~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 20 years later ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ before tragedy struck ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Zerria time to come inside," yelled a worried woman's voice. Brown hair blew in the wind as the orange highlight's hit the dawning sun. "Coming mom, I'll see you Vince mom's calling me, bye," the 16 year old girl said as she waved goodbye to her friend. "Bye Zerria, I'll see you tomorrow," the boy yelled before Zerria was far out of his sight range. Zerria ran into the castle like home to only notice her father had returned from taking care of a few thing's. "Good afternoon father, how was your day," Zerria asked as Kur hummed and looked up from the book he was holding. Smiling a gentle kind smile as always, "mighty fine little one but your mom was worried about you it is getting dark and you know how mother feels about the darkness." 

"Sorry dad I lost track of time," Zerria said as she took off her shoes and placed them on the side of the mat before running over to her father hugging him. "Oh Kur your home as well, how was working things out with the council today," Midnight walked in with her long brown hair pulled up into a messy bun and held a dish towel in her hand. Kur stood up after patting Zerria and kissed Midnight on the cheek before smiling, "tiring but I'll manage it besides everything is going smoothly and calmly. Anything new on your end, my dear queen." 

Midnight lightly smacked Kur with the towel and chuckled, "your such a tease at times, my dear, but no, nothing has happened yet and I would like to keep it that way. Oh did you see Lenix and Ichigo today and their new little one Ailana. She's such a cutie." Midnight smiled as Kur hummed again before looking back at Zerria, "come on it's time for your mother's delicious cooking." Suddenly the doorbell rang and Midnight walked over to the door and answered it, "Oh Grell, what a surprise. Come in we're about to have dinner." A man dressed in red walked into the room smiling. "It's good to see you again Kur, how's everything going," Grell asked as Midnight placed another plate out for Grell. 

"It's been quite the hassel if I do say so myself dealing with the public and such but it's settled some to the point it's peaceful. Oh talking about such things I already talked to the head of the reaper board and they said you and Adrian can represent the reaper society in my council starting this coming saturday," Kur said as Midnight sat down beside him and cleaning up Zerria's face a little. Grell clicked his tonuge and ate the meal with them, "I'll have to tell Adrian once I go back after all he is a legend in the reaper society. And we'll be there saturday morning ready for anything." Kur smiled as they finished dinner and Zerria followed Midnight into the kitchen to help with the dishes.

"Kur have you heard," Grell suddenly spoke up as Kur set down the glass he was drinking from. Kur looked up to Grell and hummed before standing and walking over to the window, "yes Lenix and Lance felt a strange aura two days ago and they fear it's not friendly. I've already ordered everyone to be on high alert from this point forward due to the feeling I've been having since a month ago." Biting his lip Grell stood up and stood next to Kur, "do you know who it reminds me of Kur." Kur looked over at Grell and growled, "an arch angel those angel's cause trouble and cause chaos I remember an old friend that caused the same but had complete control over such things. He dealt with them long ago so I'm sending Lance and Edward to go find him since we need him once again."

"But Kur, ain't Lance and Edward your strongest fighters," Grell gasped at Kur's decision. "Yes but it's necessary for the task. He likes to have a battle before he helps anyone so with both Lance and Edward nothing can go wrong," Kur said before walking away from the window and sitting back down at the table as Grell did the same. "So tell the reaper society to be ready to take action," Grell said as Kur looked towards the kitchen. With a simple nod Midnight and Zerria came back into the dinning room. 

"Well it was nice chatting with you Kur but tonight I have to work so I'll be seeing you around then, bye," Grell said as he walked towards the front door and quietly left. Kur chuckled a little before looking over to Zerria and smiled, "and it's almost your bedtime Zerria." Zerria groaned knowing what happens when she isn't in bed in time. "But dad do I really have to-," Zerria started but was stopped when Kur raised a hand. Kur sighed and looked over to Midnight, "Zerria it's important for a young lady like yourself to get the proper rest. Now get ready for bed and I'll be up there to tell you another legend that you seem to love so much." Zerria sighed in defeat and nodded her head.

She loved Kur's illustrations of each and every legend that Kur told her. Walking up the steps to the upstairs floor. Changing into her pajama's and hopping into her bed as Kur entered the bedroom door. "So are you ready for another story, Zerria?" Kur asked as he sat on the edge of the bed his black and white bangs hanging in front of his maroon orange eyes. With excitement in her eyes she nodded her head.

"There was once when in the younger days I met a young youkai that was no older than 8 his name was nurarihyon. Just a little tot with no one looking after him. So being the caring person I took him in and at first he was shy and kept to himself so Lenix and T'sul Kalu tried their best to get him out of the shell he created but it was no use. So one day we were out and about and so I decided to explain the meaning of the world's life and powers. At that moment his face lit up and he smiled for once," Kur smiled and watched as Zerria started to fall asleep. Tucking her more in and clicking his tonuge and sighed, "he loved to smile from that day out and one day you will as well, my little princess, just like Nurarihyon."

Zerria was lightly snoring as Kur stood up and kissed her forehead. Shutting off the light and walked out of the room. Midnight ran up the stairs and looked at Kur. "What's the matter, my dear?" Kur asked as Midnight ran into his open arms. "You have a messenger who says that they wish to give you an important message from Nurarihyon of the Nura Clan," Midnight panted as Kur kissed her lightly on the forehead. "I'll go and check it out my dear why don't you get ready to settle down alright," Kur said calmly as he walked down the stairs. Walking to the bottom there stood a tengu youkai kneeling in front of him. "What news have come from the mansion of the Nura Clan," Kur asked as the boy raised his head.

"Sir, my name is Kuroumaru Tengu come here holding the replying message from the supreme commander Nurarihyon," the tengu said as he held out a scroll for him to pick up out of his hands. Picking up the scroll Our read the contents of the scroll and smiled. Smiling Kur looked over to Kuroumaru, "tell the supreme commander that I thank him for such a loyalty for doing this for me, Kuroumaru." Kuroumaru nodded his head as he wrote it down and bowed one last time before flying off. It was quiet before a scream came from the bedroom of the loving couple. "MIDNIGHT?!?!?" Kur yelled as he ran up the stairs as he started to reach for Dāku but something knocked him down the stairs as he struggled with the force on top of him.

Hitting the bottom of the stairs Kur turned the tables and pinned the thing that pushed him down the stairs. A flutter of feathers were heard before something was slashed in front of him. "Damn it you have alley's that were close by but oh well I'll just take care of both of you," said the shadowy figure snarled before charging at Kur again. Kuroumaru blocked the attack before the shadowy figure was pushed back and the figure snarled once more. Kit growled out, "go Kuroumaru warn the Nura Clan and make sure you hurry so that way Nurarihyon can hear from me. Protect my little princess, Zerria and I agree with the engagement of his grandson and my daughter. GO NOW WHILE I DISTRACT HIM."

Kuroumaru nodded his head and flew off quickly as Kur smiled and pulled out Dāku from its sheath and started fighting the shadowy figure. "Who are you?" Kur questioned the figure as Kur pointed Dāku at the intruders neck. "I'm Raphael the arch Angel of the 7hells and tonight I take over this fairy tale Kur king of the underworld. Your father is no longer stopping me and so won't you once I destroy your essence," a harsh tone came out before Our was slashed across of his chest as a wicked smile appear on his face. 'Damn you but i can't die that easily don't worry I'll be back for your soul Raphael just you wait' Kur growled before falling to the ground and coughed. "Be safe my little princess, daddy will be protecting you from afar," Kur whispered before Raphael walked up the stairs once again. Raphael opened the door to Zerria's bedroom to only find Midnight standing there bleeding and panting. "So you're still alive, huh, strong mortal you impress me very much," Raphael chuckled before vines shot out of his back and wrapped around Midnight's arms and legs, "well since you're such a strong mortal, you'll become my wife and queen of my new story."

Midnight struggled before she was dragged over to Raphael and held there before Raphael forcibly kissed Midnight. She struggled before she groaned as something went down her throat. Soon she stopped struggling and slumped against the vines. "Good girl now let's be off my wife," Raphael chuckled and walked out of the room without even noticing that Zerria had hid underneath the bed and lightly sobbing to herself. "Mommy, daddy why is this happening?" she whispered as she sobbed herself to sleep underneath the bed.
