Gunshots could be heard, the ground was shaking along with the sounds of explosions, men screaming. All this and yet all Kisa could see was darkness. His body shook; the chains rattling. So much chaos all around but none of it could be seen. It scared him. All he hoped was that he would be saved from it all. A pain in his back caused him to scream. How much longer? "Shit. They came too early." The same voice that has been harassing him during his stay growled with frustration. "It's too soon."
They? Who were they? He gasped as the chains seemed to disappear and he fell to the ground face first. Lying on the cold stone ground for a second, Kisa felt his body grow heavy. It was as if something large was pressing him down until he could not breathe. "This won't be over." His voice was so close to his ears and then gone in a second.
Kisa could not feel a presence anywhere near him. He tried to get up but all he could do was lift his upper body up before falling down. Help… "KISA!" Who was that? "KISA!"
Me? "H...h..h..h..he..he..re." Kisa reached out in the darkeness. I'm here.
"KISA." His eyes were blinded by the sudden light and he vaguely made out the shape of a figure rushing to him. "KISA."
Wings. Beautiful white wings shined through Kisa's hooded eyes. Something about the wings made him feel a peace he had not felt in a while. He fell back into darkness as gentle hands brushed against his face.
In the Mitsuhashi research office, Misaki was tapping his feet on the ground and hands rubbing against his face. "Misaki you need to calm down." Miyagi sat at the desk across from his. "You're going to make yourself sick."
Misaki put his hands on his desk but his foot still was tapping. "It's been two days."
Ritsu sat next to him. "They had to spend a day over there planning their move and finding the hideout where Kisa was being held. You just have to have faith." Misaki narrowed his eyes. 'Have faith' was all the three have saying the past few days; Hiroki just kept repeating "keep tapping that foot I will break it. They are grown men and you just need to let them work."
He was not someone to console others.
"I'm so bored though." Shinobu huffed. Like they said he was forced to stay behind since everyone thought he was not ready for this type of mission. "Are they back yet?"
"They'll get back when they get back." Hiroki growled at them all. Misaki could see he was worried about Nowaki being down in the Underworld but he did not like to show it. Ritsu also expressed his concern for Takano. Misaki was just even more agitated since it was a rescue mission for Kisa. A possibility he could finally see his adopted father after three months. "Is the room prepped?"
Ritsu nodded, "I just finished."
"Good, when they get back they will…" "HIRO-SAN!" Nowaki rushed through the door.
"Nowaki?" Hiroki was startled but relief flashed briefly through his eyes and then back to business. "You have him?" Nowaki noticed Misaki, turning to him with a smile. "Yeah, we found him."
Misaki could barely hear Hiroki give orders as he ran out of the room and down the hall where the rest of Emerald were all outside a door. "Misaki." Akihiko stood in front of Misaki's path to slow him down. Misaki looked up with hope. "Usagi-san?"
Akihiko lead him to the open door where Yukina was standing, holding the person on the bed's hand. When he looked back Yukina looked happy but also concerned. "Misaki." Misaki gasped as he saw Kisa on the bed unconscious. He was still in the clothes he wore when he died but they were dirty and torn. His hair was a mess and he looked skinnier than usual. "Kisa-nii."
"All of you out." Hiroki, Miyagi, and Ritsu came in. "He has not been out the Underworld for long, we need to make sure he is still pure." Yukina squeezed Kisa's hand before, letting go, kissing his forehead and trudging out. Akihiko did the same and Misaki was about to follow but Miyagi stopped him. "You can be in here."
Misaki smiled, looking back at Kisa. Hold on Kisa-nii.

I'm Back!
More fun facts: The title, Watashi ga Kieru mae ni, according to google translate, means Before I Disappear.
So suspenseful right?
Also I decided to put this where it rightfully should, in the crossover section.
