A/N: Hi all, welcome to another AnE fanfic. For those of you who read my other one, I hate to disappoint you, but I probably won't be continuing that. I'm not going to explain that in this A/N, it's already on the fic. I'm not sure if the rating of "T" is appropriate for this fic. If you think I should change it to "M," please let me know. Anyway, please enjoy this prologue of Inhumane.
This fic has not been proofread/betaed. All mistakes are my own.
WARNING: This fic contains child abuse/negligence, torture, violence, dehumanization, and human experimentation. It will be graphic. If this isn't your cup of tea, turn away now. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
I don't own anything except the plot. Ao no Exorcist belongs to Kazue Kato.
Prologue
Yukio doesn't remember his mommy.
Sure, he had his daddy, who, by the way, is the best daddy ever - even though his daddy isn't his real daddy. Yukio knows that because Daddy told him. Daddy said now that Yukio is seven, he's old enough to know about his real daddy.
Daddy said Mommy died a long time ago, along with his older brother and real daddy. Daddy said his real daddy and mommy were really powerful exorcists, but he won't tell Yukio their names because if the demons find out that Yukio is their son, he'll be in danger. Yukio isn't mad though. Daddy said when Yukio becomes a powerful exorcist like his parents, then Daddy will tell Yukio all about them.
That's why Yukio will be starting exorcist training today! It's so he can protect Daddy and the other clergy members from the evil demons. Daddy said the demons took away his mommy, daddy, and big brother. Yukio doesn't want the demons to kill his Daddy, or the other clergy members. If they do, Yukio will be all alone to face the bullies. Once Yukio becomes a great exorcist, he won't have to worry about losing them like he lost his mommy, daddy, and older brother.
But he does wonder what having big brother and mommy would be like. It gets awful lonely in the church with only Daddy and the other clergy members.
Subject RN667 doesn't know much except white walls, white lights, white suits, and red. The walls and lights were from his room. The suits were from the people who comes into his room and sliced the red from him.
Sometimes, RN667 turns blue. It only happens when the white suits pulls out a sword from its casing. Then, RN667 gets covered in blue fire. The white suits never come into the room when he's blue. They stay behind a window that makes up one of the walls of his room. They'll send in other creatures and force him to burn them. RN667 doesn't like that. He can hear the smaller creatures crying when he burns them and begging him to stop.
The first time RN667 has to burn a creature, he refused. But he doesn't anymore because the white suits turned off his fire and slice out so much red that RN667 lost consciousness.
Now, when the white suits send in creatures for him to burn, RN667 does it quickly to stop the screaming. Some of the bigger creatures are harder to burn. The attack him and pull more red from him and break his bones. But RN667 always beats them because the white suits won't take them away until he does. Not a single creature leaves the room alive at the end.
The white suits never talk to him. They only talk to each other when they slice him up. RN667 hates it when they slice him up. They would tie him onto a table and cut him up to test his "regenerative powers" and "pain tolerance." RN667 doesn't know what regenerative powers are but apparently, his are very strong. So far, he's grown back all his fingers and toes and healed every single big slice they put on him. It only takes a few hours before not a single mark is left on his body.
Sometimes, when RN667 is being cut opened or burning a creature, he sees other people besides the white suits behind the window. They wear different clothing than the white suits, but they all have the same eyes - cold, calculating, and angry. All except for the one with white hair, glasses, and red eyes. His eyes are filled with sorrow, pity, and something else. Only later does RN667 realize its guilt.
RN667 doesn't know anything outside of his room. He doesn't know anything besides pain, and hunger, and screaming, and red, and cold eyes on the other side of the window. RN667 doesn't know warmth or kindness of another person. Not until the man with sad eyes visits him and gives him a name besides "demon" and "hell spawn." Not until the man with kind eyes gives him his first friend.
A/N: So, there's the prologue. I predict about 2-5 more chapters until we reach the beginning of the manga/anime. Please don't expect any frequent updates, I don't often have time to write so get use to short chapters and sporadic updates.
Also, I don't like the title. If you guys have any suggestions, I would love to hear them!
Please leave a review! Constructive criticism is appreciated!
