"Are you really going to do this, Ur?"

The rain was falling heavily on a dark and stormy night, the loud rustling of trees echoed yet the question was heard clearly. The question itself was asked by a figure disguised in a dark blue cape with white linings at the edges, a lock of curly pink hair was hanging outside of the hood. The only clue that it was in fact a young girl was the high pitched voice.

She was standing besides a taller, straighter figure in the same type of hooded dark blue cape that covered his entire body. He just remained silent as he and the young girl were watching the final member of the little group who the first figure had directed the question at. They were all standing in front of a modestly big brick building with a white sign that read in black letters, Tachibana's Orphanage. The last unknown figure also had a dark blue cape but unlike the others, this one had it's hood down and the cape was more opened.

This final figure was revealed to be a tall, pale-skinned woman with waist length, smooth dark purple hair and red eyes. Now, it wasn't really visible because of the cape but she had a very voluptuous figure. She wore a black tabard-like garment with a white cross on her large chest that was skin tight and exposed her back. Her hands and half of her harms were covered in strange silver gloves while the rest of her arms and shoulders were bare. You could see that she had long, black high-heeled boots that would leave her upper thighs bare if it not were for her light brown, skin tight leggings. All in all, she was very beautiful.

What disturbed her natural beauty though was the incredibly sad expression her face held. The beautiful pale face was wet because of the rain but you could make out the puffy, red spots where tears had fallen. The woman's back was turned towards her two comrades and her head was looking down at a small bundle of light purple blankets held gently in her arms. Though if you looked closer, you could see the face of an adorable baby boy sticking out, sleeping peacefully despite the ongoing storm. The boy looked to be no older then 3 months old. His skin was pale, he had a cute button nose and his hair was the same dark purple color as the woman holding him.

The woman had begun to stroke the baby's right cheek with a long, slender index finger. Her lips tilted upwards into a small sad smile as the little one subconsciously leaned into her touch. The cute child seemed to absorb all of her attention as she hadn't heard her short companion's question as she repeated it and even just began to call out her name. Until…

"Ultear." The tall, cloaked male spoke for the first time in a firm yet quiet voice, almost as if they tried not to be discovered. Him speaking seemed to snap the red-eyed woman out of her small trance as her gaze turned from the baby towards him. The only male in the group brought two gloved hands from underneath his cape towards his head and pulled down his hood.

The figure was revealed to be a very handsome man. His hair was blue, short and a little spiky. The eyes were a similar shade of blue but they seemed to have a steeled resolve within them. By the right eye was a blood red tattoo in the shape of a spear. As the man revealed his face, the shortest of the group brought down her own hood. She looked to be 14 years old and her skin was pale and her eyes a light green. Her hair was pink and kind of fluffy while still being gathered at the back of her head in a long, wavy ponytail. She also wore a set of black earmuffs for… some reason. Both of them gave the now named Ultear sympathetic looks while she looked back at them with unrivaled heartbreak in her eyes.

"Ultear," The man began once again now that he had Ultear's attention. "we've been here for too long. I know this is hard for you and I can't… I can't possibly imagine how much this must pain you. But we can't stay here for much longer." The woman had now begun to tear up once again as she automatically held the little boy tighter against her chest. The pink haired girl had also teared up a bit as she gazed sadly at Ultear.

"Ur… you can alw-" "No, Meredy." Whatever the now named Meredy was going to say was interrupted by Ultear but her interruption sounded very choked out. Ultear continued to speak but she kept her tearfilled eyes at the little boy who was still sleeping snuggly against her chest.

"This is for the best. I can't be a part of his life…" She began as her hand moved and began to pet the little boy's head almost automatically. "My sins are far too many, he… he deserves someone better than me… and I do not deserve him…" Ultear was shaking slightly now and Meredy was by her side in almost an instant and gave her a comforting hug.

After keeping that position for about a minute, they let go off each other when they felt the baby stirring in Ultear's arms, signaling his soon to be awakening. Meredy smiled sadly at him, leaning down and giving the soft forehead a quick kiss before returning to the man's side.

Ultear traced a long finger slowly and softly down the baby's cheek as she began to walk towards the great wooden doors slowly. She eventually arrived there and stood barely three feet away from the door. Her eyes turned down towards the little boy once more, his cute face scrunched up slightly as her warm tears had begun to drip on his face.

The red-eyed woman couldn't help but smile at how cute the boy was as she wiped her eyes quickly. She crouched down on her knees and held up the baby so that they were face-to-face, their foreheads touched and Ultear began to whisper things to the baby. "I'm so sorry that it has to be this way…"

"I want to be there for you… I don't want to leave you… I don't want you to grow up without a mother like I did. I… I can never truly express how much it pains me that my own foolish decisions are keeping me from you." She gave his forehead another kiss though this one lasted a little longer. After about 15 seconds she gently put the baby down on the porch and she attempted to smile slightly but it broke almost immediately.

Ultear reached into a pocket on her cape and pulled out a beautiful pendant. It was bound by a slim silver chain with an ice blue krystal attached to the pendant with silver pieces in the form of wings. She kept her gaze on the pendant for a few moments before gently tucking it safely within the baby's blanket. Ultears eyes began to fill with tears once again as she leaned over the baby and whispered softly, "Perhaps our paths will cross again one day, if so then I can only pray that you will understand… just remember that I will always love you, don't ever think that you were unwanted."

She gave his forehead one last kiss before rising up to her feet. Ultear gave the baby one last sad look before pulling up her hood and knocking loudly at the door. She then ran towards her two comrades as they moved quickly towards the cover of the nearby forest. Before she had disappeared completely into the forest, Ultear turned around quickly one last time and whispered sadly in the building's direction, "Stay safe… Yuri." And then she was gone.

It was at this moment that the baby woke up. He yawned cutely before opening his eyelids which revealed a pair of curious red orbs looking around. He noticed that he was alone now and he began to wail. This stopped though as the baby boy was engulfed in a bright purple light. When it died down shortly after there was no longer a baby at the building's porch.

The baby boy had no idea where he was after the light had died down. Apparently he was in a large room with bright red and gold colors. He was in the middle of a strange carved-in symbole in the wooden floor with some candles being the only source of light. The only sounds the baby heard was his own wailing before he heard a feminine voice filled with awe seemingly coming from a corner.

"James… it worked."
