She explained everything that had happened, her and Lex growing up next door to each other. She figured it wasn't a lie because his room was the next-door down. She continued leaving out certain parts like the fight they had and her past occupation before the virus when they asked her how old she was she lied and said she was 17 even though she was 4 almost 5 years off in her age. But what is a couple of years especially now in this world. She told them about how she got to the camp even about her friendship with Ebony, and her relationship with Bray. (Needless to say they all thought she was like Trudy just obsessing over him after all Amber is back from the dead there was no way Bray would go to another person.) Kimiko knew what they were thinking and she just smiled.

Her smile quickly turned into a frown. As she stood up she looked over and mouthed the words Please forgive me.' to the group. She finished by going over to Tai-san and said

"Zoot Be Praised." as Tai-san looked at her.

Then she saw the door was now open so Tai-san quickly responded

"And to his Chosen Victory."

As Kimiko turned around she said Now if you will excuse me I have to talk to Luke. We will continue are meetings another time.

As Luke and Kimiko turned the corner Luke slammed Kimiko against the wall she tried to call out not only from the pain but for help. It was to late Luke had his hand over her mouth. He quickly forced her into a room that was down the hall. He threw her on to a couch and shut the door as he did so the room went black.

As the door shut Kimiko leaped off the couch and tackled Luke and tried to knee him but he was to quick. He rolled over on top of her and tried to pin her arms, down but she was finally able to kick him. She was trying to find something anything to hit him with as much as she hated to after everything he has done for her, but she had to wipe all of that out of her head. Come on Kimiko just hit him she thought to herself, he couldn't be the same Luke you knew. If he were the same Luke he would never do this. Part of her wanted to kill him the other part wanted to get up smack him and yell what the Heck is wrong with you?

Against her better Judgment she chose the latter of the two. She pulled her knees up to her chest now looking back on it she didn't realize she could get her legs to bend that far up, the pain was now kicking in she must have pulled something. She felt her feet go into Luke's stomach. She kicked as hard as she could and he went flying into a nearby wall as she scrambled to her feet she felt a table. She ran her hands quickly over the table praying that there was a...

she said out loud.

There was a lamp on the table. She turned it on and she saw it was her room, but it couldn't be could it? She then noticed Luke walking toward her she pushed him to the ground and from a back pouch that hung on her belt, she pulled her knife she had almost forgot about it until it's case dug into her back when Luke was on top of her. She held the knife close to his throat. She left just enough room that when he breathed he wouldn't get cut by the blade, she didn't want to hurt him but she would if he forced her to.

"What do you think you were doing?" she asked as he tried to sit up.

"I am sorry but I had to talk to you somewhere, where you could not avoid the subject. I didn't mean to scare you. I am sorry." Luke said

Kimiko looked into his eyes. His eyes were the same as they were the last time she saw him, her guardian angel. She started to walk away from him.

"What is all of this about it's just like..." Kimiko was cut off by Luke wrapping his arms around her, she didn't even realize that she wasn't able to stand properly. She had pulled the muscles in her legs and now they felt like Jell-o from her kicking Luke off of her.

"I always hoped you would come back. Well come back under better conditions, like without the guardian here." Luke said as he turned her around and looked into her eyes.

He saw the confusion in her eyes but, he also saw so much more like love, hope, kindness, and his future. But he could never the guardian would not allow it she was Zoot's and only Zoot's.

"So I had them build your room everywhere we have gone just the way you left it. You do remember what happened don't you." He asked

She knew, she always would. How could he even ask her that how could anyone forget something like that? She could still smell the fumes and she could hear his laughter growing louder and louder. She snapped herself out of it. She couldn't think about that. She couldn't tip her hand. She need everyone to think that she thought it was an act of Zoot and not the Guardian. She needed to have everything come out of left field all at once or never at all.

"Bits." She finally said.

"Can we go get something to eat?" She quickly said as she headed out of the room and to the café.

As Kimiko and Luke sat in the café eating they started to talk.

"How much do you remember?" Luke whispered

"Like I said just parts like I remember the fire, trying to get out and then you looking over me with tears in your eyes. Then the next thing I am with a girl who is talking to me." Kimiko said trying to avoid eye contact she hated to lie.

After everything her father put Lex and her through. She couldn't stand liars, even though she was turning into one.

"I need to go for a walk. " Kimiko said getting up from the table.

Heading out of the mall she blew past the Guardian before he had a chance to talk to her. She pushed away a guard who was standing in her way he went straight into a wall.

Once she was out of sight she started to run. All she could think about was going to camp and Lex, she had to talk to him she couldn't take it anymore. He needed to know the truth. He wasn't going to be happy but he needed to know, about everything that has happened before and after the virus. She ran as fast as she could when she finally had to stop. She found a big tree to lean on she should have known she couldn't run in the outfit she was now wearing. She couldn't believe the Guardian insisted on her wearing this thing it wasn't half bad but she couldn't do anything in it including breath. As she looked down on the outfit she was now wearing.

She took in how it look on her, the shirt was forest green one sleeve on one side nothing on the other with a black corset over top of it pulled as tight as it could. The pants left little to the imagination she let out a small laugh thinking about what Lex's reaction was going to be. The pants fit her perfectly but had little use, it wouldn't be able to keep her warm considering that there was a small one inch slit every half inch going all the way up to the waste band. She decided she better get going if she was going to make it to the camp and back before nightfall.

"You stupid girl you don't even know where you're going or what you are going to say when you get to camp and back to the mall." She said to herself

"Do you always talk to yourself." Kimiko spun around to see who it was.

She was so happy to see Dal standing there.

"Hi is everything okay I thought you weren't coming back for 2 more days." Dal asked.

"Everything is fine. I just needed to talk to Lex and I didn't want to wait. But I just realized he took me a different way to get to the mall, so I could see where the meeting place is. So I am afraid I am lost." Kimiko said still following Dal through the woods.

"Well you weren't to far off." Dal said as he stepped through the woods to the camp.

As Kimiko stepped through she looked around and saw Lex deep in conversation with Bray she couldn't help but smiling at the sight of those to getting along. Then Lex had to go and foul it up. He saw Kimiko standing there and pushed Bray away from him started to run towards Kimiko. As he got close enough she could see the worry in his eyes. As she looked behind him there was Bray with the same look not to far behind him.

"Are you okay? What are you doing here? Did that creep do anything to you?" Lex shot off question after question.

He kept turning her around and looking at her to make sure that she had no injuries. Kimiko was just starting to feel as if she was going to lose her balance from Lex turning her so much, when Bray finally caught up to Lex.

"Lex if she is hurt you're probably only making it worse, plus she can't get a word in edge wise with the way you are carrying on." Bray said as he put his hand on Lex's shoulder.

Kimiko was thankful Dal was there, as she leaned on him to regain some of her balance. She looked at Bray and their eyes meant one another. That's when the whole world seemed to stop. Everything went into slow motion as she watch him. At first she couldn't figure out what was happening Bray ran towards her and grabbed her

It's okay. Don't worry, I've got you. She heard Bray say as she closed her eyes

As Bray helped Kimiko to the ground she decided that it would be best if she just sat there for a moment just to make sure that when she got up she wouldn't fall. As Kimiko started to get up she was offered a hand which she great fully took, when she looked up the first thing she saw was that the hand belonged to The Guardian. Looking around everything started moving in slow motion again. Dal and Ebony were in front of her covered in blood, Bray and some of the others from camp were fighting the chosen and Lex stood in front of her with two guards by his sides. She got up and tried to run to him, but the Guardian stopped her by grabbing her that is when he threw her into total shock by kissing her.

"Thank you my dear. Zoot will be proud we never would have found this camp if it wasn't for you." As Lex heard the Guardian say this he broke away from the two guards.

Kimiko tried to stop him but it was to late. The knife that was in Kimiko's holder on her back was now in her stomach and she fell to the ground. She could her Lex talking to her.

"Everyone is dead and it is all because of you! You are not my sister! I don't even know who you are anymore!"

The last things she saw was Bray killing Lex. Then with his back turned to them, the Guardian turned and killed Bray. As his lifeless body hit the ground everything started to go black.
