Lena's POV

I'm in pain...Ema...Ema are you okay? I know you can't hear me, but please stay strong! I slowly opened my eyes to see Kaito carrying me. I winced in pain because of the injury on my side.

"Lena, be careful...are you alright?" Kaito asked curiously peering into my face.

"I'm alright...just hurts a little," I winced again, "Or a lot..." Kaito stopped and put me down. I noticed that the others are stopping as well. We were by a river bank in the forest; it was about the afternoon, but a dark cloudy afternoon. It seems if the sky was almost ready to let loose some of the rain, but we were headed to another refuge. This time a lab.

Our main objective before we met the other boys was to get to the lab and find a lab experiment that will prevent us from turning into a zombie and infecting the rest of the population. Kaito, Komui, Ema, and I were determined to find this "savior" to save people. The place we are on is a very large piece of land that sits in the ocean like any other island. We lived here for as long as I could remember. I made many friends here on the island, but they suffered from the experiment that was being diagnosed at the time. The 4 four of us lived here with the virus already spread for almost 3 years. I'm 17, so by 14 I had to know how to use a gun and other weapons. That's what my dad was for...

My dad was an amazing man; to me he was. I will never forget him nor mom...I always refer my dad as 'sir' or 'papa' and my mom 'ma'am' or 'mama'. Ema refer them the same way and we loved them dearly. On the other hand Kaito and Komui had a hard time with them. They called them by their first name and always talked back. They weren't spoiled like us, but here's why. When Mama and Papa were married they wanted 2 baby girls. Instead they got the 2 babies of the opposite gender, boys. They raised them for a long time; Mama hated the fact they were "nerds" and Papa did as well. They wanted them to go out and play sports and video games like normal kids, but they wanted to study and explore the world. They said playing sports will get them hurt and playing video games were boring. Mama was outraged and Papa called them a disgrace to the family. They left for 15 years studying and finally came back to find 2 little girls; Lena and Ema. They didn't want anymore work or to deal with the family, but they simply enjoyed having them.

Ema grew up trying to study as a doctor in a medical school, but dropped out and went to study law. Papa was pleased because Ema was a normal girl who want to follow in the family footsteps. I, on the other hand, did the same went to medical school longer than Ema, but dropped out because I wanted to study law too. I then dropped out of that as well and went to study becoming a teacher. Mama and Papa were delighted with my final decision. I studied for a while until I hit 13 and a half almost 14. The virus was released, and Papa and Mama had to take desperate measures in protecting their beloved children. They taught us survival and how to use weapons, and that's how it was for awhile until we were captured by the cannibal people. They should no mercy unless you joined them.

The way you gain entry to the side of the cannibals is you have to sacrifice a family member or try to kill one of the cannibals who apparently can kill you in 5 minutes with your guard up. Papa attempted this and passed, but the man he killed, his family went on revenge and killed him and Mama. Kaito and Komui decided to flee with us because they would've want us to live. So we fled and we made it to a tree...The same tree we were at. We stayed there for half a year and then we met the boys. Our lives have changed and we want to change it again, but we have to be careful. Like what Papa says, "You have a reason to live...you were given the opportunity to live life...no matter what tired and strive for the best." I would always respond with, "Okay, Papa!" or "Thank you, Papa. I love you." He was always there to cheer me up and now he's gone...along with Mama. Mama would say, "Lena, my little beautiful butterfly, always soar your little colorful wings and you can get by." I loved them so much, but they slipped from my grasp and they are in the sky watching me and Ema and smiling for ever little thing we do.

Regular POV

Lena sighed. Ema glanced to her, "Are you alright? Did you think about Mama and Papa, too?"

"Yea...Just some fuzzy memories now, huh?"

"Yep...I'm sorry..." Ema said looking down into the water.

"What for?" Lena asked looking at her.

"For getting you hurt! I shouldn't have run off like that..." Ema sighed. Lena smiled.

"I'm glad you feel that way. Thanks Ema." Ema and Lena smiled at each other. The boys were watching from a distance.

"They are really close family members, aren't they?" Yoshitsune asked the boys.

"Whatever, we still can't trust them. That maybe their bond, but they can be danger." Hyuga huffed chewing on gum.

"I agree. They could be plotting something..." Noritsune sighed.

"True, but they don't seem to be traitors...do they?" Goyo asked.

"I'm not sure, but they are cute." Enya grinned. They sighed, 'He's not helping...'

"We need to get in contact with the others..." Mizuki said. Yoshitsune nodded and pulled out a walkie-talkie.

"Come in. Come in, Sohma, Benkei, Kazamase. Do you copy?" Yoshitsune said with hope.

"We come in, Yoshitsune. Are you all alright?" Kazamase asked.

"Yes we are fine...We ran into some people who will help us." Yoshitsune replied.

"Very well...Where might you be, sir?" Kazamase asked.

"We are...Where are we?" Yoshitsune asked. They all shrugged.

"We are near the Vanilla Fields and the Orange County...They should be providing Vanilla beans and other foods now. We need to stock up. Then we are leaving to go back to our base." Komui said. Yoshitsune had the device on and Sohma replied, Very well... We are near the county side. I assume you would be near the Vanilla Fields. We will meet, until then good bye.." Then static was heard.

"Let's move on...We won't get anywhere if we sit here." Kaito said." They got their stuff and trailed behind the Asahina brothers and the three "mysterious" boys they met.

^3^)^3^)

Vanilla Fields/Orange County

Afternoon; 12:30

"Where could they be?" Noritsune sighed upsettingly.

"I hope they make it..." Hyosuke said.

"Same here...Excuse me Kaito...could we wait here a bit longer?" Yoshitsune asked.

"Fine...Only 15 more minutes then we have to get moving..." Yoshitsune nodded in agreement.

Then they heard a engine and they saw Sohma, Kazamase, and Benkei in a truck. They held weapons and the truck looked as if zombies were banged against it.

"There they are!" Goyo said excitedly. The others looked and started walking away. Hyosuke captured a glance of them. He then dashed after them.

"Hey! Hey! Where are you guys going? Are you going to come with us?" Hyosuke asked. Komui sighed.

"I'm sorry, but we have to move on now."

"But you can come with us...Do you not trust us?" He looked at Lenalee and she smiled a small smile.

"I trust you..."

"Lenalee!" Komui snapped.

"What?! Can I not trust them?!" She furiously looked at him.

"No...you can't! Mom and Dad-"

"Mama and Papa would've been fine with whatever we chose! They would've trusted them too!" Ema said helping her sister.

"No not you too! Look mom and dad are just crazy uncaring people! They-" Komui argued back but was cut-off.

"Shut up...Shut up! They didn't do anything wrong! They loved us too much and now they're dead! They're gone! They...aren't...coming...back..." Lenalee cried.

Komui looked at her without sympathy, "Let's just go Kaito...They want to die...Then let them...They'll learn and they'll be with Mom and Dad..." Komui turned the other direction and Kaito and the other boys followed. Lena and Ema, on the other hand, were a mess and they were left behind.

"Come on, Lenalee, Ema...Let's go our own way...together..." Hyosuke said. They looked at him and nodded.

"Okay...Thank you..." Lenalee smiled with teary eyes.

^3^)^3^)

"Where are you guys headed anyway?" Enya asked.

"We were headed to a lab where the experiment started..." Lenalee said. Ema was sleeping beside her, and Lenalee sat in the trunk of the truck with Goyo, Hyosuke, Enya, Mizuki, and Ema. The others were inside since there were about six seats inside.

"Why?" Mizuki asked.

"Because that was my father's idea and he said if there is a start there has to be an end, meaning there has to be an antidote or something." Lenalee sighed.

"You really love your parents, don't you?" Hyosuke commented.

"Of course! I looked up to my father and learned from my mother...they were very dear, but Kaito and Komui think they are selfless people..." Lenalee said clenching her fists.

"Why do they think that? If you think of your parents so fondly?" Goyo asked confused.

"Because something happened before I was born..." Lenalee sighed, "I'll tell you why my brothers hate my parents so much...So get comfortable..."

They moved in more comfortable positions.

"When my parents married...they had wanted two baby girls. Instead they got baby boys..." Lena explained the whole story to them...((Read the paragraphs above if you haven't already...))

"Wow...That's shocking..." They were all moved and shocked. They felt sorry for them.

"Yea...I get that a lot when I tell it..." Lenalee smiled slightly, "We should rest...So we will be ready for action as soon as we get there..."

They all sleep...all but Hyosuke.

'She really has hard...Harder than I do...I wish I could do something for her...but I can't...I'm useless and a cold person...' Hyosuke then drifted off to sleep thinking about Lena.

Hyuga and the others inside the truck heard the story and were moved. They wanted to make sure Lena and Ema are truly safe...just as their parents would have wanted them to. They continue their journey, but what they don't know are a rocky path lying ahead of them...
