The Kuruta clan massacre

All around him was death and chaos. Satoshi stared in horror; then he noticed the rest of his surroundings. He was in a small house, and the furniture was all over the place in pieces. He hears something coming from the front door and slowly walks towards it. His heart skips a beat as a woman collapses upon entering the doorway. He quickly rushes to her side; her eyes widen in surprise and some horror, until she realizes he meant her no harm.

"Please…you have to protect…"

"Protect what? What's happening here?" asked Satoshi in concern.

"They…came out of…nowhere and started…killing. I think they're…here for the…eyes."

"The eyes? What eyes?"

"You're not from here are you…"

"No, I just came here a moment ago."

"The eyes are the bloodline trait of our clan. They're considered one of the most beautiful colors in the world, and many would pay greatly to possess them."

"I can understand the burdens of a bloodline trait all too well. So these people came to steal them?"

"Yes, and they desecrate the bodies to get them…"

"They must be monsters with no conscious at all. Reminds me of my alter ego at times."

"Please, you have to protect him…" said the woman.

"Protect who?"

"My son…knowing him, he's probably hiding in the closet or under the sink. Will you please keep him from falling victim to those fiends?" she asked, her eyes pleading.

"I will do my best. What about you?" asked Satoshi.

"I will try to keep them away long enough for you to escape. Now, find him and hurry… they're coming this way!" she said, worried.

"I never caught your name…" said Satoshi.

"My name is Kuruta. Kurana Kuruta," said the woman.

"Mine is Satoshi Hikari. I promise that I will do everything I can to protect your son."

"Thank you. Now hurry! Oh, and if he panics, just tell him that the lullaby will protect him, no matter what. If he starts singing a soothing song, cover your ears as fast as you can, or you'll be affected by it too!" said Kurana.

"Got it…" said Satoshi as he looked in the closet for the boy. He searched everywhere and he was nowhere to be found. He went into the kitchen and saw that the door was slightly ajar. He could just barely see the eye through the crack.

He slowly opened the door and sure enough, the child was in there. He smiled and said gently.

"Kid, if I can find you that fast, then so will the fiends that are coming here. What's your name?" asked Satoshi, his eyes kind.

"M-m-my n-n-name is Kuruta Kurapika…" said the child.

"Well, Kurapika, don't you think that you should get out of the cabinet and come out?"

"No. My mom said to stay here until she came back from the disturbance."

"Your mom is back, but she's badly injured. She told me to protect you from whoever is hurting anyone," Satoshi said.

"Mom's hurt?! I have to…"

"No. These people want to kill you, your mom wants to keep you from being hurt by them!"

"But…"

"No buts! Come on, we have to go!" said Satoshi when he heard something from the doorway.

"How do I know I can trust you? How am I supposed to know whether you're telling the truth?!" said Kurapika suspiciously.

Great…now the kid is wary of me! Now what am I supposed to do?! Wait, what was it that his mother said?! Something about a lullaby?

"Kurapika, your mom also told me that if anything happens, the lullaby will protect you…" said Satoshi worriedly. He silently gave sigh of relief when Kurapika dropped his guard.

"Fine…I'll go with you. But if anything happens to my mother I'll kill you!" said Kurapika in a growl.

"Not like I'm not used to death threats…" muttered Satoshi.
