Disclaimer: I don't own them. Nope, not at all. Wish I did though. *slucks about the fact she doesn't own them* Notes: THIS WILL BE YAOI. The pairing is Ken/Ran but none in this first chapter. Sorry yaoi fans it will be soon. This is AU. *slaps a big AU sticker on it* Enjoy! ^_^!

A boy, no older then three, ran to try to his mother. "Mommy, Mommy!!" His father was cleaved in two right be for his eyes on his third birthday. That was only three months ago. Now the same people were destroying his family, home, and village.

His mother knew her cruse when her son was born. She knew he would be their hero. He would be persecuted and called a one of them. He would be beat and blamed. His life would be a hard one and she would not be there to guide it. "Go Ran!! Run!!"

He would not listen. He wanted the one thing that brought him comfort. He couldn't lose her. Who would be there to sooth his fears after a nightmare? Who would teach him to cook? Who would feed him? His father was already gone. He had no one left. "Mommy!!" His little hand grasped onto her armored leg.

Her husband came from a line of great warriors, same as her. Her husband and she knew this day would come. They prepared for it for the last three years. "Ran, please listen to Mommy. You have to hide. Remember where we hid when Daddy. . .do you remember?"

He nodded. "Yes, you're not gonna make me go dere all alone?" His eyes pleaded with her.

"Little one, you have to. . ."

A solider burst into the room. He was bloody from all the fighting. Ran clung tighter onto his mother. "Captain! They have breached the outer wall and some are already in the inner city." Ran wondered what that meant.

"Understand this you have hold them off as long as you can. Remember, Corporal, they cannot find my son." She ordered as she lifted up her precious bundle.

"Understood. God speed." He left to join the losing army.

"Hold this, Dear. Thank you. Now don't drop it. Remember hold onto Mommy as tight as you can."

He rolled is eyes. He had been flying with his parents since he couldn't remember when. He was always in their arms when they did drills. Ran just glared at his mother. "I know, I know. Dis isn't de first time I've done dis."

"Ok. Here were go." She flew as fast as she could and hoped none of the Shadow Army would follow. Luck was never her friend.

"Who are dose people?" They wore armor like his Mommy but it was black with spikes. Their eyes!! They were blood red. "Dey're scaring me."

She knew who they were. They were the Shadow's best flyers. "Ran, listen to me."

"You not gonna put me down?" He clasped onto her like she was the last person on the planet. He didn't want to go hide in the forest down below. It was scary and he knew this time his parents wouldn't be there to lead him out.

"Honey, you have to let go. Remember the move you and Daddy practiced?" She dodged another arrow. "Listen to me Ran. You have to let go when I tell you. When you hit the trees, go under the tops and fly as fast as you can."

"Daddy told me to newer open my wings unless it is an emerthency." He was caught between a rock and a hard place. He wanted to obey is father's last wish but his mother was telling him to go against it. He was very confused for a three year old.

"Listen!! We don't have a lot of time. You have to let go now. Remember I love you." She did the hardest thing a mother could do. Let go of her son and hoped fate would be kind. "Promise me you will never show your wings."

"I promise. I promise, Mommy." He fell like a brick until he was under the treetops. He flew as fast as he could to try and keep up with his mother. Then, he noticed red eyes were on him. "Mommy save me!!!" He cried and tried to out fly him. "Mommy!! MOMMY!!" He ran into something. "Let me go. Noo, I don't wanna die!!" He cried.

"Shh. . .I'm here." His mother grasped him. "You were going to kill my son. Weren't you? Not today, bubby!"

"Mommy." He said in awe. His mother glowed blue before unleashing her energy blast. It hit the Shadow warrior and wiped a five-mile clearing around them.

"Everything is ok. Everything is going to be ok." She set him down. "Now let me take a look at you. You seem ok. How do you feel?"

"I'm scared." He was quivering. He just wanted to go home. He didn't like the forest. He just wanted to go home.

*snap*

Oooo.cliffhanger..*laughs evilly* *gets hit in the head by a flying object* *glares at little Ran* Ok, ok I know this was really short. The next chapter will be longer promise!! *ducks things being thrown at by fans* Ok PEOPLE, I will write a longer chapter for next time and will try not to make anymore typos (key word: try). If you couldn't understand Ran.oh well I tried to make it sound like a two almost three year old. (if you have one in your house or know of what I'm speaking you know the pain of trying to understand them) I'll stop blabbing now. Until next time. ^_^! Keep reading Ken/Ran/Ken yaoi!
