"Mommy, did you ever like daddy?"
"No honey I never liked daddy."
"Mommy, why didn't you like daddy?"
"Because, sweetie he hurt mommy."
"How did he hurt us? Will you tell me?" The little girl asked, peering up at her mother with hopeful eyes. The woman laid a hand on the little girl's forehead and sighed.
"Well, daddy had a few problems. He was in a yakuza for some time. For quite a long time actually. It twisted his brain and made him think that there was no independence. Like there was only them and not us or anything that didn't have to do with plural." The mother explained. The child's eyes filled with confusion.
"Yakuza? Inodanen? Pura? What does that mean mommy?" The mother gave a laughed at how well the child could recite words and was only 5. It was more complicated and she didn't know how complex she could make this thing get.
"Yakuza is a Japanese gang. Independence is like me, I, mine. And plural is more than one." The mother explained. The child merely shook her head having half a mind to take in all this knowledge. The mother continued as if talking to a 15 year old instead of 5 year old.
"Your father and I…" She paused looking for the right words to say.
"Your father and I had these differences. He worships the great WE. Never figuring out single, one not them, they, us, we. Me, I loved us but not them, or they, or we instead of I. Like there was more than one person in one body. In a way there was however."
"Mommy?"
"Hai?"
"I'm not following."
"Of course not sweetie. I know you don't understand."
"I mean your diyerence with daddy. I'm not going to be like that mommy." The little girl said. Her sentence was beautiful and her mother choked on tears. Not because, her child could talk but because, her child knew things she shouldn't. Not now and preferably not ever.
The girl hugged the mother's legs and smiled and innocent smile. It only wasn't innocent because her mind carried things it shouldn't have.
Not now, and preferably not ever.
…
The house was in terrible flames and suddenly Sakura remembered things she didn't want to. Like, the horrible fire that raged and took her parents. Even if she hadn't stabbed them, they all would've burned in the flames. Either wasn't necessarily an option Sakura really wanted to consider. In a strange way, she was reliving this déjà vu like moment. It rattled her brain and brought her to her knees rendering her helpless. The crackling noises and white-hot eye burning flames consumed Sakura's conscious.
She could hear nothing and everywhere she turned flames engraved their power into the back of her eyelids. Something told her to start this fire but she didn't remember agreeing. She hadn't remembered the driving force that pushed her to the basement or the seemingly gentle voice that soothed her jagged edges. She needed help and no one was there. Not even the gentle soul in her mind.
Sakura felt a churning in her stomach and doubled over. The pain was excruciating and her regurgitated into the flames the left-overs of earlier food, and drinks sizzled like frying meat. She dry heaved for a moment and then noticed her palms glowing a strange sapphire. It was a faint color but her hands went slightly numb and she began to get dizzy. Rolling to her side she felt a strange energy flow through her. It was uncontrollable and she finally clutched her stomach giving in to raw power literally burning a hole in her abdomen.
The sapphire color went from her hands to her elbows to her stomach to her throat and nearly out her mouth when a the ceiling cracked above her. The feeling suddenly vanished and Sakura felt a blackout coming on. She moan and toppled over. A chunk of the ceiling fell through a tall man with blue hair landed in a low crouch. He gave a lopsided grin having found what he was looking for.
"We have found her."
