Chapter2

Shuichi Minamito had woken up from his restless slumber. He had the same nightmares every single night.

In his dreams, he always heard his mother screaming, "Run, Shuichi, Run!" Then he would hear a deafening blast and turn around to see his mother's mutilated corpse in pieces everywhere. Then, he would always trembly walk, trying to find his mother's face among the million pieces of flesh. "Mother?" He called out shakily , but having been given no response, he continuedf to walk on. All of a sudden, he stepped on something and pulling back, horrified, he realized it was his mother's face. She looked through him with empty, souless eyes, and on her mouth was a sickening smile.

Shuichi Minamito ... or should we say, Yoko Kurama: demon, stiffened at the memory of such a long time ago. He couldn't remember many things, such as what had caused his mother's death or who the assasin looked like. But, Kurama could still remember the name. The name of the person who gave him all the nightmares, the reason why he now lived alone, and the one who's blood he will someday spill. He quickly changed into his school uniform and swung his bookbag across his shoulders. He only had one thought in his mind as he quietly walked out the door to attend school.

'Karasu, I will kill you'

School was torment as always. Girls giggling and trying to make him talk to them which he hated so much. Avoiding another horde of chatty girls, Kurama walked over to his next class. The Studies of Ancient Legends. Kurama usually finds this class very amusing as it teaches you about old japanese legends of demons. Ironically enough, Kurama had actually known all of the demons the teacher, Mikazaki- Sensei, spoke about. In fact, many of the demons had been killed by none other than Kurama himself. A few weeks ago, Mikazaki-Sensei made the class study about Demon Theif, Yoko Kurama much to Kurama's amusement. Can you imagine why?

Anyway, Kurama walked into the classroom and spying that the front half of the classroom was seated by many of the most noisiest girls in the school, he intelligently took the seat in the back corner of the classroom.

Mikazaki Sensei walked in and shut the door. He looked very excited and was carrying many paper documents and a tape recorder. "Class, I have a very special treat for you today!Yesterday I discovered documents of a demon no one has ever talked about ever and most likely not many will know of. I even have a special voice sample!" Mikazaki Sensei said quickly with a certain pride in his voice.

'A demon not many has heard of?' Kurama thought. 'Lets see who this mysterious demon is'

MIkazuki looked at one of his paper documents and said, "Not many know the true name of this demon but many have called him, 'The Forbidden Child'

Mikazuki Sensei started to read off his documents.

"Long long ago, the moon was strangly crimson red. It shone a light even more powerful than the sun upon the Ice Village of Koorime, where the ice apparitions dwell. In the middle of the village, an infant could be heard crying. A momnet later, ice maidens all around could be heard gasping. A group of apparitions formed a circle around a beautiful ice maiden who had turquoise hair that was tied up in a red ribbon. She was holding two bundles, each one carrying a newborn infant. Twins. Her twins. The crowd could be seen pushing, trying to get a look at the bundles. The first one, a girl, was an exact identical of her mother, turqiouse hair, with a kind and gentle complexion. However, the girl was not the infant that the ice maidens were fighting to get a look at. They were all crowding around the boy. Each one of them gasped the same thing to each other. " A Fire Child! How! " What was most remarkable about the sleeping child was the U shaped scar upon his forehead. All the ice maidens bent over to have a better look at the mysterious cut. All of then gasped in fear when it opened up and revealed itself to be a crimson eye. Many phrases were heard spoken. " A Jagan Eye!" "The child is evil!" "He is a curse upon this village!" " He must be executed! "

The villagers demanded the mother to hand over her child or face the consequences of treason. The mother refused and the next night, stole away from their home and went into hiding. While the mother was in hiding, it is said that she sang a lullabby to her children, a family lulluby. The next day, the villagers had caught up with the woman and began to chase her.The mother was running blindly but her pursuers finally caught up with her. The leader of the village, Yukiko, called upon an ice maiden named Rui who was the mother's best friend and ordered Ruki to execute the child by throwing him over the cliff of Koorime to his death. Ruki reluctanly consented and refused to look at her sobbing friend's eyes. She took the bundle which held the child and looked at it. It woke up from her gaze and opened it's sharp eyes which were crimson like fresh spilled blood. Rui's blood froze at his glare but she determinedly whispered to it, " If you survive, you will be banished from here forever. You are now the forbidden child. Even so, please watch over your half sister!" Ruki thought the child would not have understood a word she said but the look in his eyes proved her wrong. She silently threw him over the cliff. The mother burst into tears, and two of drops turned into tear gems. One of them was a bloody tear and turned into a red gem, brighter than any ruby. The other one was ice blue. The red gem fell onto the ground and before anyone could stop it, rolled over the cliff as if trying to follow the child. All the ice maiden believed the child to be dead, having fallen millions of miles to a land unknown to most ice demons.

Many believe that the child indeed survived and swore revenge upon the entire village and as soon as he grew old enough to walk, slaughtered all the ice maidens that partook in in his mother's execution, for after they believed they had killed him, they tortured and killed his mother and only left his sister, Yukina to live.

However they all ignored the girl believing her to be tainted by her bad heirtage. And as he silently promised Rui, who he had whom he had spared from sharing the fate of the others, much to many people's confusion, the fire child watched over his sister silently, not letting her know that she ever had a brother who slaughtered many of her people and was known as the Forbidden Child."

Many of the girls were whispering in hushed voices," That story was so sad..." Even Kurama, who had killed so many was saddened by this story. 'I wonder if he's still alive. Miakzaki sensei never mentioned the time period of this story. I suppose he doesn't know.'

"Thats not all" Mikazaki sensei said. "I also have a recording from this legend for you all to hear! A man from the eighteenth century recorded this by accident while walking home from a party at midnight" He pressed play and all of a sudden, a voice was heard. Not just anyvoice though, a voice so sad and mourning. Not a loud voice but not quiet either, not a shrill voice but not a deep voice. A voice that can bring anyone to tears. 'In other words' Kurama thought, 'A perfect voice'

The mysterious voice began to sing and Kurama found that it was sung in ancient Makai Language used by few demons today. 'No one in the class besides me will know what the words mean I suppose' Kurama thought but his thoughts began to drift as the humming stopped and the words to this soothing voice started.

"Sweet tears, down my face,

Crystalized into an unbreakable fate.

Your hands are grasped within mine,

Turning into an unbreakable bond.

They come and we run forward,

Pulling each other along the way.

We'll survive if we believe,

That the unbreakable bond is here.

Sweet tears, down my face,

Crystalized into an unpenetrable curse.

Your hands are grasped within mine,

Turning into an unbreakable bond.

But my mind faltered one moment though,

And our bond was as fragile as glass.

They came and broke that fragility of glass,

And left my hands stained with unwipable guilt.

Bloody tears, rushing past my face,

Crystalized into an unbreakable curse.

It will follow you like grasped by your hand,

Turning into a unfaltering chain.

Please forgive me,

I'll never leave you again,

Am i forgiven?

will I ever be?

Unatonable sins

Will I ever be forgiven again?"

Many people were whispering again, "Wow, I had no idea what that voice was saying but I felt like crying anyway..." "Whoever can understand that song must be bursting into tears by now!" "Yea I know! I wonder what that demon looks like with such a sweet voice." "Yea! I can't believe he slaughtered so many others with such a lovely voice!" Girls whispered.

Unnoticed in the back corner, Yoko Kurama was staring at the recorder with silent but mournful tears streaming down his face.
