Revenge
(Bankotsu Love Story)
Chapter. 1
"Where You Truly Belong"
Don't you just hate it when your own words, and actions are thrown back in your face, and then, used to paint the most horrid picture of who everyone seems to think you are on the inside? Well, I know just how you feel, you see, I was painted into the big, bad, black wolf of the family, a demon who's only purpose in life is burdening, and causing trouble for everyone else. For 17, long years, I've lived my life on a chain, but, in recent times, I've begun attempting to break free from that chain.
'I'm so sick of Family, who needs 'em.', I thought bitterly, as I walked through the cold, pouring rain. I wandered aimlessly through the harsh weather, feeling once again misunderstood, and out of place. Suddenly, I heard a voice calling my name, and I turned to see non-other than my best friend, Francesca, running towards me, an umbrella in her hand. "Luna! What're you doing all the way out here? And in the rain, no less." She asked, her voice full of concern, and worry, as she removed her jacket, and wrapped it around me, placing her umbrella over my head, in an attempt to shield me from the rain. "Come on, let's go to my house." She replied, placing both of her hands on either of my shoulders, as we began walking in the direction of her house.
Eventually, we made it to Francesca's house, safe, and sound….More, or less. "I'm going to boil some hot water. Do you want tea, or hot chocolate?" Francesca asked, as we stepped into her house. "Hot chocolate." I answered simply, my voice still carrying the same harshness, and bitterness in it, as it did a-little while ago. As she rushed around the kitchen, I sat in the living room, on the floor, staring out the window, as I did so, watching the cold rain, as it poured, listening to the sound of thunder, as it rolled through the angry sky, jumping on occasion, as the lightning struck at the ground below. "Here." Came a voice, as I turned to see Francesca handing me a cup of Hot Chocolate. "Thanks." I barely whispered, as she sat down beside me.
"Wanna talk about it?" She asked, looking at me with such sadness in her eyes. 'She's worried.' I thought, as I stared out the window, I could feel her eyes on me. I merely shook my head, 'No.' in response to her question. She knew well enough what I went through on a daily basis. I leaned against her, my head on her shoulder, as tears stung my blue, saddened eyes, my sapphire hair covering my face. 'I refuse to let anyone other than her see me like this.' I thought, as my body began to tremble. I felt Francesca wrap an arm around me, as she eased me down on my side, my head cradled in her lap. She gently brushed my hair out of my face, and stroked my head, her gentle touch seeming to ease the pain I felt in my wounded heart. She began humming softly a lullaby that she had sung to me since we were little, (Zelda's Lullaby). I felt my body begin to relax, as my eyes became heavy….Then, everything around me went black.

I watched, as Luna's body began to relax against me. 'That's it, Luna. Just go to sleep, and be at peace for now. Rest at ease, you're here, with me, and so long as I'm here, no harm shall come to you.' I thought, as I gently stroked her head, and continued to hum a sweet lullaby to her. Once she was sound asleep, I laid out a pillow for her, and carefully eased her head onto it. She stirred a-little, but, then, fell back into a deep, peaceful slumber to the sound of my voice humming her lullaby. After covering her up with a soft blanket, and making sure she was warm, and comfortable, I laid upon the couch, with Luna lying on the floor beside me. I stared into the fireplace, and watched, as the flames danced, and flickered, my thoughts becoming deep….And troubled. 'Luna….I just want you to find happiness….I want you to find somewhere, where you feel like you truly belong.' I thought briefly, before falling into a deep sleep myself.
