Author's note: Yes my first ever attempt at writing a oneshot and had the guts to post it up :x
Characters belongs to ZUN. I'm merely attempting to understand them :)
- Millennium -
Such animosity in our battles… You amaze me in more ways than one. Mokou, no longer the child of man.
Once upon a time, long ago, I was born in your world as a miracle. Instantly, as I grew to my full form within a week, I became an objection of admiration by the filthy humans. It irks me so but as long as I serve my sentence, I would have to don that mask.
However, then came foolish sex-driven men whom my beauty was an object of pleasure clearly reflected in their lust-filled ogle. I had to escape their sick fantasies within their puny minds yet not alert the ones above.
"Yes. A false achievement to fulfill."
On a whim, 5 impossible requests were on the line for my hand in marriage. But of course, the name of the task itself defines the result. Absolute failure.
And that was your father, the head of the Fujiwara clan.
He had the nerve to present me an exact replica of the sacred Jeweled Branch of Hourai and demanded copulation straight after.
"The fool."
I will not tolerate such atrocity. Of course, I rejected him flatly ad exposed his devious scheme. But, I did not foresee his death soon after.
And that's when you desired for me in your father's name.
"Filthy humans… But you're different."
You vow vengeance upon your soul to bring about my death for your father's pride despite being fully aware of his negligence towards your very existence ever since I bloomed.
"That's merely a farce."
In truth, you couldn't bear to face me. You refused to acknowledge the poor relationship you had and proceeded to fault me as the main cause. Because his loving gaze has now shifted to lust towards me.
Yes I am fully aware of your green jealousy and crimson hatred dwelling within you.
"Am I really to blame?"
Your father brought upon his own downfall. I merely spun the wheel of fate to the end of his prime. That way, at least it would end your misery of constant betrayal and loneliness.
Why can't you understand?
"How can I ever forget you standing before me. Your petite form, lustrous midnight hair and that hazel eyes. Yes, those innocent eyes consumed by the flames of rage."
As much as I want to immerse my gaze within yours, I had to flee. Time waits for no blood soaked man. It was my choice to escape the chains of eternal purity and massacred my own kind.
My partner in crime, Eirin, knew there was no way to return back now. As she drags me away to hiding, I could only catch a last glimpse of your collapsed form on the bloodstained floor.
"Do not despair…"
The elixir was my farewell gift for you. I pray it gets safely within your feeble grasp, young child. Come what may, no matter how long it takes, I'll be awaiting you.
You. Fujiwara no Mokou.
"Will I ever be able to see you again?"
"Kaguya! Focus and fight properly dammit! Sheesh! FUJIYAMA VOLCANO!"
I embraced the full impact at point blank. As red hot flames engulf me, I smiled in satisfaction. It was her warmth. Filled with hatred, bloodlust, love and yearning for my death.
"Ah it's so good to be alive once more. You kept me waiting for far too long"
Finally, that lean built, lustrous silver hair and those hazel eyes now ignited by crimson welcomed me with open arms. She had returned for me after a millennium.
"Fujiwara no Mokou, a victim of Hourai"
