Clan of the Darkrai

Chapter 1

Forest of Death

I do not mean to make Yuna sound like a Mary-sue in this part it is just her past. But she is in much better terms with the clan than you think...

I always hated this part of the forest. Even when I was with my mother.

It was always dark, dreary and damp. It seems to always be night there most of the time. I was lost there once and couldn't find my way back. The leader had to send three of our ten members to find me.

I flinched back when Vince touched my arm and smiled. "Hey Yuna it's okay. Your big strong male is here to protect you." He said with a giant grin spreading across his dark face. I looked at him with a hardened gaze and then he quickly looked away. "Sorry..." He murmured scratching the back of his head awkwardly. "I-I was just trying to light up the mood."

I merely snorted at this comment and shivered a bit when the wind began to pick up. Vince stopped and looked around silently before turning his blue eyed gaze to me. "I'll be right back... I think I heard something." He quickly floated off into the brambles, leaving me alone in the place I hated the most.

I glared at where he had disappeared and shook my head. I sometimes wonder why I even bother with him. He is always off somewhere or doing something "important". I always try to get his attention but that never seems to happen much.

I looked off into the distance with a glazed look in my eyes. I had always wished that some male would atleast notice me as something more than a friend. But it seems they have better things to do... Like staring at that damn female, the leader's daughter. Obviously she would be attractive to them! She is next in line to become leader of the clan!

I let out a growl of frustration and clenched my fists. I had always been teased about my "bad blood". My father sadly was a rouge. He had found my mother in heat and decided to ruin her life. Though then my mother was young and willing, she accepted his advances happily. She had soon learn her lesson when the elder of the clan deemed her spoiled.

She had me of course, with difficulty. She had to raise me alone when usually the clan would help her. It is rare for darkrai to form such tight bonds such as our clan. It results in the whole clan caring for each other, a very tight bond indeed.

Oh yeah my past.

Anyway, I had been born in the lowest rank of the clan to an mostly outcast mother. The almost only female of the season. Unfortunately there was that damn leader's daughter hatched the same day. Everyone gathered to see the new "princess" and congratulate her mother and father.

I was unnoticed from the start and shall always be that way!

Always in my damn way! First to become an fledgling and a member. She always got the males and had the charm and good looks. I was young stupid Yuna who couldn't defend herself in a battle with a Caterpie!

I felt a shiver run through my whole body at the thoughts of how the others teasing me. But that all changed when I met Vince, he was last season's hatchling, hadn't become a fledgling yet. I found his company to be quite nice and he noticed me as others would not. We were always together, pranking Morning and he posse of admirers, hunting together, playing together. He would always protect me when Morning would try to me into trouble.

I sighed at the thought of him and looked at my hands. A smile spread across my face as I looked towards the bushes. He was wonderful friend. More than I could even ask for.

Suddenly there was a loud squeaky scream and then some snarling. I flinched at this and began hurrying towards the sounds of struggle.

It sounded like one of the hatchlings!

I bursted out of the vines and found myself in a horrid scene.

The body of a newly hatched darkrai laid on the ground. It couldn't have been more that a few days old. I felt bile rise to my throat as I looked over the body. It had been torn to shreds, oddly no blood in sight.

With a quick gulp I picked up the young hatchling and fled back towards our home. But I didn't get a chance to reach there. Suddenly I was knocked to the ground by a large creature, sent skidding into a tree.

The dead hatchling rolled out of my arms and fell at my "robe". I watched as a large shadow rise up from the darkness. I blinked in utter shock as I quickly found out who had attacked me.

"No way..." I whispered as a pair of lavender eyes set their sights on me. I felt anger rise in my chest at the sight of the creature.

A mewtwo!

The mewtwo blinked at me and tilted it's head before looking out towards the forest silently. The wind blew through it's fur making waves run through the silky sheen.

Your probably wonder how the heck I know what a mewtwo is. Well you see the original became lonely, feeling like he was the only one, so alone. So it began making copies of itself, at first it was an all male species until he created a female by mixing female abra into his DNA.

It's a really hard concept to figure out. But we found out a clan of at least four of them settled just outside our territory. A large fight started when they began moving into our territory, luckily I was too young for my mother to leave and fight.

So a huge battle, we won... Oops! There I go again, going off somewhere.

The mewtwo turned to me looking annoyed. 'You think too much. Obviously that is all you darkrai know about my species.' He rumbled flicking his tail side to side. I let out a loud snarl at this and glared deeply. He read my mind!

I quickly got up snarling at him, baring my teeth at him ignoring his comment. "What are you doing here?" The mewtwo snorted at my question and looked back towards the deeper part of the forest.

'I am looking.' He said simply as if it explained everything. I glared at him deeply before turning my head towards the hatchling. "Did you do this?" I asked as a growl echoed in my voice. He merely looked at me with raised eyebrows.

'Your accusing me of killing a young cub?' He asked as if the question surprised and offended him greatly. A black aura began surrounding my left hand as a snarl rose in my throat. "Yes. Did you or did you not?" I watched as the mewtwo strolled over to the hatchling and bend over it. After a few moments he finally said in a dark voice. 'Seems like the work of a Crobat...' He then looked up at me frowning. 'Do you let your cubs run around wild like that? It's a good way to loose a lot of them'

I quickly looked away feeling embarrassed at his words. "N-No of-" I heard a roared and Vince came bursting out of the bushes before tackling the mewtwo to the ground.

"GET AWAY FROM HER YOU BASTARD!" He roared before unleashing a flurry of shadow claws on mewtwo. I heard a roar of pain escape the mewtwo as he began clawing Vince's chest. Vince let out another roar of fury at this and slashed the mewtwo's face making three deep red lines to appear on his face.

I watched as the mewtwo began to glow a bright color all of sudden everything became bright. After a few moments the light went away and the mewtwo was gone. Vince let out a roar and quickly got up off the ground.

I flinched back when I noticed the wild look in his eyes. "U-um Vince..." I stammered floating closer to him, slowly and unsure. Immediately he turned on me gritting his teeth. "DAMN IT YUNA! NOW KAY IS GOING TO BE PISSED AT ME!" I let out a squeal of fear and flew back in shock. "WHO?" I yelled in sheer fear.

I watched as he looked at me for a few moments before letting out a angry hiss. "Sorry Yuna... I didn't mean to yell it's just that-."

"YUNA! VINCE! WHAT IN THE GREAT DARK'S NAME HAPPENED!" I heard a voice shout from within the bushes. Two older darkrai bursted out and stopped breathing heavily. "I knew it!" The bigger male hissed looking down towards the hatchling. He stared at it for a few moments then let out a shaky sigh.

The bigger darkrai turned to the smaller female and sighed. "Well we found Nalia's missing hatchling..." I quickly remembered who he was, that scar across his chest and left meant he was Darkie, the former slave of a human.

He then turned to the female sadly. "Poor thing wasn't out of the egg more than a day." He floated over to it and picked up it up before cradling the body in his arms. "What happened to it." He said quietly without looking up from the corpse. Vince let out a noisy snort and waved a hand in front of his face as if whiffing something. "A mewtwo killed it." I flinched at this accusation and looked down towards my stilt like legs. I knew the mewtwo Darkie let out an angry growl before nodding. "Damn things... I thought we scared them off... Oh well." He murmured with a heavy sigh.

"Come on Yuna and Vince..." He turned to the female and purred. "Dear Delia check the rest of the forest then return to the clan..." He nodded to us and floated off back into the bushes just as Delia did the same.

Vince looked at me for a few moments then sighed towards me. "Lets go Yuna..." He turned and went after Darkie without another word. I blinked after him feeling slightly excited by the battle. I quickly followed after him replaying the events in my head over and over. That part where he came bursting out of the bushes... He looked so worried for some reason.

I stopped suddenly and looked down towards the ground. Was he... Did he really?

I shook my head and looked towards Vince who had stopped to look at me. "Yuna lets go... The leader must know the mewtwo had invaded our territory." I gulped at this and looked down quietly trying avoid his gaze. "Vince... Can I tell you something?" He tilted his head and nodded slowly. "When we get back." I sighed and this allowing my shoulders to fall abit. "Okay..." With one final look towards me, he went after Darkie with me following behind.
