Warning: I do not own Junjou Romantica!!
In a deepest part of the forest engulfed in the sun's warm light lived a creature named Usami Akihiko. His father was said to be a demon that raped a beautiful young maiden- whose beauty was beyond compare.
But, the truth was that the young maiden fell in love with the demon. They were lovers and the villagers didn't know it, so they thought that the beautiful young maiden was raped.
Soon, the beautiful young maiden became pregnant and many people started to wonder what will be the child's features. They thought that the child's features will be like his father. Hideous ugly angry villagers hired exorcists to kill the demon. They were a couple and the wife was currently pregnant with their first born child. Due to his wife being pregnant, the exorcists failed to kill the demon for he escaped from the town. The villagers were disappointed for the demon is still alive somewhere. But, soon accepted it saying that as long as the demon is nowhere in the village the town will be safe.
So, when the maiden gave birth alone to the child the angry villagers all took their torches and forks and went to the maiden's house.
"That child is a curse!"
"He will bring famine to our village!" They shouted.
"Kill him! We will be spared from the curse that he will bring!!"
"Demon child" they all shouted in unison.
The maiden became petrified of the angry villagers. It was true that the child was a monster with its two horns and sharp teeth. But, it was still her son. Her son was the proof of love she had with the demon. She couldn't let anything happen to her one and only son.
The maiden made up her mind. She grabs her son from his cradle and took some clothes and went out silently using the back door as an escape. But, unfortunately one of the villagers saw her escape.
"There she is with her child! Follow her and kill that demon child!" One of the villagers shouted.
The maiden ran and ran until she got into the forest. She could hear the voices of the villagers.
"Search for her! Don't stop until you've killed the child!"
"There she is! Shoot that child!" The exorcist grabbed his arrow and aimed it at the child. The maiden realize that they were targeting her son, so she sacrificed herself of being shot instead of her one and only son. Blood trickled down the maiden's chest but that didn't stop her from running towards safety.
As she continued to ran, she stumbled across an abandoned castle. Without having any second thoughts, the maiden went inside the castle. The castle was said to be a haunted place. It was a place where many people didn't dare to enter. But, the maiden didn't mind going to the castle, as long as she keeps her son safe from harm.
When she entered the lights suddenly opened. She stood there; fear was evident in her eyes.
"Please do not fear." A voice said to her. "I am the person who guards this castle. Why are you here?" A figure wearing black hooded clothes suddenly appeared in front of her.
"P-Please...save my son!" She pleaded at the figure. "They w-want to hurt my son...so please...save him...Let him live a life..." she cried.
"Mi lady, don't worry...I will take care of your child..." the figure whispered. He gently grabbed the child from the maiden. "Th - Thank y-you..." the maiden smiled before she cough up some blood and fall into the ground.
"Mi Lady!!" the figure shouted as he tried to catch the maiden but, has failed to do so. "Mi Lady!"
"H - His n-name...is...A-Akihiko...U-U-sami..." the maiden said. Tears were falling from her eyes. 'I'm sorry my son...it seems that I can no longer be with you as you grow...I pray that you will have the happiness that your father and I never had...' she gave out her last breathe and closed her eyes.

Over the years, the 'demon child' was soon forgotten by the villagers. The child was raised by the hooded figure that was known as 'Tanaka'. Tanaka treated Akihiko as if he was his own son and soon, Akihiko became a young man. Every day, Akihiko would sneak out of the castle to observe the people from the village. He would write stories about them. But, in his stories all of them would end in tragedy.
I continued to stare at them
They look as happy as they played
I couldn't help but get angry
What did I ever do to deserve this?
Why did God made me become like this?
Why was I ever born?
A monstrosity...
A curse...
No one would love me
They will never love me
One day as he walks around the forest he suddenly heard a cry coming from a little boy. The boy had chocolate brown hair and bright green eyes. He walks silently towards the boy, not wanting to scare him. The little boy noticed him and gave out a cry.
That day I saw him...
The most precious jewel I ever laid my eyes on
I couldn't help but get scared
I'm too tainted for this creature
My existence was a curse
No one would love me
They will never love me
"P-Please don't h-hurt me!" the boy cried. Akihiko felt a sudden pain from his chest. He never intended to hurt anyone. He only wanted to have someone to talk to him. The white figure once said that having someone to be there for you was one of the best things a person could have. Even though Tanaka was a great companion, there was still something missing.
"Don't cry...I won't hurt you" the creature said softly. The boy gave out a sob and said "W-Who are you?" he asked. Since it was night time, the boy couldn't see the man's face very clearly. "My name is Akihiko." the creature said. "Why are you here? It's already night time. Shouldn't you be at home?" he asked.
"I-I was trying to find a gift for my brother and got lost a-and I tripped on a rock and sprained my ankle." The little boy said as he continued to sob. He was in great pain right now and the darkness in the forest did not help him to calm down. The forest was a very scary place at night. He once heard from the other children that there was a monster living in this forest and he was afraid that the monster might find him and eat him up.
Akihiko gently grab the boy and carried him in bridal style. "W-What are you doing?!" The boy shouted. "I'm going to take care of your wounds. Don't worry; I won't bring you to any harm." Akihiko said as he continued to carry the boy in his arms.
The two of them were silent as Akihiko continued to carry the young boy in his arms. "I'm Misaki by the way..." the young boy muttered silently. Akihiko smiled and said "I see, that's a nice name you have." Misaki flushed as he stared at the man's smile. Even though the forest was very dark, he could still see the handsome features of the man.
As they got into the castle, Akihiko laid Misaki gently on his bed. "Wait here." he said. He went to the bathroom and opened a cabinet. He grabbed the medicine kit and came back.
"This might hurt a little..." he whispered softly. The little boy nodded and closed his eyes. Tears were forming to his eyes as he clutched the silky red sheets.
"I- Itai!" the little boy cried out. "It's almost done" the young man said. He wrapped the bandage on Misaki's foot and secured it. "Its done." he smiled. The little boy gave out a sigh of relief. "T-Thank you" Misaki gave a big smile to Akihiko. The young man stared at him with wide eyes. No human has ever smiled like that for him. Tanaka once said to him that his mother saved him from the humans because they were trying to kill him. They thought that he was a curse to the village that should be killed. It pains him to know that people hate him. Maybe, that's why he always made his stories to have tragic endings. Yet, this boy was giving a smile. It makes his heart flutter. A feeling he had never felt before.
I saw his beautiful smile that night
That innocent and serene look on his face
I will never forget
How could he smile on a monster like me?
No one will love me
And yet this creature...
Then, I suddenly realize...
I want to protect this precious treasure...
"Is there something wrong?" the little boy asked. Akihiko blinked and realized that he was crying. He turned around and rubbed his eyes. "No...I'm fine. Don't worry" he gave out a laugh.
Misaki suddenly gave out a yawn. He didn't realize he was sleepy. All the events earlier made him tired. Akihiko realize that the Misaki was sleepy. "Sleep" he said as he strokes the boy's soft brown hair. Misaki nodded and laid his head on the pillows. It was the softest pillow he ever laid his head on.
"Good night...Usagi-san..." the little boy muttered.
Akihiko raised his eyebrows. "Usagi-san?" Why in the world would the boy call him Usagi-san? He chuckled and smiled. Oh well, he liked the nickname anyway.
He quietly went out of his room and was greeted by his guardian. "That boy would only cause you sadness."His guardian said. "He would give you great grief in life" Akihiko looked down and said "Tanaka, I just want to have a companion..." he muttered. He went out of the castle leaving his guardian who sighed. 'That boy is so stubborn...maybe it's because he is your son...' Tanaka smiled at the shadows before staring at the sky.
