*Shion*

Nezumi? No, it can't be….

It's dark. I can't move. Why can't I move? Maybe if I open my eyes…no. It's to much work. I think I see something up ahead. Well, I guess I'm not really seeing it if my eyes aren't open. But there's a bright light how can I see it if my eyes are closed? Should I walk towards it? Yes, I'll try and see what it is.

As I get up from where I lay, I almost fall back down. My legs, they're so weak. I don't remember running, in fact I don't really remember anything at all.

My name is Shion, I live in the city of what use to be No.6, and I work in a pet shop. But why can't I remember what I was doing right before everything went black? Well right now that doesn't matter, I want to find out what this light is. With more strength I push off from the ground and start walking slowly towards the light. As I get closer I start smiling, I feel like everything is going to be alright. Like, I'm right where I need to be and nothing can stop me from going towards this unfamiliar but very pleasant light. Suddenly I stop in my tracks. Is that Nezumi, again? Cocking my head to the side I try to listen harder.

"NO! SHION! STAY WITH ME, DAMNIT!" It sounds muffled, like there's a bunch of water in my ear and I can't hear clearly. But I know for a fact that it's Nezumi.

"SHION! I SAID STAY WITH ME! NO, NO,NO,NO! DON'T LEAVE COME ON I KNOW YOU'RE STLL IN THERE!" Why is he yelling? Everything is so peaceful. I'm almost at the light and I want to oh so badly let it engulf me. Fill me up with it's peacefulness, make me as happy as I ever were. Maybe Nezumi can come with me! But as soon as the thought crossed my mind I realized that he couldn't, not until it was his turn.

Wait, wait, wait. His turn? What does that mean? Then my memories start flooding back into my head like water passes through a river. The two guys with guns. One got me in my leg. Then….Nezumi was there? Yes! He heard the gunshot and came to see what it was, and he commanded me to blink up at me to make sure I was still with him, while he carried me to…where did he carry me to? Oh, yeah everything already went black before I knew where he was taking me.

As I stand there thinking about all of this I hardly realize that the light was starting to dim. It was moving away from me instead of towards me. I fall back down to the ground as pain shots through my right leg. Why is it hurting? It wasn't a second ago and now I can't even stand. What's going on? I'm so confused.

"we got a heartbeat." A unknown voice, informed someone.

"Really? Shion?" It's Nezumi again, his voice is wobbly and uneven like he's been crying. The voices are clearer, not as muffled anymore.

"Come on Shion, you can do it. I know you can." Nezumi sounds like he's right by me, giving words of encouragement. Yes I know I'm trying Nezumi. I really am. But I just don't know how to open my eyes. I'm trying with all my will to open them but they just won't. it feels like they're glued shut together and you would need a hammer and a nail to undo them.

"Shion, please I don't want to loose you again!" Nezumi says in a louder tone.

"Nezumi?" I barely whisper. But I said it. I said his name and I will not stop till I can see his face.

"Shion! Thank God!" I feel my hand being picked up and his wrapping around it.

Then, I open my eyes.
