Getting to the village was easy. We hardly hit any enemies, except the drunk guy who wanted to fight Yasashiku, I almost felt pity for the drunk, almost.

When we got off the boat, the village was completely empty, there was nothing.

I looked around as I walked. Then I saw something move in a dark alley.

"Hold up." I said. Cell 5 listened.

I walked into the alley, with the twins following behind.

"Hello?" Kenshin asked. Nothing. But something else stirred near me. I looked around, it was so dark.

Then I felt a sharp pain in my leg. "#$" I yelled. I looked at my leg and there were a few senbon sticking out of it. Ouch!

"Roza!" said a voice, though I couldn't tell whose it was. I dropped to one knee. 'I don't get it,' I thought, 'These damn needles don't do much damage!'

I grabbed them pulled and tried to hold back my scream of pain, didn't work out so well.

"I wouldn't move around to much, Girl." said a voice in the darkness.

"Who the #$ are you?" said the same voice that yelled my name.

"I really don't think it matters," he said.

I could see him now, he was all in black, and he wore a mask that covered...all of his face. But I wasn't in the mood to be examining some guy, who attacked me.

I focused my chakra to my chocker and in a millisecond; every bug known to man appeared. Spiders, ticks, ants, cockroaches, you name it! They crowded around the man, who jumped back. A couple of scorpions crawled up his leg and...That can't be healthy.

2 minutes later:

The man fell. I tried to stand up, but it didn't work out very well. I released my chakra focusing and the bugs scattered away.

"Roza! Are you okay?"

"Let her relax a second, that move might have taken a lot out of her."

"But it's not supposed to."

"Well, I don't know what to tell you then."

The voices were familiar, but I forgot everything, even my own name. I looked at the senbon in my hand and tipped them upside down. A purplish liquid dripped out of the end. I tired to speak but all I managed to say was; "Shit." and I passed out.

'What happened? Where am I?' I make a weak attempt to open my eyes. It was very dark at first, and then I saw a bit more color.

"I think she's waking up, Ayumi-sensei!"

"Wow, it's amazing what that stuff can do."

"Yeah...now I'm scarred for life."

"Same here."

"Wha appened?" what I had tried to say was 'What happened?'

I tried to sit up, but someone pushed me back down. It was Ayumi.

"Rest," she said uncomfortably.

Then I tasted this strange liquid in my mouth, it was good, but really...strange. "What did you give me?"

Ayumi shifted uncomfortably, "I think it's best if you don't find out."

"I'm already half dead, just tell me."

"That's not funny, Roza."

"I'm not trying to be funny, Ayumi. What the hell did you feed me?"

"Um...well, I learned that blood was bad for the body, you know, for consuming it. But you coughed some blood and just swallowed it. But there wasn't anything wrong with you, your breathing returned to normal and the poison dripped out of your wound."

I swallowed, "Ayumi, does that mean I'm blood-thirsty"

"I really wouldn't like to talk about it."

"Where are Yasashiku and Kenshin?"

"I'm here," said Kenshin.

"Where's Yasashiku?" I still felt bad about yesterday.

"He sort of ran off," Kenshin said.

"Why? What's wrong with him?"

"He doesn't really like it when people tend to drink blood. That's what the murderer did before he killed our parents."

"He drank his own blood?" I...was...FLABBERGASTERED!! ((I like that word smile))

"Well, it's hard to explain."

"Did she wake up?" said a different voice. Yasashiku's voice.

"Yeeeah..." said Ayumi and Kenshin together. "Later." and they left the room.

I tried to sit up, my leg hurt a little. I looked at it and saw there were 3 holes in it.

"Talk about being 'holy'" I said.

"Okay, that joke was so bad; I think I just threw up in my mouth a bit." he said, grimly.

"Well sorry if I'm not always comical."

"Whatever." he said, and he left the room.

I could tell they asked someone if they could stay at their house to help me out. I tried to stand up, and was surprised to find out I was stronger then normal. I walked to the door and opened it.

Ayumi, Kenshin and Yasashiku were in another room gathered around a table. They were talking, but I could hardly hear them. I got closer and listened as I leaned against the wall, what I heard...

"She's a murderer, Ayumi!"

"Shut up! She'll hear you!"

"I don't care," it was Yasashiku. "Murderers drink blood, I've seen it happen. I was there!"

"Yasashiku! You better shut it if you know what's good for you!" Kenshin said that.

"All I'm saying is that she can kill anyone she wanted to."

"It doesn't matter." Ayumi's voice was...dangerous. "Maybe she just...I don't know...has a disease."

"Trust me, Ayumi; the only way blood can heal is if the person has killed."

"I don't know...maybe it was at that moment, she probably killed that guy."

"No, a bug did it. The only way blood can heal is if they killed with no help. She's dangerous."

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. 'Maybe I should tell them. That way Yasashiku won't think so badly of me. But if I tell him, he'll probably hate me more! Either way, I'm still hated.'

"If she was dangerous, she would have killed us already."

"Maybe she..."

"I don't want to hear it anymore, Yasashiku! You will not tell any of this to Roza, if you do we will have a serious problem." Ayumi's tone was murderous. I had to step in, but I couldn't. I just stood there against the wall, hot angry tears dripped down my face; that was new.

I ran back to the room and searched it, looking for. "Hear it is." I opened the window and jumped out. We still had a mission, and I needed to get this damn conversation out of my mind.
