Chapter 2: Kuni

"When we met you was running from someone do you remember who?" Seckmeht asked, girl shook her head. " No, I don't. I told I only remember bits and peice and you happen to be one of those memories." She said, Seckmeht nodded appecting that. " Who was the person you fought?" He asked, the girl sighed. " You are not going to leave me alone on that are you?" She asked but answered his question. " All I remember was I was walking down an alley when some guy attacked me from behind, he knocked me to the ground, I kicked him behind the knee and he fell and I jumped up. I couldn't see his face well he kept it hidden in the shadows, all I remember is his eyes, they .... they didn't look human." She amidtted. " What do you mean?" Seckmeht asked.

"What I said, they was so hardand so cold, like a dead man's eyes. Anyway he got up and we fought ..... he had something in his hand ..... a weapon I think a knife. He slashed me in the arms and then kicked my legs out from under me when I knocked the knife away. Then he beat me up, he knocked the wind out of me so I was stunned and he kept hitting me, that why I was so brusied up. Then he said something to me." She said pausing for a moment. "What?" "It sounded like: lets see those ronin fools protect you now girl. Once I'm done with you will wish they are not the ones to wacth after you." She said, Seckmeht didn't say anything but glanced down the hall for a moment then back to the girl. "What happened after that?" He asked, the girl wouldn't look at him or speak for a moment.

"Then he told me what he planned to do with me." She said shamefully and barely above a whisper, Seckmeht knew what she meant but before he could say anything she contuined in a stronger voice. "I fought like a wildcat after that, somehow I garbed the knife and I slashed him in the arms and knocked him off me. He tried to garb me but something happen and he didn't garb me so I ran. Something caught me in the ankle but I kept running under I couldn't run anymore. The last thing I remember was thinking that I needed to get somewhere safe then everything went black and I woke up in that bedroom."

Seckmeht looked down the hall again and after a few moments the Seasonals and Kayura came down the hall. "You have no idea what your name is?" Seckmeht asked the girl before she could ask if they had overheard the conversation. "I told you I didn't." She repiled getting annoyed. " We must have something to call you, if you don't remember your real name then until you remember we will have to substitude another for it." Kayura said, the girl frowned not liking where this was going, she looked away from the people, they had pertty much saved her life but there was something about them that made her nervous but she couldn't put her finger on it.

"That isn't nessicary. All I need to know is how I get to Tomaya if I not in Tomaya. Then once I recover my memory I can pay back the debt I own you." She said looking at the floor. *Okay so I don't want to go back to the street for that pysho to find me but I defently don't think staying here is such a good idea either.* The girl thought to herself. " I do not think we can let that happen. You said yourself some one attacked you, if he tries again?" Seckmeht asked. " Then I had better learn to run a lot faster." The girl said, Anubis shook his head.

" Since you have lost almost all of your memory it can be more dangerous now. You can't run froever." he said. " I can try." The girl said going on defense again. " Kinu, you ..." " What did you call me?" The girl asked Dais surpised. " I called you Kinu, it was my sister's name." Dais said after realizing that wha he had called her. " Kinu means silk and silk is one thing she isn't." Cale muttered, Kayura elbowed him in the ribs. " Kinu." The girl repeated thinking, she looked at the five people. " You say I can't run, what do you suggest I do?" She asked not beliving she was asking that question.

Another exchanges of looks and it almost looked like a telepath conversation was going on. "Stay here, until you recover your memory you can stay with us. But know this Kinu there are things we say that you must not question. The neigborhood is dangerous, so you must listen to us. Do you unstand?" Kayura asked. "Everything you say?" Kinu asked. "Pertty much." Dais said, Kinu bit her bottom lip, she had trouble with authority figures. But what choice did she really have? " Alright, until my memory returns then I'm out of here." She said.

"Bunt aren't you?" Dais asked, Kinu nodded. "Yea I guess I am." She said then she realized something. " Um ... this is probaly going to sound dumb but I have no idea what your names are." She said to them with a sheepish look, Anubis nodded. " I am Anubis, this is Dais," He motion to the white haried Ronin. " Cale," he motioned to the green haired Ronin. "Seckmeht," he motion to blue haired Ronin. " And Kayura." He motion to the black haired Anceint. Kinu nodded then looked at Cale. " Um .... I hope you're not going to wring my neck for kicking you earlier but you scared the daylights out of me." She said to him. " I unstand but one question: do you remember who taught you that?" Cale asked. Kinu looked at the floor as she tried to remember. " I don't know. Like I said I can't remember. I acted on instinct but I wish I could remember." She said. " Don't over do it Kinu, frocing you memory will only made your memeory loss wrose." Anubis said to Kinu.

Kinu nodded and Kayura gently ushered the her from the group returning her to her room and before leaving told her to rest and left locking the door behind her. " You know keeping this a secert will be nearly impossible," Kayura said to the four Seasonals, the four men nodded. " We know but I think she is in danger and since she has lost her memory what else can we do?" Seckmeht asked, Cale looked at his comrade qiuzzly.

"What are you getting at Seckmeht? This girl is a mortal, what danger can be to her?" He asked. " The despirction of her attacker's eyes and words Cale. ' Lets see those ronin fools protect you now girl. Once I'm done with you will wish they are not the ones to wacth after you.' I do not know about you but I think there is more to her then meets the eye." Seckmeht said his voice in a neutral tone. Kayura made a huming sound but it was Anubis who spoke. " Then we can do no other then to wacth after her until her memory is returned." Anubis said.
