"You gave birth to a demon..?" Father's eyes were filled with anger and dread. He lifted Mother up by her wrist and yelled words I won't repeat.
"Honey, please, dont do this! She's only a child!" she cried hysterically.
"I refuse to raise a demon! It's me or her, Mary! Choose!" he was enraged as he reached for my collar and yanking me in front of my mother. Her eyes watered heavily and she shut her eyes and turned away from me.
"I'm sorry Natsuki." Before I knew what was happening, I found myself in front of the door of our house out in the rain clawing at the door.
"Daddy! Daddy, let me back in!" I screamed,but it didnt matter how loud I shouted, no one came out to get me.
My ears began to ring as the sound of sirens blared. Men surrounded me and took me by each of my arms carefully carrying me back into their truck. They were fully covered in armor and pointed guns at me, attached chains to my wrists and ankles and strapped me in a coat that I wasnt able to get out of.
"W-what is this?"I struggled to get out ,"I just want my mommy and daddy...can we go back, please?"
The men chuckled as they responded,"We dont negotiate with demons."
I squinted my eyes and stood up,"Demon...I'm a human, just like you..." I let my eyes meet each of the mens'.
One of the men stood up carrying their gun and butted with it in my stomach,"Shut up!"
"Ack!" My head banged up against the wall of the truck, my stomach ached as I glared at the man.
I can't be a demon, there's no way. What kind of demon cant even attack their enemies...a demon is a evil creature with no feelings....isnt it? How could they mistake me, a human, as a demon...? What have I done that was so wrong?
Hours passed until I felt the tires of the truck shriek as it stopped. One of the men swiftly grabbed my coat and threw me out of their truck doors. I landed on sand, I moved my neck around examining what i could see, where was I?
"Get comfortable, 'cause you're not going to get out of this desert," a man laughed. I let my head rest in the sand, my life is going to end before it even started.
"See ya!" the man called as the truck left hurriedly.
A demon...a demon...could it be possible that they took me on accident? Maybe they'll come back for me and apologize for mistaking me as a demon and take me back home.
'You gave birth to a demon..?'
A burst of pain congested my chest, it made it difficult to breath, the restricted movement from the coat irritated me, i aggravatedly tried to free myself. My eyes felt as if they were about to pop right out my head, my hands shook vigirously and my arms seemed to have a mind of their own, as did my body. My body broke free of the coat. Darkness shrouded my vision and when light finally met my eyes, the truck that had taken me to this place was completely wrecked. I wonder what happened?
I couldnt help but smile as I walked away from the scene, whoever did this to those people, surely knew how to do it.
Two days had passed since that day. I didnt know where I was or where to go, my only goal was to at least make it to a place where I could eat. I had been walking non-stop trying to look for a place to eat, any place. I had finally reached a small town where people lived. My stomach growled painfully, I couldn't walk anymore, I needed rest desperately. I spotted a dark alley, just for now, I need just a little rest....just a little...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A young man of at least 20 walked by carrying a brown paper bag full of food. In his mouth, was a cookie which he had bought just recently. His short black hair draped over his ocean blue eyes, his leg and arm movement was slightly restricted with his khaki brown dress pants and jacket. He struggled to walk because he could barely see with his black hair covering his eyes.
"Darn....it...." he grunted as an apple dropped out of his brown bag.
He attempted to grab it but the sound of heavy breathing caught his attention, he looked over the bag and noticed a small beat up lifeless body lying in a dark alley.
He dropped his bag out of awe.
"Oh....my-"
My eyes shot open as I caught the scent of food. I grabbed the apple that was right there next to me and took a big bite out of it.
"U-uh.....little girl, what are you doing in this place?" the man asked curiously.
I spit the apple in his face and ran away, they came back for revenge! I didnt think they would find me so soon, or at all! I ran away as fast as I could, but it wasnt really all that fast since the man caught me before I had even started running.
"Where are your parents?" he held me in place firmly, as his eyes intensified so did his grip on me.
"L-l-l-l-let me gooo!" I managed to get my arm free and attempted to run away again. He put my over his shoulder and carried me to a hospital.
"Why are we here? I thought you were suppose to kill me!" I started to swing my arms and bang on his back,"J-just let me go!!!"
"Stop it!" he placed me in a chair and examined my face closely. I blushed a little and pushed his face away. He grabbed my wrist and continued to examine.
"Your name?" he asked smiling. He let go of my wrist, he placed a hand on his head and mine.
I grunted,"I-i-it's Natsuki." I turned my head away from him. He laughed,"What's so funny?!"
"Nothing." He turned around and took a clipboard,wrote something on it and turned back around to me,"Well, my name is Kaito Nakano. Nice to meet you."
"Uh...." I grunted and once again turned away.
"Well, at least you can tell me where your parents are." he smiled warmly.
"I-uh....I dont know..." I responded a bit embarrassed,"What is this place?"
"Ouchijuku."
I blinked a few times, "How far is that from Nagamachi...?"
"Um.....it's quite a way...." he smiled nervously.
"Well....I-I'm an orphan..." I tried to keep a serious face, but I was so nervous that he wouldn't take that answer.
"I knew it!" he grinned,"How's about living with me?"
"Eh?! I dont even know you!" I shouted,"Plus, how do I know you'll take care of me?"
"Well, instead of being you dad, how about I'm your brother?"
I looked at him unconvinced.
"Well, do you have anywhere else to go?"
I pouted as I dropped my eyes to the floor. He looked at me a bit confused.
"....Oniisan....when do we go home...?" I asked reluctantly.
He smiled as he grabbed my hand,"We can go now." I blushed a little, can I really entrust this man with my life? I wonder about the consequences to such a hasty decision. My hand tensed up as I thought about the decision I made. If he tries his best I will too. I cant be left alone again. Never again.
"Honey, please, dont do this! She's only a child!" she cried hysterically.
"I refuse to raise a demon! It's me or her, Mary! Choose!" he was enraged as he reached for my collar and yanking me in front of my mother. Her eyes watered heavily and she shut her eyes and turned away from me.
