A/N: So, I've watched and read Spiral a while ago (manga is waaay better with explaining what the hell was going on) and recently I decided to reread it. Well, most of it. I skipped a large fraction of Kanone taking over the school and also the three chapter explanation Eyes offered about the Blade Children. With the school take over by Kanone- I couldn't help but notice the lack of pain everyone shows when they get shot, stabbed, and thrown out a freakin window. I want to change that :) SOO I created my own Blade Child who shall torture the hell out Ayumu. Yes- most of it will probably be that because I'm twisted like that but I'm also making a story out of it. This shall take place around the time Hizumi first shows up and is living with Ayumu.
Chapter 1
The girl sat in the basement like she did every day. She knew her family was afraid of her. That's why they locked her down there. Her blond hair was dirty and fell around her face as she had her knees up to her chest.
Her family had a right to be afraid, and she knew that. She didn't hide her urge to kill innocent things. It started with small animals, which was concerning enough, but her parents locked her in the basement after she hurt her little brother. She didn't know what had come over her. It was as if the knife in her hand had a mind of its own.
She knew her parents were at their wits end with her. They had adopted her when they failed to have kids of their own. She knew they instantly regretted it when she had turned four and went to school. She realized she couldn't handle other people and their stupidity and dealt with it in her own way.
Now all she saw was darkness while her parents decided what they wanted to do with her. It wasn't as if other people would take her and finding a hospital she could go to wasn't easy either. They couldn't afford most of them. So their temporary solution was to keep her away from others, only coming down to give her food and to offer up a conversation. But she just sat there and stared. Always looking into the darkness around her.
She flinched as the light from upstairs flooded into the room and she pulled herself more into the corner. The stairs creaked underneath the person who walked down. As the girl's eyes adjusted to the sudden light, she noticed a very tall man with mint green hair that was spiked up. She became more alert as the stranger kneeled in front of her.
"Hello," the man said in a soothing voice.
The girl watched his every movement with wide eyes. Was she finally going to that hospital place she always heard her parents talk about? Would it be better than here?
The man made sure he moved slowly to not startle her. "Do you know why I'm here?"
"Are you going to take me away?" she asked in a small voice.
The man chuckled. "Yeah, I guess I am. You are one of the Blade Children after all."
"Blade Children?" the girl questioned.
"I'll explain it all," the man smiled as he stood up and offered his hand to her. The girl cautiously placed her hand in his and stood up. "What is your name?"
"I'm Katsu," she answered.
"Hello, Katsu. My name is Yaiba Mizushiro."
Katsu lounged on the couch in what was once Yaiba's house. Now seventeen, Katsu grew up with Yaiba. He taught her all about the Blade Children. He told her all about the fate that was set up for them. How Kiyotaka Narumi was the so-called God and Yaiba was the devil that was destined to be killed by him. Nothing could be done about it. At least, that was what Yaiba said. It was fate. No matter how much he would try to beat it, Kiyotaka would always win in the end. Even Yaiba's little brother, Hizumi, had fully accepted this fact when Kiyotaka had taken away Yaiba's life.
They fully believed the only reason for living on this earth was to be killed. Hizumi had actually left the house to find Kiyotaka's little brother, who was supposed to kill Hizumi. Because that was fate and fate couldn't be tested.
What a load of shit, Katsu thought. Ever since Yaiba's death, Katsu observed Kiyotaka's little brother. Ayumu Narumi was a boring kid in Katsu's eyes. He had brown hair with sideburns and his ears were pierced. At first glance Katsu thought he would be at least interesting, but Ayumu's indifferent attitude was beyond what Katsu thought was possible. It was as if being targeted by the Blade Children was normal for him. And even with him knowing Hizumi was the devil, Ayumu accepted him in his house like they were friends. Like he thought Hizumi wouldn't try to kill him or maybe Ayumu was so confident in fate that he thought it was impossible for Hizumi to win. To Katsu, it was like he was mocking them.
Katsu didn't believe in fate. She wasn't like all the other Blade Children. She didn't care about being saved or what would happen to her. All she cared about was Yaiba since he had taken her in and raised her like his own daughter. But Kiyotaka had taken him away from her. Katsu never thought she could experience the heartache she felt that day. She thought she was void off all emotion. But seeing Yaiba lifeless was hard even for her. The man who was so strong died so easily while Kiyotaka smiled over him. He was the real monster.
Katsu stood up from the couch and walked towards the door. It was about the time Ayumu would be arriving at school. Katsu knew it was the only place she could catch him alone without Hizumi or that annoying girl Hiyono around him. Even with them following him like lost puppies, Ayumu always found a way to escape to the music room so he could play the piano in peace.
Katsu waited patiently the past few weeks, observing Ayumu and his patterns. As much as Katsu wanted to go after Kiyotaka, she knew it was impossible. Even if she could somehow find him, which was a challenge of its own, he was too powerful. But as Katsu thought about it, maybe getting his little brother would be even better. Maybe Kiyotaka would feel the pain of losing a loved one like she had.
Katsu grinned at the thought of Kiyotaka in pain. Since she couldn't cause it physically, Katsu planned to cause it emotionally.
Plus, she wouldn't mind having a little fun with little Narumi.
Oh, did she have plans for him.
