Shiina stepped out into the forest. It was a dark night, and no stars were in the velvet sky. She looked up and sighed. I have no where to go, she thought to herself. If I run, for sure Taki and Natsushi will be killed. And it will be useless to run away with them. I'll have to stay here for the rest of my life....A breeze blew at her long, blue hair, pulling at its strands. Shiina turned around as she heard footsteps approaching. "It's time," a slightly high voice said. Kasumi Natsumoto stepped out of the shadows. "It's time to kill you sister."
Shiina's eyes widened as the woman approached her, but the young girl was speechless. The silver-haired woman stepped forwards and slapped her daughter across the cheek, glaring at her intensely. "Go," she ordered. "Go."
The ten-year old girl stepped into the room, empty except for the sleeping form of Natsushi Natsumoto. She narrowed her eyes and she slowly and silently stepped forwards, gripping the hilt of her katana tightly, so tightly that it bled. Red dripped onto the floor and stained the light brown tatami. Soon, the girl found herself at her sister's bedside, looking down at the sleeping child, her hand shaking uncontrollably. She raised her hands to deliver the killing blow, but without warning, the child opened her eyes. Dark blue orbs stared into the red of her sisters. "O-oneechan?" a wispy voice said, wracking the older girl with sadness. "W-what are you doing?"
Closing her eyes tightly, Shiina plunged her hands downwards into the body of the younger girl. A bloodcurdling scream pierced the night as a life was brutally taken. When it was over, the blue haired girl stood up and looked down at the now dead body of her sister. I killed my sister, she thought. I killed my sister. I- Shiina couldn't take it anymore. She turned out of the room and fled, not caring if her parents were standing guard outside the house and hurling weapon after weapon at her, not caring if she was leaving her brother alone to cope with her parents. On that night, Shiina Natsumoto became outlawed from her family, erased away from the family tree.
But also on that night, Shiina Natsumoto found a letter.
An invitation to Lyreade.
