CHAPTER ONE

It was a warm afternoon after a morning rain. The roads were muddy, but the path was clear. Three figures sneaked through the crowd, practically undetectable if not for their voices chatting away.

"Hey," her voice was feminine. "Does anyone else have a bad feeling?"

"Like something important is about to happen, yeah." A redhead answered back, checking their surroundings in case of a sudden attack. Can never be too careful even if they were close to headquarters.

"Ch. Idiots don't feel things like that," raven hair shimmered in the moist air. At first glance, the third figure looked feminine but the low voice that practically growled when talking and cobalt eyes that glared gave away his true gender.

"That's mean, Yuu-Chan," the said boy didn't think twice about killing anyone that used his first name, well at least he tried. The redhead easily dodged having expected the punch.

"Let's keep going guys." Lenalee, about the only one who could stop them, spoke up before they attracted anymore attention.

They began walking down a less populated street to return home. It was getting colder as sunset was coming closer. Passing by an alleyway, something caught in the corner of the one-eyed redhead. It was movement. Not just normal movement, but a white twitching thing. He couldn't help but stop, he was always the curious one. His companions did so too.

"What is it Lavi?" Lenalee said.

"That," the two followed the teens pointed finger towards a old man, by the looks of it, slumped in the farthest corner.

"What is that?" being a worrywart like she is, she started down the dark alley.

"It's probably just another stupid drunk. Don't worry about it," Kanda, the one always ready to kill if need be, said.

"No, I thinks it's a boy, and around our age, too." Lavi said standing next to Lenalee, who were about a foot away from the kid. Looking closer, the boy was on the short side, in black jeans, and a red shirt. Something nagged in the back of his mind, but he decided to ignore it for now.

"Then, why does it have fucking white hair like its 50," Kanda spat, walking to stand behind them with his arms crossed over his chest.

"I don't know but, what's with him twitching every few seconds?" the girl asked.

Lavi bent down and noticed that the boy's gloved hands were pressed on his stomach. The weird feeling was now yelling at him to move the boy's hands. Listening to the feeling he reached over and lifted the white haired hands, only to gasp loudly and drop the hand and jump back. He landed on his butt when he jumped. The reaction caused both of his friends to worry once again.

"What's wrong Lavi, what happened?"

"H-he's covered in . . . blood. Tha-that's not a red s-shirt, it's his red bl-blood," Lavi could only tremble at the thought of so much blood. All three cringed back at that much blood. Kanda hid his well since the Kanda Yuu was not afraid of anything. Or thats what most believed. The only sign that the kid was alive was the constant twitching and shallow breathing.

"What do we do, can we help him?" Lenalee asked the raven haired man, him being the leader of the three.

"Ch. Don't have much of a choice," He walked over, not minding the blood he got on his clothes as he picked the brat up and slung him over his back like a bag. "Let's go home."

They rushed home, carrying a boy that would change the way they thought about everything, not that anyone else knew that.
