(KH/FF)The Darkness Inside

(The Story Of Hiroki)

Hiroki was 3 when he had experienced his father slaughtered infront of him. Growing up with his mother after that happened was tough. His mother became abusive. Everyday that she came from work she'd call Hiroki to either fetch her some water, or make dinner, or to clean the house. If he spilled water on the floor she slapped him across the face. If he dropped the food on the floor, she'd kick him with the heel of her shoes. If he missed a spot while cleaning, it would sometimes result in her getting a knife and stabbing him until he passed out from blood loss. When he'd wake up he would make his way to the bathroom and vlean himself up, then got ready for school. He had trouble hiding the scars his mother made. School for him was no better than at home. Children made fun of him, bullies picked on him, taking away what little food he had, everyone even the teachers looked down at him. Though he wasn't the smartest, he had a big heart. Every night when he was home he would stay in his room and look up at the moon. The moon being the only thing that calms him after a rough day. When his mother one night stabbed herself to death, Hiroki cried the thousands of tears he held back. Her blood coated the living room carpet and the windows. The sight of this pained him so much. He then buried his mother 6 days later. Being alone after that was rough. The memories he had would use its steel claws and shread his heart to bits. Deciding to leave he burned the house, and left.

All through out the world everyone knew of the name Hiroki. Hiroki had become a mastered-self trained bounty hunter. There wasnt anything he couldn't still. But...not only was he a master bounty hunter, be he was also a chick magnet, or womanizer I should say. Any girl that looked at him, would melt from only looking him in the eyes. One day when a strange man gave Hiroki a map of the underworld, he decided to explore it. He always heard of all the treasures that was held under there. He couldn't wait to get his hands on all the riches that was there. After gathering his weapons, food and water he venture off.

When he reached the underworld he couldn't breathe. The air-actually there was no air!!! He held his breath hoping to get what he wanted and then leave. As he walked deeper into the underworld the atmosphere change. Haze was surrounding the area, and it had gotten a lot darker. Hiroki then heard what sounded like....."singing" and pulled his sword. He moved closer to the place where the sound came from. Just when he was about to slice whatever was making the sound, the thing grabbed his armed hand and broke it. Then it quickly made its way behind him. It then kicked the air out of him and before he could get back up and fight, the thing that attacked him knocked his lights out. Before Hiroki fell into darkness he saw the face of a pale skinned girl. When he had awakened he was in a dungeon. He took a short inhalation of air and held it. "You don't have to hold your breath anymore," A voice said. "I changed the atmosphere....you can breath...." Hiroki slowly let go of the air he held in his mouth and took an intake of air. Hiroki and the mysterious voice stayed silent until the voice revealed itself. The voice had walked over to the steel bars to reveal a girl with pale skin and black eyes. She had a very small smile on her face as she put a tray of food on the floor and slid it through the space at the bottom. The tray stopped right at his feet. Hiroki only looked at it, he didn't want to take any chances. "Don't worry....Eat....Its not poison or anything... "After she said that Hiroki really didn't want to eat it. It went on like this for 3 more years. The girl brought him food and Hiroki wouldn't eat and they always sat in silence. "I'm Yami....Also known as Hime Kyoki...." "..........Hiroki...." Him and the girl named Yami started to talk more. They spoke of many things. From colors, animals and to weapons. To them it felt as if they always had something to talk about. With everyday spent with Yami, Hiroki felt himself slowly falling in love with her. However, tragedy struck when her father, the devil, found out just what she was doing alk these years. Its forbiden for a demon to have any type of relationship with a mortal. The devil threatened to kill Hiroki tomorrow. Yami pleaded for him to spare Hiroki's life but that only made it worse. On the night before the execution Yami helped Hiroki escape the underworld and before he crossed the barrier to the mortal world he kissed Yami. That was the last time he ever saw her.
