The Forbidden Fruit

Her Voice Is Now Only A Dream

(Kanji's mother. Let us all have a moment of silence for the deceased. P.S the ARENT isn't mine.)

Kanji's POV

I had a peaceful dream.

A sweet dream.

My mother, my father, and I walked along the beach. The sand in our toes and the cool breeze flowing through my mothers and I hair. I ran ahead laughing and giggling as my father chased me trying to capture me.

My mother laughed as she watched and shook her head. My father and I played in the water and even sprayed my mother with some causing her to chase us.

But for some reason.

The woman who I see as my mother changes. Who is this other stranger? The images become distorted and suddenly I'm all alone. It's dark. Then I hear screaming. I see a woman and man fighting. Dad? Who is he fighting? Why is he fighting her? She kind of... looks like me...

"My dear child remember. Remember who you are."

Dad? No... that's a woman.

"I am so sorry please my love. Protect her, after she is ...... of both our worlds."

"Erase her memory. She will die if she remember any of this. They'll only find her faster."

"She will forget I ever existed Michael. I can't, not her."

"Please ******* we have to protect her. No matter what."

The woman held the child close and kissed her. Whose memories are these? Michael? But that's not dads name right? Maybe he was dad's brother? But he sounds and looks so much like him. The image became distorted again and this time Instead of being away from the scene i was in it.

I was holding Zero's unmoving body in my arms. I touched my face and tears streamed down my face. I looked around and the place I once called home was a bloody barren battlefield. I saw Myrio hugging Mira's body sobbing. What? What's going on-

"You have no one left. The traitor's treachery will go down in history as nothing more than a silly infatuation."

I heard a voice and looked up from Zero at it. But it was blurry. Who...Is that? He dawned heavy arm covered in blood. He walked towards me slowly. For some reason my core felt as if it had been broken. Like I had lost something that was never truly there. The stranger pointed their sword at Zero and aimed for his heart. I tried to protect him by throwing my body over his but they used some sort of power to push me away. I hurriedly sat up only to see him lifting the sword in the air.

no

"p-please..."

No

"I'M BEGGING YOU PLEASE!"

NO

"NOOO!"

He Plunged it deep into Zero's body twisting it with assurance he was dead.

"ZEROO!"

My heart ached more than any of the other wounds on my body. Why did Zero mean so much to me? Why is this happening? Is this the future? What is happening? Who is this person?

Lost in thought and dread this man walked up to me and knelt down caressing my cheek with his thumb. I tore my face away from him and he grabbed it roughly forcing me to look at him. His face was still blurry. I wanted to speak but the next words that left my mouth were not my own.
