-Five Years Prior to the Series-

Yoji's heart was pounding against his ribcage as he rushed down the darkened hallway. Strands of blond hair whipped about his head as sweat trickled down his face and his breathing was ragged. His glasses had fallen away in his desperate hurry yet he failed to care about such minor details. Fear gripped him as his his orbs locked upon a shadowed door at the end of the hallway and he slowed as he closed the distance between himself and the door.

His hands slipped with sweat as he attempted to grip the rusty door knob and he cried out with frustration. He pulled his sleeves over his hands before he brutally twusted the door knob around untilhe heard a click. With a soft nudge, the door slowly creaked open before bright light washed over the young man he stepped into the lighted room while he glanced quickly around, his voice came out in an anxious whisper, "Where is he?! I know I heard him scream from this direction!"

He rummaged around the room, he pulled cushions up from the dusty chairs and he threw the drapes to the side. He was beginning to panic when he heard a soft groan and he whirled around to stare at a dark corner. He took a step forward to gain a better view before he gasped in horror, "Neko!"

There laid a bleeding boy, his once blonde hair turned red from the deep gash upon the top of his head and his pale blue orbs were half open. Deep cuts criss-crossed along his arms and bruises were evident upon his once beautiful face. His clothes were torn, this revealed the bleeding wounds that were hidden by his mission pants and special protective padding. His crossbow laid broken at his feet while one of his own arrows was buried deep within his chest, mere centimeters away from damaging his heart.

Yoji rushed to the boy's side yet he knew it was too late to save his young friend, Neko had lost too much blood and moving the blonde would cause harm from the arrow which was lodged within him. The older blonde merely stroked the boy's face while he whispered soothing words to ease the pain of death and his orbs watered as he watched the life slowly fade from pale blue orbs.

Balinese barely glanced up when he heard the foot steps of the other Weiss members rushed to the area and he barely noticed when they cried out at the image of their wounded youngest member. He only stood and shuffled pass them, "He's dead."

Aya watched as the eldest Weiss assassin left the room before he gazed at the horrified Ken. He sighed before he relunctally removed a cell phone from his pocket and dialed a number he knew by heart before he awaited for an answer. The red head only had to wait for three rings before a female's voice rang through from the other side.

"Hello?"

"Manx, we have a situation."

"What happened?"

"Calico died. We need to start Operation Bombay."

"Understood."
