Chapter 2- Orange-top the Second
As Kyou finally awoke, He gazed around at an ufamiliar room, being bathed in yellow orange light from the dawn, or was it dusk? He didn't care, for he came to the realization that he had no idea where he was or how he got there. He stood swiftly, trying to think about what to do.
"Okay, just stay calm..."
He tried to comfort himself, but it did not help.
'Okay...Maybe if I sneak out real quietly, I can find a phone and call Shigure and the others...'
He walked as quietly as he could to the door. He slid it open and stepped out the door. His first step outside, he hit a squeaky floorboard. He heard it echo through the house, and stood perfectly still for a minute or so, before he realized he felt lightheaded because he had been holding his breath. He let out a deep sigh, and began his journey back through the house.
'Phone...Phone...Phone...'
He searched every room and every hallway. He almost let out a groan as he discovered a flight of stairs leading down. Then, he saw a light turn on, and heard a stove flame ignite. He also saw a shadow on the floor from the light. He started to head back, but, alas, he hit another squeaky floorboard. The shadow froze. After a few seconds, he saw the shadow resume its movement, obviously thinking the squeak was just the house settling.
'Oh my god, I have to find a way out of here...'
Kyou turned in place to look for window. As he turned, he realized he was being watched by a guy that looked about Shigure's age, with pale white hair. Kyou, being startled, took a step back and slipped on the edge of the stairs. He tumbled down, down, down... He landed on his stomach, and heard footsteps rush towards him. He felt arms turn him over, his head resting in someones lap. He gazed up, seeing a girl with red eyes that matched his, and bright, orange hair...
A/N: Sorry this one's so short! But it was 10:00, my bedtime, and I wanted to put something up so I wouldn't keep my small group of readers waiting. The next one will be longer, I was just having trouble with how Kyou would meet his 'twin.'
R & R, please & thank you!
