Wow, I was really surprised when I read my reviews from everyone. You were all so understanding ;-; Thank you all so much! I was worried that I'd disappoint everyone after such a long wait. It made me so happy reading all of your reviews ;-; (Lot's of tears of joy) Im sorry the times I update are so random. It took even longer this time :'( This chapter was hard to write since I kept changing the plot :P In the end Im only posting half of it right away, the other half is a total mess. Ashura's still OOC...

This is all a big long flashback. Thought it would be better to have a flashback and include all the mini ones I've put in. That's why you might say, "Hey, I've already read this!" :) It starts with the end of chapter 1.

"Hello there Fai."

Fai was lost in the moment. He expected that any moment this world would vanish and he would wake up laying beside Chi. The day he feared for so long had dawned. After so many years of hiding in this town, Ashura had tracked him down. Unfortunately the blonde had become somewhat well known in the area, seeing as he had not run into a single person who's power surpassed his own. It was abnormal for so much of the country's magic to be contained inside a single soul.

The fear, pain and abuse of his past stood in the doorway in the form of his king. Dark memories cluttered his mind, over ruling any thoughts of taking action. Instead, he stood. He stood in the middle of the room, only watching as Ashura smirked and only listening as footsteps approached from the only other room in the house.

"What's wrong with Fai?" asked Chi, her head cocked slightly to the side. Upon arrival into the room, she saw exactly what was wrong. It was him, standing in the doorway, his midnight hair draped over his muscular frame. As all color drained from his face, he could only hold his wailing daughter tighter as the man approached.

"Chi, please! Don't be dead! Just wake up, tell me you're okay!" Chi's pale lips did not move. No thought entered her empty mind as the cold lifeless shell that once contained her soul was pulled closer to the wizard's body and his tears fell on her face.

Unfortunately, Fai failed to notice what Ashura was doing next. He failed to notice as the monarch's heavy steps came nearer and nearer. He failed to notice as a cold knife was set upon his crying daughter's stomach. He failed to notice blood had begun to seep out of her. It was only when her sobs subsided that he finally noticed.

"She's your daughter Ashura-ou! Ours! How could you?" Cried the blonde. Blood drenched the adolescent girl's body he held in his hands. Her breath had quickened, each gasp shorter and more of a struggle than the last. She'd lost too much blood... at this rate, she'd never make it out alive.

For a moment, Ashura fell silent. His aura of power dropped, but was quickly and sloppily replaced. "Daughter?" He struggled to breathe a small chuckle, "I don't have a... I couldn't..." The memories of that night flooded back into his mind. He vaguely remembered a guard mentioning a child had been inside a cell, but he had simply brushed that thought aside. It was his own child lying in Fai's arm. His own blood that soaked their garments, and his spell that nearly killed her.

Taking advantage of Ashura's state of mind, the blonde wizard fled the house and ran a short distance. Gently, Fai set his hand upon Mayumi's wound. A blueish glow engulfed the crimson stains of blood, then slowly faded away. Once they had completely disappeared, so had the gash.

"Look Chi! It's been ten years, so we brought you some pretty flowers! Lots!" Mayumi's squealed with delight. She set down the small bouquet she held in her hands. "I picked these ones! Daddy has some for you too!"

Fai forced himself to smile. If he didn't, Mayumi would know how upset he was, leaving her just as miserable. Who knows, maybe she felt the same way already, and smiled for the same reasons. That or she was oblivious to the dark reality of what had taken place only ten years before.

Bending over, the blonde wizard set his own arrangement of flowers beside his daughters. "Im sorry it's taking so long Chi. I just want to make sure Im doing everything the right way so nothing goes wrong." He spoke, wiping a bit of dirt off her headstone.

"Y-you're alive... you're really here!" cried Fai. An array of strange characters cluttered the walls, each written in the mage's blood. His face was paper white, but it was worth it. The room was dimly lit, and in the middle of it sat a woman. Her hair was long and flaxen, nearly able to sweep the dirt of the ground with each delicate hair. It was exactly how he remembered her from the day of her funeral , the only difference was her ears. In place of her original, human ears, two white fox ears poked out of her head. That was not what the wizard intended to do, he hoped using the remains of various animals would simply return the organs that were damaged and had decayed, but Fai brushed that thought out of his mind.

Realizing she was being spoken to, her rose up. Her blank stare met her creator's exuberant one. "I've waited so long to see you! It's been so many years..." he continued. Still, the woman said nothing. She merely gave a small whimper of fear.

The wizard ceased his speaking for a moment. The woman continued to stare in silence, her eyes wide and her lips without the slightest curve of a smile. It seemed she was listening, but at the same time she was oblivious. This wasn't right, the woman he knew wouldn't do this. Concerned, Fai murmured, "Chi?

Expectantly, he stared back at her. The dark shadows in the room draped over her hair. She had not moved an inch since her soul had returned to a body. Was it possible he failed? If it weren't for the slow rise and fall of her chest, the magician would have thought she was still dead.

When she didn't speak, cautiously the wizard approached her with a single hand outstretched. As he leant over, she sank her teeth into his hand, tearing open the flesh.
