Lost in the Dark...

This ring... The purple flames that light from the core of my resolution... The power hidden within these purple flames... Are they limitless? A thought lost in the mind of some one who's only resolution is to use this power to make money just to live on a boring life with an endless cycle. A change in the mind of the one person who might be able to do "that" if he were to draw out his power through the rings that allow him to light his flames. As a dream flowed deep into the heart of Daichi one night in his sleep, a dream of a powerful purple flame that could change the very nature of his power... And his selfish, cold resolution. The dream becomes more strange to him as the flame grows stronger and shows what seems to be animals with all sorts of other things. As the visions of power grew strong in the true core of this dream something was pushing Daichi closer to awakening when he was so close to understanding the importance of his flames of the purple clouds. While the lone Hit-man walks inside the walls of a dream toward the purple flames that he ignored even though he used them so frequently, he sees something he never saw before within the core of the dream, the core of the flames, the core of everything. Within the purple flames he sees something he could never of imagined to be within such a lifeless flame powered by a cold resolution. The dream ends there before he could truly remember what he saw leaving not only himself clueless to what he saw, but all who may see this.

As Daichi awoke he lay sweating with heavy breathing as he looked around his room seeing the difference between the world of dreams and the real world, yet with a strange feeling about the dream he had just had he lay still in shock. Not even sure exactly what he had seen he picked up his glasses lifting slowly to his sweat covered face stopping as he remembered that he should take a shower before putting his glasses on or they would get wet. Looking around the room one more time studying his desks bookshelf, and table still unsure of what he had seen. Getting up slowly his body covered in bandages from his constant fighting and missions his entire body was sore rarely giving himself a break. Standing up looking toward the door with a slight headache then walking over with a look of unsureness. Approaching the door reaching his hand out with a sigh of relief as he thought about the dream being over his hair kind of blowing in the wind made by a fan that was on the desk placed near the door. With a lazy kind of movement he opened the sliding door then proceeding to the bathroom to shower. Going into the bathroom rather awkwardly and taking off his clothes to shower Daichi felt kind of humid.

Entering the shower steadily with his bandages having been removed a moment ago so that he could let his wounds wash off in the water. Turning on the shower with the water firing at him with a gentle spray that seemed like the morning rain he knew so well in the spring while picking up a bar of soap. Watering pouring all over his wounds it kind of bothered by at the same time it was extremely relaxing for Daichi to have the water pour on his wounds. "What was with that dream..." He whispered to himself as he washed up in the water cleaning himself with the soap. Shutting the water off Daichi stepped out of the shower and got his towel planning to dry himself off. After drying off Daichi went to his room and got his clothes while he put on his glasses. Putting his clothes on Daichi got his phone and checked the weather for today. Peeking his head outside he saw the rain drizzle then walking out ignoring it as he walked out almost forgetting his boxes and ring making him have to run back inside to get them.

"Can you hear it?" A voice said echoing inside Daichi mind slowly sending a deep fear into the heart of some one who is know to be fearless for the most part. "What... Who said that?!" Daichi said with a confused look as he had finished putting his ring on and putting his boxes into the jacket of his suit. A cold chill came upon Daichi as his ring lit with out him trying to turn on his flame and the voice echoed louder. "So you can hear it... Awaken the flame..." Those words echoed in Daichi's head as he start thinking about if the dream he had had was linked to this in anyway. "Awaken the flame...?" He said confused and frustrated with a feeling of a heartlessness consuming him as the voice seemed to just fade away into the dark. It seemed that Daichi had fallen to the floor during this time his eyes closing being pulled into a deep sleep. Waking up in the dark still inside a dream as he stand again looking around. There in the center of the dream the flame grow larger and brighter.

"That... Is the first step to you learning the true power of this flame..." As the words reached Daichi he couldn't truly understand what was going on it seemed there was something wrong here, but Daichi couldn't figure it out. What does it mean by "That"...? Daichi thought with a confused look and a tired feeling of wanting to just relax. To just get away from what was going on in this dream is what he felt like doing as he continue to think. Does it mean!!! As the thought suddenly crossed his mind the flame flashed and exploded transforming into a larger brighter purple flame as if responding to Daichi's thoughts. "Awaken the flame..." Daichi said lighting the his ring with his flame and throwing his fist into the flames as white light flashed throughout the dream. The light bright and white Daichi awoke the flame on his hand grew more pure, more powerful. It was different some how, it felt better then before to him. It was like it was something else but he didn't know how it had changed when all he had done was awakening from a troubling dream, yet even that troubling feeling had vanished slightly...

Walking past the chirping birds that eat the bread a old man passes down to them. Looking forward and continuing to walk without any hint of hesitation. The sun beating down on the pale skin of a young hit-man who only thinks of money and the power it takes to make that money. His interest in the power of the flame that he has had for so long has grown thanks to a recent dream and discovery. Unknown to this young hit-man his flame will not last long unless he takes the time to truly understand his discovery. It is a incomplete dream that he has seen one that has not yet finished its appearance in the mind of the Hateful hit-man, In the Mind of Daichi. Seeing the cloud in the sky Daichi felt something strange but even so he continued to walk approaching the seemingly abandoned building which was a home for the local Japanese mafia that had been getting in the way of the Vongola in Japan.

Sneaking in the building through a window at the side that was open letting in fresh air from outside. As he peered inside the building a bit before actually jumping in through the window he saw something strange three dead men tied to a pole inside. All three where members of the Vongola from the emblem on their suits. "What the hell happened here. Whatever it was their lives are over for screwing with the Vongola..." Daichi said slightly shocked going in through the window with a look of despair. Jumping down into the building he walked slowly as the floor around him creaked and the sound of the glass being scratched by a knife seemed like the screech of an innocent woman. Walking down a set of stairs ever slowly he looked around till he was knocked unconscious by an unknown threat. Daichi awoke a few hours later tied to a chair with a group of mafia surrounding him.

"What the hell did you do to the Vongola!" He yelled as he tried to move out of the chair unable. In response to his yelling the the men opened the drawer of a desk next to Daichi taking out a pair of brass knuckles. Lifting Daichi's head they began to punch him beating him into a near death state as they yelled for him to shut his mouth and that they didn't need to tell him a thing. Blood drips down the side of his face as he pushes a box of of his jacket down into his hand then lighting his ring and trying to open the box.It won't open!? He thought in shock as the box failed to open even after attempting to open it another 3 or 4 times. Am i going to die here... No i can't yet... He thought near panicking as he kicked his feet up and caused the chair to fall back then kicking one of the men and biting the rope loose. "I can't die yet... I won't die yet!" He said standing up while coughing up blood his glasses cracked.

As the light begins to fade from his eyes he loses himself as the flame enters his eyes. "You won't be able to use it till you truly understand..." The light pours slowly back into his eyes that became lifeless for a few moments as he learned he could no longer use his flame. "Why...?" He asked as his eyes became a bright blood red looking at the men with a cold dead look. Suddenly! He began to run at one of the men who started to fire off his gun. He dodged to the side like a fading cloud moves away from the sun so the light can shine through. Jumping at the man he grabbed his arm and broke it with a twisting force, then kicking him into the other enemy mafia men. As they fell to the floor he approached with a cold sick smile beating them to death while laughing.

Moving away from a pile of bodies he stepped outside of the small room in the building only to be surrounded by an army of men with a boss waiting in a seat watching everything as if it was some kind of game. They rushed at Daichi armed with weapons of all kinds bats, guns, anything you could think of. There was no fair in his eyes as he saw this though, only a hint of slight insanity as he went at them all. With a hard punch to the face he took down not just the one he had hit but 3 other men. Picking up a broken pipe that lay on the floor Daichi went after the men. With a powerful swing he had broken the skull of one man that charged after him with a knife. The blood splattered all over his clothing as he continued to mercilessly beat men to death with the led pipe. Laughing at the deaths of the men who came at him he threw the pipe killing many, Yet that's when they began to fire at him. There was no way he would be able to survive gun fire empty handed even if he had made it this far.

As a shower of bullets came down towards him he looked at his ring with the box containing his handgun sitting the palm of his hand. Time slows as a young boy shows his fear trying to light a flame that has begun to fade. "Light..." His voice whispers as he tries to light the cloud flame which his life now depends on. "Please light..." He whispers as the bullets draw ever nearer with a feeling of this being the last moment life will come from his body, the last time he breaths air, the last time he can see the sun shine. "LIGHT!!!!" He screamed as the bullets flew at him with less then a second before impact. The ring lit bright with a purple flame stronger then before, but yet a feeling of the flames fading about to take place put fear all through out his body. Opening all his boxes in a panic and kicking his buckler shield at bullets then slicing the others with his knife he had a feeling of relief. He disappeared the shield flying at one of the men shooting and knocking him out. Out of nowhere, All the men died leaving the boss of the enemy family alone in the center. "It's your turn to visit the after life..." Daichi said putting the gun to the back of the man's head and pulling the trigger. With this it was over his body was torn apart from the beatings he had gotten and he was no longer able to move he collapsed falling into a deep sleep. "Your flame will fade if you do not see it..." A voice said echoing in his mind as he could no longer move laying the floor asleep...
