Chapter 11

"Do you have any idea of who's chasing us?" Hinata asks as the two make their way towards the forest.

"Slade…" She replies and Hina stops dead in her tracks.

"SLADE? The Slade? The psychopath mastermind from Jump city? The masked criminal with one eye?" She asks and covers her right eye at her last sentence.

"Yes…" Mindy replies quietly.

"Oyaoya…[Oh my…]" The Wolf whispers. "He's after you because you're an alien." She says and Mindy shakes her head.

"He wants to kill me." She corrects and Hina's silver eyes widen with fear. She runs her small fingers through her blue hair as she wonders what she's gotten herself into. "What are we going to do?" Mindy asks and holds herself anxiously.

"I haven't planned that out yet." She replies seeming almost lost in thought as she puts a finger on her lips.

"Think fast, because I can hear someone coming!" Mindy whispers loudly and Hina turns to her.

"Go in the forest!" She orders and Mindy takes off running at an inhuman speed. Suddenly, Hina stretches out her arms as she sparkles and she disguises herself as a tree. Slade-bots pass her and look around at the ground to find Mindy's footprints in the mud.

"Hey, robots!" The Wolf shouts and they turn around to see four Hinatas; one for every bot. The one in the front bites one bots arm and throws it into another. One Slade-bot fires at another Hinata, but the lazar just goes through the mirage. Suddenly, three illusions turn into white light and shoot at the robots. Hinata looks around wildly to make sure there are no more attackers and then lays eyes on Mindy's footprints.

"Mindy-san… you should've ran in the grass." She growls and then runs toward the forest, making sure to stay in the grass. She finds Mindy and then turns into her humanoid form. She quickly grabs her hand and they turn invisible.

"What happened!" Mindy cries as the Wolf leads her in the forest.

"Sh, we're invisible. Try to run in the leaves, so they can't follow our footprints." She orders. Mindy cries out as she bumps into a tree. She yelps again when she hits her foot on a log.

"Please, try to stay quiet." Hina whispers.

"Sorry! It's hard to move around in a forest when you're invisible!" She whispers back and bumps her shoulder into a tree.

"Ouch!" She whimpers. "Sorry!" She squeaks out and Hina sighs frustratedly as they continue to make their way through the thick forest.

"What are your people anyway?" Mindy asks curiously as she glances toward Hina, though she doesn't know why, since they're still invisible.

"We're humans, but... a different type, like Japanese are a different from Africans. Oh, I might as well tell you our history. Some biologists were searching in Japan for new species. They stumbled across these people with fox ears and tails in the mountains. Alot of them had strange eye and hair colors. The kitsune, as they were later called- Welcomed the people with open arms. The biologists stole some of the Kitsune and ran tests on them. They searched in the mountains to find more of my people which were later called Yaju or Beasts...They found Neko, Inu, Urufu, Usagi, Tora and many others. They ran tests on them and later sold them as slaves. We're not slaves anymore, but Still to this days in Japan we don't have as many rights. So many disguise themselves as normal humans, Though... it's hard because of our size. We're normally smaller than normal humans, but not the Kitsune. They're roughly the same size." Hinata explains and Mindy nods slowly, taking in the information "I just pray that God will help us..." Hina adds and sighs. Mindy turns to her with a puzzled expression.

"God?" She asks and The Wolf turns to her as they become visible.

"You don't know Who God is?" She asks and she tilts her head. "He's the most wonderful Person ever!" The Wolf beams with her tail wagging rapidly. "He's the Creator of everything. He is Love. He Loves us SOOO much that He sent His beautiful Son to die for us, since we all have sinned. He rose again on the third day after His death. The Son of God died for all man's sins, so we could be with Him happily forever. That's how much He Loves us; that He would rather die than lose us all." Hinata smiles and looks up at the heavens adoringly. Mindy looks out into space with a confused expression. Who could Love someone so much? This didn't make much sense to her. Hina turns her head to Mindy with a smiling face. "He died for you too. Even if you were the only person on the earth He would have still died for you. He cares about you so much, Mindy-san. He wants you to know Him. He doesn't want you to suffer; He doesn't want anyone to suffer." She goes on softly and Mindy's green eyes water. Never has she known such Love before. Even in her childhood she has never experienced love. Hinata hugs her tight. "Aw, Mindy-san... don't cry." She says softly.

"H-h-h-...he never loved me..." Mindy cries through gritted teeth.

"God Loves you." She whispers loudly, but she shakes her head.

"No… I mean someone else." She cries and Hinata hugs her tighter.

"Aw…" She coos softly and her ears drop in pity. She just lets Mindy cry out her pain and agony.

After a while Mindy pulls away from her and sits on the log, rocking back and forth. Hina's shoulder is wet from her tears, but she didn't mind.

"W-where's God?" Mindy quietly asks and the Wolf smiles.

"Everywhere... He's a Spirit, Who can be everywhere at once." She explains and Mindy looks around, then her head lowers.

"I don't see Him." She sniffles, but Hina smiles again.

"Just because you don't see Him, doesn't mean He's not there. You can't see the wind, can you?" She explains and Mindy looks up.

"True..." She replies and tilts her head. "But how can I talk to Him?" She asks.

"You can talk to Him out loud, or in your head... it's called prayer." Hina explains and Mindy nods slowly. "Do you wished to be saved by Jesus the Son of God?" The Wolf asks. "It's hell without Him" She adds and Mindy looks at her with a sad expression. "Ok." She replies and Hina closes her silver eyes.

"Ok... We're going to pray to Jesus. Repeat after me: Jesus, please come into my heart. Please be the Lord of my life. Please forgive me of what I've done wrong... I believe that You died for me on the cross, on the third day rose again and that you are Lord." Hina says and Mindy repeats and feels a familiar calm come over her. Her eyes widen slightly.

"So, You're the True Master I heard about?" She whispers, having Faith in what Hinata has said.

" He's alive in the flesh, too" Hinata goes on happily. "If you believe that and confess with your mouth, you're saved." She explains brightly and Mindy nods with a smile. "You should pray to Him everyday, tell Him everything, worship Him and read His Word...Oh! My Bible's at home. Oh well, we can go back for it." Hinata says and then hugs Mindy lovingly.
