Hello peoples, I wanted to do another Brago/Sherry fic. Actually, I've had this idea for at leat a good two weeks, so I wanted to at least get the story up. I'm not going to update as frequently as the other story (Come Back To Me), so I'm just letting you all know.
And also, This is going to be a short chapter because of,
1: It's a prologue, so... yeah
2: I couldn't think of an idea for a first chapter yet, so I made the prologue.
So please remember that this is just a prologue, nothing important happens in this chapter. What? I had to get this started SOMEHOW...
Hope you like it!
Gift from the Dark
Prologue
It's been a long time since the battle for king. I think back to the days where me and my mamodo would travel just about everywhere and search for the other teams. But now, a lot has changed since then. My mamodo, whom used to be cruel and dark, has changed tremendously. Though I do have to admit, so have I.
Sherry Belmond was sitting in a chair in a room of her home. She was gazing out the window, and thinking about the past nine years. She was the age 24 now, and was married to someone she had loved from the start.
Although he was not human, and he was from a different world, Brago had become Sherry's love interest, and after the battle for king, the two stayed together.
The dark mamodo did not win the battle for king, but he almost did. In the final battle with Zatch Bell – a mamodo who could control and summon lightning – the two had lost to him. But being as benevolent as Zatch was, he let Brago stay behind with Sherry. The mamodo could travel between the two different worlds if he wanted, but he mostly stayed in the human world, so he'd always be close to Sherry.
The blonde sighed, and looked out the window. It was a rainy day, and Brago had gone fishing again – which was something he often did – to find something raw to eat. Sherry had tried to persuade him many times to try cooked food, but as stubborn as that mamodo was, he'd constantly refuse.
He always said that you would gain strength from the food if you ate it raw, but Sherry hated the taste of raw food that had just been killed. The only raw foods she ate were sushi and sashimi. But she did recall one day where she had to eat raw alligator…
Yes, she remembered the day so clearly. She was out exploring in the woods, looking for the enemy, when the two took a break. The blonde had requested a fish, but Brago ended up bringing an alligator. Only because he said "He's the one who stuck his fangs in my face."
But for Brago, that was normal. He would always get revenge on something if he thought it was necessary. Sherry had just rolled her eyes at him whenever he acted like that.
How fortunate it was for her, that she received help from the dark mamodo when her possessed friend, Koko, had tried to kill her. But Brago jumped in front of her friend's mamodo's attack, saving her life. And she was grateful for that.
Brago ended up saving her many times after that. But Sherry had also saved Brago. He had once been a cold hearted person with an empty heart, but Sherry warmed that heart of his and filled it with compassion.
The young woman smiled, and then she heard a small thump. She looked over and spotted something, which only made her smile even more. Sherry walked over to where a small crib lay, inside was a baby.
Kalu, that was the child's name. The woman smiled and noticed that the baby had rested her hand onto the wood of her crib, making the small tapping sound she heard.
Brushing a small patch of black hair away from the baby girl's eyes, Sherry thought about how much Kalu looked like her father. She had a pale skin color, but it wasn't as pallid as her father's. The girl also had small black designs on her cheeks, but not above her eyes…
A gift from the dark.
That's almost what Kalu was, a gift of joy, but from the dark. Yes, Kalu was the daughter of Sherry and Brago.
The baby stirred in her sleep, and Sherry watched as the little one breathed, her chest slowly rising and falling over and over again.
The young woman sighed and turned away to gaze out the window again, when she saw Brago walking up on the grounds. Turning around to check on her daughter one last time, the blonde then started to walk preparing to greet the dark mamodo.
Ta Da...! Ok, I'm sure it's not that good. I'll try and make better chapters, but this was just a prologue and an idea i had in mind, so enjoy!
Oh, read and review! And if you are going to flame... be nice!
Oh, and I do not own Zatch Bell! (I need to stop saying "oh"... XP)
