Tenshi jolted up and heaved a sigh. Her head pulsing in pain as she thought, that dream, it seemed so real. Looking around she saw a fire already burning, and huge trees circling around her. It seems I'm not the only one here.

A tall man with black hair that fell to his shoulders, and bangs long enough that covered his eyes entered the camp. He wasn't scrawny but he wasn't all muscle. The light of the fire hit his left cheekbone perfectly; looking closely you could see the shadow of a long scar that stretched across his cheek. He had armor on his forearms, a black vest with fur on the collarbone, and a jewel that hung around his neck. His black pants falling loosely around his hips. He had two jackrabbits over his shoulder ready to be cooked over the fire.

The man sat down and started to cook them, then turned to her. "Are you okay Tenshi? Man, the demon must've gotten a good hit at you. Your looking around like you have no idea who I am or where you are." He chuckled a bit then kept speaking, "Well I shouldn't pick on you too much you were never before defeated by a demon, you always killed them first."

Suddenly everything came back again, "I was…. just stunned for a little bit. Nothing more." Tenshi said as she looked at Ito.

Yeah that's right, the man is Ito. And that demon reminded me so much of someone or something from—oh its most likely just my imagination. Well I got distracted and the demon hit me, knocked me out.

Reviewing all that happened in her head made her less confused and she pushed back all that rubbish of that look alike stuff.

"Well you know it's officially been ten years since we first met. And you are much better at fighting then you were when I first found you. You were like a blank book, didn't remember anything. And you sucked up everything I taught you. Look at you now, a perfect warrior!" Ito said to Tenshi smiling.

Tenshi gave him a smile back, but surprisingly she didn't care if she was one of the best warriors. I thought I wanted that, to be able to destroy anything in my way. I just don't know what I want…I guess I never did know.

"Ito what happened to the demon?"

"Well for one thing he didn't kill you, which surprised me. Actually, he just walked away." Ito replied calmly but with a little twinge of curiosity.

"Just walked away? And you let him get away?" Tenshi said a little frustrated that a demon that defeated her just left with no scratches on him.

"Yep, he just walked away and I let him get away." Ito suddenly turned his attention to her as she got up and started heading into the woods. "Where are you going? Hey I didn't want to pursue the demon, I let him go so I could get you some where safe."

"I would've liked it better if you would've just destroyed that demon first!" Tenshi yelled at him.

"Then you would've died Tenshi! Your head was bleeding, didn't you feel the bandage around your head!! And what if something happened to me? You would probably be end up the way I found you."

Tenshi stopped in her tracks, slowly turning around. The apologetic look in her eyes was visible.

"I'm sorry Ito, you have done so many things for me and I repay you by getting angry." Tenshi sat down beside Ito as he started to pull the rabbits out of the fire. "So he just left?" As she asked the question you could feel the curiosity seeping out of her words.

Ito's mouth slid to the side as he handed the meat to Tenshi, "Well you know he did have help." Ito threw the skins into the fire; you could hear the cackling as the rabbits fur began to disappear. Little fireflies seemed to come from the fire soaring into the dark sky.

The meat of the rabbit was now half gone, strips of meat now dangled like they were about to break off. "Help? It must've been what threw me off. I believed he was alone."

"You better eat before it turns cold or goes to waste." Ito said looking intently at the floor that now held wasted good food.

"I'm eating, I'm eating" Tenshi replied acting annoyed. They ate in silence feeling no need to say anything.

The food had filled her up, her stomach no longer growled angrily. But now her eyes seemed to single it was time to sleep. She looked to Ito to see him staring at her and his knowing glance reminded Tenshi of how well he knew her.

"Goodnight Tenshi." Ito said getting up from where he was sitting. He leaned down and kissed her on the temple.

"Goodnight Ito." Tenshi smiled as he kissed her. The next second she was asleep not dreaming, finally resting.
