Hello readers! It's me again. Un and I want to thank you for reading my story so far and for the one review I got. This is the actual first chapter! Yay! Woot woot!

Of now the story from now on is six years after Rei was kidnapped. Un. She's now 15, and if you can't do the math, she was 9 in the prologue. And there is some bad language in this chapter, un.

The inspiration for this chapter is Forgiven by Within Temptation

~~~Story time!! ~~~

"Rei get your lazy ass up!" Kien shouted from beyond her bedroom door. Rei yawned and threw her hand towards his voice "It's to early for chores!" She shouted rolling back over to face the tiny window by her twin sized bed. She could hear Kien screeching and stomping around at the door and decided it'd be best to just get up before he broke down the door and made her fix it...again. She twirled out of the bed and to the door gracefully. "Good morning~!" She sang happily into Kiens face, which only made him angrier "It's almost noon! And you're just now getting up!" A scowl set in on his face. The years she'd spent with him were apparent on his face. He was only twenty eight years old yet he appeared to be in his forties. He wasn't ugly by any means, not to her at least, he was married once upon a time but being in the village's army didn't help their relationship and she left. "So what do I have to do today?" Rei asked leaning against the door frame staring at him with mild amusement. He scoffed and pointed to a basket sitting on a table by the hut's exit.

"This is demeaning." Rei muttered to herself as she made her way through the dirt roads of the village. "Oh Rei-chan!" One of the village boys called at her, she bit her lower lip and forced a smile "Watch out for demons!" The boy broke out laughing. It had been like that since she'd arrived at the village. Everyone of the people there insulted her and her father. She knew Kien wasn't really her father but she like to think of him as family since he was the one to save her from the monster that stole her from her real family. She was a dog demon, full blood at that, but still Kien insisted she live with him in a human village.

She reached a clearing about a mile from the village and turned her mind to her task. "Gather berries he says!" Rei tossed the basket away and sat down by edge of the river. She stared at the river as it rushed by. She watched the wave smash against the rocks in the river for several minutes before she got up and retrieved the basket. "I wonder..." Rei began to pick the small red berries from a nearby bush. "Why don't I remember a monster..." She bit her lower lip and thought deeply but still nothing surfaced. After about a half hour she was humming to herself and filling up the remaining space of the basket.

Rei sang aloud as she danced down the path back home. If Kien could see her she knew he'd whack her in the back of the head for being such a child. The closer she got to home the more she got the feeling something was wrong. The wind picked up and blew her silver-blue hair into her eyes she pushed her hair away and began to jog down the path.

Her fears were confirmed when she saw her village in the distance. Flame engulfed the charred remains of the houses she knew so well. Several villagers made their way from the flames and stumbled down the path. Rei almost let a sigh of relief that some people were alive. But then she saw the swarm of bugs that were rapidly approaching the crowd heading towards her. "Hold on! Go back!" She screamed as she threw the berries down and raced towards them as fast as she could. "Go back!" The swarm had already surrounded the survivors and began to overcome them in numbers. Rei lost her footing and slid down the sloped path. "Go back!" She cried to the few villagers that weren't flopping on the ground like fish. By the time she actually got to the base of the village there were no survivors and she knew Kien had unmistakeably met the same fate. She let out a screech and swatted the insects with her claws. Even though she'd never had any training she still managed to kill the oddly colored wasps. She fell to her knees and gingerly placed a villagers head in her lap. "Who did this?" She questioned strictly, the villager didn't respond, she shook the villager lightly and repeated herself. "Did Kien get out?" The villager turned her weak gaze to Rei's and shook her head before it fell limp in Rei's lap. Rei felt tears welling up in her eyes "Damn it!" She screamed pushing the villager away and slamming her fist in the ground. She heard a noise in front of her and instinctively turned to see what it was. She tensed immediately and could feel a growl coming from her throat. Standing in front of her was a demon. A demon with long silver hair and odd markings on his face. "You did this!" She bellowed lunging at him.
