Akira Monou was a simple man. He was a wizard born to two muggles making him a muggleborn. He was greatly surprised when Setsuka Sakurazuka had approached him however. He had heard of the Sakurazuka family, they were known for their dark magic and one look into those amber eyes told him everything he needed to know. However in her arms was a small boy who was no older than two. He seemed innocent enough and right now he seemed to want out of his mother's grip.
Years had passed and Akira could say he was now the father of two children of his own. A boy, Fuuma, and a girl, Kotori. Fuuma certainly was full of hell. He seemed to specialize in annoying his mother. Whether it was accidental or on purpose when he set her wardrobe on fire when he discovered he had magic still remained a mystery. The only thing that had saved him was the fact that he now had magic and Sekka had yet another 'heir' as she called it. Then there was Kotori...
Kotori was almost always sick and when she was feeling okay she was glued to her older half-brother. Didn't matter if he was reading or playing the piano, where Seishirou went, Kotori followed. That was until that fated Christmas Eve...
Akira shook his head at the bad memories. That was a long time ago. Now he sat in a tent in Tokyo with his stepson who was about to get married. Looking at Seishirou he certainly looked just like his mother. Although who's to say he didn't look like his father; Akira had never met the man. He did however know the boy he considered his own. Marriage never seemed like something Seishirou was interested in, until he met Subaru. If Subaru had that kind of effect on Seishirou then Akira was all for the two of them being together no matter how much Sekka or Subaru's grandmother disagreed with it.
Even before Kamui had come in to find him he had a gut feeling something was wrong. He felt the chilling presence in the air. It was cold and eerie yet familiar somehow. "Good evening Daddy... Kamui is coming soon I'm afraid Mommy is after bigger brother again."
He was at a loss for words as his daughter's ghostly form floated in front of him. "K-Kotori? How?"
"I was a witch with unfinished business. I want to protect bigger brother as he protected me. Please don't tell him I am here. This is his special day. You're right about him and Subaru. I told Mommy that one day bigger brother would fall in love and it would be her downfall. So whatever happens make sure bigger brother doesn't do anything stupid. It will be what Mommy wants."
Hearing Kamui draw closer, Kotori looked with a sad smile. "I'm sorry if I was selfish Daddy but this was no one's fault but Mommy's and no one's choice but mine." She faded away just as Kamui entered.
Kamui quickly explained and Akira found himself fixing up his stepson's face which dripped with blood. He was somewhat determined to get his son to a hospital but Seishirou refused and Akira remembered his late daughter's words and didn't fight it.
"Just be careful, now go get married."
