Author pre-story notes:

Well I am going to try a new thing to spice up my fics. I am adding songs to certain scenes. Like Sakura Taisen did. For example the episode nine when Maria recalls when she meet her captain. I have showed Benji humming, singing and hearing to many songs, in different occasions. Well I just love hearing musing when I am on the computer, when I got outside my house I always carry my CD player so I can listen to it when I walk, when I am not watching TV or anime on my computer I always have the winamp on with my favorite playlist. For example if I stay too long with out hearing music I began to think on music or sing. I will place the songs that suit more the scenes. Try hearing it sometime. If you can listen to the song when reading the scene might be even better. Sorry for taking too long. Now we can return to the normal fic.

Chapter two: Two flowers in a run and a child doll

Near of the Kanzaki family household 6:32 AM

Sumire and Maria move silently on the streets it is no longer raining. "Just one block away. Then we can enter on the household by the back entrance." Sumire says. "There aren't many people that know about it. Just the Kanzaki family members and few members of the staff." Maria nods hearing to Sumire.

After few more minutes walking the tired duo arrives. Being very careful they sneak inside the tall walls of the household. Before entering Maria makes Sumire wait so they can check inside the house. And on a living room they see Shigeki, Hinako and Kaede standing. Kaede is on her uniform. Shigeki is on a gray suit and Hinako with a purple robe. Letting clear that she was woke by the Fujieda woman.

Unlike Kaede and Shigeki that are with they backs turned to the window Hinako spots the duo. But she doesn't show any reaction to it.

"Why you have to disturb us this time of the morning?" Hinako asks to Kaede. "Because we are searching for Sumire. She is charged over many charges. All of them very serious." Kaede says clearly angry. "We believe that she would seek for shelter here and we need to bring her into custody."

Shigeki is clearly outraged with her words. "I want to hear about everyone of them. Sumire wouldn't do anything illegal." He says to Kaede barely holding his anger. "I also want to hear it all. But I have a meeting that I can't cancel. It is about a movie that I will be starring. I heard that it have some interesting twists and will be showing an old home." Hinako says to them leaving the room.

Sumire eyes go wide. "We need to leave Maria." Sumire says. "I know that Sumire." Maria says. "You mother doesn't sound even worried." The blonde adds surprised. "Maria she just told us where to go." Sumire says. The blonde is clearly confused. "An old home. It is a place where she would take me when very young. It is an apartment near of the river with an awesome view. We expended time there looking the river or on a near park. No one knows about that apartment. Not even my father."

Maria understands. They quickly leave the household. They pick a streetcar. Being careful to stay sited and keeping the hats covering them faces. They arrive on the street of the apartment and they enter on a small building. Maria doesn't see anything out of the ordinary on the building, going against the image of Hinako.

On the third floor Sumire stop on the last door of a small hall. She carefully searches for something above the doorframe. She smiles and takes her hand from it holding a dust covered key. "My mother told me since I was young that she left a key here if she lost hers. And that if I wanted to stay alone I could use this apartment. It is fully decorated." Sumire says opening the door.

They get in and lock the door behind them. Maria is impressed, the apartment is shinning clean. At least the entrance and the living room that they can see. Taking out the boots the duo explores the apartment. They found two rooms being one a suite, one master bathroom, one kitchen, one dinning room and a laundry room with a large area to hang the clothes. The duo leaves the wet clothes there to dry.

"Sumire, you should sleep a bit. I will guard the place." Maria says. "There isn't need for that Maria. You need to sleep as much as I do. If you feel so worried we can share a bed. They are king sized. More than enough space for both of us." Sumire says. Maria thinks a bit.

"Fine I will sleep too. But I will use the other room." Maria says. Sumire nods and they move each to a room. Sumire undresses herself. Leaving only one shirt and the pair of under shorts that she took from the store to replace her rain wet panties. She lies on the bed and covers herself before falling into a heavy sleep. On her room Maria does the same.

3:52 PM

Sumire wakes slowly. She looks around and gets surprised by not founding herself on her bedroom. But then she recalls of the previous night events. She gets out of the bed and moves to the kitchen to fetch herself some water. She is surprised by the sight of her mother wearing an apron over a light purple dress. She is fixing a meal. Maria only with a white shirt and a pair of under shorts is sited on the kitchen table eating an occidental breakfast.

"Hinako what you are doing?" Sumire asks when she recovers from the shock. "Cooking." She replies with out turning to her. "Take a seat near of your friend that I am finishing your breakfast. After what happened last night you must be needing to eat." And as agreeing Sumire stomach growls. Sumire blushes deeply and seat.

"How she got here?" Sumire asks. "She was here when I woke. I found her here with a large bag filled with groceries. Then she told me to sit down and began fixing me breakfast." Maria answers. "Well I came here four hours ago and you two where sound sleep. I took your clothes and washed them. After it I went buy few things to make you two something to eat." Hinako says placing a plate filled with eggs, bacon, sausages and a large piece of Italian bread in front of Sumire. She fills a large glass with orange juice and places in front of her too.

Sumire eats with eager. "I didn't knew that you cooked." Sumire says to Hinako. "Well there is things that you don't know about me. I also know how wash, clean and sew. But I don't usually do those things. But when I want to be alone I do all those myself." Hinako replies sitting in front of the duo holding a glass of juice for herself.

"Now you can tell us why you told us to hide here?" Maria asks to Hinako. "I would prefer to discuss this after you two ate. But I guess that I can do it now." Hinako says before sipping her juice. "First of all Sumire is my daughter and I wouldn't let her being taken away with out talking to her first. Second I don't buy all those things that the Fujieda woman said."

Sumire stops eating as well Maria. "She told that Sumire is guilty of high treason, conspiracy to murder and murder. And you Miss Tachibana of protecting a traitor, being a traitor by doing the above and murder of several law officers on your escape from the justice with Sumire." Hinako says calmly. Maria and Sumire are stunned shocked.

"Well I was right. She was lying." Hinako says. "She is not a good liar or a good actress." Sumire looks faint. Maria is pale. "I never did anything of that. I never killed anything else than a kouma or a demon." Sumire says.

"I am aware of that Sumire. That is why I didn't turned you two in. Because I know that you two are innocent." Hinako says. "And if we where guilty you would turn us in?" Maria asks. "Just after giving you two some money and ways to escape from the country and then tell them where you two where and leave you two to be found or escape." Hinako replies.

Maria doesn't say anything. Hinako is helping them and she didn't turned them in. and she can understand if she did if they were actually guilty.

"All those are severe charges. Punished by death." Hinako says to them. "I believe that it is better you two leave the country." Maria nods agreeing. Sumire nods weakly still digesting what she heard. "But we can't leave with out being noticed." Maria says.

"That I can arrange. I have a friend." Hinako says. "A very reliable and trust worth friend that will take you two out of the country if I ask to."

Sumire looks at them. "But they we would to live in the run. Hide ourselves until we die." Sumire says. "That is better than death Sumire." Hinako says, Maria nods agreeing. "I will need the measurements of both of you, shoe numbers and everything. I will buy you two more clothes. Men wear and women wear. You two can't only stay with those. I will keep everything plain and simple." Hinako says to them.

Maria nods. "But that won't bring attention to you?" Maria asks. "Actually no. I as Sumire do lots of shopping. And I can get those with out being noticed." Hinako replies. "I will also arrange money for you two. Some in currency and some jewels. Those can be sold and converted in money from any country that you may be in." Hinako adds.

"How you know that much?" Sumire asks surprised with the calm that her mother is taking everything. "As I said before there is many things about me that you don't know." Hinako replies. "There is food enough for three more meals. Your clothes are drying now. It have hot water and showers goods in both bathrooms. There is water, light and gas here. So you two can make yourself comfortable here." Hinako continues. "Don't unlock the door or leave the apartment. And don't open the door. I have a copy of the key so I will unlock myself if someone knocks don't answer."

Maria and Sumire nod understanding. "On the bottom of that bag there is a box of 45 caliber ammo for you Miss Tachibana." Hinako says looking to Maria. Hinako gets up and move to a counter. She picks a cloth parcel and moves back to the table. "This is for you. Since you got rid of the original staff uses this one. You can dismantle it to hide it under your coat and clothes." Hinako says handing the parcel to Sumire. The younger woman opens it.

She sees five metal rods all with thirty five centimeters. Sumire notices that most of them end with a screw like tip and understand how it is assembled. She also notices a small lock on one of the end with out any screws and understands that it is to attach the naginata blade.

"I will leave now to buy the clothes. If some there is problems you two can defend yourselves. Then you two run to the harbor to a bar called 'Oceans'. I will meet you two there when I hear about the incident." Hinako says. The duo nods agreeing. Hinako leaves the apartment leaving the duo there.

Sumire still can't believe on what just happened. Not only she found that she was framed and charged over many crimes, but she saw her mother doing things and acting like she never saw before. Cooking and washing it is even passable. But having contacts and weapons to taking them out of the country it is beyond her understanding.

Maria looks at Sumire. She can understand the confusion of the shorter girl. "Look just accept it Sumire." Maria says in a soft tone. "I will get a bath ready. According to your mother the tub is large enough for both of us. And I am sure that you also need a bath to relax."

Sumire nods absent minded. Maria gets up and search on the bag for the ammo box. She leaves the kitchen. Sumire can hear the sound of the water running on the bathroom. After a while Maria returns to the kitchen and gently leads Sumire to the bathroom. They bath on the large tub trying to forget the run and the problems for a little while.

5:22 PM

Maria and Sumire are in the living room now wearing them old clothes now dry. The door opens and Maria looks to it with her hand on her revolver. It is Hinako and Maria moves her hand away from it. Hinako is carrying two large shopping bags. She hands one to Maria and the others to Sumire

"Each is filled with clothes for the each of you. Enough to fit those bags that you two got." Hinako says sitting down on an empty armchair. "I bought plain white panties and matching bras. Sportive ones to give better support on the run. There is one pair of dresses to each of you. A casual dress and a night dress. On the run you might need to hide in unusual places."

Maria nods seeing the clothes that she gained. "There is one suit to each. But most of the clothes are jeans pants, button up shirts, thicker shirts to protect against the cold, two jackets and another coat each. Also three pairs of gloves." Hinako continues to list the clothes. "There is also one pair of high heels and one pair of shoes."

Sumire looks at the clothes. They are plain and simple. With a normal cut with nothing eye catching. Even the ties for the suits are plain. "I talked to my contact. The one that will take you two out from the country. He needs two days to get here. In the meantime I am arranging passports to you two." Hinako says to the duo. "I arranged some money. Yens and jewels. I am going to get some more. But this is all that I could get in this short notice."

Hinako gives two small belts with a strong belt bag attached on it. "On the bag have to each one thousand Yens in currency and three thousand in precious stones."

They duo looks impressed to her. She said just some money and she just gave to the duo the total ten thousand Yens in cash and in stones. "Before you two say something I make much more than that a month. And I have much, much more saved. I am an actress for very long and I also get a cut from your father payments." Hinako says to the duo.

"Listen I am aware that this must be hard. Just sitting here praying to not being found. But this is only temporary. In two days you two will have new identities and will be sailing out of the country to safety. Meanwhile just hang tight."

They nod at the older woman support. "I will be leaving now." Hinako says getting up. "Ah! I was forgetting. I bought a pair of books so you two can pass the time doing something else that waiting tensely. Tomorrow morning I will come back with more food for you two and more money."

"Thank you." Both girls say at the same time. "You are welcome. Just don't get caught." Hinako replies leaving the apartment and locking it behind herself. "Let's pack those clothes Sumire. We have time to plan on the best way of doing." Maria says to Sumire to give her something else to think than her mother and how she is acting. Sumire nods and they move to Sumire bedroom.

Two days later

Maria and Sumire are wearing they escape clothes running by Teito empty streets. They are near of the harbor and once again there is a heavy rain pouring down over the imperial city. A couple hundred meters behind them there are many armed and uniformized tsukigumi members chasing them. Luckily for the duo they aren't using firearms.

They see a ship ready for set sail. The duo runs to there know that the ship is the one that they are meant to board. When the duo passes an alley a tall figured wearing a long, black rain coat with a hood covering his face steps out from the alley. They are only fifty meters away from the ship.

"Set sail!" the man shouts to the ship. Sumire looks over her shoulder to the man behind them. The tsukigumi is closing of him. He stands there calmly. When the first member of the tsukigumi tries passing by him, he falls with a major slash on his chest. The others stop seeing the cloaked man with two modified sabers on his hands.

The two blades are wide and double edged. With the tips broader than the rest of the blade. Three of them charge at him wielding katanas. The man defends the attacks and slashes them with his own blades. While he fiercely fends off the tsukigumi, Sumire and Maria reach the ship. "Lower the sails! Full power on the engines!" a tall dark tanned man shouts from behind the ship wheel.

On the ship Sumire turns back and sees the man giving a high kick on one of the tsukigumi members while slashing other. The large group of pursuers is not being able to press forward. The ship is slowly moving away from the docks. The man slashes more members of the tsukigumi and races to the ship. Some of the members that where racing to the ship are slashed out of the way.

The man leaps from the end of the dock and nails his swords on the ship main rail. He pulls himself up and removed the swords from there. "Full speed forward! Take us out of here!" the swordsman shouts to the tall man. He nods and shouts the order again. Soon they left the harbor with out being chased. Maria faints on the deck.

"Let's take her to the captain cabin. She must be exhausted." The swordsman says picking up Maria. Sumire nods helping her to carry the blonde. In the cabin Sumire removes Maria coat and opens her jacket and sees a large red stain on her white shirt. The man sees it too. He picks a large medicine box and softly leads Sumire to a chair. He opens Maria shirt enough to found the wound. Being careful he searches for an exit wound. He founds that the wound on her abdomen is the exit wound and one on her back is the entry wound.

Maria groans in pain while he cleans and dresses her wound. After a while Maria is with a tight bandage wrapped around her stomach holding clean gauzes over her wounds. "She will survive. She lost some blood. That is why she fainted." He says to Sumire.

Sumire nods to him moving near of Maria. The man moves to leave the room. "We will pass by Hokkaido to pick up another crew member. We will also buy more medicines for her." He says before leaving the room.

On the morning

The swordsman enters on the cabin. Sumire is sited besides Maria. She is sleeping uncomfortably on the chair. He sighs and removes his now dry raincoat. And hangs it besides the door. He is a tall Japanese man with a light tanned skin and long black hair. He places the two swords now sheathed on a rack. He sits behind a large table on a very comfortable looking leather armchair. He opens a drawer and picks up a letter. He scans thru it.

"Where you got me now Hinako?" he asks to the letter.

Bonus scenes:

Hinako leaves the apartment and walks by Teito streets. After a quick change of clothes in a shop she walks to the harbor. Now wearing pants, a striped shirt and a hat she enters in a bar. She moves to a half hidden table where a light tanned man I sited. His long hair casketing over his back. He is sipping a cup of cold beer.

"I am sorry about this lateness." Hinako says sitting in front of him. "You wouldn't believe in the problems that I ran thru today." She smiles apologetically to him. "Why I have the feeling that you want me to solve it?" He replies in a tired voice. "I don't want you to solve it. Just take two people out of the country and look over them." She says to him. "You know that I wouldn't ask you anything if there was another way to do it. And I don't mean that in a bad way dear." She adds in a gently tone.

He sips on his beer again. "If I can spare you of troubles I will spare you of them. Especially since it is because of me that you live like you do." Hinako gently places her hand over his left hand that was resting over the table. "What you need me to do?" He asks. "I need you to take two people out of Teito and take them to somewhere safe. I will arrange the fake documents for them." Hinako says.

"I will be leaving in two days. I think that is time enough for you set everything." He replies. She nods to him. "Now you know that I would love to stay here and listen to your travel stories like we always do. But it is an emergency and I need to order those documents. Be around here. If I manage to sneak out again I will come here." She says in an apologetically tone. He nods and she leaves the bar.
