I edited chapter 1 already. Nothing much, just added a tattoo to Gin's back.

Disclaimer: I do not DGM or any of the characters.

We walked through the streets once more, just like a week ago when we were headed to that one house. This time though I was dressed in a white dress that bunched out and reached my knees and the old ballet shoes. I had my arm linked with Xerxes's and he looked like any noble should: An exquisite black tux and black pants. My hair covered my damned eye once again.

"Onee-san," he says near my ear, "Why did we come to Europe? And worse, mixing with the nobles?" He spat out the word as if it word poison him. His red hair was pushed neatly back on his head except for a small part that stayed in his face.

"I told you, I'm looking for something." After hearing this answer once again, he leaned away and stayed silent. "And hiding in the nobles will help me reach my destination quicker." We continued on in silence until we slipped away from the snobs and into the less crowded streets. Xerxes lets go of my arm and opted to just walk beside me. He is mad and I know it.

Sorry, mon frère, but you don't need to know everything. There are some things that you can wait to find out.

We can feel the stares from the people around us. More just keep on coming. I can hear their whispers; I can feel their hatred. We look like those fucking nobles, who would blame them? But I also know what they would do. I lean up to Xerxes's ear.

"Xe, be prepared to run or fight. Which ever signal I give, got it?" He nods subtly and I lean back down. The people look sick and weak, so we can take them. He knows just to disable them though. They just hate nobles like us.

People are so stupid sometimes. They better be glad they are somewhat like me.

We continue walking and ignoring them, like a noble would do. I feel disgusted with myself; even if it is just a disguise. Xerxes tenses his arms just a little beside me, and I realize that they're coming after us now. One motion, one swish of my white hair, and they would be knocked out immediately. But… I feel fear. I'm scared of them, but it's just normal people. I don't get scared. Something is very wrong.

What's wrong with these people?

I brush imaginary dust of my dress and glance over at Xerxes. He'll be surprised, but I got to go with what I'm feeling. He sighs.

One…two…

"Run!" We sprint off down the street. I hear an inhuman shriek from behind us but I stop myself from looking back. Xerxes grabbed my arm and pulled me up beside him. Something flew past my head and landed in front of us.

"I'm hungry, kill, I'm hungry, kill!"

Fear pulsed through my veins as more screams filled the sky. Another thing went flying by and I got a quick glimpse of it. The thing looked like a huge bullet as more and more of them came flying at us.

"Keep running Onee-san!" My mind had already shut itself down, leaving my body to act on it's own. My breath ragged, my knees ached. I could barely see where we were going; the buildings rushed past me in a blur. But I did see when we came to a dead end.

I can feel the Akuma near, but they're not close enough for me to see. I pushed through the nobles, desperate.

Damn it! If only these damn people will move!

I hear the shriek and everyone else around me does too as the whispers get louder and people start to act nervous. They start to move out of my way as I run through them and I head out into the empty streets toward the Akuma. I can see them from here, but it seems like all of them are chasing something. I activate my arm and run after them, hoping it's not too late for the people they're chasing.

"I'm hungry, kill, I'm hungry, kill!"

I can see them shooting.

"No!" I jump up and slice two in half and start on the others, not standing to watch them move on. Three of them got away and are still chasing the people, who I can see now. I chase after the remaining Akuma with fear in my heart; they ran straight into a dead end. I quickly kill two of them, but one of them starts shooting.

I don't know what I'm seeing as I stand beside Xerxes, shaking in fear. I feel a terrible sadness coming from them. They were an oval shaped creatures with gun-like barrels moving on them, pointing towards us.

"No!" I see a boy, a boy with white hair like me, attacking two of the creatures. He turns to the third one, but it's already turned to us. I jump in front of Xerxes as the bullet head straights for him, hitting me instead in the arm. It shots me three more times before it suddenly stops. I feel pain rush through my body and open my eye and see black stars forming on my arms, covering most of it already.

"Onee-san!" I can feel my body shaking and my arms are nearly covered all the way. I can hear his voice break as he cries out to me over and over.

I'm going to die,I think. I can't die yet!I have to find him!

A bright light blocks my already dimming vision, and the pain starts to disappear.

"Impossible…" I look up to meet gray eyes looking down at me.

"Onee-san! S-stay awake Onee-san!" I just stare into the familiar eyes and lift my arm up to them. I know these eyes. I reach up to them, not believing my fading vision. Shaking, my arm falls down again.

"I-it's nice to see you again… Red," I whisper to him before everything goes black.

I back away from the white haired girl quickly, shocked. Her brother had her in his lap rocking her back in forth. I notice the cross on her collarbone, but that can wait.

She called me Red... how does this girl know that name?

"What is this girl's name?" I ask the boy with red hair, trying to keep my voice from shaking. He didn't answer me, or even look in my direction. Cautiously I crawl over to the girl's side again and look down on her unconscious body. "Who is she?" I ask quietly once again.

"She's my adopted sister. She's okay, right? Onee-san is going to be alright, right?" I nod slowly, unsure. She is apparently like me, seeing as she can remove the Akuma's poison from her body.

"What is your sister's name, please?" I ask softly. Memories threaten to consume me, but I push them away.

"Her name is Gin. Zaki Gin. Please, can you help her? Help me take her to a doctor or something." I don't move though. "Help us please!" I ignored him and just stared at Gin. I remember her now. Her white hair, her green eye, everything from her when she was just eleven. Under that eye patch she wore there was her completely black eye.

"O-of course I'll help. Sorry, I was thinking about something. Give her to me and I'll carry her; you're to exhausted to carry her and yourself." He hesitated for a minute but nodded numbly and let me pick her up. I held her gently, as if she would be crushed by a touch. We walked away from the dead end, out from the streets that were destroyed from the Akuma, and hidden from the nobles headed to see what happened.

"Thank you. Thank you so much sir," he told me softly, his eyes never leaving Gin. I was the same, barely looking at where I was going but keeping my eyes on my old friends limp body.

It's nice to see you again, too, Raven.

I'll most likely explain Allen (if ya couldn't tell it was him) calling Gin Raven in the next chapter. Once again, if you find any mistakes in this chapter, please message me or by telling me in a review. It'll be appreciated! If anyone has any tips or ideas for the story, I'll listen to them! Help is welcomed.

Mon frère means "my brother.'

Red was Allen's nickname when he was still in the circus with Mana.

R&R!
