Rei woke up with a start. Something wasn't right. He slipped out of bed and changed out of his nightclothes.
He opened his door and ran down the hallways stopping once he entered the main room. Rei quietly opened the front door.
"Papa! Papa, Where are you?" Called the five-year old boy wandering through the forest at night.
He wandered around until he saw a trail of blood; Even though he was five years old he knew what blood was. When Rei saw the blood trail he bolted, following the small crimson river.
Rei kept running till he ran though some bushes, then stopped dead in his tracks. There before him was his father, beaten, sliced, and barely clinging to life.
Rei had tears falling from his eyes "Papa!" He cried running over to his father, falling to his knees near his head. Just looking at his father's bruised, and cut face made him cry more, and when his father didn't respond he put his head in his hands, and started sobbing.
"R…Re…Rei…?" His father said weakly, Rei jerked his head away from his hands and looked to see his father had his golden eyes half-opened. "Papa!" He cried happily "I'm so happy to see you're alive! I'll go get Mama and…" Rei was cut off as his father "I…I'm not…going to…make it…Rei." Rei's eyes widened as he heard those word, he could feel more tears coming "No, please don't talk like that Papa your scaring me." Rei said in a whisper.
His father only gave him a weak smile "R-Rei…your…my only…son…and I…know I haven't…said this to you…lately…but I'm…proud of…you."
Rei's eyes widened, his father never said that to him before.
"Over there! That's where he went!" Said a voice quite a distance away. Rei looked in the direction that the voice came from "Their…c-coming closer…Rei…you must…leave…now!" Said his father "There is no way that I'm going to abandon you!" Said Rei.
Rei's father looked at him with a sad look, then started to struggle to get up. Rei clutched to his father's shirt desperately trying to push him back down, but all his father did was push him off and stand up clutching his chest to stop it from bleeding.
To Rei his father looked more badly standing up then on the ground, his white shirt was covered in blood and scratch marks, as one huge cut that started from left shoulder down to his right hip, his black pant legs were no better, his waste length silver hair was mattered with blood and dirt, his face had a bruise on his right cheek, and a large horizontal cut on his left cheek. "Papa, Please lay down your hurt and need to rest." Came Rei's hushed voice.
"Over there!" Came the same voice as before. His father was glaring at the place were the voices could be heard. Rei grabbed his father's hand and tugged on it, he looked down at Rei when he felt the tug "Papa what's happening?" All his father did was kneel before Rei and bring him into a tight hug "These are matters…t-that you should not know about…you are…too young to…u-understand…what's happening…b-but know this…you have always…been my son…and…I-I love you…take care…of your…m-mother alright?" He said struggling to say his final words to his only son.
"I'll take care of Mama, but Papa I don't understand, are you going somewhere?" Asked Rei, his father smiled sadly and mumbled into his son's hair "Yes…I-I am…g-going away Rei…b-but you might…not ever see me again."
Rei pulled away slightly to look at his dad's face he was about to reply when "Look there he is!"
His father pulled away from Rei completely and forced himself to stand up, Rei grabbed his father's bloody pant leg and held on too them as he look at the strange men. There were eight of them in all most of them wearing black robes except the last two.
The leader Torn, Rei could barely remember Torn but hated him with a passion, but the other guy was the scariest person that Rei had ever seen. He had shoulder length black hair that he kept braided, piercing orange eyes, a scare over his left eye and on his right cheek though he was only seven-years old, he was wearing all black, and he didn't looked pleased to see him or his father.
"Well, well, well thought you could get away didn't you Suikotsu, but now you can't, can you?" Said the brown-haired man.
"Hey boss, the demon brought his demon child." One person said from under the black robe he wore.
Rei buried his head in his father's pants, Suikotsu responded by putting a hand atop of his head, and growled at them "Hurt one hair on his head… and I'll send you to a early grave." He threatened trying not to sound weak in front of them.
"Boy! I thought that was a girl." Said another robed man, Suikotsu patted his son on the head making him look up at him with those golden, tear filled eyes. "Rei…I-I…want you to r-run…when I…s-say so…alright." Rei shook his head stubbornly and clutched his father's pant leg tighter. "P-please Rei…you said…t-that…you take…c-care of your…m-mother…for m-me." 'The boy's so stubborn, I guess that's another trait that he inherited from me, but the boy looks so much like his mother.' He thought his own golden eyes filling with tears, out of the corner of his eye he saw them coming towards him, this would be his final battle and he refused to let his son get killed in the process.
"R-Rei…run now!" He said as he pushed his son away from him. Rei landed on the ground with a 'thump', but quickly got back up when he heard the some men coming after him.
As fast as he could Rei ran through the woods tears running down his face, as the sounds of grunts, screams of pain, slowly faded away
---------------------
Rei ran until he could see the house he lived in, his mother was standing in the doorway with a worry expression on her face.
His mother's long raven hair that she kept in a tie like his own was being played with in the wind, she had chocolate brown eyes filled with worry, she wore a blue kimono, and her red lips were parted into a small 'o'.
She spotted Rei and saw the tears that were running down his face, and the blood stained clothes, she knelt down and opened her arms as her son ran into them clutching her kimono, and shedding more tears damping her kimono top.
Nagiko rubbed her son's back whispering soothing words to him to calm him down.
When he calmed down she pulled back and looked at him "Rei what's wrong?" She asked. Rei's eyes filled with more tears "P-papa…he's not c-coming home." Rei said burying his face in her kimono again.
Nagiko gave her soon a confused look "What do you mean Rei?" Rei looked up at her and told her what he saw; by the end of his tale his mother had a shock expression.
"Mama, What did Papa mean when he wasn't coming back?" Instead of getting an answer he was brought into a tight hug. 'Oh Rei you saw things a boy your age shouldn't have. Suikotsu, my husband, my love now that you aren't here I'll try twice as hard to give our son a normal life.' She thought letting her own tears fall down her face. After minutes of hugging, and crying they finally separate "Rei, go into the house, and get your things. We will be leaving." She said.
Rei looked up at her confused " Why Mama what's happening?"
"Please don't question me Rei, just do as I say." His mother said in a kind voice. Rei nodded his head and ran inside followed by his mother.
------------------
Rei and his mother came out of the house with what little valuables they had, in Rei's hand he clutched his gift that his father gave him a while ago it was a silver beyblade, he treasured it when his father gave it to him, and now treated it like the finest diamond in the world, it was the only thing he had left to remember his father.
His mother grabbed his hand, as they started walking away from their home.
Rei took one last look at his home for five years of his life, and then continued to follow his mom.
----------------------
Nagiko walked through the forest carrying Rei in her arms, 'We've been walking all night, and there's no sign of a village yet.' She thought looking down to her son. Nagiko remembered the time before she met Suikotsu. She used to sing depressing songs, and so she sang a song that she still worked on but didn't finish…until now.
Lead to river
Midsummer, I waved
A V of black swans
On with hope to the grave
And through Red September
With skies fire-paved
I begged you appear
Like a thorn for the holy ones…
Cold was my soul
Untold was the pain
I faced when you left me
A rose in the rain…
So I swore to the razor
That never, enchained
Would your dark nails of faith
Be pushed through my veins again
She remembered when everyone would treat her like she was a murder when all she ever did was smile kindly and try to help.
Bared on your tombI am a prayer for your loneliness
And would you ever soon
Come above unto me?
For once upon time
From the binds of your lowliness
I could always find
The right slot for your sacred key…
Six feet deep is the incision
In my heart, that barless prison
Discolors all with tunnel vision
Sunsetter…
Nymphetamine
Tears rolled down her cheeks as animals came watching and listening to the sadden woman some being brave enough to approach her and walk beside her.
Sick and weak from my conditionThis lust, this vampyric addiction
To her alone in full submission
None better…
Nymphetamine
(Wracked with your charm
I am circled like prey
Back in the forest
Where whispers persuade
More sugar trails
More white lady laid
Than pillar of salt…)
This was the part of her song that she left unfinished. She stop singing these kinds of songs when she saw Suikotsu…and he asked for her hand in marriage.
Fold to my arms
Hold their mesmeric sway
And dance out to the moon
As we did in those golden days
Christening stars
I remember the way
We were needle and spoon
Mislaid in the burning hay
Bared on your tombI am a prayer for your loneliness
And would you ever soon
Come above unto me?
For once upon time
From the binds of your holiness
I could always find
The right slot for your sacred key…
Six feet deep is the incision
In my heart, that barless prison
Discolors all with tunnel vision
Sunsetter…
Nymphetamine
Sick and weak from my conditionThis lust, this vampyric addiction
To her alone in full submission
None better…
Nymphetamine
Nagiko sang the last note, and closed her eyes she stopped walking and sat under a tree. She jumped slightly when something cold touched he neck. She turned her head to she a tiger.
It looked like a regular tiger you would see…but there wasn't supposed to be tigers in this part of China.
The tiger grabbed her kimono sleeve and made her stand up then started dragging her in a direction.
Nagiko was puzzled but let the tiger do as it please. Soon both were outside of a town. Nagiko's eyes shined in relief and turned to thank the tiger but it was gone.
She turned back around and head out to the village hoping this time Torn wouldn't find them.
-----------------------
Rei sat down on his new bed. It had been a week since his father was killed and him and his mom ran away from there home. They were now living in a small town next to the mountains. Rei didn't like the town. All the kids made fun of him because he looked like a cat and say he cheater whenever he won a beyblade match.
Rei and his mother lived at the edge of town near the forest. He usual went into the to train. Rei lifted his head when he heard a knock on the door, "Come in." He said.
Nagiko opened the door and walked inside. "Hey kitten, what do you want for supper?" She asked.
Rei shook his head, "I don't know." He said quietly. Nagiko notice something wrong with him so she went over and sat down beside him wrapping her arms around him, "Is something wrong Rei?" She asked gently.
Rei nodded his head, "I don't like this place Mama. Everyone's mean to me." He whispered.
She nodded her head and brought his head in to her chest, and rested hers on top of his. "Oh Rei…I know you don't like this place, but we have to live here." She said gently.
Rei nodded his head but tears were running down his face. He buried his head into the fabric of her shirt and started to cry. She stroke his hair and rubbed his back, "Shhh…shhh…its okay. Let it all out." She whispered.
Rei's sobs calm down into choppy hiccups, which left him exhausted, "You feeling better?" She asked. Rei nodded his head, "Good. I wouldn't want you hurt Kitten." She said wiping away his tears. Rei sniffed and hugged her, "Thank you Mama." He said.
Nagiko smiled, "Your welcome."
"I want pizza Mama." He said. She smiled at him and nodded, "Ok just wait here okay." She said. Rei nodded his head watching her leave his room. He turned his attention to the window and looking out into the night sky, "I miss you Papa." He whispered to no one.
So what do you think? Please tell me!
Till next time!
