Thanks for the reviews, I just noticed that my title is a little wrong. It's suppose to be Scarred Sklave, but stupid me didn't figure out the difference between scared and scarred. Oh well, I'll will update everyday until I hit a writers block…but anyway, enjoy the next chapter and advise me if there's anything wrong or you don't understand something ^^ BTW, this one's a little long. I was going to make it two chapters, but I couldn't find anywhere to stop, so I just keep going. Hope you enjoy it.

It hurts…

"AHAHAH!"

Who's laughing?…Is that…Ayanami?…

"Stupid sklave! You thought you could get away from me? Ha! Just for that I'll make sure you suffer!"

No!…Stop hurting me!…I did nothing wrong!…

"At least you lasted longer than your friends!"

No, Teito…Mikage…I have to get away…Where am I now?…AHHHH! I'm falling!

Splash!

Water?…No…It's red…blood…

"That's what you get demon child! Drown in your own blood!"

Mother!…I-I can't breath…help…me…

(Hikari's POV)

Ahhhh!…Wait, where am I?…Ouch!

I looked down and saw the bandages covering my body, and remembered what had happened. I looked around my new surroundings, and the room I was in was pretty average; with nothing but two beds and a huge window that revealed just how late I had awakened.

Wait a second…two beds?…Teito! I have to find him! Ouch!…

I looked back at my bandages, and saw a dark red splotch that slowly began to soak through my bandages on my right side.

I guess I haven't fully recovered yet, but that's not important. I have to find Teito. I have a feeling he might be in trouble.

I got up, slower this time, and managed to get out the door and down the corridor, without seeing anyone.

Then again, no one would be awake at this hour anyway, but why wasn't Teito in his bed?…Did he leave me?…I mean, who would want to be friends with a mute, let alone a battle sklave like me, who was told to kill him…Surely, he left me here…

As doubts began to sink in, I rounded the corner and saw Teito speaking with an elderly man, but something was wrong. Not only was I not wearing the bandages over my left eye, but I could see huge boney wings protruding from the old man's back and Teito didn't seem to notice. I thought I was seeing things, but when I rubbed my eyes the wings were still there. The old man reached towards Teito and mumbled something, but I knew, whatever he was doing, it was going to hurt Teito. Injuries or not, I had to help him. So I did what any friend would do, and attacked a helpless old man with my zaiphon. The man was definitely quicker than he looked, and managed to easily dodge my attack.

"Oh…so you can tell that I'm a kor…you must have a great soul…"

Kor?…What is that?…Does it have something to do with the wings?…Ah! I can't worry about this now!

"Teito, are you okay?"

"Hm?…You are speaking through zaiphon?…Ah…I see… You are mute…Poor child…"

Ignoring what he had said, I looked at Teito, who didn't answer. Immediately, I knew something was going on. Teito's eyes were drained of color, as if he was no longer in this world.

"Ah. Ha. Ha…You're too late…The contract has already been made…"

Contract?…I don't care about some stupid contract! All I care about is killing this old man for doing this to Teito!

I little voice in the back of my head told me not to hurt the man…that it wasn't his fault…but I have no other choice. He did this to Teito, and now he'll have to pay the price for hurting my friend! I charged at him again, but he was too fast and threw me against the wall.

Crap…my wounds have reopened and are making it harder for me to catch up to him. I need to end this quick, and I only have one shot.

I knew this was my last chance. So I mustered every ounce of strength I had left and managed to get right behind the old man.

"Oh…You're a clever one aren't ya…Too bad I saw you coming."

The man turned around, grabbed a hold of my throat, and pinned me to the ground. I knew I was pretty much screwed, but I at least wanted to help Teito. I shot a zaiphon at his feet, hoping that attacking him might wake him up.

"Ha! You think that'll do anything?"

There's nothing wrong with trying, I thought. I looked out of the corner of my eye and saw Teito wrapped in what appeared to be string. Long, glowing, blue string.

Maybe I'm just seeing things, seeing how I'm about to pass out.

Luckily for me, I wasn't. The old man jumped off me, and I saw a huge scythe hovering just above me. Unsure of what exactly I was seeing, I reached up, touched it, and followed the handle to its owner. A tall, blond man (possibly a bishop of some sort) stood there holding Teito, who just realized what was going on. Just seeing Teito okay, made me want to run over there, but as I began to walk closer, I noticed something behind the bishop. A huge figure, cloaked in black, began to appear. I stopped, both confused and scared.

"Hey! Why're you just standing there?"

At that point, I could no longer hear what he was yelling at me. In fact, I couldn't even move.

"Fool! You should have moved when you had a chance!"

"Hikari! Look out!"

I finally snapped back to reality, just as the old man went to attack me. Unfortunately for me, my body was a bit slow on the return to the real world.
