You know, since I was a kid, I always wondered why people read books by people other then themselves. I always thought that each person should write their own books, 'cause I was always so sure that if someone wrote a book, then they would like it best, because it came from their own thoughts, so it would fulfill their desires. But, some people don't know what they desire, so they cannot make a book that fulfills that which they do not know. ;3

- Random thought. By Patricia. (Abandon)

Kazu woke up to see a bruised Agito lying next to him on a bed that was inside of what looked to be an abandoned building, the walls painted in every color imaginable, some with art on them, some just solid colors, - it was beautiful, especially how the morning sun lit the gold-colored wall directly opposite the bed, bathing everything in dazzling light.

Wait, morning sun- - -? Kazu shot up in the bed, trying to see more of their surroundings, just remembering that they were attacked and captured last night.

The sudden movement caused Kazu's head to throb, forcing him to lie back down before he could see more than a couch and some crates.

He heard rushing feet and the sound of water sloshing inside of something, then, a young girl of about eight with tight blonde curls and crystal clear blue eyes, wearing a pair of lose cover-alls and a long-sleeve appeared above him, holding a cooler and a bag of plastic cups in her arms.

'A-are you awake?', she squeaked out shyly.

Kazu nodded his head and tried to speak, but all that came out was a croak and rasping sounds.

'O-oh! Hold on! I got some water here for you two. Broken said that the stuff they gave you would make you thirsty. If you feel like throwing up, there is a bucket over there. I-i don't know about your friend. He woke up earlier and they hit him. He was trying to wake you up but the drug was still working, I guess. He tried to beat up Broken, and almost did, but the others got on him first.' , she said this all in one breath so it was rushed and barely understandable, but it sounded like something Agito would do, and Kazu said as much.

The girls eyes widened and she took a step back, 'I-is he ALWAYS that violent? Is-is he going to attack me?', she asked, voice trembling.

Kazu leant forward and rubbed her head playfully, at which she giggled and blushed. She handed Kazu a cup of water, he drank it gladly and got a refill.

He tried his voice and it worked better, 'I don't think he'll try to hurt you, if he does, I'll stop him. Okay?'

The girl nodded her head bashfully and blushed wildly, purposely not looking at Kazu.

'I'm Kazu, by the way. Who are you? And why are you here?'

'O-oh!', the girl squeaked, "I'm Azura. Um, Broken told me watch you two, in case you two woke up and needed help."

'That's a pretty name, Azura. Who's Broken? Is that your leader?', Kazu asked, curious about who would tell a little girl to watch two people they knew were violent.

Azura laughed, her high pitched voice like one of those hallmark commercials, cute as all else, yet somehow mocking. 'Of course BROKEN, isn't our leader, though he does have a higher standing than me in our group. Apolomi and Luna are our leaders. Luna more-so, although she tries to deny it.' Azura giggled again, her hair bobbing up and down on her shoulders.

'What type of people are your leaders?', Kazu asked Azura, finding the girl a font of information.

Azura had just opened her mouth when a harsh voice rang out from the back of the room, 'Don't tell them about us. It's bad enough you gave them names. Do you want to be the one that got us caught?' The speaker came out of the shadows to stand tall a few feet from the bed. It was a boy with serious bruises and cuts to the side of his face and on his hands, bandages covering most of his visible flesh. His jet black air damp, as though he had just gotten out of the shower, the unpleasant twist to his face said that he had no love lost for either Agito or himself.

As the boy, (Broken, maybe?), walked closer to the bed, Kazu tensed, ready for the fight that the boy clearly wanted.

But, Azura stepped in front of them, her arms stretched out wide, as though she could protect Kazu from the boy with just that.

'You were given order not to hurt them, Broken! Leave Kazu alone, or you'll be sorry! Luna and Apolomi are gonna be here soon!', she screamed at him.

He just sneered and kept walking, putting an extra sway in his thin hips just to make Azura mad.

Before he could even make it to the bed, another voice rang out, this time a female one, soft yet commanding attention, gentle, but leaving no room for compromising.

'Broken! I told you to leave them alone until I could get back. Why do you continue to purposely frustrate me? If you keep it up you WILL suffer the consequences.' , the new person said, walking in out of the sun, holding bags in her hands, her attire simple but still lovely. A man walked in after her, dressed similarly and also carrying bags. Kazu could tell that these people were Luna and Apolomi.

Kazu could tell how they got their names; Luna's hair was cotton white and her skin glowed with an inner light. Her eyes were stunning; one a blue so clear they reminded Kazu of a husky's, and one so dark a green it gleamed like emerald.

Where Luna was pale, Apolomi was dark, his dark tan making his bright red hair stand out all the more. The most eerie thing was that he also had two different colored eyes, thought his were different from Luna's; his right was, as far as Kazu could tell, crimson. His left so deep a black that it looked like it was all just the pupil.

They were both stunning. And for some odd reason, they looked like twins. Their faces were the same shape; their bodies mimicked each other perfectly.

But how could they be so different and yet be twins? Shouldn't they have the same eye color?

Luna sighed and turned to Azura, 'Az, go get everyone and tell them that breakfast is here. If they don't come, they don't eat, 'kay?'

Azura nodded her head and stuck her tongue at Broken before skipping out of the room.

Broken rolled his eyes and grumbled, ' more like brunch than breakfast. No, was HAD to wait for these shits to wake up.'

As fast as lightening, Luna whipped around and poked Broken hard in the chest. 'I have had enough of you. YOU were the one that brought them here and DRUGGED them. I SHOULD kick YOUR ass and let them do what they want with you. You deserved what the little chibi-kun did to you. I'd have let him beat you blind if I had my say so. You're lucky I got out voted. Alyssa is going to get it when she wakes up. I can't believe you talked them into doing this! You had no right to violate them this way!'

By the end of her tirade, Kazu almost felt bad for Broken, ALMOST.

Kazu snuck his hand back under the sheet that was pooled in his lap, trying to awaken Agito; if 'everyone' was coming here, Kazu did not want Agito defenseless.

Agito gave a groan and grabbed his head as soon as he came to, his bruise looking like shades of purple and green combined. 'What the fuck-?, He mumbled.

Kazu laughed, he wasn't that bad off if he could cuss like normal. Agito looked up at Kazu, obviously startled to see the older boy awake.

Agito jumped on Kazu, examining every inch he could before the older boy shoved him off.

'Are you hurt?! Did they hurt you!? They did didn't they!" Agito nearly yelled, making a lunge for Luna.

Kazu quickly grabbed his friend and kissed him on the lips, calming him down enough to explain; 'I'm alright. They didn't hurt me, I think. I just woke up a little while ago. Are you okay?'

The blush that came to Agito's face made the bruise look even worse. Kazu touched it and Agito winced. 'I'm sorry.' Kazu apologized.

Agito shook his head, 'It's not your fault. As long as you're safe, I'm fine.'

Now it was Kazu's turn to blush as Luna let out a long 'AWWW' and came to stand next to the bed, more people filtering into the room.

Agito glared at her, to which her only response was another drawl our "AW" sound, pissing Agito off more..

'Don't worry, Chibi-Kun. I didn't let them do anything to your boy while you were out. Here' Luna said, handing Agito a pouch of juice and two aspirins. 'You'll need this from the looks of the horse-shoe on your head.'

Agito just glared at her, not trusting what she was giving them.

Luna rolled her eyes and gave them to Kazu. 'Fine. You convince him to take them. It'll make him feel better and keep it from swelling more.'

Kazu looked at Agito with his cutest look ever and pleaded with him to take the medicine Luna was nice enough to give to him.

Finally, after both Kazu and Agito were blushing and everyone in the room were outright giggling or barely holding in laughter, Agito took the pills, mouth to mouth, of course.

As more and more people filed in, Kazu began to wonder just HOW many people were in this team.

The people in the room ranged from the gothic, Lolita, punk, rap, main-stream, classy, hoe-ish, and even some that looked like high-class rich kids. They seemed to come from all walks of life.

When more than a hundred people walked in, Kazu started to panic; there was no way they could fight their way out of this mass.

As though sensing his thoughts, Luna sat on the edge of the bed and started to hand out Burgers and pizza with EVERYTHING imaginable on them; Pineapple and Jalapeño pizzas to some, Pepperoni and cheese with salmon to another, and everything in between. The Burgers, for the most part, looked edible; the regular double cheese burger was most common, but some of the people had Jalapeños and radish on theirs. Some of the combinations made Kazu want to gag, but some of them made his mouth water.

Kazu and Agito were both secretly hoping that they would feed them because they were BOTH so hungry they felt faint. I had been about a day since they'd last eaten after all.

When everyone was sitting with their food, Luna handed Both Kazu and Agito a bag of food. A WHOLE bag. When they dumped the contents out, they saw what looked like one of each burger combination and a slice of each Pizza.

They both gaped at her, wondering if she were really giving them all this food to themselves and if she thought they could each that much.

Luna shrugged her shoulders and said in a non-chalant voice; ' I thought you two might be hungry. I didn't know what you liked so I got some of each category. If you don't eat it, I'll give it to someone who wants it. Eat what you like. It's the least we can do after SOME dumb-ass (all eyes went to Broken) kidnapped you two. You can go after you eat.'

Every mouth opened in protest, shouts of 'We should question them!' and 'But he's SOOOO cute! Let's keep him!' and 'Their the enemy! We should hold them 'till their leader shows up!' and 'Torture!' were all screamed by the gathered crowd. The last shout troubled Kazu and Agito; would they have to fight their way out of here?

Luna and Apolomi yelled simultaneously 'Quiet! There shall be no discussion about this!'

Every voice went mute so fast it left Kazu's and Agito's ears ringing with the silence.

Everyone went back to their meal, a quiet conversation taking up. People talking about everything under the sun.

This is so fucking weird. Agito thought. What's with these freaks?

Kazu was thinking how cool it was that Luna and Apolomi had such control on their group.

Kazu couldn't help but ask, 'What road do you guys run for?'

All eyes turned to him and all voices stopped, even Luna and Apolomi.

Luna said calmly, 'We all ride for whatever rode we want. We follow no set road. Each person is free to believe whatever they want, as long as there is peace.'

Kazu and Agito were shocked; everyone claimed a road. Well, everyone but them.

'Really?" Kazu asked, 'I thought all big teams chose a road to fallow. I was sure that a group this big would have one set road. Do you all have different ones?'

Luna smiled and shouted, 'What road do you all like?'

Each and every voice rose in a giant roar, screaming out different roads. Every road anyone could think of.

Kazu stared in awe; so they were like Kogarasamaru.

Once the voices quieted, Luna asked, 'What road do you two ride for?'

Agito sneered at them, 'We are the road. I am the king of the Fang road, and Kazu is the king of the Flame road. I ride for the thrill of the next big hunt; Kazu for his own reasons.'

Everyone looked at Kazu, expecting an answer. When he was not forthcoming, Luna poked him in the ribs and said,' Come on! We told you so you have to tell us. Why do you ride?'

Kazu blushed and looked down, mumbling his answer. Everyone yelled,' Louder!'

Kazu blushed harder and said slightly louder, 'I ride to hear the wind.'

Everyone but Luna and Apolomi gave a 'wtf' look or said, 'that's not an answer! Make sense!'

Luna shook her head and laughed, quieting everyone. 'He rides to hear the wind! Ah, how pure. So, you ride for that alone?'

Kazu blushed again and said,' I also like to ride, 'cause I can hang with my friends more. But I love the sound of the wind when I go so fast I can see only blurs. I love the way if feels to be part of something that is their regardless of your presence, yet welcomes you to peace anyways.' Kazu shrugged. 'It makes me feel alone. Clam alone. Not alone, like depressing alone, just calm alone.'

Kazu was blushing so hard his face was like a tomato, a cute tomato, but still a tomato.

Broken busted the good-vibe-bubble by saying,' Liar. We heard that everyone in Kogarasamaru was on the sky rode, like their leader. Everyone says he makes his team mates subservient to him, makes them convert to his rode. If that's true, what's he going to do when he rules trophaeum?'

Everyone seemed angered by these words, and Kazu could tell that this was going to be a LONG day.
