Chapter 1: Marking on the Wall

Guran Doma let his head fall against the table, with a loud bang.

"Something wrong Chairman?" Yajima asked curiously, looking excited by the random outburst.

"Have you ever done something you later deeply regretted?" Guran Doma replied back tiredly.

"Even you regret things?" Siegrain asked, his voice taking a light tone of mockery and Guran Doma looked up to glare at him momentarily. A lightbulb went off in his head as he now stared at the young member's face.

"Not girl trouble is it Guran?" Yajima said and his lips twitched.

"No."

"Ahhh, so there are two? Are you trying to chose-" Yajima was cut off by Belno's growl.

"Surely we have more important things to discuss."

Siegrain smirked. "Now, now Belno don't get so angry. At the moment we really don't have anything else to work on."

"In all seriousness, what's got you so troubled?" Org asked, entering the conversation.

Guran Doma shook his head. " So many things." He seemed to sink deeper into depression with those words and finally he gave in to his curiosity. "Siegrain, were you born with that tattoo on your face? Or did you go through a rebellious stage?"

Siegrain's eyes went wide and a few council members gasped. "W-what? My mark?"

"Yeah. That tattoo." Guran Doma said, tapping below and above his own right eye for emphasis. The other council members leaned in, having been curious about that for a while. Since they'd first met Siegrain to be entirely honest.

The boy in question coughed lightly. "I've had it ever since I can remember. I'm assuming it's a birthmark."

"Strange birthmark." Yajima murmured, his face twisting into confusion. "Chairman what's got your feathers so ruffled? It isn't like you to be so distracted by a little mark."

"You've been a council member for a long time Yajima. Tell me, do you remember the project the former Chairman had undertaken? Project Kontororu Zentai?"

The eyes of Yajima and Org almost popped out of both of their heads.

"Dono yō ni sono namae o shitte imasu ka?!" (How do you know that name?!) Org snarled, standing up and pounding his fists on the table.

"I don't speak whatever language this mission is coded with Org, do you mind telling me what it means?"

"Answer our question first. Where did you hear that name?" Yajima asked, his face weary.

Org had yet to sit down and he silently fumed as he waited for the Chairman's answer.

The rest of the council looked on with curious eyes, unsure of this situation.

Guran swirled his finger in the glass of water that lay before him in the council's table. "As Chairman I have access to the records of my predecessors."

"Hayate and Akumi buried those files too far for them to be found so easily!" Org hissed. "They tried to exterminate it from the history of Fiore!"

Guran stopped his finger as it was about to make another round. "Yes, I'm aware of this. I found the name by chance and no matter how much research I did or had done all I found was that it involved four people and a marking. Now, for my question?"

"What do you wish to know?" Yajima asked, sighing and ignoring Org's horror.

"You can't mean to tell him!"

"It won't matter, I'm sure even if he knows the truth he'll feel the same as Hayate did."

Guran leaned forward. "What does the name mean?"

"It means-" Started Yajima.

"Entire Control." Org finished, finally sitting down.

Guran wasn't the only council member both intrigued and disgusted by the name. "Tell me about it."

Org glared. "It doesn't matter Chairman! I say we drop this despicable subject and leave it buried in the past!"

Yajima rubbed his temples. "Come on Org. It won't hurt anyone to tell him."

"And if he votes against the previous Chairman's wishes?" Org was on his feet again, pacing back and forth in a fury. "We spent two years trying to resolve that project! Arguing amongst ourselves!"

"Maybe it's time to bring it up again." Siegrain suggested, intrigued by the subject. "What is this project about?"

Yajima looked up wearily. "To understand the project you have to understand the circumstances." Everyone stopped what they were doing and payed close attention. "It started 19 years ago. We were still in ruins over the catastrophe that Zeref the Black Wizard had created and the council was afraid of any like him to be born again.

"A few of our members went out without our members went out without the knowledge of the others and collected data every child that lived in Fiore. Babies were paid the closest attention."

Guran's brow furrowed, unable to connect the small amount of information he'd collected with both the name and what he was getting now.

Org picked up the tale as Yajima took a sip of water. "These four members came back and presented to the rest of the council an idea. Something so absolutely absurd that at first they did not even listen. This was Project Kontororu Zentai."

"Kontororu Zentai was a genius plan in its own right. The idea was to use a relatively easy spell to bind a child of great magical potential or a Tsuyoi kodomo to another child." Yajima added.

"Wait. Binding babies?" Belno asked incredulously. "Why would we do that?"

Yajima shook his head, "Because our fear blinded us. The four members collected how much magical potential each child had and the ones with the greatest would be bound to another child to be raised in a secure place with good influence. That way there would be no risk of another Zeref coming along. No more extremely powerful dark mages."

Org sat down. "Each of the four mages hand-picked a child to use the spell on, but without Council Member Akumi we couldn't attempt the spell. She was the only one we would trust with the mission."

"We? You were one of the four?" Guran clarified.

"We both were, as shamed as we are to admit it." Yajima stated gloomily.

"Who were the children the spell would be used on?" Siegrain asked eagerly, a few members nodding along with him, wanting to know as well.

"Two baby boys. One named Iawo Akiyama, the other Joji Tsuiki." Yajima murmured.

"And two baby girls. Akako Akiyama and Kagome Heartfilia. Can you guess where we would be having a problem?" Org asked, giving Guran a pointed look.

"Would the Heartfilia family have allowed an experiment to be tested on their heir?" Guran asked curiously. "Or the Tsuiki and Akiyama families for that matter?"

"Probably not." Yajima muttered.

"I'd still like to know what would happen between the two children binded together." Michello stated.

Yajima took a long breath. "...The two binded would be a male and a female. The largest problem of our entire plan was this part." He looked at each member as if to judge their coming reactions. "We would have no way of knowing who were were binding these four babies too."

Some jaws dropped -quite an amazing feat for anyone to cause- "WHAT?!"

"The idea was to create maximum happiness for the Tsuyoi kodomo." Org muttered darkly, "The person they would be bound to was for lack of a better term their 'Soul Mate' or Sōrumeito. The person out of the entire population of the world that they would be happiest with."

"We had no way of knowing who that person was, "Yajima said, picking up where Org left off. "So we'd have to look for the marking."

"Marking?" Guran asked, remembering that that was one of the few words he had found in concern of the plan.

"Yes." Yajima nodded. "A marking was to appear either above or below the right or left eye of the Sōrumeito. While the Tsuyoi kodomo would have that same marking on either their right or left arm, along with a tattoo of their Sōrumeito's eye to go with it."

"Siegrain has a marking! And he just said he's had it ever since he was a baby!" Leiji thundered, glaring at him.

Yajima sighed, "I honestly don't know how or why Siegrain was born with that marking. However, it's impossible for it to be connected to Kontororu Zentai in any way! We put a stop to the plan once we realized how absurd it was!"

Michello cleared his throat. "You're getting side tracked!" He chimed. "My question was what would happen to the children in question? Would they instantly fall in love or would there be a large amount of resistance from both parties."

"That's something that would have to be specific to the person." Org growled. "No one would have the same reaction to being bound to another. Some may view it as a blessing others as a twisted act of slavery."

"Which is how the council ended up voting it. Slavery." Yajima muttered. "Because after the two lock eyes the Tsuyoi kodomo would have their self-control stripped from them. While they wouldn't be forced into doing anything, the urge to make their Sōrumeito happy would be so overwhelming that they would fall into deep depression if they resisted his or her will."

"That's a rather interesting concept." Belno muttered, "But I can't help but agree that it would be similar to slavery."

"Perhaps not. Both parties would live in happiness." Ultear replied back, looking like she agreed wholeheartedly with the project.

"That may be so, but we don't breed weapons, Ultear." Siegrain snapped, getting some nods of approval from the other council members. Though inwardly, his mind was trying to grasp the possibilities of what could happen IF his mark did turn out to be there because of this operation.

"It would be useful if we did though, Siegrain." Was her soft answer.

"We would never do that! It was foolhardy for us to even come up with that plan!" Org howled, slamming his fist into the table and glaring at Ultear.

"Actually." Guran said, gaining the attention of the other members. "From what I gathered... they did follow through with the project."

Silence rained over the table.

"...No. They couldn't have! The Council ruled against it!" Yajima crowed.

Guran shrugged, "I only read that the operation was to be carried out."

Org frowned. "They would have had to do it in complete and utter secrecy." His scowl only deepened as he continued. "Hayate and Akumi both voted for it, not against it. But Hayate said he wouldn't go against our wishes since it was eight to two!"

"As Chairman he would have been allowed to carry through regardless of the rest of the council." Siegrain commented smoothly.

"...Guran, I request that we gather the four subjects we had initially thought to use the spell on. We should inspect them to make sure the project didn't happen!"

Guran looked at Yajima, knowing that it would have to be serious if the older man looked so frantic. "...Very well. Let us send for them."

Org turned to Siegrain, giving him a grave look. "If the operation really was carried out, there is a high chance you are in fact marked for that purpose. Can you handle the responsibility of what this could entitle?"

The other's looked at him expectantly and Siegrain smirked confidently. "Of course."

"Onee-chan!" A small voice called and a little boy of around 8 years ran toward an older girl. The boy had orange hair and emerald-green eyes.

He giggled slightly as the woman picked him up and twirled him around. "Onee-chan! Are you taking us out to the park today?"

The woman smiled at him, she had soft sapphire eyes and blue-black hair, as well as an extremely nice figure. "Not today Shippo. Maybe tomorrow? I have to get back to the shop, you know how I feel about leaving it unattended to for long." She giggled slightly as Shippo made a face.

"But Yumi~" Another child called, running up to her to pull at the bottom of her black cargo pants. "We Really~ want to play with you today!"

"Awww Rin, I'm sorry!" She poked the little girl on the nose, "But I promise I'll go with you tomorrow. Kay?"

Rin looked like a miniature Yumi, black hair and about the same facial features, the only difference being her age -8 years old and proud of it!- and her eyes, they were brown.

Rin pouted but didn't object. "Alright. I'll go tell Kaede-oba-san!"

Yumi smiled at her again and the younger girl stared in awe. 'So pretty!'

"You do that Rin, Shippo you should go with her. Like I said, I have to leave now."

"Kay! Bye~ Yumi~!" The two called as she took off after setting Shippo down. Yumi sighed, running her fingers through her hair, it had just begun to rain. The wind picked up and a reward poster flew by just close enough for her to catch it.

Will pay 5,000,000 Jewels for these four to be turned over to the Magic Council.

Kagome Heartfilia Joji Tsuiki

Akako Akiyama Iawo Akiyama

Request: Leave them unharmed. If they resist, use only as much force as it takes to bring them in.

"These posters are all over the place." She murmured, her fist clenching and slowly crumpling it up.

Ever since she'd left the Heartfilia mansion, at the meager age of eight, only trouble had come from it. She'd moved again and again, changing her name as she went.

Until finally Kagome Heartfilia became Yumi.

A girl who had grown up as an orphan with no surname. Someone who stopped by at her local orphanage everyday simply because of that. 'Shippo... Rin.'

'Yumi' owned a large flower shop in Magnolia city -as far away from the Fairy Tail guild's lair as possible- and made a meager living. Her bedroom was actually located in the back of the shop, she couldn't stand leaving her flowers alone.

Kagome's dear little sister had even walked into her shop a time or two... not that she realized just who was selling her flowers for her apartment. 'Good to know sometimes my Illusion Magic comes in handy.'

The bell to her shop's door jingled as she opened it, and her footsteps thudded softly against the floorboards.

The sound quieted as she paused midstep, staring at a lone chair that faced away from her, a small trail of smoke could be seen despite how dark it was becoming outside. "Daichi, what are you doing here?"

His head turned and she could just make out the outline of his feral grin. "Now, now Yumi-chan. We're completely alone if we don't count your plants. Call me Joji. Come on, say my name just once for old times sake?"

"Joji. What are you doing here?"

His face didn't lose the smile and he pointed his nose upward, blowing out a particularly large puff of smoke. "Oh I don't know, just hanging around I guess."

Kagome's brow ticked and she swiftly walked forward, "Give me that." She snarled, taking the cigarette from his hand.

"Ah~! Kagome-chan I didn't know you smoked!" Joji squealed in delight.

"I don't, baka." She added under her breath as she smothered the 'innocent' cigarette. "Baka that isn't healthy!-"

"Oh? Are you worried about me Kagome-chan?" Joji teased and she glared finishing her sentence.

"-for my flowers."

Joji face planted into the floor, looking up with teary eyes. "Kagome-chan is so cruel."

"Will you quit it with the -chan already!?" She yelled glaring at him, before her expression softened and she turned her face away. "I was only teasing. Of course I'm worried about you, baka."

Joji got up, returning to his chair with a gentle smile on his face. "Yeah, I know."

It was quiet for a moment as the two basked in each other's presence.

"...So why are you here?"

His smile turned to a smirk as he took out another cigarette and rolled it in his fingers, but he didn't light it. "Akako and Iawo are starting to get antsy."

Kagome sighed, "I've told them time and time again! This will all blow over."

"Yeah, but you know Iawo. He wants to completely obliterate the council for having the nerve to put our names on a wanted poster. Akako agrees with him simply because she wants to see some bloodshed."

"What about Michael and Alice?"

"They just want those two to be safe."

"... And Cecilia?"

"I didn't care to ask." Joji snapped, his carefree demeanor ending as he glared at her. "This isn't an interrogation!"

"Then what is it!?"

Joji huffed turning his face away before his features softened. "I'm going to confront the council. I've already discussed it with Akako and Iawo. I'll tell them to stop bugging us about the past."

Kagome's eyes widened and her heart panged. "Joji... you can't!"

"It's been two months. Have you seen the posters Kagome-chan?!"

"Stop saying my name so loudly! Everything has ears in the world of magic." Kagome hissed before throwing the crumpled sheet of paper that she'd been clutching at him. "This is what you're talking about right?"

Joji smoothed it out and gave it a once over before going back to his carefree front, laughing boisterously. "Seriously? 5,000,000?! I almost want to create clones of us and turn them in to get that much dough!" He continued snickering as Kagome face palmed. "You know, Yumi-chan, the last time I checked these they were only at 1,000,000. That was yesterday. A pretty big update if you ask me."

"That amount of money is crazy." Kagome agreed, walking toward a blue flower that had caught her eye.

Joji caught her arm. "I'd pay a million times that for you."

Kagome scoffed. "And if I asked for two million times?"

"I'd give it." He shot back.

"Oh Joji, you don't mean that." She looked up at him sadly and the temperature in the room dropped 40 degrees, "You have Cecilia."

"I don't want Cecilia!"

"But you have her and more importantly she has you." Kagome turned away, not wanting to see the expression of hatred that would etch itself onto his face.

"Kagome... I just had to tell you. One last time, in case I never come back." Her eyes widened as she felt Joji's arms encircle around her and she fought the urge to lean into him.

'Now is NOT the time to be falling in love with that boy again!'

"I love you Kagome-chan. I love you more than the world itself... and if I could find a way to be able to hold you, like this, forever. I would."

Tears gathered in her eyes and she ducked her head. "You're lucky to have found you're soul mate Joji."

"Please! Out of all of us you're the one that's been dreading it the most." He murmured, about to lift her chin, but she swiped his hand away with her own.

He looked at her with hurt eyes and slowly relinquished his hold, but her face didn't lift. She wouldn't make eye contact with him.

Swallowing the lump in his throat he quickly turned to walk away.

"I'll find him Joji. If only to stop hurting you like this."

Her voice was soft and broken, it echoed through his mind and played itself over and over again. It was his fault Kagome sounded like that, it wasn't natural.

Joji closed his eyes, chosing to pretend he hadn't heard her. "Goodbye Kagome-chan."

10 year old Kagome laughed, giving Joji -of the same age- a noogie. "I gotta go Kagome-chan!"

"STOP ADDING -CHAN ONTO MY NAME!"

Joji grinned toothily. "See ya~"

Kagome huffed in reply. "Why can't you ever just say "Goodbye" like a normal person?!"

Joji's smile disappeared and he cast her a mock serious glance. "Kagome-chan! Don't you know about the true meaning of goodbye?"

"No. What is it?" Kagome tilted her head curiously.

Joji grinned again. "Goodbye means you're never coming back! So I'll only ever say goodbye if I think I'm not gonna see someone again!"

Drip, drop, Drip, drop.

The tears, flowed down Kagome's face relentlessly. 'Never say goodbye. He promised to never say it.'

"Joji-kun..."

"I said no." Lucy said simply, eyeing her seething father with hidden anger as she ripped off her dress. "Like I said before. I regret running away, but it wasn't leaving that made me regret. Meeting my friends at Fairy Tail is something I can NEVER regret. I regretted two things.

"The first was never standing up to you. I've let you push me around, I didn't stand up for myself and I chose to ignore the problem, and when I finally did grasp it, I ran away. I didn't tell you how I felt.

"The second reason is because I left her behind. My sister doesn't deserve to be left here when she could be at Fairy Tail with me! Instead I left in the dark of night, without her." Her fist clenched and she fought back tears. "I LEFT HER HERE TO DEAL WITH YOU!"

Jude closed his eyes, rubbing his temple. "Lucy... she's gone."

Lucy hesitated, turning to look him in the eye. "What do you mean by 'She's gone'?"

Jude let out a sigh. 'She looks so much like her mother.' "Kagome ran away two days after you Lucy. She's gone."

His daughter's eyes turned glassy and she seemed to stare right through him. "...She left? Again? WHY DO YOU HAVE TO MESS EVERYTHING UP!"

Jude lowered his head. "Listen here Lucy-"

"NO! You listen! She had FINALLY come back and then you drove her away again! What kind of father are you?!"

With that she stormed out of the room, intent on finding her elder sister through her own means.

Lucy sighed for the fifteenth time that day.

"Hey you alright there Lucy?" Natsu called, jumping into the chair beside her.

"..."

"Makarov still hasn't found anything on your sister?" Erza asked, sitting across from them. She could easily recognize this mood in particular when it came to Lucy, she always looked so sad when she was thinking about her missing sister.

"No." Lucy shrugged.

"Makarov's doing everything he can to find your sister." Erza assured her.

Natsu laughed. "He's even got the council trying to find her!"

The others paused.

"What did you just say Natsu?" Gray asked.

"You mean you didn't see? It's up on the S Class board! It doesn't sound like a very eventful mission, but hey 5,000,000 Jewels to bring in 4 people? We should take that job!"

Lucy grabbed his arm as he jumped up. "What does a 5,000,000 Jewel reward have to do with MY sister?"

Natsu frowned, "You seriously haven't heard?" He was up and running in an instant, returning with a poster in hand. "See?"

Erza grabbed the poster. "Iawo Akiyama, Akako Akiyama, Joji Tsuiki, and Kagome Heartfilia. 5,000,000 Jewel reward. Turn them in as unharmed as possible."

"Yeah and the reward is growing like crazy! Last night it was only 1 million! These are the new copies."

Tears gathered in Lucy's eyes. "What has she done now?"

"I'm sure her name was only requested because of Makarov's pestering." Gray said reassuringly.

"Then what about the other three?"

"...Maybe they're other runaways. I seem to recall the Tsuiki family is the wealthiest at the moment, with the Akiyama's coming at a close second. Perhaps they're trying to get the children of the top three richest families of Fiore in one go?" Erza replied.

Lucy sniffed, sitting up. "I'm going to Yumi's flower shop." She muttered. "I need some fresh flowers for my apartment."

Cana's ears perked up. "Yumi's? Take Gray with you."

Lucy frowned ignorant of the blush steadily rising on Gray's cheeks, "Why would I do that?"

Marajane giggled, "Because he loves her!"

Gray's face continued to turn red. "I do not!"

"Gray you're stripping again." She chimed and Gray paused halfway between taking off his shirt.

"Dang it!"

Natsu blinked, "Huh? Who's Yumi?"

"Only the prettiest girl alive." Gray muttered quietly, hoping no one heard him.

"Her appearance is above average." Erza said, dashing his hopes with a brief nod in his direction. "She owns a flower shop on the far side of town."

"Flowers. That sounds kinda cool!" Natsu said, grinning, "Let's go!"

"A hot girl doesn't sound appealing, but flowers do. I'm beginning to worry about that boy." Cana muttered.

Lucy's lips twitched. "So what does Yumi look like, anyway? I hear whispers about her, but I've only ever met her assistant."

The team got up and started across town, Natsu running ahead with Happy at his heels.

"Hm? Really? I didn't even know she had an assistant." Erza muttered. "She's got black hair and blue eyes. But her hair has a bluish tint to it."

Lucy nodded, pursing her lips. "Her assistant has blond hair and green eyes."

"Never seen her around," Gray admitted, his brow wrinkling. "I go there almost every day."

Natsu snickered. "Maybe you're so busy staring at this 'Yumi' chick to see anything else."

Gray's eye twitched. "I GO FOR THE FLOWERS!"

"How many have you bought just so you can see this girl?" Lucy asked, sweat dropping.

"Half his money goes to Yumi's flowers. It's why we aren't allowed in his apartment, it's packed with flowers." Erza said with a soft snicker as they finally stopped in front of a store painted red.

Flowers of all kinds could be seen through the window or on display.

"...That one's cool!" Natsu yelled excitedly, pointing at a flower that was red and orange, shaped like a flame.

They entered and immediately knew something was wrong -excluding Natsu that is- the bell was gone. There was no familiar jingle, just a slight creek.

The wrongness of the situation was further brought to light -one that even Natsu could see- when they noticed the flowers they'd seen on the outside were... gone.

The room was spare of anything except four or five boxes that were scattered around.

Along with another box, a girl with black hair -and her back turned toward them- was just finishing closing.

"...Yumi?"

She jumped, obviously not having heard them come in. "Um... didn't you see the closed sign?"

Lucy giggled, "You don't have one up!"

Kagome inwardly cursed her self for not buying one. "Oh, right!"

She avoided looking at them, hoping Lucy wouldn't recognize her. 'It's only been a year. I'm surprised she doesn't know my voice.'

"So how long have you been a wizard? That's a pretty strong illusion you cast on the outside."

Kagome cleared her throat, taping the box shut. "Not really, I just dabble here and there! I didn't want anyone to worry about me, closing shop as I am." She added, knowing the next question would be 'Why did you cast it?'.

Gray looked around, "...Oh. Are you moving to another part of Magnolia?" Kagome worried her lip, "Actually no. I'm moving to another city."

Erza blinked, "Why?" She asked.

"Where?!" Gray wailed, a pained look in his eyes.

"Not sure. I just felt like a change of scenery would be nice you know?" Kagome shrugged.

"What about the orphans?!" Erza whispered.

"They knew I'd go eventually. There was no avoiding it. They can understand."

"Hearing and understanding are two different things." Lucy muttered, thinking about how she'd been told so many times that her father wouldn't pay attention to her... she knew it but couldn't understand.

"I'm aware of that Lucy. However, I don't have any other choice." Kagome said stiffly, grabbing the box and lifting it up.

"Well maybe you should think-"

"How did you know my name is Lucy? I've never met you before and you haven't even seen my face with your back turned like it is." Lucy interupted, earning a mocking glare from Gray.

Erza's frown deepened, "Yeah. We haven't even said her name."

"And despite how many times I've come here I've never mentioned Lucy." Gray added.

"HEY!"

Kagome walked across the room, setting the final box next to its peers. "Oh, that? I just figured that was your name because everyone's always talking about how you guys are a team. Lucky guess."

"Lucky... Lucy?"

'Oh crap! I have to stop making puns!' Kagome wanted to hit her head on the wall for her failure at a joke.

"When I came in... I thought you're voice and your hair looked really familiar. But... you're Yumi so there should be no way." Lucy started, earning a few curious looks from the others. "So I want you to confirm it to me. You are you Kagome Heartfilia, aren't you?"

"..."

"They said you have blue eyes, but Kagome's the only person in the world that I've met that has black hair and blue eyes. Are you my sister?"

"... If I was your runaway sister, do you honestly think I would just up and tell you? How do you know I'm not lying?"

"Kagome always said that sisters don't lie to each other. She wouldn't break the rule she created."

Kagome smiled slightly, "I'm not Kagome Heartfilia."

Lucy's shoulders slumped in disappointment, "I see-"

"...Does that mean we aren't sister's anymore Lucy?" She turned to face her with a smirk. "Now that I've lied to you?"

Tears gathered in Lucy's eyes as she stared into the face she'd missed for the last year. "Kagome..." Without further ado, she flung herself into the arms of her sister.

"Now now, Lucy you shouldn't cry. It's alright."

"You're trying to leave me again! Nothings alright."

Kagome chuckled, "I'm not leaving just to get away from you."

"JUST TO!" Lucy squeaked.

Kagome blushed, "Wrong choice of words. Anyway, I'm leaving because of those wanted posters."

"Then I'm guessing Makarov's questioning wasn't the reason they put it up?" Gray commented, raising an eyebrow at her.

Lucy pulled away from Kagome to see her face better.

Kagome pursed her lips. "It's... complicated."

"So complicated that you wouldn't explain if you're own sister begged?" Lucy asked, curiously.

"...I truthfully don't know why they're after us, but I think I have a pretty good guess." Kagome murmured.

"And~?" Lucy waved her hands to emphasis her need for information.

"You remember my mark don't you?"

It is here that the wheels of fate began turning, for if she had not uttered those words...

...Perhaps darkness would not have begun to approach that much more rapidly.
