Lonely in Luxury
A hospital in Winder, the capital city Aerial, is the only place that still open that day. The midwife is busy helping a woman to give birth, she is full of sweat and her pure white wings of a Swan are half unfurl and trembled.
The woman scream in pain, a second later, a cry can be heard. "Congratulations." the midwife said to an elderly man and a man who are waiting beside the woman, "You have a boy".
The elderly man smile happily when he hear the news, "A boy, we have an heir now, Mikihisa." he said, he unfurl his Seagull's wings and looking pleased.
"Yes, father." Mikihisa answered, the tall man with Raven's wings walk to his wife, "Look, Keiko, we have a son. What name are you going to give him?".
Keiko smile happily, "Hao." she said tiredly, she look at the beautiful baby boy with Swallow's wings adorned his back, but then Keiko screamed again.
"What's wrong?!" The elderly man asked in alarm.
"There's another child!" The midwife exclaimed and help Keiko to give birth once again, after a long time full of scream and moan, the second baby born, "You have a twin boy, but . . ." the midwife look at the old man in confusion, "Yohmei-sama, he isn't has any wings".
"What?!" Yohmei exclaimed in shock, then he mumble, "This is not good." He look at the midwife sharply, "Kill that one, we can't have a disgrace like that".
"Father! No!" Keiko cry, "No! Don't! Please don't!" she tried to get up but she is too tired and weak.
Yohmei is not hearing his daughter plea and handed the baby to a tall guy with a long spicky white hair, "Kill this baby and bury him, so that no one will know." He ordered.
"No! Amidamaru! Don't kill him!" Keiko cry harder, "He is my baby too." Keiko pass out due to exhaustion, but she is still crying in her sleep.
"Go, Amidamaru." Yohmei ordered coldly, "And you." He look at the midwife, "You have to keep quiet about this, if you speak, I will make sure you are going to regret it". The midwife gulped and nod her head vigorously out of fear.
Amidamaru nod and leave the room, but he is not going to kill the baby, there's no way I will do something like that. Amidamaru unfurl his brown hawk's wings in anger, that old man will meet his downfall one day, he thought angrily as he wrap the still bloody baby with a cloth he snatch from one of nursing room. Then, he jump from the hospital window and fly to his friend's house.
"Silva, open the door!" Amidamaru knock Silva's house door rapidly, after a few minutes, the door opened and revealing a long black haired man with grey eagle's wings.
"What's wrong, Amidamaru?" he asks sleepily, "It's unusual for you to visit in this ungodly hour." Silva rub his eyes to clear his vision.
"I need your help." Amidamaru said urgently, "This baby is the twin of the King's son, that stubborn old man wants me to kill him because he doesn't has wings".
"What?!" Silva's eyes shot open and he fully awake, "How heartless!" he spat, "What can I do for you?".
Amidamaru handed the baby to him, "Please take this child to the Variolle, they are neutral and safe, right?" he asks, Silva nod in answer, "Please take this child to them and ask an orphanage to raise him, since we can't raise him in Aerial".
Silva nod again, "I will take this child right away, I just need some cover for us." Silva went in and change his pajama, he walk out again with a light brown poncho, the baby is safe in his hand, "Do you know the other Prince name?".
"The Queen named him Hao." Amidamaru said firmly, "Is something the matter?".
"I will named this baby with something similar to him, as a proof, so that we will know this baby is indeed the Prince twin." Silva explained and look at the baby, "Hao, then we will call him Yoh, that way, their name both have leaf character in their name".
Amidamaru nod, "Okay, I will remember his name." He said and wave at Silva, "Be careful, I have to get back now, or he will get suspiscious".
Silva nod and fly toward Variolle, he fly as fast as he can, since he doesn't want to risk getting seen.
Variolle is a town that love peace, there's all species there, and they all friendly. No matter if it's Windy, Halfeline, Esper or ordinary human, they all live in peace and harmony. It's a small town just outside Generial though, a country of ordinary humans who hate Windy and Esper, they don't mind Halfeline that much.
He fly to a famous orphanage that is well known for their education system, since it's impossible for them to pay for any school fee, they create a system that acknowledged by the government and they will be able to work.
Silva land in front of the main door, he places Yoh carefully on the ground, he already wrapped Yoh with a thick blanket to keep him warm and safe. He take out his note and a pen, he write a message and slip the paper in Yoh's blanket.
He rings the doorbell many time, make sure the light on before leave the orphanage. He fly above the orphanage and wait for Yoh to be picked up from the ground before fly back to Winder, he just wondering one thing, he hasn't hear Yoh crying yet.
"Luna-kaasan." a girl comes into the room, "I found a baby, there's this note on the baby's blanket".
A woman with black long hair and black eyes walk over to the girl and take the letter.
I'm sorry for this to happen, but we can't raise him. His name is Yoh, birth 12th may at 11 P.M please raise him carefully. If we can, we will come back to get him, but the situation is dangerous right now.
Luna takes Yoh from the girl's hand and look carefully at the baby. Yoh's eyes is still closed, he is breathing calmly, this make her frown, "Yoh." she said softly, "Why are you not crying yet?".
Keiko opened her eyes slowly, she look around in confusion before she remember everything. "Where's my child?" she asks weakly to her husband.
Mikihisa told her to wait for a moment, then, a young woman entered the room with a baby on her hands. Keiko sat up and takes Hao from the woman, "Hao." she said with teary eyes, then he look at his husband, "I want to be alone with him".
Mikihisa nod silently and walk out from the room, the woman nod and leave as well.
Keiko notice that her baby is not crying yet, "Hao, my baby." she whispered softly, "Oh, my baby, we lost your twin." she hug her baby and cry softly, "You lost your twin, my second child".
Keiko look down to Hao, who is now stir and open his eyes slowly, and as if he understand what his mother saying, he stretch out his arm in front of him with blank eyes.
Luna sigh in relief when Yoh stir and open his eyes, she was afraid if Yoh would never awaken. Yoh eyes stare blankly at her, making her worry again, then Yoh outstretched his arms to his front, as if trying to reach something.
As if they are linked and know that they should have another baby by their side, even is they are separated by distance, Hao and Yoh crying loudly while still trying to reach each other.
In this world, there are 4 species of inhabitants. They are Windy, Halfeline, Esper, and ordinary human.
Windy are human who have bird wings adorned their back, a few of them can use their feathers as a weapon to protect themselves when they are in danger. The bird's wings they have are different for each person, there are many who have the same bird species but different in colours, there are also many who have the same colour but different bird species.
Halfeline are human who can manifest parts of cat are cat's ears, eyes, tail, and claws. Their body are flexible like cats, and they can use cat abilities. Just like Windy, their cat's species are different from each other, even a family can have different cat species.
Esper are human who have psychic ability, they are categorized as Psychokinesis, Telepathy, Teleport, Clairvoyance and Psychometry. Every Esper have different lever of power, the highest is 6, the higher the lever, the stronger they are. Even so, in a large human community, only a few who have this ability and they are often not related by blood, except if they are a family of Esper, and they often keep their ability hidden.
Ordinary human are human who not have any of those power, but they have the most advance technology compared to them all.
"Yoh." A 5 years old boy with short spiky brown hair looked up from his book to look at the orphanage caretaker.
He smiles happily at the sight of his favorite caretaker, "Luna-kaachan!" he exclaimed happily.
Luna smiles warmly, "Come with me, someone wants to adopt you." she said gently.
"Adopt? Does this mean we won't see each other again?" Yoh look at the Esper woman who raise him like her own child with teary eyes. Even if Luna only Level 3 Esper, but since she is Psychokino, an Esper who has ability to move object, she is strong and protect all the orphans like a lion.
Luna chuckles, "You can, of course we can see each other, all you need to do is visit this place once in awhile." she said in motherly tone.
Yoh face brighten, "Yeah!" he exclaimed excitedly, "Wait, I will change first!" Yoh rummage his closet and run off to the bathroom with a pile of clothes. Once he finished change, he ran out and holds Luna's hand fondly.
They walk into the office room, there's a short old man with grey pigeon's wings waiting in the room. "Sorry to keeps you waiting, Goldva-san." Luna said politely and sit across him with Yoh, "This is the child that I told you about, he is a black Halfeline." Luna gestures for Yoh.
Yoh bow his head politely and grinning widely, "Nice to meet you, my name is Yoh." he introduce himself and bow once again.
"A polite and clever child, like the one I want." Goldva smile at him, "I'm Goldva, I will be your grandfather from now on".
"Yes, Goldva-jiichan!" Yoh said happily, his black ears and tail twitch in excitement, his tail run to right and left rapidly.
"Hao!" a thunder like angry voice makes a dark brown haired boy stop in his track to his room.
Hao turned to look at his grandfather innocently, "What is it, Jii-chan?" he asks so sweetly.
The fuming Yohmei stomping to Hao, "How many times I have to say, don't go to that fighting arena." he growled angrily, "You are the Prince of Aerial!".
The 5 years old Hao scowl, "Whether I go there and fight or not, it's my business." Hao retort and fly to his room, ignoring the fuming Yohmei.
Hao locked his room and went to the bathroom, he stand in front of a human length mirror. He always feels calm when he is looking at his reflection, he doesn't know why, but he already like this since the first time he can remember.
Hao take in his wings and removed all his clothes, he look at his reflection again and press his forehead together with his reflection, even if he doesn't know why, he like to do it.
"Do you like your new home?" Goldva look at the open-mouthed Yoh.
"So biiiig!" Yoh exclaimed out of surprise, "Jii-chan, you are rich person?!".
Goldva chuckles, "Some people said that." he said and hold Yoh's hand, "I will show you your room".
Yoh nod vigorously and walk beside Goldva, they walk the second floor, they come into a stop in front of a door with Yoh's name hang in there.
"I already planning to adopt you for some time, that's why I buy all the stuff that you might need and prepared your room beforehand." Goldva said pleasantly as he open the door.
Yoh run inside immediately, the room is bigger than the one he has in orphanage. There's a big window to the backyard, a big bed, a big TV, a big closet and a big door. Yoh opened the door and find a bathroom inside, there's a big bathtub, a normal sized shower, and a big mirror.
Yoh look around with open-mouthed, "Goldva-jiichan, all the stuff is BIG!" he said in shock.
Goldva laugh happily, "Do you like your room, Yoh?" he asks as he looking at the room.
"Yes!" Yoh exclaim truthfully, and to proof it, his tail is running a mile per second.
Goldva nod, "Then, I will leave you here, you must be want to try everything." he said with a chuckle and leave.
Yoh look around again, he decide to take a bath then. He walk to the closet and open it, luckily the clothes is not big, he thought as he take a long sleeves orange t-shirt and a black sweat pants.
Yoh run to the bathroom, then hang the clean clothes and towel in the place. He open all his clothes and want to take a shower, he will turn on the shower if only his reflection not caught his attention.
Yoh doesn't understand why is it so painful to look at his reflection, Yoh sigh and walk into the mirror. He hide his ears and tail, then press his forehead to his reflection, it's true that he is sad and hurt to look at his reflection, but he felt calm and content for a moment when he positioned himself like this.
He stay in that position for fifteen minutes before finally take a step back the mirror, he is surprise how he is not feel sad and hurt anymore when he look at his reflection. How strange is it that with only take in his cat's body parts can make him feeling alright to look at his reflection, he always try to avoiding mirror as much as he can, because it's hurt to look at.
Yoh smiles to himself, he will always hide his cat's body parts if he is near a mirror then.
