"Olala~ And I thought you aren't going to show up... my dearest."
I opened my eyes.
I was standing in the dark room with many of mirrors. They were glittering in the darkness, creating gloomy atmosphere full of unsecurity and emptiness.
I touched the surface of one of them. Image of my face looked tired and depressed, maybe because of lack of sleep I was suffering these days.
This place...
My eyes widened and I jumped away. Face.... Smiling clown's face flashed in the mirror. Just for a second. I breathed out. Maybe it was just me imagining things.
I stepped closer.
MISTAKE.
I was pinned to the ground and hit a floor with back of my head. I closed my eyes from shock and pain.
"Oh well well.... What do we have here?" Warm breath ghosted over my neck. I tried to struggle but I was paralyzed. I couldn't move, I felt like I was in state of living coma. Cold and slender fingers stroked my cheek. I opened my eyes finally, seeing the one who attacked me.
Another mistake. Now I wished to hit a floor so badly, I wouldn't see anything.
Same face that appeared in mirror not a while ago. Clown was smiling down on me, revealing his sharp teeth. His slender face was painted white and his eyes looked like the one that cat has... they weren't surrounded with usual white. Darkest black was smiling at me. He laughed.
"Welcome my dear prince..." he purred as he pinned my wrists to the side. "Welcome in the beautiful world of real dreams..."
I tried to struggle again knowing it was pointless.
"Don't overdo yourself, Yuuji. You can't escape... look, you can't even move. Poor boy." He looked at me with played sympathy. "I have you, where you belong. Let me show you."
I shook my head, trying to make him stop when sudden jolt of pain rushed through my body. My shrieks were soundless and my tears was falling down quickly as I turned and saw dagger stabbed through my palm. Blood was spilling out quickly as he probably hit one of my veins.
"See, little one? You are just little poor toy in hands of the most powerfull. Here.... There...." He chuckled. "Everywhere. Just pointless dirt on their shoes.... and do you know what happens to something they don't want? They will let it die. Fall into abyss... Boy eaten by dispair and fear... oh so pretty..." clown laughed. "Let me show you..."
Suddenly I was falling. was dragging me down, his smiling and laughing face was everywhere.
"Time is almost up!"
Then everything faded into darkness...
****
Paris, France, 19th century
Morning sun was shining, watching over beautiful city. Slim blonde with slightly curly hair was walking down a crowded street. As long as he wasn't European, many of people around turned their heads on him.
"Beauty, yes, you! Come closer!" A leader of group of slightly drunk men called on him. He snorted.
"Not a chance..."
Leader stood shocked slightly as he heard blonde's voice. It was too deep for so fragile looking angel. He chuckled.
"Don't be so mean.... We will have some fun! C'mon!" He came closer to boy, who tried to stay calm and stepped back, closer to wall of nearby house.
"What's your name, beauty?"
"Not yout bussiness." Curly head said, glaring at older man. He wasn't that nervous as he knew that there are many of people around him. And of course, it's morning! No one would try anything in the morning.
But now, you are in France, not in Japan, Kamijo. It's completely different world!
A thought rushed through his head. He sighed. Yes, that was true.
Leader frowned. Well, this one could look obediant, but he was quite stubborn. Never mind, it would be just more fun for him. Like when a cat chase mouse.
"Angel, I'll ask you once again, what is your precious name?" He reached for boy's hand and tried to grip it. Kamijo tossed it away, stepping back again and frowned. No one in the street seemed to care about group of dunkards, who were trying something on other boy.
"Don't touch me!" he snapped.
Leader laughed silently. In instant, men pinned Kamijo to wall behind his back. Blond's eyes widened. This wasn't good. Not at all.
"Let me go...." He tried.
"Why should I?"
"If you don't want to have some problems with broken ribs, I would listen to him." A silence answer came from behind. Men turned their heads.
A little dark figure was standing there. Goth had almost girl features, pale skin and cold grey eyes. He was kind of creep but Kamijo was relieved. At least he tried to help him.
"Oh, look who is talking..." Leader laughed. "Little girl... Do you think I'm scared?"
Goth cocked his head to the side, not changing a poker face he had.
"I'm telling you one last time..." He stated calmly.
Another chuckle from leader as he came closer to man. But suddenly, a fear crept over his face. He staggered and looked at members of his group.
"We are going...." He stated, his voice trembling. Men looked confused. "But..." "We are going!" He snapped. Not after a minute after they disappeared in the mocing crowd.
Kamijo leaned against wall but jerked as he felt cold fingers on his cheek, his breath hitching in the troath. He looked at Goth, who was now too close.
"Are you okay?" He asked. Kamijo sighed and nodded.
"Yeah, thank you. You saved my ass..."
"Literally." Dark head didn't smile but Kamijo could sense a joke behind a poker face. He laughed and nervously nodded, gently tossing his hand away.
"Thank you again, but I need to go now..." He mumbled.
"Sure... " Goth was looking at him.
"Yeah... " Kamijo muttered, trying to find some good 'apologize' and leave. Goth didn't mind, obviously. He took blond's hand and kiss it.
Kamijo looked at smaller person, shocked and tried to tell something but other was faster.
"It was nice to meet you, Yuuji-kun." He whispered. "I will wait for our next meeting." He looked right into boy's eyes. "Now, you should hurry... Your friend is already waiting for you..." Kamijo could just nod, he was paralyzed by that grey rainy world inside of other's eyes.
"Au revoir, Kamijo." Goth let go of his cheek and disappeared in the crowd. Blond ran between people, looking around if he doesn't notice a dark blue head in the crowd but with no chance... He sighed and frowned.
Who the hell was that? and how the fuck did he know my name?! What does this all mean?!
"Hey, Mijo, do you ignore me?! I'm shouting on you for 5 minutes!" A hand clapped onto Yuuji's shoulder. He turned around and saw silver-head with some of his hair black.
"Oh... Teru..."
"Who else?" He asked, grinning a bit. "Don't you know your best friend? I'm dissappointed..." He pouted but soon burst in giggling.
Kamijo smirked also. Well, he can forget about that stranger for now.
"Don't play a child, Teru." He bid him to walk. "Why did you want to see me today?"
Teru stopped giggling, he was just smiling now.
"Well, you say I can't see my friend if I want to?"
"Teru, don't make a fool out of yourself... You came to tell me something, right?" Kamijo sighed and rubbed his eyes.
He knew this silver head for so long... They parents came to France together. They played together, they went to school together, they even made a pranks on teacher together... They spent all the time together. Almost. So he read in Teru like in the book. It wasn't surprise for him, when silver head nodded and sighed.
"Yes, you are right." Teru looked at Mijo with slightly shy look. "Sorry, I didn't mean to lie to you or something..." He looked down. Kamijo just smiled and petted his head.
"It's okay, don't worry, I know." He stated. "So what's the deal?"
"You know, my father died 2 months ago and today... they opened his testament..." Other boy whispered. Kamijo looked at him, sympathetically.
"Is everything okay?" He asked carefully. Teru smiled sadly and looked to higher's eyes.
"He enrolled me to army." He whispered. "Well, to Military University."
Kamijo couldn't believe to what he heard. He gasped.
"Wha-HOW?! He knew that you hate wars or battles!"
"But he also always wanted to have a son, who would enroll there... and I was the only boy in our family..." He took in a deep breath. "Look, I'm okay with it..."
No, he is not... I can see it's lie... He says that because he doesn't want to hurt me...
"But... There must be a way-"
"Kamijo." Teru looked at him and shook his head. "It's REALLY okay. I just wanted to meet you because I'm leaving tomorrow." He glanced at his shoes. "I came to say good-bye and see you. I'm leaving in two hours."
Without other words, Kamijo hugged him in the middle of street.
Some of people started to rant about them to make out somewhere else but most of them didn't mind about them.
"Hey... Mijo..." Teru tried to toss him away gently as long ad he couldn't breath properly but Kamijo didn't let him.
"Take care, kid. Don't let anyone to hurt you or something worse. You know. And eat properly."
"Mijo, are you my mom or what?"
"Nope, just your best friend, who is worried."
"Doesn't have to be." Teru chuckled. "My friend should know that I'm not a kiddo anymore and I can take a care of myself."
"I know..." Kamijo smiled and petted other's silver hair. "But promise me..."
"Okay, promise that I'll be back in one piece, okay?" Teru laughed and leaned away finally, looking into higher's eyes. "But you too, take care."
Yuuji smiled and nodded. "I will." He let him go. Teru smiled sadly and looked at his watch.
"I... It's almost time. I need to pack my things and..."
"Yeah, I know." Kamijo returned him smile. "You need to go, right?"
"Um..."
"See you soon, Teru-chan."
Teru nodded. He bowed and tunrd around, disappearing in the crowd.
"Please, don't let them hurt you..."
It was faint whisper but Kamijo hoped it could reach younger one somewhere... Anywhere.

6 months later
"Mister Kamijo..."
"Yes, it would be me. May I ask you why was I call to this office?"
Blond was sitting in police officer's cabinet. It was slightly uncomfortable since he didn't have damn clue WHY. Out of blue, an administrative letter had come, telling that he is requierd to come there immediately. And on the top of everything, those strange dreams about room full of mirrors were hunting him down more often than before. He gulped.
Maybe because I am Japanese?
Police officer just sighed. "Don't worry, you aren't accused of anything as long as I know." He smiled at Kamijo, who return him one.
"So... Why am I here?" He asked more relaxed.
Police officer turned around and opened a small box on table. He took out something like a little...
"Photo?" Kamijo was confused and strange feeling started to build up in his chest. Tense was comming back again.
Police officer nodded and look at it.
"That's why you are here." Ha said and showed a picture to Kamijo. "Do you know this person?"
Blond's eyes widened and his heart skipped few beats. He almost fainted and he got completely pale. He nodded.
"Yes..."
A face was smiling at him. Face of his best friend... Face of...
"It's Teru...."
