Prologue: At the Beginning

"Oh Papa!" Six-year-old Yumoto cried in happiness as his father, Yukiteru lifted him as they danced with his mother, Natsumi, and his brother Gora.

Gora went back to his throne and smiled as his little brother ran up to him with a painting, "An-chan! I'm so glad you came to visit! Mama said you'd be here for a while!"

"Araki! Get back in the kitchen!" A voice hissed behind them as a boy with purple eyes and short brown hair peaked from the corner, he grinned as Gora pulled out a small box and necklace.

"Here Yumoto, take this. I had this made for you."

Yumoto gasped as he read the necklace. "To-together in Binan...really?! You mean I can go with you!?"

"Only if mama and papa let you." Gora smiled and inserted the necklace into the box.

Yumoto gasped, "A music box! Amazing!"

Gora smiled as he hummed along and Yumoto's eyes widened, "It plays that song!"

Gora grinned as they sang softly together and Gora spoke, "Mama and Papa may hopefully let you come home with me for a week."

Yumoto looked at his parents, they were talking with other guests still. Yumoto and Gora gasped as the doors opened and the candles and lights all went out.

Gora held onto his brother and Yukiteru walked forward, "Get out of here you tratior!"

"Why..." A man with short white hair and green eyes spoke, next to him was a taller man with dark green hair and red eyes. "I am your confidant!"

"You are nothing but a traitor, Kinshiro!" Yukiteru hissed, "Get out!"

"Get out? Queen Natsumi, I never betrayed your family."

"Kinshiro, please, just leave we want no harm!" Natsumi begged and Kinshiro shook his head, "You have removed me! I was going to make your heir have a wonderful magical life...but yet, you did that!"

Yumoto looked at Kinshiro with tears in his small red eyes as he hissed, "Mark my words...you and your entire family will die! Death will come to you by the end of the month!"

Yumoto gasped and Yukiteru turned to his family, "Kinshiro, please!"

"Enough!" Kinshiro hissed and he left with the man following him.

"Hurry Yumoto!" Gora called, "We must go now!"

Yumoto nodded, "Yes an-chan!" He called out as he buttoned his coat.

"Mama! Papa!" Yumoto called as they ran in. Natsumi looked at her youngest, "Gora...please take him away! I-I..." she hugged her child tightly.

Yumoto felt tears fill his eyes as they hugged for what seemed like forever. "Ma-mama...?"

"Yumoto...stay brave for mama, alright?"

"Yes mama."

"I love you, Yumoto. I love you so much."

"I love you too mama! More than the stars above!"

Natsumi held back tears and Yukiteru came in, "Natsumi...hurry...Gora, my son. Take Yumoto now. The crowd is coming."

"Yes papa." Gora replied and Yukiteru hugged his children tightly. "GO!"

Yumoto was pulled by Gora as they each carried a small suitcase. Gora watched as his brother began to cry as his parents ran to the other part of the palace. "Wa-wait! My-my music box!" The boy cried and Gora gasped as Yumoto tore back to his room.

As he did, gunshots were heard. Gora gasped, "Yumoto! We must leave it!"

"NO!"

"I can get another one!"

"NO!" Yumoto cried and Gora ran after his brother.

Yumoto tried to grab it from his table and as he did, more gunshots were heard. "Wait! Go this way!" A voice called and Yumoto met a boy with short brown hair and violet eyes.

"my music box!" Yumoto cried as he wasn't able to grab it, "Just go!" The boy called, "I'll find you after this and bring it!"

"Thank you...!" Gora cried and the duo ran out through the hidden door the boy opened. As they did, the door shut and people ran into the room with guns.

"Where are they boy?!"

"Gone!" the boy held the music box close to him and he cried out as he was hit in the head. He blacked out and the box stayed with him as he hit the ground.

"Hurry Yumoto! We must get the train!" Gora cried and Yumoto cried out as he was grabbed, "Kinshiro!" Gora gasped out as Yumoto hit the ground, "Let-let me go!" Yumoto cried as Kinshiro held his ankle, "Not this time! I have to get rid of you!"

"Kinshiro! the ice!" The man who was with him cried and Yumoto gasped as the ice broke under the white-haired man.

Kinshiro let go and Yumoto was scooped up by Gora. His brother stood back on his feet as they ran.

"ARIMA! ARIMA!" Kinshiro cried, "HELP ME!"

Ibushi grabbed Kinshiro and lifted him out, "They're gone now, Kinshiro..."

Kinshiro growled, "I'll get that boy...one day..."

Yumoto looked up as Gora was let on the train. Gora gasped as Yumoto's hand slid out slightly as the train began to go "wait! My brother! Pick him up! Someone!"

"A-An-chan!" Yumoto cried, "Don't let go!"

"Yumoto! I won't let you go!"

Yumoto began to sob, "An-chan!"

"Yumoto! Yumoto!" Gora gasped as the train began to speed up. Yumoto's tiny legs couldn't run as fast. He hiccuped as he sobbed, "An-chan! I'm scared, I want mommy!"

"I-I know! I know! Keep onto my hand! I'll pull you up!"

Yumoto screamed as he tripped on something, Gora screamed as his hand slid out and the boy landed hard on to his head, "YUMOTO!" He screamed as the boy blacked out with tears still falling. Gora felt himself begin to cry...he couldn't keep his baby brother safe...and he didn't see Yumoto again...

Until...ten years later...
