Disclaimer: Writing stories about them is not synonymous to owning them.

Pairing: FujixTezuka at the beginning, TezukaxFuji at the later part

Genres: Romance/Suspense/Angst

Warning: Yaoi, okay, for now I'm still writing in smut, not lemon(but I would probably include some in the later chapters). But perhaps a very twisted, cunning, astute Fuji would be enough of a warning now? Some dark themes and violence too, I ought to tell. It was rated M for these reasons.

A/N: This is my new fic, my first posted fic with the rating of M. Bear with me and all this weird plot bunnies hopping on my head. Actually this idea sprouted from nowhere. Thank you for those who would support this!!! If you have questions for what you are about to read, just ask away. I'm hoping you'll support this new story of mine!! I still have to update my two fics...and now add this one. Reviews! I need to know if I have to carry this one on! Enjoy the prologue!!


As The Pendulum Swings

PROLOGUE



Tick…Tock…

Tick…Tock…

Still silence. The atmosphere around is suffocating. I'm barely conscious, for some reason I felt beaten, dragged and maimed. The air seemed too stifling, I couldn't breathe at ease. My eyes are still shut closed; I have a feeling that when I open it, I would regret doing so. I try to move my limbs but it seems too heavy. I couldn't remember what happened to me, or why am I in such state that I could barely feel myself anymore.

And boldly, I opened my eyes.

Darkness, the worst of stygian, enveloped my eyes. The faint glimmer of the moon that glided past the gap of window curtain gave the room a dim glow.

My brows furrowed as I tucked my elbows up to look around me. I lay sprawled on the bed, feeling awkward. I squinted hard, my glasses left my eyes, but I couldn't remember taking it off earlier.

I continued to look around, trying to understand the situation that I'm in.

What was happening?

Where am I?

Desperation hit me and I frantically racked my brain to remember something. What happened last night? Then I realized I was not in my room nor is it my bed that I lay in to. The blanket slid off to my stomach and in utter horror I realize that I was almost naked.

Panic settled in. I felt my heart banging wildly.

And then the door creaked open.

Sinister, I've never known such sound would be this sinister.

My knuckles turned to pale white as I clutched the blanket around me tightly while yanking it up to hide my almost undressed state. I felt clammy, I haven't realized that fear had already taken control of me.

A looming shadow appeared and approached the bed, yet I couldn't see the face. A faint glare of silver caught my eye on the shadow's left hand. I shivered.

I want to utter a word, a cry, a protest, but my mouth felt to dry. I wanted to retaliate in any way I can, but I feel too rigid to even move.

And the next thing I knew, I was being pushed hard on the bed. It hurts, even if the bed is soft. My blurry eyesight couldn't comprehend what was happening.

Suddenly lips with such violent force crushed down on mine. My gasp went inaudible, the assault left me blank. I felt something warm darted inside my mouth and my panic grew. My hands attempted to shove off my attacker, but it was futile. The assault and the fact that I'm losing air gradually weakened me.

And then it ended. I heard a satisfied sigh followed by an awfully familiar chuckle. So familiar that it made cower in fear. That voice…

I heard a chink of chain and suddenly a silver watch dangled in front of my eyes, that despite my poor eyesight, I could see it. Then it started to swing.

A soft, deft finger held my chin and stopped me from looking away.

The soft rhythm of the sway started to hypnotize me. I couldn't tear my eyes away, much to my chagrin. I'm falling…falling to its charm.

Tick…Tock…

Tick…Tock…

That's right…

Close your eyes…

My eyes felt heavy. Too heavy. I tried to fight the desire to succumb, but it was hard…my eyes are following the alluring and velvety voice breathing down on my ears. I have to admit that I was drawn. Hypnotized. Mesmerized.

Close your eyes…Kunimitsu.

I'm sinking down the pillows. My eyes dropping as it obeys the voice on my ear. I'm barely holding on to consciousness. Somewhere along that, I felt someone smothering me with trails of kisses along my neck. I can't retaliate or even think. And then I knew no more.

And tomorrow,

When I snap my fingers…

Tick…Tock…

Tick…Tock…

You will be mine…

And mine only.

Tick…

Tock…

Tick…

SNAP.
