Dark.

Dark, dark, dark, dark…

Yes, that's all there was.

Kai simply lay there for a while, admiring the pitch dark. His groggy mind did not asses it very fast, until he began to wake up more. Soon, he began to scramble in the darkness, calling out for someone. He couldn't hear his voice, but knew he was screaming.

He felt something being shoved into his mouth. Two small capsules. He began to struggle, screaming even louder.

He was forced to swallow the two capsules. He stopped screaming, as a pain so intense ripped through his body, locking up his voice.

It hurts… Is all he thought.

He began to slip away.

Slip away so slowly…

Tears pricked his eyes.

Where was Hal?

Why wasn't he here to save him…. ?

What had happened to him.. ?

----------- 4 Hours earlier ----------

Kai and Hal were in the Narcotics Department, in a rumble of many detectives.

The King case had escalated since the bombing. Now, everyone was on it who wasn't involved.

Other cases were piling up, as they needed everyone they could find on this case.

They simply sat there, having been told they should take it easy after what had happened. And why? They were just fine!

In fact, Hal had proven himself, many many times.

Now, they watched as everyone scrambled around, answering phones, looking through documents and all around just…

Being hectic.

Kai's mind was whirling at the speed everyone seemed to be moving.

Hal stood up. "C'mon, Kai, we're going."

"Oh… okay."

The two stood p, and left without anyone noticing. Once outside, Hal lit up a cigarette, and placed it in his mouth.

Kai sighed. "To think this case is going on this long.." He mumbled.

Hal nodded. "Mm. We underestimated King in the beginning, and now we're paying the price for it." He said angrily, huffing out smoke.

Kai nodded as they walked in the crisp cold day. It was beginning near winter time, and the snow had already come around. It lightly dusted the ground. By tonight, though, the news report said it may get up to a foot.

Hal took the cigarette from his mouth.

He had begun to doubt King's threat that he would take Kai.

I mean, it had been almost a month, and nothing had happened. Sure, there was random attacks, but even at the club King had made no attempt, even though he had been with Kai all alone.

Kai looked at Hal, who was deep in thought. Slowly, the younger male slipped his gloved hand into Hal's hand, bringing the blonde out of his thought.

Hal looked down at his hand, before into the maroon eyes of the redhead, and smiling softly.

"Is everything alright, Kai?"

"…. I want pocky." The redhead said, looking away.

Ever since they had begun to date, Hal had noticed a sort of selfish part of the redhead, that only came out sometimes. It was almost childishly adorable.

"Alright, Kai." He said, leading the younger male to a convenience store.

As Kai purchased the pocky, Hal went back into his thoughts.

He paid the cashier no attention.

The cashier was looking down, as he rung up Kai's total.

Kai paid.

The cashier smiled.

"Really…"

The world seemed to freeze as Hal heard a click. He turned, face to face with a gun. A young cashier looked into his eyes, an evil humorous glint in the emerald orbs, black hair framing them.

"Have Narcs gotten this stupid?"

"Hal!"

King pulled out another gun, pointing at Kai as well. Hal flipped out his pistol, and pointed it at King. King smirked.

"You think you can outgun me, Hal? Tsk tsk. I think someone like you would have known by now…"

Bang.

Hal had not even seen King's finger move on the trigger. All he knew, was the next minute, a burning sensation ran through his stomach, making him collapse to the ground. He coughed up blood.

"Hal!!!"

"Don't get towards him, Kai, or the next bullet will be to his head, and yours."

"Hal… Hal…" The redhead sobbed.

King laughed. "Tobari."

Footsteps came forward, grabbing Kai from behind, covering his mouth with a cloth. The liquid on the cloth soon made Kai pass out.

King leaned down next to Hal's ear. "Do not worry, Hal~ I've already called the police. They should be here soon."

Hal looked up at King, with utter hate.

King simply laughed. "Is that how you look up at me? Whimper, dog!"

A foot found its way to Hal's stomach, grinding on the wound. Hal let out screams.

King laughed childishly. "Exactly." He turned, his shoe bloodied. He slipped it off, and began to walk away with Tobari, who dragged Kai behind him.

Hal simply watched, in defeat, as Kai was taken away from him…..
