Together We're Whole

Episode 0: Prologue

She attacked the villagers in Vietnam. She attacked everything that moved. In the past, we watched in hurt as our sister was thought of as a monster

"Saya-nee-chan," The woman holding her stomach, while being held by her follower, sighed with sadness. She tried and failed to step in and save those poor people from her wrath, but was pulled back by the other woman. She winced and looked down to her wound, that hadn't healed in its proper time.

She looked away from the horrendous attacks this 'Saya' girl was giving to the innocent people rather than most of the monsters that lurked the area.

Saya slashed through the humans and the monsters as if both the innocent and guilty were her enemies. The villagers' cries echoed the land and fires blazed throughout the village. It was as if hell had been released here, but no angel was there to stop it.

Children's screams ceased as you heard the sword stab through the body like a needle entering its needle-ball. She approached a pair twins and smirked evilly. The female standing next to the handicapped woman looked away; she knew the twins fate.

"May! NO!" She yelped after the girl leapt into the battlefield. It was too late to stop the girl from running into the battle. The twins held one another, soothing each other's fears; they knew they were going to die right there, together. She raised her sword and slashed one of the twins off of the other.

"KiJai!" The boy screamed running to his siblings rescue, "Open your eyes!" He pleaded to the Gods to help his brother out. Saya walked to the brothers; heaving for air she raised her arm again.

"Together we're whole, KiJai. I'm here," He said as she grasped his brother's hand and fiercely shut his eyes close. He felt a hand push him back. He heard swords collided and moan of pain from one of the persons. That woman blocked the attack just in time for it to just hit her arm. Luckily, Saya had not refilled her sword with blood just for these humans, May thought relieved in her mind.

"Get on my back if you can; I saw that you two have lost a lot of blood," He nodded and put his brother on her back, and put himself on also. She pushed their weight to a comfortable position as she blocked most of Saya's attacks.

May jumped back to the bushes and retreated to the other female, "I shall take my leave from this mess and put these two into care before they lose to much blood," She signaled to the bushes and two people jumped ahead to check out the area.

"Good-bye, sister, and be well before your long sleep," She said putting a hand to her shoulder and faintly smiled at the unconscious twins. 'May,' she thought to herself agonizingly. She looked back to the deplorable condition the village was, and was grief-stricken when she looked into her sister's eyes.

May ran to the nearest cleared spot so she could tend to the children's wounds. Her vision became blurry as she stopped for a breather.

"May-sama, let me hold them," She shook her head 'no' and laid them down to the tree.

"You can't help Saya with this battle! She must, in the future, learn how to cope the events she did in the past, even if it did hurt you also. It's a lesson we all have to learn, you too."

May sat next to the twins and checked their heartbeat. It was slowly stopping. She had to do it. She cut her hand and placed it to her mouth and sucked some of her own blood. "I'll raise these children to the best that I can," she felt her eyes warm as she put her mouth to the first twin. She then put her mouth to the second one and held both of their hands as they fiercely opened their eyes and shook out of control. May's weary eyes couldn't take it anymore and released a lone tear. The female follower wiped it before she said:

"Together we're whole,"
