oOo

"Wha-What is this?" Before her was a long and shadowy stair case leading down into the darker depths of the mansion, though unlike the rest of the mansion this stair case seemed much more dark and dreary. Mayu looked down the stairs, deciding on whether or not she should go down. Finally coming to a decision, she slowly but surely made her way down the stairs. She made it to the bottom and looked ahead of her, it was dark but there was a little bit of light so she could still see.

"What's up with this place? I knew basements could be a bit scary but this……………………….this is just…………." Mayu stopped talking to herself when she heard a noise up ahead. Looking in front of her she couldn't see anything there but the further she went in the louder the noise got. "Is someone there?" She called out; hoping for a response but none came. Only the sound she kept hearing over and over, growing louder with each step she took. The noise was one that she couldn't quite place, it sounded like something was hitting the wall but she couldn't tell what it was.

When it sounded as though the noise was just a few feet ahead of her she noticed a door in front of her. It was different from the other doors in the mansion because it was made completely out of metal, with a small barred window on the upper half of it. 'Another door? But why is it so different from the others? It almost looks like a prison door…………..'

Mayu could hear the noise coming from the other side and thought that someone could be in there, so to see if she was right she called out. "Hello? Is there anyone in there?" She waited for a moment before she heard the noise stop and a voice speak up. "Who's there?" It was a low but not a very deep voice, she could easily tell that it was a boy speaking. "I'm Mayu Matsuo, who are you?" It took a bit longer before the boy spoke again. "Serio, Serio Kurayami" Mayu was shocked to hear that his name was Kurayami, she was told that the Kurayami's didn't have any children or any other living relatives for that matter. "Kurayami? Does that mean you're related to Mr. and Mrs. Kurayami?" For a moment she thought she heard a growl coming from the boy, but then a second later everything went silent. "Yes, I am their son"

"Their son?! But then why was I told they didn't have any kids?! And why are you down here!?" By this time Mayu was beyond confused not to mention angry, why would they say they didn't have any kids but only to have one locked up down here?! "It's because…………………………..….they are scared of me. And also ashamed………………………………….that I am their son"

That was it, Mayu could feel something snap inside her, an unknown rage began burning within her. "How could they do that?! Keeping you down here and saying such lies!!!" The young girl could feel her anger boiling, seething inside of her. "They don't want anyone to know. Because if people did know, they too would be scared of me" Mayu clenched her fist until her knuckles turned white. "Why would anyone be scared of you?! You're just a kid like me!!" Suddenly a low chuckle came from beyond the metal door, surprising her. "Like you…………………………I could only wish. I am nothing like you. And if you saw me………………………..could see what I can do. Then you would be scared of me too…………………………………You should just leave now, go back to your happy family and leave me be………………"

Mayu could take no more, she raised her clenched fist and slammed it into the door. Ignoring the pain she now felt shooting through her, she shouted at him with more fury then she thought herself possible. "SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!! DON'T YOU TALK AS IF YOU KNOW ME!!!!! YOU DON'T KNOW THE FIRST THING ABOUT ME!!!!! SO HOW WOULD YOU KNOW HOW I WOULD REACT TO YOU!?!?! AND WHO THE HELL CARES WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE OR WHAT YOU CAN DO!?!?!! IT DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT YOU'RE STILL JUST A KID LIKE ME!!!!!!! SO DON'T THINK YOU CAN BOSS ME AROUND CAUSE I'M NOT LEAVING!!!!!!!!!" Mayu panted hard, trying to take deep breaths to calm herself down.

There was, what seemed like, an eternity of silence before Serio's voice spoke out. "Very well then, I'll let you see for yourself. But I can not come out, so you must come in" Mayu nodded her head in understanding even though she knew he couldn't see. "By the door, there should be a pair of keys hanging on the wall. You can use that to unlock the door and come in" Mayu looked around at the walls beside her, and sure enough there was a hook with a key hanging off it. She took the keys off the hook and unlocked the door, pushing it open and walking inside.

The room she walked into was dark, the only light coming from a small window fixed high from the ground, which was barred just like the door. To the left side of the room, leaning against the stone wall, was a young boy looking no older then Mayu herself. She slowly walked over to him until she was only a few feet in front of him. Neither one of them spoke, only looked at each other. Studying the new being before them.

Mayu's POV

'So this is Serio…………………………….' I thought to myself, as I studied his appearance before me. I glanced my eyes over his most notable features, as he did the same to me.

His straight pitch-black raven hair looked naturally slick and hung over his face like a veil. Suck dark crimson colored eyes, reminded me of a rich red wine. His skin was quite pale, almost looking white in appearance in the right light. And the build of his body was slim, but not so much so that it looked unhealthy.

'He looks fine to me. So why would he say all those things about himself? And why would Mr. and Mrs. Kurayami keep him a secret?'

Serio's POV

I looked at the girl standing before me. 'What did she say her name was? Ah yes, Mayu Matsuo……………….' This Mayu girl who had so boldly, and maybe a little foolishly, made her way here and now stood before me. She looking at me as I looked at her, tracing her appearance with my eyes.

Straight dark brown hair, looking almost black in color, reached to her shoulders. Her dark chocolate brown eyes shined in the light, making it seem as though there was a bit of hazelnut in them. Her skin was fair with a light tan, showing that she spent some of her time outdoors. And her form was small but healthy looking for someone her age.

'Either this girl is a fool or she does not know what I am capable of. I guess if she doesn't know………………………………..it would be best to show her' A small, almost invisible grin appeared on his face at the thought of the girl screaming in terror at his power.

End of POVs (A/N Shiro: I just noticed this but the way I described their eyes make them sound edible! XD)

"Do you…….." Serio's voice cut through the silence that had surrounded them, causing Mayu to snap out of her thoughts. "Want to know why my parents lied and locked me in here?" Mayu gave him a confused look for a second but eventually nodded a yes. For a split second she thought she saw a devilish smirk form on his lips, but it soon disappeared as though it never there.

Serio raised his hand, in it was a baseball which he had been throwing against the wall earlier. Mayu stared at it, then at Serio's face, then back to the ball, wondering what this had to do with it. Suddenly she saw an eerie black mist coming out of his hand, slowly surrounding the ball. As the mist completely consumed the ball it turned from its usual white to jet black. Mayu eyes went wide as she saw the black orb slowly scatter away like ashes in the wind, leaving nothing but a black dust in his hand.

"You see now. This is my power, with merely a touch I can turn objects to dust and……………………………" Mayu froze when she felt his hand brush against her cheek, she hadn't even noticed he was standing in front of her until she felt his cold fingers runs across her skin. "And…………………………….my touch can KILL too" He whispered in her ear, grinning when he heard her suck in a breath.

Mayu couldn't help but to suck in her breath when she heard what he said. She gulped, trying to think what to do, what to say. Then she heard him speak again. "So now that you know……………………………………..are you afraid of me too?" When she heard him she knew exactly what to say. Mayu took a deep breath and smiled. "No, I'm not afraid of you" This took Serio by great surprise, he pulled back from her and stared at her smiling face.

"What?" He didn't understand, everyone who had seen his power were always scared of him and never wanted to see his face again. And yet, this little girl saw what he could do, heard that he can kill her with a mere touch of his fingers and still wasn't afraid of him. "I said, no, I'm not afraid of you" And again she smiled at him, so warmly and bright, never in his life had anyone smiled at him. Serio was in a mix of emotions unknown to him. Confused, relieved, hopeful, surprised, but most of all happy, that finally someone wasn't afraid of him.

"But…………………why?" Serio had to ask, he wanted to know why she wasn't afraid of him like everyone else. "Its like I told you earlier, it doesn't matter what you look like or what you can do. You're still a kid, just like me"

Mayu's POV

I know he's confused, I would be too if I was in his position. He's been feared and hated by everyone, even his own parents, for most of his life so it must be new to him to meet someone who's not afraid of him.

But when I heard him ask if I was afraid of him after I saw his powers, I could hear it, just a little bit, but I still heard it. Sadness, loneliness, that's what I heard in but a whisper in his voice. Even if he wasn't aware of it himself, I was, because I could hear it clear as day.

Even though his power is scary and his personality doesn't really help much either, I can't help but to feel sorry for the guy. Being locked away, in such a cold and dark place, he must feel like a prisoner and that he's nothing but hated by those around him.

I just met him and I don't know that much about him, but I do know that I want to make him smile for once. I'd like to get to know him better, at least then he'll know that there's someone who understands him.

Serio's POV

'A kid just like her………………….' Though Mayu can't tell, I was truly happy that she didn't think of me as a monster. But even so, deep down I know, as long as I have this dangerous and frightful power I will always be feared and hated.

Still…………….its strange of me to think so, but I'd like it if I could get to know her. I've been by myself for so long, its both strangle and quite trilling to have someone my age here with me.

I know it won't last long, but I hope that…………………….even if just for a little while, we could be friends.
