Prologue
Many centuries back in time, long before the creation of humans, the world was at peace, all living creatures living in harmony. That is, until two races were brought forth from the womb of Chaos, Origin of all things. They were known as the Youkai and the Tenshi, the Demons and the Angels. From their very birth, they were against each other, as they were complete opposites. It was Light against Darkness, though not necessarily good against evil.
The opposition continued throughout the centuries before a miracle occurred, although most believe it to be a curse. A Youkai and a Tenshi had fallen for each other, and they created a child, the Bridge between the two races. Such a thing crated from the abomination of a relationship, it was unforgivable.
As such, the couple was executed and sent to Chaos, the two races hoping they would never return. However, Chaos had a different agenda for them.
As for the Child, he was saved from the same fate as his parents, for the Tenshi had shown him mercy. The Child had been labeled the Abomination by the Youkai, the Miracle by the Tenshi. The Child was known more commonly by a label named after the reason behind the Cursed Joining. After being spared his fate, the Child disappeared.
No one knew of his fate after that, but centuries after the incident, a new race was created from his bloodline. However, the Youkai feared the new race, who had inherited both the powers of Light and Darkness.
And so, they cursed the Human race to lose those powers, although some retained a portion of their strength. Satisfied, the Youkai had left it as that, confident that they would never be opposed by such power again.
They never thought that another would be created…

The steady dripping of water could be heard throughout the dark cavern over the murmuring of the Heads of the Clans. Such a thing, they never thought that it would happen. They should have killed him at birth. They should have sent him back to Chaos. But no, the Elder was too soft, almost enough to be considered one of those damned Tenshi. What if this Child found the other? The Abomination was still alive after all. He was even older than the Elder, all the others before him dead. If the Abomination taught the Child all he knew, the Clans wouldn't be able to restrain their combined power.
The murmurs died down as a growl echoed through the room. The Elder was ready. The doors opened, and he walked in. the Child, the second Abomination, horrid and yet fascinatingly beautiful. Shoulder-length, blood-red tinged, spiky blond hair framed a handsome face as cold violet eyes stared out defiantly, head held high, proudly showing the whisker-like marks on his cheeks to them. He stood tall at five foot eight, golden fox ears erect as his nine silver-tipped tails swayed lazily. The only thing that countered the graceful demonic appearance was the pair of white wings on his back, feathers blood-red on the edges, giving the appearance of pure innocence tainted with blood.
The man walked forward and stood at the center of the room, tilting his head back to stare at the Elder as bangs fell over unreadable eyes. A voice rumbled out, deep and emotionless, from the darkness.
"Child, thou hast committed a great crime. We had claimed thou, protected thou. And yet, thou repays us by tainting our most precious treasure. That is unforgivable. Therefore, I have decided thusly. Thy punishment shall be that of Rebirth!"
Instantly, whispers flared among the Heads as the man's eyes widened in shock. They'd been expecting an execution, not this! An ancient punishment, it was the harshest verdict ever made, rarely practiced if at all. It required Chaotic Chakra drawn from the victim in order to perform the ritual, a rare energy gifted from Chaos herself. The Child was stronger than the Heads had realized.
The Ritual drew forth the Chakra, using it to basically seal the person's powers as they die, and then revive them before the soul could reach Chaos's womb. The body would by then have been turned to that of a small human child. The newly Cursed child would then be released and the Hunt would begin as all those from the races which had witnessed the Ritual would hunt down the child. Whoever found the child first would be able to do whatever they wished with it. Normally, whatever they wished to do would be tortuous and painful, before finally allowing the child the release of death.
Cold amethyst eyes flared with rage, changing to blood-red rubies as the man jumped forward, fists clenched.
"You can't do this! The Ritual was banned from being performed! Under no circumstances must it be performed on a Youkai or a Tenshi! You can't just up and do this as you like!"
The Elder's reply to this outburst had even the most indifferent Head frozen at the cruel, blunt truth.
"Ah, true that may be, but that does not apply to thou. Thou art not a Youkai. Nor art thou a cursed Tenshi. Thou art not even a lowly human. Thou art much worse."
The man lowered his head, not wanting them to see the pain in his cerulean eyes.
"Thou art a Fallen."

Alright, who guessed where the name "Fallen" came from in the story? Anyone? Anyone at all? Well, it came from the fact that the demon and angel had "fallen for each other". Not ta mention that the demons consider humans lower than themselves, so a hanyou (half-demon) would practically be a demon who has "fallen" from high ranks. Get it now? If ya guessed right, congrats, hav a cookie! Ya should know who the man was by now.
Anyways, plz do as I asked n take a look at my prof n poll. Review, plz, it'll motivate me n make me write faster! Ja!
