Prologue

I woke up in a hospital.

I opened my eyes and saw the bland white ceiling that marked the room as a hospital ward. I tried to sit up but my side hurt and wouldn't allow me to. I laid back and searched for someone to explain. Although in my heart I already knew what was wrong. I was about to call for someone when the door opened and a doctor walked in, followed by a blond haired girl. Her eyes lit up when she saw me. "Akki! You're awake!" she ran over and crawled into the bedside chair and then crawled into the bed.

She then wrapped me in a bear hug. It made my side hurt. The doctor smiled. "Good to see you're awake." Utau climbed down and ran outside. The doctor continued to scribble on his clipboard. Stalling. "How did I get here?" He looks up and sighs. He then walks over and pulls out one of those stupid lights that they shine into your eyes. As he examined my right eye he said 'I think you already know what happened." He moved on to the right one. "You were found half dead by the girl's older brother." He went back to his charts. I sighed and stretched. My side started hurting but I didn't stop. "Ikuto huh?" I said. The doc looked up and nodded. The doc smiled. "Who do you think she's here with?" he says as he makes his way for the door.

Just as he reached it he turned and said "He's coming in alone." Then he closed the door and left me to my thoughts. I sat back and stared at the ceiling. He'd get here as soon as he pried Utau off him. I close my eyes. I had to do it. There could be no witnesses. I open my eyes as voices grow closer. I recognized them both. One was the doc's and the other was…Ikuto. I sit up. The voices stop outside my door. It slides open. But I'm already long gone.
