Chapter 4: Her Past Revealed

The two teenagers walked along Tokyo's streets in silence; they had to walk a couple of blocks before entering the alley. Wickens Alley was a super long alley that ran from one side of the city to pretty much the other side. It was formed by the backs of various bulidings (like the alleys the Bladebreakers go through in Hong Kong). There were occasional exits along the alley, but it was mainly a continuous brick wall on either side of this dimly lit backstreet. As the two entered the alley Cassie giggled quietly.

"What's so funny?" asked a puzzled Kai

"You are! I mean earlier on today you totally ignored me, and now you're walking me home," giggled the girl. "You're such a mystery!"

"Yeah well count yourself lucky, cause I don't usually help people I don't know."

Another silence fell upon the two, only their footsteps could be heard.

"Why do you always push people away Kai?"

"What?!" This question caught Kai off guard, it was totally unexpected.

"Well to me you seen the 'Lone Wolf' kinda guy. I just wondered why... Is it because of your childhood..."

"Who told you about that!" demanded Kai

"It doesn't matter who, I just don't understand why you let your past haunt you."

"You have no idea what my past is and I doubt you'd understand what I've been through if you did!" shouted Kai, he quickened his pace.

Cassie followed behind at normal pace but gradually slowed to a halt.

"You're not the only one with a shattered childhood, but I don't let mine haunt me."

"What?!" Kai stopped and turned to face the girl behind him.

"I'm an orphan too," she said sadly, avoiding his gaze.

"But your mother... You said.... She...."

"I'm adopted. My real family lived in North Korea. When I was only a baby, some soldiers stormed our village; my mother gave me to a neighbour who was fleeing the village by horse. Before my mother could escape a soldier shot her. They also murdered my father and two older brothers, I was the only one who survived. Luckily my neighbour knew my family well; she passed me onto my grandmother who lived across the border in South Korea. Grandma took care of me dearly, sadly she died when I was five. I had no other family so I was put up for adoption, where a Mr. and Mrs. Greendale adopted me into a stable family unit. Only now they're getting a divorce. Some stability!" she sighed sadly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know about your family..."

"It's ok. If I'm honest I don't remember them, only odd memories of my Grandma. I only have this one picture to remember them by."

She pulled out a photo from her purse and handed it to Kai. It showed a handsome man, with brown hair and a beautiful woman, with long black wavy hair; they both wore traditional robes, one white and one pink. They stood either side of an elderly woman, also in tradtional dress, who was holding a baby - Cassie. In front of them sat two boys dressed in green robes, they had short brown hair like their father, they looked about 5 and 7 years old. All were smiling like a family should.

"You've got your mother's looks," said Kai without thinking. Realising what he said, his cheeks turned slighty pink - lucky for him the alley was quite dark so Cassie didn't notice.

"Well I'm not sure about that, but thanks anyhow." she said returning the photo to her purse and started to walk along the alley. Kai followed silently.

"You know Kai, we're not so different. We both have our secret dark past. I mean your one of only three people that now I'm adopted, the others are Hilary and Daren."

"Is that your boyfriend?"

"Oh gosh no! He's my bestfriend, like a brother to me he is."

'So she's single' thought Kai as they came to a courtyard in the alley.

Then he noticed Cassie had stopped walking. Her eyes stayed staring across the courtyard, they flickered in fear.

"What's wrong?" asked the captain.

"There's someone there, up ahead." she whispered

Kai looked to where she was pointing. Sure enough he could see the silhouette of a cloaked figure standing at the opposite end of the courtyard. Suddenly there was a loud explosion, the buildings either side of Cassie and Kai shook viciously sending a tower of bricks hurtling towards the two teens.
