394. Everything Lost

Kaguya's face fell. She looked at her mother and pleaded, "Mother, please say something. What is father saying?"

But her mother stayed silent. Instead, her father spoke, "No, she won't say anything now. She's the one who's been spoiling you all this time. I have taught her a good lesson. Now, do as I say or both of you will die. Our clan is blessed with a long life, I can always have more children."

"AAAAAAAAA..."

Kaguya heard the scream and turned to look at her brother. He was running towards her sloppily with a sword in his hand.

Her first instinct was to defend. It was like muscle memory.

*Clank*

Their swords clashed and created sparks. She expected for him to stop then but he didn't. He spun with his sword and tried to cut her stomach. She again tried to block the attack.

*CLANK*

But, she noticed Kuma had instead jumped to hug her suddenly.

Soon, the realization hit, her eyes widened in horror and fear. She then heard a whisper in her ears, "I-I am sorry, big sister... I love y-you."

The next moment, Kuma's body fell down. He had jumped onto Kaguya's sword voluntarily and stabbed himself in his heart.

Kaguya blankly stared towards the empty space in front of her. The whole world had gone silent to her small ears. Her tired body finally fell down as if there were no bones.

She looked at the lifeless body of her brother that still had its eyes open. She was broken. The remaining glow from her face that a child should have vanished. Her eyes became like there was nothing. No expressions, no feelings.

*CLAP CLAP*

"Splendid. Strive for strength and you can have all the happiness you want, Kaguya. You will be my successor. Your training will start tomorrow." He announced as if he had done a great deed and left her alone in her sorrow.

Finally, tears started flowing down from her expressionless face. She crawled up to her brother's body and caressed his white hair. All she could feel was the cold body. She then finally closed his eyes.

"Mama, I want to kill father," She resolutely spoke.

Feeling strange why her mother wasn't talking or even moving even now. She walked up to her weakly and lightly nudged her shoulder.

*BAM*

The next moment, the sound of something falling on the floor came. She looked down and felt her scalp tingling.

The severed head of her mother rolled near her small feet. Its dead open eyes looking at her face. She started hyperventilating and fell backward in shock.

"WHYYYYY..."

In an instant, her already broken mind was destroyed and became a blank slate.

She screamed at the top of her lungs. She kept shouting for a while and then curled into a ball and silently cried with her eyes closed.

After that, there was just darkness, a little sound of sniffs, the feeling of tears and a sense of total loss.

[Memory Ends]

Alexander felt jolted and had to take a step back to not lose balance. He looked back at the curled up girl.

~She is dreaming about darkness while living in it. No wonder she has trust issues. Poor child.~ He muttered to himself. He was angry and saddened for her. The things her father made her go through were something no child can go through without scarring their little minds.

Alexander then went ahead to check his theory about why she became evil. So, this time instead of seeing her dream he looked into her memory.

He found out that after the incident, she really trained every day for the next 20 years. Then finally she was sent on a mission to Earth.

Kaguya arrived on Earth with Isshiki Ōtsutsuki to harvest a God Tree of its Chakra Fruit, which she was to provide for the main family of her clan from another world.

~Oh, there was another one who came with her.~ Alexander exclaimed.

After spending some time on earth which was filled with fewer humans and more animals, she developed an attachment for the planet she was meant to destroy. She liked the simple-minded animals and people. She felt a feeling reignite in her heart. The feeling of wanting peace. Seeing that she was dimensions away from her home words, she made a decision.

She betrayed Isshiki in the process and left him for dead. Later she was discovered by the people of the Land of Ancestors, who brought her before their emperor, Tenji.

Identifying herself as the God Tree's guardian, Kaguya used a mysterious power to wipe Tenji's memories of the encounter and subsequently settled among his people, becoming recognized as his concubine. Growing closer to the emperor, she eventually fell pregnant.

Later, as told by Hagoromo and Hamura, she was betrayed by Tenji. But she still wanted peace. So, she ate the Chakra fruit and cast the infinite Tsukuyomi to stop the wars and slowly unite the world by releasing people from it.

But, at the same time, Alexander felt her mentality shift a little. Somehow, a person who only wanted peace started developing the signs of all the seven deadly sins. It was as if something had corrupted her.

Then she gave birth to her children. She loved them wholeheartedly and was happy to have a life she always desired. But when she found out they could harness the chakra, her mind started changing. Often seeing her sons with doubt.

She became emotionless regarding humans and considered them ants. Even though her good friend who gave her life for her was a human. It all didn't make sense.

That was enough for Alexander and he retracted from her mind.

Looking at her calm and scared sleeping face, thousands of things went on Alexander's mind. ~It is for sure that she wasn't originally a bad person. Probably that evil chakra fruit made her that. But she has also killed millions by casting that infinite Tsukuyomi. What should I do with her?~

Alexander then focused on the first problem. He needed to get the Chakra fruit out of her system and check its properties.

~Ah, didn't my eye have something like this? If I can absorb any power, I should be able to take the Chakra Fruit too.~ He thought.

He activated his eye and intensely looked at Kaguya. Soon he felt a connection being established. He saw Kaguya's eyes twitching a little so he put a sleeping potion on her.

After a few minutes, he saw Kaguya's third eye disappearing and now Alexander had a third eye.

He took out a mirror and looked ~Ah, no no no... Olivia will hate this. Ewww, this is ugly. I also don't want to wear three-panel glasses.~

He then used his eye's power in reverse and willed for the Chakra Fruit to appear in his hand. Little by little, a fruit started to form like it was being 3D printed.

~Ah, this looks like some kind of a peach. But uglier~ He thought.

Once he had it all in his hand, he made sure that Kaguya was still sleeping. Then he retraced himself from the Ten Tail's husk.

"Alex, What the fuck, where did you disappear to? I looked for you across this whole galaxy." Ragnarok shouted.

Alexander was surprised, "What? I thought only my consciousness went inside the husk."

"No boss, you disappeared soon after you started," Dobby added.

"Hmm, well, I saw a few disturbing things about Kaguya's past. You two boys probably want to know about it. Maybe you will understand why she felt so emotionless. I also took out the Chakra fruit from her and now will test if it was the reason for her changes. You all stand guard here. Dobby, take this electric pensive. I have put my memory in it. I'll be back in a minute." Alexander rushedly said and handed it to him and disappeared to Phixheim.

In the meantime, Ragnarok, Dobby, Hagoromo, and Hamura saw the horrors Kaguya went through.

"Mother..." Hamura sadly muttered seeing Kaguya crying during the childhood incident.

...

Alexander came inside Phixheim and went to his lab. He took out the Chakra fruit to test it. But then he noticed a change in it.

"Dammit, I should have thought this through" He cursed at himself.

(A/N: I truly think Boruto anime is going to have Kaguya appear in the future and she will help them fight the main Otsutsuki clan.)
