I placed a hand over where my mouth would be on my helmet. Was this truly the woman who Lucy spoke of in our younger days and could it possibly be her? The woman by the cherry blossoms with a saddened smile? Of course it turned out to only be an illusion but the woman Lucy described had strikingly similar features. It was faint but there was a slight stinging sensation in my very soul. I could very clearly see how the strangers around me were close to this woman but it was such a small amount of people. Even including Lucy and myself. She must've been a reserved person who mostly kept to herself. I placed a hand over my left ab, lowering my head in a show of respect. I did not know her well but she still had an impact on me. I felt myself seeing the memory as my eyes fell shut.

I placed my arm around Lucy 's shoulders in a comforting manner. She must have been taking this hard. Much harder than I was at least. I...actually feel bad. Feeling is something I don't usually do in general. Emotions were a distraction and were not required to function in the ninja world. That was how I was raised.

I listened quietly for the longest time. It was rare that I acted so boldly but I had gone to collect a series of anime's to watch for the small dino-like monster. I'm certain if the circumstances were different it would have been done on a whim but...what could I say? I only had one purpose nowadays but that purpose has sent me this way to make friends. My Lady in all of her grace sent me here with a bin of anime. I tightened my hold on it then proceeded to knock on the door.

The small knocking sound echoed a tiny bit off the walls. I wasn't nervous...well maybe just a tad bit but most of all I wanted her to enjoy this fun event she sent me off too as well. I don't recall exactly what she had said she was going to do but I know it had something to do with Lulu. I looked down at the cases of anime in the bin I held to take my mind off of her but it was difficult. Now that I started I couldn't stop. Lulu...I had fallen hard for her once.

Her chestnut brown hair that always lied in pigtails atop her shoulders in their wavy mess, her beautifully clear hazel cream colored eyes, her smile that could fill even the evilest of villains with some form of light. Lulu err Lucy was gorgeous but she didn't want me. I shifted the bin into one hand and balled my other into a fist. Lucy wanted my brother. He always takes things from me. He's nothing but filth so why?! Why would she want someone like him over someone like me? I bit my lip beneath my helmet, pleased that it also hid my distraught expression.

He did not like her when they first met but upon finding that I was fond of her he immediately took action to claim her. Years later here we are- I have someone to serve and he has the one I love...loved. No one is as fair as Lucy and I did try to commit suicide the day I found out they were engaged. That was when my Lady came to my rescue. I consider it a rescue but it was more like a severe near death beating. It did stop my attempt of suicide of course but it also hurt. It was excruciatingly painful. She...she  belittled me that day, calling me foolish and such. She even stepped on me when she paced but it was all for a reason.

She was taking my mind off of Lucy the whole time. In the most brutal way but it worked all the same. She's not without mercy. When she was finished she asked if I was alright and held me like her own child, placing my head in her lap and just easing the pain with words. Not literally of course I was still in much pain. It was shameful but I had to ride on her back in order to be  transported to her home. The home my Lady lives in isn't far from where I stand now but what I was trying to say was that...I'll always be grateful. I knocked again a bit louder this time. My boldness was a direct influence my Lady had on me. In some ways she is my Master.

Bio:

I nearly died once but I was saved by a good friend. I am now at peace with who I am and who I was despite the hate I bore inside. To come to terms with the past will provide one with balance. Balance is an essential key in achieving peace of mind, body, and spirit. I have a brother named Zatoichi who is a fool. I will speak nothing more than that. My parents were killed in the great war many years ago.  The only family I have left is a brother who has left me to go spend his time in hotlands. I live alone in waterfall pondering my life. I am at peace with myself but I cannot forgive myself for being too weak to fight next to my parents. All I have left of them is a charm bound by old, worn rope from my mother and a pair of swords and other materials my father had passed down to me. I hope to reach the surface one day and avenge my parents. I may be at peace with myself but I will never forgive the humans for what they've done.  Everything else about me may be found by meeting me in person. Farewell then.

Side Notes: I stand upright like most monsters, I have two legs and no fur. It's really not necessary for me. My hair changes colors sometimes from white to black and black to white. It's long so beware I might slap you in the face with it if you're not careful. I'm an anime fan. I like the action more than the romances but it's where most of my notions and ideas come from. I follow most of the Japanese traditions as a sign of respect to my father. My father who was alive long enough to be on the surface before we were thrown to the underground lived in a a place of Asian decent so he took up their tradition and I'm merely following in his footsteps. It's harder considering digging through the dump only reveals so much. That's how I came across books of my hero.
