The big bodies of italics are dreams
Me: this chapter is rated the way it is because of abuse ... and new characters are thrown in, but only in these flashback/dreams
Haruka's POV
I was surrounded by darkness before color returned, but the only thing I felt was pain across my arms, my legs, and torso. I felt the blood pore down my wounds and I remembered what happened. This is a memory, and not a pleasant one. I was seven, my parents had died when I was 6, leaving my older twin sister, Akemi, and myself with our only family left, our aunt. Then our aunt died a few months later, and we were left with a family friend. This "family friend" wasn't who Akemi and I expected. Her name was Akane Akiyama. She was extremely abusive, but more to myself then to Akemi, because I could see duel spirits and Akemi couldn't. But this memory is the worst. I ended up with extreme blood lost and the only thing keeping me alive was a card I soon learned was the reason I could see Duel Spirits. The Seal Of Orichalcos, but it was seemingly destroyed.
Anyway, back to the dream. Myself and my dream body soon seperated, relieving me from the pain I felt so long ago. I watched as Akane entered the room, my past self shivering in fear and pain. Akane had short dark blue hair and dark crimson eyes the shade of blood. Even now the sadistic glint in her eyes as she entered the room scares me. Akane raised up a knife and proceeded to cut open my past selves's arms while past me screamed. Akemi was in the far off corner in fear. Akemi looked like the complete opposite of me, with dirty blonde hair to her waist and cerulean eyes like the ocean. Past Akemi flinched whenever past me screamed in pain, but didn't chance rescuing me or calling the police. The only comfort I got was Kuribon's cooing. Every once in a while, noticed the orichalcos pentagramon past me's forehead, past me's eyes flicking from green to glowing crimson every few minutes. Eventually, past me's arms looked like a bloody mass, the arm itself all ripped up, bleeding heavily and useless. Akane then moved to past me's torso, past me's pretty purple dress soon with blood stains. As Past me screams, everything going black and I awoke.
I gasped as I woke up. Soon, I pull my legs up to my chest and start to cry gently. Kuribon soon appeared next to me and started to coo, trying to comfort me. After a while, I cry myself to sleep, not noticing Jaden in the doorstep.
Jaden's POV (3rd person limited)
Jaden woke up to Haruka's screams, and the coo of her Kuribon. Soon, he heard Haruka's sobs, though quiet. He queitly exited his room and opened Haruka's door, noticing she was crying herself back to sleep. From that point, he swore to be her friend.
I only own Haruka, and the majority of her deck, other than certain cards.
