A/N:

For clarification, before anyone gets confused, Hima is Ghirahim. You probably would have figured that out anyway but, I wanted to make sure. Oh, yes, and please, please please, do not assume that I have stolen the idea for writing Ghirahim's past from anyone! Before I'd even read one of Ghirahim's fan-fiction's I wanted to do this. I really, truly did not just decide to do this because it seems other people like to as well. Plus, my version of Ghirahim's past I think you'll find is much, much different. I hope you enjoy!

Dewa walked sluggishly through the door. "Ugh… men are such perverts. They're only after one thing." She shook her head and rubbed her temples, then smirked slyly. "Ah, well. I can only profit from it."

"Mother!" Hima called, running to his mother. "You're home! Look," he said, holding out a card that read 'Happy Birthday!' in big lettering. "I made it for you. For your birthday!" He smiled innocently.

Dewa looked down at her son, disapprovingly. She picked up the picture using her index finger and thumb as if it was toxic waste. "You call this a card?" she asked, skeptically. She crumpled it and threw it back out the door. She sauntered past him and plopped herself on the couch.

"You don't like it?" Hima asked, confused. He had tried so hard to make her smile. Couldn't he ever get it right?

Dewa sighed as if it should be obvious. "No, Hima. Why would I? Couldn't I at least get a smart child?"

Hima swallowed back his tears. "I'm… I'm sorry."

Dewa nodded. "You should be, too. After I even take the trouble to raise you when I could and should have just left you out on the streets, the thanks I get is a… strange drawing. Just leave me alone."

"Yes, Mama." Hima exited the room quickly.

Dewa watched him go. "Hmph…" It really wasn't fair how she had had to get pregnant. The other prostitutes were luckier then her, she supposed. But still, she was mad. Ever day, she regretted keeping the child. Once he was born, she should have left him in the cold, but she was stupid enough to think that she would be able to afford a life for two.

Hima wandered Skyloft aimlessly. Sometimes he wished the place were bigger so he could have more places to hide. More small places to curl into and cry. Unfortunately, it wasn't getting any bigger.

"There he is," a girl his age whispered as he passed. "That son of a whore …" It was Karane. She had been his friend his friend for a day but then she found out what his mothers job was and had abandoned him. She had made sure no one else went near him either. If he could undo on thing in his life, it would be talking to her. She was the reason he was alone. He had another friend too, before her. Yes, Link and he had been good friends, but as soon as his mothers occupation was found out no one went near him. Occasionally, Link would glance at him and then quickly turn away as if Hima was poisonous. He had found another friend long ago. Now that Zelda girl was all her needed.

Hima breathed in and out slowly to keep the tears from coming. What did they matter, anyway? He thought angrily. They weren't important, anyway. He began the spiel in his mind that he would always use when he started to become overwhelmed. I am Hima. My mothers name is Dewa and I want her to love me. Everyone on Skyloft doesn't matter, even if they don't like me. It was an endless game he had invented ever since Karane made sure he had no friends.

The game never helped him much though. It would give him something to distract himself with if he was lucky.

Hima wandered to a diving platform meant for the knights of Skyloft. He looked down at the endless fall. So many times he had wondered if it could really be all that bad to just let go and leave. He would imagine the fall. It would be peaceful, surely. And then he would be gone so abruptly and never have to suffer again. It was frightening, yet he couldn't help but think that it might be the only answer. It had to be better then whatever this thing he call a life was. So, without giving it another thought, Hima leaped off the edge, falling deep into the abyss.

I hope you enjoyed it! This is rather new for me so if you could, could tell me how I did in a review? Thanks for reading!
