looking at the huge figure bending over him.
Is this God? Rei thought to himself.
A small smile appeared on the figures face as they began to laugh. Rei felt the sky shake.
"You, mortal, are in limbo," boomed a voice that was neither male of female. "Much like the one you seek. I shall help you find him."
Rei bowed his head meekly in thanks. The person or god chuckled again.
"You are much politer then your lover. Ahhh, here you are. Ahem. You must fine the phoenix's rising."
With those words a huge vortex appeared and dragged Rei into it's center.
