anyways on to the story...


The room is quiet as she slips from beneath the cold lonely covers. She sits looking out of the window of the inn laughing bitterly, how could she call them cold or lonely? Never once had he laid with her in any covers.

'Are you ever coming home? Will you ever come back to us?" She let her mind wander to the night he left. He had few words for her, fewer still were the kind ones. Much had changed since that night, the many he had left behind had matured. She had long realized that his presence was more important than him returning her love. She could take the cold shoulder and be happy, if it only meant that he was once again home.

"We've gotten stronger...both of us...We are coming for you. We will bring you home kicking and screaming if we have to." She laid back down in her rented bed, trying to calm her mind enough to sleep. How could she sleep when they were drawing so close to him? sighing in defeat she let her mind continue to wander over to him. How long had the two of them ached to reclaim their, how to say it, "fallen" friend? But they were going to put an end to that now weren't they? The two had promised themselves that they wouldn't return without their friend, or they wouldn't return at all. Eventually sleep claimed her exhausted body.

She jerked awake at the persistent pounding on her door, rolling from her bed she padded to the door. She stared at the door angrily for a second before cracking it cautiously, dropping her guard once seeing it was the particular loud-mouth who was in on her two-"man" promise. She stepped aside and pulled the door open for him to come in.

"Close the door behind you, I still need to get ready." He nodded and closed the door. He looked out the window waiting for her to get ready so they could leave. She placed a hand on his shoulder signaling that she was ready. He smiled and began the walk out of the inn. All that day they walked, for the first half of the day they were silent. Then the young man decided that perhaps that reminiscing was favorable to silence. She indulged him, soon finding that it brought a smile to her face as well as his. She laughed at his enthusiasm he re-told their past and how much he exaggerated things involving their target. The man realized his companion was no longer by his side. He turned to look for and found her frozen in place and staring, following he gaze he found what caused her surprise. It was indeed the very man for which they were searching for.

"Come back home...NOW!" The young man yelled at him.

"Hn...Only if she can beat me" a smirk crossed his face as he spoke to the man in front of him whose jaw was now agape. The woman snapped back into reality and nodded.

"If that is the way you want it...then fine." She shrugged off her cloak and adjusted her gloves. 'I only need one punch to connect' she thought grimly to her self. One hit would be all that was needed with her new strength.

Just one hit.
