"Uh...my head..."
She was almost completely unable to move, when still strapped to the wall. Her head felt like a waterfall, with the thoughts flowing, her being out of control to understand what was going on.
Or, what HAD been going on...
That was...Kenshin, wasn't it? With a gun...something, something about going..back, back to Japan...she resisted, he pulled the trigger...why was she alive?
"Keshin...you...god...damned...BASTARD!!!"
For each word she breated, she tried to break free from the wall, and when she came to yelling "bastard", they broke. Surprised that her attempt in breaking free actually worked, she tried to ease the fall with her hands, but they got scrapes and bruishes, and the blood started to trickle. She rolled over, and lay on her back, looking up while breathing heavily. She then closed her eyes.
"I'm free...Finally."
She slowly rose from the floor. Then, she saw blood, splattered on the wall where she had been hold up.
"Shimatta!" She cursed, staring at the red pattern with disbelief in her eyes.
"Who else...who else, could have been in here?"
Her eyes searched the room, for something, anything that could explain the blood. But the only thing she found, was her katana.
"Yeah! There it is!"
She picked it up, and hid it away. If the american police somehow should find her with it, she would have a hard time explaining why she was carrying a sword.
"Better get the hell outta here." She decided, starting to run out of the dungeon. And as soon as she got out, she decided to call SOK. An explanation of Kenshin's behavior, she really deserved that...
When I find you Kenshin...
I won't make your sufferings easy...

"Otacon, where did you put the can with chopped tomatoes?" Snake called, stirring in the cauldron with sauce. He had decided to live with his friend for a while, since Otacon insisted, after he had came back from the streets, and embarrasingly apologized his behaviour. This was far better, living with Otacon. He was really a good person, taking the time to cheer up his friends even though he had his own problems to think of.
"It's on the table in the living room, I thought you might've noticed."
"I'll just go get it." Snake responded, tossing the rag he was holding on the working table.
"Oh, wait, forget it. I used it yesterday, you'll have to buy a new can. If you need ca-"
"I already have money, don't think about it Otacon. I'll be right back."
Snake put on his coat, and opened the door and stepped outside, starting to walk down the apartement stairs. He had to hurry, the shop closed in ten minutes...
~*~
Outside, in front of an apartment, Haruna stood. She looked up at it, rubbing her aching wrists. There were only light in three of the windows. Suddenly she thought; how weird normal humans really were, though kunoichi's, ninja's and humans actually were a lot alike. Humans needed so much sleep, they had strong feelings, loved their family...and, they could sometimes fall in love. Falling in love...she closed her eyes slowly, and inhaled the cool and moist evening air. How would it be like? To love, and have, to give away your life to protect the one, if you were forced to? She never really loved Kenshin in the first place...that's how it goes, she thought, her fists balling. When a guy says the right words, and does the right things...
"...Be right back Otacon. The shop's gonna close in 10 minutes!!"
She let out a little gasp of surprise when she heard the male voice, coming from behind her. Haruna turned around, pulled her katana out and hid it behind her back. Right in the same second were the man opened the apartment door, she did a backwards jump flip, landed on top of a car. She jumped down from the roof, and rolled right underneath the car, smelling the oil leaking from the car. She winced. He just stood there...that wasn't normal for a human! He was trained, a skilled person..."Trained or not," Haruna thought while sneaking in the shadows, creeping closer and closer for each minute. "He can't take down a kunoichi..."
~*~
Even from a distance of 10 meters, he was able to hear the noise. A person out here, 2.00 AM? He would have thought it was a wild dog or something likely...but that sound of metal, like a sword or huge knife...that made him freeze. His well trained senses commanded him to be alert, and so, he pulled out a USP from his jackets inner pocket, quickly flicking the safety off with a trained finger.
Then, the strike came.
A loud thump ecchoed in the hollow night, the sound of Haruna's foot brought to his face. He fell back, but he wasn't going down. Like a lightning, he jumped up, and fought the surprised kunoichi back with a well-placed kick in her solar-plexus . This time, she fell. Much slower than Snake, she tried to get up, but was forced back when Snake aimed his gun at her. Dissapointed by her own combat skills, she raised her hands in the air, dropping the katana at his feet.
"Who the hell are you?" He questioned with an angry stare, switching the red laser off. He wasn't going to use that now, with her lying at his feet.
She smiled. "Even if I told you, you would never believe me." She tried to move her aching body a little, but Snake felt it, and brought a foot to her torso. She smirked. "You humans are SO stupid...especially the men."
Snake shrugged. If she wanted to play it the hard way, he agreed. He wasn't going to be a sweetie.
"You ARE going to tell me little lady, or I'll have to smack a bullet in your pretty forhead. Wich would be a shame." He looked at her, and first now, he discovered her actual beauty. Her long black hair waved peacefully in the air, and so did her earrings, made of darkblue feathers. Her eyes...they gazed at him, but their look was piercing, like his. They were...purple?! How unusual...what did she mean when she said "you humans?" by the way?
"Please," She begged him, breathing heavily to show him she had strong pains, lying there. "Couldn't you help me up? As you saw before, I'm no good for fighting right now..."
Snake nodded, and slowly let her rise, but still with his USP aimed at her with the other hand. She smiled and brushed off some dust from her black and blue combat suit-but then she winced, and bend down on her knees, in pain from what Snake could tell.
"What's wrong?" He asked, knowing that it couldn't be him. He hadn't kicked her that hard.
She removed the hand she had been holding close to her chest, and revealed a spot with blood, almost soaking through the suit, but it seemed like the material was made for those sitiuations.
"I..it..d-don't worry...It happened before..." She coughed, but luckily there was no blood being coughed up.
"Who did it? Say it!"
But Snake soon realized that she couldn't when her eyes shut, and her body heavy, when she lost consciousnes.
She was almost completely unable to move, when still strapped to the wall. Her head felt like a waterfall, with the thoughts flowing, her being out of control to understand what was going on.
