Phase 1: His Pain, His Grief, His Sorrow, His Savior

The rain continued to torrent; roaring at everything it could touch. The sound of the storm was deafening, as if it were a requiem of transience. Yet Yue would not move, he would not leave his mother, he would not let the rain wash away the cadaver. Hovering over her, the tears of blood that bled from his eyes fell silently across her face. They were not tears of sorrow, but tears of regret. Had he not found happiness with another she would still be able to breathe life. Had he not been born she would not have suffered so. The words of the assassin still echoed in his ears: "If you weren't born you little shit all of this could've been avoided! If it weren't for you Haruka-sama wouldn't be dying! If not for you she would not be tormented so! It would've been better for all of us if would disappear!"

A figure began to emerge from the chaos. Yue noticed, but refused to look away from his mother. The entity moved closer to him, until he shadowed over him. Yue was instantly kicked to the end of the wall. The impact caused him to gag blood. The being rushed and chocked Yue by the throat, making him grasp for air.

"Why do you resist death?!" the man asked violently. Yue didn't answer; he just stared into the eyes of his father. "Why do you insist on living after the crime you committed?!" Yue was thrown to the drenched ground and was being crushed with every stomp to his already broken body. "You already caused the love of my life to insanity!! She wanted to have you, but I didn't!! Haruko was already a weak woman, yet you squirmed out of her like the monster you really are!!! I refuse to accept trash like you as my flesh and blood!! I deny your existence!! She loved you so much and in return you show gratitude by taking her life… MY LIFE!!!"

To Yue nothing mattered anymore… The pain being inflicted to his body felt like nothing to the pain that was being driven into his soul. He looked on as the rain reflected off of his mothers' body; tears of hatred were spilt. Tears of hatred that he had for himself. He was disgusted at himself. He wanted to kill himself, with his own hands, but he was to much abused physically.

"…"

The man picked Yue up by his neck. "What did you mumble you heartless bastard?!" Kaoru Hanabishi embraced his full demon, eyes that were vermillion, with intent to kill, he pushed all of his pent up frustration and forced them into this corpse.

"Kill…me…"

Kaoru snapped. His intent was clear: readying for the execution, he stood with Lucifer. Yue closed his eyes and let go of his will to live.

Suddenly, a force of nature fell upon the roof. The two were separated from each other and a women in vengeful black appeared. Yue became numb; his entire body was deadened… He dared not to look at the person; fear had stilled him, taking away his resolution. Kaoru returned to his feet, now more determined than ever to kill. "Move!"

"I refuse." said the women.

"I said move!!"

"And I said I refuse!" the women stood ready to protect her nephew. She embraced her inner demon, causing the rain around her to wave away from her.

"Why do you want to save him!? He caused enough pain and agony to this family!? He's-"

"Shut up!!"Haruka cut him off.

Kaoru began to laugh, a laugh of madness. He moved back his wet hair and left his hand to linger there. "He's seduced you to, didn't he? 'Innocence of a child' is that it Haruka? Did you fall for his demonic beauty, like your foolish sister?" Haruka shot a gaze of hateful intensity.

"Don't speak about my sister in such a manner! You drove her away by your own doing! You were so caught up in your own loneliness that you failed to see hers! She loved her son so much that instead of supporting her, you resented how much time she spent without you! You disgust me, blaming a child for your own mistakes!" Lightning illuminated the setting of discord and the symphony of thunder cried.

"Stop it! Stop it! Stop blaming me!!" Kaoru was in denial. He covered his ears, snapping his head in all directions. "It's that devils fault! His, not mine! It's all his fault!! IT'S ALL HIS FAULT!!!" Haruka ignored his ranting and went to Yue. She stood over him.

Yue was in his own world, not listening to what his father and aunt were saying. Why is this happening? Why am I hated by everybody? Even my own father hates my existence. Is everything my fault? Am I the reason that mother is dead? Would no one care if I were to disappear? In that moment Yue accepted it; that no one would acknowledge his existence. Something was awakening with in him; an emotion called resentment. A resentment to everything: his family, his father, even his mother. But these were not his feelings; they were of someone else's. In the depths of his own mind he asked the question.

"Who are you?" asked Yue.

Yourself. answered the demon. Yue was taken back by the remark. The figure stood in the mirror of shadows, not revealing itself.

Does everything to you have no meaning? Do you hold nothing sacred? Do you want everything to disappear? The question already had an answer.

"Yes…"

Haruka was heartbroken, seeing her nephew in such a way seeped into her very core. She was brought down to her knees. Pulling him closer, she cradled him under her arms. Then she felt a presence… a presence with murderous intent. Instantly she was forced into the air, the impact caused her gasp for air. She flew back ten meters, falling brutally to the ground below.

"W-what…the hell?!" said Kaoru. What's going on, who the hell is this woman?! First I see Haruka cradling that bastard and the next she's hurled up in the air!? "Who are you?!?"

"Oh don't you recognize me, father?" the voice was emotionless. "I guess you wouldn't, after all I'm his alternate personality. I am called Yuelyn, Yue's inner vampire." Yuelyn walked closer to her so called father.

Kaoru stood in horror as his fear became a nightmare. How could this happen it wasn't supposed to emerge this early?! It may be more powerful, but I won't allow it to deter me from my goal!

"Are you petrified father? Does the realization come? That you no longer have the power to hurt me, become terrifying?" She moved closer, allowing her inborn ability to heal this body.

"Do not address me in such a way you monster!" Kaoru rushed against her, bringing his capacity into full play. He was stopped instantly - Yuelyn had cancelled out his attack and held him by his throat.

" So I am a monster am I? Does that make you trash?" Yuelyn tightened her grip causing Kaoru to struggle for air. Her voice became more vicious."You are the lowest of all creation! Blaming me for the death of my own mother! How dare you?! If you were ever at home you would've realized how much I loved her! Yet you insisted on blaming me and because of it you reduced my other self to pieces of a shattered mirror!" Kaoru tried breaking the grip, but could not as she was infinitely more powerful than her. The emotion in her tone became nonexistent."Do you know why I was chosen to inherit Yue's body? It was to protect him form trash like you." Yuelyn drove him to the wall causing Kaoru to black out. "Such a shame… I wanted you to suffer more, I'll just have to be satisfied with killing you…"

Before she could deliver the fatal attack, a group of figures thrust her away from Kaoru and held her down. They set a necklace around her neck."GET OFF OF ME YOU TRASH!!!" Yuelyn couldn't move and she could not access her vampire strength. "What the hell did you do to me?!" the group of figures refused to answer her.

"Are you alright Kaoru-sama?!" said one of the men.

"What did you do to her?!" Kaoru tried to even out his breathing.

"Toshiro-sama told us to put this on Yue-sama's neck in case the inner demon were to emerge. This suppresses his physical abilities." Kaoru saw his opportunity. He was ready to kill her again, but he was stopped. "We can not allow you to inflict anymore injuries to Yue-sama, these are Toshiro-sama's orders."

"Tch…so even the head of the clan wants him to live."

Yuelyn was dragged to the center of the complex, where her true father was waiting. Kaoru was walking behind her, with scowling glares directed at her. She ignored it and focused on what was to come. She entered the inner sanctum. The room was dimly lit with candles encircling the entire room. A the top of the stairs stood a man of great stature, Toshiro Hanabishi the 500 year old immortal and leader of the Hanabishi vampires. He stood up from his chair towering over everyone that was present.

"Seal her." was his command. Haruka appeared before Yuelyn as she was pinned to the ground.

"No, let me go! Don't you understand?! Without me he'll die!" Her remarks were ignored as Haruka placed her hand over Yuelyn face.

"I'm sorry…" she whispered. She was knocked unconscious as Yue' body returned to normal Yuelyn was struggling on the edge of her existence within Yue's mind…

Yuelyn woke up slowly, trying to make sense of where she was. She stood on the opposite side of a graveyard fence. It was raining and the clouds showed no signs of departing. "Where am I?" she asked. Then a shadow emerged from the ground.

You are in the depths of your mind. it answered.

"That's right… I was sealed… Who are you?"

I'm an emotion of Yue's lost soul: hate.

"How is that possible?"

Yue had the mirror of his soul shattered and the pieces were placed on opposite ends of the universe that is his mind. Yuelyn then noticed the person she was protecting on the opposite side of the gate. He's so pathetic isn't he?

"What did you say?!"

Look at him; he just stands there in front of his mother's grave, blaming himself for her death. Never moving, never looking away. Yuelyn grabbed onto the barrier that was separating her from her other self. If this continues I'll rule this universe and cast it all into discord and death.

"No, you can't do that!"

Why not, someone has to rule this universe and it sure as hell can't be you! Anyway you have no power, you can't even reach him. But me on the other hand… The specter moved toward Yue, past the barrier and hovered over him. I can influence every decision he makes and do as I please with this body.

"SHUT UP!! Yue isn't like that!!" Yue looked up from his mother's grave. "He won't be ruled by you, he's his own person not one emotion!! He'll feel everything again, he'll learn to trust others again, and he'll learn to love again!!"

You're the one that's being noisy Other specters began to emerge from the shadows. Yuelyn was pinned down to the ground. Nothing you say will change him he's to far gone! This world is mine!

"I'm not done yet! Yue, we all feel loss, but we have to rise from the ashes!! We have to learn to trust others to live again!! We may be immortals, but if we refuse to face our fear we're only pawns to our emotions!! YUE!!!"

Dammit, shut up! The other specters began to inflict pain on Yuelyn. She cried in agony.

No stop it!! Don't take her away from me!! cried Yue.

Light began to shine through the graveyard and light enveloped Yue's body. The barrier was shattered to snow. The dark emotions within Yue began to dissipate. The specters of Yuelyn were cast away, banished from her universe. All of the emotions that were Yue's began to return to the mirror that was him. Yuelyn was still being grasped by the powers of the seal. Yue ran toward it and forced all of it out of his soul. The two were face to face with each other.

Thank you my other self… If it weren't for you I would've never recovered from my own fears. But now it is time for me to return to the outside world.

"Wait, Yue!"

Don't worry I won't lose the resolve to live again...
