(I can't decide on a name for the girl, if anyone as any ideas of a good name, please tell me in your reviews.)

Part 2 Of Lies and Betrayal

The girl pulled her own weight for a few weeks, though running away seemed forever on her mind. She knew she couldn't stay with these people, no matter how nice they were, she couldn't stand the idea of them knowing what she could do or why. She shuddered a little as she was given Ken's room. She didn't want to be any trouble.

"You'll do fine," Ken smiled at her after she had a bath and was given some of Omi's clothes which were a little big still. "You should eat."

She nodded though it felt strange to actually feel safe with these people, but of course she didn't trust them.

Her night came to run when they went out; they usually went out late on strange nights when a woman with black hair would show up. She only knew the woman as Burman, but she just pretended she wasn't there and would go about working with the elderly woman, Mamoe who smiled at her. "You remind me of my granddaughter," the old woman smiled at her. "She died along time ago, quite sad, her mother was always so proud of her."

The girl sighed remembering how proud her mother used to be, that was until her mother found out what she could do. She remembered the nights of yelling, the nights of being locked in her room, being told she was going to be sent away. That was when she had enough, though it had been so long ago that she didn't remember what had really happened.

She sighed again this time she brought out her trench coat and walked off, she sighed walking into the park. She never knew what it was like to be normal, she wanted to be normal, she didn't want to be a freak of nature. She walked up to a bridge and leaned against the rail looking down at the water, the moon was full and it looked nice.

"If you're going to commit suicide it's too shallow over here," she turned at the sound of a male voice, she saw a boy with brown hair and dark indigo eyes looking at her. "You are just like me, a loner."

"I wasn't going to commit suicide. I'm not that much of a coward," she stared at him.

"I suppose not," the boy smiled at her. "It is rather odd to see someone walking around in the park this late at night."

She blinked at the boy and started to feel panicky, she didn't trust the boy, she felt her mind going into that of a cat's. Without warning she changed into the body of a grey tabby and took off running from the boy.

"Come back."

She darted from place to place trying to get away, that was when she saw a man with white blond hair standing by a lamp, she hissed and darted up a tree. He blinked looking up at her. "What is that?"

"Don't go near her, Farfarello," the boy ran up looking a bit ill. "She's scared enough."

The cat climbed higher into the tree as another man came up, he was dressed in a green suit with long orange hair and green eyes. "What's going on Nagi? I heard a rather frantic little mind?" He looked up at the tree and then sighed. "Just a stupid cat."

"No, it's a girl, she was standing on the bridge with me and then suddenly she turned into a cat." The boy, Nagi protested and glared at the man. "If you shoot her, I'll make you sorry."

"Calm down, Chibi, that's an empty threat," the man laughed and looked up, the other, the one with white hair smiled. /Calm down girl, come down from that tree./

/Go away, leave me alone,/ the voice in his head screamed at him.

He just winced at the thoughts. /No, come down, we won't hurt you./

/No! Leave me alone. You don't know a damned thing about this. You don't know how I feel./

"Schuldich, stop it," Nagi was yelling at the orange haired man.

"Do you want her to stay up there?"

The cat bound down using Farfarello's head as a step and darted away, hissing. /You don't know what kind of hell I live!/

**

The next morning, the girl yawned feeling like her mind was totally going there what had happened to her the night before. She got up feeling scared and darted away, she didn't want to have anything to do with what happened.

She walked through the park and out into the streets that was when she saw the one, Schuldich. He was looking at her as she walked down the street. "So, little kitten, you decided to come out of the park," he smiled at her.

She stayed quiet and looked away; she struggled only to have him grab her spinning her around to look at him. "I know what it feels like to be called a freak, you know? I know what kind of hell you went through. So you shouldn't run from us. We're a lot alike."

/Leave me alone,/ she thought pulling away that was when she saw someone she was actually happy to see.

"Let her go, Schuldich," said a rather evil voice, Schuldich turned to face Aya who was glaring at him.

"Fine, just so you know, I'll be seeing you again," he smiled at the girl walking away.

"You ran away again?" Aya stared at her. "Why?"

"I had my reasons."

Reasons? She really didn't know anymore, if that guy Schuldich was so evil why had Aya cared. "I don't think you understand what the hell you're doing." He pulled her back to the flower shop. "Ken was worried sick about you."

She saw Ken's face when he saw her. "There you are! I can't believe you ran off like that!"

He knew better than to ask why, after all, run aways wouldn't give a reason. She walked into his room and sat down on the bed feeling as though this was truly home.

**

Crawford only listened to Nagi, he considered what had been said about the odd girl from the night before. "We must find her," he whispered. "An asset like her in the hand of the Weiss is out of the question. Get her."

Schuldich rolled his eyes and leaned back on the couch that he was lounging on. "Why do we need an changeling? Its more trouble than its worth, hell it was worse trying to get Farfarello out of the mental hospital in Paris."

"It doesn't matter. I had the idea that a girl like her could be useful."

**

She's been in there along time, Yohji thought when he saw Ken walking out of the bedroom. "How was she?"

"She had a run in with Schwarz, now its going to be a little more difficult to keep her safe," Ken whispered and then looked into the room again. "I really wish she would trust us. I don't like it that she's scared of what we could do to help her."

"Look, the kid's been abused, so far she thinks that if she stays with us, she'll be sent to some mental hospital or something," the ex-detective sighed. "I've seen run aways before, Ken. This girl though, I think that someone really made her unable to trust anyone. Sort of like Aya."

"Don't go comparing her to him. He knows when to trust people and when not."

That was too true about Aya, he didn't trust his team, though he kept to himself. He just stared at the door to Ken's room and sighed. "You okay?"

"Leave me alone!" the words were like that of a child.

"She's fine," he whispered and walked back to the flower shop. "Omi will work her shift."

**

Why? She was looking a mirror at herself, her dark eyes had changed color, it had only done this once, and now her green eyes were now cat yellow. She sat down on the bed and began to think, there was no way she could avoid the stares now. How do I leave? Those guys are still after me.

/Actually there is only one person after you,/ a voice in her mind was saying smugly. /So, do you want me to fight your boyfriends or are you going to come up? Either way, I really see no need to be civil./

/Leave me alone!/ She sent back to the mind that was talking to her.

/Why would I do that? After all, we're the same? You keep calling yourself a freak. Then what the hell am I?/

She got up and looked out a window seeing the man, Schuldich smiling at her. He turned to look up and chuckled. "So what will it be?"

"How about I just scream?" she whispered.

"Now.now, no need to alert those boys, I'm sure you do realize that you're in more danger with them than with me," the German smiled at her and chuckled.

**

Ken walked up to check on the girl and found that she was gone, but this time there was more of a struggle, he coat was on the floor and it looked like someone just grabbed her and left.

**

Schuldich made sure the drug kept the girl out until they were at the mansion; she woke slowly and pushed away. "Come on," he growled. "Don't make me drug you again."

"You kidnapped me!" She growled this time she went into an animal just as he grabbed her pulling her into an office after her parked the car. She scratched him, though it didn't help that she turned into the Weiss's own cat, Goalie.

A man with glasses stared in dulled silence as the cat leapt from Schuldich's scratched up hand and up onto a shelf. /Come down now!/ he was growling into her mind. /You dumb little minx!/

"Schuldich, be gentle. You just scared her."

"I don't give a rat's ass, Crawford, that thing is a nightmare!"
