Yakumo, Sakurai

Sakurai was born on the 30th of June to Minori Amamiya, her mother, and Alexander Yakumo, her father along with her twin, Kukai. Her mother was of full Japanese descent and her father, of half Italian and half Japanese descent. Alexander's family, or clan, consisted of an elite group of hunters that would be taught generation after generation, raising the finest male hunters. When Alexander married Minori, he wanted a boy. Nothing more. Kukai and Sakurai were born, and Alexander loved him and hated her. Alexander detested Sakurai for being female and not male, shunning her totally; if there were two twin Yakumo males, it would affirm his clan's strength among the other clans. Although Minori would constantly tell her daughter that he didn't mean it, Sakurai knew he did. Minori was a caring mother to Sakurai, glad she was female so she wouldn't have to stain her hands with blood. Sakurai would train herself day after day to prove to her father that although she was female, she could surpass any male. She had anything but a gentle childhood thanks to her father. Her mother was honestly the only one that tended to her wounds, fed her, played with her, from birth until childhood.

Alexander detested Sakurai so much that even seeing Sakurai practice would only wretch his stomach, hating her even more for trying something that would only be futile in the end. He hated her persistence. When Sakurai turned 12, she immediately enlisted into the Hunter Association and steadily began rising ranks underground. No one truly knew who she was, let alone even know she was female. During her mysterious charade to the top of the Council, she was given the nickname "Hitogoroshi", meaning "Murderer" in Japanese. A couple of months after, on the way back to town from an assassination, she was apprehended. She was knocked out and taken away. When she came to, she realized her cover had been blown. She was in a forest miles away from her town, bleeding horribly with a broken arm and leg. She used her ability and teleported to her home, noticing the house and all of the rooms were empty. She managed to heal her leg and some of the worse injuries and got up to examine her silent house. She reached the back garden only to find blood splattered everywhere. Against the walls, on the grass, in the water. She fell into shock and looked around frantically, looking for her parents but only to see the garden littered with the corpses, limbs, and blood of woman and men. She spotted one of them, cut in half from the waist; her mother. Her father's family and her mother's family had come to visit her family for the week. They were all dead. Every single one of them. She recalled her brother was out of town, far far away from the massacre and she was grateful.

Only one family member aside from her was standing, her father. Her father held a gun firmly in his hand, his irises glowing an unfamiliar color; orange. He turned to face Sakurai and he put the gun to his temple and grinned a very psychopathic grin. Alexander walked up to her, a foot away and began speaking. "This would not have happened if you weren't born. Our family would have been better off without you... yes, I did this. I slaughtered the entire clan. Because of you", after he finished the sentence that would haunt Sakurai forever, he shot himself. Blood splattered all over Sakurai and her face was a horrid mess of different emotions running through. Confusion, despair, disgust, sadness, overwhelming mortification... these emotions only scratched surface. A moment after Alexander shot himself, hunters appeared at her house's garden only to see Sakurai tattered with blood, cuts all over from the apprehension beforehand and blood and bodies scattered about. Alexander knew she would come back after he had taken her away into a forest a ways away and beaten, cut and broken her an inch from her life. He framed his daughter and without her knowing, made her believe she caused this.

The Council immediately blamed Sakurai and because she was in such shock to what her father had said he did, she never denied the false claims. In her mind, she technically was the one that killed them. If she hadn't been born, it would not have occurred. Her parents would be happy and alive with Kukai, whom would be healthy. That is how she saw it. She was labeled as a black list hunter, a hunter who kills without consent to the Council. The council has recorded that Sakurai Yakumo "lost it in a fight with her family and went a rampage. She slaughtered her family in the most gory of ways, ripping apart their limbs and much worse that is classified into photos." Only Sakurai herself knows of what really happened that night and how she was framed. She grew up alone for a while after the massacre, her brother missing and hopefully alive. The Council reasoned with her and made a deal. If she continued to kill people that were on the list and obeyed every single order the Council gave without question, and without unnecessary killings that brought attention, she would be paid double what she was normally paid and given special permissions, not to mention anyone she knew would not be targeted as being associated with a murderer. She needed the money so she took up the offer. She left her town to continue her job at hunting down creatures, getting better and better at what she did, landing at Hokkaido Academy to earn even more money for her goal, more events occurring before her meet with the academy.
