Two days had passed since the incident with the three boys and the girl, and now Reichiru was walking along the street with her hands shoved into the pockets of her dirt-streaked jeans.

"This commoner's town is amazing!" A voice exclaimed, and Reichiru looked up in front of her seeing the girl she had saved two days ago walking with a group of pretty boys.

She wasn't really focused on any of them, until she went to walk past the large group, bumping her shoulder against one of the boys.

"Watch it." The boy grunted, and she looked over at the boy she had bumped into, golden eyes meeting golden eyes.

"Sorry, my prince." She scowled, just with a glance towards his clothing, she could easily tell that he was a pampered pooch.

He didn't respond, instead, he just stared at her his eyes wide with disbelief, the others in his group had started to walk on ahead.

"Your group's leaving you." Reichiru stated blandly, "I don't think a rich kid like you would fare well out here. You'll be dead in a day."

The boy didn't respond, he didn't even look away from Reichiru.

"Hey, Hikaru!" Someone exclaimed, and Reichiru looked over to see almost an exact copy of the boy that was staring at her. "You okay?" He asked.

The boy, Hikaru, didn't respond, instead, he raised his hand and pointed towards Reichiru, the other boy looked at her, and his eyes widened so he had a similar look to Hikaru.

"Rei." He whispered, his eyes starting to water.

"How the hell do you know my nickname?" Reichiru asked defensively, narrowing her eyes.

"Rei, you're alive!" The other boy exclaimed with his eyes starting to water. He walked up to her and placing a hand on her shoulder.

She pulled away. "Look, bud. I don't know how you got my name, or even who the hell you are. So please, leave me alone and join the rest of your group of pooches."

"You don't recognize us?" Hikaru asked distressed. "We're your brothers. Rei, you've been missing for years!"

Reichiru looked at the two, and shook her head. "Sorry. I don't remember either of you, much less remember having brothers, or a family. You must have the wrong person."

"But you look just like us!" The other boy exclaimed.

Reichiru shook her head, her eyes still narrowed defensively. "Like I said before, I have no clue who you two are. I get that we look alike, but I've grown up on the streets. There's no way I was born as a pampered pooch like you two." She turned away and started walking along the street, leaving the two staring at her as she walked away.

"Wait!" Hikaru exclaimed.

Reichiru turned around and looked at him, "What?" She asked, getting annoyed by their constant talking.

She watched as he pulled out his wallet, fumbling around and then taking out a small sheet of paper, looking closer, Reichiru noticed that it was instead a picture.

He turned it around and Reichiru looked at it, seeing three children smiling happily, their heads close together, golden eyes shining and auburn hair merging together.

"That was the day the three of us went to town for the first time." Hikaru explained.

"We were all so excited. Mom even bought toys for us from a giant toy store." The other boy said.
