A/N: Drama time.

Disclaimer: I do not own Barajou no Kiss

Let's begin, shall we?

May screamed and hugged the child to her breast. Levay shouted and ran towards the figure to try and take him down. With a flick of the strangers finger, Levay was frozen in mid stride, with May still screaming in the background.

"Stop screaming, you'll wake the baby up." The figure said sternly. May immediately stopped, though if it was by her own will or his command she couldn't say. Walking towards where she sat, he crouched down to see the baby. Pulling back the sheet so he could get a better view of the girl he smiled. Gently, he took the girl from May, who was powerless to do anything against him. "Remember the promise you made that night?" The warlock said over his shoulder to Levay. "I've come to get my due." Tucking the blanket around the baby more securely the fair haired man made to leave. Before he left, a hand grabbed his foot. Looking down, he saw Levay's desperate face. The blacksmith knew that he couldn't change the fate he had cast on his family, but there was one thing that he had to know.

"What will you name her?"

"Anise." With that, the man strode out, leaving the cottage that was filled with despair.

A/N The next chapter will show a more grown up Anise and her adoptive father Schwartz.
