Rijaku listened to her speak. "One step at a time." He said in a soothing voice. Shaking his head. It was a long long way to the safe house. Wasn't even in this state to be honest. He needed to get her far away from the iron grasp of the mafia whose men she had pissed off. He looked at her and shook his head. He frowned a bit. Thinking and sighed. "I don't know. I will have to help you learn. Right now Miss Alice...that is not an option. I am afraid...you will have to be shown and taught. Your very life depends on it. Not just your life...but anyone who is close to you...their lives depend on you ceasing to exist as Alice and being reborn anew." he said with a sigh.<br/><br/>He thought for a moment. "Then we shall have to get to know each other. Any part of my history that isn't classified information from my life before this line of work...I will tell you." He said. "To start with...I have long jet black hair I generally keep in a japanese or chinese style hair do. Or even just a simple ponytail. My hair stays soft like silk. I do not appear as strong as I am. I have been compared to a somewhat feminine male due to my double oriental descent. Giving me softer features. I am very strong and toned. My muscular structure while indeed musculed is by no means a body builders. I have coal black eyes and despite things I try to do to make it otherwise...I have soft skin. I am of both Chinese and Japanese descent." He said. "I am twenty-one years of age. I speak fluently many different languages."<br/><br/>He sighed a bit. "Until we can bring them down Miss Alice. Until we can get them locked away for a very long time. Otherwise...you will never be safe. You will never be able to stop running. You will always have to be in a sense looking over your shoulder." He stopped talking for a moment. "Miss Alice." he reached over and lightly touched her cheek. His hand masculine yet soft. "You have no reason to be feeling sorrow or anger. This was not your fault. It is not your fault there is bad men after you. I swear...I am going to do everything in my power to keep you safe so that you may return to your normal life." He pulled his hand away and stopped at a stop sign. "Miss Alice...it is my duty to lay my life on the line for another. I can not go into details but that is the way I was raised. Risking my life for others, my country, or even just a beautiful woman in need of protection...is my way of life."<br/><br/>He started to drive again. "As for wife and kids and family..." His voice haltered for a moment. "I have no wife. I have never had any kids. Family I have never had either. My family was gone. I can not explain what happened after that. Needless to say...my childhood was highly abnormal. I have nobody that you need to have to tell anything about why I died. Miss Alice...I am but a living shadow. My name is as I told you but...if you look me up...I do not exist." He said simply. Driving silently for a moment. "As such Miss Alice...my existance...why the BEST, which is me, was called in to protect you is simple. I am THE BEST and I also do NOT exist. In fact...you will probably be the only one who even cared...in all the times I have been a witness protector...who even had a thought to care."<br/><br/>He chuckled a bit. "You are a sweet and kind hearted woman Miss Alice. It will be both my honor...and my genuine delight...to be your personal bodyguard until such time you can become you again."
