Hiya. So don't hate me, but I am starting a new story. I know, I know. You're probably all like, "WHAT?! But you still have Healing Love & Stuttering Belief to work on!" Trust me guys, I know. And I'm working on it. This is just one of those things that if I don't start now it's never going to get done, ya know? So don't think that because I'm posting this, that I'm going to forget about my other stories for other anime, mkay? Now, here's the Prologue guys ^_^ I'm sorry it's so short :(

- Pain's Rebel Angel ;)

Disclaimer: I do not own K. If I did, Tatara would be revived, and Mikoto wouldn't have died. Shiro also wouldn't be MIA -_-

Prologue

Kōshi Miduchi… That is a name I will never forget. It's a name that is forever imprinted in my memories. I only wish I could forget him, and what he did…

He was a vile man. Using strains, and experimenting on them. I was a part of the first group of strains he gathered. There were eight of us all-together; Raiden, Ren, Orochi, Yuuki, Sakura, Kiri, Hina, and myself. Back then though, we didn't really have names. I remember that they called us by miscellaneous names, usually having something to do with our abilities.

But that wasn't the worst they did to us. Oh, no. Sure he didn't even acknowledge us, but the experimenting was the worst. It was horrible. He always had some excuse that it was to somehow stimulate our ability. As if that made all of it alright…

Raiden was the one to plan our escape. He was the oldest out of all of us, and also probably the best strategist at the time. After studying the guards and our routines for weeks, he began to slip us messages. He gave each of us specific instructions about how we were going to get out.

The funny thing is that he told us that figuring out how to give us the messages was actually harder than the plan itself. Still in the end he gave us our messages by putting our abilities into play. I think Kiri's gift of Apportation, was a huge help to her. Probably the coolest out of all our ways of getting our messages too. We communicated like this for some time until everything was ready.

Finally, the night came for us to leave. However, not exactly everything went as planned. Miduchi had deviated from his usual course, and had Kiri with him at our designated time to escape. Though our plan had worked in us all getting out individually, nobody really wanted to leave her behind in his hands.

Orochi went back for her, and that was the last we saw of either of them. Raiden stayed with us until the guards caught up to our group. We lost him, then as well.

I hear afterwards he got a hold on some more strains, and started his 'work' again… Those poor kids… Maybe if he would have known he succeeded he wouldn't have experimented on others. Of course, I suppose that's just wishful thinking.

See, the thing is, just weeks before we were able to get out, he started really developing an obsession with a Strain King. He began experimenting with the idea on me… Little did he know he actually succeeded…

My name is Rayne Yoshikawa, and I am the Black King.

So, what did you think hmm? This fiction will also have a sister fiction, following one of the minor characters from this story just so you know. It will be during the same time though, so, both of them will be happening at the same time. I'll probably start working on that one after I finish this one up and post it.
