"Aru!?" A women with long beautiful snowy white hair called out into a field of dark red and black sunflowers. She held onto her straw hat tightly as a strong gusts of wind continuously blew against her skin. When she saw multiple dark sunflowers shake, she showed a smile of relief when her son popped out from the tall flowers. Her expression then quickly changed to a stern pout. "Arumigi! I told you not to go that far didn't I!? Look your clothes are all dirty--"

"Mama! Look! I caught a butterfly!! It reminded me of you, because of your name!!" The young boy smiled as he pulled out the butterfly from his pockets. It barely even twitched its wings - it was close to being dead. Arumigi's toothy smiled changed to a sad whimper. "Wake up Mr. Butterfly...." He sniffed about to cry.

Arumigi's mom bent down to reach her crying sons' level. She placed her straw hat on his messy white hair. She sighed as she closed her hands around his small ones, so that he couldn't see the crushed dead bug."You've gotta treat this things with extra care, Arumigi." She explained with a small smile as her lavender eyes turned red for a couple of moments. Her white hair begun to float like a cape behind her, semi-due to the wind but also because she was using her Sariyoku. "How do you expect to treat your wife nicely when you go around crushing butterflies~" She giggled showing off her spiky set of teeth.

Arumigi looked a lot like his mom; to the hair to their spiky teeth. The only really big difference was their mannerisms, likes and their eyes. Arumigi had blood red eyes despite the fact neither his mom or dad had red eyes. But Arumigi barely remembered what his dad looked like.

Arumigi's mother eyes turned back into their normal color. She instantly felt dizzy, reflexively she held her stomach instead of holding up her head. Arumigi didn't notice anything wrong because his mother was still smiling.

"Well? Don't you feel anything moving??"

Arumigi's eyes widen as he felt something tickle his finger tips. He opened his hands and the butterfly that was barely alive flew right out of his hands into the pale red-colored sky.

"Woaaaah~!! Mama how did you do that!?"

The women laughed, looking at her son. "I tell you this every time I heal your wounds. We all have a Kihaku - it's something we're all born with. Even if you're a Tainted Human or Asagao or just a normal butterfly. My Sariyoku is has extreme regenerative properties, meaning I can use it to speed up any persons own Sariyoku - in this case a butterfly." She explained but Arumigi didn't really understand.

"Sari...Haku...?" He tilted his head like it was the first time he's heard that word. "Oh! Asagao! Daddy was that right! Oh you told me that once!"

Arumigi's mother showed a painful smile in response to the reminder of her husband; her dizziness still hadn't subsided but she couldn't worry her son. She need to be strong her not only him but her unborn baby.

"Ma....Mama....!!!" The little boy cried loudly as he saw his mothers dead body. Her entire body was covered in white sheets and all the machines she was hooked up to through tubes were all turned off.

Chouka Shimizu had died that day giving birth to Arumigi's little sister.

"What the hell is a kid doing in here?!" A doctor angrily yelled at one of the nurses. "Get him out!"

"Mama!! No!! D-don't touch me!!" Arumigi wailed as one of the nurses grabbed into his arms avoiding his kicks. "I said let me go!!!" The white hair boy yelled once more. His leg began to glow as he kicked the nurse across her stomach.

"E....eh....?" She looked down to see her uniform cut clean, exposing a part of her stomach and the underside of her breast. It took a second but her stomach then sprayed blood all over the room. Arumigi's face, clothing, and hands were all splashed with the nurses blood.

"Shit! Shit! Nurse Tachibana is bleeding out!!" The doctor called out but Arumigi could barely hear.

It felt like he was getting dragged underwater - he could barely breathe and hear the doctors and nurses cries. Several people rushed into the room, pushing and shoving him out the way to treat the nurse.

"Ma....ma.....ma....ma" Arumigi mumbled repeatedly as he walked down the dark streets aimlessly. The yellow crescent moon above laughed loudly - Arumigi then remembered what his now dead mother told him. When the moon laughed it meant either a Monster, Tainted Human, or a Witch was around. ".....SHUT UP!!!" Arumigi yelled at the dark sky that was filled with dark laughter.

The moon then shattered and long black vines shot through the shattered opening, wrapping around Arumigi's small body. The thorns cut deeply into the small boys' pale skin. His clothes were recolored in red.

"Yahahahahah!! Yahahahah!!" The laughter of a Witch was all Arumigi could hear. The dark street he was walking down aimlessly transformed into a garden of wilted black roses with sharp thorns. Arumigi's body was lifted up so that he was facing the Witch. The Witch was wearing a mask decorated with roses and she was extremely tall as well slender. She was wearing an extremely huge and poofy dress that was bigger than her.

"D...don't kill...me...." Arumigi whimpered as snot dripped down from his nose. He shuddered as he saw the Witches' dry, bumpy tongue stick out from beneath her mask.

"I call upon my Asagao, Akiraka! Become my partner to fend off this evil!" A voice yelled catching the Witch's attention away from Arumigi. A women with round glasses and long dark brown hair then appeared on one of the tall wilted roses. She pulled back the string of her bow aiming directly at the Witch.

"Witch Deliah, your countless killings end here!" The women yelled before the Witch could react. A bright pink light shot through her mask causing the thorny rose labyrinth to disperse instantly. It returned back into the dark streets Arumigi was just in.

The young boy was about to hit the ground, but luckily the young women was fast enough and caught him.

"Tokiru..." The bow glowed before transforming into a human. He had messy blonde hair with some of the front being tied up. "We should take this child back to Sir. Pumpkin. We don't know how long he was in contact with that witch for," The male looked at Arumigi's bloodied clothing. "He's got a lotta blood on him as well."

"Akiraka, I'm not dumb. I know."
