Jason sighed and strolled to the entrance of the graveyard.  He looked atop the tallhill and could make out Zippora perched calmly near a headstone.  He sighed and strolled into the dreadful place.  He climbed the hill and put a hand on her shoulder.  "I don't understand why you keep coming back." he whispered.  His friend didnt turn around but he knew she heard, he continued, "Why dont you just find your family?" he asked, he hated seeing his friend so angry.  He was surprised she anwsered.  "My mother and father are dead.  My brother 'outlived me.'" she stated, "I dont even know if he's alive.  Or where to look." she stated expressionlessly, she apparently wouldnt take her eyes off her headstone which she vandalized.  He read the sign to himself. Zippora Live S.  No doubt Zippora Lives. he gave a sigh and sat down beside his friend.  He put his hand on her shoulder and sat in silence.

((Double))

Zippora leaned against the closed door, she looked towards the empty space, her usually cold green eyes were hidden by a wall of regret.  She collapsed to her knees shielding her face with her hands... why did she make that foolish mistake?  It cost her everything.  And she had to find a way to get it back.  Her eyes sprung open, she jumped to her feet.  Taking pity on herself wont solve a thing.  She had done some terrible tasks in the past, resulting in the death of many... her brother... would he remember her?  Did he care that she was gone?  Would he care if she returned?  Theses questions echoed in her mind as she grabbed a peach from the fruit basket, taking a bite into it.  Juice dripped down her chin, as she wiped it with a napkin.  Her family's images were near invisible in her memory.  It was still light outside but she was exhausted.  She tossed the remains of her meal into the waste basket, she strolled up the wooden stairs, each one creaking gently.  She lived alone.  She never was lonely.  Everyone thought she was dead, so there were little visitors.  However, she provided shelter to those in hiding or in need... at a cost.  She smiled to herself as she laid on the dark green sheets, her hand gripping the wooden bedpost.  She settled down and rolled to her side.  Her eyes fluttered and shut... her own soft breathing put her to sleep.

Jason knew his friend was upset.  Tomorrow was the first anniversery of her 'death', he knew she may not leave the house.  He strolled back to town.  Maybe there was someone who would remember her.

Rain carefully eyed the human from the roof. She seemed alone- a young drug addict teenage girl. Nobody would miss her. Nor would anyone find out if she's dead, and I shan't be discovered. She leaped, smashing the girl, her teeth sinking into the neck. It was bitter from the drugs, but better than nothing. She thought, "Well, that should last me a fortnight. Or a month." She carefully picked up the body , flung it into the sea. Then, sitting on the beach, she muttered, "Nobody is my friend. They all think I'm a nuisance, a danger, a hazard." 

Kezuku made his way through the cemetery without emotion.He walked slowly along the path looking out at the tombstones.His long jacket fluttered in the cold mist as he walked.He was use to it by now being here so many times.This was usually his place to be his place of peace if such a place existed.He would never end a day without ever being here.He closed hid eyes remembering when he had a family.He remembered his little sister and how she was forgotten..lost in his fathers eyes.He remembers her but doesnt know where to find her.He knew he would find her before his life would end.He would do watever it took to find her for she was the only family he had left.He opened his blue eyes that looked like pool water when the light shines on it.He stopped at one tumbstone and stood their quietly.It read:

Here lies

Elizabeth Roseblood

A devoted mother,Caring friend,And an angel

1969-1998

He looked at the tumbstone with no emotion.But one thing he did know,This wasnt all she was.She was a chimera..scratch out angel and put demon because thats what she was.His kitsune neko ears went back and he sighed.His mother always told him its always darkest before the dawn but you have to be strong and hold on.He kept that saying in his memories wherever he went.He knew sadness yet didnt cry.He knew pain yet didnt get angry or yell.He never made a sound showing his weakness but his strength was amazing.Being a chimera made him feel like a mutt.He had too many breeds in one body.He knew that for a fact and yet he still accepted himself for the moments that he could.He put a single beautiful rose on her tombstone"i shall never forget..all that you have done..even though others may have...i have not nor shall"He removed his hand from the tumbstone and walked away silently.
