Fire, faint screaming, dizziness, blurry images, smoke and a fast heartbeat. Those words best describe Saito's current state. "Saito! Saito!" A voice kept yelling. It's getting annoying.. can it just shut up? Saito thought, shutting her eyes. She quickly re-opened her eyes when she realised she was in the arms of a dear friend. A huge wave of pain shot through her, causing her to yell loudly. "Saito! Don't leave me! Not now.." Her friend sounded quite sad while saying that. He was crying aswell, which was rare for him.

Leave him? Why would I do that? Why does he think I would? After thinking that, she realised what he meant. He pulled her close to his chest, and just hugged her. She wanted to say something so badly. Say something! Anything! Any word is fine! Just say something, dammit! Just. One. Word. And fortunately for her, she did say something.

"Goodbye."

<-- Flashback -->

Saito was a rather quiet girl. She never spoke to anyone after the night she got her "powers." She was ordered to go sell one of her family's treasures to some rich person because her family was poor. On her way to the buyer's house, she was angry that she had to sell it. It was a gift from her father.

After a while of sighing, she arrived at the destination. She weakly knocked on the door and a maid immediately answered, surprising Saito. "You must be miss l/n (last name). Please do come in. All the nessaccary arrangements have been made. I'll take this, while you go speak to the young master." The maid reached for the treasure, and Saito hesitantly gave it to her. She followed to where the maid pointed and walked towards a hallway.

Why do I have to meet someone? What arrangements have been made? And most importantly where the hell am I? Saito realised she had gotten very lost. Uh.. the maid said right door.. no left.. or was it still up ahead? No, it was back.. lost in thought, Saito had no idea about the mysterious figure sneaking up behind her. The figure put their hand on her shoulder, which made her yelp and hit the hand. The person who did that looked quite angry. He grabbed her wrist tightly, and dragged her into a huge bedroom. He shut the door, threw her on the floor and looked down at her. "Why are you in my house? Who let you in?" He said with a cold stare. God he's scary.. she thought before answering "I'm Saito l/n and I was sent here to sell you that treasure." He raised a brow at her answer, and then responded. "So you're the girl I'm supposed to marry. Great."

All Saito could do was stare. The who he's supposed to what now? "I'm sorry, I think there must be some kind of misunderstanding. I'm not supposed to marry anyone. So I'll be leaving now.." "I guess your parents never told you. We have an arranged marriage. I have to marry you." The guy held a hand out to her and helped her up. Arranged marriage is something you cannot simply cancel. If he's talking the truth, she's in big trouble.

"You think I'm lying? Here." He grabs a piece of paper and points to it. "A signed agreement. I agreed to marry you and so did your mother. She basically sold you off to me." Saito just stumbled back and landed on the floor again. On her butt. No way.. she sold me off? To him? For money? No, it must've been more than money. Safety? A big fancy home with guards and maids? Probably. But does that mean he can do anything to me? Does my life belong to him? She was so lost in her thoughts she didn't realise he was calling her.

"Hello? Earth to Saito. Wake up" "Eh- sorry! What's your name?" She asked while rubbing her head slightly and getting up. "Muzan. Muzan Kibutsuji. Come, I have something to show you." Her grabbed her wrist and dragged her out to the garden. He pointed at the sky, so Saito looked up and noticed the different shades of orange and pink swirling around in the sky. Man, that's beautiful.

They actually spent a few months to get to know each other before their marriage. It was a peaceful life. Yeah. For a while, at least.
One day late in the afternoon Saito was in the forest, talking to Karura. A hunter nearby saw the firey bird and ran to a village to tell everyone of the news. It spread for miles, and people everywhere grabbed torches and pitchforks, some grabbed chairs and others shards of broken glass. They grabbed any weapon they could find.

This has officially turned into a witch hunt.

[Author's Note]
Saito is stupid. And there are a lot more mistakes to come.
