(For all those people who think this new character is Nozomi, well sorry to break it to you guys but she's sadly not. I'd just felt that she would be out-of-place in this story because it feels like putting her story arc would be already too late. developing her character would feel short and very different from what happened to the manga. I would put her before Leon arrived at Maple Inn, but she wouldn't do very much in this story since Nyu/Lucy are gone, she would only be here only just to be in the story, That's it.

I'd like to keep this story on the anime and manga storyline canon as much as possible, I hope you will all understand and I hope you still enjoy this.)

It was almost sunset, Leon was at the blockade, Meeting a group of police, at least twenty-five were there. All of them but two had worn special assault tactical equipment Armed with guns so no one can pass through the blockade. Leon was about to go in the blockade until a couple of guns were pointed at him at close range.

"Halt! What do you think you're doing?" A police officer in a dark olive-green coat said. with another officer by his side with a pale brown coat. One of the officers gave the okay not to shoot Leon, the guard holstered their guns. Leon looked at both of them wanting to ask them to let him through.

"Officer, I need to get through, I have to find out what's going on out here."

After Leon said his reason to be here, The officer with the pale brown coat placed his hand on Leon's shoulder attempting to calm Leon down.

"There's nothing to see here son, Leave this to the authorities, we can handle this"

The officer in brown's hand was slapped away by Leon's hand.

"What's going on out there on the bridge? What the hell are you people planning!?"

"That's it, arrest this man for assaulting an officer." Dozen of guards were attempting to grab Leon, Leon didn't try to force them off. "I need to go through! I hate to do something to people who are only doing their job, But I will if I have to!"

It felt like everyone was pulling him away. Stopping him from going through the barricade. He hated what was going to happen next... "LET ME THROUGH!"

Then eternal darkness slowly overwhelmed his vision, unable to see anything. What appeared right in front of Leon was a man. Dark brown hair, dark brown eyes. With a handsome face. His expression was grinning, saying only a few words ; You could've saved her... but you didn't... How heroic of you..." The unknown male said, only sarcastically. "You failed to save her, you were bound to be doomed ever since you were created. There's no hope for you..."

He disappeared within a few seconds never appearing again.

Leon's vision was finally getting clear and more lighter when he met a big lick on his face. "Bark! Bark!" A few licks settled upon Leon's cheek by Puppy, So Leon was now awake. He also saw the same girl who was ambushed last night in his face, staring at him. Puppy stopped licking Leon's face, he took an eye at the two fellow humans. They both stared at each other, They both continued to stare. Thinking that the stare down has become too long, Leon finally decides to say something.

"Can you stop st-" "GAH!" The girl yelled out, accidentally falling on her butt. Leon checked to see if she was alright, Her butt's alright but her personality isn't.

Leon begins to rise from his feet, doing a morning stretch. The girl looked up to see Leon, then got herself up. "Go-od morning.." She said, glancing around to avoid contact with Leon.

"Still shaky about what about happened last night? Or is it something else?"

"Y-es..Something else.." She said, Leon couldn't tell what was on her mind besides almost getting killed by deadly criminals, Could it be himself that's the problem?

"Hey listen.." Leon said while putting his hand on her shoulders. "I'm not your enemy, I'm your friend, don't worry about anything, just stick with me and you'll be fine."

She didn't respond, no really only complete silence. What the fuck?

Leon for some reason thought that what he said was a threat so he wanted to fix that. "No, wait I swear, that wasn't a threat at all!" Leon raised his hands up in anxiety.

The girl started to giggle, Leon looking dumb-founded at her. She gave a smile out, indicating that she will be fine. "You're giggling.. Why?"

Leon asked. After finishing her giggles she clears her throat to say something to him.

"I'm sorry, you made me laugh.." She kept smiling, Leon found it unbelievable and went to the conclusion that she's been playing with him all along. "What? Nah, you're just playing with me... are you?"

"What? No, not at all. It's just, I find it very strange that a creep can save a girl before." The girl started to laugh it up, and Leon wasn't taking that comment so well.

"Hey, I am not a creep.." The girl giggled again, making Leon fall for her jokes.

"Of course you are... But it was brave of you for saving me... So you're not much of a creep."

"Any idea why you consider me a creep?" After Leon said his question, the girl pointed straight towards his clothes. Boy, he did not like what her answer was. Oh well he will manage. "I see... don't you know that you shouldn't be judging based upon looks?"

"Maybe, though I did expect you to be a bit more serious."

Finding that the ''creep'' topic was getting out of hand, Leon wanted to find out what was the girl's name.

"Name?"

"Huh?"

"Your Name."

"Kira" Leon heard what the now named Kira said to him, he was satisfied. "Kira, I want you to tell me.. Why do you want to stay with me?" At first Kira seemed to be surprised at his question, she waited a few seconds to answer.

"I-I just wasn't comfortable to stay with other people." Leon was getting confused, what did Kira mean?

Last Night

When Kira was crying that her life was saved, Leon went back to his alley until he was once again hugged by Kira. He turned to see Kira to see what she wanted now.

"Wait! Let me stay with you!"

"Sorry, I think you ought to go to the police to help you."

"NO! Please I want to stay.. with you!" Kira said.

"You can't go with me. The police or whatever will eventually find me if we get caught."

Leon looked down at her eyes. What he could see was sorrow, sadness. This was a fourteen year old he is looking at. goddamnit, now the eyes of sorrow will get Leon now. Welp it's been a pleasure narrating this story... Not really, let's continue.

"I won't say anything, I'll be quiet. Please... just let me stay with you for now." She said.

Leon had no other option. If he were to leave her here, then that would be quite rude, Letting her stay might be a risky move, but would be doing Kira a favor. I'm guessing we all know what he's going to pick right? Leon gave out a sigh, feeling tense and defeat. "Fine, but I don't have anything in my hideout so get all the things you need from your house."

Kira nodded and quickly went to her house to get her bed mattress and some girl stuff she needed. While she was running she heard Leon say something. "By the way, make it fast!"

Present Day

"I don't have anyone no more... now that I lost my stepfather...from those people." Kira puts her hand on her chest, clenching it. "You're the only one that can protect me now...I feel like I should owe you by following you..." Leon heard about the stepfather part which made him feel sorry about her. What made it shocking next to him was that she would owe him by accompanying with him. The reason why she followed was all because of a debt. 'Who would do such a thing for a complete stranger?' Leon thought.

"It's the least I could do, Please.. you're the only one that I want to stay with."

Leon didn't know what options he would finalize with; Let her stay? Or Turn her in as an orphan? Turning her in would make her safe, and would put Leon in less risk from getting suspicious. But would Kira like to be an orphan?

Other option was to make her stay; Although that would make her happy, that would put Leon at risk, due to those asshole victims witnessing the whole thing. They could probably rat them out. Finding Kira and arresting Leon.

Leon better think this one out.

"Alright, welcome to the club you're in." Once Leon said his welcome to Kira, he was suddenly hugged once again by Kira. Jeez those deadly hugs are really harming Leon.

Poor guy. "Thank you, Thank you Thank you!"

"Great, Would you stop hugging me now?" Kira realized her deadly hugs were harming Leon so she stopped. "Sorry." Leon tried to sweep his clothing with his hands for no certain reason. "As long as you don't do it again it's fine... By the way, do you think you have extra clothing?" "I..think so, why do you ask?"

"Don't worry, just so we don't get caught.. I got a plan."
