Black Roses

Why do you fling

The edges of insanity into,

The next step of my path,

Only for me to stumble,

Falling into slumber,

Sleep walking,

Caught in between,

Rocks and hard spots,

Life and death,

Fantasy and reality,

Caught in neverland?

2 Years Ago

The explosive thundered across the park. The humble SUV carried the head of the Daiske family and a young man. The order was sent to locate Saiga Daiske and illuminate him. The person charged with the extermination order failed. Then another was sent in his stead. Before he could reach the crash site he saw the pallet of colors rise as if the fires of hell had escaped to engulf the area. The killer slammed on his breaks and valiantly searched for bodies. He could only see one charred mass of a human clutching in death the wheel of his fiery coffin. A cry threatened to choke him then he heard a low moan. Thrown into the bushes was the body of the young man he wished to save. Lacerations covered his face and shredded his clothes. Bruises already began to form and as he lifted the young man's head in his lap he prayed for the first time since he was a boy for keeping this man alive. He would live and die for this young man. Eyes fluttered open and blue found brown.

"Yuuki?" whispered the man, "Yuuki I promise ill spend the rest of my life making this right my love." The man swallowed back more tears as lips smiled weakly not taking in the situation.

"Suguru, am I dead?" Suguru shook his head making the tears fall down his cheeks and splash onto Yuuki's face. Yuuki placed a hand to Suguru's cheek.

'My father?" asked Yuuki weakly. As soon as Suguru shook his head a tear fell from the boy's eyes just as darkness claimed him.

The second killer was cold, calculated in the deliverance of the family's orders. The woman and the daughter were next. She hopped the fence of the estate and crept along the grounds like a cat. The lights were out and the time was right. She spied an open window on and upper balcony and smiled as she thought of the ease in which this job will be done. She pulled her small pack around and brought out a length of rope and a grappling hook then launched it up over the top of the house ledge. She tugged twice to check the strength the climbed. The black clad woman made no sound as her footsteps found purchase on the balcony. Her heart hammered in her chest as she slid through the curtains, and approached the bed from the shadows. They lay the next head of the house about to die by the blade of their she readied her blade and lifted her arm she did not see the black shadows shimmer behind her easing closer and closer.

Sachiko's arm was yanks down and she almost had her own blade impaled into her side. She spun as she was yanked back behind her in a hold as her feet were swept from her. She rolled and launched a kick up and caught her attacker in the chest sending them staggering away. Sachiko flipped back up to her feet as fist fired at her. It was everything she could do to keep the hands from landing their blows. Sachiko planted a front kick sending the assailant back so she could pull the dagger from her sleeve then she launched it driving the knife into the upper bicep of the attacker. The other warrior grunted then pulled the blade from their arm throwing the blade back at the owners head. The blade caught the fabric of the mask as Sachiko shifter just in time. Her protection was gone and the fight was lost. She heard a gasp just as she launched herself out the window repelling down the rope. The masked bodyguard watched as Sachiko's black figure blended into the shadows of the street and she hopped the wall of the estate.

"Yumi?" called a woman's voice on the other side of the door. Yumi drew her mask from her face and set it down on the bed as he examined her wound.

"Come in mother, it's alright," Yumi clutched her arm realizing it's a minor injury and looked down at the replica of her mother, Jun, and shook her head. Jun was now the next head of the family and if it wasn't for Suguru tipping them off they would have both been dead. She turned her head to the park and saw orange, and knew her father was dead. Her brother was in that car, and she realized, he may be dead. It hurt me more than anything.

"Mother, its time. You must go," Yumi stood strong for her mother who straightened her back and held herself proudly. This was the life she married into. Yumi would leave later in a disguise to go to the family's other home. Yumi and her brother lived in another house closer to school with a different last name than Daiske. Fukuzawa was their Mothers maiden name and they used it to hide their lineage. As she changed her clothes her mother picked up the phone that began ringing. She heard her mother gasp, and fight the tears as she hung up. Yumi went to her mother put her arms around her and held her tightly before she had to brave this horrible affair, alone.

After Yumi's mother left she followed shortly on a motorbike clad all in black, and followed behind her mother ensuring her mother's safety toward the hospital. Once she saw her mother safely enter the hospital she roared on toward her humble home. Thoughts of disbelief hit her as her own classmate, the same woman who fixed her tie that morning, tried to assassinate her family. Shock, rage, and most of all complete confusion welled inside of Yumi. Once in her home she woke the maid that acted at her mother if people stopped by cleaned her arm, and stitched her up. Aoi was a nurse at one time and Yumi couldn't be more thankful. Yumi's thoughts kept up her up all night. How was she going to face this girl day in and out as a classmate when all she wanted was to kill her?
