"Blah" -- Normal Speech

'Saru' -- Thought


He remembered the hate people gave them throughout their existence. Closing his eyes he drifted into the blackness of sleep.

----Flashback----

A young boy of about thirteen years of age ran through a thick meadow. The wind blowing through his thick spiky locks of dark brown upon his head. The sun shining down overhead, reflected in those big emerald eyes of his. He loved theses woody areas, they made him feel at peace, plus the animals were friendly towards him.

He would climb the trees to see the baby birds chirp at him, as their mother came down to feed them. She didn't mind his presence at all, cause this child had no malice in him whatsoever. Even the wolves, some of the fiercest beasts of the forest, didn't mind him. He would run through the trees with them racing to see who could get farther faster.

This was his paradise, but no one can live without human companionship. But he didn't live here, though some say he did. No he lived in a small village near this haven of his.

"Koji! Koji come on, you can't spend all day here." A female's voice rang through the treetops. "Don't make me come find you!"

The boy deciding it best to be obedient, followed the voice back to a nineteen year old girl. Koji thought that she was the prettiest girl of the village. She had a face that seemed to be carved by angels, decorated with gorgeous violet gems for eyes and luscious ruby red lips. Her long hair drifted down about to her nicely curved hips, cloaking her back and shoulders in its darkened blonde softness. Though to be honest she wasn't very tall, standing at about 4'10, but her curves attracted attention away from that. Her bust was fairly large and looked kind of awkward on someone of her height.

"Aw…why can't I stay here?" the boy pleaded, "Please, Takara-nee-chan?"

"Sorry, Koji. But we need to go bathe and get back to the house before it gets too dark out. You want to eat dinner on time tonight, don't you?"

"Yes!" the boy exclaimed, jumping wildly into the air. He wanted to eat, as he was starving, but he knew that his sister had another reason for getting home before the sun set. She didn't like to travel, even through places she knew at night, a small fear always had consumed her.

Though her fear seemed unjustified in their ordinary lives, the two had been despised by the villagers for the last eight years. For they had descended from the Ashura Clan. The clan had once been renowned and respected as a mighty group of warriors for their unique ability to suppress demon chakra. But tragedy struck this family, when a message from Konoha got to them.

It said the Kyuubi was attacking and they asked for the Ashura's to help them. Now the Ashura was a kind clan, not like those stick-shoved-up-their-asses clans such as the Hyuuga or the Uchiha. So they willing left, they had heard tales of the fox's strength so every member of their family went...save two. Five-year-old Koji, with his older sister, Takara.

The Ashuras had been annihilated by the Kyuubi, this was the first time in history that a demon had overcame them. People of their village claimed that the Ashuras didn't try hard enough. Those rumors and feelings spawned into a powerful animosity towards the two children. For nearly the eight years since the demon fox had been defeated, people treated them like scum.

Koji didn't understand their hate, but his sister did. Countless times he asked her about it but she refused to tell him. He found out when a drunk decided to try and beat up the boy when he was eleven. Koji was shocked that he and his sister were hated for such a pitiful reason. He escaped the intoxicated man and took off home, deciding not to tell his sister that he knew.

Despite all the villagers' attitudes towards him, he still remained a remarkable young man with a pure soul. After several beatings the boy took, he decided to train himself in the forest, and train himself he did. He grew strong and fast, he followed the example of one of the great heroes from the stories his sister used to tell him when he was younger, and grew stronger to protect Takara from danger.

"Hey…are you listening to me?!"

The brown haired boy was yanked from his reverie and back down to earth. Nodding his head, he followed his sister into the village. He glared back at the people leering at them, who kept whispering names that children shouldn't be exposed to at them. He had decided long ago that since he was a boy he would protect Takara, his sister and a girl, (Sorry if that sounded sexist) from any danger that threatened her.

The arrived at the bath house. Since no one would stay around them, they often bathed together just as a precaution incase something happened.

"Ahh this feels good," Takara sighed as she lowered herself into the steamy water. Koji sat at the other side of the room, refusing took look over at her. He was at that age when girls didn't seem that bad to be around…or to look at…...or to smell. Too bad his sister knew that he was embarrassed by her nude state.

"Hmmm," she said looking down at her breasts. "I think they've gotten bigger. Koji-otouto, what do you think?" she asked in a mischievously sweet voice. She only called him otouto when she was teasing or when she needed him to be serious, and this wasn't the latter occasion.

He blushed and just continued to look intently down into the water before muttering, "I don't know."

"Are you sure?" she slinked over to him in a sultry manner. "How about you inspect them a little closer." She said in a sexy voice that gave him goosebumps. Hugging him from behind, she pressed those soft mounds of flesh into his back. His heart to race and his entire body turn crimson. In a panic he broke away from her and darted back into the changing area. He could hear her laughing hysterically at him but he couldn't retort as now his ability of coherent thought had gone missing.

"It's not funny!" he finally manged to sputter, only causing his sister to laugh louder. She laughed for awhile, though the boy didn't like being mocked he loved it when Takara laughed.

When she finally stopped laughing she called him back over. "Come on, I'll wash your back for you."


After they had finished bathing, they set off for home. Koji noticed his sister seemed to be unusually quiet. He glanced over to see her expression crestfallen. Either that or deep in thought.

"Nee-chan?" he asked hesitantly. "What's wrong?"

"Huh?" She looked over at him and smiled. "No, I'm alright." Koji could tell she was lying so he stopped and caught her wrist.

"Takara…tell me what's wrong. I love you and I don't want to see you upset by something." Her smiled disappeared, he only called her by just her name when he was extremely serious about something.

"I know you don't but…its my burden to bare. There's no need for you to worry about it."

He looked up at her eyes with a look that said 'I'm not going to give up until you tell.' She sighed, "I'm worried about the villagers…"

"Why? What they do?!"

"No, they haven't done anything. At least they haven't yet."

"What do you mean?"

Takara hadn't ever told him about the times she was almost sexually assaulted by the men of the village. She knew her little brother would flip if he heard of such attempts on her personal being. He would run off and do something foolish if she told him, so for his own safety she kept quiet.

"I…have a something I want, but I can't have it because it would be considered to be a taboo." She avoided looking into his face. "Do you remember when you overheard that man telling his son about 'the birds and the bees?'"

Of course he remembered, hearing that embarrassed and confused him to no end. It got even more embarrassing when he asked her about it. He felt somewhat awkward around her for awhile after that. "Yeah," he replied, glancing to the side. "But what does that do with this?"

"I love someone, with every last bit of my heart. But he doesn't see me that way. I want to be able to give myself to him…" Through all of the abuse and rape attempts, Takara remained an unkissed virgin. Koji asked about sex before, around the time of the 'birds and bees' incident, and it had been extemely awkward to talk about ever since. She had told him that she wanted her first to be special, with a man who loved her romantically with his entire beating. Then she clutched her cheeks and looked away as too hide her embarrassment from blurting one of her most intimate thoughts with her little brother.

Tears filled her lovely purple eyes and dripped onto the ground. Koji hated to see her upset, it made him feel completely heartbroken. And when he saw her cry he felt like his heart had been twisted and wrenched from his chest. He cared too much about her to see her sad.

"Nee-chan? Is there something I can do?" He would do anything to help her. She was the one person who had been with him for his entire life, and if it wasn't for her, he would have surely gone mad from the animosity around him. Travel to the ends of the earth, drain the mighty oceans, it didn't matter how impossible the task was, he would do it…for her.

"I couldn't…" she began but Koji cut her off.

"Anything, Nee-chan. I will do it." She looked into his eyes and could see his determination, burning like a powerful ember in his pupil. She said something softly then turned to look away.

"What? I didn't hear you."

"Take me…" she repeated still quiet but now loud enough he could hear her. Koji's world stopped turning in that moment. He let her wrist go and backed away.

"Sister what are you talking about?! That's crazy, I can't do that!"

"I didn't expect you would. But I…" she fell to her knees and covered her mouth with a hand. "…I don't want my first time to be stolen from me! I want it to be with something I love and who loves me!" The dam had broken. She wept.

The boy watched as she broke down. He didn't know what to do. What she was asking of him, it was forbidden by many if not all moral laws. Yet she bared her soul to him now, how could he deny her that. It was wrong. But she was the one who gave him everything these past years. She had taken care him, taught him how to be a good person, she supported him whenever she could, how could he do this to her after all that. But it was still wrong. The argument waged war within him.

After a short while, standing back up she wiped away her tears. "I'm sorry, Otouto. I know I could never expect something like that of you. Lets go home."

He watched her continue walking down the path, broken. He followed behind her back home and sat at the table while she began to cook dinner. She wouldn't look him in the eyes now and he understood why, but…it still hurt him.

She set food in front of him, and heard him mutter something. She turned and asked what he said.

"I said…I'll do it."

"W-what?"

She looked directly into his eyes and knew instantly what he was referring to. Her gaze then shifted to the table. "You don't have to. You're not obligated to do something like that for me."

He was silent for awhile, "I know, but I want you to be happy."

"Please don't do it just for my sake," she begged grasping his shoulders with her hands. "Only do it if that's what your heart wants."

They ate in silence. An awkward silence that would make a high strung cat collapse from a nervous breakdown. She picked up the dishes when they had finished and cleaned them. Then left to her room, but before her door stood Koji.

"Koji? What are you doing?"

"I…want to."

"R-really?" She stuttered. The boy nodded his head in reply. Jovial tears dripped down her cheeks as she tried to hold them back. He then took her hand gently in his before guiding her into the room. That night, for just a few hours, their brother-sister bond transcended its normal boundaries. It was pretty awkward for both of them, but they overcame it, together just like they had conquered all the other obstacles set in their lives.

The next morning, he lay there in bed with a bizarre feeling in the pit of his stomache. Takara had already gotten up and went to fix breakfeast. What was this feeling? Guilt? Shame? Why would he feel this way, he had wanted this...hadn't he? He didn't know what to do. He couldn't tell her about this, he thought she might be offended if he did and he refused to do something that hurt her in any manner at all.

Life went on as it normally did for the next few days. But as each day passed Koji seemed to get sicker and sicker. He felt nauseous, his tanned skin was now a ghostly shade of white. He was exhausted, and Takara grew more and more worried about him. He refused to let her go into town without him. But she could see he wasn't improving, she felt responsible for his current condition. So about four or five days after their 'confession' of sorts, she left him asleep in his bed while she went into the village.

Koji sat up as if someone had slammed a hammer into his gut while he lay there. He looked around and found himself all alone. Suddenly he became extremely worried, he sprang out of bed and around the rest of the house.

"Takara! Takara!" He rounded a corner and stared into the kitchen, drawing in deep fearful breathes. "Nee-chan where are you?!" His heart practically stopped when there was no reply. He took off out of the house racing towards town. 'Dammit! She left without me, what if something happens to her? No, I can't think like that!' Hard as he tried to shake them, those dark doubts still continued to eat away at him."Please be alright..."

In the village he was greeted with an abominable sight. There lay her body, stripped of clothing with unsightly scrapes and gashes adorning Takara's once flawless skin. Her body was motionless, devoid of even the slightest sign of life. She was surrounded with a bunch of men that Koji remembered used to scowl at him. The men stood there laughing about something they found damn hilarious, Koji watched one man pull up his pants. He gasped in the horror of realizing what occurred here. They raped her. They raped her and he wasn't there to stop them. He hadn't been there to protect her like he had resolved to ages ago. And why? Because he questioned his own decision about that night. He fell to his knees as tear flooded down his cheeks. He raised an arm and slammed his knuckles straight down on the stone path in anguish.

He heard one of them say, "Hey look! Its that other Ashura brat." "Too bad its a boy, I quite enjoyed the woman." "Seriously, its a shame she was such a screamer though." "Ah its the same either way, whether she's alive or dead." As Koji listened to them, something dark was carved into his soul. Also something deep within his mind snapped as he clenched his fist tightly.

"You...you bastards!" He charged at one, with all the strength and ferocity of his being. Drawing a fist back, he reared it towards a man, only to be knocked aside effortlessly. "Hey look guys, the brat wants to fight. I say we show him a real fight." The others cheered in agreement. Koji stood up and darted at another yelling a cry full of hate and maliciousnes. But he was knocked back again. He heard a strange flicking-like noise, he got up and turned around only to be stabbed directly in his right eye with a sharp knife. He screamed in agony, as the tormentor twisted the blade within his now bleeding socket. He fell to the ground and tried to fight back.

"How ya like that, you scum? This is retribution for all those lives lost since your family failed to defeat the Kyuubi!" The knife was ripped out of him only to be thrust back into his face. Koji grasped his injured eye with both hands in a desperate attempt to stop the flow of crimson liquid that now flowed freely. A sharp pain shot through his side. The other men now surrounded him and had began kicking him. They beat him nonstop for what felt like hours, he finally lost consciousness but he but one thought lingered within his mind. Revenge.
