A/N: I can't write anymore. Nothing. Nothing at all. I came up with this before my brain crashed and burned (see what I did there)

Here's something


Flames, flames everywhere. Everything was red and orange, the flames didn't have enough space to be able to show some yellow. And screams. Blood curdling screams. Suddenly, there were people. People all in black, burnt to crisps, people trying to escape the flaming inferno, people dying, people screaming their lungs out. Death and screams, death and screams, interrupted only by the crimson red of flames. Pain, lots of it. He couldn't breathe. There was no space. Someone- someone was on top of him. There was something wet on his face now. Blood? No, it didn't have the right consistency. Tears. He looked up from his place on the floor. His sister. It was… his sister. She was looking down on him, crying, protecting him.

"Sis- what-"

"Shh, it's okay Kazu, everything is going to be okay."

Lies, she was lying. He could tell she was lying, she was still crying. Why was she crying? Then red, so much red. She almost fell on top of him, but held herself up.

Fire. Her back was on fire.

"Sis stop! What are you doing?!"

"Quiet down Kazu, you're giving me a headache…" She said with a forced smile.

"Sis no-"

There was a sudden burst of wind to his left; the plane had been opened. He looked towards the sound and saw someone, most likely a fireman, walk in.

"Over here! Quick! Help! Her back- her back's on fire!" He yelled.

The person made their way over swiftly as other firemen entered the burning aircraft. The boy looked up to his sister.

"Don't worry, we'll be fine. You'll be just fine. See that? They're coming over here right now; they're going to get us out. You'll have to be in the hospital for a while, but you'll be fine! Just wait!"

She smiled softly at him and shook her head. She was already on the verge of death, he could see it in her eyes, but he still tried, still hoped. As the fireman arrived, the woman lowered herself ever-so slightly and whispered. "I love you, little bro. Live well, grow up strong, for all of us."

"Don't talk like that, we'll get you out. We'll get you- it's okay…" He tried.

As her body fell to the side, the fireman lifted Kazu from the floor and dragged him out of the burning aircraft, despite his struggling.

He closed his eyes; he couldn't watch, couldn't stand to see his sister die there, covered in flames while he made it out alive. Then he yelled, yelled for her, cried for her, yelled at her, yelled at 'God', or whoever's fault this was. They were supposed to have spent a few weeks together. Kazu, his sister, their parents. But now they couldn't. They were dead. They were all dead. Except for him.

And then he woke up, he always woke up here, when his voice died, when he could see nothing but red anymore. He chuckled. How ironic, they died in a fire, and he was the new King of the Flame Road! How. Fucking. Ironic.

Suddenly, he felt a strangely comforting warmth circle him. Something that almost felt like his sister. Almost. He knew it was Ikki though. The idiot crow always knew what to do to make him feel better. This too was ironic. The crow had always been the one to tease him the most about his blonde hair, pale skin, light eyes, bully him; yet he was always the only one left. The only one he could always count on. He leaned back into the warmth and let himself cry the few tears he had left. This was the second time the crow had seen him like this, so he had nothing left to hide.

The comforting arms slowly turned him around so he could be held more closely.

For that night, he let himself go. He sobbed openly, angrily, quietly, onto the warm chest beneath him.


Urgh, sorry it's so short.

I need some help I am officially clueless and writer's block is killing me
