    It had happened when I was only 5 years old when I decided to play outside.

~Flashback~
After I got permission from mommy and daddy I ran outside with my favorite bouncy ball. It was blue with grey stars on it. While i was playing I tripped and the ball fell out of my hands and rolled over to the humongous tree we have. Mommy says that the tree is really special but I don't know how it can be. Daddy says that it's a cherry blossom tree and says that it brought great things that may be horrible in the beginning yet are so worth it.
I always liked the tree since it calms me and past that is the path that leads straight to ji-chan. I haven't told anyone yet but I meet ji-chan on my birthday. I haven't told anyone yet since he told me not to and to keep it our little secret.
I heard footsteps and saw one of the oldies. He was really mean and momma and papa don't really like him. I think Dark-aniki said that he was one of the elder leaders of the house. Whatever that means. When he stood in front of me, he just gave me a harsh stare. I flinch because everyone in the house gave them to me. He raised his hand only to be stop by papa grabbing his hand and momma yelling at him asking what he was doing. I didn't quite get what was going on except that momma and papa were really mad at the stupid head.
"Lord Draco! Lady Crystal! Do you not see that this thing will be the end to the whole clan!"
"That is enough, Yushin! She is my daughter and I won't allow anyone or anything happen to her as long as I live do you hear me!"
Father's voice was very commanding when he was ordering people when they did something against me. Mother's voice was scary though. Father told me never to make her mad so I never did.
"Yushin-san," said person looked at my mother then froze stiff, " if you ever lay a hand on my daughter again, don't think that I'll forgive for a second time."
The dummy gritted his teeth before smirking than before either mother or father saw he snapped his fingers using the hand that wasn't held. More and more people appeared wearing black clothing. I hid behind the huge tree and peaked over the side of the tree to see what was happening. They were fighting off everyone of them; one by one and everyone of them fell down.
I saw the man who caused this crackle then flat out burst into laughter as if he was happy with what he was doing. I wanted this man to suffer. I wanted to hurt him. I wanted to kill him. After that I heard something tall to me in my head.
'Ah~ little one you suffer so much. It must be hard for you to control yourself around people who hate you to the core hmm~?'
'...'
'Those who have wanted to hurt you.'
Visions of people glaring at me as I walked by and muttering how much they hate me flashed through my mind.
'Who hate you in all your very existence'
Another one happens, this time showing the elders yelling at me, glaring at me, muttering awful things about me.
'And who wish to kill you...'
Appearing before my eyes was every attempt shown of people trying to kill me. Poison, drowning, falling down a rocky hill side, left alone in the forest, chased by wolves, etc.
'Oh little one so innocent of you, I can help...I will be the only friend you need all you have to do is just trust me.'
'Is that all? And you can make all the baddies go away?'
'Yes.'
'Ok, I'll do it.'
'Very good. Now this might hurt a bit.'
'Huh?'
My body felt as if it was burning me to the very core. I didn't even hear anything as the screams covered everything. My left arm felt as if I was being cut by something which made it burn more and more as time went on. I heard the voice from earlier chuckle.
Before everything became clear as day again. I collapsed to my knees, I was trying to catch my breath as I suddenly felt more unsteady than before. I looked at my left arm to see a fox tattoo mark on the forearm.
"What did you do?!"I yelled not expecting anyone to answer.
"Everything comes with a price little one and I have no idea when but your fate is now connected to a fox who you'll meet someday."
    The voice faded out and left leaving me all alone until I remembered my two most important people.
"Momma! Papa!" I stopped to see all crisped bodies except two who were now laying flat on the ground staining the once grey stone a crimson red. I walked over and pushed one "Momma," I then pushed the other, "Papa."
    Neither had responded to my words. I looked at my hands which now stained red as tears cascaded down my cheeks drown onto the cold ground and onto my lap.

"Everything comes with a price little one..."

"AHHHHHHHHH!" I cried out as I figured out what the price I had paid was. I had killed them. I killed both of them. I kept on crying until others showed up.

~Flashback End~

    I looked upon the site which they had been buried. Underneath the cherry blossom tree in which they got married under. The tears were beginning to run dry but they stopped suddenly when I felt someone grab my shoulder.
I looked over my shoulder to see no one their. After a while I got up and left the lone cherry tree. Once again leaving behind the people who paid for my fault.
