Enzan Ijuuin: Prologue One, Revision Two

Disclaimer: I do not own or any of its characters.

Warning: This fanfiction contains very depressing scenes and mild yaoi.

Pairing: Enzan/Netto

Author’s Notes: Well, I had to revise this because some people did not understand the importance of the first two prologues... Perhaps the world thinks I’m an idiot, I dunno, but I’ve added in a brand new first paragraph to disregard any disruptions you might get while reading.

Japanese Words Used:

Otousan- Father

---

Over the last three years, my life has changed entirely. I spiritually changed from being a cheery, outgoing and happy child, to an adolescent that struggles with himself every day, viciously fighting for an understanding for my existence... I hold a dark secret that tortures me each and every day, and I could feel it slowly killing my last hopes for happiness. My name is Ijuuin Enzan, and this is my life story.

My mother died when I was ten years old. I remember every night she would tuck me in bed, softly sing a lullaby to me and cradle me in her arms until I fell asleep. And... Right before I finally closed my eyes, her soft lips would reach over and she would kiss my forehead. I don't remember one night when she didn't kiss me good night... Sometimes, even now while I'm thirteen years old, I would close my eyes and image my mother was holding me while lulling me to sleep. Other nights, I would cry alone in my room, wishing she was still alive. I miss her.

My father is the president of a video game company. He is usually coming home late, which is when I have already fallen asleep. Otousan doesn't like expressing his feelings, but I know he misses Mama as much as I do. Sometimes, I would wake up early to see him, but, even then, he's too busy to spend time with me, because he has to prepare to leave for work. My father would be strict with me, though. I know it's because he loves me, but... I don't know. I'm kind of scared of Otousan sometimes.

One night, after Mama tucked me in and kissed me good night, I had a bad dream. I can't remember it that well, but the dream was that I had to do a favor for my mom, I didn't know how important it was, but I tried it and failed, and the next thing I know, someone had taken her away, and I would never see her again.

My eyes shot open and I immediately started bawling my eyes out, using my bed sheet as a tissue. Wiping the salty tears from the side of my cheeks, I pulled myself out of bed and ran towards the master's bedroom. I really didn't want to wake her; I just wanted to see if she was okay. Just then, voices started coming out of the master's bedroom.

"Shuuseki, if you could just spend ONE day every week with your son, he wouldn't ask me if you actually loved him or not!" I could feel my feet patter, as I ran up to the crack in the doorway and gasped. Papa was squeezing her wrist and with his free hand, slapped Mama, causing her to fall to the ground.

I froze, terrified, about to cry out loud again. Why in the world is Otousan hurting Mama? "Listen here, you spoiled bitch. Enzan is nothing more than an accident! You lied to me and told me you were having an abortion, and NOW you're telling me I should spend time with it?!" His voice thundered throughout the house, as he reached for his belt. "Oh, no..." I silently whimpered. "How could you talk about your son that-- Ahh!" Otousan started swinging the belt at my mom's face, I started crying out loud, but mother was screaming and crying so loud that no one could hear me. Everything was moving so fast, but I ran into the room to find Papa strangling her with the belt.

"Mama!!" I screamed, tears dripping out of my eyes, the tears made by vision too blurry to see anyone's expression. My dad released her from his choke hold as I saw a bleeding, unconscious figure fall to the floor. "Mama!" I landed on top of her body, hugging her as tightly as I could. "Mama, are you okay? Please say something!" My throat started choking up, making it impossible to talk.

I was trying to hold onto her until I was thrown off by a swift kick in my stomach. I lost grip of Mama and was slammed against the bedside, moaning and whimpering from the pain. I looked in terror as I saw my father stand in front of me. "What are you doing up?" His cold voice nearly scared me to death, but I was still fumbling for words. "I... I-I had a nightmare..." For what seemed like eternity, he did nothing but stare down upon me, as if he was burning my spirit from the inside-out. "I swear to Kami-sama, Enzan. If you tell ANYONE about what you saw here tonight." He knelt down and put one of his huge rough hands around my neck. "I will KILL you with my bare hands." His voice was so fierce, it made a chill go down my spine, causing me to whimper in pain.

I kept looking at my mom, but she was laying motionless upon the floor. "Get out of here." Little did I know that as I looked at my helpless mom for one last time, that would be the last time I would ever see my mother.

His entire life changed at the moment he saw his loving mother fall. And, in case you are wondering, YES, after the prologue, Enzan’s true personality will be exploited. Thank you so much for reading, and PLEASE REMEMBER TO REVIEW!! Arigatou! (Arigatou- Thank you!)
