Author Notes:
Ah-ah
It's been so long
I missed writing this but I didn't know how to start
And so I tried
And ended with this!
X3
It wasn't what I planned
But I enjoyed writing it all the same
It is different in a way
But it will help me on the last chapter/s
Hope you guys like it!

IX. "Of tears and ash"
.
"Soaring dragon
that commands the water
that protects Suwa"
…
It rains
…
"Guard the carrier of the heirloom
named after you."
…
As he watched he wondered
The rain
It was supposed to be a blessing
A gift from god
A gift brought upon by prayers
Prayers from the people
Prayers sung by the Miko
…
"Grant protection to Suwa."
…
But the Miko has died
Died as she prayed
Died as she sung
Sung for her people
Sung for protection
Sung with her prayers
…
So why?
Why does it rain?
…
Maybe kami cries?
Cries for her
Cries along with her
Cause her people falls
One after another
…they fall…
…
all around her
They fall along with her
And so the sky cried
…
Rain as black as ash
Rain as red as blood
Blood as red as fire
…
The Miko fell
Fell along with her Lord
Fell along with her people
…
And so Suwa fell
It fell like rain
Rain that once blessed the land
Rain that now falls like a curse
…
A rain of fire
Of ash
And of lives
…
And so darkness came
And fell upon the land
As countless people fell
For demons have come
…
And so the young Lord cried
Cried like the rain
Piercing the night with grief
…and of pain…
…
For his cries were heard by none
His tears were seen by none
The land could not hear his cries
For the land itself cried
…
And so he grieved
For a moment he did
For in his arms laid the Miko
And by his side was a sword
A sword that was carried by the Lord
…
After a while
The cries stopped
As the blood dried
And red became black
…
The land became silent
Silent as death
Silent as the night
For everyone has died
Died along with the demons
The demons that terrorized the land
…
It's just that
…the rain…
…the rain still fell…
…
Rain as black as ash
Rain as red as blood
Blood as red as fire
…
The Miko cried
Cried for her land
Cried for her Lord
Cried for her son
…
She cried silently
Silent and still
She cried with tears of blood
Flowing steadily, unending, non stopping
…
Her tears kept on falling
For she was mourning
For even in death
…she kept on praying…
…
"Soaring dragon
that commands the water
that protects Suwa
Guard the carrier of the heirloom
named after you.
…
Grant protection to Suwa"
…
The Lord could not cry
No matter how much he tried
Because he has no tears, no blood, no life
He has nothing to shed
For he has nothing left
…not even for his wife…
…nor son…
…much so his land…
…
It was such a sad tale
So sad…so sad
But it's no yet done
Oh no, it's not
…
For their son he is still there
Alive, oh yes he is
The young Lord lives
And that was it
…
The young Lord is lost
Lost in the dark
Lost in the fire
Lost in the ash
Lost because of his loss
…
He was still
Ever so still
He was mourning
He was grieving
…
And so the young Lord sat still
Ever so still
On his right he held his mother
On his left was the sword of his father
…
He held on
Strong and unyielding
Because he made a promise
And this time…
…this time he will not fail…
…
Because he is no longer weak
Because he became strong
When he was showered with loss
…
But it was late
Oh so late
His strength came in late
Ever so late
…
But still
He remained still
No one could reach him
No one should dare
…
Because the young Lord promised
He promised to be strong
Strong enough to protect
…
…and now he is…
…
Even though he is late
…
For everyone has died
And there is no longer
Anyone to protect
…
It was a nightmare
A horrible dream
And it was unreal
…
But then he woke
And he felt lost
For the world that greeted him
Was a nightmare
All on its own
…
But he was alive
Even though he was not well
He was alive
Even though he grieves
He was alive
…
And so he will live
…
For he was saved
Saved by a child
That smiles so mild
A powerful child
That closed his mother's eyes
…
"Tsukiyomi"
The goddess of the moon
She shone on that night
Ever so bright
So much like the moon
Shining brilliantly even in the dark
…
"I am Tomoyo"
…
The goddess whispered to him
Told him of a different name
Her real name
And it suited
He knows not why
But it was better
…
"…and you are?"
…
"Kurogane"
…
It was a new land
It felt like a new world
And it would be like a new life
For it felt like he had died
And maybe he had
Along with everyone he loved
…
However
The young Lord is stubborn
He was hard headed
And he is strong
…
And so he did not crumble
He did not break
He will not fall
He will rise
And he will grow
…
For as his land fell
As those he loved died
As a part of his soul crumbled
A wish of his took seed
…
It was a wish
It was a promise
It was his goal
…
He will be strong
…
He will have strength
Great strength
that no one can match
That no one can defeat
…
Because he made another promise
It was a promise to a child
A promise to his light
A promise to the one
The one that saved him that night
…
It was a promise
…to protect…
…
But she found him foolish
That what he seeks
Is not what he wish
And so she sent him away
To a different land
A different time
A different dimension
…
"…find the meaning of strength…"
…
And he found it
Along with a blue-eyed, blonde haired idiot of a mage
…
And so yeah… It was Kuro-sama's past. I had been centering on Fai but then I suddenly wrote about Kuro-pon and it was not even on a first person point of view. But yeah… It is different and is a whole lot more subdued… I wrote it this way because it was Kuro-tan… I don't see him as the 'I'll think of my horrible past' sort of person… so yeah.
And oh… the next part may be the last or second to the last so please look forward to it. XD
So yeah… REVIEWS? Anyone?
