Note: *Randomly makes a new story out of nowhere* This was a plot-line I originally wanted to incorporate into Miracle: A Persona Remix. I thought it wouldn't fit too well with it though... I mean it's really uh... dark. So it's here! Have some angst...~ As for how this fan fiction will go, I can't give all of that away now can I...~? 

-----------------------------------------

    It was a special day. Nothing was suppose to happen on Minako's birthday. Then why was life so cruel? His father was steering the car along to their aunt's home. They were celebrating his sister's birthday there for a reason the blue haired boy couldn't quite place. He was getting rather impatient, which his sister giggled quietly next to as a response.

    "Papa, are we there yet?" Minato asked. His father shook his head and he pouted in retaliation. That caused a chain reaction where Minako began to laugh hysterically. Maybe it was because she realized this was a reference to the movie they watched earlier. 

    If only he didn't do that.

    Before he knew it, the car skidded to a halt and his sister immediately flung herself over him. Everything was blurry after that, but he woke up in a hospital bed. His family was nowhere to be seen and he wanted to scream. Except he couldn't. 

    His eyes widened when he realized what happened. They died. All three of them. Minako shielded her little brother to prevent him from getting hurt. There were still numerous cuts on his arms, but he was alive. His sister took almost all the damage for him. 

    Minato trembled in his bed. He was all alone. For the second time, he wanted to scream to cope with their deaths. Anything to get rid of the awful feeling inside of him. He couldn't. That was when he realized, his voice was gone. Panic overcame the boy and the wires that were attached to his legs didn't help either. Two nurses came into the room in his distressed state and they looked horrified. One of them quickly ran out the room to get a doctor. 

    The other nurse that remained gently pat his head. She reassured him it was going to be fine. No, it wasn't. Nothing was fine. He lost everything. None of his relatives would adopt him either since they all despised his family for obtaining his grandfather's fortune. Then he realized, this was their plan. That was why they invited them to their aunt's house to celebrate. The car crash was all planned by them. 

    Hatred fueled his mind for the next few weeks. As he expected, his relatives were angry he was still alive. They approached him with smiles, but the boy saw through their ruse. They were disappointed, frustrated, annoyed, and spiteful. Oh, how he would have loved to give them a taste of the pain he was experiencing. However, perhaps he did. He was the one obstacle that they couldn't get rid of now. He would be cautious wherever he goes and they all knew that their chance of obtaining the fortune was gone. 

     So he wasn't surprised when someone came in with a small dagger. Minato smiled in a twisted way towards his assassin. "Hello, Minato. You know why I'm here." he stayed silent. The blue haired boy knew that his assassin knew he couldn't speak. He was going to torment him before his death. "How does it feel? To be the only person left?" there was no response. He couldn't respond no matter how much his blood was boiling. He hated being mute. He wished that his voice was back. "Well... I hope you enjoyed the pain." Minato bit his lip and waited for his assassin to kill him. He would be free from all sorrow, anger, and pity. 

     He closed his eyes and didn't flinch when the door opened with a loud click. That nurse from three weeks ago appeared with a gun in hand. She pointed it towards his assassin. "I don't think you should bully six year old boys. That's rather insensitive of you," she stepped forward causing the killer to back towards the wall. 

    "W-who are you?!" he took a hold of Minato and brought the dagger to his neck. The blue haired boy could feel cold metal slicing his burning skin. 

     The nurse smiled and stated before the assassin's final moments, "I'm Kai Mizu. That is all you need to know," 

     Minato could hear the gun being triggered and a bullet hit its target right in the forehead. The boy was shaking as he fell to the floor. Tears were threatening to spill from his eyes until the nurse came to support him. "Y-yeah. I had to cross-dress as a girl. Seriously, that was awkward. I mean, people always said I looked like a girl, but that was something else. At least you're okay." Kai said as he gently placed a hand on his shoulder. Minato gave a curious look, "You see, Kai is an old friend of your family," his index finger pointed towards him, "your mother and father knew this was going to happen at some point, so they assigned me to protect you. I'm sorry you had to go through that." 

    For the first time that month, Minato finally smiled happily. Though with that smile, came a feeling of being empty once more.
