Prologue

Reincarnation that's what I thought when I saw a large women holding me while smiling with a loving look on her face. From what I can remember is that I died in my previous life although I can't remember how. My thought broke when I was move from the women who is now my mother to another person in the room who seem to be my father.

"She's prefect Aiko…" as my father smiles at her then back to his wife.

"Hai…what should name her Takehiro-san?"

"Hmm…how about Touka?"

My mother turn her gaze back to me and smile, "Touka…Itou Touka that a beautiful name." Following her gaze, my father also looks at me smiling.

Feeling the warmness coming from my new parents makes me think about my old life as I did not have any parents growing up. When I saw the looks on my new parents faces a smile appear on mine seeing this both of their expression brighten. It seems like in this new life I'm able to have a loving parents maybe it won't be so bad.

In this new life I was born as a girl rather than a boy like my old life, but I was not that bother by it, I'm currently living in a time what seems to be in feudal japan. Living in this time of age is quite hard as compared to my old life but still every day is filled happiness. My parents work as a Japanese umbrella or wagasa maker to make a living although we do not earn that much, but still it was enough to keep us fed and warm. My parents in this life are what I called good people and they are well liked in the village that we are living in. Mother is a very beautiful and kind women and my father although not what one would call good-looking is one of the braves men I ever seen as once there was child drowning in a river, he immediately jump in the river to save the child when I saw this I was worried for him and turn to my mother but saw her expression as if she knows he would do this after a while he came back and was scolded by mother for making them worried after the scolding I ask my father why he when to help the child even though it would endanger himself.

Flashback

"Father why did you help the child aren't you afraid of endangering yourself?" my father look down to me before looking back to the front.

"Hmm…of course I'm afraid but I'm more afraid of regretting not helping when they are within my reach so that at the end of my days, I can be proud of my life." He then held my shoulders while looking at me in the eyes, "That's why Touka always live a life that you can be proud of one without regret."

I then felt a hand on my head knowing that it was my mother, "Your father is correct Touka but also know that we would always support whatever you do in life and be proud of you." As mother hug me from the back and I found myself crying in her arms having received the love from both of them.

Flashback End

It was one of many moments that I'm proud and happy to have them as my parents. Right now, we are expecting a new member as mother is pregnant with a child and I can't wait for he or she to be born. Everything was going great in my new life but what l learnt later is that every good thing can easily be taken.

It was getting dark as I am walking back home from delivering all the made wagasa as usually it was my father who would do this but today mother was not feeling well so I volunteer to do the delivery so that he can take care of her although he was worried for me, I assured him that it would be okay, and he reluctantly agreed. Our home is located at the outskirt of village, just as I was about to reach the house, I felt an ominous presence from the direction of my home a dark emotion creep up to heart as I ran home. In this life it seems that I was born with a special ability to sense presence from a distance but the thing that I was sensing was not something that I ever felt before. When I reached my house, it was a sight that I wished it were all a dream what I saw was a creature that is shape like a human but has 4 arm with green colored skin that seems to be eating something. I moved my sight to what that that thing was eating and that it was my parents.

The thing seems to feel my presence and turn, "What do we have here a young child it seems like I'm in luck!" what it says did not go into my head as my sight did not move from my parents. Rage soon started to fill my body as took a nearby log and run towards the creature hitting it on the head, but it did nothing, "What do you think you're doing human!?" soon it grab me by the head swinging me around the house before it throw me through a wall sending me flying outside but stop when I hit a tree while still facing my house and soon I saw the creature walking towards me, anger is soon replaced with fear as my mind was telling to run but my body would not move, not just from the injury but also the fear of death. Once the creature reached me, it grab me by the neck then lifting me while smiling finding joy at seeing me struggle in his grip.

When I knew that I could get away, I stop my futile struggle and look my home behind the creature thinking of all the happiness I spent with my parents and regretting for not being there for both her parents and unborn sibling. Tears appears on my face as I closed my eyes accepting my fate but suddenly, I felt a presence coming towards us and the next think I know when I open my eyes was that I was in an embrace of an elderly man with a scar under his eye, I turn to where the creature was before to see that it has turn to ashes. I turn back to the elderly man when I heard him apologizing for not coming sooner. I did not know what else to do other than crying in his embrace until fatigue took over me while wishing that all of this were just a dream.
