I walk down the stairs, perfect, everybody's there.

I wore a dress, even though it's -20 ouside, it's pretty warm inside. 

Takuto: "Are those...?"

Even Takkun can't form an insult. I smile bitterly and sat down. 

Hiro's point of view

It's a really tragic view. She has perfect skin, but it was covered with scars. She showed us her palm, there was also a 3-inch long scar there. What kind of things has she been through? I thought. Her red and blue eyes glittered with bitterness. 

Kenshi: "...wanna talk about it?" 

She nodded.

Kuin's point of view

I start talking,

~~flash back~~

"I was born in a very far-off country, there was no legal govornor there, only thugs who call themselves king, so the place was unruled. Everything was a mess. Poverty was really common. 

"I was actually born in a pretty wealthy family, but i can't remember much now. Because our parents abandoned us because of our eyes, they thought it was from a creature, it's unlucky. Yes, us. I had a brother who was about two years older than me. We were abandoned when i was four. 

"Brother took care of me. We just lived along the streets, we were really poor, but pretty happy. Life was actually pretty exciting at that time. And...my real name was Lilith, brother called me that. 

"Days and months carried on as we stayed like that. That country was near the equator, so we didn't need to worry about coldness, only warmth. 

"But that one day, two guys in black suits took my brother away. I don't know where they took him. He desperately told me to hide from these guys before he was dragged away.

"After some time, I still got captured by them as well. I was taken to a large basement, in a large cage, were all young people, at least 8, at most 20. They should be at the happiest times of their lives, but they were killing each other. Later on i knew that those people are a part of an illegal organization-- actually i can't say that, that country had no laws--who cage people, letting them fight and pick out two best ones to fight off. They were filled with people who liked watching young lives kill each other.

"I was pushed into the cage with the others. I raised my knife at whoever charged up to me. I had no choice, I had to live. 

"That's where i spent the rest of my childhood. Everyday drenched in red liquid and the killing smell of it. I didn't hesitate to kill anyone who tried to harm me. 

"Finally one night, I was one of the two who survived, they sent me to another cage with a boy. He had bandages over his left eye. At that time i thought he was really scary, he kept on threatening me and kept on milling his blade, saying to make it sharper. Tears blurred my eyes the entire time.

"The next day, we were out in open, in front of hundreds of people. They were all yelling 'fight'. I was really scared, all i could do was manage to hold up my knife. That boy charged towards me, but...his knife had no blade! Later on i knew that he milled the blade off of his knife. He just threw himself on my knife and basically killed himself with me holding it. 

" 'what? why?' i asked him. He smiled gently at me and took off his bandages, showing a violet pupil. He was my brother. He had green and violet eyes.  'Only one person gets to live, and that'll be you.' he said before falling to the ground.

"I froze. My heart also died the second i killed my brother. 在杀死哥哥的那一刻，我的心也死了。

"The winner gets to be set free and never involved with them again. But after that, I was living like the walking dead. Many times i thought of killing myself but that would mean brother died for nothing. 

"At my 12th birthday, i spent it alone sitting amongest the trash. Soon after, I passed out in tears. I still remember now the birthday present brother gave me at my 7th birthday, a small music box. 

"When i woke, I was in a room. I was inside. The Hong Kong mafia who were at that country for some business found me and took me in. It could say as they have saved my life. 

"I started killing again. Like an ice machine, in a blink of an eye. But i never lacked education, they also sent me to a proper school, i started to catch up with studies as well. And I actually also met some friends for the first time in my life, but they were all also children of mafia bosses. I was sent to Tokyo for a normal life by 18. They are criminals, but they treated me very well. 

"Years passed by with hundreds of people dying in my hands. Possibly thousands."

My vision is completely blurred and i was slightly sobbing.

"Until i met you guys, " i continue, "I start to remember the brother who was fading away in my memory. 我开始想起记忆里远去的哥哥。”

"Kuin...." they said sympathetically.

But I smiled: "It's nice to finally let it all out."

~*~*~*~*

Some time passed since then.

I'm glad i finally let it out to someone else, other than my best friend. Not Ranko or Iori, though.

Deciding to clear my mind a little, I went out walking along the deck. There's a hotel across the water, it's a famous hotel callled Tres Spades. I probably won't have any chances of staying there, though, my apartment's only two blocks away. 

They say it's an amazing place, many celebrities from around the world would stay there.

Lillie: "Hey guys!"

At LRN. I'm glad none of them are treating me differently after that. I grab a few cookies and started eating. There are still tons left from Christmas.

Riki: "Kuin, perfect timing, we have a mission tonight."

Lillie: "that sudden?"

Atsumu: "Yes, we just found out this piece will be sold in an illegal auction tomorrow morning."

Takuto: "But that's the problem. I can't get off work tonight."

Lillie: *cough* 

Hiro: "What's with the choke?"

Lillie: "No worries, mina! I'll take Takkun's place! n(*≧▽≦*)n I'm a great hacker!"

Kenshi: "That'll work."

Takuto: "Are you sure?"

I walk over to him, pressed a few keys on his laptop, then his screen completely freezes.

Takuto: "WHAT THE??!" he started typing, but the screen wouldn't budge at all.

Lillie: "I put a virus in there." *munching on cookies*

The others laughed. "Do you still question her skills, now?" boss asks. 

He turned his head away in defeat. I grin and return his laptop to normal.

I pull on a cut-finger glove, "watch me." It's been a long time since i've felt this good.
