Prelude - His Fate

It was raining that day… the day my mother, my love, my everything was taken from me.

That day… why did it have to be that day? The first time I felt happy in anothers arms, yet it happened that day.

I came at midnight because I spent all time with Aunt Haruka. Earlier that day she cast me into her embrace. The first time I found solace in anothers arms… I wanted to tell mother, but when I entered the 500 year old complex, I found blood…so much, blood… It drove me over the edge. I ran to our room. Aunty called after me, but I didn't care; the only thing that mattered to me was mother. I heard screaming, it pierced me. I wanted to stop, but I kept on going - I wasn't going to be turned away. The floor was drenched with blood and filled with drained bodies… Something inside me of loved it: the blood, the death, this chaos.

I reached our room. I heard my mothers' voice; I was relieved and scared all at once. What was to come? What was behind this screen that filled me with so much dread? I could only go forward to find out.

I opened the slid open the door. I was horrified at what I saw; my mother held a bloodied man by his neck, which was already broken. She had a violent look in her eyes: I was petrified. She spoke.

"Where is my child? Where is he? My little Yue?" Her voice was to cold, never have I heard her so cold… Her eyes filled with such malice. She wasn't the mother I knew, no she was a demon.

"Mo…ther…?" I took such small steps towards her. She instantly let the dead man drop. I was startled. Her eyes retracted, no longer was the demon in control.

"Oh my little Yue…" Tears streamed down her face. I was embraced with love, she bent down to her knees to my height; no malice or hate touched me. "My Yue, don't ever leave me again. If I was to lose I couldn't go on living." I returned her embrace; I wrapped my arms around her.

"I'm sorry mother… I won't leave you ever again." I started to cry with her. My mother loved me so much and I her. I closed my eyes trying to make sense of what was happening. Why was this happening? It tortured me so how she was dying over me.

"-Cough, cough-"I felt something wet… it was blood.

"Dammit… not now…" my mother whispered.

"Mother? Mother?!" I was screaming hysterically. Before she could answer me an arrow pierced through the night air. It was shattering: my mother howled as she put herself between me and the projectile.

"Yue?! Yue?!" I heard my name, but I didn't answer. Three others came towards are direction. I tried pushing my mother away to protect her, but instead she picked me up while cradling me around her chest. She ran with inhuman speed endowed only to the Hanabishi heir. I closed my eyes and clutched her tighter. Everything was a blur. When I opened my eyes I was horrified; she had been punctured with six arrows. I jumped out of her arms as she fell to one knee. I couldn't read her; she had an expressionless face. Then I saw him, the assailant.

"WHO ARE YOU?!?" screamed my mother.

"You're executioner." was his answer.

I stood in front of my mother as the man came closer. "Leave her alone!!" I was slapped to the ground. Pain welled up on my left cheek as a struggled on my stomach.

"YOU BASTARD!!" was all I heard.

"Don't worry I won't kill you. Only the child must die." He towered over me, those crimson eyes burning a hole in my soul.

"…Don't… hurt my… mother." was all I could cry out. I reached to him with my right hand. The executioner was crushing my hand. I howled at the pain. Feeling every bone in my hand breaking. It was excruciating, the pain caused me to the brink of oblivion. Tears were rushing down my face as I no longer looked a him.

"If you weren't born you little shit, all of this could've been avoided!! If it weren't for you Haruko-sama wouldn't be in her present condition!! I'm going to give you a slow painful death, to make you beg for your own!!" He grabbed me by my broken hand as I winced in pain. I was dead emotionally. His words removed any resistance that I had.

This must be divine retribution to what I did to mother… if I wasn't born she wouldn't be dying… At that moment I accepted my death sentence. I no longer wished to cause more pain to the person that I love the most in his world. Goodbye… It was over in an instant.

I was dropped to the ground. "Impossible… you should not have been able to move…" the assailant spoke his last words. I saw it: the blood, the arrow, his death…

"NO ONE TOUCHES MY CHILD!!!" my mother was behind the man's body. She thrust the spear further into the assassins' stomach causing him to cough blood. It spattered onto my face. I was terrified, so much so that I didn't even blink when she through him of the room and onto the ground below.

She was awashed with blood… so much blood. She came to me and pulled me into her chest with one hand. The rain was cold... her embrace took all of it way. I was shivering under her; the blood was still warm as it dripped onto me… She pulled me away from her. So that she could look at my face.

"You were scared… weren't… you…?" She collapsed on top of me. She was heavy. Why was she so heavy? I laid her on the freezing ground and hovered over her trying to block the icy drench.

"Yue my dear sweet child… I love you…Yet I'm afraid that I will no longer be able to be with you…" my heart was ripping out of my chest.

"W-what are you talking about mother…? You always promised me that you'll be with me, didn't you…? If you go…I'll be all alone…"

"My poor Yue… You'll never be truly alone in this world… You will find someone that will make you happy and have lovely memories with..."

"But… you're the only person that makes me happy mother."

"Yue I'm afraid that I can no longer be with you in this world… live a long life my sweet child… be happy you have… the right…yo…u…"

She was gone

"Mother please open you eyes… please mother, mother..." The rain was remorseless as it continued to fall. Then suddenly, a resonance struck into the hearts of all who heard it. It was the sound of someone weeping, a howl that filled even the heavens with sorrow. That day was the day that no one would forget, the day they heard the cries of ANGELUS…
