Shioko fed her dragon whatever it wished and then her maid looked at her with curious eyes as she entered the house. "Whatever were you doing out there Shioko?" She asked looking at her. "Nothing..." Shioko said reluctantly running her finger tips through her bangs. "Well, I figured my child that you are a woman now." The maid said out of the blue. Shioko looked at her maid, "What are you saying?" She asked whipping around. She was only thinking of the man she had taken care of for but only a few days, and yet he had made a lasting impression. Although, she knew he had probably forgotten about her by now. "I mean..." Began the maid, "You've lived here for too long, I'm marrying you off." She said and went back to work just like that. Shioko gripped her hands tightly.
Late that night, a man showed up at their home. Her maid answering the door. He was terrifyingly ugly, and the only thing he had going for him was his working body. Her maid smiled at her and Shioko dealed with him that night. While he grabbed her body and touched her Shioko tried to think of something else, ANYTHING else. And while she did, she finally thought of an old friend who had created a type of gang. They sailed their ships out on the sea but it was hard to get it, thank god she knew its creator. The man left in the early morning but not without many attempts to get Shioko to take her clothes off. He would run his hand up her dress and Shioko would swat it away. "NO!" She would say as if he were an eager child. When he had left, Shioko did but one thing. And that was wash herself. Shiko went to the dragon, looking at it. She wanted to keep it but knew where she was going, it was too noticeable. Shioko swung open the barn doors and let her leave. Shioko, now feeling a bit of loss, began to run, it was the only thing that made her feel good. She ran up into the town to where her friend hung out. It was a bar, that was well know for drunken bouts and prostitution. She stepped inside, her friend only glancing at her then laughing. The men in the bar looked her up and down and showed their yellow teeth. "Ah Shioko..." Her friend said as she sat down, "I can;t believe you remember little old me, Little only Kindle." Shioko laughed slightly. "Well your hard to forget." She said. "Now..Kindle I wanted to know about joining that gang of yours..." "AH YES!" She replied banging her hand on the table. "Well ya do know, ya gotta get your hair cut, and beaten to a pulp." Kindle said, "Yes I know." Shioko replied. "Alright well lets go upstairs and we'll cut that hair off, we'll give ya a sexy look." She said and laughed again as she went upstairs with Shioko following. Once upstairs Kindle cut left Shioko's bangs alone. But she did cut her long hair at an angle, it was extremely short in the back and tangled down the very tip of the front touching her collar bone. "There ya are." Kindle said grinning. "Now let's get the gang..." She said as they walked out to the back of the bar.
Shioko stood there and Kindle hit her first. Right in the stomach. Shioko grabbed her stomach as everyone else hit her in the face and hit her body. When she was on the ground they slammed their legs into her body. When they finished Shioko's body was bruised, but surprisingly little was done to her face. Blood dripped down her lip though. Shioko stood up feeling horrifyingly horrible. Kindle slapped her back. "Welcome to the gang!" She exclaimed and smiled as Shioko's black eyes looked up at her. "Now let's get you a drink."
