Keira POV

I was happy. Rin and I were making cupcakes and we ended up covered in batter and sprinkles. The dark navy haired kid had the brilliant idea of shlopping batter across my face and in my hair of all places from his spatula. Oh how nice it is to have to spend 20 minutes trying to get batter out of my long brown locks. Note the sarcasm.

So obviously after he declared war on my kingdom, I had to rebuttal his attack with a more severe attack of my own. I took his baseball cap, put an egg in it and cracked it over his head. He grabbed a gracious amount of flour and threw it at me, exploding on my face, hair, apron, and just about every where.

I laughed, Rin made my life better. His happy face made it perfect. Since my Mothers and Fathers 'mysterious deaths', he gave me a reason to live on. He only had his mom who worked as a nurse 24/7 who although was selflessly kind and sweet, couldn't be with him all the time.

So that's where I come in. Even though he was 7, I was his best friend and he was mine. I loved his mother and him and they were the only people that knew what had happened to my parents. And what I did.

After our scrimmage, we successfully baked one dozen delicious ugly cupcakes, we ended up playing around AGAIN but this time with icing. It was hilarious but I really didn't want to mop the ceiling again. So I surrendered and let Rin tie me up as he ate MY cupcakes! 4 of them! I was pretend crying and playfully glared at him. He giggled at my reaction and started to untying me and handed me half of the 8 cupcakes we had left and he sat next to me.

We just sat there joking, laughing, and being happy. I wiped the chocolate icing he had gotten on his face off and kissed him on the cheek like I always have.

"Thanks Kiki, I wuv you" he gave me his trademark huge, close eyed grin. (Kiki was his childhood nickname for me, Little lion was my name for him)

'I love you too Little lion, I love you so much' I tried to tell him but I was spinning and .....fading. Rin got darker and my last image was his giggling face. Suddenly I felt sorry, guilty like I had been cought with my hand in the cookie jar. And fear, fickle helpless fear.

Like I had THAT night, that when he died, she died, they died and in the end it was me, just me. The red was so pretty. All sticky and warm. It was like I was waiting to feel the crimson. But it wasn't me. Or maybe it was. It felt inside of me. Deep inside my core. So bloodthirsty.

'I know you can hear me girl' Something had rasped in my mind.

I was grinning and laughing too hard to reply. Crazed, maddened humor, twisted and warped evilly.

'It feels good, all the blood and power, Doesn't it?' She laughed with me

The door creaked open behind me.

"Kiki, what........ I ...." Rin was standing at the door way and looking at the carnage and then flickered to my hand, and what was in my hands dripping fresh blood. He started to tear up. I stopped laughing immediately and my eyes widened.

I was shocked out of the state I was in and dropped the knife in my hand "Rin, I .....I ......don't understand...... what am I?.... Why......." Rin didn't talk. I supposed he wouldn't have any answers but I was so lost, confused. He just ran up and hugged my waist trembling slightly and my knees buckled, making Rin back away for a moment. What am I? Why did I do it?? Why, why, why, WHY!!??!!

I looked blankly, wide eyed at my dirty hands. I am a monster..... Just a sick monster. Rin looked up at me and threw his arms around my neck and I curled my arms around his waist and sobbed. My own loud and angst filled screams of sorrow filled my ears and water filled my eyes. I wept enough for my brave Little Lion to cry sympathy too.

My heart ached and my throat burned and my tears flowed silently now but as heavy as a water fall.

Rin grabbed my hand, ignoring the grime on it and pulled me to the direction of his house. We both left without even peeking at the bodies. He drug me inside "Mama, help Keira please" That was the first and only time he ever called my by my real name.

Soon I was weeping on to his mothers shoulder after being pulled into a tight hug by her and us both falling to floor on my account. They both held me as I cried and sobbed viciously, Miss Sarah held me in her lap and stroked my hair softly and whispered soothing words to me while Rin curled around me in between his Mother and I.

She helped cleaned the blood off me and only asked me if I was hurt in anyway. She didn't pry or try to get me to talk, she sang sweet lullabies to help me sleep, she was like my mother. She signed to be my legal guardian, helped with the police, let me take my own house, and helped me heal.

I escaped my flashback and instead curled and hid in my mind because the black around me went on forever. I slipped into new thoughts in my drugged status.

I didn't want to think about how my kidnapping would hurt the only two people I loved, or even if I would ever see them again. I don't know why someone would want to take me, sure I was pretty in a way, if you squint at me,30 meters away, in the dark. But I wasn't rich, or attractive, or anyone who stand out in a crowd or in school.

They drugged me and were waiting for me in my house obviously. This didn't make any sense logically. they first had to know where I lived, although it listed I lived with Rin and Miss Sarah at school records, so they would have had to follow me. And they knew I was going to go to the pantry as I did like clockwork after school each day, that required surveillance on me. It was possible that they just hid and waited but it seemed unlikely. There was also the thing about the wall, which I had no explanation whatsoever on. It doesn't add up!!!!

A light flickered in front of me now. Looks like time to wake up and face my captors. Fear was making me shake and anxiety made my bones shiver.

I didn't know how I would escape or get away yet. I guess I would just plan as I go, like usual. Oh well.

'You could use me, come child, you know you want the power' the same inner voice. It was supposed to be a trauma side affect but she felt like something different.

'I am officially sick of you Shri 'I sighed back to her

'You will seek me out not to long from now, and I will let you relish in the madness.' Shri was excited and that is not a good sign.

' Whatever just standby for now, it's not like your actually real. I just watch to much anime. Naruto and Bleach were probably the ones causing this.' I swiftly replied

Shri laughed loudly and the light enveloped my form.

'Wakey wakey Girl' she sniggers at my fear.
