A Clone's Life (Dead or Alive)

A Clone's Life (Dead or Alive)

takes place in the Dead or Alive Universe. Hikari had successfully escaped with her life. No one, as far as she knew, even knew she existed. After the Mugen Tenshin clan had destroyed the Kasumi clone project and all the data, and killed every clone they could find...it left her traumatized. Gaining sentience in that scenario would have been rough for anyone. With fear taking root in her heart, she fled the facility as discretely as possible upon discovering all the data about her own creation was destroyed as well. With nothing even pointing to her existence, she uses the fact that it is believed all the clones are dead to quietly build a new life. Still, she fears being discovered, and in her paranoia, keeps thinking she sees signs of Kasumi or Ayane somewhere in a crowd or stalking her from some impossible angle. It is never true, no one is hunting her, no one knows she is the last clone alive. She is perfectly safe, yet never believes this. She creates a cover story for herself, saying that she is Japanese-American and just moved into town looking for work. She gets a job at a not so popular cafe that never asked for her identity. The pay is terrible and the boss couldn't give a damn...but it is something normal...which is all she wanted. One of the regulars who occasionally showed up was Kain. He was always anxious and kept to himself. They would rarely talk and simply enjoy that the other has nothing to say or ask. After a few months of this, Hikari got an idea to increase her 'camouflage' into normal society...she needed to be in a relationship. Kain was perfect. he kept to himself, never asked personal questions, and was genuinely kind and caring. So, after some truly awkward chatting, they started dating. Half a year later they are living together and now engaged to be married. Many who see Kain and Hikari together cannot understand how someone like Kain managed to get a beauty like Hikari to love him. Honestly, Kain can't figure it out either. But, she is perfect to him, not because of her beauty, which she is very pretty...but because she is genuinely kind and caring, never pries into his personal life or habits, and...from his observations...seems to genuinely need him. he has always noticed her constant fear, but when with him she always has a look on her face, subtly, that she finally feels safe with him around. He doesn't understand why...but it feels good to finally be needed by someone. After hearing the news of his engagement, his siblings...the twins Kai and Kaia, just had to meet the woman who managed to make their brother socialize. They always looked at Kain like he was amazing and are glad that someone else can see it too. They are eager to meet Hikari. Hikari, upon learning they were arriving for a visit, became a bundle of nerves...something Kain had started finding cute about her, but he'd never say it. Hikari is still afraid the Mugen Tenshin clan will find her...but her fears are truly unwarranted. No one knows she is a clone or that ANY clone survived. She is safe, even if she doesn't believe so. only adult characters Hikari Kain Virelle Kai Virelle Kaia Virelle
