Chapter 1: The Beginning of an End

"No! Please don't hurt her!" A woman yelled out as a man held her daughter by her neck in his hand. Tears cascaded down the woman's cheeks as she watched her daughter try to get free. Her vision blurred with her tears and her face scrunched up while she kneeled on the ground begging for the man to stop hurting her daughter.

"Pitiful." The man said while staring disgustingly down at the crying woman in front of him, "Don't you know who I am?"

"Yes! I know who you are!" The woman yelled at him only to be kicked by his boot and sent into the ground. The man dropped her daughter and stalked up to the woman to put his boot on her neck while glaring down at her. He put more pressure causing her to gag. Then suddenly a blade was pressed to his neck.

"Mihawk Dracule. What an unexpected surprise." The man said while looking at the male who appeared at his side.

"You went after my wife and daughter of course I would show up." Mihawk replied courtly to him as his gold eyes bore into the other males eyes. They stared each other down until they heard coughing behind them. The little girl was waking up.

She raised her head and her eyes landed on Mihawk. Tears formed at the corners of her eyes before one trailed down her face. "P-papa. . ." She croaked out with a hand covering her bruised throat.

"Fubuki." Mihawk softly replied while sadness clouded his features.

"M-Mihawk. . ." The woman on the ground gasped out, "T-take her a-and run." Her face contorting in pain as the male above her pressed down even harder.

Mihawk didn't say anything till he swiped his sword at the male crushing his wife's windpipe. The male jumped away but not before the tip of the sword made a small cut on his cheek. Mihawk ran at him his face contorted in rage as his gold eyes glared at the male.

The woman shifted onto her side squeezing her eyes shut as she coughed before opening her eyes slightly focusing on her daughter. She heard her husband and the male fighting behind her but she kept looking at her daughter. Her little Fubuki.

She slowly raised herself onto her elbows while a grimace came unto her face. Then she was on her knees with new tears falling from her eyes as she continued to watch her daughter, who in turn was watching her father fight with this awe expression on her face. But that expression turned into shock and anguish as her father was kicked to the ground with a wound on his side bleeding heavily.

"PAPA!" Fubuki yelled as terror took over her face and tears falling from her eyes.

The male turned to her and then suddenly ran at her, but she wasn't focusing on him she was still looking at her father on the ground trying to get up. But her mother saw and found the strength to run to her daughter.

"Fubuki!" Her mother yelled out while going in front of her only to have a sword pierce through torso and come out the other side.

Fubuki felt something drip onto her face before she turned her face upward to see her mother with a sword sticking out of her and bleeding. Her eyes widen even more as terror and anguish danced across her face.

"M-mom. . ." She said hoarsely as tears cascaded down her cheeks in a waterfall. "N-no. . . Please. . ." A plea came from her to only fall on deaf ears.

The sword was wrenched from her mother causing her to fall to her knees while her head dropped onto her daughters shoulder.

"F-Fubuki. . . My daughter. . .," Her mother said softly as she started to fade away, "My brave and beautiful snow storm." She started as tears fell from her eyes.

"My time h-has come. . . I can't stay with you and your father anymore. . ." She continued as she heard her daughter sob. "Promise me to group strong a-and follow your heart. . . P-promise me. . ." She choked out as her eyes closed and she slowly brought her arms around her daughter.

"I p-promise mom. . ." Fubuki hiccuped out as she sobbed her vision blurry with tears and her hands grasped her mothers shirt.

Her mother smiled before she fading out completely and becoming limp in her daughters grasp.

"Mom. . ." Fubuki softly said feeling her go limp, "Mom w-wake up. . ." She cried out as she held her tightly.

"Bōfū. . ." Mihwak whispered out watching in disbelief as his wife died in his daughter's arm.

The male who attacked them sheathed his sword and walked away from the family he just broke. As he walked away he could still here the little girls cries before they disappeared into the wind.

Oh my god I'm crying. Like tears are coming to my eyes, and I'm the author! Anyway I hope you enjoy this sorrowful first chapter. It gets better sort of. I'm not trying to make it depressing but it turned out that way.
