The Fire That Couldn't Burn

BL4CK R4BBIT- Hey everyone!

Miku- We're back with a new story!

Len- Now before we begin, we would like to clear some things up

BL4CK R4BBIT- The idea of this story was from the anime Kaze no Stigma!

Miku- The Hatsune family has a HUGE estate

Len- In this chapter Miku is 10, I am 11, and Rin is 9

Kaito- I am old

Len-Miku is cute

Miku blushed

Miku- Aww Len…

BL4CK R4BBIT- Anyways, let's start the story!

The atmosphere was heavy

All our family members were on the ground

Why? Why did I do it?

Len, my cousin was on the floor across from me

He got shot down from just one attack

He looked at me in defeat

"It's yours Miku." He replied sadly

My father Kaito and mother Meiko stood up and talked with Len's Mother Neru

They all looked at him

Slowly, everyone left the room

My family was the Hatsune family. We are a family of fire magic users.

We were the main family but we were not the strongest. We were only second strongest to the Kagamines. But they still supported us.

Len just sat there all alone.

I put my hand on his shoulder

"It's all right Len. You can have it."

He shook his head

"I lost… the sword is rightfully yours… I'm just weak…"

"No you're not Len…"

"Look at me… I am a Kagamine but I can't even use fire magic"

"Well…"

"I'm just a fire that can't burn anything..."

He smiled.

His blond hair swayed to one side and revealed his eyes

His eyes were like none others.

Full of regret and sadness

"You're right. I'm just being paranoid"

Len gave a small laugh

"Yup"

I stood up

"HEY! I AM NOT PARANOID"

"But you just admitted it…"

"Well…"

"Then are you an idiot?"

"…"

Just then, Kaito, Meiko, and Neru came in

"Len… We need to talk" said Kaito in a serious tone

"As you wish"

Neru looked at me

It seemed like she cried.

Her eyes were moist

"Miku dear… could you leave us for a moment?"

I nodded and went to my room

I waited for them to finish

I wanted to play with Len some more.

I was about to get something to eat when Rin, Len's sister busted through the door

"MIKU! MIKU!"

"What's wrong Rin?" I asked

"IT'S LEN!"

"Calm down. What about Len?"

Rin sobbed

"HE'S LEAVING!"

"What! It might just be a little trip Rin."

"NO! HE'S LEAVING HOME!"

"W-where did you hear this?"

"F-from K-Kaito sama"

I got up and rushed out the door

I stormed to my father's room

Kaito, Meiko, and Neru were sitting together

"FATHER!"

"Miku… watch your tone…" replied Kaito calmly

"I HEARD LEN WAS LEAVING!"

"He's not leaving." Said Meiko

I sighed with relief

"Rin must have heard wrong"

"She did" nodded Kaito "We banished him"

I just stood there

"B-banished?"

"He lacked to power to control fire. He is no longer my son" Said Neru

"BUT HE'S YOUR SON!"

"MIKU! QUIET!" yelled Kaito

"Len is now not a member of the Hatsune family. Or the branch family of the Kagamines." Said Meiko

I fell to my knees sobbing

"How could you send him away? He was my friend…"

"Miku… please understand. We of the Hatsune family need strong people in the Kagamine and other branch families to support us. Anyone useless will only get in our way." Said Kaito

"For that reason you banish him?" I asked harshly

"We had no other choice"

I ran out without turning back.

"Len…"

I ran as quickly as possible to see if I could still catch up to Len

I reached him just as he was about to leave.

"LEN!" I called

He turned around and smiled at me

"Hey Miku… I'm guessing you heard what happed to me"

"How could they? Come back with me and help me persuade them to let you stay!"

He shook his head

"Sorry Miku… but I'm banished…"

"What kind of reasoning is that you idiot?" I cried

Rin came running toward us

"NII-SAN!" cried Rin

"Oh… Hey there Rin…" said Len calmly

"Nil-san… Don't go…"

"Don't worry Rin… I'll see you soon. It's not a goodbye" replied Len

"When? When can I see you again?" I asked

"Who knows?"

My brother Mikuo ran towards us and pulled me and Rin away

"Mikuo? What are you doing?"

"Miku… don't talk to this disgrace"

"Don't call him a disgrace!"

I looked at Len

He just smiled and turned

Big tears dripped down my face

"LEN! PROMISE ME YOURE GONNA COME BACK"

He turned around.

Len looked at me, then Rin, then Mikuo

His eyes were once again full of sadness

"I can't promise anything…"

With that, he ran away

Mikuo let me go

I fell to my knees again and cried

Mikuo looked at me.

"Let's go Miku. It's time for the ceremony."

Rin looked at me in sadness

"Nii-san is coming back right?"

I wiped my tears

"He better come back. Or I'm going to drag him back"

I turned around and went into the family shrine

I knelt in front of a sword and my father

"Are you ready Miku?"

"Yes father."

Kaito raised up his hands

"O' guardian of fire… please give your blessing to my daughter Miku… and lend her your powers!"

The sword rose and burst into flames

"Miku… take hold of the sword"

"Cautiously, I took hold of the sword"

"Our family is a family of fire users as you know. We cannot get hurt by fire and we can use fire magic."

I nodded

"We are currently the strongest family. You are chosen as the next successor. The guardian of fire has accepted you and has given you his blessing. The sword you are holding his called Ignis. It is the pact you and the guardian of fire share"

"I understand father"

"Good… now make me proud unlike Len"

I flinched at the statement

Len... I will bring you back no matter what
