a/n: ok, either these next few chapters will clear a few things up, or make
everyone even more confused than before. Try and bear with me. If you don't
understand, don't worry cause I already have the prequel planned out and I
just need to type it so that might help you. Read on!!
P.S Thanks Gelugladius and Dizzy-chan for reviewing!! ^_^
Kaida Okami - The Beginning
Chapter Thirteen
Nightmares and Memmories
~*~ Dream Sequence/ Authors POV~*~
"MOMMY!!" screamed the little girl, white hair pulled into loose pigtails. She
stood, petrified, in the shadows watching with horror as the man she had grudgingly
called father slowly beat his wife to death.
"MOMMY!" she girl screamed again, lurching out of her horrified trance to
launch herself at her father. She wouldn't let him do this! She thought furiously. He
couldn't take mommy. Her father turned on her and smacked her across the face, claws
digging into the little demons cheek leaving a long gash. Kaida landed next to her mother
and gazed at her as time seemed to stop. Her mothers once beautiful face was covered in
bruises and blood, barely recognizable. Kaida's eyes filled with tears as her mother raised
a shaky hand to smooth her daughters hair. Hinshu's eyes where steady and kind, even in
death. As Kaida saw her mothers hand fall to the ground and her breath slow, a rage built
in her and her eyes saw red. A part of her brain was still functioning as she launched
herself at her father. A corner of her mind screamed at her to stop. That she was no higher
that the mans knee. That their was no way she could possibly beat him. Kaida ignored it
as she scratched at the mans face, her small claws seeking out his eyes. He flung her
away again to crumple against the wall and turned back to his now dead mate. Kaida rose
to attack again, but felt a pair of arms reach out from the shadows of a hidden passage to
stay her. Her brother Ryu immerged from the shadows clutching a slip of parchment and
pulled her away from the scene. Kaida fought, wanting nothing better than to feel that
mans blood on her hands. As Ryu dragged her out into the night and ran with her to the
edge of the woods he looked at her and she at him.
"let me go!" she hissed furiously, rage that far passed her small years emitting
from her voice and eyes. Ryu looked at her calmly.
"Your not strong enough." He told her. "It's the blood lust that allows you to go
on like this." His calmness washed over her, her eyes now fading from blood red to the
deep dark blue She was so proud of. She realized Ryu was right, like he always was. Her
big brother, so Different from her. So calm and collected as opposed to Kaida's wild joy
at the world And fiery temper. Kaida sank to the ground slowly, unshed tears filling her
field of vision.
"What do I do?" she said, voice small, scared. She looked up at Ryu. The only
one other than her mother that had ever been able to tell her what to do.
"Run." Said Ryu flatly. "Run away, and stay alive." With that he vanished into
night, back to the house that had become her living nightmare. Kaida rose slowly and
stumbled on only to collapse in a field not far away.
"Mommy," she said softly, finally allowing her tears to fall unchecked. Images of
her mothers death plaguing her mind. Images of her father, rage unchecked upon his
mate. Images of her larger than life mother haunting her as she cried herself to sleep.
~*~End of dream/Author POV~*~
Kaida bolted upright in bed, shaking and sweat covered. She stood on wobbly
legs and stumbled into the bathroom, bright light burning at her sensitive eyes. She
splashed water onto her face and felt her strength returning. She gazed at herself in the
mirror, black hair limp, framing her face with red rimmed hollow eyes.
Why now? She thought bitterly. Why did these nightmares and memories plaque
her now? She knew her past, she didn't need to be reminded of any of it. Kaida breathed
deeply and brought her emotions under control. It got harder and harder ever day. Harder
to control her emotions. Harder to keep herself form storming into her fathers office and
killing him on the spot like she knew Ryu expected her to do. But she couldn't. The
official would suspect her team right off the bat. They would be killed, all of them, and
Koenma, bound by his own stinking laws, would be able to do nothing. As much as she
hated to admit it, she had grown rather fond of her team. They where all like a family,
something Kaida had distanced herself from ever since her mothers death when she was
five. Kaida shook her head and moved to get dressed. It would be dawn soon and Kaida
knew she would get no more sleep this night. Kaida pulled her hair back and washed her
face, watching the red rims around her eyes fade. She pulled on her out fit and placed her
weapons, checking in the mirror to make sure she looked normal. It wouldn't do to have
them suspecting something was wrong. Kaida would handle this on her own. Team or no.
~*~ Okami's Office~*~
Okami smirked confidently. His daughter would soon be back and working for
him. He would be one of the richest demons on the face of the planet! There was nothing
Kaida 'Toorima' Okami couldn't steal. He would have the whole of Makai in his hand.
Then he could just get rid of her when he was done. He smiled evilly. It bothered him not
that it was his own daughter. As far as he was concerned, she was expendable. He didn't
hear Ryu enter. Nor did he see the dagger that imbedded itself in his back. His eyes
widened in shock as he looked over his shoulder.
"Traitor." He said as his eyes went blank and rolled up into the back of his head.
Ryu smirked down at the dead man that was his father.
"Just returning a favor." He said, making sure to erase his sent and tracks from the
room, but leaving the dagger.
Now the game truly begins he said to him self clutching tight to a slip of
parchment.
