"Mommy?! Help me! Help me! mommy?! Those guys are trying to take me! Mommy?!" Four year old Yuzuki, screeched, trying to wiggle her way out of the strangers arms.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I thought I could handle it...I thought...forgive me.." Her sobbing mother collapsed on the ground.
"You traitor!" Yuzuki shouted, while struggling in the brunette's arms.
"Yuka, now." An unfamiliar voice commanded.
"Sleep." She whispered into her ear.
"N-No, please..." Yuzuki fainted into the woman's arms.
Yuka looked serenely at the young girl.
■■■■■■One Year Later■■■■■■
The door to Yuzuki's door opened slowly, a low creak from the hinges alerted the small girl.
"Yuka?" Yuzuki mumbled sitting up in bed. She rubbed her tired eyes, her shoulder length black hair falling out of her loose ponytail.
"Don't. Move." A deep voice commanded.
Her body unwillingly froze up.
"Not like you can anyway~" A chipper voice.
"Is this thing the one boss wants?" A soft hand gripped her cheeks tightly.
"W-What do you want!?" Yuzuki stuttered out.
"Heh, don't worry little kitten, I won't hurt you," The female's hands now held Yuzuki by the throat, her tiny legs dangling in the hair as she struggled for breath, "yet."
"Let her go." Yuka's strong voice commanded the blonde.
"Oh~ and what? You're going to steal my alice?" She taunted.
Yuka scowled, she took a threatening step forward.
"Yuka!" Shiki's strained voice called out from the hall, effectively stopping her.
"Seems we've over stayed our welcome. We'll be on our way now~"
The grip on Yuzuki tightened.
"H-Help! Yuka!" Yuzuki gasped out, reaching for her.
The last thing she saw was Yuka's back as she went to help Shiki.

"Please! Please just kill me, I can't take this anymore!" Her voice was hoarse and she choked on her tears.
"Huh~? You're supposed to be his child and you're this weak?" He kicked her for emphasis.
"With an extraordinary alice such as yours, I am merely trying to help, or rather, guide you in the best direction possible."
"H-Help? How will t-this help me?" It was barely audiable but, her captor could hear it perfectly.
"Oh dear~ Whoever said it would help you?" He sneered.
