Flashback Love!

Yuka sat on her bed as the sun started to rise slowly, the light seeping through her curtains as she sighed sadly and stared at old pictures of her and Reo, together. Tears welled in her hazel pools as she sighed, remembering the past...

FLASHBACK

"Yuka... This is Reo, he is the prince of the Voice kingdom and love. He will be coming here every summer, as he is your future husband." Yuka's grandmother said kindly as Yuka stared at Reo, who stared back at her.

Yuka only had her grandmother in her life, she was an orphan as her parents died in a tragic palace fire. Yuka didn't know them, she was saved by her grandmother, her grandfather had died beforehand, so she never met him. Yuka was a baby when her parents had died.

She only had her sister and grandmother and 2 of her uncles. Her sister was older, but not fit to be the heir to the throne, as she was diagnosed with cancer and said to die by the age of 12.

Yuka stared at the brown haired boy for some time, who eyed her equally as she smiled sweetly, then ran towards him, enveloping the shocked prince in a heart-warming hug that made him feel very warm.

"Hello! I'm Yuka, you can call me that! Grandmama, he's a cutie! Let's go, Reo! I'm having a tea party and there's a seat with your name on it!" she said, brightly and bubbly as he stared at her in awe. Her grandma smiled.

Yuka and Mikan were very different, back then...

Through the years they spent together, Reo and Yuka became very close and were almost inseperable. They had another friend, Narumi, who was Reo's personal servant, who was only 2 years older than the prince.

Yuka was a very cheerful and playful girl, whilst Reo was silent and liked to observe things from far away, and a little violent. Yuka had read a rather violent short story he had mad,e but told him she liked it. Yuka was very sweet.

"Reo, I'm so glad we're getting married! You're the bestest person ever, and so cute!" she cried with a slight lisp, pinching his cheeks as he blushed deep red, then smiled as Yuka ran into the woods that were beside her palace.

But she didn't know her sweet Reo would turn cold and pitiful. Yuka didn't see bad in him, she only saw the good, like Mikan sometimes did.

The two were both very good friends and would always hold hands and share their candy. They had mini sleepovers and camping in their bedrooms, and slept in the same bed, hugging each other tight in their childhood days and played tag. They would go to the lake everyday, and dip their feet in and giggle together, then climb tree's.

The two would stare at swans, Yuka's favourite birds, and say how graceful and beautiful the bird was. Reo would slip his hand in hers, and they would skip all day, and Yuka would make him dress up as king and she queen.

They were close, like two peas in a pod, then they grew into Teenagers...

It was Yuka's 13th birthday, and Reo was already 14 and she was having a royal ball with a banquet. Yuka had protested, saying she wanted to spend her time with Reo. Feelings had developed, and they were closer than before.

They were growing the feelings of love. Yuka and Reo were both blissfully happy.

"I want to spend this time with Reo! No one else, Reo's special to me, grandmama!" cried Yuka as her grandmother sighed, then patted her daughters head, and shook her head lightly.

"Yuka, you are finally a teen, you need to celebrate the day with everyone. I don't want any objections, now get ready." he grandmother said, leaving as Yuka sighed. She would try and lock the door, but she knew her grandmother would keep Reo away from her.

Yuka had no choice, she had to have that stupid party, she sighed sadly, and went to the balcony. She wanted her time to be with only Reo, whom she hadn't told her love to yet, and he hadn't told her, either.

"Stupid birthday..." she mumbled to herself, resting her arms on the stone edge of the balcony, a cold wind blowing through her chestnut hair that reached down to her ears. Yuka closed her eyes, when suddenly, a pebble was thrown at her head and someone below gasped.

"OW! WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT FOR?" she suddenly yelled, without thinking. Reo stared at her from above, and instantly dropped the pebbles. He was meant to throw it at the window pane, but it got her forehead, instead, well, her forehead had always been a little big... But would he even tell her.

Yuka was cursing and rubbing her temple as Reo climbed the vine up to her balcony. He then jumped in front of her, and she gasped as he gave her a warm smile, and held her hands in his.

"Yuka... You look beautiful, as always." he whispered, and she blushed deeply.

"D-Don't be so corny." she whispered as he smirked and pulled her into a sweet hug as Yuka screamed happily inside. She was also yelling at herself to kiss him there and then.

"R-Reo!" she giggled, when she tried to push him away, his lips caught hers in a gentle, tender kiss that she wanted to last forever. It was breath taking and heavenly, she loved it, it was her very first kiss, and her hazel eyes closed...

After moments of their first kiss, they pulled away and Reo smiled, winking as he slinked an arm around her waist. Yuka blushed as he pulled her towards him, like they were joined at the hip.

"Happy birthday, Princess Yuka." he said sweetly as she blushed even redder, then hugged him and kissed him passionately, their second kiss, it was so exciting and she was so happy, he had the same feelings as she did!

"I love you." she whispered, and he smiled, kissing her lips gently.

"I love you too..." he whispered slowly as she smiled and hugged him...

That night everyone had danced with Yuka or Reo, and they had spent alot of time together by the buffet table or dancing. Yuka would then sit in the throne with a large crown on her small head, falling over her eyes and nose as Reo laughed and tapped the crown, and kissed the only part of her face showing:

Her lips. Yuka was in a squealing frenzy by 9:00pm, and was running after Reo and tackling him then hugging him. Her grandmother was very pleased, and so was Narumi. His two best friends were really getting along...

Yuka picked up a small photo of her and Reo, holding hands as she smiled to the camera. They were 8 years old and Yuka had worn a pink ruffly dress with a frilly band in her hair, which had been shoulder length then. She sighed as she stared at the grinning 9 year old Reo.

Why didn't he stay sweet, like he once was. Yuka shook her head, and sighed. She then remembered something that was horrifing, even to this day, she cupped her cheek with her left hand as she sighed, and took out a choker that was black velvet, which had a bell on it...

"This is for you." Reo said when they were 15 years old, and he put a velvet black choker around Yuka's neck with a small silver bell at the end and she gasped, staring at it as the silver bell tinkled and she smiled, turning to him.

"Reo!" she cried as he smiled, and she hugged him tightly. She loved bells, and it was cat bells she loved, especially. Reo had got it for her, and she was almost at crying point as he kissed her forehead.

"It's for my kitty. Be good while I'm in my palace, okay? You keep everything in order and pray for my safe return, okay?" he asked as she smiled. Reo was leaving to go to his own palace, before he came to live with Yuka for 2 years until marriage.

Yuka couldn't wait, she loved Reo, but, she had no idea he didn't love her back, in that way...

Reo returned to his kingdom, smirking. Once he was king of the Alice, the main kingdom, he would have great power, and, he thought to himself, he had a pretty girl by his side. He knew Yuka was falling for him, fast.

His plan to become king and rule was working! All he had to do was get rid of those stupid family relatives of Yuka's, the spell would soon wear off...

Reo had always learnt black magic from a very powerful magician, and Reo became even more powerful than his master, and killed him to show how good he was. Reo grinned as he looked around the gloomy palace he lived in.

Every palace would be gloomy, he thought, once he was king of every country...

Yuka was sitting by the lake, singing and smiling as she stared at the setting son, a fiery glow upon the lakes waters as she sat there, then lifted her head, a clench felt in her stomach, something was wrong.

She lifted her feet out of the water, forgetting her shoes, and ran through the forest.

The first thing her eyes caught sight of was orange and red lights. Flames, she thought, and she gasped, running as fast as she could towards the palace. Her feet bled from jagged rocks and bramble, she didn't care, tears welled in her eyes as she ran towards her palace.

It was on fire. Her eyes widened as she stopped and stared at it, hearing the screams of the people in there. Yuka screamed, ready to run in there, until someone pulled her back.

"Yuka! Stay away!" he yelled, and she realised it was Reo, why was he there, but, she wasn't concerned about it, she tried to run into thre palace. He stopped her. She was his only means of getting the throne.

"No! NO!" she screamed, when a loud bang was heard and the palace erupted into flames as Reo held her, back, then let her go as she fell to the ground, crying. The people she loved had perished. Reo bent over her, and tried to hide his wicked smile.

"Yuka... I'm so sorry." he whispered as she sobbed, and tried not to look at him, when she felt his fingers on her forehead, tracing to her neck, where her birthmark was, it was in the shape of a crown, the royalty's sign.

Her eyes widened...

Every time they had been together, he would trace his fingers there, and on the real crown, he would always sit in the head throne, she thought it was childish, but then she once heard him talk about a magic he had, fire, he said, and that he liked the way it looked.

It never occured to her he was a pyro-maniac, she gasped, and turned in fright, just in time to see the wicked grin, which he tried to hide, the gleam, though, was still in his eyes.

And why else would he be at the palace? He had only just left. This was no coincidence.

"H-How could you? You killed my family." she whispered hoarsely as he stared at her, then smirked, hands on his hips.

"Oh, so now she realises. Yes, I killed your family because they would be in the way! You know what, Yuka Azumi, I placed a spell on your relatives to pick me over that Hyuuga boy so that I could be king! They wanted you to marry the noble Hyuuga son because he was good looking, athletic, pleasent, and well brought up! So I made them like ME!" he snapped as Yuka's eyes widened, he grinned, loving her reaction.

"R-Reo... I thought you loved me! I loved you with all my heart!" she cried, and he burst out laughing as she stared at him, the tears seeping from her hazel orbs.

"LOVE! I never loved you, why would I? I only want power! Stupid brat! Everything I told you was a lie!" he snapped, and Yuka's hands flew to her mouth, shaking her head as he approached her casually.

"No... No!" she yelled, covering her ears as he smirked, She was in pain... He loved it. Adored the pain she was seeping.

"Everything is a lie, you crow! I never thought you were a swan. To me you're ugly, pitiful... You're a human WRECK!" he yelled, grabbing her by the arms, throwing her to the ground as she screamed and cried, staring at him.

"I hate you! I hate you! Get away!" she yelled loudly, and threw branches and rocks at him as he used a protection spell to stop himself from being injured, and they hit Yuka, instead.

"You despise me... But now... You'll give ME the crown!" he hissed, when suddenly... Yuka kicked him right where it hurt, and he yelled, crouching as she stood and ran, tears spilling down her cheeks.

"I banish you, Reo. BANISH YOU!" she screamed, and Reo's eyes widened, she banished him, he was no longer a prince, but then, he caughter her, and burned a mark on her forehead as she screamed.

"You little wench! No one banishes me! I'll be back to get your kid and kill her!" he hissed, suddenly disappearing as Yuka's eyes widened, and she fell to the ground, staring at the sky as the mark on her forehead glowed, showing the sign of a swan as she screamed, and turned into a swan...

Years later, Yuka learned how to control her power to become a swan whenever she wanted, and she married Prince Sakura and restored her palace, in a different location. She made sure there was a bigger lake and woods.

She then had a duaghter, shortly after her husband died. Yuka was alone, but she still had Mikan, then she met Nina.

"I'm an Hyuuga!" she smiled, staring at Yuka as she held a boy in her hands, cradling him as Yuka stared at her, blinking. She remembered she was going to marry a Hyuuga, until Reo came into the picture.

"Oh... What's your husband like?" Yuka whispered, as Nina smiled brightly.

"He's gentle and sweet!" she explained, and Yuka then smiled, a smile that she hadn't shown in years.

"Then, let your son and my daughter marry when they are older... It's what I want. And possibly you, and your husband." she whispered, and Nina gasped, nodding and hugging her son close.

"Of course!" she beamed, and Yuka smiled. She had made a friend for life, and now her daughter was betrothed.

Yuka told only her husband and Nina about the curse she had, and she knew Mikan would have it, she saw that Mikan had the sign of the swan when she was born, instead of the crown on her neck, it was a swan with the crown. Mikan was cursed, but Yuka made sure she could control it, but she knew Reo would make it so she couldn't control it.

She knew he would return, because she had seen him watching her when she cradled Mikan as her husband died, he was smirking...

END FLASHBACK

The morning sun spilled into Yuka's room as it glowed on everything in her room, and Mikan walked in to see her, only to grow wide eyed, and run out, crying as she ran to Natsume and others, sobbing as she choked out what she had seen.

Laying on the white bed, Yuka slept like a sleeping Beauty, her head to one side as her last tears had trickled down her cheek, the picture of Reo and her together, torn in half, and the choker on the floor as a box of old memories littered the whole carpet, the last thing she had done was tear up that picture, before she left the world, and became an eternal swan, her memories flying out the open window...
