Progeny of Gyokuto
** With the Japanese God of the Moon, Tsuki Tsuki’s permission, Ginkachi and Ginnoji were being escorted by their mommy Helena to a realm where they could understand their origins. Helena had awakened their inner usagi yokai. And they then found themselves in a magical kingdom where they were surrounded by an abundance of bunny ears, this place which seemed to be isolated from the rest of the world was apparently called Lunaris Cottontail Woodlands.
Like the rabbits of Gensokyo, the rabbits here also cast attack magic naturally. Their other home had become overpopulated and this second one soon became he new home of a newer generation of usagi yokai and other were-bunny type creatures. The race from Lunaris Cottontail Woodlands were a mix of Lunarian Rabbits that with time became youkai and then merged with some humans to form their strange hybrid breeds.Ginnoji and Ginkachi would learn more as they continued their adventure with mommy Helena.**

*She opens her eyes and sees the amazing scenery which has a familiar feel to her.* Is this it? Have we arrived?
-
*he laughs at his sister’s obvious question.* Seriously sis! Look around! We’re definitely here! *he sticks his tongue out at her. He then begins to walk forward. And I believe we’ve been here before! So this is where we originated from. *he rubs his chin and then looks over to his mother.*
-
*She blows some steam out of her bunny ears and looks at her brother.* Why you!!! Damn sugar brat! It was just the shock that made me say that. Sticks her tongue out at him too! *She remains close to Helena and looks over to her.* Is it same to explore?

*Helena’s body was glowing. She was embracing the nature of the place when she heard her adopted ones speaking to her. Her eyes took on a pinkish tone and she looked at both of them tenderly.* This place is touched by the moon. This is where you will find your origins. There’s a legend that speaks of the compassion of a rabbit towards a shabby-looking old man that was practically passed out on the road. The story centered around the old man, the rabbit, the fox and the monkey.
Each animal went to get something of value to help the old man. The fox and the monkey were able to gather things of value but the rabbit couldn’t not find anything to contribute. So he asked for help building a fire. Then once the fire was lit, the rabbit jumped in. He sacrificed himself to help the old man.
Because of this selfless act of compassion the old man, revealed his true form as Taishakuten, one of the lords of Heaven. Taishakuten lifted up the rabbit and placed it the moon, in order that all future generations could be inspired by the rabbit’s compassionate act.

*Cries* That’s such a sad story! But I can’t see myself jumping into a fire to sacrifice myself. Damn and then he probably ate him. *shakes* So mommy! What does this story mean to us?
-
*She was listening intently.* I see! Mommy, I have heard this legend at the academy. I believe brother Leo was telling me it was about the Jade Rabbit. Does this mean…we descended from this legendary rabbit?
-
*She listens to them and giggles.* Hai! You are descendants of what are known as moon rabbits. But you’ve evolved greatly since then. I gave you a short version of the legend but if you wish to learn more about it. I’m sure you can find it at your school library. Just ask Yukio or Leo to help you.
This story is your heritage. You are more powerful than the average rabbits and you have gained also become a hybrid form of rabbit/yokai/human. Because your descendants lived so long, an evolutionary change came making the rabbits yokai. Some of these yokai intermingled with humans and created a hybrid. You will always have a strong connection to other rabbit types. This place is one of the safe havens offered to you by the moon god.

I see, this is making sense to me. So this may also explain our gentle, laid-back and carefree nature. Well, not completely care free. I feel special. *he chuckles* I’m a moon rabbit hybrid of sorts!
-
Mommy! But why were we removed from this world? Who are our real parents?
-
*She leads them to a special place where she turns around and holds both of Ginkachi’s hands.* See what I will show you now. *She then looks at Ginnoji.* Put your hand on your sister’s shoulder and open your mind’s eye. Your sister will communicate to you telepathically what I will show her from my visions. Are you both ready?
-
Hai! I’m ready! *takes Helena’s hand and sees something amazing*
-
*He believe’s he’s looking at his sis Ginkachi and his mother Helena.* Wait! What am I seeing here? Is this you two?
-
*she giggles* Focus Ginnoji! That’s not me, but she is the reason you were attracted to me and Gin love.
Those are your grandmother and the one with the dark hair is your mother. Your father was a silver haired rabbit. Your grandfather was human and your grandmother was moonrabbit/yokai.Living in an eternal and unchanging realm also causes moon rabbits to have strange mindsets by Earth standards – in particular, moon rabbits are said to have no real sense of duty or loyalty as humans would understand it.
Your grandparents and parents wanted you to have a more open mindset. So they headed out on an adventure into the human realm. But in those times the human realm was a dangerous place. Your parents and grandparents didn’t make the journey into our cruel world. But your mother was the last to fight her way closest to our village. She was wounded and dying but she left you both close to where we were sitting and hid away to die alone.
Gin love and I were sitting near a lake when you approached us and called us mom and dad. You had confused us for your parents. We were surprised and we took you in and called you our own. Later on, we discovered what had happened because of an investigation that my father-in-law Inu began and then came back and told us what had happened. It was such a tragedy we weren’t able to tell you until now.

*Ginnoji was shocked but he thought back and did remember being taken to the village but he didn’t realize his mother had died nor that other members of his family had perished so sadly.* So, they just wanted a different life for us! *his tears running down his face.*
-
*Ginkachi began to cry and broke the images in her mind as she released Helena’s hands so that she could wrap her arms around Helena and cry.* What was so bad with the old mindset? They didn’t have to die!
