Name: Zeff Taka

“Why
would they… think that I. That I would have killed my own parents!?” My hands
shook in fury before I outstretched them reasoning with my hands to an
imaginary family member. “It wasn’t me!
It was, that man with that grin! His grin that smirked as if knowing the pain
he was causing and his excitement and pleasure from all of it!”
“A
grin? That’s not much to go on young Taka; I don’t think your fellow clan
members would believe you. That alone will not save you from them, no. If you
want to return home, you need to remember more…”
“Yes?” The figure faded back into the illusion and
then reappeared behind and against me. One hand gripping my left while the
figures other hand was in front of me against my chest. The figures hands were
delicate and pale with slender fingers and long painted nails in maroon. “Go
on… young Taka.”
“They… They were yellow, gold like.
He seemed familiar but I couldn’t see his whole face at all. I remember is his
eyes and that grin, also how much blood that covered him. Wait why would you
care to believe me…?” Shifting in my spot realizing I was now stuck as I stared
at my captors Grey Eyes.
“Gold
like eyes? Nikkogan… Unlike your
ordinary red eyes, lovely as they may be if the true suspect had gold eyes and
they possessed the Nikkogan I am curious how you survived. Hmm?”
I
struggled under the Genjutsu users hold as I realized the illusion I was under
had faded. “You didn’t answer me first, why do you care if it was me or not.
Why would you believe me!?”
My
captor lightly smirked hidden by their hood. “I have been watching you Zeff
Taka, the “Black sheep” of the Taka clan. From what I have seen you have only
ever been a kind and helpful person. You have yet to explode out in rage that you
must bottle up against your family. Yet you only ever smile or nod and are
polite even when your cousin and distant relatives pick on you or look down on
you. It’s not in your nature… is it?”
“No it
goes against my nature to harm those I love.”
“There
is a way for me to truly believe you and for me to help you so they won’t
capture you. Many of the people who hunt you already see you as a black mark to
their name so I doubt they would even let you explain.” My captor took off
their cloak and hood and revealed a beauty hidden.
“I
figured you for female but I never figured you to be attractive…”
The lady smirked again. “Thank you Zeff.” She
stood in front of me as she started to smile before brushing her left hand’s
pointer finger on her bottom lip. “I’m Mayu, Lady Mayu and you dear Zeff remind
me of someone from long ago and that is why I am willing to help you. First
though I suggest we eat…”
