Remember [PRIVATE] [FLASHBACK]

Ken walked the streets of tengakure. a cloak covering his body, it had been ten years...it would seem, Though two years ago was a notable moment. Ken bumped into a small child and then opened his eyes wide.

[Flashback]

"Ken!" a small boy would say, chasing after a 15 year old ken, The kid was about 7, awkwardly he never left ken alone when he visited graves. or just walked around, studying all the people with no homes and trying to learn its hardships. only to be scared away then go back to his home, shelter, warmth..bed...Food. but today was worse. Ken wasn't going to let himself go back home, because he told all his friends to cut his left eye in a X every time he came home since the 2nd time before....The X was so close to reaching into his eye it wouldn't be worth it... But the boy always tried to keep him at the streets. From what ken had observed in silence..when he was alone he stared at the sky with a sad...yearning look. But to no avail, Well atleast until ken passed by, He just turned into the sun with his smile and ran forward...always yelling for ken, Grabbing his arm, showing him something cool, maybe a cat that he found and put in his small tent at the corner of alleys. Today ken came prepared for the kid and pulled out a small drink "Its sake. I may be a liiittle young, but that doesnt matter right?" Then they went to his tent, Pulled out a small bowl like cup and poured. both of them tapped them together and drank...like a toast for wine.

Then it happened.

Ken walked away toward his home, when two other kids walked up from both sides, bumped up into him and said "KEN!" Ken quickly skidding back up and running away. The two other kids chased, But ken ran, and slid to the left to dodge a small boy...it was him, carrying a small glove. Ken saw two...but he was never sure, all he knew is that one of the boys bumped into the child, and were pounding him in. Ken ran back, toward the man still chasing him, then activated his vongola ring, scaring the crap out of the boy chasing him, causing him to yelp back, even thought the fire wouldn't burn. Ken then leaping forward to smash the kid hitting his friends head in. And he did. Punch right then punch left....rinse, and repeat.

Then it happened again.

Ken was grabbed from behind and thrown back. Now this made kens back hurt like hell, also the fact that his head slammed into the wall too. So now he had a headache and back pain for the next couple days. Then he felt it. a sharp pain into his left palm. and the sound of meat being ripped. Wincing. he grabbed the arm and looked forward...someone was armed with a kunai. So they probably had a reason for attacking ken, being the "Everyone's my friend" type of people. But that did not matter right now. he pulled and winced as he did. it was like taking off a band aid that was stuck x10. But he slammed the arm back, hitting the back of the kunai into the mans head and ken pulled a crossbow out. Aiming it at the mans foot and firing, then kicking his head to kens feet and stomping....Ken was shy of fighting..a wimp, scared. But it didn't matter.

Ken ran.

Oh ken ran for that kid who was being beaten, his friend, and then he ripped his crossbow bolt from the other kids foot. "HAVE FUN NOT RUNNING" the ken leaped. apparently he was being taken. but ken made it in time, well just enough to slam into the other person from above and knock him down. but that wasnt enough. apparently a fist rising was enough to slam ken down to the floor. and KO him...his eyes opening...closing..open close...then black, ken wasnt even there to help his friend.

Ken ended up in a hospital, for no apparent reason. but either way, he layed in bed and then the doctor said "Your free to go ken...just dont stab yourself.." but then kens mind went into 'Friend, dudes, capture' mode, and he broke the glass next to him and leapt out of his bed out the window. REALLY bad move, because he ended up hanging from the window sides, about 5 metre in the air...but luckily....dumpsters....hopefully no one had a idea to put shrapnel in there. ken fell and landed in it....softly...okay not softly, like a rock, he moaned groaned but then got back up to run for his friend.

Yeah yeah, stupid ken, but either way he ran after he collected himself. running forward. following the trail of his friend....who he trusted....thought of as family....then ken opened his eyes. they toasted as if family that night...and he ran faster...his family was on the line.....crossing into the outskirts of tengakure the small boy was laying in a puddle, being beaten...but then ken stopped, stared at the other three men and opened his mouth to yell.

"LEAVE HIM ALONE!"

The other three turned and smiled. pulling out kunai, one even a katana. then beckoning for his men to rush forward. but ken shot at them...all a miss..dangit.. the small boy yelled "KEN!" And threw mittens into the air... ken jumping and catching them putting them on then smiling. it was engraved with vongola 'Code' on the top...then he looked at the two two meters away from him and activated his vongola ring. the gloves turning into metal with a XI ontop of them. Ken held them both behind him. as if they would propel him.. then a huge flame burst from them, shooting ken forward Slamming both his palms into the men, and hitting them down. as he shot the flame forward to slow him down. the next enemy slamming down the blade of his sword as ken raised his palms....TINK, The blade got stuck inbetween them...this metal was a vongola kind....that blocked the swords approach. then ken pushed one of his arms back and yelled

"NO ONE MESSES WITH THE VONGOLA" And shot his right hand forward with the flames, shooting the man with katana back...KO

Ken cried

It wasnt a lie, he wouldnt lie about it...he cried that day, he leaned over a bleeding body, the kid was trying to make it seem okay, patting ken from behind his head and going "dont you cry...ken..." proceeding to cough up blood "Your better than that....cmon now..." The kid started to smile..and then said "yknow ken...You never asked for my name?.." ken sniffled then replied with a "No..Sorry" while the kid smiled "it was jair...a weird name....but fun at the same time.." Ken sniffed then....he was crying because of the fact that the kid had had his body ripped open during the process of ken trying to save him, that some of his intestines ripped..and were spilling out upon the ground of tengakure.

The child grabbed kens arms and ripped off his gloves, to reveal the stabbed part on his left arm..."Now now ken...that wont do, you gotta defend our home...right?, and your family." ken sniffed yet again and nodded in agreement. Ken started to smile again while the kid closed his eyes. and with a flicker of them, he was gone...taken away by the cruel world...

Ken began to just. sit, like a dog leashed to its dead owner... never wanting to move. trying to be oblivious of what just happened...but that was a lie. then ken just opened his mouth


That came to ken awkwardly easy...it was kinda like a 'Song' his parents used to sing whenever ken felt sad.. he just looked around and stood up then....and he looked around...a small flower had just bloomed next to his friends dead body...ken wiped his tears...and began to walk to the training zone in tengakure. Upon reaching it, he placed on the two mittens.....and his eyes showed determination. Ken ran forward toward a training dummy, and activated his mittens with his ring, transforming them to metal gloves that began to shoot flames, propelling ken forward, Zooming past the dummy, and then repositioning his arms to shoot him back. Moving one arm to slam himself into the dummy with enough force to dent it. Then ken grabbed its shoulders and flipped over. hovering over the air with the use of his gloves

Ken began to chain combo's upon the dummy. Kicks, punches, all of the stuff he would need within a fight. even pulling out his crossbow and shooting a couple times, then retrieving his arrows while propelled to the dummy. his will to beat the crap out of it rising. beating it down harder than ken felt one should. slamming with both his fist and kicking around. Quick quick....kick, slam, punch. Ken just kept going on. repeating his process and adding a little bit of spice to his combo's every once in a while. which was good for his current case, then he began to punch. But the dummy felt like it was beginning to tear. rip? break.

Ken began to kick yet again. what was this....he felt like he was getting stronger. he felt angry at the same time though. so ken just raised his arm, and propelled himself toward the dummy. it bursting into peices while ken flew through. getting a couple splinters upon himself. And then ken turned. he was going to deal with some stuff......something....he never knew, just something...

{END Flashback}

Ken stepped toward the gates of tengakure...but then thought....he was going to do something....
