Arisasu: This is very important! Please read! Due to the fact that I have lost interest in Red Butterfly…I decided to rewrite the whole thing. So, forget everything that has happened in the story! But, do not worry! It will have the same concept! Sorry for not updating and changing this! I have to warn you all yet again, Tohru will be out of character. I'm also trying to only get a few characters involved in this story. Hope you like the new (actually original intent) version of Red Butterfly!


Red Butterfly Legends: The Fall

By: Arisasu

Prologue: The Oath

"Hello, Mother. Today's not a very good day to visit. It seems like it will rain today…" A young woman softly said. She had brown, soft hair covering her face.

"Honda! Honda!"

"I've reached the last year of high school. I'll be graduating this year."

"Stay away! Who are you! How do you know me?"

"I'll be fulfilling your dreams, Mother."

"You're Kyoko-san's daughter. We are the Red Butterfly's companions from way back…"

The young woman smiled and said, "Mother, I'll be holding that diploma for you."

"You mean…the gang she joined? What…what do you want? Mother is—"

"Ara? It's started to rain…"

"We know…and that's why we are here to tell you the truth."

"Oh my…it's pouring…"

"Truth?"

The brunette bent her knees in front of her mother's grave and leaned on it. "Mother…mother…" She whispered closing her eyes.

"Her death wasn't an accident, Honda. It was planned—a murder!"

"A murder! No, you're mistaken! The police told me—"

"Are you serious? You are Tohru Honda, the daughter of the Red Butterfly! Your mother died because of this murder! It's unforgivable…Jyuunishi…they have gone too far."

"Jyuunishi?"

"They threatened Kyoko-san saying that they would kill you. But, Kyoko-san was out of the gang already. They were persistent seeing Kyoko-san as a threat."

"Mother…"

"They staged the whole accident."

"Why? They should have taken me!"

"Are you angry?"

"Yes."

"Are you so angry enough to kill, Honda?"

"Kill? But…"

"Kyoko-san was murdered by the Jyuunishi! Aren't you going avenge her death?"

"…Y-yes I will…"

"Then, you shall be the new leader to lead us into revelry against the Jyuunishi. Take this as a chance to make Kyoko-san rest in peace, Tohru-san."

"I will. I promise…no I swear."

The brunette opened her eyes revealing blue-green orbs. She slowly stood up from the ground and took one more look at her mother. "Mother, it will be a long time before I see you again. I really do hope…that you are proud of my decision and myself. Goodbye for now, Mother."

Tohru turned around and slowly walked away from her mother's grave. The rain poured on heavily. Tohru clenched her mother's black trench coat with the butterfly design on the back tightly. Lightning struck and thunder roared.

"Forgive me!" She said and ran.


Arisasu: Just the prologue! Keep your pants on! I'll keep working on this! I really hope I can finish this with only ten chapters…Thank you for the generous reviews from before! Oh and the curse doesn't apply here!
