IF YOU ARE YOUNGER THAN SIXTEEN OR DON'T FEEL READY TO READ QUITE GRAPHIC YAOI, I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND READING THIS WHATSOEVER – THIS IS NOTHING LIKE MY ONGOING FANFIC, I CAN ASSURE YOU.

(There is a reason that message was in caps-lock and underlined.)

Okay, so this is my first Yaoi Fanfic. EVER. So once again, to my lovelies, positive and constructive criticism is welcome, and some pointers about Tiny Typos will be nice as well! Useless comments are unwanted and so on, so please refrain from doing so!

I'm also not sure how this is all going to turn out… so enjoy :)

The Flame and the Leaf

Prologue

Summer
When he woke up, there was nothing. No idea where he was, no clue why this room was so dark, no idea who… who…

… Who he was. Who was he? What was his name? How old was he? Was anyone looking for him? Did anyone know him? The questions began to repeat in his head and he clutched his head, breathing heavily. A sudden pain appeared in his wrists. His hands were shackled together. Whenever he moved, they hurt.

Why was this? Who could have done this to him? Looking around, he noticed that all he wore was a pair of black jeans. His skin, somewhat pale, had symbols marking his skin. They were blue and black. They crawled along his skin and neck, but he wasn't sure whether they were on his face or not. He glanced around. Now that his eyes had adjusted to the darkness, he could see that the small room was about the size of a dungeon cell. However, everything seemed pretty neat and tidy, despite the constant feeling that he was being watched.

Footsteps could be heard from above. And voices. "Where is he?"

"I don't know. Why'd you bring me here?"

Both voices sounded familiar… but he couldn't place them. "Rin is here. He has to be."

"Yukio… we've looked all over the place. This house is haunted – anything could pop out at us."

"Shura, please don't argue. Amaimon said he was here."

The woman's voice laughed. "And you trust him? You honestly trust Amaimon, of all demons?"

There was a pause. The footsteps grew louder and there was a knocking sound. "Here. It's hollow."

The roof above him cracked and a black-booted foot appeared, bright light obscuring his vision. A boy appeared in his view. His hair was slightly lighter than black, a very dark brown. His eyes weren't blue, but instead a mix of green and blue. Turquoise? He wore a black coat and pants. But… he knew this face. And he was angry to see it. But why was he angry to see it? He didn't even know this boy! Only that his name was Yukio…

"Rin… You're here…"

The boy offered his hand, but noticed the chains holding him down. The boy looked around and saw a key, sitting a few metres away. He grabbed it and unlocked the chains holding his wrists. He stared up at the boy with shock. "Rin? What is it?"

He said nothing, but at least he knew his name. Rin. "…"

"If you want to yell at me, do it now."

But he couldn't. He could understand every word this boy was saying, but he couldn't muster up any sort of reply.

"Rin, please. I'd been hoping you'd yell at me."

Slowly, Rin stared into Yukio's eyes and stood up, matching his height. He was even a little taller. "Who… are you?"

And so there we have it. Of course, the warning at the top of the story is necessary, since I plan to make this a very graphic yaoi. I plan to upload this similar to 'Daughter of Gehenna', which is whenever I've finished a chapter and I am able to update. (This YaoiFic becomes a little more graphic in the next few chapters...)

Thank you, have a nice day/afternoon/evening/night!
