It had taken Kida 1 day and 1 night to make her way back to the Midgar regions from Icicle. She was tired and slightly anxious she didn't know what to expect- her Matron was so cruel to her and her siblings, the fear still lived inside her. She thought back to the day she decided enough was enough;

It was gloomy and dark, a storm similar to the one that had stolen the life of her dear brother was brewing. It had been 2 months since his tragic death, Kidasama now 7, would lay awake every night crying out for him. However on this day, little weary Kida had taken her Maya, her little sister now 5 to the secret garden, a little squat were a cluster of dainty flowers flourished. It was a rare sight seeing flowers especially in Midgar, Tenchi would often say that the ground they grew on was holy- he would make them take off their shoes as they tended to them, only allowing them to pick one flower a year "They're too precious, we mustn't be greedy!"

"Oh god Tenchi...you were such a dork!" Kida mumbled to herself...

When both Kida and Maya returned a; fat, greasy looking pimp man named Don Corneo was sat in the kitchen talking to Matron

"Where have you been girl!" she screamed as she grabbed both girls in either hand

"We...we went for a walk" Kida didn't want to tell her about their secret garden, matron hated the fact that they were so sentimental

"Come with me now, there's a really important man waiting here to see you both" she headed back to the kitchen, suddenly she stopped and faced them both grinding her teeth she gritted

"He is a very powerful man and extremely rich, don't you dare act foolishly in front of him or you'll have my fist to answer to do you hear!"

Both girls gulped, wide eyed "Y..yes Matron!"

When they saw him the first thing they stared at was what was in his mouth ; a giant, chunky lit cigar. It stank and made Kidasama gag and cough.

"So this is her I see, the beautiful young Maya!" he snorted, touching her cheek, she flinched as she watched his eyes examine her, "Is she fresh?!"

"Certainly Lord Corneo"

"And what of her sister say what on earth is that on her face? Its blue!" he snarled looking at Kida, she gave him a dirty frown that made him straighten up and turn his head

"I think it is a birth mark, I know I know a hideous looking thing it is but you are welcome to take the other girl if you wish..." Matron responded

"Take? Maya! NO! NO! YOU CAN'T TAKE MAYA MISTER!!" Kida bellowed, she received a dry slap across her face, that stung her eyes and threw her to the floor

"Kida!" Maya yelled she tried running to her side but Matrons grip was just too strong.



"Very well, she'll do, I haven't had a blonde in a very long time" Corneo grunted "Here 500 as promised"

He handed her a heavy pouch. Matron's mouth watered as she took hold of it. Kidasama stood up trying to grab hold of her little sister who in return was trying to run to her. Suddenly Corneo pulled out a handkerchief placed it over Maya's face, she passed out immediately.

Without saying a word, he lifted little Maya over his shoulder and walked out, only turning around to salute Matron, who was wrestling Kidasama to the ground. As the door shut the shrieking Kida punched and kicked her Matron as hard as she could, her cries could be heard miles away which began to infuriated the now wealthy Matron. Kidasama collapsed at hearing the sound of his car trailing off into the distance. Dismal in defeat, Kidasama lye lifeless on the floor whilst Matron began whipping her with an old dog chain. It was only at midnight after she awoke from a dazzling nightmare, did she decide that she was going to run away and never come back.

"I'll make her pay for what she did to us" Kidasama thought to herself. She had finally arrived at the old sector she lived in so long ago- in fact it had been 14 years since she had last set her eyes upon her first home who she herself named 'Hellhouse'.

"God...nothing changes" she mumbled as she looked around the neighbouring shelters. The same rotten people, now old and frail, the ones that would see and hear the horrifying acts of Matron and turn a blind eye. No one cared, not a single person tried to help them, they only had each other- but that was all they needed. Only when there was no one left was Kidasama truly weak, truly afraid. She scowled at the old man that resided next door as he gasped at seeing her. He immediately recognised her, what he knew, she was not interested. Kidasama simply headed straight for the front door of Hellhouse...
