It was just after dark and Belladona sat alone on the patio of the cafe sipping a hot cup of coffee as she read over some case files.

ed came an sat with her

She looked up from her file and smiled, "Well hello stranger." she said closing the file.

"Hello yourself" he smiled at her

"You look just like my husband." She said joking around.

"And you look like my mistress" he joked

She laughed, "Your evil." She said hitting him lightly on the arm.

he laughed "I know"

"I seen Rose, we finally talked." She said sighing, "I dont know whats gotten into her."

"What happened?"

"She called me saying she wanted to talk to me about something. When i went to go see her she was acting all wired. Shes getting married to Kuon and there was something else but she just wouldn't tell me... I'm worried about her... has she talked to you?"

"Yes... I know shes acting weird but shes been through alot for her age"

"Enough to cut her mother out of her life?" She asked frowning. "Somethings wrong, its like shes not the same person anymore."

"I was hoping she would tell you...Rose has gone through what we call the kirin tor... its were your sides try to become dominant...see ctan cant breed with ctan. I was half human but when my kirin tor came my ctan side took over... but...with your unique dna her kirin tor was worse... she split... both sides were deadlocked and she couldnt survive and the ctan side of her took its own form... bascially... shes half now... not half a person just split. Rose is rose still but different." it was hard to explain

"Rose split?" She asked greatly confused. "So what happened to her ctan side? where is it?"
