Prologue

Rain poured down onto the streets, continously going down. The streetlights were finally switched on, when the technician noticed that it was it was getting dark already due to the dark clouds. Having turned on the last one no the street he picked up his toolbox and made his way for home, expecting to be greeted by his family. Unfortunately, there was someone who is trying to run away from a family and no one noticed.

"Help….onegai….somebody please help me…"

A woman panted as she ran down the streets through the pouring rain. Wrapped in a blanket, in her arms is a little baby boy. She hugged her baby close to her, covering him from the rain. She has been running for so long that she lost track of time, all she knew that it was already night.

People who she had passed thought she was just a thief running with something she stole. Others thought she was crazy to run around with her baby. But majority, nobody even tried to ask what was wrong or offer help. This didn't stop her from running, she just kept on going and going.

Finally, she stopped in front of a building, ran to the door and began banging on the door as she cried out in a desperate voice, "Help! Please help me!"

It was continued to pour as she banged on the doors of the buildings around her. Nobody answered her cries; no one came to see her crying on the streets carrying her baby. Finding shelter under a small roof above a porch, she hugged her baby closer to her.

"Don't worry…I'll make sure…that you'll survive…"

The baby just looked at his mother, he didn't cry at all. He had hair that was golden yellow and eyes that looked like two amethysts.

As she sat there with the baby, someone started to approach them. Hearing the footsteps, she looked around but the rain was pouring so hard that she could hardly see through the rain. Just when she thought that it was just her imagination, someone reached out to her.

"It's okay", a kind voice said to her as he held out his hand to her.

She just stared at the stranger with an umbrella and holding out his hand. She saw that he has long light yellow hair and a warm smile on his face.

"It's okay", he repeated still holding out his hand. "I'll help you."

A flood of relief covered her body as soon as she heard him say those words. All of a sudden she lunged herself into his arms.

"Arigato…hontoni arigato…" she replied softly, still carrying her precious son.

He just placed one arm around and rested his chin on the crown of her head. Suddenly, he felt her go limp in her arms. Slowly going down on his knees letting her lean on his body for support, he checked to see if she was alright.

"Hey…are you alright?" He asked with a worried voice as he tried to wake her up. "Hey! What's wrong?"

Finally she looked up at him, tears still in her eyes. He took this chance to check her appearance properly. She had short purple hair, although wet from the rain, he looked beautiful. As he gazed into her eyes, he saw that her eyes were of the color of two sapphire stones.

She gently gave her baby to the confused man. A smile was on her face although tears were still flowing from her eyes. "Onegai…take him…"

"N-Nani?" becoming more confused, he dropped the umbrella. Unconsciously, he took the baby from the mother.

Right after he took the baby into his arms, she slowly closed her eyes and as though everything was in slow motion. Shocked, he just stared as she fades away.

"Take care of him…Genjo Sanzo…" She breathed her last words.

As she landed on the ground, the baby started to cry, the man knew right away that she had passed away right in front of him. The man wasn't sure if the baby was crying because he needed something. Or because he knows that his mother was gone.

This was not what he had expected, he had just happen to be walking by and heard her cries. Wanting to help her, he apporached her but just before he could do anything for her, she gave him her baby and left this world. Now that he is the one who will take care of this poor motherless boy.

Knowing that he had just accepted a huge responsibility he made his decision and took out his phone, he dialed a number and waited for someone to answer. Finally, after several rings, someone answered, "Hello?"

"I need some help here" He told the person and then briefly explained what had just happened.

"Right, I'll be there in a short while" the person replied and hung up.

Pocketing the phone, he picked up the umbrella, gently moved the woman's body on the porch and sat down on the porch. All the while, he kept his gaze on the baby who had fallen asleep while crying.

"I guess it's just you and me…" He told the baby softly, although he knew that the baby might not be able to hear him. "I wonder what's next…Genjo Sanzo…"
