Disclaimers: I don't own Kayura or the Ancient One, those belong to whoever own them....I just can't remember who at the moment heh heh -_-;
Author's Note: This is my first fic dealing with Angst so let me know what you think...this was actually a fun chapter to write...in a morbid sort of way. Well here's the story =D
As Kayura walked through the Gardens of the Netherworld she felt a pang of guilt
hit her, she looked to her Staff for comfort, but the memories flooded to her.
"Mommy, when will Daddy be home?" I asked my mother. "Kayura, dear, your so
innocent you need not know these things." Was her simple reply, Mother had hoped to
quiet me with that, it worked...for the moment. She had a large hat over her head,
covering her deep blue eyes, her sapphire hair was in a ponytail at the bottom of her neck.
She wore the white garments with red, and purple scarves, she was a priestess in our Clan.
Our clan was the called the Skakujo, my father, Kaosu, who was generally called the
Ancient One because of his age, was the leader. My mother told me that he went to a city
to talk peace, but I could feel that something wasn't right. My mother had to of read my
thoughts because she looked at me and said "Everything will be all right, Kayura, don't
worry about your father."
It was then that it happened...hundreds of troops came, slaughtering everyone I
loved. My mother ran with me into our house and handed me a wrapped bundle. "Kayura
you must leave this place or they will kill you too. Take this and run as far away from here
as you can. Do you understand me?" I nodded tears forming in my eyes I then chose my
words very carefully, "Mommy, what will happen to you?" She gave me a weak smile and
a brief hug, although it seemed as though she didn't want to let me go. "Kayura,
sweetheart, don't worry about me, I'll be fine. Now you run from this place right now, got
it?" She told me with tears in her eyes, I knew she wasn't going to be fine, but what could
I do, I was only an 8 year old child. I knew not to question my mother so I hugged her
again and snuck away from the house.
As I snuck away a soldier spotted me. "Come here, Master Talpa wants you." It
said, it had no eyes and was only an armor with a spirit inside of it. "NO!" I screamed
hoping to escape him, he grinned as best he could and brought his scythe down to strike
me, but my mother jumped in front of it. "I love you Kayura, now run." She said softly as
she began dying. Tears were streaming down my face at this time, seeing my mother
covered in blood was like having my heart ripped out, stepped on and beat with a hammer.
"Mother.." I said in a surprisingly calm voice "I will get revenge for you, I promise." I said
before I ran like the wind, the bundle in my arms, finally I found shelter in a cave, about a
mile from the village. I was not followed, so maybe they didn't care that I had escaped,
but they would care for killing not me, revenge would be sweet, and it's was always
served best cold. These armored beings and their 'Master Talpa' would pay for killing my
mother, friends, and everything I ever knew.
AN: I hope you liked it, just let me know what ya think...oh yeah...if your reading any of my other stories (RoninSenshi Destinies etc, etc) I'm in the process of moving so they are taking longer then usual, plus cause of moving and babysitting, I'm getting sorta stressed so forgive me for not getting chapters out as quick as I should.
