Warning! Warning! This is a bonus chapter! It is merely a glimpse into parts of this story's past and has NOTHING to do with what will happen in the present...well, most of it won't.
This is going to show certain parts, and hopefully, answer some questions.

(Approximately 6.5 years ago)
A small group of two people were sitting in their town's park, talking away. The two were boys, one with brown hair, and chocolate colored eyes, while the other had black and white hair and blue eyes. The boy with brown hair seemed to be staring at the blue-eyed boy, causing him to feel awkward. "Take a picture, it'll last longer, Hikari." He stated, and the other boy sighed. "Chaud, I told you to call me "Lan".....by the way....who hit you?" The boy, called Chaud, flinched. "What are you talking about? I wasn't hit." "Yes you were...you're trying to hide it with your hand, but I see it. That bruise is a bruise people get when they're hit," (This plays into my theory that young children are evil genii.) His eyes narrowed. "so, who hit you?" Chaud bit his lip, and slowly removed his hand from his face, revealing a small patch of red, blue, and purple. It was also slightly bleeding.
"....It was Da-...Mr. Blaze, ok? It's not a big deal." (A/N: Another theory that I came up with: Mr. Blaze as a child abuser.) "Him again?" Lan, the other boy asked. "Yes," A low voice answered from a small distance. Both looked to find an older boy, a scowl on his face. "The old man took his anger out on him....I swear, I'm going to kill that man one day...." He gowled. Chaud shook his head. "Jet....."
Lan looked at the floor, thinking. ".....I'll be going to your residence today, then." He finally broke in, causing the other boys to look his way. "What?" They asaked simaltaneously. "I want to see what exactly is happening over there. I already spoke with my parents about it. Well, at first I had different intentions, but....this is an oppurtunity to discover what it's like." "......alright," Jet spoke softly. "Be careful though..."

The three boys were now in the Blaze Mansion, and it was nearing 9 p. m. Chaud and Lan were heading to bed, while Jet went into the library to read. "Jet..." A voice said, breaking the silence. Jet looked into the doorway to see a middle aged man, holding a fencing sword. However, the ball point used to cover the tip was gone. "I warned you...I told you not to tell anyone.....but, you broke that warning...now...I must remove you. All of you, actually." He walked closer, and Jet did the same. "Bring it on.....Dad" The two charged at each other, the look of death in their eyes....

Lan, hearing a commotion, got up and ran to where the disturbance was. What he saw was almost too much for him to bare. Jet stood perfectly still, a sword ran through his neck. A bubble of blood formed on his mouth, and his eyes rolled in back of his head. As the sword was pulled out, the boy fell to the floor, leaving the man with a smile on his face. "Jet.....no....." Lan said, although his voice was barely audible. The man looked at Lan. "Now.....it's your turn!" He said, running after the boy. Screaming, Lan ran as fast as his legs could carry him down into the building's first floor. However, he tripped on the stairs, and fell, breaking his leg. He rolled onto his back, eyes wide as the man leaped from the stairs' top step, giving off a war call. "NO!!" He screeched, squeezing his eyes shut.....

Re-opening his eyes, he saw the man, a hole where his chest should be, on the floor. Above, a patch of data dispersed. Lan didn't even hear the door open as policeman ran in....

Lan and Chaud sat in the hospital, waiting for the nurse to take them to see the bodies. Lan's eyes seemed clouded. ".....I'm sorry." Lan stated, his gaze into nothingness never wavering. Chaud shook his head. "You shouldn't be the one saying that. Mr. Blaze should." Foer the first time in hours, a spark seemed to come to the other boy, and he turned his head to Chaud. "You didn't stutter on that this time." "That's because I don't see him as my father anymore...not after he killed Jet...." "...Why? Why do our friends end up here?" Chaud sighed. "I don't know, Lan.....I just don't know....."

Yes, that was sad, and no, I'm not fixing the previous chapter even though it does stink. I will just move on with the story after this chapter.
