Chapter Six
Miyuki POV
I don't know how many days or months I've been here. I miss the feeling of the sun's rays on my skin and wind blowing through my hair. I don't even remember what I look like!
The door to my cage opened, blinding me for a second. With a sharp tug of my hair, the snake like man pull me out of my cell. I felt my scalp burning, I tried to stay quiet, but I just couldn't anymore. "W-why are you doing this?"
He chuckled seemingly amused by my question. "Because your parents left you something I want." and continued to drag me on the floor.
We came upon a small room with a mental chair in the middle, Orochimaru shoved me to one his minions. "Make sure she doesn't try to get away."
The man nodded and carried me to the chair, he carefully secured me into it. The snake man walked to me, while wearing his sadistic smirk of his and grabbed my chin. "Any last words?" If only looks could kill, then he would have been dead along time ago. "No?" Orochimaru said in mock surprise.
He opened my mouth and forced a strange fluid down my throat. Orochimaru brought his forefinger that was burning with chakra to my head.
"Seal release!"
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! PLEASE STOP! IT HURTS!"
It felt like a thousand needles were being driven inside my head. I closed my eyes in pain, and when opened them I was staring at roof of the cell. 'I guess I blacked out...' I moved my body into a sitting position.
Silence.
It was to quiet, usually there was some type of noise. Water dripping or at least people's footsteps outside. A shadow figure crept closer, I rubbed my eyes fiercely to get the haziness out of them. The shadow was still there, I slapped my cheeks and pinched my arms. 'Not a hallucination...'
Throwing the stranger a suspicious look, "Did he send you to kill me?" I said in the coldest tone I could muster. He bent down to my level, my eyes widen in shock.
"Y-you!"
-flashback-
Three year old Miyuki stood in front of the grave of her grandparents with Lady Hatsumi and Jun. It had been ten years since they died, she was told of her grandfather's great conquests and of her grandmother's kindness and caring attitude.
The dark haired girl looked at her mother and sister, they were too busy offering their respect to the dead. Miyuki, like all three year olds was very curious, so when she saw something lurking in the trees she couldn't help but to follow it. Her all black kimono and midnight hair flowed through the the wind as she chased the animal.
Miyuki sung an unknown song while she ran around the cemetery, getting farther away from her family with each step. Never noticing the bright blue sky becoming dark and stars emerging like fireflies.
"Are you, Are you
Coming to the tree
Where they strung up a man they say murdered three
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it beIf we met up at midnight in the hanging tree
Are you, Are you
Coming to the tree
Where the dead man called out for his love to flee
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it beIf we met up at midnight in the hanging tree
Are you, Are you
Coming to the tree
Where I told you to run, so we'd both be free
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it beIf we met up at midnight in the hanging tree.
Are you, Are you
Coming to the tree
Wear a necklace of rope, side by side with me.
Strange things did happen here,
No stranger would it belf we met up at midnight in the hanging tree."
"Interesting choice of song." A smooth silky voice said.
Miyuki faced to where the sound came from and saw a man leaning on a tree. The black haired man smiles at her surprised expression, "So do you know what it's about?" He asked. She shook her head and stepped back, her onee-chan told her told her not to talk to strangers.
Gold eyes danced with amusement as he moved closer. "A dead man calling his lover to join him in death, there's so many variations of the tale, no body know which one is real. But my favorite version would be when the woman killed the three people. Her lover took her place in the hanging tree, however she lost her mind and thought that he was haunting her...and so as the guilt consumed her, she went to the hanging tree to end her misery."
Miyuki stared at the man, "You're weird."
The man wore a chuckled, "I know I'm weird" and tucked his hands inside the sleeves of his sky blue kimono. In the background he heard people screaming Miyuki, as they searched for her. He turned back to the little girl, making his high pony tail sway.
"You should go now, someone's looking for you." The strange man looked into Miyuki's amber eyes and smiled, before kissing her forehead.
"Goodbye my little snowflake." He said and walked away.
"W-wait! Who are you?" Miyuki mumbled, looking embarrassed.
"Senketsu. My name is Senketsu" and continued to disappear into the trees.
-oOoOo-
Miyuki POV
Same hair, same eyes, the only difference was now he wore a black kimono and hamaka.
"My little snowflake...what have they done to you" He brought me into a warm hug. Remembering, what the people said about him, I tried to push him away. "You're not real, people said you w-were a figment of my imagination." I sobbed "I'm so scared! I wanna go home!"
Senketsu rubbed my back in a soothing manor while whispering calming words to me. "Don't leave me please.." I begged. He slowly took me out of his embrace as if I was made out of glass and looked at me with a pained expression. "I am sorry, my snowflake."
He took off his outer kimono, leaving him with a white juban and loving wrapped it around me. Laid me down on the floor and did some handsigns. His forefinger burst with flaming chakra, expecting Senketsu to do the same as Orochimaru, I jerked my head out of the way.
"I don't move Miyuki I won't hurt you." He said in a gentle yet stern tone. He proceeded with his task and touched my head. Instead of feeling pain, I felt light and drowsy. My eyes began to droop, suddenly I heard the banging of the cell door opening. A man bathe in light came entered the room.
"I found her." The blonde called over his shoulder.
He picked me up, haori and all. I looked back at Senketsu through my half lid eyes, he sadly smiled. "I'll see you again...my little girl." I reached out to touch him.
"W-wait don't go.."
I fought myself to stay awake, the sleepiness was winning. The man blue eyed man carrying me gave me an odd look and glanced back at cell, seeing nothing he continued to walk. I dropped my hand, and surrendered myself to the comforting feeling of sleep.
-oOoOo-
A/N: Sorry for the short chappie. Writer's block..the next is gonna be longer. I swear! So you guys just met Senketsu Kurogawa (Miyuki's dad)
So for people who aren't familiar with Japanese clothing, a juban is like a inner kimono...I guess that's the easiest way to explain it. Then they wear the outer kimono, and a optional hamakas which are pants over the kimono. And a haori is pretty much a jacket.
Review please! (´･ω･')
