[color=ed1c24]"Don't you know, Death keeps up with everyone no matter how fast they run.  It's when Death catches them they finally realise that."[/color]  Akira put simply in response to the girl before he turned back to the Ring Master and took the key from him.  Akira turned it in his hand as he stared at its strange colour.  Just as the Ring Master had stated this was quiet obviously no ordinary key, its blue glow was anything but natural, even the concept of a blue key without it being coated in paint seemed rather novel.

Akira looked to the others as he gave a shrug, it seemed it had came time for them to leave the place.  He clenched his hand around his key as he moved his hand to his pocket closing his eyes as he did so.  Then he could hear it, that sharp squeak piercing its way into his consciousness with each resounding beat.  With a groan the boy reached out, feeling around for the alarm clock with his closed hand trying to swat it into silence.  As though thoughtlessly swaying around it took a while before his closed fist slammed down on the digital clock knocking the alarm off.  He slowly sat up rubbing his eyes as he looked down at himself.  He'd fallen asleep fully clothed, he couldn't even remember the last time that had happened to him. [color=ed1c24]"That... was a weird dream."[/color]  He mumbled out as he stretched his arms out in a yawn.  As he brought his hands back down, swinging softly against the palm of his hand, a key ring holding a blue key.

Akira found himself staring at the key, he didn't really recognise it, but it felt important.  He placed the key down as he started to get ready for the day ahead before grabbing it and shoving it into the pocket of his school trousers before heading downstairs.  He didn't even know what the key was for though he felt compelled to keep it on his persons.  He made himself a quick breakfast as he checked the time. [color=ed1c24]"Ugh... gonna be late."[/color] he said to himself as he held a slice a toast in his teeth and headed out the door, time to repeat another day.
