Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Don't Touch Me ❯ The Beginning of the End ( Prologue )

Averon - *takes deep breath* Heyla! I don't know who you people are, but nice to meet you! I think…. This is the first story I'm posting on this site, but it's NOT the first one I've posted. Whatever you do, don't go easy on me. That's like lying and I want to know what you REALLY think. Flames and all.

The Beginning of the End

Here I stand before the prince of Reikai and his Tentai. Part of me wishes to ask "What did I do to deserve this?" but that part wisely keeps its mouth shut.

I wonder if that was Veya. I thought that side of my soul died long ago……..

Oh well….. Not like it matters…..

The prince is reading the charges brought against me… I don't listen….. Why bother? I was there… I know what I've done and only wish for the punishment I so strongly deserve…..

Who are you anyway, oh casual observer of my mind?

You don't answer. I'm not surprised. If I were listening to your thoughts I'd do the same thing….. Though I'd kill you after I got the information I desired…… Such is my life….

Don't worry... I shall not kill you now. Why bother? It would just be another charge on that long list that the godling is still reading….

What do you want?..... I might as well tell you…. It's not like I have anything better to do….

You want to know how I got here? Typical. I suppose I did ask.

I'll start from the beginning. The very beginning, when I still knew how old I was. I suppose that was years ago, maybe even centuries. Though, it could have been weeks. I wouldn't know. Time does funny things sometimes…. I'll start now. The beginning of my end.

.

Lord Junaku looked down upon a nameless servant. "I need a new pleasure slave. The last one died, schedule an inspection of the workers tomorrow so I can pick a new one."

"Yes my lord" the servant bowed low as it left.

`Good, now that's taken care of' Lord Junaku stepped off the platform he'd been standing on and walked to the window. He watched the children of his slaves play. He smiled a thin smile. The young demons here were pampered greatly. They didn't know why, but that hardly mattered. The slaves here were happy; their children were safe. Or so they thought…..

Lord Junaku watched one of the children pick a flower and give it to its mother with narrowed eyes. `The mother must be on break' he thought, `and if she's not….' Junaku shrugged. He didn't care. He treated his slaves well. Or so they all thought….

Junaku smiled that thin, cold smile again. His taste in pleasure slaves wasn't too terribly specific. They could be either sex. The only real requirements were they had to be young and decent to look at, and most children were fairly pretty…..

A young girl, by the name of Veya, was completely unaware of the watching of the lord as she picked a flower for her mother. Veya was five, and naïve. She was a half-elf, half-fire apparition, though she had very few qualities of fire demons. She had brown hair and ice blue eyes. She had the slightly pointed ears of the mixed elves. She was happy.

"Here, Mommy!" she smiled as she gave the wildflower to her mother.

"Thanks, sweetheart." The elf said, taking the plant and putting it in her hair. A bell rang somewhere in the castle, signaling servants to go to their rooms. The mother took her daughter's hand and the pair went to their room to eat dinner. Veya chatted happily all the way there.

When they reached their room, the mother prepared a meal while the child played with a rag-doll, telling it about her lovely day. The mother smiled fondly, remembering such times in her own childhood, and brought two plates of food to the table.

Veya cheers and jumps up from her seat on the floor and begins to devour her share of the meal. Her mother watches, then begins to eat her share of the food. She notices a piece of paper on the floor. Frowning. She walks over and picks it up. It had the symbol for inspection on it. She sighs. Nothing important…..

.

Wasn't I a sweet child? Veya was me….. I'm called something different now….

What I just showed you was the last boring day of my life.

You're wondering why I didn't tell you my mother's name.

I don't remember it, sorry. I know the rag-dolls name, though. It's Sakura. I still have her.

The prince is still reading that list……. Will it never end? Shall I let the rest of my life flash before my eyes?
