• ninja Chapter 1 My Perilous Life
    Yes, I am a freak. I don’t know how I got these powers. I got them when my mother died six years ago. I could use my powers for good or bad. I chose to not use them only when it’s necessary.
    I thought I was a human but no. The rain poured down on the city and me. My hair soaked, I did not care about a thing, all of a sudden, a rush of feeling came into me, and I looked up, a scream of a girl shrieked out far away. No one even heard that. My wolf ears flicked as it traced the scream. I looked at the humans passing by, not giving a care.

    I flexed my leg muscle and made a high jump to the top of the building. The humans stared at me as I ran and jumped to the next building. The rain pounded on my eyes as I ran. It was cold and refreshing. A near moment of death is pouring into my mind, I knew this young lady could be in danger now. I jumped down to an alley. I looked at man standing front a little teenage girl. He was pointing a gun at her, asking for her purse. Her eyes was filled with fear, I walked up to the man from the behind. “Hey, what are you doing to her?” I asked the man, the man froze, and I twisted his arm backward, I pushed him down to the ground. The gun was dropped on to the ground. I picked it up, I pointed it at the man’s head, I spoke to the girl, “You may close your eyes right now.” She whimpered and closed her eyes. I shot the man, the blood was splattered as the bullet went through his head.
    The rain washed the blood away quickly. I bent down by knee, I searched for the wallet for I.D. of him. I snagged it out of his left pocket, and I opened it. I pulled out the I.D. card, he was Trabin Kent, what an odd name I thought. He was sadly 26 years old. He had died young because of me. The girl watched me reading the I.D. card. I made tiny laugh, well more like a scoff. Of course, I always kill people, which is a sad thing. I shrugged, I stood up straight, and the rain still continued unfailingly pounding on me. “You, are you alright?” I asked the girl, and she nodded feebly. “Wh-who are you?” The girl asked me, and I smiled. “My name is Ichigo-san but it is not my real name. And you?” I told her, the girl hesitated at first then she grinned weakly. “My name is Amarie-san. It’s nice to meet you, I am glad that you just saved me from a certain death, thank you very much.” She thanked me with her greatest gratitude. “It’s not a big deal. Just make sure you call the police station and be careful out there.” I said as I started to walk away. “Wait! Will I see you again?” She asked me, and I dipped my head down. “You probably won’t but you will see me when you die...” I told her, I hear her make a shuddering sound. “Re-really?” She asked me again, and I nodded slowly. “I am the Death Princess but I prefer being called Murder Princess.” I answered her, and ran away from the alley. “Hey!” A man yelled at me as I rushed through the crowd. I have accidentally bumped into him. “Sorry.” I spoke softly, and continued pushing through the crowd.
    The rain started turn into a drizzle. I looked at the people walk by front of me. I was sitting down against a shop’s window. My purple hair was soaked, the raindrops on my face has vaporized since I was standing there. A jingle of bell came at the shop’s door, a human walked out, he appears to be carrying something in his bag. My stomach rumbled, as I smelled the steam coming out of his bag. It was homemade cookies, just baked. I was starving, I don’t even have money to buy anything. I grinned a darkest smile ever. A marvelous thought appeared in my mind. I could even change into my wolf form, and beg for the food. The humans would surely mistake me as a big dog. I snuck into an alley, I transformed into my wolf form. I trotted out of the alley, looking like an innocent, stray dog.
    A baby child in the mother’s arms was laughing gently, seeming to like me as I trotted by it. “A stray dog? That’s not normal, we don’t usually get them here at downtown.” The mother spoke harshly as I walked farther from it. A man was sitting at a table, eating a sandwich. Bingo, that’s what I need. I ran up to him playfully, nudging him for the food. The man smiled at me, and he gave me a half of his sandwich. “Here, I don’t really need this.” He said to me, and I grabbed it greedily and ran away into the alley.
    I reverted back into my demi-human form. I munched on the whole sandwich happily. The bread was warm, and moist. It has been forever since I ate anything. I wished I had a place to live at. I always had lived outside ever since my mother died. My whole family is supposedly dead because of this mysterious young boy killed them all. I have seen it front of my own eyes. Oddly enough, the boy didn’t even kill me, nor wanted to kill me. But why my family has to be killed? The tears started to sting my eyes, and I winced at that. The drizzle died off, I was slouching against the alley’s wall. I chuckled darkly; I took off like a wind through the wind.


    As I ran fluently, I saw a figure standing on a building. It seemed to be an irregular form to me. I clenched my teeth and I made a hop, a skip then a giant jump upwards to the building. It started to rain again, I growled in frustration. The figure was a boy, a young one but he seemed older than me. He had black, sleek hair. His eyes were like bottomless pits as he turned around facing me. I had a flash of feeling that he was someone I knew, and he had hurt me well more like scarred me deep inside of me. He smiled, a dark, calm one. “Well, well, isn’t it Ichigo? Or is it Tamyra, the death angel?” He spoke mockingly to me. I felt my eyes narrow and I yelled, “Who are you? How did you know about me?” He chuckled, and dipped his head. “What do you think?” He said, cocking his head. “You-you’re the one that killed my family?” I yelled in horror and pain. “Sure. Now, I think I will test your powers or well strength to see if you can be not a weakling.” He said shrugging. He took one step backward on the edge. He stared at me with his pitch black eyes. “Bye for now.” He told me and he jumped off the building backwards. I gasped, my ears bent backwards and I ran to see if he had died or something but he didn’t. He was gone like a mist in a valley. “Hmm, how disappointing. He is not here to see you to perish under my wrath.” A female voice was cooing behind me. I perked my white ears up. I turned around. An elvish lady was standing at least ten yards away from me. She had a pink with red flower marking on the robe. She had a bow with a quiver full of arrows. She had blue, shiny hair. Her eyes seemed like oceans of heaven. She was smiling upon me. “Who are you?” I asked her, and she looked up to me. “I am Minria. I will be up for the service of the lord.” She bowed to me. “I have to test your powers to answer the lord’s question.
    I looked at her, and she was speaking so smooth. She was beautiful as well. I was surprised by her qualities. She was like a god sent angel from the heaven. “So shall we fight?” She chimed like a wind chime. I looked at her again. Her eyes seemed to draw me in her blue oceans. “Yes.” I automatically answered. She grinned softly and drew out her bow and arrows, and soon as the arrow was pointed at me. I wasn’t even paying attention to it. I was still drawn towards her beauty of her eyes. She chuckled, and a yell came out. “Ichigo, watch out!” It was a man yelling out from his hiding. I snapped into my attention and the blue, whirring arrow was flying towards me. I clenched my teeth together and made a dodging jump. The arrow missed me thankfully. “Now who told you do that? Who is it?” Minria hissed like a snake. I looked around to see who was it. I knew that voice but I might have been wrong. “It’s me. You know, if you’re going to kill Ichigo, you should go through me first.” The voice boomed across towards us. Minria-san growled in frustration, and I kept looking around to see who is he. At last the identity was found. It was Ryu. I sighed in relief. “Ichigo…Why do you always get yourself in danger?” He spoke as he walked out in the open.
    “You! You shouldn’t be like this. You don’t do kind of that stuff.” Minria said to him and she drew another arrow. She pointed to him, and said, “This will be your punishment.” I gasped and ran as the arrow was shot. I clasped my hands together and made a chop to the arrow in the middle. It fell on to the ground in halves. “Good save.” Ryu commented me, and I nodded with a grin. “No. This can’t be! That’s it! If you can’t be lured in, then worse will come.” Minria said to us, and I stiffened into my battling pose. She hissed like a snake and she started to shift and morph into a form that I couldn’t make out of. When she was finished, she had a complete form of a half snake and half lady. It frightened me, her eyes completely changed, and it was red. She had green shiny, metallic scales on her.
    She hissed like a dragon in a cove. Her fangs were showing, they were white, and sharp as a knife. “Ichigo, make sure you jab her at the chin!” Ryan gave me an advice, and then he tossed a dagger to me. I caught it, and Minria growled as she saw me with the dagger. I made a stance, waiting for her to attack me. “You will fail him for sure!” She hissed at me, I made a puzzled face. I didn’t understand what she was talking about. She chuckled and said, “You will understand about when you ask the lord.” She smiled, her fangs showed. I bared my teeth, I didn’t know how I would do this. Mostly I would faint at the smell of special kind of blood. I shivered and flattened my ears.
    “What’s wrong, sweetie?” She asked me. I closed my eyes, the only thing I could see in my mind is my family and my friends. I opened my eyes, my tears was blurring my eyes. “I promise to see your death front of my eyes because for what you have done!” I yelled at her, Minria made a sorrowful expression. Then in a flash, I have done it. The dagger ripped through her chin and back of her neck. “You-you… have…won…” She said her last word, she collapsed on to the ground, and her head was cut clean off. I have shed blood; I spilled her gruesome smelling blood. I crinkled my nose, I felt my head go light. I knew this kind of blood would make me faint. I shook my head, the ringing sound came to my ears. I collapsed to my knees. The rain continued unfailingly on my head and wolf ears. I closed my eyes and fall onto my chin.
    I blackened out. I heard Minria voice ring in my head, my mom’s voice, my elder sister’s voice, I could hear everybody’s’ voices in my head. An image appeared in my mind, a young girl was laughing, she wasn’t laughing at me, she was laughing with someone, I consumed it was a vision. She had light brown hair, brown eyes, she was wearing a school uniform and she was holding a CD player in her hands. Someone was talking to her. She didn’t hear it, then a man came behind her and shot her with a gun. I screamed in horror, and then the image went away.






















    I woke up in a hospital bed, an I.V. was stuck into my arm, the machine beeped rapidly as soon I was wide awake. A nurse came in rushing to see what wrong. “Oh, you’re awake! What a relief!” The nurse spoke as she fixed the monitor. “What happened?” I spoke but it was more like a mumble. “You fainted, and somebody took you here, and he said that you may have a fever and he will come back here to check out on you.” She told me as she scattered through some of the objects. “Oh..” I said, looked at the ceiling. He had left me in the hospital with humans? Why would he do that? I yanked off the I.V., and the nurse looked at me as if I were insane. “I do not have any fever, thank you for your help and bye.” I said, and ran off. The doctors and nurses were exclaiming loudly as I ran to the exit. I realized that I had a gown on me. I huffed, and ran out of the building. The people exclaiming as well when I ran through the crowd. The rain has stopped, and it wasn’t wet outside. I thought I might have been in the hospital for a day or two. I gasped, the girl in my dreams may die today. I grumbled since I didn’t have any clothes, but I thought a marvelous idea for myself. I looked for a clothing store, and I found a store named ‘Dress For Beauty’. I smiled a little and I walked in the store, a woman was about to greet me then she made a funny expression of me.
    Sure I was in a gown, I cocked my head and said, “May I borrow something?” The woman frowned, and I smiled weakly to her. “No, you have to pay for them.” She told me, and I made a false sigh. When the lady turned her back on me to walk to other costumers. I grinned and snagged a purple shirt and purple skirt as well. I saw sunglasses, a purple scarf, and I grabbed them as well. I smirked and when the woman turned around to see me. “What are you doing?!" She yelled at me, and I ran out of the building. I yelled back at them saying, “I will pay for them later!”
    I rushed through the crowd. I heard sirens, I blinked my eyes, and stopped running. Two police cars were running past by me, they didn’t see me, I was very lucky that I didn’t run into trouble. I bent my wolf ears backwards. I sighed in relief, people were looking at me suspiciously. I perked right up and ran into an alley. I looked for a cover. I saw an abandoned building, I opened the door, and it looks like it has been left for a long time. I walked quietly in the living room. The floor was a little dusty and furniture was left there as well. I shrugged off my gown and slid into my stolen outfit. I looked for a bathroom, I found it, and it was at the end of a hallway. I looked at myself in the mirror. I was like a schoolgirl that is like a queen of the girls. I scoffed in satisfaction. I looked around the abandoned building. It was nice, and it just needs some cleaning. I though that I should use this building as my home. I flicked my ears, I had this flooding feeling coming in my chest, I immediately knew that girl in my dreams is in danger of dying. I ran out of the building. People were murmuring as I ran through the crowd. There was police officers front of the crowd, and possibility looking for me. “Hey, this lady describes exactly what the thief is.” One of the men whispered someone else’s ear. I gasped, and growled. “Crap…” I muttered madly as the police officers snapped into attention and started to rush through the crowd to find me.
    “Hey there, you young lady! Stop and stay right there!” One of the police officers said to me and I squinted my eyes. “You are the one that stole the clothes?” He asked me as he walked up to me with handcuffs in his hands. “Yes, I did but I will pay for them later now I got to save someone!” I confessed to him, and he muttered something under his breath. “You are under arrest, sorry madam but you have to come with us.” He told me as he readied his handcuffs for me. “No. I am not going with you filthy humans!” I hissed at him and I turned around. I ran like a cheetah, people were yelling and the police officers were going back to their cars. I heard sirens as I ran towards where my feeling guiding me to. I huffed and I felt myself lurch as I ran. I gasped and fell onto the ground. I scraped my knees as I fell on them. The pain seared through my legs and my mind.
    The sirens got closer and closer. A laughing came out, a group of schoolgirls and schoolboys was walking towards my way.
    “Hari! You are too funny!” A boy commented one of the girls. All of the sudden, I snapped my attention; Hari is the girl in my dream. “Oh my god… Is that a demi-girl?” One of the blonde girl spoke as they walked closer to me. “She seems hurt or something! Let’s help her!” A boy yelled as they were just a few feet away from me. “Get away from here! Get away from here!” I yelled furiously at them. They stopped and stared at me. “No, I cannot let you die!” I told them, and they muttered something. I heard the sirens stop. I stood up straight, I looked behind me, and there were police cars and police officers front of my eyes now. I flicked my ears and heard a crunching sound like someone is walking on the gravel. “Umm, are you alright?” Hari asked me, and I shook my head. “No.” I whispered and I saw a shadow tower over me, it was the killer in my dreams. I turned and knocked Hari to the ground. I heard a bang and I was suddenly struck by something cold. I breathed painfully, I knelt down on the ground. My blood was splattered all over on the ground. I was hit in the stomach. “Oh my god! Oh my god!” They screamed as they saw me to bleed. The figure vanished like willow wisp. I held a hand on my stomach and took it off. Blood was on my hand. I was truly bleeding badly.
    “What happened?!?” The police officers yelled at us as they ran towards us. I groaned and squeezed my eyes shut. Bam, I was at the ground again. I was all cold and wiped out.

    Chapter 2 My New Job

    I woke up, I was in a hospital bed again, the monitor machine was beeping slowly, and I had an I.V. stuck into my arm. I moaned and a nurse was besides me, scuttling through some of stuff in the drawer. “Oh! You’re awake! How are you feeling?” She said as she saw me awake. “I am in a great pain now…” I groaned and she sighed. “Yes, having a gun shot wound is painful. I will get you a medicine for pain.” She told me, and I winced a little. “Also your friends are coming here now since you’re awake.” She spoke to me, and I got puzzled. “Friends? I don’t have any friends..” I told her, and she smiled. “You do, silly! You have a lot of others worrying about you.” The nurse told me and she walked off. My mind came clearly at last. There was loud mumbling come towards me. “Oh no…” I moaned and then there were same groups of students and other one is police officers.
    “You are fine! Thank goodness! You have saved my life, thank you! I owe you!” Hari was first one to say something to me. I grinned and said, “It’s nothing…” I flicked my ears, and I had this horrible feeling. “Ugh…” I groaned, my vision darkened. I saw the same man I saw on the top of the building where I fought Minria-san. He was holding a white rose with drops of blood on it. He smiled as he saw me. “Hello Tamara, or do you want me to call you Ichigo?” He spoke like a violin under the moonlight. “I heard that you got hurt, you were shot in the stomach. That must be painful…” He said smiling at me, I felt myself giving away for no reason. I fell on my knees, my stomach stung me coldly, and I felt tears filling my aquamarine eyes. “You did this to me, didn’t you? I will kill you for what you have done!” I yelled at him furiously, and he cocked his head.
    “I will heal you if you want me to…” He whispered to me, and I loosened my face a little. “Really?” I asked him, and he chuckled softly. He walked towards me, and knelt down front of me. “Yes, only for you.” He told me passionately, I gasped as his cold hand lay on my cheeks. “Did I introduce myself?” He asked me, and I shook my head feebly. He smiled sweetly, and I felt myself get more worn out every time I try to speak. “I am Ranso. The lord, well not technically a real lord but others always calls me Lord. Now relax, I will heal you.” He told me, I flexed my muscles and relaxed. He placed one of his head on my stomach, it felt surprisingly cold, and the pain went away. I fell against on his shoulder, he felt so cold, and I bet he wasn’t a human being as I thought. “You may go back and see the others.” He whispered in my wolf ears. “But, I want to know why you killed my family…” I said softly, and I felt him twitch. “You will find out soon enough…” He told me and then he vanished like a wisp.
    “No… Don’t leave yet…” I spoke then I saw light shining into my eyes. I snapped awake, and there was people surrounded me. I looked at Hari, she looked like a human being grieving over something, and so were others. “You’re awake but that’s impossible!” A nurse spoke as she was holding my wrist. “You came back to life?” Another nurse was asking, I got puzzled, and the nurse ran out of the room. “Oh my god…” One of Hari’s friend spoke as the nurse looked at my stomach, there were no wounds at all, no scars or anything. “I wasn’t alive when I blackened out?” I asked the nurse, and she looked at me as if I were a monster or worse an immortal defect of life. “Yes…But how this would have happened?” She spoke as she wrote on a clipboard. “Ranso must have brought me back to life…” I spoke then Hari snapped into attention. “Ranso-kun?” She asked me, she looked frightened for some reason. “Yes, he is the one that healed me, thankfully…” I answered her, and she whimpered like a cowardly dog. “No… He’s back… The Lord…” She spoke, her eyes were blank and her lips were quivering. I stared at her confusingly, and she ran out of the room. “Hari-san? What the hell wrong with her?” One of the boys murmured, and I started to slide off the bed.
    I snagged off the stupid I.V. tube, and I said, “I need my clothes right now.” The nurse obeyed me and handed me my stolen clothes. “May I have my privacy?” I asked the group and they walked out of the room. I put on my purple outfit, and put my sunglasses. I stepped out of my room, and started to run to the entrance. I swung my scarf around, and I ran to the direction where the scent from Hari. I flicked my ears, I heard a female crying, I knew that was Hari, and I walked in one of the dark alleys. I saw a figure of a small girl, brown cat ears stuck out of her head, a brown cat tail from her was lying on the ground. I couldn’t realize who she is. She was crying softly, and I said, “Are you Hari?”
    The sobbing stopped, her glowing pink eyes were boring out of the darkness. “I am Hari… You have found out my secret…” She answered back, I took on step to her, and she seemed to stiffen. “Don’t come any closer please!” She yelled at me hoarsely. I chuckled, and walked straight to her. “Do not worry, I do too have a secret, and it’s already spilled. I am too a demi-human as you know, and you are too. Now let’s go somewhere, why not over your house?” I told her calmingly, and she looked at me. She nodded, I pulled her off the ground, and we started to walk out of the alley. “Ichigo…Um… I can’t go around looking like this…” Hari said to me, she was still in the dark shadow off the alley’s walls. I flicked my ears, and said, “You’ll be just fine, besides you look different than your human form…” She looked me, she hesitated at first but she stepped out of the shadow. Her skin glowed beautiful, her cat ears were mellow looking, and her eyes glistened under the sun. “Okay, I trust you…” She spoke, and a wind whirled pass by us. I heard a dark laugh, and Hair scream. I turned around, and I saw Ranso grasping Hari. He was cuffing her wrists, and holding a knife up to her throat. Hari slid out of his hands, and gave him a barrel-chest kick. Ranso stumbled backwards, and he was frowning at her. “You’re pretty aggressive, more aggressive since when I changed you into a dem-.” Ranso broke up in his sentence. I was boring my dark eyes into him, and pressing my lips together. “Since you changed her into a demi-human girl, eh?” I spoke, frowning solemnly. Hari backed up, letting me to take charge. “Just like you did to me, and you are going to pay for all what you have done!” I yelled at him, and I did a somersault towards him, causing kicks into his face. He grabbed my foot and made me fall on the ground. I tried to get up but he held me down. Ranso was looking at my neck, he put a hand on it, and I growled. “Don’t you dare to touch-.” I broke off when he held up my heart-shaped necklace. Ranso was smiling, and looked at me with his dark eyes. “So Ryu made this for you? With a kiss, eh?” Ranso said, chuckling as he ripped my necklace off. He exhaled his cold breath on it. I gasped, my vision started to get blurry, my breathing became uneven, and I was going to die, wasn’t I?
    I was lying on the ground, twitching with unbearable pain. My necklace… contained every pain, every memories, every breath I made, and my life is in it. It is the only thing that could help me live. “Keh, I will give it back to you.” I heard Ranso replied to me, sounding disappointed. He tossed the necklace on my chest, and everything came back to me. I snapped my necklace back on, and I felt like I was good as new. “Hang on, I didn’t say you could leave.” I said, as I saw Ranso making his leave. Ranso stopped, and looked at me. He smiled, and said, “You look like you’re better, thanks to me, and I gave you more power in that necklace.” Ranso told me, and I narrowed my eyes. “What kind of powers?” I asked him urgently, and Hari was standing behind me, watching our every move. “Hmm, just figure it out by yourself, my little one.” Ranso laughed as he jumped towards to the top of a building. “Little one? Why you…” I growled, and I ran after him. I had this odd, little feeling inside of me. It felt really strange to me, like I have been intoxicated. “Ichigo, please don’t hurt yourself!” Hari called after me, and I nodded. My back started to ache, and I groaned. I heard this gurgling noise, and my back crackled strangely, like I am growing wings. Yep, you guessed it; I got wings, and thanks to the stupid guy who fooled with my necklace. My wings was at least thirteen feet long across, and they were black. Hmm, well let’s see how this goes. I looked up at Ranso, which who was smirking at me. “Enjoy it!” Ranso yelled at me, and ran off. Oh ho, ho, I am not going to let him go! I strained my wings up and down, like a bird does. All of the sudden, a rush came through my body and my feathery wings. I shot up into the air, leaving Hari, and my dirt cloud behind.
    Wow, this isn’t actually that bad, but Ryu probably will get mad about this… The wind ruffled my black, long, shining hair, and my black wings’ feather. I saw Ranso jumping onto the next building, running like a fluent gazelle, and jumping like a stealthy cat. His black overcoat fluttered like a raven as he ran. His black hair was ruffled but cute in some way. Wha? I am saying that he’s cute? I shook my head, and I kept flying after him. He stopped, and turned around. He looked at me with his dark eyes, and smirked. “Welcome, my friend here!” He said as a dark creature shrieked out as it appeared between of us. “Ta-da for now!” Ranso called good-bye and disappeared. I growled in frustration, he sure does like to taunt me a lot. The creature was ugly, and I mean it, it was sure ugly. It had disgruntled face, all scarred and banged up. He had yellowish, and anguish in his eyes that seemed to glow and he had fangs sticking out of his mouth. He’s like a bat-mutant demi-human boy or something like that. He had bat-like wings out, and flapping. “You don’t dare to steal Ranso away from me!” It roared at me, and it flew towards to me. I squealed like a little, puny girl, I twisted around and flew in the opposite direction. This isn’t what I had in my mind. I saw Hari standing on a building front of us. “Hari, help me!” I begged her as I above pass her. The creature screeched behind me, and Hari ducked. “I don’t know how to kill it! I don’t have any weapons!” Hari yelled at me, and I growled. I turned around, and the creature tackled me in the mid-air, causing us fall together towards the ground. He scratched me, and nipped me. I felt crushed when he smashed me into the street cement, the cement actually cracked widely, and I groaned. This creature is sure stronger than I thought. He was a tough opponent to face. “You’re a weakling, Ranso doesn’t deserves you!” The uglyling roared at me, and punched me in the face, causing me to have a lisp.
    Hari was running towards to us, and she delivered a face kick to the creature, and it roared in pain. I got up slowly, and painfully. “Owww…” I groaned, and the creature did not give up just yet. He ran towards Hari, and I gasped. Hari jumped over the creature and punched him in the stomach when he turned around. The humans were watching us fight this ugly creature. This isn’t good, that what I thought. My wings disappeared, and I started to flex my muscles again. Ugh, I did not feel good in my stomach, and it’s ain’t good! I looked at the creature trying to hit Hari but Hari keeps dodging his every hit. Then I heard a loud smack, and Hari was kicking at the creature’s face. “Hang on, Hari, let me try!” I yelled at Hari, and I jumped towards the creature, with one of my legs in the air. But the creature turned around and caught my leg. Bang, and the creature roared in pain. Did I just hear a gunshot? There was another one, and another one. The creature was bleeding, and kept holding me upside down. I slid out of his grip and did a crushing blow kick in his face. I heard a crack and groan. He slumped onto the ground. Now why didn’t I do that before?
    “Get to the ground now!” One of the police officer yelled at us, and I looked at them. They’re freaking morons, and they shouldn’t mess with the demi-humans. “Ichigo? What should we do?” Hari asked me, and I shrugged. “I will just beat the crap out of them.” I spoke, and I ran to hit one of the men, but someone blocked one of my blows. “Ichigo, why are you like that?” A young, and yet very handsome police chief spoke to me. He held my arm up, and looked at my aquamarine eyes. I blushed a little, and I asked him, “How did you know my name?” He smiled a warm smile at me. “I knew your family for a long time, and now it’s my turn to take care of you.” He told me, and my face fell. It’s him, the one who took care of me but yet I ran away from him. He was my step-brother, well my caretaker. I looked at him, and said, “Kaito, you’re back…” I looked down, and tears came up to my eyes. Kaito wiped one of my tears off my cheek, and I looked at him. “Don’t cry, my little one.” He spoke and he pulled me into his arms. He was hugging me so hard, that it hurt me deeply in my heart. He must have missed me badly. Hari was watching us, and so were the police officers.
    “Ichigo… are you okay?” Kaito asked me, and pushed me gently out of his arm. “Huh? Oh yeah, I am okay.” I answered softly, and he pulled me into his arms again. He pressed his lips on my forehead softly, and I blushed. “Ichigo. I need to go. My friends are probably worried as hell.” Hari told me, and I looked at her. “Go, that’s okay. Go ahead. I will see you again!” I told Hari, and she nodded. She gave me a quick, and small smile and ran off. “I see you have a friend, at last.” He said to me, with his chin on my head. “Y-yeah…” I replied softly, and I looking at the dead creature. There was a thunder, and the first few raindrops started to fall on us. “Oh my, it’s going to rain.” Kaito said, looking up to the gray, and cloudy sky. My stomach rumbled, and he looked at me. “Hungry?” He asked me, and I nodded feebly. It had been so long I have seen his face, now he looks older, and yet daring. Kaito wrapped one of his arms around my shoulders, keeping me close to him, and he was escorting me to his cruiser.
    “Don’t take her away…” A strong, male voice boomed behind us, and I realized that was Ryu. I broke away from Kaito’s hand, and ran into Ryu’s arms. “Are you okay? You’re bleeding a little…” Ryu spoke as he looked at my wounds. “Nah, I will be fine, it is just I have been attacked by one of Ranso’s dark creatures…” I told him, and I can see that he was making this pained face. “He tried to hurt you?” He questioned me, his voice seemed to crack up, and I looked up to him. “Ryu…I will be fine.. Oh, that’s right…” I spoke, and broke off the sentence, how will I be able to tell him that Ranso messed with my necklace? Giving me power to fly high in the relaxing sky. Ryu was looking at my neck, obiviously at my heart-shaped necklace. “Who is this, Ichigo?” Kaito asked me from the behind. “I am Ryu, and who the hell are you?” Ryu spoke harshly to him, and I gasped. “Don’t be rude to my elder brother!” I scolded him, and Ryu looked at me. “Elder brother?” Ryu asked me, wide-eyed. “Yes…” I answered, looking down at the black ground. “Of course I never told you about him, now you will know who he is. He was the one who took care of me but then I ran away, now that where you found me…” I said slowly, and Ryu looked at me with his blue eyes. “So, he is really your blood brother?” Ryu asked me, and I shook my head. “He is sort of like my caretaker…” I answered, and Ryu grabbed my shoulder, pulling me into his arms. “Do you think I will give you up to him?” Ryu whispered in my fuzzy ear, and I didn’t say anything.
    He was frowning at me, and I flattened my ears.
