Jun sat in the dinning room with the other girls who had come in that day, she was still not over her hurt from Kisho and that was about three days ago.

Jinpei hadn't let up about her crush on him, and he teased her so much that night as the snuck back into the complex she spoke to him very harshly and he burst into tears. After that she felt ashamed of herself for hurting him like that after all he was only five years old.

It's what her mother used to do, in distant memories that lingered in her dreams and she still cried at night from the way her mother treated her and she had no right to treat him like that.

Jun had promised herself she's do a better job with Jinpei since he came all alone and very sad about his mother passing away suddenly in her sleep, he still had bad dreams about finding her the next morning when she didn't come and get him out of bed like she normally did. Jun's heart went out to the little boy who sat all alone in the playground for the first day he was in the orphanage.

Before she met Kisho she hadn't noticed boys as being anything other than annoying, but he was different, and then he told her he wouldn't take her with him, it hurt and the memories of being abandoned came flooding back in that instant.

Emily was her closest friend and she comforted Jun when she lay awake that night in her bed crying, Jun tried hide her tears from the other children in the room, but Emily who was on duty that night heard her, it was because she felt there was no escape from the orphanage.

She saw her future there like it was mapped out before her- she would grow up there and eventually work there and she would amount to nothing.

But still, she didn't want to leave her new brother Jinpei to that kind of boring life either so she was still waiting for Emily to bring to be with her, like she promised she would.

Jun was drawn back to the present by the noise in the room, girls chatted excitedly about training to be someone important so she sat at the dinner table and quietly picked at her food while she thought of Jinpei and Kisho, the she let her mind drift back to three days ago when she left the orpahange in Emily's car, she was so tired suddenly when she got into the car, but she thought Emily was going back inside for Jinpei…she thought about the conversation with Emily as she held Jun close and told her she could help Jun make it right…she would count for something if she came with her.

"Emily why…" Jun sobbed into her friends shoulder," I just want a family, is that to much to hope for?" she looked up into Emily's compassionate blue eyes briefly."People come here to adopt children all the time but it's never me or Jin…but no one want's me, not even Kisho..." The image of his face that shimmered into her mind made her cry even harder, then it registered in her mind that he looked worried as she hit him and ran away.

"It'salright Jun…you know I saw you doing some impressive moves the other day in the play yard." Emily praised her talent as she wiped away Jun's tears. "You could put your talents to use in a worthwhile cause…"

But Jun wasn't listening much as she was absorbed in her own self pity at that point."My mother didn't want me…so why should he." Jun sobbed. Jun knew she was just feeling sorry for herself but she had to get it out." One day, someone will love me enough to give a real last name."

Emily looked at her sharply as she tilted her face up in her hands to look into her eyes."Jun you have a last name, but you never write it down, or say it, you won't even recognise your real first name…why?"

Jun felt herself go numb at the memories of when she was five years old being dragged by the arm to another orphanage and hearing the woman who was suppose to love her tell them she didn't want her, she told Jun everyday that she was a mistake and she ruined her life because she was born…then she decided to get rid of her. "Never say her name to me…I don't want her last name, or any name she gave me." Jun told Emily as bitterness crept into her voice. Jun was a name she chose for herself and she never responded to any other name, she had virtually forgotten the name her mother gave her.

She remembered the overhearing the conversation that her mother had with the lady at the last orphanage she was at as she stood there in dirty clothes with no shoes on her dirty feet, her hair hadn't been washed in a week. Her mother said she never wanted a child, she found it hard to love her and if they didn't take her she'd be left on the street to fend for herself as she had had enough of motherhood, from that time on Jun want nothing from her because it hurt too much knowing that she never wanted her.

"Jun I didn't mean to upset you more…what if I could show a way that your life could have the meaning that want…" Emily promised her. "Come with tonight along with Crystal and Sarah…I'll show you a way to put those skills you have to use in a cause that is worth while…" Jun nodded as hot tears still fell on her cheeks." Can you bring Jinpei as well- I promised him I'd look after him…" It had been three days and Jinpei was still not with her and she hadn't seen Emily since she brought her here to start her new life, but still she was treated well by the women and she was given new clothes and a clean bed in her own room.

She was brought out of her thoughts by the sound of the woman who walked into the room she had long blond hair and big blue eyes a confident air about her, she was flanked by two women wearing black leather with blue piping, they carried a masks in one hand, and the pretty blond woman she smiled at the all the young girls in the room.

"Welcome to Galactor girls…few of you will make it through to the final training to become a Devilstar, but those who prove their worth will find a great career ahead of them." The Devilstar's voice dripped with honey and promises and Jun paid attention to what she was saying.

"As you know Galactor is an organisation that is set up for the greater good of the planet and you are here to train for that cause…you must be excited to be training for such an important job." The woman let her intense gaze fall on the faces of the girls in the room and then she smirked as she continued her introduction speech.

Only the best would go onto be Devilstars of Galactor she was saying as Jun's sharp ears picked up on everything. When she finished the blond lady took a good look at each young girl around the room again, she smiled with some satisfaction and then turned and left with the two women who were Devilstars trailing behind her.

Jun smiled to herself, she would be one of the best they ever had, and she would show them what she was made of…

Ken walked Jinpei to a corner of the building away from the authorities that were interviewing the staff that worked there.

"Jinpei I need you to tell me all that you know about the last night I saw you, Jun was upset with me right." He waited for Jinpei to settle down, and through teary eyes he rubbed he nodded sadly.

"I didn't want to say much to anyone in case I got her into trouble…" he said quietly. "But I know she talked to Emily for ages around bed time one of the other girls said she went out of the room with her... I got up to go and sleep with sis even though she wasn't nice to me…because when I have bad dreams she tells me stories that make me laugh and then she cuddles me and they go away. Well that night she wasn't in her bed-and I don't know any more." Jinpei gushed as he looked at Ken filled with exhaustion.

"I need to talk to Emily…" Ken mused, he had opened his mind to Akiya so she could hear what was going on and he could feel her alarm that Jun had run away. Now it was like second nature to let her in or close the doors if he needed privacy.

"I'll try to reach her Ken the Eagle…I'll find out where she is." Akiya told him urgently."If I could do so in another time, then she must be open enough to hear me now. I'll try not to startle her."

"Thanks Akiya…" He thought back as he turned his attention to the Swallow standing before him.

"Emily is on holidays…she left that night." Jinpei told him, not that rang of suspicion to Ken.

"Jinpei I need you to keep an eye on things here for me, just in case Jun shows up."he waited for the small boy to look at him." I'm going to find her for you so don't you worry but I need you to be brave for me." He waited for a response as he stared at the miserable child.

Jinpei nodded his head and Ken could see he was trying to be brave as he drew in a deep breath.

"Kisho…why did you tell sis you would leave us here." He asked as Ken was about to get up.

"Jinpei…I couldn't lie to her, besides someone will come soon and he will take you both to a place you could be happy." Ken tried to reassure him.

"If you know someone is coming…why didn't you say it to sis." Jinpei innocently asked.

"Because…" But Ken didn't have an answer for him, he was so caught in not wanting to interfere with events that he very could have by not telling Jun Dr.Nambu would come for them soon. "Well Jinpei I wasn't thinking. I should have told her about Dr.Nambu, he's a friend of mine, and then she wouldn't have run away." He heaved a sigh as he looked at Jinpei. "But you know it's not like her to leave behind...she never would have-" He stopped himself before he could say any more.

The Jun he knew would never abandon Jinpei.

They both watched as a car pulled up around the side of the complex and a woman got out and went inside through a side door.

"Kisho that's, Emily." Jinpei told him wide eyed and a surprise flashed across his small face.

"Jinpei, stay here." Ken warned him with a serious face to try and make him obey his order, but he should have known that the small boy wouldn't listen as he followed Ken in through the side door. So Ken turned to him and put a finger to his lips as the both followed her moving quietly and hiding in shadows. For a five year old boy Ken thought Jinpei was doing very well to keep quiet and do as he was told, we at least while they were trailing Emily.

She went into a records room and she pulled out some files, Ken noticed one had Jun's name on it but also another name that looked to more official. The name read- 'Jasmin Aichi' and then Jun was hand written under it. The other files were obviously girls who lived at the orphanage. She took the files and then left the same way.

Ken noticed that no one was in the corridors, which surprised Ken, but then most of the employees were at the front office and the children were in the playground. The lack of security around this place was alarming her thought as he followed her out the door with Jinpei in tow.

Ken waited until she got back to the car and then he stole a glance at Jinpei and indicated that the boy stayed right where he was, "She put the stuff in the boot…" Jinpei whispered as Ken had already noticed. As the car pulled away Jinpei threw a rock at it and it popped open.
"Thanks Jin," Ken smiled at him.
And with lightning speed Ken dived into the boot that was slightly open…
