She wrinkled her nose. "Ew. We hate attorneys even back home." Hikari laughed. "Yeah, eventually it's all just a paycheck. Well, for me it was trying to be the best. I had to be. I guess it's just how I am. Morgan was proud to flaunt me under his arm. Well, as long as I was bringing him in money. The other girls, they like to spread rumors and sadly, they were good at it." She looked back out the window. "Very good. Ruined everything that I had and that's when it started to go down hill."
She paused, not really wanting to get into all her details. Some things were secrets now. She hated that Armok knew another one. "He used to beat me, Morgan. I wasn't making him money or paying him back for his 'hospitalities', but at least I was safe. Now, I'm homeless, broke and have four other gangs that want my head cause apparently second-in-command."

*If AFR could have sighed he would have.* Co-Workers are cruel... *God... her story was very familiar* I was disbarred... I was framed by my firm to save their own hides... they claimed I manipulated evidence to win a very important case... they destroyed my name... but that wasn't all they took from me... they took away my... *AFR shook his head* I guess I am a bit bitter... still... so bitter that your life wasn't the only one I had to take...

"But you have a second chance, right? Sure, you're not really alive, but you have a chance to make up for it." She wrinkled her nose more before looking down at her feet. "I can't make up for anything. I'll never be able to get my first life back...." She sighed. "All because of what I am." She looked at him. "Sorry for being so rude. I'm just a bit tired and I guess I just need some time to establish another life. You break, but all that's left is to pick up the pieces."

AFR nodded* That is a fine outlook... and I must commend you for that attitude... but my case... it has a variable... I guess something that makes it impossible for me to give up the life I took... *AFR took his hand in his jacket and passed Kari a picture of a 6 year old girl.* She is my pride, and my strength... losing her is why I took my own life... I loved my daughter... and my ex took her away from me... *AFR cried... he showed her real weakness of course he had no tears* I couldn't live without her... she made it sure that I'd never see her again. *sob* I can't go back to her this way... her father died in shame... all that remains is a friendly reminder of what you can take away from yourself.

Kari looked at the picture. She smiled slightly. "She has your nose. Looks like she has your eyes as well." She looked at him. "You'll be able to see her again." Hey...optimism was all she had left anymore. That and her looks, but that didn't get her very far. She placed a hand on his cheek. "You can get your daughter back. If you want, I can help."

*AFR was quite the opposite, he was so in love with his daughter besides the few people he knew nothing came close to optimism* You... you don't have any reason to do that for me... besides... it's been almost a decade since she saw me buried. My ex probably has remarried... she has a new father now... *his head drooped*... but I would give anything to have her back... I already gave everything I had in my last life because she was gone.
(Every time I post AFR with certain people this cheesy piano music plays in my head and I imagine the 2 o'clock soap opera scene)

Rose, as per usual, was back at the base, pacing. She couldn't help but be worried right now. Not for them. She was more worried about if they lied to her and left her here. That was a nerve wracking situation. Were they with the Fat'ali Ryuin? Did they agree to a deal to send her back? Ugh! She knew nothing about these people and, quite frankly, it was beginning to piss her off.

"Perhaps I could be of some help?" She smiled, but she'd continue this conversation another day. "I'm...gonna go to the bathroom." Standing, she scooted off.
Kari was wandering around the...place...her eyes now looking at a small picture in her hand. She didn't see Rose and ran directly into her. >< "OW!" She fell straight on her ass, the picture of a small girl with black hair and bright green eyes falling in front of Rose's feet.

Rose made a strange noise as Kari ran into her. She barely moved an inch though. She made a funny face and crouched down. "I apologize." She picked up the picture. "Is this yours?" She held it out to Hikari.

Kari snatched it back, rough but not rudely. "Yeah, thanks. Sorry." She stood up, putting the picture in her bag. She looked around where she was. "Uh...where the hell am I?"

Rose made a face at how Kari responded before shrugging. "You know, I'm not exactly sure. I'm probably just as new to these guys as you are."

She scoffed. "I'm not joining them. They are giving me a place to stay until I get one of my own." Hikari was tired of getting into details. Honestly, it was getting repetitive and annoying. "What about you? I see you didn't listen to my warning." She was trying to be friendly. X.x

Rose let her eyebrow raise. "I see." She had recrossed her arms and shifted slightly. She wasn't one for conversation, nor would she ever be anytime soon. "One of them, not the necromancer, the other...I think his name was AFR...offered me a place to stay. I offered my help to Armok's group." She shrugged. "They don't seem to be murderers. And I'm fine until they attack a child, an innocent, or myself. And I have to see it with my own two eyes."

Kari could have been rude there, but she refrained. She needed someone to like her. Wrinkling her nose, she looked at Rose. "You're not an Earthling. Where are you from?"

Rose let a smile slide on to her lips. "You're the first to notice." She pushed her bangs out of her face quickly. "I'm from Amamizu. Another dimension." She shrugged. Rose probably wouldn't say anything else about it.

"I've heard about it from a couple of half demons. They said it was lovely there in the Spring." She smiled back. "Not for everyone around here to know, but I'm from Magoiyo."

Rose nodded. "It really is nice." She missed it greatly, but she knew she wouldn't be going back anytime soon. Rose nodded again. "Magoiyo? Sounds very familiar. May I ask your name?"

"Hikari." She'd avoid trying to plaster the last name for now. "It's just outside of the solar system. Small planet. Good demon hunters."

Rose nodded. "Yep. I'm sure I've heard someone talk about it before."
