Time had passed in a way that seemed indiscernible to the redhead. It was like months had gone by in a blur and he couldn't exactly remember anything that had happened in the spaces in between. Maybe because nothing had happened or maybe because those days were so clogged and blurred with confusing emotions that he couldn't pick out one event from another. Interestingly enough, nothing seemed clear to the assassin at this point other than the fact that he was walking down the middle of an empty road barefoot and in his pajamas.

The streets were empty, the parks were empty and everything else felt and seemed... empty. Abandoned. The whole city was abandoned and he was the only person left to face it, or at least that's the way it seemed so late at night. Upon closer inspection, however, not even a stray dog or cat breathed a sound in the dark... it was all too quiet, like the silence that took place before a storm.

And then, something moved. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a shadow shift and move down a parallel street just ahead. Whatever it was, it had moved suspiciously fast like it had been watching him and didn't want him to know. Danger was high inside the leader's brain and without much of a reason behind his actions, he gave chase to the shadow figure.

Coming round the bend, Ran barely caught sight of the target disappearing around another corner and into an alley. Who the hell moved that fast? He continued to rush after it like a cat would chase a mouse, yet something was off. He wasn't moving fast enough- his movements were slow and groggy like the air was made of syrup and it was slowing him down.

Anger and frustration at his inadequacy built up inside of the Weiss kitten to the point that he was about ready to scream when he finally managed to step foot inside the alley. The thing he’d been chasing was much faster than normal people and there he was, trying to catch it while moving much slower than normal people. What the hell was going on anyway? Did someone slip drugs into his tea last night? Who would do such a thing? He was home all last night... wasn't he? Why was nothing clear…?

The alley, being lit by only moonlight, made the shadows seem darker because his eyes weren't adjusting like they should. The ground was sticky beneath his bare feet and he cringed at the feeling of the city's filth on his bare skin. The city was such a dirty place, why was he still living there? Why hadn't he taken the time to move yet? Was there really a reason for him to keep going on like he was?

When Ran’s eyes adjusted a little, he spotted the shadowed shape at the far end of the alley, hunching over something. More determined than ever, the swordsman carefully jogged down the narrow pathway while clutching his katana in one hand. Where had THAT come from? The figure shifted again and Ran suspected it was one of those dark beasts he always hunted and killed on missions, he was sure of it and because he was sure of it, the beast had to die. No one would miss another corrupt creature being put to rest for a good cause anyway.

The alley must have been much lengthier than he had realized for it was taking him a lot longer to reach the other side and by the time he got there, the shadow was already in a defensive posture. It was ready to fight, proving Abyssinian's theory about the figure being just another criminal in the night.

With the Katana drawn, the white assassin rushed forward and slid the sharp piece of metal neatly through the target like a hot knife through butter. The push in and the pull out was sickeningly easy and strangely satisfying until the person fell to the ground and then into the light.

Yohji.

The paler man was filled with sudden horror. This whole time… he had been chasing Yohji. How the hell...? What? What was going on?

"Ran...?" Emerald eyes were staring up at him, wide with shock and something like sadness, "What have you done?" His voice wavered as he desperately held his wound, trying to stop the bleeding but failing miserably in the process.

What had he done, indeed. Ran was so aghast at his own actions that he couldn't even summon the energy to so much as move. He had just stabbed his teammate, the very teammate he had already betrayed. Why?

"I... I didn't know!" The younger finally managed, falling to his knees with shaking hands that were trying to figure out how to help the bleeding person before him. So much blood. So much blood everywhere, soaking the ground they were sitting in while staining Ran’s pajama pants with its inky blackness. Blood was black in the dark.

"Yes you did!" Yohji screamed at him, tears falling from those large eyes like the accusation falling from those soft lips. Soft lips?

"I swear I didn't! Yohji, I-"

"You're a horrible person!" The blond continued, as if he hadn't heard anything Ran had just said, "You've killed me! This is all your fault!" The older man slumped towards the ground with eyes angrily staring at their murderer, "How could you?"

And with that he exhaled and died. No gasping for breath, no apologies or confessions... just allegations, questions then death. How... horrible.

"He loved you, you know." a voice from Ran's right broke in as its owner crawled out from the dark and into the light by Yohji's head.

Aya-chan.

What the hell was Aya-chan doing in an alley late at night? Had she run away and Yohji was looking for her? How did Yohji find Aya-chan? Why did Aya-chan run away? How... why... what?

"What are you talking about?"

Aya's sweet little face morphed into the angry face of teenage girl, showing nothing but contempt for her idiotic brother. "He loved you and you killed him. You didn't deserve his love... you don't deserve anything. You’re a horrible person."

"Aya-chan!" He gasped but it was too late, she was rising to her feet and walking out of the alley, brushing by yet another figure who had suddenly appeared in front of him to stare at the crime he had committed. What was going on?!

"Tsk Tsk." The voice was slow and drawn out in amusement, "Everyone hates you now... isn't it about time you killed yourself?"

In retrospect, it was the face of Schuldig that caused Ran’s eyes to snap open as he sat up in bed from the nightmare. God, it was just a nightmare. A fucking horrible nightmare that had forced the man’s blood to run cold and his heart to slam against his ribcage while sweat dripped down from a vastly pale face. Eyebrows drew together and slowly, the assassin turned to his right to look at the clock sitting on his nightstand.

6:35 am. Friday Morning.
