3 years has passed and Lei-Fang graduated from her college. Using her degree in Music Theory to gain a job at a local music company, and was soon gaining quite a hefty sum of money. On the side, she often did 'jobs' with Ayane and Kasumi. Bodyguards, spying, and other things, but she mainly did Bodyguard jobs. Finishing writing up a remix of a song, she sighed and looked up. Suddenly a shadow came up behind her. Lei-Fang twirled around and stared into dead eye. Gasping, she backed up, only to have Ayane and Kasumi come flying in. Ayane noticed Lei-Fang.
"Lei-Fang! What are you doing here?" Ayane asked.
"He just appeared behind me!" Lei-Fang stated, throwing her bag to her assistant Cindy, who had come out to see what happened. Getting into her fighting stance, she leapt at the man, and then sent him flying. Landing, Lei-Fang stood back.
"His style is a lot like Jann Lee's isn't it?" Lei-Fang commented.
"It's the same. We've been tracking him for 4 days now. Our employer is his target. But why he's after you we have no idea!" Kasumi said.
"Is your father the head of Musican Corporate?" Lei-Fang asked.
"Yeah... Why?" Ayane asked, blocking a kick.
"That's my father!" Lei-Fang blurted out. Ayane and Kasumi stared at Lei-Fang for a second before she had knocked the man down. Leaning down, she reached for the mask.
"Who is this guy anyway?" Lei-Fang asked, slowly removing it. As it slipped off, she saw several smoke bombs go off. Coughing, she shielded her eyes, only to stare at the man. His eyes flashed and he ran off. *It couldn't be!* Coughing, Lei-Fang struggled out of the cloud.
"Lei-Fang, why don't we meet your dad." Ayane suggested.
"So he's your dad?" Kasumi asked, while waiting on the bottom floor. Lei-Fang nodded. Ayane remained silent when suddenly there was a crash and a fallen Helena fell onto the floor.
"Helena!" Lei-Fang cried as she picked up Helena's head. The man was back, and he glared at all 3 of them. Taking off her coat, she used it to pillow Helena's head before standing up.
"You... You did this to Helena?" Lei-Fang's braided ponytail swirled up as a wind blew in. The man just stared at her.
"YOU PAY!" And she lashed out, catching the mask, ripping it off. The man faltered back and the mask fluttered to the ground, rooting Lei-Fang to the ground.
"J..."
Ayane lashed at the man, sending him into the wall.
"Jann...."
Kasumi and Ayane did a tag team attack and sent him flying into the wall.
"JANN LEE!!!!" Lei-Fang screamed, sinking to the ground, her mind swirling as she was brought back to the horrible day, and how he died.
"You're not him! HE DIED!" Lei-Fang cried, punching at him, her eyes closed shut. He avoided it, and then kicked at her. She was sent hurdling into the wall, just as the Elevator opened, revealing 3 bodyguards. They all took out guns and aimed at the imposter. Something happened. Lei-Fang ran.
The Men pulled the hammer just as the imposter began to run...
"St-"
They aimed.
"Stop..."
They pulled the trigger.
"STOP IT!!!" Lei-Fang cried, feeling 3 bullets hit her body. 3 in her torso, 1 nicked her right arm, and 1 hit her right leg. Falling to the ground, she gripped the wound in her pelvic area, trying to stop the blood. The imposter ran away as Ayane and Kasumi cried out for Lei-Fang. She heard them, but didn't understand a word they said. Her eyes closed and she sunk into the black abyss.
Jann Lee kneeled in front of a man in black. The Man's tall frame suggested he wasn't a lazy bones, but the feral smile made him a force to be reckoned with.
"You have a new target. As soon as that Lei-Fang woman is out of the hospital, get me her." The man Ordered. The Clone nodded and then walked away.
"Are you sure that this is wise sir?" A man beside the man in black asked.
"I'm sure he'll succeed. We knew know she's much weaker when she's around him, plus, with her under my control, who could stop us now?" The man in black answered.
"If you say so sir."
The clone walked down the hall to his room and then opened the door. Entering, he sat down on the large bed, and stared at the blue walls. *Other self... hurt... Why?* And he fell asleep.
Struggling with groceries, around 3 weeks later, Lei-Fang opened her apartment door. Her cat Misty wasn't too happy that she was out for 3 weeks in the hospital.
"Were you okay with Kasumi Misty?" Lei-Fang asked, smiling. The cat just meowed. Smiling, she got up and began to put away her groceries. Taking out a can of cat food, she opened it up and began to scoop it out. Putting it down and filling up the water tray, Misty took to it like lint to a statically charged shirt. Picking up her mail, Lei-Fang sorted through it, sorting bill from junk, from personal. Finding a oddly written letter, she opened it with her letter opener and took out the letter. It was from Gen-Fu, her old friend. It told her of how his granddaughter was getting better and that she should come back to China soon because it was such a beautiful place right about then.
"Well I am a bit homesick. Misty, wanna go on a trip?" Lei-Fang asked her cat. Misty meowed and went back to her food. Laughing a bit, Lei-Fang went into the bathroom with a pair of comfortable clothes. Taking off her clothes, she looked at her scars. 2 fresh ones were from the bullet holes, and there were 3 old ones, nearly faded. One was on the inside of her thigh, from when she slipped from trying to climb the old willow tree in her yard. Another, on her stomach, was from when she was young and had gotten in a fight with some older boys. The 3rd was on her heart, where a piece of burning metal had hit her... It stung the most. Taking a long shower, she put on the tank top and shorts, walking out of her bathroom. Sitting on her couch, she took out a book and opened it to a chapter. Yet a shadow caught her eye. Standing up suddenly, she aggravated the bullet hole in her torso and winced.
"Come out now!" She yelled. The man stepped out of the shadows, causing her eyes to go into pin points.
"How dare you, you... IMPOSTER!" And then launched a mighty kick at the clone, sending him back, Grabbing her cell, she ran into her bedroom, slamming the door and locking it. Little that she realize that the door was still a bit open. Speed dialing Kasumi's cell, she waited for it to ring.
"Hello?" Kasumi's voice came on.
"KASUMI! HELP HE'S..." Suddenly she was sent into the wall by a fist. Feeling him hold her against the wall, she steeled herself for the blows, only to find the man shivering.
*Other self... not hurt... Head hurts... But Master wants... Master gets... Other self... fighting...* Went through the clone's head. Regaining his senses, he punched her in the stomach, causing her to scream. with her trembling, he took out a needle.
"Get away from me! KASUMI! IF YOU CAN HEAR ME! HELP ME! THE JANN LEE IMPOSTER HAS..." The needle was inserted into her arm, and her eyes went wide. It knocked her out in less then 1 minute. Picking up her body gently, the clone looked at her and then left the building.
Kasumi stared at her phone, then whipped out her old C1 outfit and put it on, tying her hair in a ponytail and grabbing her short sword before running out of the room. Hayabusa and Hayate caught sight of her and grabbed her arm.
"What's the rush?" Hayate asked. Ayane entered.
"Kasumi? Is there something wrong?" Ayane asked.
"LEI-FANG, IMPOSTER..." Kasumi said incoherently.
"I'll get my outfit!" And Ayane left, to reappear a minute later in her C2 as well. Hayate and Hayabusa stared at them and fan after them, getting the whole story on the way to Lei-Fang's apartment. The door was left open, Lei-Fang's cell phone on the bed, Misty meowing.
