Hello! This is my first Anime/Manga based fanfic. I recently started falling in love with Anime and well, the creative juices tend to start flowing. I appreciate any and all critiques/reviews. Enjoy!

This is also set after "Conqueror of Shamball". It's a storyline definitely worth exploring and does not have a definite end. :) I hope you enjoy!

"Oh look, a pretty bird fell out of the sky," the man clucked his tongue and strode over the girl. She was lying face down in the alley. Where did she come from? He saw her fall from the sky. It didn't matter; it was a lucky day for him indeed.

"If you're planning on raping me, then you'll have to kill me," she spat and stood up. The man lunged forward to grab her and she rolled out of the way.

"Seriously? You think it would be that easy?" Raised her hands together and placed them on the water puddle; nothing happened.

"You crazy bitch, what are you doing?" Crazy or not, he still wanted her. He pulled out a gun and shot once. The pain seared through her shoulder and her gloved hand flew to the wound. The girl started to scream for help. Even with the echo the small alley provided, no one came running to her aid.

"You'll only lose her voice faster, little bird," the man came towards her again, "and just to show I mean business, I'll make sure you'll either leave with me or dead." He raised the gun again and shot the girl in her thigh.

"You will NOT hurt me again!" She screamed and tried once again, to activate her powers. Nothing happened and silent tears fell down her pale cheeks.

"I certainly am going to enjoy this, love," the man bent down and forced the girl to lie down on her back. Blood was pooling around her body, but he didn't care, he wanted her. He started to tear her shirt from the bottom, enjoying the sound of the fabric ripping. So close to what he wanted.

The girl would not give in and cry aloud; it was beneath her. She only prayed that she died quickly, so she closed her eyes. The man uttered a low moan and collapsed on top of her.

"Really?" She said through gritted teeth, "you try so damn hard to get me on my back and you die!"

"Maybe he was just knocked out?" Offered a voice; the man's body was pushed off of her and a teenage boy was staring down at her.

"I could've handled it," she mustered and tried to get on her feet. The pain from the bullets was severe and she could only sit up. Pain rippled through her body, she winced.

"Here," the boy said again, "you've been shot; I don't think you'll be getting up that easily." He studied her face, and she somehow looked familiar.

"I'm Jylissa, nice to meet yo-," her words were cut off as she collapsed. The boy shook his head.

"Stubborn people," he chastised and picked her up. What was he going to do with her?
