Chapter 1
The finding
The great ominous ruin stood out amongst the landscape. A tribute to the horrors this land had seen. It is here a certain boy obtains a peculiar journal, one that has within its pages, the founding of his entire world.
"Zak, why do we have to be here?"A blonde haired girl complained to her male companion.
Normally the sandy haired boy would comfort her, or at least answer her query, but this day was was unlike any other, he could feel it in the air. He plunged on, determined to make his way into the destroyed building.
After climbing an insanely long flight of stairs he arrived at the front of the building...the sign painted above read " Hinata Inn" obviously all of its tenants were dead and gone...the perfect chance for exploring. The doors had long since been either torn or rotted away so he walked right in.
"I really don't think we should be here Zak...it's really scary..." Once again the girl pleaded with him to not follow through with his idea,
The boy turned about with a glare "Then go back to your mom Rachel." The coldness in his tone suggested complete sincerity.
The girl remained silent, though still following her companion, as she did not know the way home. Bones lay scattered amongst the floor in random piles, all seemed to be leading upstairs. The two made they're way to a room labeled "Manager". The walls were completely ripped to shreds and destroyed. There, sitting against the wall was one skeleton...alone. Zak walked over until he could touch him without raising a hand.
Beside the skeleton were two items, a necklace and a bound journal, Zak felt an aura of something left behind, something sad and forgotten, it expelled out of the journal. Without ever thinking about it Zak picked up the little bound book and began his way out. Rachel never uttered a word throughout the whole ordeal, she had never seen her friend this way.
The two parted ways upon the arrival of the little girls house, Zak left without ever saying goodbye, his mind focused on his find. Zak entered his home to find completely empty, as was common in his family. He hid the book within one of planks in his bedroom walls, for later reading. Then, he waited for his mother and father.
Zak could usually tell when his father got back from his labor, he usually reeked of the stuff he called "gods water" and was noisy and belligerent. It was at this point Zak normally got boxed in the ear because he was a "mistake" and a multitude of other things his father called him. His mother was treated no better than he was.
Zak's mother was a small brown haired Asian woman, his father married her soon after he arrived in Japan to help with reconstruction. Zak always loved her cheery disposition, it seemed to balance out his father...most of the time. Her name was...Mutsumi.
This night was the nastiest Zak had ever seen his father, in addition to the usual rowdiness he had struck his mother several times. The whole while Zak shook in his bed, too afraid to do anything but curl up and pray for it to be over. He wished for his family to be happy again, like they used to be. Just one big Happy family. Zak reach into his wall, pulled out the journal, and opened its pages.
Authors note: Yes, I am back, and its definitely good to be back, you may be wondering how in the hell this has anything to do with love hina or Negima...all in good time my readers...all in good time.
