Run, run, keep running, don't look back you won't like what you see if you do.

Go on, keep running from me little flower, I'll find you eventually, and when I do no one will be able to save you, you'll be mine as you are meant to be.

Shut him out, he's not there, ignore him, ignore the burning of your lungs, ignore the aching of your legs, and KEEP RUNNING!

Keep telling yourself that but I'll always be here, waiting, and I will celebrate the day you finally realize that, Akane.

Aka whipped out her pistol that she kept under her pillow, as if aiming to shoot something that wasn't there. She was panting and her legs ached as if she had recently run a marathon, she looked to her left. She could've sworn she felt someone looming over the bed.

"Damn it, even though I know he can't find me he still seems to be chasing me." Aka stated as she pinched the bridge of her nose.

"It hurts me to know you've become a hunter Akane, you know I hate it when you resist me and it makes me feel…unwelcome." Something whispered in Aka's ear, she shot off the edge of the bed and fell on her rear, her silver eyes wide and filling with-something close to fear but not quite. "THAT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT YOU BASTARD!"

Zero knocked rapidly on Aka's door for the third time; he heard a thump and a long yell.

"Are you okay?" He called, the door swung open so fast he barely had time to step back to avoid getting hit. Aka grumbled in distaste as she tried to shake the sudden dizziness from her head, probably from her dressing too fast. She glanced down slightly and adjusted the strap of her holster that ran just below her collarbone and around her shoulders, which held her guns behind her lower back.

Aka avoided eye contact as she pulled on the coat she brought with her and roughly pushed past him.

Kaname glanced quietly at Aidou, expecting Aidou to have already done some research on what he asked. Hanabusa nodded slightly and said,

"There isn't much, it seems she joined the association three years ago. What's strange is that she didn't give a full name, just "Aka", which I don't believe to be a name. But no one knows anything about her before she joined; even at the Hunters Association she was very secretive and quiet. I'm sorry I couldn't find out more Kaname-sama." Aidou bowed his head out of respect.

"That's quite alright Hanabusa, I didn't expect you to."

Why do run from me flower? I only want to give you a good life, show you the kindness that those filthy humans denied you. I've already released you of one; why not release you of all the others? You'll thank me for it one day.

You only want me for my blood! You're just like the Level Es! You don't care who you kill! For as long as I live I'll never let you catch me, not ever!

As long as you have that tattoo I'll be here, I may not be able to find you right now but as long as it exists I'll find you eventually.

This tattoo is a curse.

I want to hack my hand off so I know it won't be there!

I want to scratch out my eyes so I never have to see your hideous face again!

I want to cut off my ears so I don't have to hear your voice!

I want to smash my brains in so I don't have to remember you! Or what you did to Miku!

Why?

She had her whole life ahead of her.

She wanted to be a heart surgeon for Kami's sake!

Her parents were good people too. They didn't deserve to find their daughter like that, slaughtered and gutted, with blood everywhere.

The worst part is that she was killed-no murdered because of me. I'm the reason she was dead, I shouldn't have gone with her that night. If I had stayed home she would've been alive.

All of it's my fault.
