We were born two
I say past tense because
It was
I was born first
I remember I was home
Then I felt expelled
I looked at the bright
It looked back and we shared our panic
I was born in a cool room there were only three people there
A red haired man who delivered us, A gray haired older looking man with two swords and Mother
They were speaking in a foreign tongue I never heard before but somehow I still don't understand, I understood
The nurse man took me and said
"He is a white haired boy"
And absently added maybe as an afterthought
"breathing but not crying"
The grey haired man chuckled and the bloody woman I came from just shouted 'HURRY!'
I was disconnected
But right after losing the feeling of something stripped away
I saw hope
And thats when 'she came out'
Wow my bright was ugly and red
Very red
Wait, is her hair red
Oh my, my my mine is white
Ahhh
I remember we already went over this
That's why I was put aside
The nurse boy cleaned her up with some white water magic thing he did
And he said in a grim kind - of jovial voice
"She's a girl of red hair and it cries"
My mother seemed to have expected it and didn't seem to give up right at that moment
But you could tell a light went out
It wasn't dim for long though
She looked at me
And I felt like the main character of the room
It seemed I noticed myself too
I personally believe we nodded at each other
But mother says I just cocked my head at her as if to ask "what, how does this involve me?"
she adds that I did it in quite an un-intellectual manner if that's even a word or possible at all!
The nurse guy decided to ruin our moment by saying
"Would you like to hold her?"
And the spotlight was back on bright crimson
Both Ashina & Mother reacted on opposite spectrums but in the exact same way
"NO!"
It was the loudest quiet I ever heard
Ashina sighed and then walked to the young boy who practically helped deliver us
And he outstretched his hands
His aura screaming "give me what's mine!"
He wouldn't have given her up faster if the grim reaper himself told him to
He practically threw the poor red girl at the chopping block like curling
In his head he might have even screamed "Jordan"
Rolling my eyes at this fool
He even has the gall to look at me and shrug.
I turn away from that clown, he's such an oddity conversing with a baby, who are you?
Then I looked at Darth Vader
Ashina held her comfortably she looked like she belonged, then he looked at me
Gripped her red hair tighter and looked away
More like Lost interest
Whatever see if I care old man
He looked at my mother and said as if declaring an epitaph
"Any Words"
My mother for the first time took her eyes off me
But not to look at Ashina, she closed them as if she were blind
She simply said with the most poisonous voice that has grated the earth since the snake greeted Eve
"Ashina, take care of her."
And then they left
It was just me & mother in the room
I don't know how long that moment lasted
But maybe a second passed and I CRIED
And secretly I don't think I was the only one
