The breeze was blowing gently, slightly ruffling the leaves in the trees. A young boy was sitting beneath the tall trees, relaxing in their shade. He looked towards the sky and sighed. "Why me? What did I ever do to deserve this kind of life?" He looked at his spirit. "Spirit of fire... Why did you save me that day? It would have been better if I just died..." The spiritlooked back. The boy sighed again. "...I guess I'm going to have to get used to this kind of life... Look at me though!" He stood up. "I'monly five years old and I've already been forced into hiding! I didn't do anything wrong! But..." He sat back down, and his eyes started watering. "I don't know what I did wrong! I didn't do anything! All I did was be born!" He gasped and looked up, tears streaming down his dirty face. "...Even my parents didn't care if I died... No, they wanted me gone!" After a few minutes of sobbing, he started to laugh. The kind of maniacal laughing like when someone gets stressed out, which was exactly what was happening to him. "My own family hates me... I suppose I'll figure out why later on... I just wish that someone would explain everything to me... Spirit of fire... I guess you were the only one who cared... You took me away before they could kill me... The only one who cared..."
He remembered how hard life was. He was still young, yet he was forced to cope for himself. As a baby, the spirit of fire had helped him through, stealing to support him. They had to be constantly on the run, since many despised the crimes they had commited. Oh well. It's not me who has to pay for my crimes, it's my supposed parents... If they didn't try to kill me fire of spirit wouldn't have taken me away and we wouldn't have commited so many crimes. There wouldn't be any need for them. At least now I'm fending for myself... Okasan! Wherever you are! And I don't care if you aren't paying attention to what I'm saying now! But... just...Look! I'm not stealing any more! I'm not doing others any harm!Yet people still hate me... What am I doing wrong...?
The thing he didn't realise was that news spreads. Others had heard of the crimes he did, or at least, his spirit did. But they had always managed to get a good look of the spirit and baby. They sent news of them to nearby towns. They were on the wanted list. Just for trying to live. And all because the Asakura family abandoned me...
He had thought about this before. But now, something was starting to build up in his heart. A formerly hidden presence began to show itself. It was revenge. He had never thought of this before. Fire of spirt senced this and smiled. Everything was going as planned- for it, at least.
