Author's Rant:
Ah, this is actually my first time writing for this couple and I have only been inspired by a song. This is no songfic, though. But I don't think I'll be able to write without songs... Anywho, I hope you do appreciate what I have to offer for all of you. I am only a novice in this thing.
Rurouni Kenshin ain't mine. There, satisfied? The great Nobuhiro Watsuki owns it. And L'Arc~en~Ciel ain't mine too. (Though I wish Yuki and Tetsu were...) *squeals* The connection? Nothing. Just wanted you all to know how rabid a fan I am.

Prologue: A Twist of Fate
***Soujiro***
Sitting behind my desk, I sighed. Many patients have walked in and out of my office and yet no sign of her. This is the first time since we graduated that she didn't show up at the clinic, and I'm beginning to worry. I stood up and got myself iced tea from the refrigerator. 'Calm down...' I mentally told myself. 'It's not like something bad happened to her...' I grabbed my cell phone and pressed 1 - her speed dial number. Ring, ring. Then it was cut.
The moment the line was cut, my fear became much unfathomable. Pacing back and forth, images of Misao flashed in my mind. Misao... kidnapped? Masaka... She's stronger than a man. Robbed? She's the fastest person I know... Well, besides me. (A/n: A little ego booster for our little tenken there. ^-^) What could have happened to her?
Finally letting the thought sink in, I fixed my things in a hurry and dashed out of the room. My secretary, Kamatari, gave me a questioning look. "Sir...? Where are you going?"
"Kamatari, I'm going to look for my best friend. Could you please lock the office after you have finished all those?"
"Certainly sir." She smiled and proceeded to work. I smiled inwardly, thankful that I have such an understanding secretary.
I descended the stairs, taking two steps at a time and finally getting to the lobby, punched out for the day and ran to my car parked just outside of the building.
"Aaahhh!!!" I jumped as my cell phone rang and vibrated in my pants. Scrambling to answer it, I immediately pressed 'answer'. "Yeah?"
"...Sou-kun..."
I stopped in my fast track actions and stopped the car on the street near her apartment.
There was something different in her voice that it sent my goose bumps rising. "...Misao! I have been so worried about you! Where are you? What happened? I was calling you and--"
I stopped at what was to be a sermon to her when I heard strangled sobs on the other line.
"...Sou-kun... I'm..."
Something inside me is telling me that something's wrong with Misao. "What's wrong Misao? Tell me! Where are you?"
"...I-I just got home from..."
"Wait for me!" I hung up and sped the car towards her pad, and in no time I was running again inside the building.
Omasu-san, the receptionist, did not bother to ask me where I was going for she knew who my destination was. And so she instantly gave me the visitor's pass and spoke. "Soujiro-san, she looked like she was about to cry. I think something is wrong wtih her. Please comfort her. There're no other vibrant spirits around here except her."
I smiled the usual smile I would give everyone. "Hai. You can count on me. Arigato." I bowed and then hurried towards her unit.
I reached the fourteenth floor and as the elevator door opened, I saw a figure huddled in one corner, looking outside the window. "Misao!"
She jumped as she heard her name, as if it took her out of reverie. Instantly she stood and ran into my arms. "Sou-kun!!!"
She was crying.
"Hey, what's wrong?" I asked as if it were the most usual question I asked her everyday. After all, she is my best friend. I have the right to know what caused her this much pain.
"Next month..." She murmured into my clothes.
This was the first time that she cried in all those years that we have known each other. I mean yes, she does cry sometimes, but only because of little things - the worst time that she cried was when her pet bird died.
But my gut feeling was telling otherwise. This is no small matter.
"Let's sit down, shall we?" She nodded and I led her to her living room.
I tried to calm down her sobs by tightening a bit my embrace on her lithe body. I brushed her hair of black and green. "What happened, really? You turned off your cell phone when I was calling."
"Sou-kun... I'm... I'm... getting... married...." She said faintly.
An overwhelming feeling rushed into my systems. It was strange. I have never felt like this before. Misao, my best friend, is getting married. I felt something inside me suddenly broke as she said those words.
My best friend of twenty years... Getting married.
I didn't expect it coming. Never have I imagined that she was going to get married! I mean, how she always jumped around and fought every boy in school - and certainly defeated them - and how she would always get herself reprimanded by his grandfather, Okina-san, because she never acted the way she should.
And for the first time in those twenty years we've known each other, my smile faded.
...tsuzuku...

Okay, not much said about the fic... Short and angsty? Go ahead, flame me.
