Prologue
Welcome to the town of Crimson. Not a lot to look at eh? Just a bunch of beat up buildings, trash everywhere… Oh! But we do have a very nice, over grown park. Very natural you might say, since no one has ever bothered to trim anything.
This town is the home to poor and poorer people. If you go across the bridge to the other half of the "town", known as Tokiyo, you will notice it is much, much different. The houses are nice, people have jobs, and kids go school. Ya know…the usual.
You see here at Crimson we don't got any of that... The top gangs run the show, not some mayor. Yea the system has its faults. Gangs do go to war and such but hey it hasn't worked too bad so far. It's been like this since I've been here!
But enough the gloom and doom of this town…let's get to the actual people that have to live in this hole. There is an unwritten rule that goes to town…everyone here has lost someone dear to them. It may have been a lover, a parent, a child, or fuck…you could've lost your whole family. That's just how it works here. Now why is that you ask. Well I'll tell you.
See not too long ago, all you have to do is go back a couple generations, Crimson and Tokiyo were happily one big city. There were some rich and some poor, but everything was pretty good for every body. That is until the mages decided to get big heads and think they should run the show solo. Well the Demons and Shape Shifters on top didn't like that too much and that's where the fighting began.
Anyway to make a long story short, the mages kicked the other guys' asses and banished them and their followers to the scum hole now known as Crimson. But that's not how I ended up here. My family came here afterwards, about 5 years after the war was over and done with. However I don't think I'm gonna get into that very much. Why? 'Cause it ain't any of your fucking business!
Enough with me now. I really don't like talking about it…painful ya know. For I too follow the unwritten law of Crimson. Yep that's right I've lost someone too. My older brother, Toya. I'm a lucky one though; at least I still have a family member left. My twin brother Sota and I have stuck together ever since then, but lately we've seem to be growing apart. I'm probably just being paranoid; we've been under a lot of stress lately. We're getting a new ally and a very powerful one at that.
Sota and I look almost exactly alike. We both have black hair and pale skin. There are only two differences in our appearance, one I'm a girl so there for I have my girlish features and two Sota has bright blue eyes and I have dark brown ones. My eyes are so dark in fact that some people think that they're black. Strange huh?
Jesus what is with you and Toya? Yea I know I didn't you a lot of info but it's still not any of your business! Fine! If you're gonna keep bugging me I'll give you a little bit of back round. But only a little…
Toya died when he was eighteen; Sota and I were almost fifteen. He died in a surprise attack by a rival gang. He told us to run and we did…just not very far away. He took a bullet for me and died the next day in one of the crappy ass hospital. Sota and I had a few scratches and I had a nice slice on my leg but other than that we were ok…
After that Sota was put to the leader of our gang and me as second in command. It was hard at first being in charge, but we got the hang of it after a while. Things quieted down and Crimson has remained really peaceful. Things have stayed the same.
But I still miss Toya so much! I can't get rid of the guilt of that day! I was the one that was supposed to die! Not him! It would have been better! Sota hasn't been the same since. He tries to hide it, but I can see it. His eyes have lost their sparkle. He seems to hold himself differently…
God! Why the hell am I telling you this! It's not like you care or anything! Sota and me have been on our own for years and no one has ever thought to give us a helping hand. Everyone has left us to fend for ourselves, everyone but Toya.
But he's gone and it's my fault…everything is my fault. It's my fault we had to run away. It's my fault he died. And it's my fault that the meaning of life for us has just kinda faded away.
This is Kagome Higurashi. And I live in the hellhole called Crimson…
