Chi: Hey, 'member me? Well maybe not, maybe you haven't read my other fics cause I posted them all at about the same time. Anyways if you have read my other fics, thanks, and I'm warning you now. This is not going to resemble the others in any ways, for the most part. There will be no terrible three-some, Jaheira, Chi, and Hotaru, in this one. This one is strictly Legal Drug and other Clamp creations. Oh well, be sure to tell me if you like the change or not.
Prologue:
"Oh man, I'm late!" A young man charged out of the movie theatre and down the street to where he knew the drug store lay.
"Hold it right there." A hand came over his mouth as a strong arm pulled him into a back alley. "Where do you think you're going?" His gang of kidnappers laughed at him. "Remember us?" His eyes grew wide. "That's what I thought." The kidnapper holding him smiled as he was gagged and cuffed. "You're going to pay for what your friend did to us." He kneed the man in the stomach causing him to double over. "Take him to the mansion." The gang dragged the man off.
"Here you are prissy."
One of the men threw him onto the old mansion's floor. The man looked around at the old rotting house in which he lay. He jumped at the sight of a charcoaled body lying next to him. The woman groaned as one of the men picked at her.
"Leave her alone!" The man yelled as one of his kidnappers removed his gag and cuffs. The gang leader laughed.
"Don't you like her?" He kicked the dying woman's body. "She's that woman your friend was looking for."
The man's eyes widened. "Tsukiko?" She looked up at him wearily. "What do you want with her?" The man asked desperately. "What do you want with me?"
The gang leader grabbed a fistful of the man's hair and jerked his head up. "We thought that since we went to all this trouble to find her for you that you would be grateful and do us a favor. That and we have a score to settle with you and your friend, or don't you remember?" The man squirmed nervously as a switch blade was pulled. "Of course since she is battered up and dying the best thing to do would just hand over the body, afterall all your friend said was that he wanted to find her. He never specified how or when let alone if she was alive or dead." The kidnapper smiled. "I'll just put her out of her misery."
"No." The man rocketed himself sideways protecting the woman from the knife that landed in his chest. The gang members laughed as he quickly began to lose consciousness. "Ri…kuo…"
Somewhere downtown Rikuo was locked in a bar fight. He grabbed his chest in pain.
"That stab of mine bothering you?" His attacker smirked.
"Hardly," Rikuo grimaced ignoring the stab wound in his shoulder, "my heart feels like it's being ripped out…" he whispered.
"Hey look," one of the bar members pointed out the window, "the old mansion's on fire."
Rikuo jerked his eyes to the sight. Kazahaya's words echoed inside his head.
"I've always wanted to visit the mansion, to see what's inside."
"Why?" Rikuo asked. "It's only a broken down building."
"If you don't care then I'll just go alone, one of these nights I'll just go."
Wait, Kazahaya, you wouldn't have, would you? "We'll finish this later." Rikuo barged out into the street.
"Hey!"
The man screamed out in pain as the gasoline touched his open wounds. "Heh, heh, say your prayers girly man." The leader lit a match igniting the house and floor. They left their two hostage's in their dire state.
The man looked down at the woman he tried to protect. "I'm sorry." His leg caught fire. "I'm sorry I couldn't save you."
The mansion's doors burst open. "Kazahaya?"
"Rikuo?" The man looked up almost completely engulfed in flames. "I'm sorry," he smiled.
"Kazahaya!"
Kakai sat up straight with a sudden jerk. "Bad dream again?" Saiga asked from his usual position on the couch.
Kakai nodded. "I'm afraid it's getting worse." He rubbed his head rearranging the papers on his desk where he had fallen asleep. "Something terrible is going to happen, something terrible for them two, and sometime soon."
End of Prologue
Chi: So what did you think? Yes, even though my character isn't in this I will go by my name. Don't worry, I have chapter 1 done, it's just stuck on my laptop so I have to decode it before switching it over to my pc. It'll take me a day or two.
