Prologue-

Cold, white, and stale; this describes everything and everyone who entered and left the mental hospital. It was meant to send an improper message. We are clean, we are pure, and we are good. It was meant to hide the screams and crashes that ruptured from each patient's room. Those who were tied and bound laughed in hysteria or screamed in agony. Those who could move threw vases, broke windows, or hurled insults at the ones who claimed they where trying to help. All the white was just meant to cover up the invisible black marks that tainted and stained what lay underneath the paint, fabric, and padding.

Some weren't meant to be there, or so they claimed. Some said they where perfectly normal, just like everyone else. Cutter's claimed it that the doctors where blowing things up to unrealistic proportions, people who couldn't live in the present claimed that everything was as it was supposed to be; that all the other people out side where the ones who couldn't live in the present.

One boy knew where he belonged though. He knew why they put him here, why he was tied up, why they spoon fed him. Everyone was afraid of him. They were afraid of his speed and strength. Afraid that after the death of his beloved brother that he would snap and kill everyone that had been there, but hadn't helped.

He couldn't blame them; he had screamed and shouted at everyone who was there. He had threatened to kill them all for their betrayal.

He'd suffered through all their pampering. The young boy knew there was only one way out. So, he acted normal. He acted courteous to his nurses and smiled at them sanely. Lying to them he spilled his guts telling them false happenings about him and his brother. How he mourned the loss and how he was truly sorry for threatening all the people around him, who could not have done anything for him even if they had tried. He pretended to be normal.

It had all paid off too. He was being set free from this monstrous dove hell. Now mind you, he still wasn't sane, just an ample liar and a con artist. Today was the day he was being set free into the real world. All he had to do now was quietly wait in his small glossy white padded room anxiously scratching at his tight thick shell white straightjacket.

A light knock sounded on his door as a nurse in a white dress peeked her head in. "Sir?" she asked in a sweetly southern voice.

The boy turned his coppery eyes towards the dame and answered in a fake sweet voice that had fooled all his nurses for the desperately long several years. "Yes ma'am, I'm here."

She turned her head towards the voice, "Ah yes, forgive me. It's hard to see you when even you're hair is white." She stated apologetically.

Kitamura gave a light chuckle. His hair wasn't really white; it was more of pale silver. It stuck out in slightly odd places, but it wasn't too unruly. "Well at least my tan skin sticks out in this place."

The nurse's eyes held a glimmer of wonder. "Yes, I have been wondering how your skin could stay so dark while being trapped in a place so white."

"Enough about my looks," The dark lad smiled kindly standing up and walking briskly over to the nurse who was still only half way in. "Is there a particular reason you came to see me?"

The nurse just nodded and opening the door wider so he could slip by her. They took a quiet walk down the noisy hallways the nurse not saying a thing until they reached the front of the building.

Stepping behind the tan young man she started to undo the knots and locks that held his jacket in place. "Today is your last day here." She began.

Undoing the last buckle and slipping off the jacket she smiled at him. "Today you are free."

The tan boy stretched his numb limbs. Oh it felt so good to move freely again! He pushed open the doors and saw that the whole world was sheeted in a lush green. It was so awkward seeing a bright color that clashed with his onetime hell after such a long time. He had to admit though it was refreshing to see an actual color and not just the absence of one. The nurse just stood and smiled at him as she watched him take the whole scenery in. Turning towards the nurse he bowed his head to her in thanks.

The nurse just gave a slight nod. "Um…Kitamura…I know it's close to Valentines Day, and I understand that it's really not fair making you spend your first Valentines after getting out of this place alone…so…" The nurse smiled a tiny smile at you younger boy.

The nurse took a deep sigh and looked straight into the boy's shimmering coppery eyes, "Would you like to spend Valentines Day with me and my little brother?"

Suzu should have known that they would have made arrangements to have someone watch him right after he got out. They must have forced the unpleasant task onto this poor girl. He couldn't be rude, not right after they had just set him free, so he accepted with a simple nod.

The nurse's smile never wavered. "Well, I'm Ayumu." She introduced herself, "I'll be getting off in a bit if you're willing to wait."

So, Suzu had plans for the spring. Who knew things would spin so out of control? Especially that it would all crash right down on his head, certainly not him.
