A Shadow's Light

Light will fade as the darkness grows stronger

Sting's tears dripped onto the cold, hard concrete, splattering upon contact; breaking the silence like water leaking from a tap. He was gone. Rogue was gone. 

Sting...

Immediately, Sting's head snapped up. He heard his voice. It was there. He's not imagining things. Rogue was still here.

St-ing.. He-re....

Sting let out a scream of frustration, looking around for the voice, before finally noticing black hair flowing from the corner of the alleyway.

Follow.. Sting..

" Rogue, please! Wait! " Sting yelled as the figure moved away from the alleyway, Sting chasing after it straight away. As he turned the alleyway, Rogue's figure stood at the end of the street with Sting quickly on his tail.

By now, the sky had cleared and the clouds were now very few. But still, Sting took no notice. He remained dedicated and focused on  Rogue alone. Stumbling constantly, Sting ran at his full speed, even in his condition, after the one he thought he lost.

Rogue stopped moving. He stood at Sting's door to his apartment and a smile etched it's way onto Sting's lips. He ran up behind him, clearly panting and out of breath, in motion to wrap his arms around his slender body.

" Oh Rogue, I missed you so much. Don't ever lea-- " His sentence was cut off as he wrapped his arms around his torso, only for Rogue to disappear is a cloud of smoke. " R-Rogue..? " Sting's anxiety grew, tears forming at his eyes as Rogue's voice echoed in his head again. 

Sting.. Enter..

And he did. Kicking the door open, as if he were Natsu, he ran into the building and up the stairs. He searched the entire apartment. 

Nothing.

Until he got to his bedroom, of course. Sting looked down, glancing at a note that lied still halfway under his bedroom door. " What have I got to lose? " He spoke to no one in particular, leaning down and picking up the note with a sigh.

" Dear Mr. Eucliffe,

I wish to meet you, boy, but I warn you, I am more than a mere mortal such as yourself.

Meet me at the old oak tree early tomorrow. "

No signature no nothing. And you know what Sting just thought?

" Whatever. "

---- TIME SKIP: ONE WEEK ----

Notes have been flying in by the hundreds. Everyday, there would be at least twenty or so letters posted and left over the entire apartment.

" You've got to be kidding me?! " Sting snarled in anger, holding back his frustration to yell out. Marching across the apartment, he picked up and shredded every paper; not even bothering to read their contents.

He breathed out his fury, grumpily sitting on the edge of his bed with a distinctive frown. " Why do I try? " Sting mumbled under his breath, only to himself.

" Me? Try? Ha! Hahaha! " Sting cackled at the thought, soon turning it into maniac-like laughter, laughing at the top of his lungs. " I don't need it anymore.. Light? Tch. You weren't there when I needed you, why should I return the favour? "

A devilish grin made it's way onto Sting's facial features, snickering darkly. " Balance of Yin and Yang is no more.. Ha ha ha! The light has started to fade, as the darkness grows stronger! More! More powerful! "

BAM! (And the dirt is gone.)

The echoing bang of a frying pan echoed throughout the small apartment, as Sting glanced down angrily at Lector.

" What the hell, Lector?! " Sting screamed, rubbing the sore at the back of his head, mumbling a string of colourful words under his breath. " Sorry, Sting-san. You were evil! " Lector replied, cheerfully. Almost too cheerfully.

Silence filled the room before Sting grumbled again. " You enjoyed that, didn't you? " 

Lector replied in the usual cheery voice. " I did. Quite a lot "

A/N: Sorry for not updating in a whole month! I had to do so much things during school, things should start to pick up now.

P.S: I'm going to put His Name Is Kody on hold and start a new book containing Michael, Archangel of Heaven and Lucifer, Commander of Hell. It WILL be a BoyxBoy, since there are no books that I can find of containing them and I LOVE Lucifer so. :) So yeah, if you want to be hosted in that, inbox me for more info.
