AN: Hi, this is my first story. I'm still working on the flow of the story and I will try to make it as interesting as possible. I have bottles and bottles of idea in my head but I'm not good at writing it. Hahaha. I'm an amateur here so, Yoroshiku Tanomu 'su! Enjoy. Please Read and Review.

Chapter 1: The First Message

He was afraid to go in but he just wanted to tell him that he's leaving. He heard the sound of his fingers stomping on the keyboard, a sign of anger which delivers the message of "Do not bother me now or I'll break your neck". He sighed and pushed the door open. He can only see his crimson eyes behind the mountains of files and papers.

"You're still here?"

"Aa.." he replied without even looking at the person speaking, still pounding on the keyboard, probably with the intention of pulverizing it.

"I'll help you… that is, if you want me to" said the little brother.

"Just shut up and leave already," he seems to be annoyed now.

"I'll see you later then," said Kyoushiro leaving his brother behind. He stopped abruptly remembering what their father had told him earlier, "Father is expecting you at dinner tonight, Kyo". He knew his older brother couldn't be bothered about it.

"Damn that old man, making me do all these work!"

Another 'annoying creature', as he put it, could be heard walking and humming happy tunes along the hallway. He knew this one will be coming here soon.

"Kyo-san, I'm leaving too," a raven haired beau (self-proclaimed), suddenly popped from the door. "Don't fall asleep and drool on the papers.. huhu 3"

". . ."

"Yukimura-sama, the car is ready," said Saizou.

"Ah~ Ah~ I'm going now Kyo-san. See you tomorrow. Toodle~" waved Yukimura as he walked to the lift. Kyo could still hear him talking to Saizou about the new jazz club and all the ladies he intended to meet later.

As they were walking to the car, Yukimura said, "I should have invited Kyo-san to go drinking with me tonight. Kyo-san sure works hard today ey, Saizou"

"Yes, Yukimura-sama"

They left.

--------------------------------------

"One after another, these maggots keeps on bothering me," he muttered to himself.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"And another one. Just when I thought I was the only one left," he thought.

"Who's there?" he asked. A newly received email appeared in his inbox.

"Howh… what's this?" said Kyo as he read the content.

Onime no Kyo.

Open the door.

Kyo ignored the message and continued with his work. Another email was sent to him by an unknown sender. He wondered who the hell would play a prank like this late at night. The message this time was, to open the door again. He decided to play along. There was no one there.

"Seriously, someone is tired of living," he grunted. As he was about to close the door, he looked down and saw a box sitting in front of him. Onime No Kyo was written on it. He carried the box to his table and ripped it open. There were layers of wrapping papers and boxes. In the end, he was left with an envelope which consists of a single piece of paper.

Walk into the dark narrow path.

Follow the White Rabbit.

Kyo stared at the paper in his hand. He lit a cigarette and laid himself comfortably on the leather sofa. "Dark narrow path… White Rabbit….." he said to himself. He gave it a long thought almost to the point of losing his temper but loosen up when he felt he was getting too deep into the crappy prank. His eyes were closed now and he's mentally stabbing someone who has the potential of orchestrating this practical joke, Yukimura. Suddenly, the phone rang and robbed him from his almost sadistic mind. He looked at the caller ID and it was Bontenmaru.

"How about a drink tonight, Ni-chan yo," said the voice over the phone.

"Hmph. I'll meet you there," Kyo replied and the conversation ended there.

He turned off the lights and walked to the door, grabbing his coat on the way. He remembered the paper he placed on the table and reluctantly walked back to take it. Why did this thing bother him so much, was the question that keeps on playing on his mind. He placed it in his pocket and walk down the long hallway to the lift. When he reached the lobby, he stopped to look at the big clock. It's 11.30pm.

"Good Night, Kyo-sama" said the security as he passed and swiped his card to the reader, next to the glass door. The valet shuts the door of his black Bentley and he drove off to the place he was supposed to meet Bontenmaru, The Black Alley.
