Chapter 1: Half Demons' Past

It was five in the morning and here Anita was sitting in a tree, enjoying the night scenery. It's not unusual to find her awake in the middle of the night, but today was special. Today was the day she been waiting for, today was the day people wouldn't judge her for what she did or didn't do. Her older brother was sending her away to a new village she haven't heard of before.
"Nice night, isn't it...?" a male asked. Surprised, Anita looked down and saw her adopted brother leaning against the tree.
"Just because I'm a host doesn't mean I don't get scared when you sneak up on me like that, Kitsune." She scowled, sighing mentally. Chuckling, he looked up at Anita with a soft, Kitsune-like smile.
"Sorry lil sis I thought you heard me... but then again you don't listen..." Kitsune mocked. She glared as the older fox had his seven chuckles, her red cat ears perked in anger.
"You know I'm just kidding~" he said, his long, black fox ears flattened against his head, letting out a nervous chuckle. Anita growled at him, her light brown fox tail twiched in annoyance.
'Stupid Neon always gotta ruin my peaceful night...' she thought, glaring at him with bright yellow eyes. His mossy green eyes stared back, not in an angered way but more like a pleased way. After what seemed like forever, he stared back into the endless darkness of the forest night. Anita leaned on the tree, slowly closing her eyes and letting the wind blow through her multicolored hair.
"Yukinko?" he asked, in a serious tone. Anita's eyes snapped open and she glanced at the older fox demon. Kitsune never called her by her actual, its been so long since someone actually called her by her birth name. There was a long silence, the only sound in the night was the wind, carrying voices and animals calls from far off places.
"Do you... Ya know miss Nee?" he asked, staring absently at the gaint full moon. Anita's eyes widen at the question, nobody, not even her or Kitsune, talked about their foster mother. Her eyes dropped to stare at nothing but the dark green grass.
"Of course I miss Nee... She was the only one that cared....." she said with a monotonous tone, holding her bandaged eye.
~~~~~Flashback~~~~~

Blood. Everywhere. Soaking the ground and splattered across the terrified face of a little boy. The raven haired boy's wide and staring dark green eyes were fixed in horror on the scene that lay before him. A little girl was crying over the bloody remains of an older girl in her twenties, her multicolored hair stained with the blood that still flowed through the fatal knife wounds in her chest. Though tears were flowing down his face, not a sound passed his lips. His legs collapsed underneath him and he fell to his knees.
"Misora-nee!" the little girl cried into her sister's bloody body. "please.. please don't leave us we need you!" she begged clutching at her bloody, torn shirt. There was a loud crack and the sound of a woman gasping. The boy turned around and looked into the faces of around ten older males, lite by torches. Leading the group of men was their stepmother, the most cruelest ninja in their village. The boy scurried out of the woman's way as she ran over to her dead child's body. The girl looked up and was instantly thrown aside as the woman kneeled over her daughter's dead body. The little girl cowarded near her slightly older brother as her stepmother cried. She suddenly looked up at the two half demon children with angry red eyes.
"You two did this didn't you...?" she asked her hate poured into each one of her words. Their eyes widen. Did she really think that they would kill their own mother? She scoffed. "See?! Even as children these demons carry enough strength to kill one of their own family!! We let them live here and they kill one of our best ninjas!" she yelled informing the mob of older men. They all nodded and murmered among eachother. The little boy's long black fox ears perked in anger, a growl escaped his throat.
"We didn't kill Misora-nee!" he argued "It was the black ninjas!" he yelled pointing a few black bodies dead far from the light carried by the older men. One of the men looked at the bodies and turned them over, revealing the face of some of their own men. He stood up in horror and puked on a nearby tree, the older woman smirked and looked at the men again.
"See?! They killed three others!" she yelled. The men started taking out their weapons to defend themselves. The girl got up and walked up to the woman. "We didn't kill them! oneechan did! Then they killed her and left!" she argued, her black cat ears twitched in a mixture of anger and fear.
"Silence demon!" she yelled smacking the girl across the face, sending her flying back to the floor. The girl held her face in pain and looked at her hand, it was covered in her blood. She began crying.
"Yukinko!" her brother yelled, running over to her side. The woman smirked and looked at the men with cold red eyes.
"Kill them... Kill them both...." she ordered and the men began cheering. The boy's dark green eye started glowing light green.
"I won't let you hurt my sister!" he yelled. The men started laughing and slowly made their way to the half demons. The boy grabbed his sister's hand and pulled her towards the safety of the forest, jumping over broken branches and dodgeing bushes.
"Hurry don't let them escape!" the woman ordered and the mob ran after them. The two half demons ran, trying to escape their fate they climbed a tall tree and hid in the leaves, blending in with the darkness of the forest it was like a game of extreme Hide-And-Seek.
"Neon..." Yukinko whimpered. Neon looked at her and shushed her softly. She held back the pain and tear that came from her injured eye. Neon ripped a long piece of his shirt and wrapped it around her injured eye and face as a bandage. Out of nowhere, a hoard of kunai came and landed sharply on whatever came in their path. Two stabbed Neon, one in his shoulder and one on his leg, one hit Yukinko in her arm and another skimmed her hip. Neon quickly pulled out the knives, each flowing blood. He screamed. The little girl pulled out the kunai and a sudden feeling of pain, sorrow and anger overwelmed her. Yukinko let out a series of deafening screams that echoed through out the forest with a high pitch after shock. It flowed the forest like a sonic wave, scaring birds into the air and causing a disorder among the animals on the forest floor. There was a variety of screams through out the forest. Neon looked down and saw a pack of wolves attacking a couple of the men from the search party. In a nearby tree, birds of prey were storming down and stabbing the ninja that threw the kunais. The boy watched in horror as that whole mob was either eaten or attack by animals of the sky and land. A few minutes later, Yukinko stop screaming and over ten bodies, including their stepmother, laid dead. The night was extremely quiet, so silent you could hear a mouse scurry around the floor over a mile away. There was a soft chuckle, Neon and Yukinko turned around scared and face a male with black hair and blood red eyes. He smiled at the two half demon children.
"You two kids come with me..." he ordered, as he slowly walked away. The kids slowly started following him, limping as they did, to their new home.

~~~~~End of Flashback~~~~~

There was a small chuckle and the night was once again quiet. Anita sighed and jumped off the tree branch landing without a sound next to Kitsune.
"Come on Kitsune we have to go pack before Dei Dei-Dairi get mad.." she ordered walking away. Kitsune followed her like a little servant boy.
"Yess big sis..." he teased as he followed her. She glared at the older fox demon with bright yellow eyes. He waved his hands in front of him.
"Sorry!" he quickly said, his ears fell in submission. She playfully punched his arm and ran off.
"Race cha home!!" she yelled. running through the forest. He growled and ran after her.
"Hey no far you had a head start!!" he yelled back. They ran and laughed through the same forest that had protected them so many years ago.
