In this unique, alternate universe. We follow Kita, an alternate versio of Corrin who was drastically scarred by the events of the story. Being even more sensitive then Sakura. Also, Valla and Anankos don't exist in this timeline. Only Hoshido and Nohr. Lastly, since Anankos doesn't exist, Sumeragi is Kita's father. What will Kita do? Will this story be a repeat of the real Fates with a few tweaks?
Let's find out…
Chapter 1: Stigma of guilt.
Kita stood in the fields of Hoshido. She stood between the two armies of Hoshido and Nohr. She was still having trouble processing everything that had happened to her. She was born to one kingdom, yet taken and raised by another. Even worse, in the short time she had known her mother, the sword that Kita carried killed her and several villagers. She still felt guilt as the memory came in and stung her again and again.
"Kita!" The princess was dragged out of her daydream by her brother, Ryoma. The red armored warrior held a katana in one hand and outstretched the other towards her. "This way." She looked over and saw her other brother and her two sisters. Her younger sister looked very worried.
"Big sister?"
"She's MY sister!" Kita turned towards the voice of a young girl and two other people in black clothing. The Nohrian royals she thought as family. She saw a man in black armor atop a horse. Her adopted brother, Xander. Just like Ryoma, he held out a hand to Kita.
"We're your family!" He claimed. Trying to get her to side with him. And so, Kita stood there deep in thought about everything that happened to her thus far. She always dreamed of becoming a capable warrior. She felt honored when King Garon gave her that dark sword. But then she learned the truth about her Hoshidan origins. How she was originally a noble of that kingdom.
"My… Family…" She thought back to her mother and the festival she held in honor of her daughter's return. She also remembered the cataclysmic event that happened. "I… I just…" Tears stung at her eyes until she finally broke down sobbing. "I can't do this." She cried. The two princes looked at her in confusion.
"Kita, what do you mean?" They both asked in unison. She trembled as she looked down at the golden sword that she had gotten out of the disaster. She was told it's wielder would save the world. Yet when she held it, she felt pain and anguish. Kita trembled and in a burst of emotion, threw the blade through the air. It landed sticking out of the ground hilt up.
"I can't take any more lives!" She hollered at the top of her lungs. She turned over to Xander and tried her best to be strong. "Xander, please withdraw your troops." Xander was caught off guard by Kita's statement.
"Kita, are you siding with the Hoshidans?" He asked in disbelief. Kita tried to hold back her sorrow.
"I won't go back to Nohr after I've learned the truth about my real family. Even if I didn't, I still witnessed the tragedies of war with my own eyes." She started to cry even more. "King Garon raised me for the sole purpose of being a weapon and killing innocents. Including my mother, the queen of Hoshido. I never want to go back to such an evil man, or pick up a weapon for that matter." She pleaded.
Xander was absolutely speechless with what Kita said. He couldn't even begin to comprehend what was happening. "Father… evil? Kita, are you even listening to your own words? Please come back to your senses!"
"I have come back to my senses Xander. I never want to kill anyone ever again!" She hollered across the fields. She looked up to the prince with teary eyes. "Please Xander, this war can end without any more unnecessary death if we just talk things out." Kita pleaded with a small amount of hope in her voice. She held out a hand to him. Xander paused for a little bit in thought.
"Kita…" The wind howled as everyone went silent. Until suddenly Xander took his sword and swung it at Kita. The cut he made wasn't lethal, but it still was incredibly large and spread across her chest. "There is my answer, traitor." He spat in a vicious tone. Kita trembled and felt the painful wound. She looked up at the man she called brother for so long with a confused expression.
"But… Why? No one else needs to die."
"Your intentions have nothing to do with this. You speak such blasphomus words and turn your back on those you called family?" Kita felt fear as she saw Xander so upset.
"I just can't be a part of that kingdom anymore Xander. Not after everything that's happened." Xander sighed in disappointment.
"You want to side with Hoshido and betray us all? Fine." He slowly raised his sword skyward and prepared for another attack. Kita was afraid as the blade swung downward. But before it hit her, Ryoma jumped in and blocked it with his katana.
"Not on my watch, Nohrian scum!" The prince growled. Kita was relieved to see her brother defender. She was about to speak when the pain from the cut set in again. "Do you have the strength to walk?" Ryoma asked. Kita nodded while wincing in pain. Ryoma pointed to the other Hoshidan royals across the field. More specifically, the younger girl with short pink hair. "Go to Sakura, she will tend your wounds." Kita did as she was instructed and ran away. "Now that my sister is safe, our battle can begin!"
Kita made it to her other siblings, still clutching the wound. Her siblings were absolutely shocked with everything that happened. Hinoka started to panic at the sight of it. "Kita, don't move a muscle! Sakura, get your wand!"
"I-I'm on it!" Sakura did as her big sister instructed and used a wand to heal her wounds. The cut and blood instantly started to fade.
"Thank you, little sis." Kita sighed. She looked up to see her brother, Takumi, very upset about something.
"Why?" He grunted. "Why did you throw the Yato away like its trash?" Kita was a bit frightened by the question.
"I just can't bring myself to wield a weapon anymore. Not after the incident that happened. Even if I could bring myself to hold a weapon, I'm not worthy of such an honor." She looked down in shame. "If the Yato should've choose someone else. It should've been either you or Ryoma." Takumi was caught off guard by Kita's explanation. He felt awful about how he judged her earlier.
"Kita, I had no idea you really felt like that. I should've had been kinder to you."
"Don't worry about it so much." Kita replied with a soft smile. It was then that Azura arrived. Her flowing white dress and blue hair were torn and ruffled from the battle.
"Sorry I'm late. What happened?" She asked worriedly. Hinoka rubbed her head awkwardly.
"Well, I don't really know where to start." Eventually, the battle started to slow until Ryoma bested Xander.
"Ugh. No use fighting with these wounds. We need to retreat for now." Xander turned and looked at the Hoshidan army one last time before riding off. "This isn't over little princess." He spat in disgust.
Ryoma walked over to where the Yato lay in the ground. He grabbed the blade's handle and pulled it out of the ground. He looked at it and sighed. "Without Kita, who can wield this sacred sword?" He asked himself. He soon heard the rapid footsteps of his siblings running over to him. "This battle is won, but this is just the begging." He stated sternly. He then turned his attention over to Kita with a sympathetic expression. "Sister, I feared the worst when you threw this sword across the field. But now that I've heard your plight I can understand your reasoning." Kita was soothed by her brother's support.
"Thank you, Ryoma. I'm glad to hear you understand my choice." Kita looked down to the ground and frowned. And what she said next shocked everyone. "It's sad to say this will be the last time we see each other."
