[Deth's and Star's room]

(Deth) - Hey give that back.

Deth and Star are fighting over a box of cookies. Deth has just landed on the floor to which Star is sitting on him.

(Star) - NO not till you work on another fanfic for me to edit.

(Deth) - FINE. NOW GET OFF ME.

Deth flips Star over and heads over to the computer with the box of cookies.

(Deth) - THERE MINE. ALL MINE.

Intro ... I think

Katt had been sitting on the steps of Township for about an hour now. It had been about a week sine Death Haeven had been killed by the team of unlikely hero's. Things had become quiet since then though. With the death of Death Haeven, the monster population had seemed to just drop off. For Katt though this was a bad thing she lived from fight to fight, never really knowing what to do after each battle.

Her friends had more or less started going there separate ways. Rand had gone to his home to care for the land his mother left him. Jean had gone back to Nimufu's tower to try and convince the witch of his love for her. Sten and Bow were still hanging around too. Bleu . well Bleu just sort of disappeared Katt came to realize after a second of mental thought. Spar had left to go back to the forests and help quicken the healing of the land.

"I guess that means only Nina, Myself, and Ryu still don't have too many future plans. Although knowing Nina, she's probably off chasing Ryu again." Katt quietly muses to herself. She stands up and starts yelling. "IT'S NOT FAIR. I SAW HIM FIRST." Katt quickly looks around and then goes back to sitting down and quiet deliberation. "It's just not fair. Nina has everything that I don't. Grace, Beauty, Money, Power, She can hover. I mean she's royalty. What guy wouldn't want to be with her then some one who is slow, stupid, childish, furry, and stronger then most guys?"

As Katt is sitting on the steps of the household they all had lived in for the years of fighting, Sten and Bow walk by her. Sten smiles towards Katt and gives her a wink. Bow nods his head but otherwise says does nothing else. Well a woren and Grassrunner don't often get along anyways so at least they weren't at each others throats anymore. She smiles back but otherwise stays quiet thinking. To bad all this thinking was give her a headache.

Katt started to remember the first time she had met Ryu. It was back at the arena. She could remember the roar of the crowd, the cheering, the lights, the smell of sweat, and the first time she saw him. He's blue hair tied back into a pony tail. His sword was held loosely in his hand yet firm enough to show an expertise with it. His body was riddle with sweat from the heat in the arena. But most of what struck her was the scar on his forehead. It was in the shape of a dragon and it just seemed to catch her attention. She was paying more attention to him then the fight and ended up losing but there were times when she just wanted to pounce him right there and hug him. As she remembered this fact she smiled. "Maybe that's why I had taunted him during the fight. I was being really flirtatious though." She giggles and looks up at the setting sun from her vantage point on the Township steps.

Just as she starts to get up, she notices Nina and Ryu walking towards the house. They seem to be talking about something serious. As she looks on Nina nods her head once and practically flies right past Katt without so much as a nod.

Ryu shakes his head once and walks over to where Katt is standing. He sits down on the steps next to her. He looks at Township in the setting sun. The leaves and wood houses all look a deep reddish color as if its autumn. He sighs and hooks his arms a knee and leans back looking at the sky.

"Life can be strange, huh Katt?" Ryu asks her as he sits there. "Here I am the most powerful person to walk the world. And all I want is to spend the time quietly tucked away somewhere."

Katt looks at him briefly with a confused face and sits down next to him. "I'd find it boring rather fast. Especially after the adventures I've had with you and the others. Like inside the Tunlan princesses body, Simafort, Highfort, St. Eva's church, and all the rest. It would be too peaceful for me. I'd rather travel. Or maybe even go back to my old life at the Arena." She looks at him with a sidewise glance. He still looked as good as ever. Although more scars ran along his body. Many caused by the various monsters they had both met. Although some of the wounds were caused by another woren. Tiga really had done a number on Ryu. Well Tiga had just come outta no where and Katt to be his wife. She was glad Ryu stood up for her. To bad he ended up getting a serious beating from it. Katt had almost rushed into the fight and beat Tiga up for hurting Ryu. "Wouldn't you agree?"

"Yeah I guess your right. Maybe I should travel with you. There isn't much else for me to do now. And with my powers I'm dangerous if I stay in one spot to long cause there are still followers of Eva around." He stretches on the steps and looks at the now twinkling stars above. "Although I guess even I'm not all that big in the scheme of things."

"Don't say that Ryu. I wouldn't be alive right now if it wasn't for you. You saved my life on more occasions then I can count, Like at the Arena, Death Haeven, that fight with Tiga; just to name a few of them." She smiles at him and leans her head on his shoulder. "It was always you how kept looking after me. None of the others really noticed me at all. Well except for Sten. EEEEWWWW, that guy is just nasty."

Ryu looks at her and chuckles. "He did come in handy though. Although, you were far better in a fight. Especially after we had you combined with the shamans. Which makes me notice why are you still joined with them."

"Well the Demon Shaman has no way of getting home and The Holy shaman sort of just stayed put. Otherwise, I guess its because we got so used to each other." Katt takes one hand and runs it through her currently long blonde hair. Her ears were sharper, her parasitic looking bathing fitting her body closely, hair tail being longer and wrapped up, and she was wearing mid thigh length steel toed boots. "Is there something wrong with the way I look?" She looks at him and notices a slight blush come over him.

"Uhm . no I guess your look really nice you know." He blushes harder and leaves it at that. She was quite beautiful. To bad to many other people saw her as a vicious animal in need of either taming or killing. "Lets go to bed Katt. We can decide what to do in the morning okay."

"Your really thinking of coming with me?" Katt asks Ryu almost giddily.

"Of course, you were right. Life would be to boring if I just sort of sat around." Ryu looks at her. "Besides, without me around you'd be having only half the fun."

Katt looks at him and smiles before standing up and going inside. "Good Night then Ryu. I'll see you in the morning." With that she steps inside and up to her room.

Outside on the steps Ryu sits and ponders things quietly. "Well looks like I wasn't able to tell her my feelings again." Ryu sighs heavily as he looks at the stars. "Maybe being with her will be fun though." With that thought he starts to drift off to sleep lying under the night sky.

[Afterwards and Author Note]

(Deth) - So how is that everybody will that work for an intro. I know I have so many other stories going that I really should finish them first. However I'm waiting for some personal reasons for one and I'm trying to decide what to do in the Xenogears one. I know I'll think of something.

(Star) - In the mean time I'll be your host. WOOHOO.

(Deth) - NNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

(Star) - Oh you sound like Pedro

At this point is when another fight breaks out and star ends up kneeing Deth in the gut. As Deth lies there slightly unconscious Star smile and gives a thumbs up.

(Star) - YAYE I WON.
