Review responses
Bram: Thanks. I am glad you liked it! I enjoyed writing it. Um I was wondering if you are a boy or a girl, because if you're a boy, then that means you are like my only male reviewer. I think. But either way, a reviewer is a reviewer neh?
Light Angel 6: Thanks. Weird life seems very interesting.
Meine Welt: Lol thanks, I am glad you thought it was interesting. This one is really good also. I hope you enjoy! These pairings do need more love: )
I don't think using any two Japanese words I put together is smart. These aren't complete translations.
When the snow falls
It depresses me
Its cold
And harsh
It is like staring into nothing
As nothing stares back at you…
Quote from Daisuke Niwa
Slave to the Shadow's
Chapter two
Heaven fall into hell
I never had a name. Not one I can remember. My parents never told me. Or…maybe I just can't remember. The reason I have a last name is sort of…a fluke. My parents wrote us a letter before they died. Oto couldn't read it, neither could I. So I carried it with me. I still can't read it. Once a slave tradesman read the letter, but never told me what it said. He just slapped the name 'Enzeru' on me. I became obsessed with what it said. If I asked one of my previous Nushi's, they would probably just shred it. Saying it's a waste of time to remember the past. When I think about that. It makes me angry. It isn't stupid to hold onto people who loved you.
I know it sounds dumb, but I can feel that warmth every time I look at my parents writing, well, I think it's them. They wrote passages. That's all I can make out, from my knowledge.
People never cared to teach me anything about culture, I was taught slavery. When Hiwatari Sama owned me. He taught me of my species and my history, nothing else. Yet…I asked some time's…I am not afraid of the abuse. I was only slapped a couple times. The only real time I was ever hurt seriously was by Hiwatari Sama. He took out a whip. I have a scar down my spine. No one Cares about it. Most of the Nushi's that I have had either died from the sex, or they just don't care. But I guess it's better to ask then to not ask at all. I at least know I tried.
Maybe this Daisuke person will be better. Maybe I can ask him. Maybe…I can learn. I wonder if I can ask him to read the letter. He would know how to read. Unlike me, he was brought up in a good household. A loving family caring for him every second of his life, I wish I could have done the same for my Oto.
The way they named me. Now that's a good story. See it started with Oto and I…It was the first time I saw the koueki…
"Let go of me, don't touch him!" They were holding us back. I remember that so clearly. It was cement, inside it felt like you were being suffocated. We were so young…
We were being held back. By two big, butt-ugly men, I remember they were laughing. It was gruff, harsh laughter. I remember their breath was wrank. I hated them so much. Now what was it that they were called…oh yeah. The one with the weird mashed up face was Henshu, and the one who was holding onto me was Genkotsu. Well that's what I remember, some random guy said it, I think he was their Joushi.
"So then, what do we call him Genkotsu?" Henshu was scary. Oto was terrified of him. I can't blame him though. He looked like some sideshow weirdo.
"That dark haired one is cute, how are they rinsetsu?" Genkotsu was no better. I remember he had this one lazy eye. It was creepy how it just hung there. I don't think he shaved much either. I remember him rubbing his face against mine. It was slimy and ruff.
"Ya I know. Hey since they're so gyaku, lets give them the same name!" I remember when he said that. I felt like slapping him in face. It was because he was stupid, both me and Oto thought the same thing, I am sure.
"Huh?"
"I mean lets give them a name, and then reverse it for the other one," reverse it. But why, why couldn't they have given us a different name. I guess because we were doubou. But still, you think there were tater tots in their brains.
"Ok…hmmm…I wanna name this one Dark because of his looks, how about that Genkotsu?" Dark was what they named Oto, I wonder if he kept with his name.
"Ok Dark…lets see, D-A-R-K. Krad! That's what we will call Koan here," That was also when I got my nickname. Yes, if I ever get out of slavery, I will kill them both.
"Well then Dark and Krad, welcome to your new home," when that welcome rolled out of Henshu's mouth. I was horrified. I was terrified, for Oto and me. I have trouble sleeping. Ever since that day it haunts my nightmares. I have never had what they call 'A good night's rest'…
I need to ask some thing…I have a question…
Does Dai Sama even like Limo's?
Emiko smiled. Krad and Daisuke sat side by side. The three of them were crammed into a small limo. It was a white. Since it was winter the heater was on. Keeping all of the passengers warm in their little cocoon. Daisuke stared out the window, writing his name in the chilled plexy glace. The land was covered in a fresh blanket of snow.
Krad never understood why they called it a blanket. It wasn't warm. It was cold, it froze the land in a harsh embrace, plants weren't able to poke their heads out and feel the suns warmth. 'It's more like a tarp' thought Krad as he stared out into the white abyss around him.
"Dai, we will have to buy your slave cloths, toiletries also, hmmmm," Emiko said, tapping her chin in her all to thoughtful manner. Daisuke sighed not paying too much attention. "You will have to name him," said Emiko.
Daisuke stared at his reidou from the corner of his eyes. "He already has a name," exclaimed Daisuke. "Oh?" replied Emiko. "What is it?" Daisuke sighed. He plastered on his cheery disposition. He pried his eyes away from the window to face his riedou. "It's Krad, Enzeru Krad," replied Daisuke, a small smile peeking from the corners of his mouth.
"A last name, that is quite rare," said Emiko, curiousity bubbling in her dark pupils. "Not very talkative is he?" Emiko tilted her head, staring at Krad. Krad made no move to speak. He just stared out the window, consumed in his own thoughts.
"He was at the slave…"
"Were here," exclaimed the driver. Emiko smiled, she pushed open the door. Expecting the two teens to follow.
Daisuke shook Krad, not really knowing what else to do. Krad stared blankly at Daisuke, before handing him the leash. "You pull…I am like your inu, aren't I?" replied Krad. He locked eyes with Daisuke. "Uh…no," replied Daisuke, receiving yet another look from Krad.
In the end, Daisuke held Krad's leash, making no attempt to lead him anywhere, nor to pull. He just held it as Krad had instructed him to do, he had held it at the slave trades but, made no attempt to use it there either.
Emiko gave them a quizzical look before stepping inside.
The house, no, the Mansion was beautiful. The walls were pastel blue, portraits of family members and blue sky's seemed to plaster the walls. In the middle of the room, a large chandler hung, the dim lights reflecting off of the crystal beauty. Two parallel stairwells leaned against opposite walls in front of them. The stairs themselves were painted white, with carvings of miscellaneous flowers into the luscious cedar.
Krad stared in awe, his mouth almost hitting the floor. "Now then…Sealia!" yelled Emiko. A young girl came out of two double doors under the stair well. She smiled at Daisuke and Emiko. Giving Krad a courteous bow. "Hai Okami Sama," The girl had long black hair, which was tied in a high ponytail. Even though her hair was pulled up, it still reached her hips. She had chocolate brown eyes and thin lips. Her skin was a pale color, with a pinkish tint. She wore a black maid uniform. It had a long trim reaching almost down to her ankles. A white apron lay across her front. She looked about 16-17, not much older then Krad himself.
"Take Krad," she pointed to Krad, "find Cane and tell him to clean him up," Sealia nodded in recognition. She held onto Krad's hand and started to lead him into the two double doors she came out of. "You must be Daisuke Sama's slave," she smiled sweetly. "Hai," Krad said plainly. They came into a pastel orange room. A young man sat in a red recliner. Reading a book called, 'Fire Starter'. The man looked up from his novel and nodded to the two. He had slicked back brown hair. His eyes were a pale blue. He wore a strait black suit with white gloves. He looked to be about 24.
"Okami Sama says we clean Daisuke Sama's slave here," replied Sealia. The man looked Krad over. 'He must be Cane' thought Krad as the older male walked around him.
"Well then, we should start with a bath. Sealia you go start the warm water, get some towels, shampoo, and a bar of soup. Find Fay Chan and tell her to come here," Cane said in a respectable manner. "Hai," was Sealia's response. She hurridly went out the double doors she had come through.
"Well then, my name is Ichiro Cane, what's yours?" questioned the clean looking man. He extended his hand to the young teen. "I am Enzeru Krad…" Krad stared at the man's gesture, before hesitantly shaking his hand. "Well then, nice to meet you. I think you will enjoy it here," The older man smiled. "I suppose…" replied Krad. "Trust me, if you are Daisuke Sama's slave, you will be treated with much respect."
Krad just stared, he was confused, at all the other houses he had lived in. The servants had never been this…nice. Most seemed cranky and callous. Others were to shy and would get scolded constantly. But everyone here was happy, and enjoyed what they did. They all looked so clean.
"Am I in some weird parallel world?" Krad exclaimed. A quizzical eyebrow raising. Cane laughed at him. "No, your just in a better place then you were before. Trust me, things are good around here. If you have questions just ask!" exclaimed Cane, a cheerful grin on his face.
"Tell me, what species of Seppan are you and Sealia?" inquired Krad. Cane smiled, "I am a Mizu and Sealia is a Yajuu. You must be a Hane? I have heard they are truly rare, and beautiful," Cane said.
Krad nodded, "So far me and my Oto are the only ones I have met…" Krad said trailing off. Cane paused at those last words. 'Could he be? No…' thought Cane, rubbing his chin.
Daisuke sighed. He sat in a large room. A dark crimson had been painted on the walls. There were portraits of pictures everywhere.
One was of a boy with blue hair standing beside a young red head. They were both smiling, well, the red head was. The blue haired boy was smirking as the red head was hugging him.
Two dark wood bookcases stood beside each other, each full of different books, such as "The History of Seppan", "Escher complete works", "Airurando", and various others.
The floor was a deep rose wood, while the ceiling had maps covering every inch. There was a grand two-person bed covered with black sheets sitting against the far wall.
A pair of beanbags sat in front of a medium TV. A large Red PC sat on a glass desk next to two double doors. One of the navy blue doors was open, revealing art supplies, cloths, Lego, and other such things.
"I wonder how Krad is doing," Daisuke thought out loud. He watched the mountain range as two birds flew to the peak. He wanted to fly. He wanted to just fly away, to find a place where he could feed his curiosity.
Daisuke looked at the paper in his hands. It was Krad's Chii report. What it held seemed to peek his interest.
Daisuke started to read the paper.
Slave Nushi, Kuruma Reisei
Krad has been less then appeasing to our costumers. He has told almost all of them to fuck of at one point. Sadly…this led to Krad's rape. He seems to never get a brake, but that's his doing. I bet he whipped that incident from his mind. I tried to ask him about it and he didn't know what I was talking about.
It's funny…I seem to be the only slave nushi that he will speak to. I asked him and he said "because you remind me of my Oto," his Oto, hm, they must have taken the karuson from Krad. I can't understand why. Together Dark would have kept Krad at a better pace. He might not have been as abused by Hiwatari Sama. He thinks I don't know what that man did to him, but I know…I know the whole truth to it.
I wish I could help him, but he refuses my help. He wont let me read that letter he carries around. He says I would shred it, I don't understand him. He can't even read! He was abused mentally almost everyday. He knows nothing about the world, except…how harsh it can be.
If another Nushi reads this, please help him. He may act cocky and sure of himself, but he's not. In his heart he is alone and cold. I can see it in his eyes. When he smiles its like he's crying inside.
I wish you the best of luck. I just hope you don't push him away like he does to everyone else.

Chii report of Enzeru Krad
Three figures loomed in the doorway, "Dasiuke Sama, Krad is ready," called Cane. "I told you to please not to call me…" Daisuke stared at Krad. Krad stared back, he wore a yellow long sleeved shirt with white logo's running down the arms. He wore a pair of deep blue khaki pants. He was clean. His hair had been washed and now looked fluffy and soft.
Krad walked over to Daisuke. He leaned in close and smirked, "I wouldn't gape like that, fly's will go into your mouth," Sealia giggled. Cane grinned. While Daisuke just blushed furiously, trying to cover up his complete and utter embarrassment.
Daisuke shoved the sheet into his pocket. 'Hopefully nobody noticed' thought Daisuke.
"Well we have done our gyoumu, please excuse us," Cane smiled and started to walk down the hall. "Daisuke Sa…I mean Daisuke Kun, Satoshi Kun is coming over with his slave in an awhile. Fay chan will escort him," Sealia bowed and smiled. She started after Cane, running up to him as they ventured down the hall.
Daisuke gleamed at Krad, while Krad raised an eyebrow, "Krad, my cousin is Satoshi, we have been best friends since we were little kids. I bet you will like his slave as well. He is so nice and kind," Krad stared at Daisuke. He looked at the picture with the two little kids. "Is this him?" inquired Krad, pointing to the taller child. "Hai, that's him!" Daisuke smiled. He was smiling from ear to ear.
"He's handsome, I now why you like him," said Krad, smirking. Daisuke blushed at this. He went and stared back to the white abyss in his window. Anticipating the arrival of his best friend.
I have always remembered that one Nushi I had. Reisei was his name, Reisei Kuruma. He was so kind. He had heart disease though, so I only lived with him for about a month before he collapsed and died. I can still remember how he looked. His hair was…Green. He said his ancestors were foreign. I asked him why his name was Japanese then. He said it was just a translation. His name in his native language was Enjouement. I thought that was funny. He just laughed at me when I tried to pronounce it.
He was one of the only people who thought I could become a better person. He said he would teach me everything he knew. Then he died…
When I think about it, I could have used my power. But it's forbidden. I know…If I used that power…I would have been killed.
A long time ago, we Seppan never even knew what a human was. Each of us were given strong powers. These powers helped us create our community. Some could move things using their omoi to move things. Others could manipulate fuuun. Each species had its own power. The Hane species were the most prized.
Hiwatari Sama said that many of the Hane species were treated as Kindachi, Hidenka, Kimi, and many others were even held to the status of Hanshin.
I would have been treated so…but humans found the civilization. They thought us wondrous, but we were to peaceful to do anything about it…My people could not kill…no matter what.
The war was called Za Taishita Kaku. It was when the humans decided to enslave my race. We could have lived together.
Instead it was destroyed. This was over a hundred years mind you, but I can't understand why we couldn't fight back. We are, physically and mentally, the greatest species to ever inhabit Daichi.
I…I should have saved Reisei, he was my friend. He really was. I am weak though. I know it, the Nushi's know it.
I am so very…weak…
