Growing up, I was never normal. My mother owned one of the biggest fashion industries in the world. Her clothes that were designed brought in billions of trillions of dollars, but 75% of it was given to those in need, to those who struggled in life. Because that was how Hiramashi grew up. She lived a simple life with her father and her two brothers. Her mother had died giving birth to her. As she was growing up, she didn't go to regular schools. Instead, she went to schools that let you focus on one thing, whether it be art, writing, reading, poetry, fashion, music, whatever your heart desired. Hiramashi was the prodigy child in the fashion department, releasing a line of clothing that took the fashion world by storm by the time she was 16. She was successful. But she didn't want the money. The guilt that scraped at her heart was too much. The fact that there are families that can barely get by made Hiramashi to create her own charity. Most of her sales went to families and the homeless. She created clothing for the families and the homeless. When she turned 18, everything changed. She became a mercenary for the notorious assassination group, Red Winter. Hiramashi's first love was the leader of the group at that time. Lou Wei Arata. Kaito's father. Lou sacrifices himself for Hiramashi's sake. They were on a dangerous mission, they were going to take down a person of the corrupt government. They were caught and Hiramashi's was gonna be shot. Lou let himself get shot for her to get out. Hiramashi managed to drag the body out using Qi and tried to stop the blood flowing. It was useless.
~Flashback~
Hiramashi ripped off one of her sleeves and pressed it against the wound. Her eyes were panicked and red from crying. Her body was shaking in fear. The once renounced mercenary, 'Grimm Reaper,' was reduced to a hot mess that day. She watched the person that she loved bleed out in front of her. As the light was vanishing from his eyes, he gave her his final wishes.
"Hiramashi..." he whispered. Hiramashi gasped and let out a stifled cry.
"Ar-Arata! You're go-going to be okay! Alright...?" But even she sounded uncertain. She refused to accept the cold truth that was trying to break her heart. It was too late.
"Hiramashi. Don't lie to yourself... I am dying..." she let out another cry. As she grasped his hand.
"Don't say that! You took my everything! I gave you my first. You promised that we would have a baby girl together!" She cried out, screaming, not bothering to notice the concerned stares. Lou smiles gently and grasped her hand.
"Hiramashi... promise me... that you will name your first child Akari. Promise me..." Hiramashi put her head down.
"I promise..." she replied weakly. She didn't bother with the feeling of helplessness. She didn't bother to hate this feeling. She only wanted to keep her lover. Lou smiled gently at her. His eyes regained a bit of light.
(If you are very squeamish to gore and other stuff, A) why are you reading this, and B) please, skip most of this. If you're not a pussy and think you can handle it, please, keep scrolling.)
"I love you... little star..." Lou closed his eyes and took his final breath. Hiramashi let her eyes create a waterfall. Her tears dropped down onto his shirt. She stood up and her eyes were deadly cold. Her face was dark and her eyes were murderous. That day would be the biggest massacre in history by one of the top three mercenaries. She grabbed his guns and she grabbed the dagger that he held. It was the same one she wanted to kill with one day. She grabbed it all and stalked into the building. Her Qi swirled violently around her. Her powers were at their peak. She was essentially the most powerful person in the world. The building shook. The power kept on shutting on and off. The heater went haywire and sparks flew. Hiramashi let out a mighty roar and slashed down the building. The building collapsed, but no one died. Hiramashi came in and everyone let weapons rain down on her. But as soon as they touched her skin, they shattered. Hiramashi sliced them all down. The last thought that went through their heads was, 'This is the true power of the 'Grimm Reaper.' She finally caught up to the one who killed her lover. She killed them all and kicked down the last one.
"You. This is your fault. I'm only here to pass on the judgment. You killed him. In turn, I'll kill you." The man backed up in fear.
"I-I'm Sorry! Pl-please don't hurt me!" His eyes were crazed with fear. He didn't want to die. He still never had sex with his secretary. (Seriously, that's what you're worried about?)
"Oh, don't worry. I won't hurt your secretary. At least, not yet." She giggles like a maniac.
"H-how did-?"
"What, ready your mind? Hereditary sweetie." Then, she took out a dagger and dragged it down the body of the secretary. She screamed before she stopped the tip at her groin.
"Now, since you're so eager to have sex with her, how about I give you her v*gina as a present?" With a few clean cuts and a lot of blood, cloth and genitalia fell to the ground. The secretary collapsed in pain.
"Y-you monster! Does it give you pleasure to kill innocent people?" He screamed out, trying to buy his life. Hiramashi looked up and her eyes were amused.
"Me, a monster? I hurt someone who you shouldn't even like. She's only 18. You're already 35. And innocent people? This woman was the reason that Ara... Arata died." She said, her voice cracking.
"She said that her brother was being held captive. She pleaded for us to save him. Her brother is dead. She is still guilty of doing it. And me taking pleasure from killing?" Hiramashi snapped. Her face went crazy as her powers pushed passed the level as Goddess Cultivator. She became a being untouchable by anyone. She also went insane. She laughed which sent a chill through his body.
"YOU KILLED HIM! WE WERE GOING TO HAVE A FAMILY TOGETHER! BUT BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU DID, I CURSE YOU TO THE 18 LEVELS OF HELL WITH PAIN MULTIPLYING 100 FOLD EACH LEVEL! NOW DIE!" She shot in front of him with inhuman speed. And carved into his body, "RW WILL REIGN SUPREME!" The cut was so fast that he didn't feel it. Nor did he feel his body being chopped up and his heart being ripped out with his internal organs.
"And may you only suffer in your next lives." She squeezes the beating heart in her hand and it exploded. The blood splattered all over her. She didn't care. That fateful day was the end of Hiramashi's life as a mercenary.
~End of Flashback~
After that day, Hiramashi found ways to conceal her power. She lead a normal life being a fashion designer. And then she gave birth to Akari. She already knew that Akari had been recruited by Red Winter, and she was proud of her. She had taught her daughter using shadowed means how to kill and clean blood. She had shown her daughter how to steal something of someone in a blink of an eye. She taught her how to be stealthy. Taught her how to hack. She knew if Akari wanted, she could be the leader of the group. Because she was Lou's daughter. Not biological, but she was just like Lou in so many ways, including looks. Hiramashi knew her time would be up soon. The least she could do was prepare her for that life she was going to live.
