All she'd asked for, was to be left alone, was that too much to ask for? Apparently so, according to whatever deity was out there.

She'd been sitting, alone, in the park listening to an audiobook. Ixina preferred it over the days in summer, as it was always so much cooler in the early morning. The feeling of mist and dew clinging to her skin and the cool, refreshing air hanging low was really something different to the sweltering, dirty-feeling heat of the sun beating down on her delicate skin.

Unfortunately, with early morning, there were also many...undesirable people hanging around. Some of those said people approached her, and just as the book was getting to the good part too..

"Hello, *hic*, there young miss. What's a lovely pearl like you doing out in a morning like this?"

The way this man spoke triggered every alarm bell Ixina had. It wasn't helped by the disgusting smell of stale alcohol and sweat coming from his, and his friends' drunken bodies. Yet, she still dignified the man with a response, although her grip on her cane tightened, ever, so, slightly.

"Hello sir, I'm listening to an audiobook, now, if you don't mind, I'll continue doing just that."

"Well! Actually, we were thinking that maybe you'd like to spend some...quality time with us?"

As soon as the last word left his mouth, she screamed, a high and shrill sound, she was hoping that it would scare them away, but then she remembered what time it was. There would be next to no-one awake at this time, and they all know you it.

"I'm afraid that won't work missy, now, just stay still, and maybe you'll enjoy it, eh?"

He became grabby, and Ixina screamed again, but didn't get a chance to finish it, as a pair of calloused hands gripped her throat. She couldn't breathe, and it was looking rather bleak. Anyone else would have fallen. She had trained for nearly her whole life to be a hunter. She wasn't going to defeated so easily.

Fine, you asked for this.

She kicked the person in front of her away, and he fell to the ground heavily, air having been knocked out of him. Anther activated in it's baton form, set on a low voltage, so as not to hurt them too badly. After all, they were still human, only drunk silly.

But because of this, she had to rely on melee, and an acute sense of hearing didn't help very much with that. So she activated her semblance, and watched as pink cherry-blossumss leaves covered the land around her, illuminating everything in a soft, glowing haze of what she could only assume was 'light'.

The man she'd kicked got up, and upon noticing his cane, laughed out coarsely, coughing with every quivering, angry word.

"Hey boys! Guess what? She's blind, that'll make everything even more satisfying!"

Not as blind as you think.

She heard the distinctive *schink* sound of a blade being drawn, and readied herself, as running away at this point was a mere dream. All that was left to fo was fight.
