XXX Prologue XXX
Long ago when I thought about the future the only thing I saw was an unending path of crimson. There had been nothing for me except for killing and eventually I knew… my own death. It was inevitable. It seemed far closer than I thought it would be at the moment. I could barely hold my damn eyes open. My breath fell from my mouth in harsh gasps. My whole body ached; I was covered with dirt…sweat…blood. Yes, my future was gone now. This fate was truly unavoidable with the path I had taken. It was over. I have no regrets. I did what I had to. My eyes slid shut.
I heard her yell my name, I felt her kneel next to me and lean close. Why was she here? I thought I told her to stay away? I forced my eyes open, I trembled. "Fool, I told you to stay away," She held my hands in hers, tears streamed down her cheeks in torrents. She reached down, my eyes followed the movement of her hands, I choked with panic as she unsheathed my sword from its sheath. Move! I screamed mentally. Move, stop her! She's the reason you sacrificed yourself! My vision temporarily turned to black, no, don't die yet.
"I can't let you leave this world," Her body pressed close to mine, it was unbearably warm. I trembled with terror. She pressed her neck onto my mouth; I could feel the vein there throbbing with fresh blood. I convulsed, feeling a rush of bloodlust. Get away! Damn you damn you damn you! Move! My mind shuddered with horror, screamed no, but my body moved on my own. My teeth eased into her neck. And then I was gone. I devoured her. I couldn't stop myself!
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. Forgive me for this! I was so vile, so beastly; I ripped her neck open with bloodied fangs. This is why they want her dead. This is why! Because you're a monster. You're a monster! Stop drinking from her; you swore you'd protect her! She stared down at me, I barely noticed as I feasted on her, sucking every last drop of life. Her face was pale; she trembled and wrapped her arms around me. My own hands dropped to my sides. I cursed the strength that flowed through my veins, why could I only be physically strong…not mentally. Why was my will so damn weak! I wanted to scream my sorrow and agony. "Lucy," I whispered in horror.
Her fingers were soft and oh so cold on my face, her lips were even colder as they met mine. It lasted a long time; I filled it with all my love, my sorrow, my guilt! I couldn't control myself! "I'm sorry," I sobbed into her shoulder, but she was gone, as if my mouth on hers had been her only means to stay alive. I sat up, she collapsed on her back. Her eyes were like glass, glossy and unseeing. She didn't move at all. I slammed my hands down on the ground next to her, "Please come back to me! Lucy!"
I sat up with a scream, eyes wide and breath labored. I clutched at my hair. That dream. Again and again. There was a pain in my chest, the agony of losing her. Losing Lucy. I climbed out of bed, covered with sweat. There was a sound down the hallway, feet on the ground. Two people appeared in the doorway, a whitehaired woman in a kimono and a girl with white hair that was shorter. They both looked at me. "Scarlet-Sama! Are you alrigh-"
"Get out, who gave you permission to enter here, out of my sight," I roared, they were quick to obey. I pressed my hands against the wall, squeezing my eyes shut. I couldn't get over the sorrow that consumed me at that moment, my beloved, unknown Lucy. Why did she continue to enter my dreams?

Lucy:…I have some mixed feelings, why was I dieing?
Futa-Sama: BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP! Since Set Up became crack, I finally decided to publish the Samurai Story! Enjoy it!
