A/N: Prologue Six… what more can be said?

Disclaimers: Aside from many, many prologues, no, none of this belongs to me. Yukiru Sugisaki, Asuka Comics, and all other OCs belong to other people… so… uh… yeah. I don't own anything.

Prologue Six: Zane Kido Anchuu

"What? When? This afternoon?" he scurried about, phone stuck in one ear as he grabbed at his uniform to change. "You know, you could at least give me time to think about it before going insane and getting me another job… yes, I just changed school and what difference does it make?"

"A whole lot!" came the cheerful reply, "But come on, it'll be fine!"

"Nuh-uh, not today, of all days," blonde hair ruffled, Zane was beginning to get a little irked with his employer, who had decided that the best time of day to be calling was right before he had to get to school. Sure, he would still make it in time, but still… "Look, I'll call you back after school if I have time, okay? If not, then don't expect me there."

There was a moment of silence, "We'll send the car around to pick you up, then!"

"…" If he had been within a meter of Keiji Saga at that point and time, he would have punched him as hard as possible. "You're not planning to abduct me, are you? I heard you did it to some person once…"

"Well, he was under an alias, wasn't he? But we still got him," there was a good-natured laugh on the other end, and then a distinct 'thunk' as someone hit him from behind, "Ah well, maybe we can pick him up as well this afternoon! What do you think?" This question was directed to someone else, and there was another 'thunk' sound. Zane winced just slightly; that had to hurt.

"Look," he started, glancing at a clock close by and more or less freaking out, "now isn't the time to be discussing all this. I have to go already and, like I said, I'll call you if I have time. Until then, keep out of my hair!"

Not waiting for a reply, Zane turned the cordless phone off, dumped it on his bed and tidied up the uniform he was wearing. Well, it wasn't as prestigious as the one had for the past few years at that private school, but there was something about it (or him wearing it) that was, well… he couldn't explain it. Being a model had it's advantages in knowing what was good and bad taste, and the Azumano uniform could have been much worse.

"I'm going now!" he called into the hallway, pausing for a second as he received a reply call. Then he bolted out of the house, cursing his luck and wondering if he'd be able to make it in time. Well, considering the fact that Azumano high wasn't that far away, he should be fine…

Hm… it was funny to think that, after many years spending time at a private school; he was changing to something more… public. It was a good place, as he had heard during the interview, but at the same time, kind of… intimating. And it took a lot to actually intimidate him; who was already a pretty good model for Saga Entertainment. But Keiji himself… well, he seriously needed a psychiatrist.

Oh well, that was the way the world seemed to work, and he was willing to give it a chance. Otherwise, why else would he be here?

The building loomed out to him, and cheerful voices carried from one place to another. There were definitely enough happy/content-looking people to reassure him that it was going to be okay. But… well… who knows.

I'll say now that I don't know much about this character myself aside from what I've read on the character's bio. I've probably got it wrong, so whatever. At this point, I'm just going to say that he's a nut.

Angel Born of Darkness: Uhm… to put it simply, they're more like intros… just a whole load of them. Because this story is based on the RP forum, there are quite a lot of OCs in there… and it's my duty to, well, write them all out now (insane, I know)

chrnoskitty: I did what? But Kumori's your character… you know her best, right? XD; Yeah, I've been wondering why you haven't been on lately. I mean, we left you at the pool so… :O Oh yeah, better tell you now that they've got this rule about users who don't log in and participate get their accounts wiped out or something. Thought you better know…

Neko Yonaka: Prologues… that way we avoid the actual chapters XD I have horrible grammar (gets hit over the head) okay, maybe not, but whatever.
