Disclaimer: Yami no Matsuei is not mine but since no new installments of Yami are in sight; fans like me feel deprive and will settle for fanfiction reading and writing.

Conspiracy Theory: Muraki spikes writer's muses to inspire lemon scenes with him in the starring role and then kills off said muses leaving a trail of unfinished stories.

Warning: This is a work in progress. Expect updates to be slow.

SNOW KING

Once upon a time, two angels made a magic mirror to find good in the world. It was a most wonderful mirror, always finding moments that reflected God's grace. The two angels were praised highly for their work, but evil found a way to use it to divide them. The angels discovered pride and nursed it in their hearts, each began to think he was more responsible than the other for the mirror's special capability. Their pride broke them apart and they were both cast out of heaven.

Evil invited them both to hell. One accepted but the other refused. He didn't want to be anywhere near his former partner. He decided to stay on earth and live as a mortal.

Over time the two angels forgave each other and wanted to be friends again but when they met they found they had changed too much to be together. Hell's angel had learned the ways of evil and even his love was tainted with dark desires. Earth's angel had taken the mortal life and now had children as his legacy.

The children did not know their father was a former angel. He was a good father. A good man but they never saw him as an angel.

Hell's angel did not want his friend to die as a mortal and offered him immortality. He was refused. Earth's angel knew to be immortal again that he would have to kill all his children and he could not accept that. His children made him happy. He loved his children. Hell's angel looked at the children very carefully. They seemed so ordinary, but as he watched them a part of him wanted to have children too. One of the children looked at him and he found himself looking into beautiful violet eyes.

He decided he would have a child just as beautiful as that one and that the name would be Murasaki. He searched for a bride but no mere mortal woman was good enough. He married an ice demon princess. A year later twins were born. Beautiful boys in perfect form, but the father was disappointed.

One baby was almost with out color. Skin like snow, hair like silver silk and eyes like metallic silver mirrors. Was this Murasaki?

The mother was delighted and called him Muraki.

The other baby looked like a miniature copy of the father. The father looked at him with favor. He could not be Murasaki but he would be named Saki.

Hell's angel made himself vulnerable but having children. He was no longer immortal.

The boys knew they were different from everyone else around them. Saki discovered he could be immortal if he killed his father and his brother. He killed both parents but failed when he tried to kill Muraki, he was killed instead.

Muraki grew up.

He found out about his father's friend and decided to seek out the descendants.

He made his own mirror to find them.

He found one in groove of Sakura trees. He found another in the mountains. Then others were in the valley. Time had scattered them over the land but the mirror found them all. There was one that caught Muraki's interest above all the others. The one he considered most beautiful among them. The darkest of desires consumed him to have the one known as Tsuzuki Asato.
