Authors note:

This is my second Fanfic I decided to do this because I've always loved the idea of Yunsung and Talim as a couple, can't get enough of this game (I'm only at level 60 with my brother…), and I've always wondered about….oh look at me! Giving away storylines! We shall save that little surprise for later chapters. Anyway on with the story! And please review! I need ideas as I am working through a writers block at the moment.

"Yunsung…what are you doing here? Y-you live in Korea. Shouldn't y…" Talim whispered in shock. She was standing just outside her village in-front of Hong Yunsung, the eighteen year old boy she had encountered on her quest to find soul edge.

Yunsung merely smiled and leaned forward, whispering in her ear,

"I came to see you silly." And kindly lifted her chin so she was looking straight into his smiling eyes. She looked into his eyes then looked down; she saw a clock on the ground. It was moving fast bus she paid it no heed.

Then without warning she turned and lightning fast, shadow-like figure came up behind her. She felt a chill run down her spine and the winds changed. She knew this feeling very well.

"The evil seed…the sword…" she whispered to herself. Yunsung tried to protect Talim but the shadow like figure jumped high in the air like lightning, and just as quickly as it jumped, it pounced on Talim.

A dull pain in her head…white light…then…

"TALIM! You'd think venturing out on a journey by yourself at fifteen would've given you some discipline but no as lazy as ever…" Talim's grandmother Kalana complained while tapping Talim on the forehead with her wooden cane to wake up her sleeping granddaughter. Talim groaned slightly then shot up almost immediately.

"Mmmphf. Hong…" Talim whispered to herself. She looked around and there she was in her bed, her grandmother looking down on her pretending to be annoyed but her kind smiling brown eyes (much like Talim's) gave her away. Then she realised, Yunsung, the shadow-like man, it was nought but a dream. This slightly frustrated the fifteen year old. She frowned slightly and turned her head upwards to her grandmother Kalana and Kalana nodded understandingly.

"You had an interesting dream I take it?" She smiled. Talim blushed and nodded. Her grandmother chuckled.

"I won't pry. I suggest you go to your father, he is the Shaman you know!" and with that Kalana carried her old bones out of Talim's room on her two frail legs leaving Talim to get dressed and go down to see her father.

Talim walked out to the front of the house to see her father who was eating at the time.

Her father looked up and smiled. He washed his hands in the bowl of water by his food and gestured to Talim to speak.

"Sorry to disturb you father but, I had a dream I would like you to tell me the meaning of…" she said politely.

"Dear child. Did I not teach you the ways of a Shaman such as divination, astral projection and interpreting dreams?" Talim's father Sanput said giving Talim a fatherly look.

"Yes, and I've been learning hard but, I can only do it on simple dreams now…" Talim said quietly.

"As you wish…Tell me the dream exactly as you remember it." Sanput said sternly.

"Erm…Okay…" Talim said quietly. She sat in a chair and began, while blushing and fighting not to meet her fathers gaze.

"I was, standing just outside the village, by the river with…a boy…and…" Talim started.

"It would help if you told me the boy's name." Sanput said trying hard not to chuckle.

"Hong…Hong Yunsung, ahem…well we were by the river and, I asked him what he was doing there and he told me he came to see me and, I saw a clock on the floor and it was moving fast, Then a dark figure came behind me like a moving shadow, as fast as lightning…I…I felt the wind change, the being was full of evil, I, I could sense something else but I can't quite pinpoint it…but mostly I felt the same thing I felt years ago…at the time when I fell unconscious. The, the dark figure attacked Yunsung and I as I was woken up by Grandma…" Talim said quickly and clearing her throat at the mention of Hong Yunsung.

Her father closed his eyes and his lips curled upwards into a small smile.

"What does the dream mean?" Talim asked Sanput.

"Two things. Firstly, you are in fact infatuated with this Hong Yunsung who I presume you met on your journey to find that dreadful sword…" Sanput said grinning at his daughter lowering her gaze to the floor.

"Secondly, that dream…was a vision."

Within the Seung dojo, in Chirisan Korea, one 18 year old boy couldn't sleep a wink.

"How could you just go home and not say a thing to her you stupid stupid…you could've said something but noooooooooo! You had to be a chicken! UGH!" He thought to himself. He lay in bed and turned to face the curtain in the doorframe separating his room from the grounds. It was early morning ad Yunsung was supposed to have been up at the crack of dawn. He hoped his master would be to busy with his daughter Seung Mina to remember his other student. This gave Yunsung some time to think.

He turned over again, to face his Dao. As the soft sunlight fell onto the blade, making it glint slightly, he was taken back to his journey to find the demonic blade that was soul edge, where he first met Talim.

"Talim…" he thought. He closed his eyes tightly. Whenever he heard, said or thought that name, something, deep within his being, in his very soul, something…seemed to make his heart almost push out of his chest. He sighed and continued to think about Talim.

"She's just so…hot…" Yunsung sighed "With her beautifully soft skin, her long soft black hair, her innocently smiling brown eyes, her sweet smile, and her amazingly shapely body, her…" He was deep in fantasy at this point when he remembered where he was and opened his eyes quickly.

"Stop it ya perve! Gees! You're getting hot over a picture in your head!" He hit himself over the head as punishment with the handle of his Dao then continued to think.

"You can't think about her like that! Besides, it's not just her looks, it her personality. Just how sweet and innocent she is, how much she loves the world, her love for all things good, but she's no push over. When she wants to fight she FIGHTS! And then if she wins she thinks it was just luck, she's just so modest…nothing like me but somehow…somehow I hope deep in her heart, she likes me back…" He closed his eyes and was in deep thought until he heard a rustling sound that came from somewhere near his room. He sat up and looked around to find, nothing. So he lay back down and descended back into thought.

"Hmmm… Could I possibly…" he started to think to himself to himself.

Suddenly, the curtains separating his room from the grounds spread open fiercely and none other than his master Seung Han Myong.

"Hong. Am I mistaken or are you not supposed to get out of bed at the crack of dawn as you have since you decided to train with me? Or is it that you have decided to be an idol coward and discontinue your training?" Seung Han Myong said sternly, tapping his feet.

"I'm err…meditating?" Yunsung said grinning; desperately hoping his master would believe him.

Seung Han merely raised his eyebrow, closed his eyes and shook his head slowly.

"Didn't think that would work…" Yunsung sighed.

A head popped up behind Seung Han Myong, holding her zanbatou and giggling slightly.

"Mina! Oughh you SNITCH!" Yunsung grinned jumping out of bed in his pyjama trousers and running out, chasing Seung Mina, Dao in hand.

She ran, laughing her head off and jumped onto the roof where Yunsung couldn't get to her quickly.

"You will soooo pay!" Yunsung said, pointing his sword at Seung Mina and trying not to grin.

She merely poked his head with the end of her zanbatou until he walked off to start his days training. But after his little "lie-in" it would mostly consist of chores. He sighed and continued on inside.

"Hmmm…How far away are the Philippines?"

W-w-what do you mean a vision? I've never had a vision before! I…" Talim said hurriedly. She was in utter shock.

"Now calm down pet. I could be wrong, but it's very likely. Also I think the clock must indicate this happening over a period of time so the vision wont all happen at once how old is the boy?" Sanput said, not raising his head from his food.

"Err…18…" Talim said quietly. Sanput nearly choked on his food.

"W-what?"

"Well must go do my chores for the day. Bye!" Talim said getting out of her chair and walked off quickly. Her dad merely chuckled quietly.

"Hm. Sweet. She's growing up."

"He seems…distracted…" Seung Han Myong said to his daughter. They were watching Yunsung practise. He wasn't doing as well as usually.

"ARGH! DAMNED BLADE!" Yunsung yelled after dropping his Dao for the millionth time.

"Erm…understatement of the century." Seung Mina said to her father. She looked at Yunsung pityingly.

"Go and see what's bothering him." Seung Han said.

Seung Mina looked at her dad and opened her mouth to say something but just went to talk to Yunsung because she knew she was going to loose the fight anyway.

"Hey what's up kiddo?" Seung Mina said to Yunsung.

The fact I'm not in The Philippines.

"Erm nothing Mina I'm fine!" Yunsung lied.

"Don't lie to me kid. You've been like this since you came back to the dojo what's wrong?" Seung Mina asked.

"Why do you care?" Yunsung asked. He wasn't the biggest fan of Seung Mina and her slight attitude problem

"Hey, just coz I use you as a pack mule doesn't mean I don't care about you a little." Seung Mina grinned devilishly.

Yunsung gave a half hearted laugh.

"Let me guess…is it…a girl? " Seung Mina asked. Yunsung hid his face but Seung Mina could tell he was blushing. She started to grin.

"Wow! I was kidding! Who is she? Do I know her?" She asked. By this point she was grinning her face off.

"I think so…It's…Talim…" Yunsung said quietly. He was as red as beetroot and his heart got that pushing feeling again so he closed his eyes.

"The little Philippino wind dance girl? The one you can't look at without going "awwwww!" Do you mean her?" Seung Mina asked leaning on her zanbatou and leaning closer into Yunsung red face and whispered, now a little more serious but still smiling,

"You love her to distraction don't you?" Yunsung nodded.

"But I can't see her and tell her because she's in an entirely different country!" he whispered fiercely, stabbing the ground with his Dao. Seung Mina felt so sorry for him. She looked at his pityingly and asked,

"Do you know the direction to where she is? Could you get there?" Yunsung nodded.

"Wow he's quiet! This is scary I've never seen the kid like this before…Gees he's got puppy dog eyes…" Seung Mina thought sadly.

"Got get her." She grinned.

"Wha? The master won't let me, I'll get caught I…" Yunsung said happily confused.

"I'll straighten it out. Go get 'em Kidd." Mina grinned. She winked at him and walked inside.

Yunsung grinned his cheeky, lopsided grin and said,

"I owe you one…just don't get used to it…"

Yunsung stood by the gate, a bag on his back and his Dao in hand. He looked back, waved goodbye to Seung Mina and Seung Han Myong and set off.

"To the village of the wind deity…" he thought to himself, and walked on with a spring in his step.

"He's adorable isn't he?" Seung Mina said to her father

"Mmmm. Follow him and keep him out of trouble…" Seung Han said, not changing his expression.

"WHA!" Seung Mina yelled. She went violent red and looked like she was about to scream obscenities at her father. Then she closed her eyes, sighed and said quietly while turning around.

"I'll get my bag…"

It was six months since Talim's vision and though she had faith in her father's abilities, she was starting to loose faith.

She was practising with Loka Luha and Syi Salika outside her house when she decided to take a break. She called her bird Alun and she began to talk to him.

"Oh Alun I'm seriously considering giving up hope as far as Yunsung coming is concerned. I don't doubt my father but…oh I don't know what to think anymore Alun!" she said worriedly. She put her head in her hands and gazed up at Alun. Alun looked at her then looked out into the distance and suddenly flew off. Talim got up immediately, grabbed Loka Luha and Syi Salika and ran to follow him giggling all the way.

"Ha-ha! Alun! You know how ha-ha, much I enjoy chasing you but not now I…" Talim said between fits of giggles until she stopped and gasped. Standing there, with Alun on his shoulder, was one eighteen year old boy, with brown hair, a cocky smile, a bag on his back and a Dao in his hand.

"Is this what you're looking for?" He smirked.

"Yunsung…what are you doing here? Y-you live in Korea. Shouldn't y…" Talim whispered in shock.

Yunsung merely smiled and leaned forward, whispering in her ear,

"I came to see you silly." And kindly lifted her chin so she was looking straight into his smiling eyes. Talim bit her lip and slowly Yunsung lowered his lips to hers.

"AHEM." Came a voice from behind Talim. She turned quickly to see her mother Lidi standing there tapping her feet, trying hard to look stern but, like her mother Kalana, her eyes gave her away.

"So this is Hong Yunsung I presume." Lidi said raising her eyebrow. Yunsung and Talim split apart almost immediately and almost simultaneously started blushing.

"I'll take that as a yes then. Come inside and have something to eat. I can tell your journey from, Korea was it? Must have been tiring. Coming Talim?" Lidi smiled. Talim walked behind Yunsung and gently tapped Alun on the beak.

"I owe you one…" She whispered to him.

Once the 4 were gone back into the village, a certain 23 year old popped out of the bushes. Scratched all over and gasping for air and coughing.

"UGH! Once I get my hands on you Hong I swear you will never forget it. All the stuff I had to do for you and do I get anything to eat? Noooo! UGH! Look at me I'm a wreck!" Mina sighed. She leaned on her zanbatou and thought to herself.

"Dad. You SO owe me…"

if you don't know, Shamanisim is a faith that talim's village practises so i had to do a tiny bit of reaserch for this fic. The Shaman of the village can do things such such as astral projection, which is an out of body experience, divination which is like fortune telling using things like say...tea leaves, and interpreting dreams. Just thought i'd give you a little info on some parts you might not get. and by the by, if you dont remember Talim's bio from the game, all of the names are real including Alun.
