Each heart beat echoes in her ears, almost as if her hearing is turned on MAX. Her bloody eyes flutter open. She takes a moment before she puts her hand on the side of her cocoon; pushing her hand through, she breaks free making cold winter air flow through the hole.
The iciness of the air doesn't stop her from pressing forward with her body. Suddenly the cocoon busts open, sending the queen falling to the rocky ground, she yelps as her bare body falls in the dirt and rock. She finally breaks free of her eternal prison. She gradually raises her head and looks around, only to see a cave.
The breeze starts to pick up and blows inside the moist cave; she looks towards the wind and sees whiteness as far as the eye can see, diamonds lay on the surface, making it sparkle. More whiteness rains down from the heavens, blowing into her resting place.
She quickly looks to her left as the smell of some intoxicating aroma incases her nose. To her left she sees a vile of red liquid, she slowly crawls towards the vile. She grabs it and opens it; the smell is now more overwhelming than ever, she quickly drinks it as if her life depended on it. Memories begin coursing through her brain.
"You will always be part of the family Saya."
"Nankurunaisa, live for today but look forward to tomorrow and don't forget to smile. Remember, that's what dad always said."
"What was that thing?"
"Chiropteran."
"Chi-rop-ter-an?"
"A beast that lives on blood."
"I have always loved you, Saya."
Water drops form in her eyes, falling leisurely to the ground.
"Haji," The warmth of her breath shows itself in the coldness of the air.
She swallows hard and wipes her tears; she turns back to the gaping hole in the cave. She now realizes that it is not diamonds that lay on the surface, it is mere snow. She looks around once more and narrows her eyes at the place.
"Where am I?"
She staggers to her feet; nearly falling in the process, as she stands, her knee length, raven hair covers her bare skin. She slowly walks to the outside world; her toes touch some of the snow, making her foot tinkle with a cold almost painful sensation.
She proceeds into the near freezing weather, her body shivering, her hair tousling in the wind and blowing in her face. The wind starts to blow harder and harder towards her, like it's telling her to turn back. But she doesn't, she keeps going; suddenly a man appears in front of her, his coat blowing in the wind along with his hair. She squints, trying to see this man's face.
"W-who are you?"
"Walking out in a blizzard naked? You are truly insane."
He chuckles as he walks closer, she steps back in fear.
"I'm not going to hurt you, I only want to help."
He begins to take off his coat and he smiles.
"Here, take it."
She inches towards the man; she hesitates as she reaches for the coat. She grabs it and puts it on, trying to cover as much of her body as possible.
"Thank you."
"What's your name?"
"Saya."
"I'm Sasuke...May I escort you back to town? There's a few Inns you can stay at that aren't too steep in there price." He chuckles once more before putting out his arm for her.
"Uh...Yes, thanks."
She walks to his side, but doesn't take his arm. He puts it down and they begin to walk together.
"So, where are you from?"
"Japan...and you?"
"I've always been here...but what are you doing all the way out in the middle of nowhere with." He looks her up and down. "No clothes on?"
"Um...well it's complicated..."
"I'll understand, I'm pretty smart, you know?"
"Uh...Well my boyfriend, he wasn't as nice as I thought."
He turns to her, wide eyed.
"Are you saying he hurt you?"
"No, no! Uh that came out wrong...he just left me here."
"Oh...well that's good...kind of. Look!" He points to the nearby town.
"I see."
They head into town and find an inn.
"Here, take this." He hands her a wad of cash.
"No...I couldn't take this."
"You'll be out on the streets if you don't...I'll be by tomorrow to give you some more money."
"Not that I'm not grateful but why are you helping me?"
"You made me feel…different…and I don't like seeing people sleeping on the sidewalk."
"Thanks you."
She gets to her room after he leaves. She lies down on the bed and thinks about many things. How would Kai look? How did he raise the twins? Do Hou and Hyou even like each other?
So many thoughts rushing through her head.
Sasuke enters a bedroom with a woman lying in the bed.
"Misuzu."
"Sasuke...has she awakened yet?"
"Yes, I escorted her to town and gave her some money to stay at a local inn."
"Good...make her trust you...don't do anything that will make her uncomfortable."
"If that is what you wish."
Me: Ok that's the first chapter done! I think it was pretty good! I have great plans for it! Remember, reviews are love and keep me motivated!
