*****Hatori POV*******
As we walked through the gardens which were wet with the new dew upon them, they reminded me of myself. Calm and collected, strong. But if stomped and while wilting, easily destroyed. I look at Kagura and think, this is wrong Hatori. VERY WRONG. I sigh, louder than I intended. She looks at me puzzled. "What's wrong Hatori?" I look down at my shoes then coldly say, "This is wrong I'm sorry." She looks at me bewildered, tears pooling into her eyes. She turns, but I grab her arm. "Let. Me. Go," She says emotionless. "No," I reply looking into her eyes seeing anger, sadness, frustration, and what looks like to be regret. She turns at me and says on the brink of tears, "You said it wouldn't work so I'm going away, like a normal person does." She then swiftly kicks connecting with my chest; I fall to the ground clutching the wounded area. She then screeches, "HATORI I HATE YOU! YOU COLD HEARTLESS BASTARD!" She started to run and I grabbed her ankle making her fall to the ground, only for a split-second though because within minutes she then proceeds to punch me in the face. Quickly getting up and running before I can recover. Well way to go Hatori that was a real good job. You are supposed to fix problems, not create them. This is your deserved punishment. Live with it you fool. That's not true, I soundly have a flashback and with it being a painful one, I fall unconscious as the horrible dream/memory unfolds in my slumber.
000 "Hatori." "Hatori." A man shifts into a nine year old Hatori's room throwing a plushy of Hatsune Miku onto the dresser, sighing about his son's obsession with the diva. But that beating would be for another day, after all what he is about to do makes him want to beat everything. "HATORI!" He shook the boy from his slumber, dazed looking up. Upon seeing who it was then got an immediate scared appearance. "Yes father?" The man looked at him in disgust. "Come here NOW." As n as he said it the boy sprang up. "You called father?" Hatori said squinting his eyes waiting for the beating.
It didn't come.
"You are about to find out why I beat you whenever I see you." Hatori gulped scared out of his mind, hoping not having to be in the hospital. Again. "As you know our family has the curse of the zodiac, but the seahorse and its entire offspring has a greater consequence almost as bad as the cat." Hatori eyeballs grew so wide he thought they might pop out of his head. How could ANYONE have a consequence ALMOST as bad as the cat? I mean he was banished for Buddha's sake. [A/N I didn't want to say god because it didn't say so in the anime. Plus Buddha's sake isn't a known-phrase 2 points for originality] "You see, the seahorse has the responsibility of erasing its and the other zodiacs mistakes. The mistakes being our secret being discovered. The seahorse must erase the memories of those who find out our secret. The seahorse must also keep and retain all the memories they erase." Hatori couldn't believe what he was hearing the seahorse could have all that power? He wanted to cry losing your memories sounded awful. But he held strong, for in the past his father beat him for crying, for showing weakness. "I have that power and now you will as well. It is a painful thing to learn. If you cry I will beat you."
"Severely."
Hatori braced himself, not knowing just how bad his father meant. Hatori's mother came in. "Challous are you ready to perform the ceremony of mind?" "Yes, Ukita." Challous walked to Hatori and urged him to the floor. Ukita spoke. "Offspring on your knees." "Yes mother."
He got on his knees. "Close your eyes." He closed his eyes. She backed away and said, "You will no longer live with us. You will go to the main house and start using your power your father is growing too old." "But I'm only nine how will I afford a house and food?" "Do not question my authority offspring." She said coldly. As soon as she said it she kicked him in his face making his nose bleed. Offspring. Offspring. That's all she's ever called him. Offspring. She whispered something into Challous's ear, he nodded and she exited the room. That was the last time he saw his mother. Unbeknownst to Hatori after she kicked him, she whispered the words "If you don't put him in the hospital afterwards, I'll let you have your way." To Challous. He agreed. As she exited the room, silent tears slid down her face. Challous walked to his son and said with venom, "You ruined my marriage imagine your wife giving birth 3 months early, not only it being cursed, but the seahorse of all the animals it's the seahorse and your mother and I's love all ended there. Both of us miserable bringing you up." Hatori said nothing as usual he stared at the ground, waiting for the smack.
It came.
Boy did it come. Hard. Left his check swelled and puffed. Then a kick to the groin, a knife in his arm far worse than his usual smacking. Then Challous ordered him on his knees he did so and raised his hand to Hatori's forehead. Hatori shut his eyes tightly waiting. "The knife in your arm was for being obsessed with Hatsune Miku. The groin was for being the seahorse child." Challous closed his eyes and pushed into Hatori's skull a bright light appearing. His hand went into his head and disappeared. He was receiving the powers. Hatori bit his tongue so hard it bled profusely spilling over his mouth onto the floor. He dared not cry. For he knew it could and would hurt far worse than this pain. Pain it was. It ripped through his skull giving him the impression of hitting your head into the wall, a migraine, being burned with acid, and it all getting infected and swelling. Then it was pictures of people dying, losing their loved ones and lovers. Then it all stopped. Challous withdrew his hand and said, "You as of tomorrow morning are no longer my child. If you are not gone by Six o'clock AM I will kill you." He left and that was the last time he ever saw his father. Hatori balled in the corner of the room for 3 hours the only and longest time he cried besides Kanna leaving.
[A/N so? Did you like it? I made it 4 fucking pages long for being so old to update. I'll try to make all the chapters not so little and more detailed. Probably about 1-2 page long chaps.]
