Prologue

The weather of the day was nice according to the blue sky and the sun that kindly shone, brightened and heated the earth below it. Despite the hot weather, the street was full with humans walking, running, talking and basically doing their respective businesses or activities - especially since it was lunch time. Every soul was rushing to fill their respective stomachs.

Among this sea of humans, there was a particular young woman who was running madly – she bumped every passerby that she passed and did not bother to apologize – as if her life depended on it. Her 3 inches high heels produced a loud thud for every step she took. People who watch this scene only shook their heads and muttered ‘crazy’. But when they looked closely, her face was full of worries, fears and panics.

A loud ring successfully silenced the noisy and crowded restaurant. As in reflex action, every eye inside the restaurant turned toward the source. Immediately, the owner of the phone apologized and excused herself into the toilet.

“Hello. Matsuo Izumi speaking,” she said as she pressed the ‘answer’ button on her hand phone. Her calm face turned into a deep frown when she was greeted by a faint sound of crying in the background.

“Matsuo-san-” the other line said, “your son-“

Sweats trickled down her forehead and her feet were throbbing – thanks to the 3 inches high heels. What kind of person invented these things that make women suffered? That was her usual complaints but at the moment, she was too anxious to feel the pain. She ran into a kindergarten and headed straight toward a green door with the label “PRINCIPAL”.

Out of anxious, she turned the door knob and opened the door harshly than necessary. There, she saw a boy sitting on the seat provided on the corner of the room. He was staring at the floor. His hair and shirt were messy and his jacket and bag was on the chair beside him. Next to him was a crying boy – same condition as the first boy – only to be comforted by a middle aged woman who she assumed was his mother. The woman then was glaring at the first boy.

“Kyuu,” Izumi cried and ran toward the first boy. Kyuu looked up at her only a second then lowered his head again. Her heart broke to pieces when she saw his bruised face. She squatted in front of her son and caressed his swollen cheeks. Kyuu refused to look at his mom and kept his head low.

“Matsuo-san-” The principal began but was interrupted by a loud cold voice.

“You are his mother?” The woman snickered and looked at Izumi from head to toe disgustedly “Like mother like son. Wild. No wonder he doesn’t have a father. I bet she doesn’t even know which one was the father,” she muttered under the breath but loud enough for her to hear.

Izumi bit her lower lip to control her boiling blood. She was used to those words since she heard them frequently since 5 years ago. It was nothing new. People will automatically attacked her with such words when they knew that she was a single mother of a 5 year-old-boy at the aged of 26.

“We fou-” the principal once again began but was interrupted by the woman.

“Your son beat my son. Is that how you teach him?” the woman said with an accused tone.

Izumi was now fuming. She stood up and faced the woman to snap at her but dropped that intention and instead she inhaled deeply to keep her sanity because losing her temper won’t solve this problem and it would be very immature of her. “I apologize for what my son did to your son madam.” She said politely – forcefully – and bow her head. “But I believe there must be a reason for that”.

“The reason is obvious. He has no father and-” she stopped her speech when Kyuu suddenly jumped from his seat and ran out from the office.

“KYUU!!” Izumi shouted. She grabbed her son’s bag and jacket and bowed to the principal before she ran after her son - didn't missed the sneers from the middle-aged woman. “KYUU!!” his small feet made him impossible to run any faster which enable Izumi to catch him up. She grabbed her son’s hand to stop him from running. She kneeled down and turned her son to face her. “Baby~” for the umpteenth time that day, her heart broke. Kyuu was crying.

“What they said is true, right mom?” he began between sobs “I don’t have daddy. The photo is not my daddy. He is a singer. That is why he never comes back. Mama is a liar! I hate mama!!!” with that, he crouched on the floor crying his heart out. Slowly, tears streamed down Izumi’s cheeks as she hugged her son.

Just to..

Prologue : New life

Author: Yuki

4 years ago, Saudi Arabia

The sirens from the ambulance and the patrol car sang in the air. The people around the area were curious as they came to see what was happening. They were crowding around the scene, talking to each other about what had happened.

Inside the circular crowded people, the ambulance workers were tending a badly injured girl and a man. The girl had injured her head and her right leg was fractured. The man had only bruises on his arm. His look was in regret as he stared at the fragile unconscious girl in front of him.

At the police station

The look on the officer’s face was as serious as the yakuza’s boss. His fingers were dancing on the table giving the sound of wood that were knocked. “I was at the restaurant when the accident happened and my seat was just beside the transparent window,” a guy who witnessed the accident told him in anxiety as he looked at the fierce looking officer in front of him. “The girl was walking and then from nowhere, she was struck by the falling man and she really looked like she hit her head too hard on the nearby street lamp.”

“I still haven’t got the identity of the girl. She did not bring anything with her even her handbag is not at the accident area,” the cop said in despair. “The man admitted that he was about to go on suicide however his attempt failed as he endangered a girl instead of himself,” the cop explained again. “His name is Fatah Al-Hayat, the heir of the Antique Moon Winkel Company. I don’t understand why the rich people want to suicide… they are considered as the happiest creature on earth.”

At the hospital

“I’m sorry, Mr. Hayat. Her left brain is damaged. I cannot guarantee that she’ll remember anything from her past. The left brain contain many information and memory and I’m afraid that I can’t do much about this,” the specialist doctor said intently in Arabic language. He was wearing a pair of big round glasses and white lab coat. The doctor and the man who was standing in front of the ward were gazing through the E.R. as the beeping sound of the oscilloscope travelled through the air. The doctor scanned the man in front of him, seeing the regret in light hazel eyes.

“This is all my faults. I couldn’t think straight back then… oh, God. Now I was about to kill another girl…” the man said regretfully. "I shouldn't follow my heart...", he whispered as he shook his head. "Will you excuse me, doc? I really want to see her condition," he turned to look at the doctor and tried to give a smile but failed. He walked trough the E.R. door and saw the fragile looking girl. He wondered why did it take so long for the girl to wake up from the silent slumber but then he realised that the girl was fighting between life and death. Her head was bandaged and her right leg was hang with a white clothe. At first glance, people definitely would say that she really is in a bad condition.

Hayat stared at her with an empty expression. He was blaming himself for what happened. He waited there for hours, days and weeks until that day when she finally open her eyes from her miserable dreams.

Present day

"Shika, don't walk on that bricks... you might fall, you know..," Hayat expressed as he awas very worried if something happened to his beloved sister. He did not want anything or even a piece of paper to ever cut his precious sister. 

Yushika giggled to the way Hayat treating her. He still treat her like a child. "Brother, need not worry, you should stop treating me like a child... we should've fun! Don't give me that funny look," she chuckled. Yushika then jumped from the bricks and ran around the park as if she was a bird that can fly freely in the sky. For her, it was not easy to spend some time with her brother as he was always busy with his work especially for the past few months. She was really grateful to have a kind-hearted brother like Hayat because whenever she got a fever, Hayat became really worried and tend to take a day or two off so that he can take care of her. 

For Hayat, Yushika was like a light for him to build a new beginning, the colour to his dull life. He'd realised how precious Yushika is to him for the past few years after the incident. He had once told her how guilty he felt about what had happened but instead the fragile looking girl only asked if she could be his sister so that he won't feel guilty and lonely anymore. 

Hayat caught Yushika's hand and held it gently, "Come, let's grab something to eat... I'm famished.." Hayat uttered as he dragged Yushika to the nearest cafe. He knew that his so called sister will listen to him. It was that day when she finally open her lids revealing her dark brown iris after a few weeks of slumber, Hayat cried in front of her. Though that time she was still in a bad shape, she just knew what to say to him and warmed his heart with her gentle smile. That day too, he told her why he decided to commit suicide. Since that day, Yushika depended on Hayat for living.

Chapter 1 is coming soon... ;)

Prologue:

She walked down the hill and waited for her twin brother to reach for her. She glanced at her watch for the nth time, though still early. She didn’t suspect him to come late either. What was taking him so long? She tapped her feet and a soft breeze blew by, making the cherry blossom trees by the streets swaying wonderfully. Its petals fell down on the quiet streets of the town. It looked as if it came out from a nice movie. She smiled seeing the petals as it had the same name she does.

Down by the corner, a boy in his early 17 years old was running towards her way. She raised an eyebrow and found something following behind him. It looked as if he was chased by a cat. The cat looked angry and was ready to bit him at any moment. He ran as fast as he could, saving his life from the cat that followed him endlessly.

“Jun, you’re—” his twin sister was about to scold him when he grabbed her along the way.

“Why are we running?” asked the sister, being dragged by him.

“Shut up and I’ll explain once we arrive at school!”

A guy wearing a blue colored uniform was walking down the streets when suddenly; he was dragged down in to the dark alley to the right side of the building. He didn’t budge until he was released, particularly harsh. A number of people gathered around him with different weapons in each one of them. They didn’t look happy to see him.

The leader, who he assumed with afro dark hair came out from the dark side and smiled maniacally, “attack!”

The command made the others started to attack him from every direction. He had nowhere to escape as he was circled in the middle. The guy with blue uniform just smirked and released his bag that he held over his shoulder. Initially, he punched with his left fist on to a guy with a baseball bat and knocked him out immediately. Next, he gave a round of kicks on each of their heads with the support of the guy he punched earlier.

He smiled satisfactory once he had beaten almost everyone. Half of them were knocked out cold, lying unconsciously while the others cowardly escaped, leaving the guy, standing there alone. The guy picked up his bag, brushed off the dirt from his shirt, spitting the aching corner of his mouth.

A group of girls were lining up by the streets, squealing like madness. They had gifts or flowers on their hands. It seemed like they were waiting for someone’s arrival. The girls were obviously blocking the other students’ entry. Soon to be told, a limo made way through the crowd. The girls squealed more and more seeing the limo.

 Inside the limo, a guy sat there calmly. He waved at his fan girls from the tinted black window. He had on his orange colored uniform. He smiled wonderfully as he got out from the limo with the help of his driver who had quickly struggled its way through the crowd. More girls crowded around him, throwing presents and gifts. He received them happily and thanked them. The fan girls squealed with awe.

“Jaa”, he saluted, making the girls fainted.

“Yo!” the guy greeted to the dark blue haired guy who he noticed him entering through the large double gates. He patted lightly at the guy’s back in a cheerful manner.

“Hn”, was the dark blue haired guy’s response. He didn’t look annoyed but somewhat discontent.

“You shouldn’t be ignoring me!” the guy was pissed off. It seemed like he didn’t like being ignored.

Both of the guys continued walking until they reached in front of another massive gate. Over the gate was a huge building in a hexagon shape with its walls painted in cream. It doesn’t look like any ordinary school plus the students attending the school was wearing variety colors of uniform.

“Well, it’s that time of the year, eh?” said the guy, grinning like an idiot. He had placed his arm over the dark blue hair guy’s shoulder.

The dark haired blue guy simply nodded, releasing his arm as he entered first before him.

“Hey, wait!” yelled the guy, catching up with his fellow friend.

The alarm clock on the desk tried desperately to wake the sleepy head lying on the bed. It rang loudly and noisily near the person’s ear. The person pulled out the alarm clock from the desk and snuggled it inside her blanket completely switching of the ringing. After five minutes, another alarm broke up with its desperate attempt on waking her up. Just like earlier, she pulled it in to her blanket and dozed away.

Another five minutes later, another alarm beeped loudly. She tried to get a hold of the alarm but felt it was not on her desk beside her bed. She pulled her blanket away and scanned the room with her sleepy eyes to hear where the sound was coming from. She groaned as she found her alarm on her wardrobe.

“Fine, I’m wide awake!” she stood groggily from her bed, cursing all the three alarms.

She had woken up extra early for this upcoming event though nervous all of a sudden, realizing what would happen today. She fidgeted with her fingers as more people passed by. Another announcement was made and that made her stood up, walking rigidly near the platform. She pulled her suitcase with much force. Thinking absentmindedly, she should have packed some of the leftovers.

Shaking the idea aside, the train stopped in front of her. Quickly, she jumped on to the train before more people entered. It would her last time to see that side of the world, she thought again. It actually surprised her to receive such invitation from the most prestigious school of the country. She didn’t even register for such school let alone her family. But her family supported her otherwise. She was about to reject the invitation since she didn’t have that much money to pay for the school funds. A small piece of letter slipped through and it said she had full scholarship to attend the school. Sighing, it seemed she had no other choice but to attend.

“Dokuro-sama”, the butler called.

“Hai!” she replied much to her seriousness. She eyed her father at the corner of her amethyst eyes. She hoped that her father would say something even a word if he must before she went to school.

“Dokuro-sama”, the butler called again.

The girl looked down, excused herself from the large dining table. She picked her schoolbag by the floor and left with a serious face. For once, she hoped to hear a pleasant word from her father. She hungered for his fatherly love. Since her mother died, everything inside the house seemed less ‘cheerful’ as she liked to say.

Taking a last glance at her father, she said in her high tone, “I’ll be leaving for school.”

A lady with skinny long legs wearing a blue coat and a middle-length skirt entered the wide room. The man standing in the middle of the room turned and grinned at the lady. He adjusted his black leather coat slightly. The room filled with the scent of citrus fruits. The lady stopped in front of him and bowed politely.

“Did you called me, kyuudaime?” she said. Her voice was shaky but she still managed to speak confidently.

“Yes. Come with me”, said the man.

The lady followed him until he halted in front of the large window. The man smiled at what he was seeing. Students in different kind of colored uniforms were entering the school. He began to speak again without facing the lady.

“This year, more young flowers are here to study. We must do our best to grow them well until once they bloom.”

“I-I do not understand, sir”, the lady had a confused look.

“Soon you will understand it, Minami. Soon. Now, let us meet our new generation.”

Prologue: Amethyst

Prologue: Angel’s Apocalypse

In a faraway place, namely ‘Haven’, where all the angels lived was in chaos. The devils and the angels were fighting each other. A young man with blond hair, porcelain skin and a pair of cold, merciless blood-colored eyes made his way calmly towards the main room of the palace. Any obstacle such as corpses and blood on his way was swept clean by an invisible hand. He let out a vampire-like smile as he was right in front of the main door.

The two angel guardians that guarded the door walked towards him. “Excuse me, sir—” one of the angels began politely. The young man ignored him and clapped his hands together. All of a sudden, the door exploded, together with the two over polite guardians. It was like killing two birds with a stone.

“This is not the time for being polite”, the young man thought and chuckled at the sight of blood-stained angels’ feathers; the remains of the two angel guardians. In the room, there was a large desk and a white-feathery chair where a young boy was currently sitting on. The boy had a white hair, pale face and—well everything about him was pure white except his eyes which shone like the sun itself.

“Scarlet, what are you doing here?” the boy asked, sorting the pile of papers on his desk. His voice was calm and sing-song like; listening to his voice will make anyone regret their bad-doings, anyone but not Scarlet.

“It’s not nice to see you here. I’ll take the throne, kid”, Scarlet said in a voice as cold and merciless as mid-winter season. He stretched out his hand towards Emerald, the boy and in the blink of an eye, a trident materialized. He spun the trident skillfully and lunged towards Emerald.

###

“Miss Cupid! H-his Majesty…He…He…” stammered a maid angel who was clutching her injured arm.

“What happened to onii-chan? Did he sleep on the desk again?” Cupid asked without turning as she decorated her homemade cupcakes.

Cupid is a love-angel. She was a rare breed as her parents and brother were war-angels. Just when does ‘love’ and ‘war’ were in the same equation?

“Miss Cupid…Please—” the maid collapsed to the floor with a dull thud.

“Yay! Cupid cupcakes are ready to be served!” Cupid said cheerfully and turned to look at her maid. What she saw made her cupcakes that she was holding fell to the floor.

“Miss Aloeda!! Miss—” Cupid stopped as she saw blood was coming out profusely from the maid’s arm. Cupid sat beside Aloeda’s body and checked her pulse. Dead.

###

“Onii-chan!!!” Cupid screamed as she ran into her brother’s room without knocking the door. Not that there was a door to begin with. Remember the explosion? Good.

At the far left end of the room, Scarlet sprawled on the floor, clearly fainted but there was not even a scratch on his body. Whereas, on the other side of the room, Cupid’s brother or the so-called majesty was barely standing as he leaned on his crystal-like staff. Emerald smiled at the sight of the bedraggled young sister.

“You look horrible”, Emerald commented while pointing at Cupid. Cupid stared at him in disbelief.

“Onii-chan! That’s—” before Cupid could counter attack her brother’s comment, Emerald lost his balance and ended up crashing on to the marble floor. Blood oozing out of his mouth as he clutched the deep gash on his stomach.

Cupid ran towards him and in the last few centimeters, she crawled her way towards him desperately, she barely had the energy to stand. “Onii-chan…onii-chan…” she whispered, fearing her one and only brother is dead. As she neared her brother’s body, she felt a lump in her throat at the sight of the deep gash on her brother’s stomach. She could even see the internal organs there, not a pretty sight indeed. She reached out her hand shakily to brush off her brother’s long bangs that was covering his eyes.

“Peekaboo”, her brother mouthed as he appeared his eyes suddenly. Cupid jerked her hand and covered her mouth. Emerald sat up slowly and carefully, laughing softly.

“Onii-chan! You made me worried!”

“Ne, cupid. Look at my stomach…I guess I can’t eat your cupcakes from now on”, Emerald said with a small grin pasted on a pale, blood-stained face. his eyes showed deep regret and sadness.

“Onii-chan, your injury—” before Cupid could finished her sentence, Emerald held her hands tight, as tight as a bear-to-death person would hold.

“Cupid, Scarlet is going to wake up in any second—” Emerald began and as if on cue, Scarlet groaned. Emerald glanced at Scarlet and for the first time in Cupid’s life, she could see panic and horror on her brother’s face.

“I don’t have much time now. Right. Cupid, this is the last mission the Majesty will give you”, he continued.

Cupid gulped and nodded weakly. If her brother address himself as Majesty, then this must be an extremely important mission.

“Bring all the chosen species from Earth to here, Haven. Take these throne and seek help from them”, with that Emerald gave his sister, Cupid, the throne in the form of a sun and a moon as a ping-pong ball.

“With these, you are now the Angels society’s Majesty. Never give this throne to the Devils. Farewell, Majesty Cupid”, said Emerald and embraced Cupid.

All of a sudden, Cupid was engulfed in a bright light. “Wha—onii-chan…onii-chan!!” with the light, Cupid was transported to Earth, where she would begin her journey to find the ones that were willing to help her brother and the Angel Society itself.

Chapter One

“Why do you ask, Kaoru? I’m really tired, boys. I had a tough day earlier. Please go to bed”, Sakura murmured softly. She pulled the covers more until her ears, sleeping by her side and placing her left arm out to the twins.

“Ok. Goodnight, mom”, both chorused with a tint of disappointment in their tone.

“Goodnight you two”, Sakura replied softly. She bit her lower lips. How long was she going to avoid the question? Were the twins old enough to know the truth? All she had given about their father was that he left them a very long time ago.

She didn’t want to think too much of it and drifted off to sleep. For tomorrow will be a very busy day, she thought.

XOXO

She arrived in her baby blue gown which was long enough to cover her tanned legs and high heels. Her hair was left untied, just below her chest. She had her mask covering half of her face. Slowly and steadily, she descended down the stairs and went over to where the punches were. She felt intimidated by the ballroom and the people dancing down at the floor. She tried to smile but couldn’t; thinking about her company’s fate.

She had to find a way somehow to manage the company’s finance or not it would close down and all her father’s precious hard work were gone to waste. She didn’t want that to happen of course.

She felt a light tap by her left shoulder. She turned to see a man with a black mask covering half his face. His lips curved to a smile. He took her empty hand and brought her to the dance floor.

“You need a dance. Lighten up, will you?” he smiled again. She was dumbfounded by his reaction but obeyed anyway.

He danced wonderfully. He led her with such graceful steps. She had to admit, from the way he danced, he must be a very important man. She looked up to his eyes. He had such amazing amber coloured eyes. His grasp was steady as he pulled her even further towards him.

“W-who are you?” she asked bravely.

“I thought we weren’t supposed to tell our identity once the party’s over”, he gazed down at her emeralds.

“Oh, I forgot”, she blushed immediately.

“You have really nice eyes”, he commented. “I like it.”

“You have nice eyes as well”, she repeated hoping it didn’t sound stupid.

He chuckled, “Really? And I thought people despise me because of my eyes. Aren’t you scared?”

“Why should I? I mean, you look like a nice person to me”, she blurted honestly earning him another chuckle.

“I see. You’re an interesting woman”, he let go off of her hands and bowed. “I must leave. I must say, I enjoyed dancing with you. The other women were older than me. It’s nice to see someone around my age.”

“Is that supposed to be a compliment?” She cocked one eyebrow.

“Maybe.”

“I see.”

He left her standing in the middle of the ballroom. She stared at his back until he disappeared in to the crowd. What an unusual man, she thought. Two men in black suit approached her. They signalled her to come with them. She didn’t object their command and followed them to a dark corridor by the stairs.

 “You owe us a huge sum of money, Furukawa-san. When will you be able to pay your debt”, asked one of the men.

“I-I will. Please give me some more time. I promise to pay you”, she stuttered, sinking down into her own dress.

“That’s what they all say. You know your family and friends are on the line. If you don’t pay, their lives will be dead.”

“Please, don’t harm them!” she begged, warm tears streaming down her face.

“I told you. The boss wants it now—”

“How much does she owes you?” the voice came out suddenly from the corridors end. He walked until his face was clearly seen. Sakura blinked her eyes. It was the man earlier who danced with her.

He took off his mask, revealing a very handsome face, dark chestnut colored hair and those mesmerizing amber eyes. It was probably her most favourite feature of him. The two men turned their heads to see the man. They began to tremble knowing who the man was.

“How much she owes you?” he repeated.

“Half a billion.”

The man took out his cheque book from his pocket and scribbled something onto it. He tore it, handing it to the two men, “I think it’s more than enough.”

“T-this-is—”

“Your queue now is to leave.”

Both of them disappeared from the man and Sakura’s sight. Sakura sunk down to her knees. Now, she was in debt to this guy. The endless rotation that she might not break through continued even more. Fresh warm tears streamed down her cheeks. The man kneeled down at eye level. He placed a hand beside her and leaned closer to her. His warm breaths tickled her until their lips met. He had planted a kiss on her soft lips.

She pushed him away from her, “I-I—thanks for helping me.”

He smiled, “You needed help. That’s from what I’ve been observing you from the dance earlier.”

“You knew?” she stared at him now, “I pay you as soon as I can—”

“I don’t need you to repay it. You have something what I want.”

“What is it that you want? I—I’ll do anything!” she said in eagerness.

“Produce me an heir.”

XOXO

“Mom, wake up!” Kaoru shook her mother wildly.

“I’m up! I’m up!” Sakura rubbed her eyes. The dream, she didn’t expect that to happen. She was trying to forget everything in the past. Why was he there? Her brows needed together, was it a sign? But it couldn’t be, he was long gone with her.

She noticed her other son was missing, “Where’s Hikaru?”

“Kaoru! Help me with this!” complained Hikaru from the door. He had a tray of breakfast in his hand. Kaoru jumped off the bed and helped his brother by taking the other side of the tray.

Sakura chuckled, “you two sure know how to make a mother happy.”

The twins placed the tray onto the table near the sofas. Both of them rushed towards their mother and ushered her to come and eat. She smiled at the pair, slipping in to her slippers. She glanced at the tray where there were a bowl of cereal, a plate of sandwiches, a carton of milk and an empty glass.

“Did you guys made all this?” Sakura was in awe.

“Yup”, both nodded together.

“Let’s see how it tastes”, Sakura began picking up one of the sandwich.

She sensed the pair watching her as she ate. Smiling at them, she gave each of them a sandwiches and their mouth curved into a wide smile.

XOXO
