A man with long black hair was sitting on the floor holding a woman and crying "DIANA! WAKE UP! NO! NO!" he hugged her while crying. It could be seen that she was shot in her head "NO! DON’T DIE!" He cried then he seemed concentrating on her and a little by little the place of the gunshot began to disappear but she was still dead.

Only then when he finally noticed a sound like a mute person is trying to talk "WHO DID THIS TO HER! YOU TOLD ME TO HELP HER! WHAT HAPPENED TO HER! WHAT HAPP...." The man paused for a second as he noticed something "WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?! IVANA! IVANA! STAY WITH ME! NOT YOU TOO...IVA...." his sound vanished as Imito woke up with fright. She seemed to be in a shock. She calmed down after a while.

"That stupid…Maybe I should really ask Nightmare to stop it" she thought and then other thought appeared in her head "No, you deserve this..." She went to the forest and started training. When she finished training it seemed that she completely calmed down from that dream. She continued the next few days like that having the same dream and killing her emotions with training till one day when she returned home.

When she opened the door, she smelt a smell she knows well "WHO GAVE YOU THE PERMISSION TO ENTER MY HOUSE!" She shouted as she headed towards the kitchen where she found -as she excepted- a young man with black short hair and cat ears. He looked at her happily while she glared at him "Long time no see, Iv...." He paused as he found the blade of her sword just a few centimeters away from his throat "Bad tempered as always" he said "Quit joking Carl! What do you want?" Imito said "Just checking on you" he said with a smile "Then JUST go home." She said as she returned her sword to its sheath.

"It has been a while since we met, don’t you miss me even a little?" He said "No" she said. His expression became serious saying "Your temper is worse than usual, what happened?" He asked "Nothing " she said "i've known you for 17 years, you can't lie to me that easily." He said she ignored what he said and went to the bathroom saying "I don't want to see you in my house when I come out!" She said, he didn't answer.

After she got out of the bathroom and wore clean clothes then she went to the living room " I think I asked you to leave." She said "I think i'll have lunch first" he said with a smile which she met with a glare "If you don't want just kick me out" he said "You're hopeless, even if I kick you you'll return, what do you want to eat?" She said with a sigh "Fish!" He said.

After she finished cooking they sat together to eat "How are they?" She asked without looking at him "Who?" He asked slyly "You're digging your grave you know" she said "You really should get rid of this bad temper, The Knight is fine and lost as always, the old man still as always and ..." " And?" "Aevum was visiting his wife and child grave a couple of days ago" he said "How is he taking it?" " Bad... You should visit him." he said "I can't" " Why?" "It'll only get worse if I do." "It's not like you think." "It's exactly like this, she'd be alive if I didn't exist." "It's not your fault." He said but she didn't care to answer "You lost a lot as well." He said "Not as much as he did" she answered "If you finished eating go home, Inesco will be worried." she said as she took her plate to wash it "She'll find me if I leave now." he said then realized what he said

"She?" She said as she looked at him, "Actually...." " What?" "There is a new employee, a girl and she... Well, she confessed to me." He said "And?" " I told her that I'm dating someone, so she asked me to see her." He said trying not to have any eye contact with Imito "Let me guess, you're not dating anyone" She said " Y… yeah " he answered "And you want me to help you..." She said "Well...basically… I…" "Sorry, but in case you didn't know, I always get mistaken for a man." "That's only because of your clothes. If you wore a dress or something they won't... " "And you think i'll wear a dress?!" She said, he felt that She'll start getting angry "Please, I won't ask you for anything else, i'll do anything you want" he begged her "You got yourself into this, figure your way out of it" " I can't" "Why didn't you just refuse her confession?" "I did at first, but she's stubborn" he said "Just don't call me anything but Imito." She said with a sigh "I won't, thanks!" He said "I won't wear a dress." She said as she entered her room and closed the door "It's a shame… I know she would never wear one... I wish I can kill that ****" He thought.

After a couple of minutes, she came out wearing black trousers and a red hoodie "Just… can I see your wardrobe" he said "No" she said as she headed to the door "Then at least don't tie your hair he said but she ignored him.

He followed her and opened the door but instead of the usual scene in front of her house there was an amusement park. As she passed the door he took off her hair tie and threw it in the house before he closed the door.

"You..." "It's better this way and you’re acting as we're having a date, you should look more girly." He said then tried to dodge her glare "CARL!" a voice called from behind the owner of the voice appeared to be a girl that seem around 19, she had blonde hair and blue eyes "Hi… Tina." He answered "Is this your girlfriend?" She said "Yes, this is Iv...Imito" He said "Nice to meet you." Imito said "What a stupid name, also she looks horrible, Carl why would you date such a girl in what way is she better than me." Tina said

"Well at least I don't have a rotten personality like yours." Ivana said with a smile Carl burst into laughter "How rude!" Tina protested "Not ruder than you and as I remember Carl told me that you work here, please don't treat costumers like this, it will harm the reputation of the place, nice to meet you again, let’s go, Carl." She said then dragged Carl who was still laughing.

"You are really amazing!" Carl said "You attract some strange people." Imito said with a sigh "Don't want to hear that from you." He said "Can I go home now?" She asked "Don't want to pay a visit since you’re here?" Carl asked, “No.” She said, “Don’t be stubborn” “Say one more word and…” "Carl! How could you get a girlfriend without even telling me!" A sound said from behind "Good evening Inesco." Imito said with a smile "Ivana?! You’re alive?! I haven't seen you since you were 13, we thought you…" Inesco said "IMITO" she said as her eyes turned bloody red "What?" Inesco said "My name is IMITO" She said "Calm it, Imito." Carl said trying to make her change her line of sight "As you like, where were you all these years? We thought you were dead" Inesco said "In the town Nightmare lives in" she said while her eyes slowly returned to green "Nightmare!" Inesco said "Yes?" She said "But how did you come here?" He asked.

Imito pointed at Carl saying "He brought me" "You know where she lives?" Inesco asked him "Well, actually… I found out by chance." Carl said "And why didn't you tell anyone?" Inesco asked "I asked him not to tell anyone." Imito said, Inesco looked at her without understanding

"We should go now." Carl said as he dragged her towards a building. He opened the door and entered a place that was familiar to Imito. "You…" She was about to beat him up for what he did and her eyes turned red out of anger "Who's there?" A voice came from inside Imito tried to leave when she heard it but Carl blocked the way.

"Hey Aevum! It' s me, I came and brought you a gift" he said "Quit joking and get to the point Ostim" the voice -Aevum- said "I'm not joking you know" Carl said as he dragged Imito to where Aevum is. "I'm not in mood for your jokes so just get out" Aevum said "OK but shall I take her with me as well?" Carl said as he entered the living room "Her?" Aevum said as looked towards Carl "Ivana?" Aevum said. She looked at him for the first time in 8 years, he looked older and his expression looked tired "Robin..." She said "It is your fault!" A sound yelled in her head. It wasn't Robin thoughts but rather her own. "I'm sorry, I shall leave" she said as she turned the other way and walked towards the door.

"Wait!" Robin said he followed her "Oh, isn't that the little kitty?" A voice said "And who's that? Kiddo!" Said the voice as its owner hugged Imito "You've really grown up, you're only slightly shorter than me!" He said. Imito kept silent for a couple of minutes then hugged him back. "I think I'll leave now see you, Iv… Imito, thanks for help" Carl said then left.

When Carl talked that she regained concentration and said "I have to leave." Then she pushed him and tried to leave "Not so fast" He said with a smile as he grasped her hood "Leave me, Al" she said "Maybe tomorrow, what do you think Robin?" Albert said, Robin didn't answer, he walked toward her and hugged her "I thought you died too, idiot" Robin said "I told you she won't die that easily!" Albert said "Why didn't you come back?" Robin asked but she didn't answer.

Inside him he knew her reason but he also knew that she won't stop blaming herself whatever he said "How is your health?" He asked as he made her sit on a chair "Good" she said "And... your neck?" Robin asked "...... The same as it is, you don't worry." She said while a horizontal scar on her neck started to appear "More importantly, how is your health? You seem very exhausted; do you eat well? Do you sleep well?" She asked "It seems that she became a worrywart like you Robin." Albert said "Where do you live now?" Robin asked ignoring Albert "......The same town as Nightmare." She said "What the same town as him! He never told us! Was he the one who…" "No, it wasn't him he was surprised when he saw me." She interrupted Robin.

There was silence then Albert asked "You live alone, right? " "Yeah.... Why are you asking?" Imito said "Is there any other hunter in that town?" Albert asked "No, just me, Nightmare and his wife but most of the time I'm the one who do the hunting." She said "Then you’re The Joker?" Albert said "The what?" She asked "There were rumors about a killer who wears a white clown mask and kills criminals. We thought it was someone new." Robin said "I didn't know I was called that… my only name is Imito." She said "Ivana...that's... I'll… make you some coffee" Robin said then he went to the kitchen "You don't have to...." Ivana said but Robin ignored her, he actually wanted to end the conversation at this point.

"Since you’re that Joker, why don't we have a little duel? I hadn't practiced with anyone for a long while" Albert said "Why?" said Imito "The cat tries to avoid me, Inesco is always busy and Robin always refuses. I don't even get to see Liam most of the time." Albert said with a sigh.

Imito didn't say anything so Al said "Let's go or... You're afraid that you'll lose?" "As if " she said then stood and started to head out. Al watched her with a smile without moving "What are you waiting for? Did you change your mind or what?" She said "You wish… ROBIN WE'LL BE TRAINING A LITTLE!" he said then left with her.
