+* Tokyo, Japan 1921 *+
"Nii-san!!" Y/n's younger brother calls out, Y/n looks back at him. "Ah, Jirou what is it?" Y/n says turning to her brother with a sweet smile.
He tries to catch his breath before saying, "Okaasan (Mom) needs you to go and get herbs for dinner!" Jirou says, Y/n looks at her younger brother confused. "She's starting dinner already? isn't it a bit early." Y/n says with a soft chuckle following in suit, Jirou shrugs before running back to the house.
Y/n follows after him holding up her kimono trying not to get it dirty, due to the snow. Once she opens the sliding door, she sees her mother cutting up carrots. "Mother your starting dinner early today??" Y/n questions causing her mother to look back at her, "Ah Y/n, yes I am but I'm missing a few ingredients..." Her mother says scratching the nape of her neck. "Could you go into town and get some lettuce?" Y/n's mother asks giving her daughter a bright smile.
"Yea sure!" Y/n cheers grabbing a f/c Hanten, "Please be safe honey." Her mother says in a sweet tone, her words out of genuine concern for her daughter's safety. "I will!" Y/n says with a bright smile before walking out the door and into the snowy path.
+*At the town*+
Y/n was looking around for a shop that sells vegetables. She was walking around for a good 12 minutes, then y/n seen a small little shop that sold fruits and vegetables, she looked at the vegetables for a moment catching her eyes on the lettuce. Y/n walked up to the shop and started to converse.
"Hello sir, may I get some lettuce?" Y/n asks politely to the older male who worked at the shop. "Just one?" He asks grabbing some fresh, cold lettuce. "Yep!" Y/n cheers, "Alright, that'll be $2.50" The worker smiled as Y/n handed over the money. The old man stares at the girl for a moment with a small frown, "Be careful out there girl, the snow is supposed to get heavier during the night." The worker says worried for Y/n. She smiles softly bowing her head, "Thank you but I'll be alright." Y/n reassures the elder, waving as she walked away, heading back toward the snowy path.
+*Once Y/n had returned*+
"Mother, I'm home!" Y/n opens the sliding door to see her mother boiling water, her mother turns her head to see who it is. "Ah, right on time." She smiles grabbing the lettuce from Y/n's hands, Y/n put her Hanten back. A young girl was peeking from around the corner of the hallway, Y/n chuckles lights at the sight of her shy sister. "Hi Yumi." Y/n pats her younger sister's head, Yumi is 8 and is pretty quiet, yet is always by her sister's side, well at least tries to be.
"Could you girls go tell your father, and Jirou that dinner is ready?" Y/n's mother asks politely, Yumi nods quickly turning back to Y/n. "I'll go tell father can you tell Jirou?" Y/n says crouching down to face Yumi, "Mhm.." Yumi says softly walking away to try and find Jirou.
Y/n knocked on the door, "Father, it's me may I come in?" She says loud enough for him to hear, "Yes, of course come in." He says in a weak voice. Y/n opened the sliding door allowing herself in, closing it behind her. A weak frail man, laying on the bed with a cup of water on his side table. "Mother wanted me to tell you dinner is ready." Y/n gives the man a reassuring smile, "Would you like for me to bring it to you?" She questions trying to be considerate. "That would be great, thank you dear..." The man says softly, she smiles planting a gentle kiss on his forehead.
"I'll be back then." Y/n says walking out of the room, she grabs a bowl of the food mother had made. Y/n walks back over and into her father's room, "I'm back!" Y/n sits down the food onto his side table. "Ah, thank you dear." The man says softly, sitting up slowly. Y/n walked toward the door leaving with a small smile waving to her father, closing the door behind her.
Y/n walked back grabbing a bowl of food for herself, she sat down with Jirou and Yumi. "How is Otosan?" Jirou asks before taking a big bite, Y/n looks up at him. "Hes doing fine, it's better than nothing." Y/n says taking a small bite, her appetite slowly fading away.
(Y/n's father was sick with Duchenne muscular dystrophy: This is the most common and severe form, affecting mostly boys. It causes muscle weakness that starts in the legs and pelvis, and later affects the whole body. It can also affect the heart and lungs. Symptoms usually appear before age 6 and may include frequent falls, difficulty walking, learning disabilities and breathing problems. There is no cure. He fell ill as a pre-teen; my mother married and loved him for who he was.)
+*After they ate*+
"Yumi, do you know where mother is?" Y/n asks grabbing her empty bowl, setting it in the sink. "Okaasan is with Papa." Yumi says putting her bowl in the sink as well. Y/n nods putting soap on the bowls, she grabs a washcloth and begins to wash the bowls.
(SLAM)
(CRASH)
(BAM)
Y/n, Yumi, and Jirou's eyes widen. "What was that!?" Jirou shouts, Yumi runs over to the sliding door quickly opening it. Something, or someone had kicked her back slamming Yumi into the wall her head slamming against it. "YUMI!" Jirou yells out running over to the scene he crouches down to get a better look, yet someone had stabbed something into the back of his head.
Y/n looks mortified, frozen in fear she stood there analyzing the scene. She took a step closer to see that someone stabbed their nails through the back of Jirou's skull. (Impossible... that's inhuman!) Y/n thought, she walks over and peeks into the room. An ungodly looking being, devouring both her parents.
"Monster..." Y/n mumbles looking down, the demon looks back at her. "Oh? It seems I've missed one, no problem for me though! I'm incredibly strong unlike a weakling like you." The demon says in a disgusting scratchy voice.
The demon was about to pounce on Y/n, she flinched closing her eyes. Yet once she opened them the demon was decapitated. In the corner of her eye, she sees a decently tall man with white hair and many scars. What, how!? I didn't even hear him... Y/n thought, "You just gonna stand there?" The man asks, an irritated look lingering on his face.
Y/n looked back at Jirou and Yumi, their dead bodies lying there. Y/n's eyes were watery, yet she fought back the tears. "I'm very sorry, I couldn't protect you." Y/n mumbles under her breath, she stands up once more walking over to the man. "Can you help me bury them.." Y/n asks her voice breaking, he takes in a deep breath. "Fine, but if you start crying, I'll kick your ass." He responds in an annoyed manor rolling his eyes, Y/n wanted to smile yet emotionally was incapable too.
+*After they finished burying your very much deceased, fallen, dying, late, asleep, extinct, low, gone family*+
