SNOW-WHITE

The young boy skipped home from school,with a big smile on his face. It was the last day of school and now were to have a two-week holiday.Tomorrow was Christmas,making it even more special.And today ,they had progessed a lot in their English class,learning the fairytale,'Snow-White and the Seven Dwarfs'.Souta had asked why the princess was called Snow-White.The teacher said,

"Because she had skin as white as snow and lips the colour of blood."

Souta arrived at the shrine and started rushing up the steps.He glanced at the frost-laden trees and fondly remembered the time when his sister and he would bring in a little christmas tree and gaily
decorate it with ornaments.His sister.She was always rushing off to the past to help people. Though Souta did miss her a lot,he'd never admit it.Secretly,he wished she was home for Christmas.

He entered the threshold,expecting to see Ojji-san in the shrine and Mama in the kitchen, cooking a hot ,delicious meal for him.But what he saw chilled him to the bone,and it was not from the cold.
His mother and grandfather lay sprawled unconscious outside.And there was blood.Blood.

Blood staining the pristine white snow.

Souta looked up and the sight he saw nearly stopped his breath. A vision in red and silver stood before him.A dark,red-eyed demon gripped his sister's throat ,his clothes covered with her blood.
In his hand,he held a pale pink jewel,slowly being darkened.The demon raised his claws and drove them through Kagome's writhing body.She fell,with a silent scream,to the ground.The demonlaughed cruelly and licked his claws of her blood. Gripping the jewel tightly,he bounded to the well-house and jumped in.

Souta was numb,paralysed with shock.As his sister's blood pooled in the snow,he could think of only a single thing,

"Skin as white as snow and lips the colour of blood..."

20 YEARS LATER

A couple sat inside the old shrine home,savouring the last bits of their romantic candlelight dinner."I want to show you something special",said the young man.The young woman gave him her hand and followed him as he led her out into the freezing cold. He gently embraced her.She leant up for a kiss, only to find a cold,cruel blade driven through her heart.

Within seconds,she was dead.The man calmly picked the body up,and proceeded to the well -house. He dumped the body into the old well.Sighing,he noted that there were too many bodies. He would have to clear them up.He stepped outside,watching the fresh trail of blood on the snow.He licked his fingers of the woman's blood,enjoying the taste.

"Like a necklace of blood-red rubies on a snow-white neck..."

The young man walked to a grave,simply marked by a stone.He bowed in front of it, offering a prayer.

He walked away,saying,

"Merry christmas,Kagome nee-chan..."
