A Warm Compassion | A Hiei Love Story

Prologue

Demon World, a land filled with the most powerful apparitions whoever lived in the ancient land. There resides the four Kings of demon world: Raizen, Mukuro, Yomi and Namiyo. Among one of the four kings, Namiyo had a daughter, and named her Wakumi. Named after the beautiful spring of water.

Her powers were equal against her father and had become one of the most powerful water apparition known to demon world. Her name became legend, setting fear into the eyes of the weakest of demons in who live. Despite of her power and strength, she was unlike other demons who strive to kills just for satisfaction, but she kills for justice to however harms the innocent of demons. Especially the female ones.

Wakumi dedicated her life to serve and protect of what is right, despite the friendly rivalry  with one of the other demon lords, Mukuro. They both would have some friendly fights and would sometimes talk about the improvement of their territories.

But it was when Wakumi's careless actions, made the biggest mistake of her life. When she went to the living world, she met a human. She tried attacking him but the human didn't show any fear in his eyes, like he was ready to die. Through this, Wakumi mated with him and immediately regretted it, because when she returned to demon world a few weeks later, she became pregnant with a half human child in her.

When Namiyo heard this, Wakumi was casted out of her own territory. The council of her father didn't want a half breed human in their hands and let Namiyo have no choice but to cast her out. Wakumi accepted her punishment and promised herself that she would do anything to protect her own child. Never to return to her father again.

Months went by quickly as Wakumi gave birth to her child on her own in a lake. She quickly but gently rubbed her young infant with a wet towel and kissed her gently.

"Welcome to the world, my beautiful ocean." Wakumi said to her child as she put up a strong barrier around them until she regained some strength in order to look after her child.

"I haven't given you a name yet sweetie. What should I call my little ocean?" She baby talked to her daughter as she gently caressed her cheeks. "Your going to be a beautiful demon when you grow up. Such a rare and unusual beauty for a baby like you, my ocean." She smiled knowing what name to give her child. "Hayami. That will be your name, my ocean. I promise, mommy's going to take care of you."

Years went by and Hayami did grow up with a beauty that is rare for a demon child. Born with a nightshade hair and amethyst like eyes. In a young age, Wakumi taught Hayami on how to use a sword and had known how to defend herself when she was alone. Many demons tried to take Hayami, but their success barely happened, mostly because Hayami killed every demon who tried to take her or use her for their own personal use. Through those years, Wakumi met a fellow water apparition named Ryuji Ezume. Said that he was from Namiyo's grounds and said that he was of no harm to her or Hayami.

Ryuji wasn't like another demons that they both met. He was patient, understanding and not quick to judge. Much to Hayami's delight upon seeing him. He even taught Hayami how to use her water powers when she doesn't have her sword with her. Wakumi and Ryuji fell in love as the months passed and they were wed. It wasn't long when Wakumi gave birth to another baby girl, and they named her Ranumi. Hayami was happy to be a big sister and through this, her maturity grew to being responsible but still kept her carefree spirit and fierce personality.

As the years passed for the family, Hayami went to explore more of the area that is near the home they all have settled in. She was aware of the demons who wanted her mother's gemstone for when she cried giving birth to her. She never took the necklace as she found comfort in wearing it, as if her mother was with her all the time. Along the way she explores the areas, she came  across a small demon duel.
