Crimson Dust: I was used?
„So Artic Fox is your brother?" Lolidragon asks.
„Uhn!" I respond through my sobs.
„I never thought he would have a sister... What are your parents like?" Fairsky wonders.
I look up and wipe my eyes „We only have the same mother, he and his father left without trace after our mother and my father died..." I look down.
„I... see..." Fairsky says in a low voice.
Doll comes up to us in an attempt to cheer me up and I must say that it worked /I can still feel some hatred directed towards me.../
I wispher into Dolls ear „Do you know why they look at me that way?" I ask in concern.
Doll laughs „Is there someone you like?"
She smiles at me and I look confused. The attention of two males and several females in the hall are on me.
I look at Doll with a questioning gaze „What do mean with like?" I get an uneasy feeling in my stomach and suddenly think of the Dictator of Life.
„She means who you love of course!" Lolidragon interjects with a loud voice.
I feel my face grow red and I stutter „L-l-l-l-love?!" I think back to Dictator all of a sudden and shake my head „There isn't anyone!"
Some occupants in the hall look at me with kitty-faces, the ones previously glaring look elsewhere relieved. I sweatdrop and run before they question me.

„And you haven't seen your sister since then?" Zui wonders as he, Artic Fox and a few other stand in the courtyard.
„No" Artic Fox replies.
„You said her real name is Zita Yakira. I heard about her, she was even attacked a while ago and the police is searching for the culprit. He was a member of the Devastion organisation" Zui explains.
Artic Fox looks up and fakes surprise „Devastion? The group that this policeman brought into prison?"
Zui suddenly looks uncomfortable and he gets angry„Grrr. It's not the truth that he brought them into prison. The one who reported all the corpse funds and stolen items was a little girl, she brought all of them into prison. The policeman became friends with her in order to use her, after the last one was arrested he took the girl with him to take care of her but that was only to make her trust him.
He gained fame as the one who caught the organisation and takes care of an orphan. When he went drinking he would always yell how much she hates the girl and wanted to just beat her up but couldn't because his ruse would be discovered.
That he died in a bank robbery is just a cover-up story. He got discovered and one of his collegues shot at him in order to stop him since he threatened the people in the building. His dying words were how much he would love to see her die..."
„-thruth..."
Zui looks behind him to see Zita with an sad and broken expression full of despair.
„What do you mean?" he wispheres.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I heard everything Zui just said and something shattered „So that's it... Of course no one would care for a 'corpse' like me... It's the truth..."
„What do you mean?" Zui wispheres.
I don't even reply, I just run out. Out of the castle, out of the city and stare ahead of me with a blank, dead look.

„Why did she run?" Kenshin asks and looks at Artic Fox.
„...Because of what Nan Gong Zui said" Artic Fox replies as he takes a sip from his tea.
„What did I do?" Zui wonders with guilt.
„She heard you talk about the policeman. She's the girl who brought her own family and their friends into prison and she is the one this man took care of. I know my sister, he must have been the reason she continued to live even though everyone bullies her..." Artic Fox mutters.
„Bully her?" Ice-phoenix wonders with a bit of fright.
„I wasn't allowed to contact her but I usually keep up to date with what happens around her. People bully because she looks a lot like a 'corpse'. Her eyes look dead, she is pale and doesn't show much emotion in real live,... like a corpse" He stops for a moment before he starts again „There's also another reason of why she's called that. Especially that reason brought despair over her because teachers would shout at her to talk to them or look at them. They would instantly get angry when she did something wrong"
„Doesn't she defend herself?" Zui wonders with worry.
„She doesn't. She fears she would get in trouble and doesn't want that so she doesn't fight back. She also say anything back because... let's say she is a very silent person..." Artic Fox stands up and logs out.
„You would think he would be a good brother and search for her but he doesn't seem to intent to do so" Zui muses.
