Episode 1 (Kaito)

In our world there was no such thing as light. Everyone always fight each other. Some people team up with other people and some people resort to killing other people. There was not a lot of food or water to survive but somehow we did manage to live and that was thanks to our friendship. But lately our friends were running off somewhere and were keeping secrets from us. Now slowly our friendship was starting to shatter.

"Kaito when will we leave this place?" my younger brother Ryo asked me.

"I don't know..." I answered.

Ryo gripped my hand tighter.

"I wish mom and dad were still with us..." I heard Ryo mutter.

I didn't say anything. It had been years since our parents were killed by their rivals. The main reason was because they were hungry for more power and thought that our parents were a threat to them. In fact they would even sacerfice their own friends just so they would stay safe.

"Kaito look!" Ryo yelled as he pointed his finger at our friend Shino who abandoned us a long time ago.

We saw him talking to our rivals known as Killers. We hid behind a wall and heard a very shocking truth which cause my eyes to widened in shock. Shino was actually a spy from Killers.

I felt really betrayed. He lied to us about everything.

"Kaito what are we going to do now?" Ryo asked me.

I just stood silent. I never once thought that our own friends would betray us like this. I thought we could trust them but now I realized I was very wrong about them.

"Kaito?" Ryo called out again.

"Ryo I want you to promise me something" I told him.

"What do you want me to promise?" Ryo asked me.

"Ryo my dear brother I want you to not search for me if I don't come back...I don't want you to be put in danger" I told him.

"Kaito what do you mean?" Ryo asked me.

I took out my knife from my pocket and handed it to Ryo.

"Kaito why are you-" Ryo started

"Ryo I want you to keep this knife for me and not hand it to anyone" I told him.

"But what about you?" Ryo asked me.

"I will survive..." I said.

"Kaito..." Ryo said.

"Ryo go" I said.

"But-" he started.

"Please go Ryo and don't look back" I said.

Ryo nodded and ran. I walked toward Shino and the rest of the members of Killers.

"So this was what you have been doing after you left us" I said.

"Kaito I can explain..." Shino said.

"Then do it!" I yelled.

Shino backed away with fear.

"Kaito I didn't want you to be harmed...They told me that if I didn't leave yoj and join them they would kill you and the rest of our friends" Shino said.

"You little brat I will kill you for telling him that" the leader of Killers Seino yelled.

I Seino grabbed his knife and swung it at Shino but I caught it before it touched Shino's chest.

"You had some nerve for turning my friend against me and trying to kill them..." I hissed.

"And are you going to do?" Seino asked me.

"I am going to make you pay dearly for it" I said.

Seino laughed.

"You make me pay? Only a fool would challenge someone they could not beat" he said.

"Don't get so cocky..." I said.

At moment two men grabbed my arms.

"It is time for you to die" he said.

I closed my eyes. I am so sorry for leaving you Ryo.

I waited dor the pain to come but it did not come. I opened my eyes and saw Shino laying on the floor surrounded by a pool of blood.

"That guy was a idiot...If he didn't intervene then he would have lived..." Seino said.

"SHINO!" I yelled.

I pulled my arms out of their grip and kicked punched them. I then walked toward Seino and punched him hard in the stomach. Seino coughed out blood.

"You will pay..." I said.

But before I could do anything to him a knife plunged through my stomach and caused me to fall to my knees.

"You shouldn't have gotten involved. Now you will die a slow and painful death" Shay a boy who I thought was a friend said.

"There will be someone who will stop you" I said with pain.

"Prehaps but that person will meet his end quickly" Shay said.

I clicked my tounge and crawled to Shino's lifeless body.

Shay...I swear on my dead best friend Shino you will pay for all the sins you committed" I said.

"We will see...Now goodbye my friend" Shay said.

I closed my eyes and prayed that Ryo got away and is safe. I hoped he would save the other people who were caught in this mess and bring an end to this dark age...
