A/N: This is my short Annin x Jurina+Rena ongoing. (Yes...I know another one XD I'm crazy ,but it's a little bit different because 'Forbidden flower' was Rena x Jurina+Annin) The fic will take place in an alternative universe and be written in a historical setting [Sengoku Era to the Edo period (1568-1615)] it may be a little hard to understand... Anyway, I based this fan fiction from an old Japanese folktale of the Bakeneko demon (http://obake.wikispaces.com/Devil+Cat+of+Nabeshima (http://obake.wikispaces.com/Devil+Cat+of+Nabeshima)), but became inspired by the beauty of AKB48’s Kodoko no Hoshizora PV.
Feedback & smiles would definitely be greatly appreciated ღ

The Vampire Cat of Nabeshima & Princesses of Hizen
Prologue | Night of the full moon
The silvery moon remained afloat up high refusing to hide behind the clouds that would shroud its powerful glow. Its ghostly light bleaches out the land into a pale replica of daytime, while the eerie sway of leaves in the wind sounded almost fomenting and riled.
Matsui Jurina slumped against the moldy surface of an ancient tree trunk and clutched onto her agonizing shoulder. The hot liquid of crimson seeped through her clothes, dripping down her fingers and caught in the fatigued state she slid down. Desperate, she attempted to catch her breath while sweat inched down her forehead, but a relentless rumbling in the earth’s soil forced her to continue on.
Jurina ran with the last ounce of her draining life force, until she dropped down to her knees in the spewed mess of broken twigs and crusted foliages. Horses neighed in the distance and the hunt of Nabeshima men drew closer and closer to the girl in the midst of her demoted flee. Vulnerable and out blatantly in the open grounds of the mountain forest, the finalities of her breath seemingly came nearer to its end.
Hooves that dug restlessly into the dirt came to an abrupt halt and one by one an army of horsemen’s surrounded the girl. Guided by the light of flaming torches they glared down on her armed and hostile. “We’ve caught the demon!” The voice of a man roared out victoriously.
Among the last to arrive on the scene, their princess stepped down from her single white horse and with her beautiful weapon in hand walked to the center. There was still a great distance between the two enclosed by the group, but an indescribably gloomy aura radiated off into the night.
“…I told you not to be found.” As the princess spoke up in her smooth yet despairing voice, the person on the ground looked up with saddened eyes.
Rena, the princess of Hizen advanced her longbow elegantly into its attack position. As she drew back on the crackling string her vision focalizing onto her target…the victim merely gave a small smile, already accepting her fate.
The spiteful façade had shattered almost immediately and the princess began to tremble slightly. A secretive aching deep within her chest intensified and soon thereafter a tear made its escape, rolling down her cheek…
Before Rena could release the arrow though, “Stop, don’t hurt her!” a familiar voice interrupts the execution. Annin pushed past through the horde of warriors with her lungs flamed achingly against the hectic pounding in her chest and made her way on over to Jurina. Standing in front of her lover she scanned the onlookers pleadingly.
“Miya-sama, we’ve come to your rescue. What is the meaning of this?!” One of the horsemen’s questioned out his confusion to their younger princess.
Annin hesitated for a second but with a short glance to the girl behind her, a surge of courage soared through her body. “I…I’m in love with this person!”
Rena lowered her bow and blinked up in surprise.
At the outrageous confession, everyone cried out in blasphemy. “Miya-sama, this is treason to his majesty!”
Rena bit onto her bottom lip and felt a twinge of anger begin to brew from within her as she let out a low growl. “Move aside Annin...” She repositioned her weapon.
Annin tightened her grip on her own longbow and shook her head no.
“Hurry!” Rena yelled.
Annin was shaken by the uncharacteristic outburst of her beloved sister, but stood firm. When Rena pulled back on the string of her bow though, she readied her own identical weapon and aimed at the threat in anguish.
Rena widened her eyes in shock. “Are you mad?! I…I’m your sister!”
“Have you already forgotten what these monsters had done to your mother lady O Toyo?!” Equally as shocked, the fired up men retaliated in a furious uproar.
“…I haven’t forgotten.” Annin’s eyes shimmered. Her tears reflected off the illuminating glow of the moonlight and pulled back the arrow pinned onto her string.
Time stood still as the evening breeze whirled around the crowd of people and the two princesses locked their gazes full of tension onto each other. Neither one nor the other even thinking to lower their weapons and in that moment the delicate leaves of cherry blossoms made their ironic fall, drifting down most beautifully onto a scene that was just about anything, but that…

A/N: I wanted to try writing something different and decided this kind of fic…Is it unfitting? For anyone who is wondering, I already have the next two chapters of this story written down. However, I will not be updating the fic on here after this and that goes with all my fics. I also have the next chapter to ‘A Forbidden Flower’ & ‘Candlelit Smile’ updated, but they won’t be available until probably next week when my blog is finally up and running^^ A link will be provided, but please wait for it and continue to support this random author lol. Thanks so much all my readers, I love you guys very much!
