Sob

don't leave me. I don't want to be alone. Why did you have to go...why...? Now I'm alone. All alone. Why does people hate me ? Am I not needed ? Yes. No one needs me...No one...needs me...NO ONE NEEDS ME!

Her eyes snap open, she's use the those dreams. At first when she first had that the dream she would start sobbing and her sisters tried to comfort her it was just a dream. She sigh than look to her side seeing the clock in her desk and it was still four in the morning. This girl is Mizuki, people hated her but she didn't know why. Maybe it was because she's a demon. But her sisters loved her, telling her she's...special. But the said girl didn't find that to be true while some of her says it's true.

But she didn't quite believe it.

She stood into a sitting position and rub her sleepy eyes. Sighing. She stood up from her bed and went to the kitchen, she was still around eight years old bug could take care of herself...mostly, because her sisters always helped her. After making coffee for herself. Yes. She likes drinking coffee. She look out the window. The moon still up high in the sky. Her eyes follow the gaze of the sky, she always like the night. It's always peaceful and quiet. She slightly smile while looking at the stars .

Her family has enough money to make a house, but the house isn't so big. Now they treat her like they're slave. No, they have been treating her like that since she was little. She place the now empty glass to the counter and went outside, her Village is near a river so they could go out fishing of course.

She sit by the balcony and watch the stars closely. "I wish it's always this peaceful...Shikashi,-sōde wa arimasen... -But,it's not...-" She spoke to herself and let out a sigh.

"Marianna ! Pass the ball to me !" A boy yells and wave to Marianna.

The said girl and her friends were playing soccer while Michiru read her book on the bench. Mizuki just watch from afar not wanting to get too close, she remember the people's reaction when she gets too close to them. Frowning and sigh. The ball suddenly flew to Michiru and she caught it with her bare hands, fixing her glasses as she stood up. "Michiru ! Kick the ball !" Marianna yells and wave to her sister, she smiles at her than kick the ball awfully high. Mizuki slightly smile at the sight of them having fun and laughing and playing. But she wanted to play as well.

And she couldn't.

Marianna caught the ball and accidentally kicked it too far as it landed softly in front of Mizuki. Her eyes slightly widen as all of they're friend froze at they're spot and starts muttering stuff. It was obviously about Mizuki. "What do we do ? The ball is with the demon !" "Don't get to close to her !" "She's got those killer eyes" "I've heard her killing someone before" "yeah, such a monster !" They whisper.

Mizuki could obviously hear all of this and glare daggers at them with small tears on her eyes" I'm not a monster!" She shouts and kick the ball hard, as it went to a boy's face wounding him. Mizuki's eyes widen, and they all quickly run towards the boy.

He was badly wounded, more tears starts streaming from her eyes and she ran away. "Mizuki !" Her two sisters yell her name but she ignored them. They turn to they're friends and glare at them" why would you be friends with such a monster !?" The one who got wounded yells at them. Michiru became more irritated and yells at him "Because she's our sister !" She threw a book at his face making a small cut appear. She run back home to help Mizuki, "if you talk about someone like that you'll pay, especially if it's to my little sister...!" Marianna send a warning to them and ran home.

Mizuki starts sobbing putting her knees to her face, she lay on her bed covering herself with the cover. She heard running footsteps from afar and the sound of the door bursting open. The footsteps became slow. And the cover was opened by Marianna. Mizuki cover her face deeper into her knees. Her sisters looked awfully worried and exchange looks. "Get out..." Mizuki mumbles, the two girls could hear it loud and clear but they didn't want to leave.

As Michiru approach her she glare at her "get out...!" She said a bit harshly, Michiru flinch back but sigh "a-alright, we'll let you have some alone time, come on Marianna.." she whispers, Mizuki heard the door close than when it did she got off the bed.

she went to her desk, than grab a scissor. She frown, and point the finger at her chest. Her hands were shaking rapidly and even if she tried to do that she wasn't able to. She drop the scissor across the room and took a deep breath, her eyes were dull and sad.

As Mizuki wanted to go outside her mother notice her. She grip her hand on the door knob but as she was about to open it her mother grab her hand. "And where do you think your going ?" She ask harshly with deadly eyes. "I was j-just going outs-side..." Mizuki stutters, fearing of her mother. She click her tongue and throw Mizuki to the ground harshly "not until you tidy up you and your sister's bedroom !" She yells at her, Mizuki whimpers and slowly walk to her room. Her sisters watch the scene sadden than look at each other, nodding.

Mizuki enters her bedroom, sighing until Michiru and Marianna enters the said room. "What are you two doing here...?" Mizuki ask a big harshly but there was sadness in her voice. "We want to help !" They said in unison and smile warmly to them.

Mizuki turn to her sisters than slowly tears roll down from her eyes for some reason panicking her two sisters "M-Mizuki ! Please don't cry !" Marianna says waving her hands rapidly . Mizuki sniffs and nod wiping her tears away.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[LATER]

as they finish cleaning they're bedroom, Mizuki was allowed to go outside but not too long or else she'll be punished. While taking a walk around the village she passed by many villagers and some starts whispering about her while others became terrified. Mizuki frowns at this and look down, it started getting dark and she just left a couple of minutes ago. The area became empty because it was getting dark, obviously. Mizuki sigh than stumble in front of a Birch tree.

There was something off about the Birch tree as if something is there. She look around it until she notice a pair of red eyes.

She almost screamed but the unknown person shushed her. Mizuki look at the person confused and tilt her head to the side "dare...?" She ask. A little girl with almost white skin comes out of her hiding spot, she has long white hair with red orbs and a white dress.

"who are you and what are you doing here ?" The girl ask kindly but also a bit nervous. Mizuki gave her a slightly cold stare and say a bit coldly "I ask you first dumb weed !"

((MHT : I always call my little brother that and it has no meaning sooo...continue))

The girl didn't flinch but just stare at Mizuki for a while. Mizuki slightly glare at her and click her tongue "aren't you scared of me ?" She ask her voice soften. The girl shook her head.

"Why should I ?" She ask.

"Because...I'm a demon, I have those killer eyes and people fear me" Mizuki explains but the girl just nod slightly frustrating her. " why aren't you scared of me ?!" The girl sigh quietly than smile "because people fear me as well" she says, Mizuki stare at her with wide eyes and was speechless. "Who...are you ?"

"Sarada Yukimura" The girl says, "you can call me Yuki or Sarada, which ever you prefer". Mizuki stare at her curiously. She was...interesting.

Mizuki just a scoff which made Yuki frown a bit. "I know how you feel, Mizuki-San. You must've hate it when people fear you by those cold eyes" Mizuki's eyes slightly widen when she said her name even though she never told her, her name. "How did you-" "I saw you this morning when you kicked a ball to the kid's face" Yuki cuts Mizuki off and it made her chuckle at the memory seeing the kid being defeated by a girl... a demon girl.

"People did the same thing to me.." Yuki says slightly sadden but she kept smiling. Mizuki raise an eyebrow. Curious and confused. "People says I'm a ghost but I'm not, I'm just a normal human. Still they didn't believe me, They called me a freak and a monster just like you. So don't feel bad about it, just ignore them. Just like I did !" Yuki says and smile to Mizuki, her red orbs glowing in the night and Mizuki's ruby red orbs shone as well.

"Let'sBeFriendsMizuki-San!"

Mizuki was taken aback by what Yuki said and thought she misheard her. "Can you...say that again ?" Mizuki ask, "let's be friends Mizuki-San !" Yuki repeats what she had said. Mizuki's mouth is open agape, this is the first time...someone would actually be friends with her.

But why ? Many questions filled her mind. Why do you want to be friends with me ? Don't you think I'm a monster ? Why me ? Why not any one else ? And more other questions.

"Why do you want to be friends with me ? Why aren't you scared of me ? Have you been watching me ? How long have you been watching me ? Why me ? Why not anyone else ? Don't you fear me ? Is there any other reasons you want to be friends with me ? How come you don't want to be friends with my sisters ? Am i that special ? Why am I special ? Why aren't my sisters special ?"

Mizuki asks, Yuki puts a finger at her chin than giggles.

"woah ! That's a lot of questions so;I want to be friends with you because we're the same, I'm not scared of you because we are the same, yes I have been watching, I have been watching you since your five until now which is ten, I choose you because your special, no it's not anyone else because like I said your special, I'm not scared of you of course because people fear me as well, there is other reasons which is we have something in common and I want to get to know you better also being your first friend than your sisters, and I never said I wouldn't be friends with your sisters but maybe I can meet with them some time, yes you are special and I have a feeling we'll meet again in the near future, your special and I will tell you why in the near future, your sisters aren't because...they're different"

Yuki explains to the demon. Mizuki realize it was late "ouah ! I have to get home, I'll see you some other time !" Mizuki says in a hurry tone. Yuki nods, than Mizuki leaves. Running to her home

"I'll be watching you, Mizuki-San"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[LATER]

Mizuki was home just in time and they're parents still punished her since it was dark. But this time they only got mad and let her go because she did and kept her promise. Mizuki felt relief.

Of course ! She walk towards her room and saw her two sleeping sisters. She smile slightly than sigh. She walk up to her bed than cover herself with the bed sheets. She keep on staring at the ceiling. Did that girl really want to be friends with her ? What if she was just using her ? What if she abandons her ? Is this the right choice ? Why does people keep on saying she's special ? Soon after all this questions she drifted to sleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[LATER]

"Mingko ! Do Koni ?" Marianna shouts, still in her cheerful way. The three girls search for they're cat since it always go to the forest. Recently it hasn't come back home for three days and they grew worried except for Mizuki, it was they're mother's favorite cat, more like her only cat. Mingko has black and white fur with red eyes, strange how a cat has red eyes huh ? Like they're -Himaru- family. Though Marianna has a mixed of pink and red. Mizuki somewhat has a bad feeling about this but ignores it shaking her head slightly. "Uhm...I have a bad feeling about this-" "Mizuki ! We have to find Mingko-Kun, he's mom's most favorite and only cat ! We can't just loose one of our family member !" Marianna shouts at her and she wince. Her eyes becoming dark.

"no, Mizuki ! We didn't mean-" "your lying..." Mizuki mumbles, her face looked two girls could hear what she said and exchange looks "Mizuki, we didn't mean-" "your lying !" Mizuki yells at them cutting Michiru off as she run away, tears streaming down her eyes. The two girls yell her name as if she would come back but obviously fail.

I'm a Baka ! They were lying the whole time ! They didn't care for me ! I should've known, I should...have...k-known..! I'm such a Baka ! I should've run away a long time ago ! But instead I stayed because of those Bakas ! I SHOULD'VE DIED !

Her thoughts were cut off when she tripped on a rock, than fell inside a cave. Her head fell hard to the ground and there was a small scratch on her cheek and ankle. She look above her, the cave was deep. "Help!" She scream out, she started sniffing and her eyes became watery. "Someone! Anyone! HELP ME!" She felt scared ,her breathing starts shaking. She put her knees up to her face, sobbing. Until she heard the sound of shuffling. Mizuki slightly look up and saw huge sharp ruby red orbs. She flinch back slightly than look closely. It was a creature, the creature is like a combination of a fox and cat colored gold. It has sharp ruby red orbs. The creature sits down on the ground and put it's head down wanting a pet on the head. Mizuki slowly pets it's head and suddenly surprised Mizuki as it rolls to the side like a dog. Mizuki giggles.

((QUESTION BOARD_))

Question : why didn't Mizuki turn into a demon and fly out of the cave ?

Reason : because it would reveal her true self, even if people is already scared of her they didn't know she really IS a demon.

Question : But no one could be deep inside a forest

Reason : what if someone just walked pass the cave and suddenly saw her flying as a DEMON. Or for other reasons she hasn't been able to transform to a demon when she is a child but when she grow she learns :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[CONTINUE]

"Ne, can you help me get out of here ?" Mizuki ask and with that the creature stood up from the ground and stare at her, motioning her to get up on his back. Mizuki went up to his back but it was too high, the creature notice this and sit back at the ground letting her get to it's back. If stood up than jump high out of the cave running to where her sisters are.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[LATER]

Marianna stare at the creature with glitters in her eyes, her mouth open agape, while on the other hand Michiru stare in disbelief seeing Mizuki riding a most likely a -dangerous- cave creature. "What are you doing riding a dangerous cave creature?!" Michiru shouts pointing at the creature. Mizuki just stare at them blankly, they knew why Mizuki is like this. They frown and sigh "Mizuki..." Michiru whispers softly hug the said girl ignores them again, "Mizuki..." Michiru almost yells, Marianna looks at them in concern. "Mizuki...!" Michiru now getting frustrated "Mizuki!" "NANI?!" Mizuki screams at them as they flinch back. Mizuki realize what she did and slightly tear up.

((MHT : actually when something makes me...er...like that, I would not respond to him/her and ignore him/her the -almost- whole day, and Mizuki cries often, huh ?))

((Mizuki : o-oi/!))

"Mizuki..."Marianna spoke, Mizuki sniffs than turn to her trying to glare but obviously failed. "Before...it's not that we don't love you..oh, Mizuki... your special, that's why we love you" She continues her voice cracking, Michiru watch the scene and slowly starts tearing up as well. "Your l-lying...!" Mizuki tries yelling at them her tears already streaming down big.

"Mizuki..." Michiru mumbles sniffing.

The creature lays down on the ground, and Mizuki got off of it. "Gomenasai..." suddenly they heard Marianna mutter, they turn to her with still tears on they're eyes. "It was my fault...!" She cover her face with her hands and fell on her knees to the ground. Michiru run up to her while Mizuki stare at her in concern, the tears slowly stopping.

"I made you feel l-like this...gomenasai...Mizuki...gomenasai...I'm a terrible sister..." her slow whispers fill the air. "No, I'm sorry Marianna..." Mizuki says softly, the two face up to her.

" i should've ran away like that, I'm...sorry" she simply says, suddenly she was welcomes with a warm embrace realizing Marianna had hugged her. Mizuki burry her face into her shoulder sobbing as Marianna pet her back. Michiru just watch the scene smiling, than sigh.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[LATER]

"are you sure we should bring...er...it home with us?" Michiru ask, looking awkwardly at the creature while Mizuki just stare at it boredly. Marianna grins widely and spoke "yeah! Look at it! It doesn't have a home and it doesn't know where to go..." while listening to what Marianna is saying Michiru and Mizuki heard the sound of ruffling than saw that the creature is gone. They exchange awkward looks as they turn yo Marianna "... and that's why we should keep IT!" She exclaims, "uhm...Marianna ?" Michiru calls as Mizuki points behind Marianna to realize the creature is gone.

"eh? EHHHH?!" She scream.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[AFTER SEARCHING THE CREATURE]

"awww ! It ran away!" Marianna whines."the creature's name is actually an Foxcet but some people would call it Cox , well it's only because the creature is a combination of a cat and fox" Michiru explains Mizuki sigh, than went looking for they're mother's cat with Michiru following from behind and Marianna just talking to herself. Marianna realize she was all alone but heard the sound of ruffling bushes, she knew it was Mizuki and Michiru"o-oi, chotto matte !" She yells running from behind, it was getting dark. The sky colored a golden red with dark blue.

the sound of ruffling caught the three's attention.

when they turn around they saw they're cat laying down on a rock sound a sleep until they came and it's eyes snap open. "Mingko !" Marianna squeals and gave the cat a bear hug as Michiru and Mizuki sweat drops. Mizuki sigh in relief the cat isn't gone but more of her says who cares about the cat ? "We should get back, it's getting dark.." Michiru says and the two nods...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[LATER]

he raise his hand hand to shape her in the face. He slap Mizuki as she fell to the floor, "why you...how many times do I have to tell you we are not aloud to go to the forest! Who cares about the stupid cat?! Your mother could just...just buy a new one!" He yells at her furiously and glare daggers to her eyes, she whimpers trying to stand up but fail.

"I've had enough of you..."he mutter loud enough that the demon could hear it. He walk over to his desk and grab something, Mizuki knew what it was. It was a knife. He turn around to face her and a wicked grin place itself in his face. He slowly walk up to Mizuki as she stood up forcefully and walk back only to be blocked by a wall.

She stare at him with terror in her eyes, her breathing was shaking. He raise his knife ready to kill the demon, he bring down the knife and Mizuki shut her eyes close. Waiting for the pain but...

It never happened.

the world became slow and when Mizuki open her eyes, a familiar pink haired stood in front of her. Her eyes widen when she realize who it was, Michiru. "Gomenne..." she whisper her last word, blood fell everywhere to the walls and floor. The blood covered Mizuki's white dress and almost her face. The knife he was holding covered by Michiru's blood. Her lifeless body fell to the floor.

Her glasses fell across the room. He click his tongue and walk away not feeling guilty or anything. Tears stream down Mizuki's cheek. She fell on her knees than stare deeply into her sister's lifeless body, Marianna saw the whole scene and stare in horror frozen at her post, by the door.

"M-Michiru..." Mizuki whispers her breathing shaking even more and her tears stream down faster and bigger. "Uso...this is a joke right...Michiru..." Mizuki says shaking the lifeless body slowly and softly but there was no respond. Marianna is already crying in the inside and of course Mizuki is even more. "No...no..no..no..! Michiru...?...Michiru..!" She yells her tears falling towards the lifeless body, the skin became awfully pale almost white and the body became cold. Mizuki blames herself for this, if Michiru...if she didn't...than she creams...

"Michiru!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[THREE MONTHS LATER]

as Marianna plays on the swing with Mizuki who just sit at the swing looking down, at the cliff.

Marianna is playing on the swing happily while Mizuki, she couldn't get the memory off of her head. That memory. It ruined her life. Now her parents are even harsher than before to her. Locking her in her own room without food or drink or anything.

Marianna notice her sister looking down and stop playing the swing and turn yo her with her bright smile. "Daijōbu, Mizuki ?" She ask kindly, Mizuki didn't reply but just give a small nod. This worried Marianna. She sigh. "Too bad Michiru... died..." she mumble, the word stroke Mizuki hard and her eyes became dark. "It's alright Mizuki, now she's at a better place..." Marianna whispers softly looking up at the sky.

Slowly tears stream down Mizuki's eyes but she quickly wipe it away before her sister could see it. She heard a giggle from Marianna and turn to her. She was smiling than she poke her nose. "Tag ! Your it !" She says and run away before Mizuki could do anything. Mizuki sigh and stood up running after her sister, and tag her. They continue playing tag and this time Mizuki is feeling happy. As Marianna became close to the edge of the cliff...

"Tag ! Your it!" Mizuki shouts but accidentally push Marianna, her eyes widen and quickly grab Marianna's hand before she fell to her death. "Mizuki..." Marianna whimpers in fear. Mizuki couldn't hold on longer than she have to. "Don't go,Marianna!" She yells. Marianna looks down with small tears coming down. "Let go..." she whispers to Mizuki.

"Eh ?"

"let go.."

"no.."

"it's alright,Mizuki.."

"No !"

"Please Mizuki,Let go..!"

"I won't loose anything ever again!"

"let go so I could be with Michiru..."

slowly her her grip on Marianna loosen and her hand is slipping away, "no..." she mumble. Marianna was letting go of her hand. "No...no..no..!" Her hand slipped and Marianna fell "Marianna !" Mizuki screams and reach her hand out for her even though it's too late. Marianna glance at her one last item and smile.

"see you soon, Mizuki.."

Father shoves me to the hard ground. Pain rushed into my back as he pointed a knife to my neck. "I'm only giving you one last chance!" father said harshly. He walks away, still leaving on the ground with wounds and scars on my body. "We should've thrown her out!" I heard father shout to mother. "I know, but it's best if we give her one last chance. If she does it again..." Mother said. I could hear their foot-steps, walking towards their room. the door was slammed shut.

I slowly stood up, but the feeling of pain was rushing to my body, making me fall back to the ground with my knees. "This is all my fault..." I cried. Small tears falling to the floor. "Why wasn't I the one who died..." I rubbed my eyes, sniffing. It was my fault that Marianna fell off the cliff. It was my fault that Michiru took my place so I wouldn't die... Would they love me more if they weren't dead? Do they love them more? I ignored my questions and slammed the door open. I rushed out of the house. 'This is it! I'm leaving!' I thought.

I lay at a boulder, whimpering in pain until I heard someone meow. Beside me was my mother's cat " it's you again. You almost scared me." I said to the cat. He meowed back. "Wouldn't mother worry if you were gone?" I ask. He tilted his head as if he was asking what I was doing. "It's okay. Mother and father wouldn't care if I was gone." I replied. That's when the cat started walking. 'It wants me to follow him...' I thought as I stood up from the cold, green grass. We reach back at the village seeing that it was somehow burned down. Fire was storming the village. My eyes went wide in shock. 'What happened here!?' I gasped.

"There she is! She's the one that burned down the village!" a villager shouted pointing at me. I became scared and confused, and took a few steps back. "She burned her own village! I saw it with my own eyes!" another villager shouted. Small tears fell down my cheeks as I turned around and ran away from my village. I was a fire demon. I was hated for not being able to control my powers. 'Gomennasai...' I apologized in my head as I ran through the woods.

Now that you know my past, that is why. People can't help and change me. No one will be friends with me. That is why I work solo, by myself. I don't need help. I don't need anyone and no one needs me...

It hurts... everything hurts...
