Writer's note: Hola my beautiful people :^)

Okay so I'm really excited about starting this story, this may seem a little confusing but I will explain everything in the end after this note. Okay so I changed the name from, "3 Petals to death," To "Can You Escape The Past?" (It goes better with the plot and the theme to the story)….Oh, the accurate way to say Rai's name is R+EYE, Like say eye only with an R at the beginning , and Rah-Kanji is [15], Rai' is [13] and Rikku is [11]. Ikr They're super young but it'll flow so don't worry readers, but I do apologize for not being descriptive about their appearance and age. [^_^]

Alright Let's get this party started!

RECAP:

"Geez, today must not be your day." He joked, then he took in how gorgeous she looked. 'She's absolutely beautiful, but… why does she look …so scared?' He looked at her confusingly but Rah-kanji spoke before he could say anything.

"Come quick, i-it's your mother! She's in trouble!" she shrieked

"W-what? Where is she!" he spoke enraged

"Call the guards first." She reasoned

"There's no time Kanji, my mother's in danger! Take me to her!" he argued,

Without any delay Rah-kanji lead Imaru to the area where she left, praying that Lady Mitsuki was still okay.

STORY TIME:

Running as fast as she could, pulling Imaru by the arm, they were running as fast as they could until they came to a stop towards the spot Rah-kanji was in earlier.

IMARU POV:

'How the hell could this happen?' I walked to the dark red stained grass to my beautiful, now dead mother. I stopped and kneeled down to her body, I turned her over and seen that he face looked strong; as if she had the strength of 1000 men. "Mother…" my voice felt cold and raspy. Shivers came up my spine and my body started to shake uncontrollably as I felt the tears stroll down my cheek

"I-Imaru?" Rah-kanji sobbed, wait was she crying too? Well FUCK her! She knew this would happen, why didn't she try to protect her! She's a fucking guard for crying out loud! My body tensed as I felt my-so-called-friend walk by me.

"What is it, Rah-Kanji?" My voice was pure venom, I felt the hatred, and the need for revenge.

"I-i-I S-should have done something." She whispered the last part and started to break in tears

Then loud screams were heard

"Screams." I thought out loud, 'Did she even cry in pain?' I just stared at my mother's limp body and at her chest where she was stabbed at. 'Did she even have armor or a weapon? ' Examining her body I found no armor or anything she could of use as defense. 'Where were the guards.' I started to angrier as I question her safety.

"Maru!" The girl that he no longer cared for yelled. "The villagers! Imaru, we have to help them."

"Help them?" I said with attitude, "HmhI'll help the villagers alright." I told her as I got up from the ground and stood up and faced Rah-kanji.

[Rah-kanji Pov]

'Imaru?' i hushed my words, something was terribly wrong with him

I backed up when I saw the darkness that surrounded him. He looked at me with the same face, but only it wasn't the same person that I knew… It was a whole new person.

'What happened to his aura?' Contemplating I examined him again. His face was still the same, his eyes were still the gorgeous blue eyes, he still sported that unique 'purple mark' that laid on his forehead. But his energy, it seemed like it was increasing and darkening. The once care-free, playful, annoying energy I usually sensed from the teenager was no longer there, instead there was hatred, and seriousness. Although there were still a bit of playfulness in the older teen but it was a mixture of something I couldn't put my finger on.

He was standing right in front of my face

He was 5 or 4 inches taller, his eyes were cold as steel. That childish, mischievous glint he always had was gone.

His body was stiff and his fists were balled up, I then knew he turned into something dark.

More terrifying screams were heard

"Let's go." He demanded

I was cautious and wary around him, for this point on I knew nothing but trouble was afoot.

[RAH-KANJI END OF POV]

~~REGULAR POV

-At the village-

"Come on men, Attack!" Kaxzumi yelled as he had stabbed another bandit that invaded their peaceful festival"

"Rai'! Rikku! Any sign of Rah-kanji!" Kaxz-kun asked voice filled with worry

"Kaxz-Kun She's still not here!" Rai screamed with worry as she round kicked her opponent and back kicked him into a tree, finishing the job with a dagger landed in his throat.

Rikku and some guards had manage to dodge some arrows aimed at them, then Rikku skillfully dodge the arrows with her shield and cut off all the hands and arms of the archers that were once attached to the largely size group of men. "I DON'T SEE HER ANYWHERE KAXZ-KUN" Rikku screamed her loudest

Then out of the blue Rah-kanji and Imaru were found! This made

Kaxzumi relieved that her and Maru was still in one piece, though he had a feeling something terrible was soon to come

Imaru halted Rah-kanji and walked calmly in the middle of the battlefield with one sword on his hip he stood tall. The guards started to cheer for their prince, saying things like, "Show him what you're made of Lord Imaru!" or "Kill that wretched soul Prince Imaru."

Kaxzumi looked at the young prince with uncertainty and sense the strange aura from his body as well.

"Prince Imaru!" Rikku called, doing that, it caused all the bandits to stop fighting and their ring leader to come out of the castle with a huge bag of goods.

"Hai." Said, the murderer of Mitsuki, His sword was covered in dried blood and it seems like he had already robbed from the castle. He looked at Imaru and smirked, "Well look who finally decided to come by." He sneered as he walked towards the teenager who stood in the middle of the battle field.

"….." Imaru was extremely quiet, but his eyes were hard, filled with hatred and they started to darken.

He stopped when he stood in front of the prince." What's prince? You should be thanking me." He said as everybody stared, nervous to what could happen next

An enraged Rah-kanji spoke out, " THANK YOU? YOU KILLED HIS MOTHER! THE LADY OF THE CASTLE AND YOU WANT US TO THANK YOU?" 'if only I had my sword this guy would be dead.' She thought maliciously

Imaru slightly looked back, 'So he killed my mother...' Imaru took one step forward to the bandit to the where their noses almost touched

"Huh, what kid? Keh, you think you can beat me? HAHAHAHA, a-a little punk like you?" he laughed, then the bandit turned around with his sword out with one hand and holding a bag with the other

Imaru looked at the sword. "My mother's blood…." He mumbled to himself, and then he felt a pulse and a surge of new found energy came to him. He felt multiple of things like anger, hurt, strength, revenge, a lone but more importantly he felt the need to kill this man.

And strangely, odd enough, he felt the need to let out a dark laugh

The bandit heard his laugh and felt a little intimidated, he turned around but before he could let out a vowel, let alone a sound

Imaru's hand violently choked him to the point you could hear bones cracking, he lifted him and threw him down like a bag of trash. He then looked dead into Rah-kanji's eyes,

"Did this man murder my mother?" she shook her head yes and tears started to march down her cheek

"You'll die a terrible death." Imaru looked into the man's eyes and found fear, and for some reason it excited him. A smile crept up his lips as he stomped his foot violently against the leader's chest

"P-p-p-please have m-m-m-m-mercy!" the bandit cried

"Have mercy? That's a laugh you don't deserve mercy." Imaru sounded as if he was crazed, he started moved his foot on top of his pelvis area and started to crush the bandit causing him to scream in pain but to everyone else we knew he wasn't finish with this one.

Imaru started to break his ribs with his fist, break his nose, blind him with various punches and kicks. Everyone guard and bandit stood in shock and fear. Finally a voice rang out

"STOP TURTORING HIM." Kaxzumi yelled at the now crazy prince

Before Imaru had the chance to throw another hit he stop, Then stared at him violently. " Are you, a guard with such low rank demand a prince like me to stop? " Imaru asked, he was now amused at his new target

"My lord, I'm just-"

"Let me remind you that you are the general, and I ordered all guards to stay alert this night."

"…." Kaxzumi became silent

Before Imaru started to walk forward to Kaxzumi he cut off the bandit's head clean. "And now, it's practically your fault that my mother is dead." He kept walking sounding more and more murderous by the second

"Rai', Rikku and Rah-kanji leave now." He commanded as the vicious teen walked closer and closer

"B-but-" Rai' fell at a loss for words

"Not when he's like this!" Rikku said

"Now! As your General and Guardian! DO AS I SAY!" he voiced

But before anyone could make a move Imaru simply slaughtered a guard.

"Why did you do that for!" shrieked Rikku starting to shake and walk away slowly

"He was in my way wench." He simply said harshly

"He was on our side." Rai' said with anger, but fear as she copied Rikku's movements

"So what? He's dead now." He smirked, Imaru was not imaru anymore! Whoever this new person was that rested inside of Imaru was there, the kind sweet boy died when he came alive

/Writer's Note: R-E-V-I-E-W! Okay so tell me what do you think! Oh, almost forgot just in case you were confused here's what had happened, Imaru and Rah-kanji came too late and witnessed the death of Mitsuki and then the other villagers were being attacked by the rest of the bandits when the darkness inside of him snapped and he became crazy causing the birth of bankotsu!

Yes! So please keep on reviewing and reading, tell me how you like it next chapter should be better though

Love you all :^)
