The Golden Land
Memories
AN: This chapter takes place during Episode 7 and before Will came.
Disclaimer: I do not own the awesome Umineko No Naku Koro Ni and Umineko No Naku Koro Ni Chiru series.
Lion Ushiromiya sighed as she walked into the garden. She secretly envied Jessica's free life. Lion had to follow whatever she was told to do. The blonde only complained in the back of her mind.
The woman shook her head. 'No,' she though, 'I don't wish for a life like Jessica's. I was chosen to be the head at birth; a path that I must follow.' Lion kept telling herself these lies. She secretly wanted to be free, but she kept telling herself lies to ease the pain of a wish that would never happen.
Memories of her childhood clouded her mind for a few moments. When Lion was just a toddler, she was told by Natsuhi to never tell anyone that she is a girl. If she did, then the title of Head could be stolen by George, her cousin. Not only was he older than Lion, but he was also male, thus the title could go to him and not Lion.
Lion had to wear suits even when she was young. Over the years Lion and George were thrown into a battle between Natsuhi and Eva to see which kid was better. 'More like which mother was better,' the blonde thought. When Lion started to develop breasts, Natsuhi had her bind them. It felt uncomfortable, but the blonde learned to live with it.
Once she was sixteen, Kinzo, the family head, gave her the Head of Ushinomiya ring, only it was silver. He then told her that her father, Krass, would act as the head until she was twenty, then Lion would take the place.
The battle between mothers ended that day, but Natsuhi and Krass was still as strict as ever. Training for her position the head never stopped. Even now, at nineteen years old, she still was training.
Lion looked at the roses. She had a feeling that things would change. For better of for worse, things would change.
AN: It's been forever since I have updated, sorry for being gone! *shot* Anyway, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR REVIEWING/WATCHING, it means a lot to me!
This is just my view on Lion (yes, I think she is a girl) and her past. I do see her not telling anyone she's a girl, but not telling that she is a boy either. This is a little AU and Lion might be a little OOC, so sorry about that ^^;
