After several hours of this try and fail method, she would finally collapse on a heap upon the ground, panting heavily. I can't...can't give up She thought to herself, getting back to her legs again and stumbling on, for several hours once more until..until she fell again right near the outskirts of a city and slipped into darkness again.

Very...very dark Were the words that rang out through her head as she saw darkness, then blurred images, and finally clear images. "Liusa...? LIUSA!" She heard distinct calling of her voice and frowned, opening her eyes to be greeted by the sight of her younger sister, still looking as dirty as ever.

"K-Kiemu! I have been looking for you everywhere!" She shouted loudly, even though they were so close to the city, then she pulled her sister into a very tight hug. "How?! Where?!" Liusa would sputter out, still having her sister in a very tight hug. "I can answer later, Kiumi" The girl, obviously Kiemu, replied, stressing the importance on Liusa's fake name. Liusa would sigh inwardly as Kiemu stressed the importance on her fake name, but just nodded.

"Ok Miyu" Liusa said with a sigh as she stood up and dusted herself off. "Let's get going" She would mouth to her younger sister, who would merely nod, then they would take off in the opposite direction of the city. After running and running...and running, for several hours, they would sit down onto the dirty, brown ground near a grove of trees, which were swaying a little in the wind.

"S-So, what...exactly happened?" Liusa/Kiumi said to Kiemu/Miyu in a hushed voice, in case any people were around which she doubted. "Well...when we were arriving at the place, I pretended to be asleep and you were asleep all ready. Mom and Dad, they picked us up and placed us into the cabin, then I heard shouts and voices outside and I got scared" Kiemu would say, in a less hushed voice.

"Did you find out who they were?" Liusa asked, frowning a little as Kiemu nodded her head slowly. "Well, I hid in the hall closet, you know, in the closet right in the hall, right near the door...but, they found me...Population Police officers" She muttered the last part, but then she would smile a little as she continued, ignoring Liusa's horrified expression. "I managed to escape from them and had them chasing after me, I managed to hide from them again and I suppose they didn't come back for a while to continue their search" She finally finished with a triumphent smile plastered onto her face.

"Oh, er...well, good job on that Kiemu" Liusa would give a small smile to her little sister then before laying down onto the ground and going onto her side, quickly closing her eyes as to avoid questions about her personality. Of course she was having personality problems, their mom and dad ditched them in a cabin in who-knows-where and left them for dead with Population Police officials!

Of course I expected that from dad though... Liusa thought to herself as she slept, having various dreams. The first dream she had contained a Population Police officer in a tutu saying over and over again "Population Police". She had absolutely no idea what it meant, then a dream of nothingness, then those 2 dreams would alternate and mix at times. Finally though, she dreamed of one incident a while ago...

FLASHBACK...

Liusa yawned to herself in her familiar room in her familiar bed. She'd sit up in her bed and let out another yawn, apparently having just woken up. She managed to get out of her bed and stumble out into the living room, making sure not to go into view of anybody watching the windows. She would sigh, she was getting a bit fed up of not being able to look out the windows when they were right there in plain view.

She looked around the house carefully, then finally concluded no one, except her sister, who was asleep, were home. She would let out a sigh of relief, finally being able to look out the window even though she didn't fully understand the dangers of this. She went back to the window and skillfully went over to one of the windows, then peeked her head just a little so she could see the streets in front of the window.

What she saw amazed her for a long while, she just sat there all afternoon, watching as cars and trains went whizzing past the window, some tooting their horns, some cars driving recklessly, some cars going as slow as a snail, and some even driving faster then Liusa could imagine. She even saw a few children in a few of the cars, sticking their faces out of the windows and staring at the enviroment around them. However, she was soon forced to stop watching the window, since she was suddenly yanked from the window and out of sight by the scruff of her dress.

"WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING?!" Her dad's voice exploded from behind her, then he would spin her around and glare at her. She would mumble something which she was sure her dad didn't hear, then stare down at the ground, not able to meet her father's gaze. "What was that?!" He shouted again, intensifying his gaze onto her. "I w-was just looking outside..." She mumbled loudly enough for him to hear her.

"Just looking outside?! You could of been seen! don't you understand you'll be killed if you're seen?!?!?!" He exploded, grabbing her by the scruff of her dress again and practically dragging her upstairs to her room. "No more of that, you hear me?!" He shouted one last time, then went into her room, dropped her onto the floor, then stalked out of the room, slamming the door behind him, leaving Liusa to stare at the door.

"It's just not fair...just not fair at all..." She muttered bitterly as she sighed and resolved to reading the old books in her room for the rest of the day.

END FLASHBACK

She instantly jerked out of that dream as it ended and muttered bitterly, for it was just twilight. She looked around, panicked when she didn't hear any movement at all, any breathing, but calmed herself once she saw her sister laying down beside her. "the Population Police, the Government...none of them are right about anything" She murmered to herself, sighing.
