Prologue

In an empty park at midnight in the middle of summer, usually, nothing happens. With everyone at home sleeping, playing games or just watching Tv. But not tonight. At the stroke of midnight, a rainbow colour portal opens and two figures steps out of it. One was a male in his mid-teens between the ages of 15 to 17, standing at around 1.65m to 1.7m tall, his clothes torn up in a lot of places but still mostly intact. But the most noticeable thing was he is holding in his right hand is a sword. The sword is just more than a meter long from the tip to the pommel, it shines silvery under the moonlight. The sword was decorated in gold and blue cross guard. On his hip is a beautiful scabbard which is also decorated in gold and blue but with some ancient writings. With his brown coloured hair covering the top half of his face. He turns to his companion, who was holding his left hand.

A female child no older than 5 with an unnatural purple hair and eyes, looked into his brown eyes with a blank face that shows no emotion at all. With a heavy sigh, he turns to the sky and said "Well he kept his promise of returning me home. I surprised that you wanted to follow me back." He then turns to the young girl and asked her "Are you sure that you want to stay with me?" The girl simply replied to him "Yes". He then said "Okay then. From now on, your last name won't be Matou anymore or Tohsaka. As a promised to your uncle Kariya." He sheaths his sword into his scabbard and bends down to his knees. All the while of never letting go of the girl's hand. He then looks directly into her eyes and said: "From now on you will be Hyoudou Sakura, my daughter." Then he proceeds to hug her.

The newly name Hyoudou Sakura can only blankly stare at him. Unable to process what he was saying. But even if her face shows no emotion. Tears start falling. 'There is no reason why I should be crying' the girl though. The boy no the man continue hugging the child, comforting her and whispering "It is okay to cry. To show your emotion. Here you are safe from that worm bag grandfather of yours. Let it all out." Soon the dam broke and the girl began to cry. Crying on why her birth family abandon her. Why they send her away but kept her older sister? Why did her foster family torture her? Why her foster grandfather tossed her into the pit of worms? Why did her uncle Kariya trying so hard to save her? Why did her uncle die saving her? Why did the man in front of her go through so much to save her? Why did the man try so hard to keep his promise to her uncle? Why, Why, Why is all the girl could think about.

The man and child stay there for a while. [Partner, you should start to move. There is no telling who or what may be lurking around here.] Said a deep booming voice in the man's head. [You are right Ddraig.] The man replied. With a wave of his right hand both the sword and scabbard disappear into a strange red gauntlet. And to the red gauntlet disappeared. The man then picks the girl up and noticed that she is no longer crying. Decided to take a closer look at her. He found her to be sleeping. His adjust his grip on her to make her feel as comfortable as possible. He then proceeds to walk out of the park and towards the resident area. The man said, "Let's go home Sakura." As he walked. Unnoticed by him the girl made a small smile in her sleep.
