Well… go ahead and read chapter 4:

:Okies ppls… quick translator right here… bold: thoughts, underlines: flash-backs:

Hitomi ran to me, "Deunan… are you alright?"

I answered Hitomi truethfully, "Hitomi… just heart-broken…"

Hitomi moved her hand so that it was inches from my hair.

She whispered, "Your hair, Deunan…"

I scoffed, "What about it?"

She giggles, "You cut it…"

Chapter 4

I touch my hair, "So… When you first met me, my hair was short."

Hitomi removes her hand from my hair, "Yeah, but still… It's different."

"Well, Hitomi, we should move on.

We need to plan for our next attack."

"You act like this is a war."

"In my defense… this is a war," I make my way to a nearby fire escape.

Hitomi follows close behind, "But if this a true war, why does Intelligence not know of it?"

"Because this is a personal war."

"Oh… I still don't understand, How is it that we can create such anger towards one person?"

"Because we are human, and that is exactly what happens when one man kills another…"

"No… I mean… the anger which creates the lust for murder."

"If only I knew that answer myself… then I could have stopped this from happening."

"But Deunan, this isn't your fault… it's that man's own fault."

She continues, "If Briarios didn't make so many men angry, then I bet that he'd still be alive…"

I interrupt her, "So your saying that it's Briarios's fault!"

She replies timidly, "Not precisely…"

I yell at her angrily, "Then what are you saying!"

"I'm only saying that if that man could control his anger, then Briarios would still be alive."

I whisper to her sadly, "Or if I didn't make men so angry and I would stop getting myself in so much trouble, then I would still be with Briarios…"

To be continued…

Briarios: Ah… so it's my fault is it?

Serene: Well... erm… no… Hitomi backed me up…

Hitomi: Oh no… don't bring me up in this!

Deunan: Hey… Serene is just trying to make the story more interesting… so… will you make chappy 5 interestin… you know… with me kicking real ass?

Serene: DEUNAN! Don't give the chapter away!
