Prologue
The main character in this tragic tale is Akira Shizumi a young boy who lives in a seemingly perfect life. He had a mother and a father, and they were some of the wealthiest people in all of Japan, but this family held a very deep dark secret. The father had an abusive streak, he would hit Akira and his mother until they couldn't move, and leave them there while he went out for a drink with his buddies. Akira's mother was too scared to leave her husband so Akira did everything he could to make his mothers life as good as it could get in that wretched house. For instance every Thursday Akira would take his mother out to the most serene shopping district in town and they would buy groceries together. Unfortunately this is where out story begins, which in turn signals the end.
Spread Your Wings Pt.1
"Isn't this a great day mom we finally get to get out of the house, and were away from dad," said little teenage boy with emerald eyes, skin as white as snow, and hair as dark as charcoal. He wore old torn clothes, and spoke with a soft sorrow filled voice that could bring tears to any one's eyes just by hearing it.
"You know not to speak ill of your father in public Akira someone might hear and tell your father, then what extra torture would ensue us, besides like you said it's a lovely day and he would just ruin it." She was an elegant graceful woman, who walked like there was wings on her feet making here weightless. Her hair was done in a traditional bun and she wore the finest cloths someone could have, in contrast to Akira who refused to look like his father and dress in fine clothes.
"So mom what do you want to do first we have the whole day ahead of us, and we don't have to be home until five o' clock.
"Well lets start by actually picking up the groceries son," chuckled Akira's mother.
"Right..I'm on it mom you just rest up on this bench and Ill be back as soon as I can I promise."
"I could really use the rest," thought Akira's mother, " okay just be careful, and be sure to get everything on the list you know how your father is."
A couple of hours had passed since Akira had left his mother on the bench he hurried as fast as he could to her, but there were so many things on the list that it took him longer than expected.
"I sure hope mom is okay, and still there of course," Akira whispered to himself.
To Akira's relief his mother was still there sitting on the bench waiting for her son to return.
"I'm so sorry mom the lines everywhere were packed...I rushed as fast as I could though...and I got everything on the list," said Akira in an apologetic tone.
"It's alright dear, I have enjoyed this time to just sit down and relax thank you very much for doing all the shopping for me, but we better get home because I still have to fix your father's dinner before he gets home."
"Alright mom what ever you say," Akira stated with a huge grin on his face.
As soon as Akira and his mother got home they set to their house hold chores. They were behind schedule and were rushing and very frightened. The reason for their fear was if everything wasn't perfect, and dinner wasn't ready Akira's father would make the beating that night especially painful. By the gods grace Akira and his mother finished all of the household chores and got dinner ready so they were hoping that Akira's father wouldn't be so ruthless this night.
*The sound of a door opening*
*Hearts racing*
*Akira's father makes his entrance, he is a tall muscular man with eyes and hair the color of the night, and a stare that would strike fear in any beings heart*
Akira's father didn't say a word to Akira or his wife, he simply walked around the whole house hoping to find something wrong that would give him reason to be extra hateful. To his dismay everything was perfect.
"It's tolerable," boomed Akira's father to his family.
"I'm glad it pleases you hunny, we cleaned extra hard today for you," Akira's mom almost in tears said to her husband.
"I didn't say it pleases me, but it will do." "Lets eat I'm hungry, demanded Akira's father.
So they sat down and ate their dinner in absolute silence both Akira and his mother shaking for they knew what was about to occur. Much to their surprise Akira's father asked him a question which never happened before.
"So boy how was your day with your mother?"
"Good I let mom take a break and bought all the groceries for her shes been so tired lately."
As soon as these words were uttered Akira's father got a sadistic grin on it but at the same time you could feel anger emanating from it.
"What were you doing sending a boy to do a girl's job," roared Akira's father.
"I was just tired I'm very sorry it wont happen again...I promise" pleaded Akira's mother.
"Sorry isn't good enough I'm going to teach you not to treat the boy like a little girl."
*Akira's father stands and takes his knife from dinner and starts walking slowly towards Akira's mother."
"Oh no what should I do I don't want mom to suffer any more, but dad could seriously kill me this time... well if I have to die for mom to live then so be it," Akira quickly thought to himself.
"Leave her alone dad it was my idea if you touch her I swear you will regret it!"
"Son don't do th.."
"Shut up you stupid witch, looks like the boy has finally grown a backbone guess Ill start the torture with you tonight," said Akira's father in an demonic tone and demeanor.
"I'm not afraid of you anymore dad I've decided I will protect the ones I love for all eternity and if you kill me Ill still protect mom from the heavens."
That was the last straw for Akira's father he charged full on at Akira and stabbed him right in the heart his mother screamed and his father laughed a pure evil laugh, one like no one has ever heard before.
"Its okay mom I'm ready to die I protected you and that's what I was sent here for please run upstairs and call the police with my dieing will I will set you free from this monster from the rest of time," Akira stated grasping for air.
" Son thank you so much you will always be in my heart your my guardian angel," sobbed Akira's mother as she ran up stairs to call the police.
"Oh no you don't I'll kill you before you can tell anyone," laughed Akira's father.
"I wont let you go to her father like I said with my dieing will I will set her free from you."
Akira's father tried to pull the blade from his sons chest but it wouldn't move Akira was holding it in with one hand and grasping his fathers hand with the other. He was dead his bones locked up so tight that his father couldn't escape his clutches. The police arrived and took the evil man away, and his mother was given everything in his estate and all of his money. To this day she still prays to her son thanking him everyday for the new life he gave her.
Epilogue
"Where am I why is this place so bright?"
"Your in the soul society silly the place where all spirits come to rest,"
said an unknown voice in a very bubbly tone.
"Why am I here...And what happened to my mom is she okay?"
"She's fine, I made sure of it before you came here."
Akira's eyes were finally adjusting and he could now see the figure that had been talking to him. It was an angel with a nurses outfit on and blonde hair. She was swaying side to side and couldn't seem to sit still.
"Who are and what are you," asked Akira in an inquisitive tone.
"I am your power your desire to protect people, and I'm here to guide you to the place where you can put me to good use."
"What if I don't know how to protect people as you saw I'm not that good at it."
"Hush now you know that's not true your mom is living the best life ever, and its all thanks to your brave acts you took on that day."
"Maybe your right, but I'm scared will you help me?"
"Of course I will Ill always be by your side and that's a promise."
With those words said Akira and his new found friend walked into the sunrise on their way to the court guard companies to help people, and save many lives.
