"WAAAA!"

What a nightmare.

It was like this every night- that child of hers never stopped crying

Medusa scowls- this completely ruined her plans- it was supposed to be a quiet girl!

How dare it be a boy- such filth! And now it kept her up every night with it's blasted crying! What was she supposed to do to stop it? Sing it a lullaby?

She scowled as she approached the crying child. "As if you deserve a lullaby, you stupid boy."

Sigh. Then she begins.

Hush little baby, don't say a word;

Mama's gonna rule the whole wide world.

Here's a lullaby for you-

Which is something I never do.

Now as I lay you down to sleep,

I promise to make sure you'll always weep.

Pitiful child-

I'll forge your belief

And make sure I'm the cause of all your grief.

My child-

You are all alone.

And you'll never know how to be at 'home'

If you chose to not obey,

I will make sure that you really pay.

In fact, this is fate-

All you'll ever feel is only hate.

You will live a life of sin

And help me fight against Shibusen.

You will have a hoard to kill,

And leave you with a hole that you cannot fill

Why can't you have been a girl?

And with hair that has a little curl?

Instead of that, you are a boy-

So I will give you a different toy.

The child stirs in her arms, making Medusa pause for a moment to glance at his face.

The boys' eyes shift to glance at hers for a moment.

Are his eyes blue or black? Hmm… black…..

That puts a thought in her head…

black…..

She continues:

Hush little baby, don't say a word;

Momma's gonna give you a demon sword.

And with that sword you'll always scream,

Making madness a part of every dream.

You will live a life of pain,

And one day you'll become insane.

And I will say you are my kin,

The day you finally become Kishin.

……..

~Hush little baby~ Medusa hums as she tucks the little pink haired child into his tiny hard bed.

After turning the baby over, she turns around toward the dresser and pulls something out.

"You are not a girl, but I guess I can make due…" she says while folding the little black dress on the edge of the crib. She pauses as she finishes, then looks at the baby.

" I may love you when you become the Kishin, Chrona, my child…"

She pauses, and continues with an evil grin, "but until then…."

With that sly grin, she walks away, leaving the poor child inside the crib with tear trails all down his face.

She didn't bother to wipe them off. She never did.

Eventually he learns that no one else would come, so he stops crying, and falls silent.

Shibusen

"Chrona!" Marie sensei calls. "Are you ok?"

She slowly pushes the loud squeaky door open, wincing at the hinges high shrieks. She glances inside the dark room and sees his thin figure clutching a pillow in the corner of the room. Marie frowns- what is he doing there?

Still unnoticed by the boy, she steps inside. She hears a soft sound emit from the sleeping boy, so she leans forward to hear. He was humming a song. "How sweet!" she thinks to herself. "Wha-?" then she realizes it is a lullaby, and she felt her pity for the boy increase. How sad…. She should watch over him more- no doubt he has had to know how to comfort himself since his mother would never care to do so. He is so innocent, and needs love.

"What lullaby are you singing, Chrona?" she wonders in her head. As if in response, his next mumbled words chill her to the bone-

Still asleep, he softly sings ~the day you finally become Kishin. ~
