Hi everyone, there isn't much to say right now, so I'll just get on with the fic.

"Talking"

'Speaking telepathically'

Thinking

Leiko finished typing her report on the first day, and shut her laptop.

Schuldich had left a few minutes before she had finished.


She saw Brad.


"I'm going for a walk." She said, standing up and putting on a jacket.


"Don't even think about driving off or running away." Crawford said.


"You have my keys, and I wouldn't think about walking all the way to my house from here." She walked out the door.


"Schuldich, I want you to follow her," Brad turned around.


He nodded, and went out the door.


Leiko shoved her hands in her pockets as she walked down the street.

"What have I gotten myself into...?" She wondered out loud. She shook her head, as she crossed the street.

' What's this...' She thought.

In front of her was a flower shop, with girls crowding around the door. It looked like the shop hadn't opened yet. But she looked towards the door, and found that it was open.

'I wonder if they have this many customers every day.' Leiko thought.

"If you're not going to buy anything, then leave." She heard a male say.

"Men running a flower shop..." She smiled." What's next?"

She tried to make her way around the girls, but it seemed like it was impossible. Leiko sighed. How long will she be standing there before the girls leave. She pushed through them, even though some of them were yelling at her about cutting, and other things.

She looked into the window, even though she acted tough all the time, she had always like flowers. Especially white roses.

-Flashback-

"Wait!" The boy called out.

Leiko stopped, and turned around.

"Take this sack with you. There's food in it and a blanket...and a few other things you may need." He handed her the sack.

"Thank you, you're the only person close to a friend that I've ever had." She kissed him on the cheek, and ran off.

Leiko ran for about a half an hour, then stopped. She looked through the bag. Like the boy had said, there was food and a blanket. Plus a white rose.

Leiko took it out, and smelled it. She smiled, it reminded her of her mothers perfume.

She put everything back in the sack, and went on. The rain soon stopped, and Leiko found an orphanage. She went inside.

"Oh dear, you're soaked! What were you doing outside when it was raining?" One of the people in the front asked.

Leiko didn't answer.

"You must be cold. Where are your parents?" She asked.

"I don't have any parents. They're dead." Leiko held back her tears, and looked at the ground.

"Oh...oh my..."

"I was looking for a place to stay, and thought maybe I could stay here."

"Of course you can stay here. We'll get a bed made for you right away." The lady went off, and left Leiko where she was.

The woman came back. "What is your name?"

"Leiko."

"OK, and your last name."

"(A/n: Don't forget, she doesn't remember her last name.)"

"OK, right this way dear. We'll get you dried off, and warmed up." The woman led her to a room. "This will be your room while you're here. On

Sunday's we have church, and there will be school on weekdays."

"I have never been to church before," Leiko said quietly.

"Well, then this will be a good learning experience for you. Here are some clothes that will fit you, and a towel to dry off with," The woman left the room.

Leiko pulled out the white rose, and stared at it.

'That boy was so nice to me. No one has ever treated me that way before...I mean, my parents were nice to me and so were my maids. But I've never had anyone my age be nice to me...' Leiko put the rose into the sack, and shoved it under her bed.

She took the towel, and dried off. She then changed into the clothes the woman had given her.

-End Flashback-

"Maybe I'll come back later when this line dies down," She said to herself.

She continued to walk down the street, looking at the different shops.

"If only it was just as simple as running away, but that would be considered failing the mission. So I would be killed," She sighed. "Why didn't He tell me that this would be permanent?"

The sun began to set, and Leiko had decided to go back to the flower shop.

There were still girls there. Was it always like this?

'Let's see...do I even want to buy anything? Maybe...a white rose?' She thought as she stood in the line. About an hour later she was second in line.

"So much for only waiting a couple minutes..." She muttered.

Finally, it was her turn.

A kid with blonde hair was at the cash register.

"Do you sell single white roses here?" She asked him.

"No, we only sell half dozens and dozens of white roses. Sorry." He said.

"Oh, then I'll get" She began.

"Come on Omi. Let her have a single white rose." A man with blonde hair said from behind the kid.

"No, it's OK. I'll just take the half dozen." Leiko said, she got her money out of her pocket. "How much is it for the half dozen?"

"Thirty dollars. (A/n: I don't care, I'm just going to use dollars.)" The boy named Omi said.

She got thirty dollars out of her pocket.

"Twenty-five." The other man said.

"What?" Leiko asked.

"Only twenty-five dollars for you." He said.

"Uh...no thanks. I'll just pay the thirty," She said, handing Omi the thirty dollars.

Omi got the half dozen white roses, and handed them to her.

"Thanks." She said as she walked out of the flower shop. She saw something orange around the corner.

"What the hell..." She walked towards it.

It began to move, but she quickly grabbed it. It was hair. She pulled it towards her.

"How long have you been following me?" She asked Schuldich.

"The whole time." He said.

"You've been following me the whole time!" Leiko said angrily.

"Nice flowers," Schu said.

"Oh shut up." She let go of him, and walked back to her new 'home'.


Well, I guess that's it for now. Yawns I'm going to bed now. Please...re...view...
