Bunny pulled on her black boots, being as quiet as possible. She didn't want to wake Rionu, he'd never let her go. Go where? Well, Bunny didn't really know herself. Her mind dwelled on the past. The time when she'd been with Chie and Kouru. It's bad to dwell on the past, but it'd different for a girl with a doomed future. She kissed the sleeping Rionu on the forehead, and put her mouth near his ear, whispering, "I'll see you soon, Rionu." She slipped out the door into the white washed world. The winter air immediately seized her, using it's fierce winds to claw down her back, chilling her with its deadly touch. (um...the kiss wasn't supposed to be like boyfriend/ girlfriendish. More like mother/ son, just though I'd clear that up a bit)

Bunny found herself lost after a short time. This was stupid of me!, she thought. I have no idea where I'm at, I'm cold, and worst of all...I'm HUNGRY! If she'd learned anything from Chie it was that cakes and candies were the worst thing to not have. She sighed, "Lost...why can't I be more like Rionu. He'd never get LOST." She moaned and
walked into an ally, hoping it would give her some shelter. She smirked, "An ally...the place I was born, the place I was attacked, the place I should die." She curled up in a ball, just outside the ally, not in it.

"Go away Chie. I don't wanna go shopping...", Bunny mumbled and turned over. Breakfast...she knew the smell anywhere. It smelt like cinnamon spice, lemons, and carrot cake. It warmed her soul and gave her strength to open her eyes.

"Hey look who's awake!", a man shouted. "I Don't wanna go shopping!", another man said, moaking her. Bunny looked at her surroundings, definitely NOT the warm breakfast she'd been dreaming. Tears brimmed her eyes and she scooted to the corner cowering. This wasn't a breakfast at all, this wasn't even where she'd fallen asleep at.

She was in a dark room, with several men in it , about twenty. They were filthy looked guys, men that looked like they hadn't bathed in months. They were all sitting or standing around casually, all of them wearing camo and holding some sort of weapon. "Boss always finds the pretty ones..." "Yeah, even if they are half animal." They all laughed and Bunny was about to run when a new guy walked in the door, "Jesus! What's wrong with you idiots?" The man was tall with blond hair, a bit on the skinny side. He walked to her and sat on the end of the cot and smiled. Bunny wasn't sure whether to go ahead and run or to hug him, "Kaoru...", was the only word that escaped her lips. "I hope they didn't scare you two much. There really not that bad...once you get pass the stench." "Oh, Boss, that hurts my gentle heart." They all laughed again at the guy's sarcasm. Kaoru scowled at them and picked Bunny up and carried her out of the room. "There he goes again, takin' off with the ladies...", more laughter. Bunny frowned, "Put me down, Kouru." He put her down. "Explain." , he blinked at her and then smiled , "Miss Bunny...you've grown up so much." This time she blinked. "Lemme see...explain, eh? Well, as I remember I tryed to stop you from running off and you knocked me out. I searched for you ever since a where did I find you? Exactly where I thought I would, frozen in some ally, but I'm glad to see you back." Bunny frowned, for some reason that last thing rubbed her the wrong way. He frowned too, "Miss Bunny...?" Bunny turned away. "Bunny...what's wrong?"

When she didn't he pulled her close, hugging her, and she found herself hugging him back. "Hungry?" She nodded. What was wrong with her? She despised him for lying but how could she refuse him? He had saved her from GGS. The thing that troubled her the most was she wasn't sure who he was. Was this guy the kind Dr. Kouru that had saved her and brought her to health, or was this some other guy? Was this the lying militia guy that would bring her harm? She pulled away. "You aren't yourself Miss Bunny." He didn't wait for a response but went back inside.

Bunny sighed and leaned against the wall. Judging by the sun it was still early. "Wonder what Rionu's doing." She sighed again, this time deeper. Wouldn't it be nice if they could all live together? Her, Rionu, Chie, Kouru. The door flew open, "Breakfast's ready!"

Bunny smiled and poked the food, or at least she thought it was food. She didn' t have the nerve to say anything but Kouru could NOT cook. The food was terrible, but Bunny was relieved when the other guys spoke up. "Boss, this food sucks!" "Leave cookin' to the women!" "Yeah, get the lady to fix the food!" Kaoru laughed and gave Bunny a gleaming smile. Bunny smiled and winked at him and he frowned. She handed her bowl to one of the militia guys and walked to the fridge. "Leave..." They all blinked at her, especially Kaoru who knew that she'd never cooked, well not at Chie's anyway. Bunny gasped when she opened the fridge, "Geez! " She Turned and pointed at one of the guys, "Go get carrots." The guy looked around ,"Who me?" "Yes, you! Who do you think I'm talking too? " The other guys laughed at him and one of them said, "Taking orders from women now, Tai?" Bunny hit him on the head, "Fine then, you go with him." She gave him one o those looks. A look only women can give, that look that mother's give their kids. The guy gulped and nodded. Kaoru laughed and Bunny glared at him. They all left, not making a peep.

"Good to have some decent food for a change." Bunny grinned at the praise. She had did a good job, hadn't she. She'd made a great dinner, well it was dinner and lunch by the time it was done. It had A LOT of carrots in it but it was A LOT better than the, um, whatever it was Kouru had made. "You keepin' this one aren't ya, Boss?" "Yeah! If you don't want her anymore I'll take her." Bunny blushed, first taking a glance a Kouru who looked down embarrassedly. Then she went back to her stern woman of the house mode, "I'm NOT Kaoru's woman!" The guys starred at her and Bunny starred at them. Kouru wrapped his arm around her, "Stop acting silly Bun's." He gave her a peck on the cheek and Bunny's face hot red, "Kaoru!?", she said quietly, and while the men laughed she slapped him across the face. He smiled playfully and backed off. "To bed scumbags!" They all grunted and wandered off, until it was just Bunny and Kouru. "I'm sorry Bunny, but you'll have to play along." Bunny narrowed her eyes, "The guys don't know that your the biod. It's better that way. There are spies everywhere and It's better if they don't know who you really are." "You look so uncomfortable, Kouru." He smiled, a fake smile, but didn't pull it off well. "Goodnight, Miss Bunny." Bunny nodded and flopped down on the cott that was now her bed.

Everything, Everything was so weird. She had went from living in a mansion with a girl and a guy, from living in a shack with one guy, to living in an apartment with like twenty guys and no girls. She wondered how Rionu was doing, she hadn't planned it to work this way. She'd sneak off and go see him tomorrow.
