A\N: Hello! I just want to explain a few things. First, I'd like to say that this story will be explaining the Red trio's past and all that. Second, some of the characters might act different or still be the same. Third, by the time this story is finished, I will continue "The Mystery of the Red Trio". Anyway, hope you like the chapter.
Beep. Beep. Beep.
Thud. Thud. Thud.
Those were the only sounds that he could hear as he walked past hospital rooms, hidden in the shadows. Nobody was able to see him but sadly, he mused, they could feel his presence. He watched as doctors or nurses walking past him would shiver and glance around. He didn't let that stop him from reaching his destination in the hospital building though.
Normally, he wouldn't visit hospitals in the middle of the night, especially in Japan but today... today he would allow himself to do so. He had felt the girl's aura in this particular area and he had to make sure it was her. The last being to complete his plans.
But, as he reached closer to his destination, he could feel her power. His mouth watered as all of her power surrounded him. He felt like it was beckoning for him to reach her and absorb all of that power. So when he was literally a few feet away from her, he felt like breaking the door that was seperating him from reaching her but controlled that urge. After all, he couldn't have anyone else come here and ruin his plans. True, he could kill the person but it would attract attention and he didn't need any of that right now.
So he carefully opened the door quietly and entered the room. When he did, he felt like laughing with joy. He knew with no doubt that it was her. Her power signals were definitely the same as her female ancestors. He scanned the room through narrowed eyes and found her.
He walked towards some kind of bed and looked down. He saw a small baby girl with a few strands of red hair on her small head. He 'hmmm' ed before glancing down the side of the... crib? Whatever. He found a clipboard with papers. He grabbed it and scanned the first paper. Ah. He found it. Her name.
Akatsutsumi, Momoko.
He sneered at the name before putting it back in place and picked up the baby called Momoko. Said baby shifted in his arms but didn't wake up. He was relieved as he didn't have time to calm her down. Gently, he raised a finger and touched her forehead as his eyes started glowing black. All around him, the room darkened.
"Mendacium la podere aden yu tare..." He chanted, a glow surrounding him and Momoko. " Rega en oscu tan lucida, coraza la lucida creda, " by now, the hospital's lights were flickering as a lone figure stood outside the room, "la oscu, podere luz con loscu la-"
"Enough!"
He almost dropped Momoko as the room lightened, cutting of his chant. He looked at the door and saw a figure in a cloak, hands filled with fire. He cursed and not so gently threw Momoko back to her comfty bed and teleported away. Luckily he did, as he noticed fire heading his way.
Next thing he saw was the hospital building as he teleported outside in the parking lot. He growled before he punched the nearest thing close to him. That happened to be a car that then started making loud noises. He started walking down the street, deep in thought.
He hadn't finished his spell on Momoko and he had no idea what would happen to her now. But at least he could track her now like her comrades. He just hoped that nothing bad would happen to Momoko as he couldn't restart the spell without her losing her sanity in the process. But he would make sure that she wasn't led astray from the path he had created for her.
Or his name wasn't Him.
"Dang it!" The figure exclaimed as she examined the crying baby. Aside from a bump on the head, she seemed to be find. The figure sighed before they rose a hovering hand over the left side of the crying girl's head. The bump disappeared immediately and the girl's cries lessened.
The figure heard running footsteps heading their way and cursed. They lowered the silent baby to the... crib, wasn't it? Didn't matter. They put a blanket over the baby girl before opening the nearest window in the room and leaped outside.
Unknown to the figure, the silent baby, Momoko, opened her eyes to reveal two completely red eyes before turning pink and her pupils growing back to normal size. Momoko laughed and raised a small fist to the window. She slowly opened her fist and the window slammed giggled a bit before falling silent and watched with curious eyes as adults filled in the room, cries of alarm and horror expressed loudly.
Momoko yawned and went back to sleep as attention was drawn to her, being the only resident in the room for the night.
