Chapter 6 Kira's Rough Past

A peek into the Kira's past

My life started off like any normal kids should. I had a mother and father who both loved me. My father was a martial arts master and started teaching me the moment I could walk properly. My mother never was too keen on me learning but agreed that I needed to learn to protect myself. Every time I got hurt mother was always my personal nurse. All in all my life was perfect. Until the year I turned five. After a few weeks after my b day my mother became ill. It was to the point she could not recover. That was when me and dad lost her. We were both drowned in sadness, but kept up our daily routines as best we could. When I was seven my dad married another women that had an older boy of her own. Neither one cared for me. The women always treated me like I was a servant when dad was at work and was nice around him, saying that I just didn't like her because she wasn't my mother. In my dads sadness then becoming happy again he always believed her. Because of her my dad and I grew farther apart and there was nothing I could do. The boy wasn't much better. In fact he always bullied me around, shoving me in walls pushing me down, all those sorts of things. By the time I was sixteen I had enough. Apparently that's when I started to look appealing to him because then it turned from painful bulling to sexual abuse. That was my last straw. That's is when I used my training and put him in his place. His mother didn't like it and complained to my dad. So my dad punished me for defending myself. That night I had had enough of all my family. So I was able to find my own apartment and pay my fees by working in the apartment building on the weekends, since I had school. Word got out that I had beat my step-brother and everyone started to challenge me. By this time I was tired of being pushed around. So without getting into trouble with the law or at school I would always beat them one way or another. By the time I was nineteen I developed the reputation of being the toughest girl around. That was also the time I lost all sense of friendship, happiness, and all those useless emotions. I wasn't a hard tough person, just didn't put myself out for anyone. I kept to myself, my studies, and my work. That was it.

End peek.

"Now I am twenty-one and those feelings really have not changed. Its not really been a bad life, just a tough one that has made me stronger with each day." Kira finished her story. By this point Kira had gotten a glazed look about her face, almost to the point she might cry. But not a single tear dropped.

Blackwargreymon could only look at Kira. Never did he think that this small girl could have gone through so much. Now he saw why she tried acting so tough. She just didn't want to be seen as the weak girl that was beaten up by everyone she came too. That's why she pushed herself to the point of exhaustion. In a weird way they were alike. Both had suffered a harsh beginning and have both grown into strong individuals. Blackwargreymon closed his eyes and spoke. "Now I understand why you and I are partners."

Kira looked up at him. "Why is that?"

"We have both in our own way suffered a harsh beginning and have learned to become strong from that hardship. In a manner of speaking we are alike in many ways. So far at least we are a perfect match."

Kira squinted her eyes in thought and looked down. He is right. "Your right. Guess we are a perfect match."

They both stayed in their thoughts for another moment until Kira yawned. "Man that trip and reliving my past has took a lot out of me."

Blackwargreymon opened his eyes and looked at Kira. "You are right. It is time we got some rest. We do still have a ways to go."

Kira groaned. "All right all right." Kira laid down and shut her eyes. "Night Blackwargreymon."

Blackwargreymon laughed quietly to himself. "Goodnight Kira." Blackwargreymon waited until he heard Kira's breaths slowed signaling she was asleep. Then he took off his arm and shoulder armor. Laying down he positioned himself were he was around Kira in a protective manner, but not close enough to were he was touching her. Once he was comfortable Blackwargreymon closed his eyes and was soon asleep.
