Me: I always wondered why I never posted this fanfic. I wrote it about 2 years ago, for an essay in Language Arts. I left it in my drawers after that. It won top honors! But, you may think it's bad and that's OK with me. And how I found it? I looked through my drawers, trying to find a library book and voila! It was there. And the essay contest thing was about anything we wanted to write, so I wrote about anime. R&R!
"Father? Is there somthing wrong?"
"No Haana. Everything is all right."
"Are you sure? I thought I heard you screaming in pain!"
"Haana, I'm fine. Now go up to your room and whatever you do, don't leave it! Do you understand me?"
"Yes Father. I understand."
"Good, now up you go."
With those words, Haana went up to her room. She jumped on her bed and sighed.
"I wish I knew what was wrong and why I can't leave the house. Maybe Father is ashamed of me. And maybe Mother is too, wherever she is. Maybe that's why she left. Hmm..."
Hanna sighed.
"Please Father, don't do something that will get you into big trouble. I'm begging you!"
Little did the demon know, her mother and father made the biggest mistake that they can never take back. They had Haana. KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!! Haana sat up.
"What the-?"
"KAZU!! YOU'RE TO BE EXACUTED TONIGHT!! AND SO IS THAT DAUGHTER OF YOURS!!"
"Father and I are to be exacuted tonight? What did we do? What did I do? Oh, the pain inside!" Haana said. She heard thumping up the stairs.
"Haana!" She jumped off her bed.
"Dad!" Haana couldn't remember the last time she had called her father "Dad."
"Haana!" She opened her door.
"Dad, what's happening? Is it because I did something wrong?" Haana asked her father.
"No, it's something your mother and I did wrong. Really wrong," he answered. She gasped.
"Dad, your arm! It's- I know, my arm is wounded. But that's nothing compared to what's happening right now," he said, cutting his daughter off.
"I knew it was a bad idea to leave you in the dark about this," he said, sweating and crying. Haana never saw her father cry before.
"Dad, leave me in the dark about what?" she asked.
"I can't- I don't- I wish-" he said, not talking in complete sentences.
"Dad, our language please," Haana said.
"Well, you know how I never let you out of this house, right?" Kazu asked her. She nodded.
"Outside this house has bad and prejudice wolf demons. They hate the fox demons, as do the fox demons hate us," he started to explain. "But I never did and neither did your mother hate wolves." Haana's eyes widened.
"Dad, you mean that my mother isn't a wolf demon? She's- she's-" She couldn't finish.
"Haana, I'm sorry I didn't say anything earlier. But Saoli, she wanted you to never know the dangers of the outside world," he said, crying more now.
"But I don't understand this. Why do wolves hate foxes and foxes hate wolves? What happened?" she asked.
"I wonder the same thing each day, Haana. But your mother, she's a fox demon of course, but she was like me and you. She wondered why wolves hated her kind and why her kind hated us. She didn't see anything wrong with wolves. It's just that we're different," Kazu said.
"And... how did you two meet?" Haana asked embarrassingly. He smiled and thought back to the day he met Saoli.
"Saoli, your mother, she was one of a kind. I was walking through the forest one day, to get water for my sick papa. She was at the river, her feet in the water, and she was laughing. It was perfect weather that day, so she would be outside. I got my water, but before leaving, I asked for her name. "Saoli," she said. I told her mine. "Kazu... I love that name. Maybe we can meet again?" I nodded and had to leave."
"When did you see each other again?" Haana asked. Kazu sighed.
"Maybe five years after that. She was around the age of nineteen while I was about twenty," he said. "She was at the same river. My papa passed away that day and I had to go to the river. She was there, my Saoli. It was again day time with perfect weather. I sat next to the river and cried. I had not recognized her. She was more matured and was more beautiful than I had ever seen. She had seen me and instantly recognized me. "Kazu?" she asked. "Is that you?" I look and see the girl I had once seen before. "Saoli?" She nodded and smiled. I hugged her. "My papa, he passed away." She comforted me until I finally stopped. I had looked her in the eyes and she had done the same. I kissed her then, my Haana," Kazu said.
Haana smiled. Kazu only called her "My Haana" when he was crazy, when he was happy, or when she had done something good.
"Well, after that, we had been in love with each other. She had agreed to give herself to me and then after a few weeks, she announced she was having a baby. I was happy and worried. Babies were only allowed to be a wolf demon, a fox demon, or different full blooded demon babies, not half breeds. You are a half breed. I had agreed to take you when you were born. She had given me a last kiss and then she was gone. I had taken you home, without anyone seeing me. I had told only one person that I had a half breed baby. But that's the weird part, Haana. He's been dead for many years, maybe a week after you were born," Kazu said.
"And he probably told someone and that someone must have told another one and so on until it got to the leader's ears. And then we are to be hung tonight," Kazu said. He smiled sadly.
"But not my one and only baby girl. No, you are leaving. Tonight before the hanging," Kazu said. Haana gasped.
"But I can't, Dad! Where would I go?" He stared at her.
"My Haana, you will go to the Rekai and try to stop this mess before it gets messier."
"But I don't know where the Rekai is, Dad!"
"Your heart will tell you where it is. And if so, try to find the Fox Clan. You look too much like a fox than a wolf. And you will be able to find Saoli. She has gray eyes, as do you, my Haana. Now leave." Haana shook her head though.
"But I have a wolf tail and ears, Dad. They'll think that I am a half breed, which I am."
"Don't worry about that. Now go!!" He pushed her out the door.
"And run, as fast as those wolf legs will let you." He grabbed her arm and hugged her before she left.
"And if you see Saoli, tell her that Kazu is sorry," he said. She nodded. He let her go and Haana ran as fast as she could go.
"I love you, Dad," Haana said to herself.
"I love you, my Haana," Kazu said as he was grabbed and tackled by wolf demons. "Make me proud." And he was dragged to his grave.
Me: So, so sad. And I should let you know this now.
Haana has gray eyes, long, dark brown hair, has wolf ears and a tail, and the foxes way of getting into trouble, so I pray that Haana will be safe.
