Shade's Past: The missing ten years revealed

The Child and the Hermit
Shade Kagekyo, a child with black hair, crimson eyes, and a stoic facial expression, was walking through a small town. There were very few people in the area, that was fine with him. "How many families has God destroyed for no reason, other than to prove His existance?" He wondered. At eight years old, he was devout, but recent events changed his veiws. All of a sudden a man came to him asking if he wanted food and shelter for the night. The young boy gladly accepted the offer, lacking a job and money for the same. Shade told the man his story, not wanting sympathy, but understanding. Afterwords, the man gave Shade his name, Inori (Prayer). After Shade introduced himself, he asked Inori what he thought about God, to which the older man replied that God is everything, and to disobay Him was ruining your soul. Shade refused to see it that way claiming, "God ripped my Father and my Mother away from me! Why praise a Man who would cause that? Tell me. Please..." The young child was distought, and sleep soon came upon him, soothing him. Inori carried Shade into his room, and slept on the couch.

When Shade awoke, Inori made breakfast, and would not let a new day be wasted on what was said before, "If you do not stop trying to prove me wrong about God, I will cast you out." was his final say on the topic. Shade promtly apologized for his actions, not wanting to leave a man who would continue to rase him through the next few years.
