The rain pounded hard on the rugged ground of the earth. The sky dark, covered with black clouds, no moon to guide anyone who'd be lost that night.
“I..got..to hurry.” a small girl around the age of seven was running in the darkness. Her feet bleeding from the pointed rocks on the path. She ran as hard as she could, her long, wet, purple hair getting in the way of her blood red eyes, making it hard for her to see where she was going. She looked back as if something, or someone, was chasing her. She slowed down seeing that there was no one in the emptiness behind her. She stopped at a tall tree. The tree held pink cherry blossoms that were in the middle of blooming. She smiled at it as she tried to stop her panting. She loved the sight of sakura trees, they always made her feal at peace.
“So this is where you are.” a dark and horrid voice that sounded like someone stepping on dead leaves broke out of the darkness.
The girl looked up, her eyes filled with both fear and anger. She looked back and saw a dark figure of a person in a cloak.
“Come on, don't you want to play?” the figure spoke as it took a step toward her. It was the voice of a man. “Don't you want to have fun?” he spoke out, like he was already having fun getting a chance to kill, or whatever his intent of chasing her might be.
“No..I don't want to.” her voice sounding small and weak compared to his. “Leave me alone!” she said attempting to sound fierce. She took a step back.
He chuckled, sounding more of a hurricane or tornado then anything else. “I just want to play. Don't you like games? Hmm? It'll be fun.” he smiled and slowly walked towards her.
“I said, leave me alone!” she yelled, this time without fear. She felt herself fall back. She slowly closed her eyes as she fell into darkness.
“Hey little girl are you okay?” a small voice spoke out. The girl opened her eyes and sat up. She looked around her, trying to remember what happened and where she was. She blinked as nothing came into her mind. She looked at the boy who spoke to her. He was smiling at her, but with worry in is eyes. He looked about her age, except he was taller. She stared at him blankly and smiled.
“Yeah I'm okay Oni-sama.” she said giving him the name suffix of a big brother. He stared at her confused. “But, I have one question.” she said as she stood up.
“Who am I?”
