"We were to harsh on Usagi-chan. We should appologize." Ami spoke up at the
nexp senshi meeting. The rest of the girls agreed and Mamoru sat back with
Chibi-Usa next to him.
"You're to late girl, she ran away." Chibi-Usa stands up
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHES GONE." Rei yelled out.
"She left. She told me to give these to you." Chibi-Usa hands Rei one note
and gives the other to Mamoru. They read the notes. Not believing what they
said. That their princess was in fact gone and what she had to say to them
was a bit shocking to them. Ami began to cry, Matoko punched the wall. Minako
just looked on in shock, tears fill her eyes but do not fall, and Rei just
sits in silence. Mamoru walked out of the temple and headed for home wanting
sometime alone.

7AM Detroit Michigan
I'm awaken my a cat knocking over a trashcan. I lift my head up and look
around me. The previous night comes back to me. I look down to see my
pants and underwear around my ankles alittle bloody, my backpack is gone, and
my suitcase has been pawed through. Oh gods, I've been raped. What am I
going to do. I can't call home. My parents are most likely going to be
really pissed that I left. No, I'm to ashamed of what just happened. I won't
be able to look at them ever again. I pull up my pants and gather my things,
I'm lucky he didn't take my brooch. You're so stupid Usagi. What was I
thinking when I left, that I could make it on my own. And not even a day
in a new place and I already screw up. I straiten all my things and walk
out of the alley.

No food and I'm so hunry. My stomach growls in agreement. I walked around
all day trying to figure out what to do. I can't go to the cops they will
send me home. I'm in a city I don't know. I don't have any money.
OHHHHHHHHHH what am I going to do. I sit down in a alley. At least I had
made it to a better side of town. I feel the tears well up in my eyes.
I hear a voice. "Do you need a place to stay?" I look up to see a girl with
long curly brown hair and brown eyes. She is dressed in dirty rags and odd
clothing that didn't match. She seemed about my age, sixteen. "Yeah, I got
robbed. I'm new to the U.S." I say in the best English I have. "My names
Destiny. Whats yours and where are you from?" she holds out her hand,
which I take. See all people in this city can't be bad. "My name is Bunny
and I'm from Tokyo, Japan." We start to walk, "Are you a runaway, Bunny?"
"Ummmmmmmm....." I say looking for the right excuse
"So you are then. You can stay with us then. But you have to be able
to hold your own."
She leads me to a building that has been boarded over and long been
condemned. She pushes some loose boards on the windows making a hole just
big enough for us. She crawls in and then ushers me in too. I follow. Inside
she finds a lamp and lights it. She then leads me up the stairs and opens a
door. Inside girls and boys around our age sit or lay on the floor. As
Destiny walks in they seem to straiten up somewhat.
"Bunny, meet the gang. Everyone this is Bunny, she new to the U.S. and
you all better be nice cuz she's gonna be hangin with us from now on."
It was clear to me at Destiny was the leader of the group. She then
introduced me to the gang. First she introduced me to Galen, a street
wise boy with a sense of humor. He had white hair and purple eyes. Then came
Fate, a small girl with very short dark red brown hair and bright green eyes.
She reminds me of some kind of pixie. Next came Kat, a girl with a pale
complextion and long black hair and dark brown, almost black, eyes. She
seems kind of pissy if you ask me but Night said its how she usually is.
She apparently had a very hard life. But he said that once she got use to you she was like a
sister. Night, he has a dark complextion and brown eyes that remind me of a
hot warm brownie. Hes very sweet. Then she introduced me to a quite guy
The last person Destiny introduced me to was her twin brother who had the
same features as her. His name was Lex. They were all very nice to me and
friendly. At first they seemed cold and hard, but I know its from life on
the street because that is the way I am now. Its hard to let anyone into
your life when you live like we do. We seem to forget the way your life use
to be, how free you were then and how you didn't have as many worries. And
what you do remember seems like some lost fairytale. Night hit on me a few
times and tried somethings but the thought of a mans touch makes me shutter.
A month flew by and we became like a family but we all held a secret. A
secret that made us hard and cold. We all lived together, sometimes we had to
move. They all taught me things I need to know to surive on the street. They
taught me how to pick pockets (I'm so good at it), wire cars, break into
things, how to pick locks, street fighting (I thought them some of my
fighting skills too.), and some other things. It was a way to make a living
and that was all that mattered. Not many people will hire a homeless person
and if your a runaway you have to be careful. Destiny and I became close.
Destiny is hard too, but you'd have to be. According to Lex she never would
have stopped when she saw me, but she said she saw herself in me when she
was walking by. I never had the heart to tell Destiny what happened on my
first night in Detroit though, and now I'm very afraid I'm pregant.
