Prologue

The baby opened her brilliant green eyes. Blinking she took in the world around her. Her mother smiled like the angel and now mother she was. Slowly her lifeblood and force drained out of her and she died. Puzzled the little girl stroked her mother's cold still face. Her father burst in to find his wife dead.

"Why did you spare this half-breed mutt but not my angel of a wife," he muttered. "I'll make life a misery for that child, that Itami." The child slowly turned as though hearing her name. "Yes, your name is Itami. I swear in a demon's blood oath in my wife's blood that I'll make her wish she was dead!" He raised his fist crimson and dripping in the still warm blood.
