She sat silently in the shadows, shearching desperatly for some kind of shelter. it had just started to rain, and the wind blew harshly in her face. "what have you done this time cassie?" she thought to herself while checking her suroundings. She'd done what she had to do. run away.

Cassie didn't like running from her troubles, but in her mind, she was only escaping the bad people who wanted to hurt her. She was running to trouble as well, finding herself alone in a street in Tokyo, shivering in the rain, and trying to find some food that isn't decomposing in the garbage bins.

She heard a strange vioce from near bye, and looked up to see a coulpe of punk looking kids up ahead. she decided she'd change directions. Heading in the opposite direction however, she heard one of the boys cat call her. there was a bunch of laughing, and as Cassie quikend her pace, she could hear footsteps behind her. She looked back to make sure that she wasn't imagining it. No, they were following.

Cassie became afraid. She began to pick up her pace, running down the street, and having no idea where she was going. Taking a turn, she stole another glance behind, and saw that they were right behind her! Cassie began sprinting, but they were runnign just as fast. Thinking that this would be the end of her, Cassie flew around another corner, and-CRASH! ran straight into someone. Without thinking, she began to plead with whoever it was for help. "I'm being chased!" she cried, and saw te form she had ran into stand up.

Cassie gasped, wondering if whoever this is, is apart of the group she'd been trying to run from. He was tall, with orange hair and a look of extreme rage on his face. "watch where you're going!"he snapped, and pushed her aside. Cassie gasped. Surely this man would kill her...

"please!" she cried, "don't hurt me!" she fell to the ground to protect herself. He looked down at her. There must have been some pitty in his eyes, as he looked down at the frightened girl. "hey" he said. "i'm not going to hurt you." Cassie looked up. as she was about to get up, a hand grabbed Cassie's arm and a rough voice said," hey, this whore is ours, go get your own!" the rest of the gang laughed at this statment, as a tough looking man, proabably the leader, tried to drag Cassie away. "NOO!!" Cassie screamed desperatly, trying to get away. "Hey!" the orange haired boy said, taking Cassie's other arm and picking her up towards him. "I said, GET YOUR OWN!" the dirty man said, tugging Cassie's arm to his grimy chest. The others in the group stepped towards the orange haired boy, sneering and cussing under their breath. "she's ours" they murmured. "just give the fukin slut up, what's she to you anyway?" "the prange haired boy didn't seem to like these comments. "she obviously doesn't want to go with you, so back off!" he yelled, glaring meaningly at them.

The men came forward, edging towards them, like they were dying for a fight. "well then, we'll just have to take her, and may you fukin pay for keeping her from us!" The man said, and yanked Cassie's arm really hard. She cried in pain, while the orange haired boy let go, and she crashed into the strange man. The bot sent a flying kick at the men closest to him, and they went flying. The boy seemed to smile to himself as he beat them right and left. soon all that was left was the one holding Cassie's arm. "let go!" the boy yelled, glaring at the strange man. "you try and stop me!" the man yelled in return, and flung Cassie to the ground like a rag doll as he prepared to fight the boy.

the boy went flying at the man, and a vicious battle soon comenced. however, the boy was once again the winner. As the man stumbled off in retreat, Cassie looked at the boy with wonder in her eyes. "thankyou!" she whispered. the boy looked down at her. "don't mention it." he stated, and began walking off. "huh? HEY! WAIT!!" Cassie yelled, and got up to start chasing him.He turned around. "look girl, I saved your tail, now leave me alone, ok?" He turned to leave again, but Cassie stoped him. "Just tell me this!" she said, "what is your name?" he paused a moment before answering her. "Kyo" and he left. "kyo..." cassie said to herself..."so there are good people in this world."
