Here's my disclaimer: I don't own Mai HiME/Otome, though I'm only putting that one there just in case, focuses predominantly on HiME. The plot and everything else is mine.

Well here it is, my first time posting anything on in a long time. For those who are looking for another chapter of Inhuman, it's coming. I have not abandoned it. And I am not dead! It's just taking longer than it should to get out. Suffice to say I've had a lot going on and a whole bunch of details no one really needs.

This is an Alternate Universe, an AU. This story focuses on ShizNat. If you do not like to read about these things then that is not my problem. I am writing because I feel like it and because I've finally gotten a good idea that I don't think people have used yet! Though there are other pairings and they will be focused on as well... just not as much.

I must make note that I am Canadian. As such my spelling processor goes with Canadian English. So not all of the words, if there are typos, aren't really typos. It is just the word in Canadian spelling. If there are typos or word errors, please let me know and I'll change/fix them right away.

I don't mind criticism but outright flaming without telling me how I can improve will be ignored. (Aka for idiots: I don't care what you think of my fic. Like it, hate it, want to burn it with fire? I don't care. If you don't have anything productive to say don't say it cause it won't reach me.) Though you're always welcome to tell me how incredibly great my story is. Reviews are fuel people. They motivate me to continue! So please help eh?

Alright, with that all out of the way! Let us begin.


What do you do when you can't control your own?


Prologue

They took everything...

"Don't let them get away!"

"Kill the mother but bring that girl back alive!"

"Yes sir!"

Everything from me.

"You need to run away, as far as you can and don't look back."

"No! I'm staying with you!"

"Run... don't let them catch you."

"Mommy no!"

"Run Natuski!"

And so...

"That's all you know about my mother's murder?"

"Yes! I swear it!"

"..."

"Wh-what are you doing? No... No! Please! Have mercy!"

"No."

I will take everything from them.
