Don't Believe What You See

Dark Alley

You were walking home in the dark alone, having to stay back for practice. You were tired but satisfied even though it would be the last time you were going for the practice. You had decided to quit after all. You couldn't possibly cope with classes, the mafia 'game' and baseball practice all at once. A sacrifice needed to be made. Surprisingly enough, you didn't feel bad giving up on baseball. You wondered why.

You hummed a song under your breath, taking a short cut as you shifted the baseball bat on your shoulder. You had left Shigure Kintoki at home, seeing that the bat your best friend's tutor gave can shift into a katana, for whatever reason you never contemplated.

It was a good day, but it wasn't anymore the moment you took a step into the dark alley.

1. A man stood at the side of the wall, smoking, figure shadowed.

2. A creature stood at the end of the dark alley, growl rumbling with flames heavy in the air.
