Rating: PG-13

Summary: Well, taking after Faith Jim's sister(which is after Jim is Gone), you'd probably have to read those first to understand this. Anyway, onto the summary. Suzuka's past is intertwined with Ira and his business. Now Z, the girl who is somehow connected to Ira, wants revenge to avenge Ira's death and something Suzuka did long ago. The other's are curious as to what she did. Suzuka doesn't want to really say. It's a long adventure to where Z wants to fight her. The other's follow. Can they help their samurai friend? Or will she push them away? A lot of stuff happens and we learn of how Sherri came to be. How the zombies came to be. Why Z was with Ira. And why she's now after Suzuka. Yuri in later chapters.

~~~~~~~~~ ONE DAY AFTER THE PARTY....

Everyone was up and lively the morning after. It was eleven and they all were prancing around and arguing like nothing had ever happened. Kitsami Skysurfer and Melfina were making breakfast that morning. Jim, Faith, Gene, and Aisha were in the back playing baseball. Rina was inside watching cartoons, waiting for breakfast. Of course they all were bummed that Suzuka left when everything was getting good but she might had something important to do. She would come back. Suzuka always came back.

While Melfina and Kitsami were making breakfast, they started talking about Harry. Kitsami was curious who Harry was and how he came back to life, and why Melfina cared about him so much. She was married to Gene so she couldn't have that much of those feelings for Harry.

"Well, Harry was...was...okay. He was scary at times but it turned out after all that he only loved me like Gene did. When I heard he died I was heart broken. I had liked him too. Just as I friend. I don't want him to be killed again for coming back to life when he didn't even ask to in the first place. Harry's an android like me too," Melfina explained to Kitsami. Kitsami nodded in understanment. "I hope that the police aren't to rough on him...He really IS a good guy..."

Kitsami said proudly "Don't worry, Mel! I'm a police officer too and I can pull strings. My daddy is the head of the police force around here so we have the advantage."

Melfina smiled. She sure hoped that Harry would be okay. After all, his brother and new sister Sherri were gone now. He wasn't under Ira's control anymore so he had no desire to kill. Hopefully there was noyone that was under his control that still wishes to kill. Melfina knew that killing was wrong. Especially when it's aimed at people who are only trying to help.

* * * *

Suzuka was out near the dock, looking at the water. Why now? Why did Z have to appear right now? Right after their battle with Ira was over. It made the samurai women very suspicious in what was really going on. Z...a mysterious girl who trusted nobody. Especially Suzuka.

The grudge that Z held was in the wrong place. Suzuka was hired to do it. Paid to. Even though she knew that it would hurt Z deeply she was paid a high amount of money to kill him off. So, naturally to survive, Suzuka killed him. Suzuka didn't think about it that much these days. That day was as clear as day to her.

*Flashback*

Suzuka stood over the dead body of Uitan. She knew that she had done her job and was about to leave and she turned around. There was a ten year old girl, terrified of her father's corpse that laid bloodied on the floor of their hallway. Suzuka's heart dropped. Little kids shouldn't see this. Suzuka knew from that moment that she could never forgive or make up for that moment.

The little girl Zeke, or she called herself Z, held a grudge against Suzuka now. Doing anything to get revenge. A young girl who quickly became a murderer. With no family left she probably saw no other place to go. Fighting was a way to vent.

But nothing would make it go away. Z knew Suzuka had to go or nothing would make her happy ever again.

*End Flashback*

Still to this day, two years have gone by, and Z hated Suzuka worse than ever before. She knew that she never should have taken that lame job. Even with the money she felt like her heart was torn out of her body when she saw Z's hurt face look at her father. Her blooded sword over him. Suzuka looked in the water and saw her reflection. Could she ever let this go? Could Z ever forgive her? Suzuka knew what it was like to loose your whole family. Your only family. It hurts like nothing else. That's why she wanted to keep Faith and Jim together so badly, keep Jim together with Gene, because they were like brothers.

What did Suzuka have now? A past. A future. With noyone around her now. Well, that was her fault also. She didn't want this to be their problem. This was her deal and they needed a rest anyway. Gene needed to get back to his lazy days, Aisha needed to get back to her eating, Faith and Jim needed to work, Rina would watch cartoons, Melfina would cook, and then Kitsami would be with one of them doing one of the things they do. Suzuka looked at her wooden sword. Maybe...she should stop fighting for a while. Try to live like a normal person for once. Instead the way of the samurai. It was tiring anyway. It was tiresome going after this nobodies for little sums of money. Waiting for that big deal to come. It never did. Probably never will. Unfortunately, Suzuka won't be there to see everyone for much longer. Even if Z was only twelve years old now she was a trained killing machine turned that way from experiments. Switching her brains chemicals, the logical of way thinking, into a violent termoil that never ended even if she would try. Suzuka did feel sorry for Z. In more ways than way.

Even so, when they battled, it would be a death match. No holding back. That twelve year old had the power of a man. A grown man at that. Suzuka sighed. Time to say good-bye's she guessed. Everyone atleast deserved an explanation of why she was leaving for good. They'd have a fit if they didn't know that she was leaving and noticed she was gone for so long. She turned around and there stood a small shaded figure standing ten feet away. Suzuka held out her sword.

"Z...is that you?" Suzuka asked. No answer. "Z! I know that's you! What do you want? If it's a fight you want, not here. There's to many people. Somewhere else would be great."

With a sudden clash, Suzuka had to protect herself and hold up her sword to block Z's metal sword. Sword slashes and fighting emerged from there. Suzuka rushed away with Z following close behind her. Leaving some of the tiles cracked from her powerful chi.

Suzuka stopped when they got to a secluded area which was behind a warehouse. Z threw off her trench coat and there was a small twelve year old girl. Long black hair. Small blue eyes. A skin tight black outfit with her sword sheath on her belt. Full of shurikens and hooks of many sizes. It together had to be fifty pounds and she was so fast still!

"Suzuka...revenge will BE MINE!!!" yelled Z as she rushed forward with her sword raised above her head.

Jumping high in the air, Suzuka looked up. Damn! Z was using the sun behind her as a blinder. Suzuka couldn't see where she was but jumped back as she felt air rush down in front of her. Z's sword clashed into the ground resulting into a large hole forming, with rocks flying in the air, Suzuka knew she had to be careful.

Or she'd be killed.

"What's wrong Suzuka? Getting old? I'm just getting ready to slice you up," Z said with a chuckle as she became clear from the cloud of dust. "So? You ready for another round? I'm not letting you go. Not even if you beg for mercy."

"As you wish," Suzuka said.

The two girls ran at eachother, with Suzuka holding her sword at her side, and Z above her head like before. Suzuka suspected that she'd do that air trick again but suddenly Z stopped dead in her track and disappeared.

*Where'd she go?!* Suzuka thought to herself. She looked around. *Behind...me?*

"Yes," said Z. She put her hands together like she was praying, putting all sorts of chants together.

"Z! Don't do that here! You'll destroy the city for miles! Stupid little girl!" Suzuka yelled at Z. She turned around, throwing her sword to stop her dangerous attack.

Z had to un lock out of her chant and jump in the air.

"I'll still get you yet, Twilight Suzuka!" Z screamed and threw a hook with a jagged edge at the end at Suzuka, hitting her in the shoulder and it spurted out blood. Z landed in front of Suzuka who was holding her shoulder that bled in her hand. "That's my going away present! You better be more careful, or you'll get seriously injured...."

With no more words, Z disappeared once again. Leaving Suzuka confused and with a hook in her right shoulder.

"Damn...t..hat little brat!" yelled Suzuka as she pulled the hook out. Resulting in a yelp of pain and blood coming out in small little streams. "I have to get to the others. Get this treated. And get out soon. Or this whole city will be destroyed from our fighting."

* * * *

Not far away sat Z in the tree. She was now in a schoolgirl outfit, with her long hair flowing in the wind. That samurai women would pay. Pay for the hurt.

"I won't let you go Suzuka," Z said as she watched Suzuka walk away from the scene. "Not even if I have to kill this whole town to do it. And I would have done it too if she hadn't-AH!-"she yelped as she held her left side. A tiny little gash formed "She really did get me. That witch. I'll have to be more careful to in using the Fireball teqnique."

She was pissed off. She took out one of her shurikens and killed a bystander with just a throw to the neck, bringing a crowd. Z laughed. That would soon be Suzuka.
