The thoughts passed through, endless. Why did she seem so worried, what was it that worried her? It's easy. She sold her soul to the devil to save someone she was in love with.
That was several hundred years before.
Now the thoughts that passed through her mind were of a different beast.
Why did that strange girl walk out like she hated me?
' Ara...I wonder.'
The thoughts passed right through. They weren't clear or comprehensive, just there. She remembered everything, but it seemed a fuzz.
'What do I remember?'
A gunshot.
'What else?'
Crawling on the ground.
'her.'
She walked up, her cheeks were wet.
'It was dark outside.'
Kneeling down, and crying.
'she was my best friend.'
Pushing a piece of clothe next to the hole.
'forgot everything, washed me of my sins.'
Realizing that I was gone already. She told me she loved me.
'that strange feeling, when life left my body...the feeling of warm kisses on my mouth...and temple.'
Being lifted.
'I wasn't really conscious but I remember her carrying me...I remember...brushing her cheek with my hand...and..."
Darkness.

Natsuki sat alone in her apartment and scratched her head...then reached forward and scratched the head of a very loving puppy.
"Duran, what the hell is wrong with me!"
Whimper.
"Bark, grrrrdammit!"
Bark!
"Good boy."
The young woman got up from her place and walked over to her T.V. and turned it on.
"There's never anything on...is there boy?"
Whimper.
"You're fucking worthless."

Shizuru sat in the cafe and tried to swallow the food that now seemed embarrassing, after Natsuki's outburst.
Mai came with a new pot of tea and sat down opposite of the mysterious woman. She grabbed a piece of bread and started to chew on it...realizing too late that she might choke to death.
'cough'
Turning, with her mouth to the door she coughed some more.
'sh't ...cough...shft.'
Shizuru jumped up as quickly as she'd stayed down and wrapped her arms around the redhead's midsection...with great force...she...
"COUGH! WTFG Grabb...COUGH!"
Letting go, she eyed the woman suspiciously.
"Ara."
Mai sat down and gained her wits for a few moments and looked at the woman opposite of her.
"Thanks."
The silence was deafening.
"So how do you and Natsuki know each other?"
