"Huh?" Aiden said surprised putting his finger under his nose, it was damp. "So there is" he laughed as if it was no big deal. He grabbed the handkerchief from Jowee and wiped his nose, "Thanks, whats your name?" He said gratefully.

[seanmcchapman]

"You may call me Jowee. I am the owner of the Urban Nine if you heard of it. I usually am not there though," Jowee said. Jowee sqinted his eyes thinking about what else to say to the boy but couln't think of anything. Jowee decided to tell the boy there was a bath room he could clean up in.

[geniehunter]

"Urban 9?" Aiden thought to himself,
"The place sounds familiar." He confessed. Aiden's nose bleed stop and he pulled the handkerchief away from him to notice the blood was black. "Damn, not this again." He said loudly under his breath. Jowee had mentioned the bathroom that Aiden just came out of, "Uhm no I'll be fine," Aiden said folding the handkerchief into a tiny square.
"Excuse me sir, but may I ask you a question?" He asked Jowee nervously.

Jowee looked at the boy, his laundry, then back and said, "If I'm going to ask you all these questions I would hope so."

[geniehunter]

Aiden chuckled but his face quickly turned serious, "Jowee, when you younger, did you ever meet a girl name Amy? I know it may be hard to remember but this is important, do remember a dark brown haired girl, with really weird attire?"

"If he doesn't remember her, he isn't worth our time," Adien thought, "but if he does remember, maybe he'll know more about Akuma than I do."

Jowee was losing some patience but manage to listen to the boy. Jowee was on a Strict schedule and he knew he had time to chat, but he knew in the end it would have some minor punishment later. "I can't say I do," he said. "Why do you know her?"

[geniehunter]

Aiden sighed in disappointment "No, not really." He frowned and looked away from the man and headed towards the exit. He stopped himself and
turned to Jowee, "If you do remember her or know anyone who does please give me a call." Aiden took out a napkin from his pocket along with a pen and wrote down his number and gave it too Jowee. He walked out of the laundry mat, not sure if he would be hearing from him.

Aiden had walked about a block when he decided to turn into an empty alley way. "I was sure he knew her..." He thought to himself.
*"Maybe he didn't, you shouldn't just assume."* A voice replied in Aidens head.(This was Akuma)
"I felt something though..."
*"Well thats what you get for feeling"*
"Akuma?"
*"What is it?"*
"Why is it that I can talk too you but whenever Im in trouble, like getting beat up, you never help me? Isnt that your job, to protect me?"
*"My job is simply not to let you die, I shouldn't have to fight your wars, maybe if you toughened up and learned too--"
Aiden cut Akuma off with his sniffling and tears
*"What's wrong now?"*
"...No one has ever taught me to fight for myself, You always talk about how talented and strong willed mom was. HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO COMPARE WITH HER AND MAKE HER PROUD WHEN ALL I EVER DO IS CRY AND FEEL SORRY FOR MYSELF?"
*"You could start by not crying."*
A long pause between the two.
"Akuma."
*"What?"*
"Will you teach me how to fight? I mean you did teach mom right?"
*"Well yeah but... Im a little rusty"*
"Please... Im begging you."
Akuma doesn't say anything.
"Akuma?"
*"Fine, I will teach you to fight, but first you have to find what you're talented in."*
"What do you mean?"
*"For instants your mother was an excellent sharp shooter, give her a gun and she was unstoppable. Find something your good at maybe agility, melee?"*
"Uhm, I can, I don't know, iv'e never tried anything."
*"I might have an idea."*

Jowee was confused and didn't know what just happened. This was really just an odd experiences he was not prepared for. He couldn't even phathem what this kid was trying to accomplish with him. It didn't matter other than he would be fitting a new thing into his schedule, to help the kid out. Wait Jowee was 5 mins behind schedule! Jowee went about his regular ruteen besides for the rushing. Jowee then would leave to his next destination in his busy life.

Shun:
"I was gone for far to long and I knew things had changed completely... I was now living a life I thought I'd never think would exist for anyone, but here it was. My past was gone and my life had passed. It was only like as if it were yesterday that it all started where I had met Amy and Shino, and everyone else. I never really called him by his name. The day I remember staying at a fancy hotel avoiding my guardians and then getting out the next day so I wouldn't have to pay. I woke that morning by the sound of a woman who broadcast-ed the seen of the explosion. Early that morning when I left I sat outside on the hotel's side walk that lined the street. I was on the corner on a curb thinking and there a few fire trucks had flown by with that one word that started it all "hel-" hello. The girl that tried to say hi to me from the other side of the road as fire trucks passed by. Funny how if I never heard that, I might have never followed her and know the life I now have. There was so much to our story that just vanished and could never come back. The memories of the people are so hard to hold on to now. The cop, no investigator Helsing... no that couldn't be his name or was it... the man was one who knew what was right and who did what was needed. Why the hell did he ever even use that one riot gun(COP .357 Magnum). It was interesting how he made it work like a shot gun though. That kid with the black hair, I had forgotten his name too... Alex? The one who would start everything. The explosion and the fire was so vague and he was the one in the middle of it. He was the one who started it all even though he didn't know... When he came into my life he claimed to had forgot his past... Helsing was the first of us to met him... Wait I forgot about Amy... She had a major part in that eventful day... Didn't she lose control at the scene? Something had happened with her that day too and I think Akoma was to blame for it! Akoma had been a problem, but yet he was a valued member of the team. Though Amy had to sometimes suffer because of him. Akoma was some kind of demon that lived inside of Amy attached to her blood. Akoma took forms as different things too. ...Amy, Shino, Alex, Helsing... there were more... one with the power of electricity... There was also that guy on that motor cycle who fought Alex... or was Alex that guys name? I don't know that was part of a story going on that I wasn't apart of. I remember though that this guy had a similar power to one of Shino's. The last thing I remember doing during that time was when I was with Shino at the one "Black" member's house..... That bridge was the last of anything else I could remember... Alex had been shot and Helsing and some other cop that joined him had guns pointed at a man that had the motorcyclist restrained on a bridge. Amy was there too where she was also wielding Akoma. There things got blurry when the c4 went off.... ". It was a entry from a few years ago and now it needed to be forgotten.

Who would have known that I would have become part of "Black". Black was the enemy and Black was the entire reason life was how it was since that day of the explosion. I was now a high ranking member of the "Organization" who had a very large role in the fight against what I used to call the "Gifted"? Me becoming part of the Black organization seemed like something that would never happen in a million years, but not because of what their purpose was, but who I was. I had come into contact with some gifted souls and Black thought I was likely a gifted as well. I was a bum. A under aged bum who grew up wrong, who was nothing more than a run away with no outstanding features. There was no way that I would be accepted as one of Black's organization, given my background and skills. They wanted nothing to do with me or would have if it weren't for the one who found me...

The situation was out of control and ground zero was to late. The problem was escalating impossibly faster than expected and containment was a lost option. There was no recovering after our mistake down there. But, how was it supposed to fix itself after what we started. It was like Man's curiosity that made Eve eat the fruit that brought upon the world's illness. Looking, watching, testing all of which was to blame and now again we see god had tested us. This time the illness would result in our end...
