BH: I'm probably jumping into this story way too soon, but I've got everything laid out, just need to finish writing in sweatdrop
Rhane: shaking her head Don't you have enough on your plate? Y'know, that poetry conteset?
BH: Hey! I've got the thing written, don't I? Speaking of, anybody who's crazy enough to read this, please go to my fictionpress account (it's on my profile page) and read my poem Where You Are, I'm entering it in a contest in a few weeks and I want some more opinions on it. Jeeze, I'm pathetic.
Nathan: We won't hold that against you, BH...
Rhane: What the angel said
BH: Right, anyway, on with the show. Heh, a real fanfiction this time.. wow...
Summary: A child with no voice, a family with no future, and a chance for Netto to right a wrong that happened two centuries before he was born. Old magick and new technology will clash, a cursed family will rise to take their revenge against the Hikaris, and a prophecy two thousand years in the making will be fulfilled.Seven souls, six generations, five dead, four alive, three years, two families, and one chance to stop everything they love from being destroyed. When the clock reaches zero, one family will end.
Rating: PG-13 for slash, blood (and lots of it), swearing, and a character death
Couples: Other than LaikaxSearchman, which I promised my teacher (yes, you read that right, I said teacher) as part of my extra credit work (weird teacher, very cool) kinda undecided as of yet, its looking like a possible Blues/Netto/Enzan triangle... I'm thinking of pulling the same stunt I did in BROTHERS...
Rhane: Oh dear...
Quote of the Chapter: "Lord grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those I had to kill because they pissed me off." -Unknown

Prologue
"My babies..."
"They're beautiful, Mother."
"Look at their eyes. Have you ever seen any like them?"
"They'll do great things, I guarantee, Mother. I can feel magick in them."
"So can I, my nephew."
"I don't know, onee-chan, there's something... wrong."
"Momma!"
"Momma!"
Daddy, what's wrong with Momma?'
"Come away, little ones. This isn't something you need to see."
"But Momma...!"
"There's nothing you can do for her now. Come with me, let your father work, children."
"Uncle Riku, what's wrong with Momma? Why's there blood coming out of her mouth?"
"...I don't know, Kuro-kun."
"But she'll be okay, right?"
"I don't know, Haku-chan, I really don't know."
"Kuro-nii! Where are you?"
"I'm here, onee-san, what is it?"
"Are you okay? You look a little... weird..."
"I'm fine, onee-san. How's onii-san doing?"
"He's bleeding, just like Momma was. Uncle Riku says he probably won't last much longer... Kuro-nii?"
"Yes?"
"Why is everyone suddenly getting sick? What's going on?"
"I don't know, onee-san."
"And why's it only our family?"
"I don't know..."
"Five dead."
"Did you hear? Five dead, three children and both parents, in two years."
"Only two survivors, the youngest, Kuro and Hikari."
"They're only six years old."
"Their uncle survived, too."
"But he's sick, isn't he?"
"Yeah, he's not supposed to last much longer."
"Those poor children..."
"I don't know, that little Kuro boy seems a little... odd to me."
"Yes, there's certainly something odd in his eyes, but his whole family's dying around him. He's allowed to be a little odd."
"They're both strange, if you ask me. Those eyes... and there's always weird accidents happening when they're around..."
"Kuro-nii! Kuro-nii!"
"Why are you bothering me now, onee-san? Why are you crying?"
"He's gone..."
"I see..."
"Nii-kun, what's wrong with you? Don't you even care anymore?"
"Why should I?"
"They're our family..."
"They're just humans, onee-san."
"What are you saying?"
"They're only humans, onee-san, they exist only to make us stronger."
"You... you killed them..."
"...Hai, onee-chan, I did."
"Did you hear?"
"Isn't he a little young to be getting married?"
"And to his uncle's daughter, no less."
"I hear he's got his family's sickness, and that's why he's getting married."
"Kuro? Oh, I hope that awful boy dies, he's frightening."
"Don't say that, his sister's just over there. She'll curse you, I know it."
"Poor girl, she's so thin. Thirteen years old... and she'd be so pretty... just like her parents..."
"There's rumor that he wants to marry her, too."
"That's awful!"
"That boy's getting out of control..."
"There's nothing she can do, though. He's the head of their family now, she's got to listen to him."
"Poor child, you know who she really wants to be with, don't you?"
"That Hikari boy, right? The one that moved here a while ago with his baby sister?"
"He'll never let her. She's cursed, I swear..."
"That whole family seems to be cursed..."
"I pity any child born into that family."
Three hundred years later
"Cursed?"
"That's what nii-san tells me."
"You don't think it's true, do you?"
"I dunno what to think anymore, En-chan. But everyone in my family's died from the disease as long as anyone can remember."
"What about you? You don't have it."
"..."
"You do..."
"It's not that bad, it hurts a lot, and I'm losing feeling in my arm already... but I'll be fine, En-chan. Doctors are discovering more every day, aren't they? And nii-san's had it most of his life, and he's not getting any worse."
"That's being too hopeful. Doctors can't beat magic, can they?"
"Do you really believe that stuff?"
"Do you?'
"I asked first."
"...No."
"Good. Neither do I."
"It's time to go home. I need to talk to my daughter."
"Of course, Kusanagi-san. Bye, Yu-chan."
"Ja ne, En-chan."
