[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

Kuraine ran away from the site, towards the other space-dock on the northwest side of town. Suddenly there was a sharp pain in her left arm.She grasped it, still running.Somebody had shot her! She turned her head, still grasping her arm and running. It was the Humanoid robots, following her. She took out her pistol and shot three of them down, their bodies crouching down and falling down to the ground, face clanging against the cement.

Kuraine ran a little faster. She turned around and ran backwards while shooting a few more of the Robots. More Robots just replaced the ones she shot. She did this many times, but always with he same thing happening. The Robots seemed endless.

"Jesus Christ!" Kuraine cursed loudly, "Is there no end to these Robots?"
Suddenly she spotted a ship in the distance, veering closer by second, and it had Kuraine's crest on it, the same one she had tattooed on her back, A knife with a bloody ribbon twirling around it. She gasped. It was her's!
"Jula!Kula!Down here!" She stopped and raised her right hand and waved.

Suddenly the ship swooped down and ran next to Kuraine, moving at her pace, (which was actually pretty fast) and a side door slid open, and Jula and Kula reached out. Kuraine neared them and grasped Kula's and Jula's hands. She held them for support.She clambered into the ship, safe. But suddenly, there was a shot. A bullet ran through the air, right into Jula's heart. Jula grasped at her chest, then fell out of the ship as it rose into the stratosphere.She fell in the air, her shawl flapping in the air, with it's many shades and hues.

"JULAAAAAAA!" Kula cried after her twin, looking distressed and alarmed. Suddenly Kula shot for the open air lock door, but Kuraine got to it first, and closed it. Kula threw herself at the door, which was held closed by Kuraine. She started to scream while crying, banging on the door, begging for it to open up. Shemade a huge ruckus, crying and wailing like a little kid would.

"Kula!" Kuraine grasped Kula by the shoulders, wincing at the pain in her left arm, "KULA!" Kuraine slapped Kula on the cheek.They reached space.

Kula touched her cheek. She was still crying, but silently now. Kuraine spoke:
"Stop making such a fuss!" Kuraine said, trying to find the right words, "Unless you want die, you won't leave this airlock!Now," Kuraine contnued, more calmly, "Jula was my best friend, as you are, and al I can say is: You know as well as I do, she wanted to die in the line of duty, as a Tracker!
"I know that one day, I'll be shot down, mauled, etc. on a hunt, and that's how I'll die. And I expect you to expect to die that way, too!Twin or not, Jula was a Tracker, and she died as a Tracker! Isn't that what a tracker should want to do? Die doing what he or she loves to do? Sure this job isn't always a bundle of roses, but what in life is anyway? I'm not saying that this isn't a Loss to you and me,but it's going to be alright later, no matter what!So, you can sit here crying for however long you want, but if you're the Tracking Fanatic I thought you were when you joined my crew, I expect you to get us to a resort planet."

Kula sat down and thought aboutwhat Kuraine had just said. Did she really want to die that way? Did she truly want to live without Jula? Jula was her twin, and they shared a special condition called Twinthuskrona, the thing that you would call a "Freaky Twin Thing". They felt each other's pain and suffering. Their thoughts were linked. Suddenly Kula jerked up, feeling as if she had crashed onto asphalt from 1000 miles up and cracked her head open on impact. That was the sign. Jula was dead. She stood up, breathing fast. She calmed down and said, "HELL YES I want to die like this!" She was determined. She ran to the dock and sat in the driver's seat and attached the mind probes for research to her temples and cheeks. She looked for resort planets, still dreaded.

Kuraine marched down the hall, took a left, and headed into her Captain's Quarters. She started to undress and went into the shower, where she looked down and:
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKK!!!" Kuraine screamed.

"Hi....." A 16 year old boy sat there crouched.
