The Secrets of Past Lives (Closed; Hatter94 and Rackie; M)

OOC: Anna's obviously a special young ninja. Don't mind her strange reactions. She's never had many friends >.> As for Raccoon... Let's say he's a bit busy right now :3

IC:
Raicheal's reaction slightly threw Anna off balance. Saying she was surprised would be a slight understatement. It was absolutely unexpected to see such a behavior from the girl. However, on the other hand, it seemed as if Raicheal's mind has been damaged due to her experiences with people. Anna's hands were trembling from stress and guilt. "Calm down... Calm down... You have to clear this out. You must tell her you're going to hurt her..." Thought the girl, with her eyes closed. The meister looked at the poor girl with pure sadness and pity towards her. "Raicheal, I'm on your side. Calm down." Anna told her, without approaching. It was probably the best option to keep distance to not scare her even more. "Let's start from the fact that the so-called "Mystery man" is no longer a threat. He's long gone. Or so I think. I can't find any signs or traces of him. Just... please, trust me. I'm really not working with him!" Anna spoke, it almost sounded like she was begging Raicheal to believe her. Hoping Raicheal believed her, Anna finally took two steps towards her. "And Raicheal... one more thing... You're definitely not a disguisting person. Everyone that has ever hurt you is a disguisting..."

OOC: Yeah, he's currently going through the infamous Shanghai thread :3 I hope he will survive that! Oh well, at least Raicheal's secrets are safe with Anna :P I guess they're both lucky in some way.

IC:
Anna shook her head and kneeled in front of the girl. There was a warm smile that appeared on her face. "Worry not Raicheal... No one will ever hurt you again and if someone tried, they would have to deal with me first... I promise " The girl told her, before moving to sit right next to her. Anna noticed the strangeness of the situation- so much had happened that day. At first, it was just a simple act of saving a stranger, which started a domino of events, which led to a beginning of a new friendship. Anna had an urge to just talk to Raicheal and somehow make her stop crying. "Ah, uhm... I'm sorry... for touching that...box... Forgive me..." The girl whispered, still feeling a bit bad for what she had done.

ooc: Let's just say that... Shanghai is gone now :) That's how important the Shanghai thread was. I think he's busy enough. Also, MerryLynn probably wouldn't let him break this thread again. Hey! You've eaten all our popcorn alone! .-.

Anna shook her head. "Not much... That was just too shocking to watch... Just... Noone deserves to be forced to go through such hell... Especially someone as nice as you." Anna told her quietly, with her eyes closed. She was being honest. There were still so many questions on her mind, but it wasn't important at the moment. Anna looked a Raicheal and patted her on the shoulder gently. "There's no need to be sad. Leave everything in the past and just move forward. Well, at least that's what I would do..." She said with warm tone and a friendly smile. Many thoughts were going through Anna's mind. Where are the monsters that hurt Raicheal? Are they still alive? Is that asshole Alex alive? Is there a way to help Raicheal finally deal with her past once and for all? Would... Anna blushed slightly suddenly. She has never had many friends. In her childhood, she was an outcast because of her hair and eyes. During her time in Death City she made one true friend, but even she was quite a busy person with her own problems. So most of her days, Anna would spend alone, improving her skills or hunting for the bad guys. Well, maybe she found a boyfriend and made some acquaintances, but it all couldn't change the strange feeling of loneliness. That's why one question seemed more important for her than the others- would Raicheal accept her as a friend?

OOC: Hey! I want him alive! >..> And please, no evil >..> Anyway, if you're still hungry, then we can get more snacks from the HQ!

IC:

Anna closed her eyes and sighed quietly. It all was just so sad and unfair. Raicheal really deserved better. Anna couldn't even imagine herself in the girl's position, it was just too overwhelming. No words could describe the feelings that were going through the albino girl's soul. It all caused tears to appear in her eyes too. "Raicheal..." She whispered quietly, before doing something rather unexpected- she hugged the poor, unlucky girl. "I promise... I promise that I will never let anyone hurt you again..." She whispered, tightening the hug. Anna knew the silliness of her promise, she couldn't predict the future, she couldn't be always keeping an eye on Raicheal. However, that promise was what she desired. How strange was the mind of this little girl- getting so attached to a person she had just met.

OOC: Uhm... *pulls a huge bowl of popcorn out of nowhere* C-C4? Shanghai map? A-Anyways! I hope your... hm... trip? I hope your trip was successful. Welcome back! c-can I have some C4? (poor Raccoon)


IC:

Anna wiped off her tears once she calmed down. She closed her eyes for a second to take a deep breath. It certainly helped her. "S-Sure..." The girl said, almost whispering. There was a strange calmness (tranquility?) in her soul. Making a new friend made her somehow happy. Anna directed her mind onto more positive thoughts- "You can count on me." She told Raicheal, smiling slightly. However, a blush would soon appear on her face as she saw what happened to whatever Raicheal had on that plate she'd crashed. "I-I'm sorry for your meal... Uhm..." Anna made a short pause to think how to solve the issue of the poor dish that'd landed on the floor. The ninja girl snapped her finger. "Oh I know, let me invite you for dinner at my place." She said with a wink. How strange was the mind of this girl- she went from sad to very positive in just a few moments.

OOC: I was talking about Anna actually ^^ *Hands him the bowl of popcorn* Yea, I'll make sure to check thread areas for C4 next time I decide to put my characters in danger XD (I wouldn't call myself omnipotent though :P )

IC:
"The day's still young. I can visit her before or even after dinner!" Anna explained smiling. She found Raicheal's excuses a bit amusing, even though she knew she would probably show similar excuses if she was in her position. "It's okay, really! It'll just be you, me and probably my brother." Anna told her, as she raised her thumb up. From the albino's girl perspective the idea seemed like fun.

Anna blushed at Raicheal's comment. "P-Perhaps it's true... I prefer trousers though." She explained as she looked away for a second and started playing with her hair a bit. Once her blush disappeared, she stood up and looked around. "A-Anyway, I'll help you with cleaning the mess!" Anna said enthusiastically as she put her hands on her hips. With her pale fingers, she felt the skirt, which automatically caused her to blush once again. "M-Maybe I should put my trousers on first..." She added, mumbling, as she folded her arms over her chest.

Anna wanted to protest that it was just her personal preference to be wearing trousers, but Raicheal was too quick and left the room before the ninja could open her mouth. Anna started walking around the room slowly with her hands behind her head. She tried to put together everything she learned about Raicheal's past. Obviously, she had been a victim of human traffickers, which obviously left many scars- not only on her body but also on her mind. Her captures took many photos and videos of her and probably posted them over the internet. It all had lasted for many years.  Eventually, she had been rescued (presumably by someone from Shibusen) and brought to Death City where she was supposed to start a new life.
Anna put her hand on her chin putting together the next piece of history.
Eventually, somehow, her former ally found out about her and her past. Presumably, he wanted to find the ones that hurt her. "However..." Anna mumbled to herself before she continued with her train of thoughts- However, Alex's methods were bad and only hurt Raicheal more. With the kishin egg's disappearance, she was safe once again. Until the day Raicheal met Anna, who used to work with Alex...

Suddenly, Anna's train of thoughts got interrupted by the girl's return to the room.
The albino girl took the cleaning tools and quickly got to work. She was quite fast so soon the floor would be (almost) clean. The stain was the only problem.
Raicheal's words surprised Anna. Why would she have more questions if she knew a bit too much? The girl put her hands on her hips and turned her head away for a second. Anna's face suddenly turned very serious. "Actually... I might have one... I want to apologize for it before I ask. Raicheal, where can I find the gang that... Did that to you?" She asked. Was she planning revenge?

Anna shook her head. At least the gang is no longer a threat." The ninja thought "No questions. At least for now." She told her briefly as she approached her friend and crouched in front of her. The ninja girl closed her eyes for a moment to think about a way to at least take revenge on the "customers" that hurt Raicheal. "Yeah, I must admit that even though some of Alex-... I mean the mystery man's methods were despicable he was quite efficient at what he was doing. I don't intend to defend him. Frankly speaking, I would have killed him for what he's done to you if he was alive, but... I cannot ignore that he was quite skillful." Anna said, before making a short pause. She put her hand gently on Raicheal's and looked into her eyes. "Nicknames are enough for me to at least try to track some of them down..." The albino girl said. The whole time she was calm and there was a strange maturity in her behavior, even though she was just a teenager. Another pause. Anna needed to think. "We can just stop right here, if you want. I don't want to stress you more." The girl told Raicheal with worry in her eyes.

Anna shook her head "It's okay. I'll be fine... After all, ninjas were not only great spies and saboteurs but also assassins..." The girl told her smiling. Her worry made her feel like she was really important to Raicheal, even if just a bit. Anna closed her eyes. She needed to tell her something important. Once she looked at her again, there was a confident, wide smile visible on her face. "Plus, I'm not alone." Anna told her, beginning her big revelation. "I must tell you something, Raicheal. I help a certain organization. They call themselves "The Justice Posse" and their mission is simple... They want to fight the evil people as according to them there is more evil than good in this world. I'm sure they'd support me if I went to fight those monsters!" The girl explained with such a confident tone. "Plus... I wouldn't even suggest what I've suggested if I wasn't sure that I have a chance against them... Because I know you wouldn't forgive me if I went there and got hurt in the process." She added. The last sentence of her speech was quietly spoken and it was followed by a blush and Anna's attempt to look away.


OOC: If Anna didn't have a boyfriend I'd probably start shipping her with Raicheal XD

OOC: Hm... I don't know! Not my fault that they're two perfect angels! But yeah... they really are great.

IC:

Anna was taken by surprise when Raicheal trapped her in a tight hug. At first, she didn't mind. Well, she even enjoyed it! However, she quickly noticed two things: One, where her face was. Two, that she couldn't breathe! She wanted to say something to make Raicheal at least give her some room to inhale precious oxygen. The girl's face turned red. In the end, she started wiggling her arms. All she managed to say was- "I...I can't br-breatheee..."

OOC: Hahahahaaa XD Ship approved. Anna is falling in love with poor Raicheal XD

IC:

Anna's head was moving back and forth slowly, catching fresh air. "Ish...ohkayy" She murmured quietly trying to calm down from her (not really)near death experience. With her cheeks red, she took a deep breath. "It's okay, it's okay! I'm alive." She told her before she shook her head. "You're surprisingly strong." The girl told her, smirking. Anna cleared her throat, then she returned to the topic. "Anyway, I promise won't do anything stupid." The ninja told her, looking her in the eyes. Then she looked around to make sure everything was clean enough. "Oh yeah, by the way, I've cleaned the floor. So I'm ready when you are." Anna told Raicheal with her arms folded on her chest. "AND! What's more important, I think I've got used to this skirt!" She added as she put her hands on her hips and smiled proudly. The truth was that she also had a school uniform that she absolutely hated wearing. However, her brother would often force her to wear it to finally make her look like a normal person.
