Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Breath of Fire stuff, neither bof2 nor any other title of the series. I just write this for my own amusement (and that of othersJ )and do not intend and will never earn money with it.

Chapter 1: Prologue

It was a few days after the party had first come to CotLnd and met Tiga's resistance group, that the bunch of them went back to TownShip for some days of rest before they would begin the final strike.

As he had insisted, Tiga was staying with everybody at their new home to get to know more about Katt whom he had wanted to marry since the very first second he had seen her. Luckily for the love-sick woren, his 'object of interest' seemed to develop a certain liking for him.

The rest of the bunch was mainly occupied with personal affair such as meeting long-lost friends or family members.

Everybody had the feeling they had to cherish those last days, for no one knew what would happen after the final fight, or if they would at all survive it.

Yet not everybody was meeting those he loved: Ryu was just staying at TownShip and enjoying the says, as he had no living family members or close friends – besides his comrades – he knew of.

Chapter 2

One evening, the sun had just set outside, Ryu was lying on his bed, still awake, occupied with thoughts and not able to sleep.

Everyone else was either out or already sleeping, so the whole building they shared was as quiet as the eternal halls of an ancient temple.

He sighed and stared at the ceiling. Despite all the love and friendship his comrades gave him, he still felt very lonely sometimes.

Well, actually very often lately, he admitted.

How much did he long for somebody who loved him, whom he could 'love back'?

Somebody to support him, to comfort him.

Somebody whom he could share his feelings with…

Whom he could she the depths of his hurt soul…

Again, he let out a sigh and with that, closed his eyes, trying to distract himself from the depressing thoughts that threatened to overwhelm him once more.

Yet no matter what he did, he still kept seeing those images in his mind, images he feared.

Those images that kept him from sleeping.

Those images that probably would never leave him.

And with another sigh to complete the series, Ryu rose from his bed and walked over to the window. Quietly, not wanting to wake those who were already sleeping, he opened it and leaned himself onto the frame.

His gaze was directed to the newly starlit sky, searching for the answers reality couldn't provide.

a/n: so what do you think of this? I know it's not much, but it's gonna turn out to be a Ryu/Nina story, cuz I think the two of them are somewhat predestined to be together. I don't even know if this is a good start, cos I wrote it late at night, while I myself wasn't able to sleepJ (see the similarities?J) So, if anybody thinks I should write on, please tell me. PLLLLLEEEEEEEEEAAAAAASSSSSEEEEEEE……..
