Kitomi grew up with her little
brother Rin and loving parents Vin and Sue Morioka in New York City. She
can't help but reminisce about those perfect times, when everything was
how it was supposed to be. Her life, along with her brother's, was drastically turned upside-down while on the way to a cousin's wedding with their parents. In front of the church, their vehicle was brutally ambushed by a jealous vengeful clan, who always loathed Kitomi's father, leader of the Blood on the Moon clan. This rivaling family believed that Vin killed the boss of their clan's son, and therefore has been on a rampage since the murder. Vin did not kill the son himself; although it was an accidental shooting done by the hand of one of Blood Moon's soldiers. Vin and the rest of his clan decided to dismiss that soldier from the clan because of all the unnecessary drama with the other Salimone family. However, the Salimone family did not give up, for they still believed Vin ordered the kill and so the ambush took place. During the ambush, Vin, already wounded, stepped out of the vehicle to surrender to the Salimones and to protect his family on the inside of the car; he knew they only wanted him. Rin, 13 years old at the time, frantically stepped out of the car as well to attempt to stop his father from his surrender. Vin protected his son even still, taking all the hits. Sue protected Kitomi on the inside of the car, but took in too many glass shards to survive. The children were rushed to the hospital after that. Their parents' injuries were too fatal to live. This experience changed the lives of the Morioka children forever. Kitomi and Rin were separated; Kitomi sent off to live with her grandparents on her mother's side, in Shibuya, Tokyo, while Rin stayed in New York and got sent over to live with his father's Italian family. Kitomi and Rin kept in touch by letters but eventually her brother stopped replying. Kitomi is currently saving up a good sum of money so she can move to NYC to be with her brother and her father's side of the family. It isn't that she doesn't enjoy being in Tokyo, in fact she loves all the shopping and karaoke bars, but it is just that she feels so disconnected from everything she once loved. |
