(the italic font is not a flashback. it is there because the sakamaki's are currently children, and it will remain that way until the timeline begins to correspond with the anime)

(Serenity's P.O.V)

"Catch me if you can!"

Ayato runs in front of us, holding some kind of stick in his hands. Laito and I follow close after with the same sticks in our own hands, with Kanato lagging a bit behind.

We all laugh as Ayato nearly trips but quickly rights himself, continuing past the enormous fountain pouring with crystalline water near the front of the mansion.

Kanato stops as his cheeks redden, starting to cry as he balls one hand into a fist and wipes away the tears.

"The bats I just caught got away...." he sobs, cradling Teddy in one arm.

"Don't cry, Kanato." Laito says as we momentarily stop our game, staring at him with pained expressions. "We can catch them again."

"Yeah, stop your sniveling!" Ayato adds proudly, mischief grinning his eyes. "I'll catch 'em for you!"

He turns around and starts running towards the direction of the bats. Laito grabs my hand but I shake my head and he tilts his head at me in confusion.

"I wanna go cheer Kanato up," I say, smiling slightly. He raises his eyebrows in surprise but releases my hand and grins.

"Whatever you say, Ren-chan."

They begin to run off as I turn to Kanato, running up to him and smearing the tears off his face. "Don't cry, please. I promise-"

"Ayato?" I stop, and Kanato freezes when I turn and see that Laito and Ayato had stopped playing a few yards away from us, looking up at the woman who had called his name.

Mother.

Mother is as pale skinned as the rest of us with long, curled locks of purple hair that reach far past her waist. A beautiful black and white sleeveless flowing dress adorns her slender figure, with a white rose decorated in the top right corner of the dress.

"Is this where you've been?" Her voice turns sharp, authoritive. Green eyes hardening. She doesn't wait for Ayato to respond and instead says, "Now come along with me."

I turn completely around as she says this, my own body shielding Kanato's from the sight that I know may not end well. But I realize I can't protect him from everything as he peers past my shoulder and looks on emotionlessly.

I have to do something.

I grab Kanato's hand and pull him on front of me so he faces me, whispering lowly, "Go off with Laito, okay?" He nods once and doesn't question it, running towards Laito who gives me a final glance and runs off.
