(a/n out of the pity for those of you who were devastated by the first chappie)
A girl with a rose adorning her hand stood out in the rain. She was starting anew, or already was new, she never knew
anymore. She had driven her soul off the edge of a cliff with no safety net underneath. How could this have happened? The
cards burned a hole through her pocket. She hated them but couldn't let them go. They had been her demise. She was
burned and battered and when she had arisen from the ashes, with a new mind she saw a man who was not a man but a boy.
Her old memories accounted a man who was strong and defining. This boy was not. He was not the hero he had once
claimed to be to her.
She had a vision of Kero bound in chains that squeezed on him too tight embedded in her mind. The cards did not save him
this time. Had everyone betrayed them?
She undid her outfit to look at her back. The word that was burned into her flesh burned her eyes but she stared at it
anyway. 'Hunter' sprawled gracefully there in a brow cinder but it held a deadliness that haunted her dreams and reminded
her of things best forgotten. Her hatred for Li was real but it was something that had 'this' not happened would not be there
and something that her former school-girl self could never imagine. She was sick of the neighborhood she grew up in. long
ago she had moved to the nastiest part of Japan, somewhere know one would look. Somewhere she got hit on everyday and
stalked home; it's funny that she was still alive at all. But she had to defend herself she didn't want anymore nightmares, ones
that she got raped by a guy with no life and anyway she needed to say goodbye to…Li.
