--This is the past of one of my Rp characters for a yu yu hakusho site I'm on. I don't know if everyone will enjoy reading this, because they aren't on the site I'm on. But, if you wish to read, be my guest. This story background takes place in feudal times in Japan.---

The rain fell on the wooden board roof. Each sound melted into each other's forming a constant noise. A female youkai rocked the small daughter she held in her arms, Mirai who was no older then 7 years old. The youkai's older son, Diade' who was 10 years old sat by the door of the small bathhouse they sat hid in. Her husband was mad, raving and that's why she had gone to her father's home. Outside she could hear screams of the humans that fell to her husband, Kage. It was said that because of how horrible Kage's grandfather had treated the people he ruled over, as a lord, he was punished to see things that were to come. And because of this curse Kage now had the belief that a horrible death would befall his family, his son, his wife, his daughter. That was why he was trying to kill them at the moment, to save them from a horrid death that was awaiting them.

Daide' stood up, unsheathing his sword. He was small for his age, barely making it to the waist of his father.

"He's coming, mother. Protect my little sister, and I will be able to protect you." The female youkai opened her mouth to speak when the door of the bathhouse opened and in the doorway, sword unsheathed and bloodied stood Kage. He looked like death himself. Sweat dotted his forehead and held a red tinge from the mixture of blood with it. His mouth twisted into a foul smirk.

"My own son, my flesh and blood will even go against me? Your death will be and honorable one, Daide'." Daide' hadn't even blinked before his blood splashed the floor and his body fell, incomplete. Kage then turned to look at his wife and daughter.

The female youkai let Mirai roll from her lap as she stood her up. The young youkai rubbed her eyes, sleepily and gave a small yawn. Her eyes filed with fear, sickness as she saw her brother on the floor. The female youkai turned her daughter's head away from the sight as she placed a necklace around her daughter's neck. "Mirai, this will open the door to a great evil. Go there when you know you will die, only then, I want you to go there, go to the house of the youkai we talked about, the one who was cursed beyond life." In her other hand the youkai took out a dagger. Mirai's eyes widened. "What's wrong mother? What's wrong!?" Mirai's voice was like the chirping of a bird, just hatched, trying to call its mother back to the nest. Mirai's mother's eyes softened.

"Mirai, you must carry no hatred for any one or anything, even your father." As soon as her mother had finished talking Mirai opened her mouth to ask what she was talking about. But no words ever came from her lips. Her words died within her as her mother used her dagger to end the suffering her father would put her through if she lived on.

Mirai's world was plunger into darkness.
