Once upon a time...
T here was a woman named Tang Shen who lived a normal life in New York City.
But she didn't always live in New York.
Tang Shen used to live in Japan where she married the love of her life: Hamoto Yoshi.
Hamoto Yoshi was a very kind man who loved Tang Shen with all his heart.
They soon started a family together and Tang Shen gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named Miwa.
Tang Shen had never been happier in life. She lived this life for about six months until a very jealous man from her past by the name of Oruko Saki came and destroyed it.
Before she fell for Homato Yoshi, she used to be with Oruko Saki.
Oruko Saki was still upset about this and came to challenge Homato to a fight.
Tang Shen was proud of her husband when he stubbornly declined the challenge. She knew he would but then, Oruko Saki insulted Homato Yoshi on his new family.
This made Yoshi loose control and except the fight.
"Homato do not do this please! He is a foolish man for still hanging on to his anger, ignore him! Don't fight!" She begged him in Japanese.
"My wife he has insulted you and our wonderful daughter! I cannot let him say anything about you and Miwa and get away with it." He said in Japanese as he handed her his jacket.
The fight lasted for about 45 minutes and Homato lost. He was knocked out.
Shen tried to see if her husband was still alive but was punched in the face by Oruko.
She was too frightened to fight to fight back so she picked up Miwa who was still crying and ran all over the house dodging all of Oruko's attack
SHe was about to get punched again but then Homato came out of nowhere and kicked Oruko in the face.
"Get Miwa out of here!" He shouted as he took a hit to the stomach.
Shen started running to the back door but tripped on one of Miwa's baby toys half way there.
Oruko caught up to her took Miwa out of Shen's arms and quickly walked away.
Shen got up and punched Oruko in the face and snatched the baby back and ran all the away outside.
Oruko caught up with her again and kicked her in the stomach and punched her in the face.
Shen fell down and quivered in pain. Oruko took Miwa once again. And went back into the house.
Shen heard her husband grunt in pain after a moment o silence went pass.
Shen soon smelled smoke coming from the house and realized it was on fire.
"Miwa...Yoshi..." She whispered.
The last thing she saw was Oruko limping away from the burning house and heard was the cries of her daughter fade away as she slowly passed out.
After all that, Shen tried to live in Japan like she had before she met Oruko or Homato. But everywhere she went, something reminded her of her family and that always made her remember that horrible day.
Shen thought it would be best to leave Asia completely and move to the United States of America.
So she packed up her things, turned all her Japanese Yen into US Dollars, hopped on the plane and flew to New York.
She now lived in a small but decent apartment and lived a much happier and normal life.
But it wasn't gonna be normal forever...
