Chapter 5, page 1.5

   THERE WERE ALWAYS memories [name] kept in the back of her head to keep herself moving forward. the people that's been by her side since the beginning is the only thing keep her from giving up.

  flashback

  "you want to start over for me?" the pale man with a black shoulder length hair says, staring at the toddler with a small grin on his face. his kind purple eyes were glistening as the sun shined down on them both.

   [name] leaned her head back, faking her frustration to the man which caused him to chuckle wholeheartedly. "not.. really." she says in her broken japanese. she was still learning the new language and was learning fast for her age, even if it was short answers, he was glad she was picking up quickly.

   "come on, sit down criss cross. focus on your breathing." he pat the space across from him with a gentle tap of his hand. he found it amusing how the small child thought she could follow him around like a lost puppy and not train with him.

   the little girl picked up the words 'sit down' and 'focus on breathing' before nodding her head, plopping back down on the healthy green grass. the air blew across their faces causing their faces to relax, it was very warm and the sun beamed brightly down on them.

   "remember," ubuyashiki started, slowly breathing in through his nose before letting the air release from his mouth. "don't hold so much in your chest.." he says, opening one of his eyes to see the (skin shade) girl copying his breathing with her eyes closed tightly. "and relax, [name]." he chuckled.

   "relax your stomach. this is similar to soft belly breathing."

   [name] made her body completely comfortable. her stomach becoming untensed as her ears picked the breathing pace he was going which was pleasant for the both of them.

   the small child has been staying with him going on 2 years now. after her brother, yin, gave her to the man to take care of her. yin didn't want to leave his sister, but once he mentioned the name of his father to ubuyashiki, the pale man gladly took her in to take care of. [name]'s father, roman [last name], was a very important man when to him.

   ubuyashiki and roman grew up in the same village, always doing everything together despite ubuyashiki being weak for a child his age. roman made sure to include him in everything, help him with anything, and loved him as if he was his own brother. the pale man always thought of ways to pay him back. yin giving him roman's only daughter, [name], to take care of was a favor he was happily doing.

   the little girl reminded him of her father in many ways. the only difference was, she had trouble talking to others while roman was a chatterbox and could speak to anyone as if they've been friends for years. even when he'd get treated unfairly because of his skin color that made him stand out, it didn't discourage him.

   as ubuyashiki kept one eye open, he saw [name] shiver, a cloud of cold air blowing out of her mouth. he frowned at the sight. how badly he wanted to inform the girl about her true identity and the power she has stored inside her little body.

   it was too early though.

   he planned on telling her when she was old enough. he didn't know when old enough was and it worried him.

   ubuyashiki knew his best friend, roman, took the risk and fell in love with the daughter of yuki - onna. a snow woman who lived in snowy areas. people thought she was fictional, using stories of her to scare little children during cold winter nights so they'll come inside early. those scary stories were the complete opposite of she was really like.

   yuki - onna was an easily scared and tense woman. she was very pale, almost white and had long pitch black hair that stopped to her knees. she had the ability to hover over snow as to not leave foot prints and snow powers that she only used when she was threatened. people never saw her though, as she turned into mist once she saw humans who only wanted to harm her or use her to study on.

   she never spoke to others. only to her husband who was very patient with her. he loved her .. going as far to murder her parents and those around her.

   you could say he was obsessed.

   and [name] is very similar to yuki - onna.

   "kagaya.. you aren't doing the breathing." the toddler mumbled, snapping him from out of his trance. "apologies," his hand reached out, gently patting the messy mop of (hair color) curls on top of her head. "are you hungry?"

   the girl stared at him with dotted eyes. "no." he squinted at her for a second, opening his mouth to complain but stopped once he heard the sound of her stomach growling as if it was angry. "your tummy says otherwise.." he chuckled, swiftly standing up from his spot, holding out his soft hand for her to take.

   "i'll make your favorite."
