-rewind- Kyoko left the destroyed Rukuso Region to change her life. On the boat she meets a girl, Anya, and together they are headed to new adventures in the city (I don't know which though)

"Let's go!" Anya shouted excitedly, taking Kyoko's hand and leading her off the boat. She hesitantly followed, not knowing what she would find here, the Genei Ryodan or not. But she followed anyway, watching Anya look through the windows of the stores they were passing. As she was watching the windows pass, Anya quickly pulled her into a shop. Anya ran up to the front desk and started chatting with the clerk.

"Anya, you are back. What business can we do for you?" the lady asked.

"My friend, Kyoko, wants to change her hair, you think you could? I told her that you were the best place in town and.." Anya started to tell the lady.

"Don't go any further.we would be happy to! Anything for 'the' Anya Storms! Just have a seat and we'll be with you in just a minute!" the lady rushed off in a hurry.

"You're quite popular around here aren't you?" Kyoko asked, noticing as the women from the hair salon watched Anya with mesmerized eyes.

"It's no big deal, my dad just owns the largest business in all this area, he's the one who's popular. He sent me off, that's why I was on vacation, cause he though I would interfere with his business proposition. No business man wants a child in their way." Anya told Kyoko, a sad look in her maroon eyes.

"Don't think of it that way.your parents care about you. I know it. I mean.." Kyoko was interrupted as the lady called her up to a seat.

"What would you like?" The woman asked.

"I don't really care, just change it completely, please."

"Are you sure?"

"Very." Kyoko replied. 'Goodbye Kuruta,' she thought to herself.

One hour later Kyoko was walking down the street, feeling far more different that she had ever felt. Her light red hair curled at her shoulders, compared to her old waist long blond hair. It was a change, but she couldn't hide who she was. 'the darkness I feel should be reflected, like the anger in my eyes.' She told herself. The change in appearance didn't suit her, she still felt the same pain of death inside her. 'I should had known this would not be enough. I have to try to put these dark feelings behind me.'

She had left Anya, telling her she was on a search for her own life, a new life. Anya had understood, replying that she wanted to leave her old life as well, she could make it on her own. Kyoko was surprised that this young girl could understand the why she wanted to change her life. Kyoko was alone now, again, just like before, except now she didn't feel empty inside. But her thought turned back on the Genei Ryodan, changing her perspective. 'No family, no friends, what's left to live for?' she thought as her eyes turned a dark black in the shadows. 'Oh, right. Revenge. My new goal in my empty life.' She calmed down, looking at the street ahead of her.

"I'll just follow this, see where it takes me." She said out loud, 'the road of revenge.' Her footsteps echoed through the empty alleys.

"I'm going to track every last one of you down, even if it's the last thing I do.." She told herself. A memory came back, from the day of the genocide. ~Everyone was running, it had been like a normal day til then. I was caught in the house, trying to decide what I would do, how I would save the ones I loved. My friends ran immediately after the fire started, stupid maybe. I was calm enough to stay in the house, throughout the flames. But 'he' stayed with me, and protected me from 'them', getting himself killed. I will never forgive myself for that, never. I don't know how my normal life as an 11(?) year old could change for much in practically an instant.~

"Genei Ryodan." She hissed, 'the name will haunt me forever.' Her eyes were beginning to turn, just as she stopped. 'What's wrong with me, all I do is think about the past, not what my future will be. I have to plan ahead.' Just then she passed a large deserted warehouse. 'I have to stay somewhere' she shrugged. Kyoko walked cautiously into the warehouse, grabbing a flashlight from her bag.(she takes her bag wherever she goes, I swear.) the light cut through the darkness, Kyoko saw nothing but darkness. It quickly shone over a large spider web and Kyoko fell backwards in fear. 'The symbol of the Genei Ryodan..' The thought of them flashed through her mind as she huddled against a box, her knees up to her chest. All of a sudden the box behind her shook, and someone or something jumped down from the top. Kyoko didn't care, she didn't care if she was killed of not. But it was only a cat, a dark black cat. It went up to her, it's calm black eyes looking straight at her, at her soul. It spoke.

"What's wrong?"

"Everything." Kyoko answered stiffly. All of a sudden she bolted up, pointing hysterically at the cat.

"You..you can talk!!" She shouted.

"Shh..keep it down, do you want 'them' to find us?" the cat replied as it started to glow. 'Light? What is this?' Kyoko thought as the light grew even more brighter. A new form took shape, the cat turned into a human. The short black hair fell onto her shoulders, the black leather jacket and clothes resembled what she was in cat form, black.

"So," Kyoko said calmly, half-smiling, "You're a humancat, a black cat. I've heard of you."

"Oh, you've heard of me have you? I'm Ricca, of the Black Cats if you didn't know that too." She said sarcastically, "I noticed you look sad, you need help?" she asked, changing her tone.

"There's nothing you could do to help, unless you can turn back time.."

"Right, revenge, I see." Ricca told her as her black cat ears twitched. Her long, silky black tail waved. Ricca's cold, black eyes looked straight at Kyoko.

"My father's a hunter, we're traveling together. Are you a hunter?" Ricca asked, tilting her head questionably.

"No, I just got here, I'm alone, why are you here?"

"That's something I should ask you..details please!"

"I'm out on revenge, as you said, to pay a little visit to the Genei Ryodan, that's all I have to say." Ricca nodded in response.

"Killers are they, dead your family is, and your friends. You are the only one left, you think. Am I right?" Ricca asked, her eyes closed, in somewhat of a trance.

"What?! How did you know that?"

"I could tell. I read minds, well, faces. I could sense your grief from a mile away. I'm sensitive ya know. " Ricca replied, "I know you want to talk to someone about it, the revenge. My father and I...are going for revenge on the Zoaldyecks, they killed my mother."

"I'm so sorry, I didn't know. But I never thought you had a life like that.you seem so.."

"Calm? No, not at all. I just keep my anger inside me, and when the time is right, I let it all out. Emotions are the strongest power, even in revenge." Ricca said sternly as Kyoko nodded. 'When I'm mad I always feel more powerful. But with the Genei Ryodan, my power erupts.' Kyoko thought for a moment about the things Ricca had told her.

"Wait! You said 'you're the only one, you think', what does that mean?" Kyoko asked, wondering if Ricca was psychic of psycho, "No one could had survived, I don't even know how I did."

"I cannot tell you, it isn't meant to be known. Back to my story. My mother was a Black Cat, extremely powerful. The Zoaldyecks, they wanted her power, wanted to wield her into an assassin. They could always use someone to fight along side of them. I've heard of their reputations, as being heartless assassins. My mother refused, and they killed her. I was only 8 then, but I can remember it all too well. I don't just wear black cause I'm a Black Cat, I wear because I think about her death often. I know who you are, a Kuruta, they were killed about a week ago, am I right? I could feel the death in the air." Ricca ended. Kyoko stepped back, this Black Cat was beginning to scare her. 'How could she know so much about me, she is a psychic!'

"You must be in greater pain than I am." Ricca said quietly. All of a sudden her cat ears twitched, sensing something. Ricca spoke up..

"We have to get out of here! Something's coming!" ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
