Disclaimer: I don't own the Soulcalibur characters Talim and Kilik…Namco do….

The story takes place 2 years after the games had ended….

Chapter 1: The half confession.

Talim stood on a high rock and looked absent over the big prairie, which was more widen than the eye possible could see. A silent wind fag around her, though her long raven hair. A faint smile appeared on her lips, when it told her how things went back home in South Asian. She bowed thankfully and saw tearful up in the blue sky, the sun burning her golden skin. It was hard to imagine that it was five years ago she travelled out on a quest to find the missing red-hot pieces of Soul Edge and destroy them. She couldn't return to The Village of The Wind Deity even if it now were two years ago of the ending of Nightmare. Her life had changed too much. She was no longer only a wind priestess but also a fighter…

Someone cleared his throat. Talim turned around and saw Kilik a few meters away.

"Yes?" She asked and raised a fine black eyebrow.

"We're leaving" he answered and turned in a way that made his old red cloak with the yellow marks swing. Kilik was wearing the same clothing – the same of everything - as the day they met in the connection of Nightmare. In some point of views she couldn't understand him. What kind of happening can make a guy to behave so careless about him self? She thought and followed after him.

Talim on the other hand had made sure to buy some new things in the last town they passed. She looked down of herself while walking. A new white top as the old one, white panties she had underneath a deep green scarf and soft leather boots.

"Where are we going?"

"I don't know yet, Talim" He said with clenched teeth.

She frowned. What have I done? She looked examined on him. His entire attitude was dismissive. Then she decided that she had enough of him- Enough of him being negative all the time.

Talim walked in his way and laid stubborn her arms over cross.

"What is your problem, Kilik!" She demanded to know.

"What are you talking about? "He was apparently irritated, but something told her he was confused and nervous. That awaked her curiosity.

"I – You are always so mad," Her voice was shaking unsure because of his dark eyes on her. "And I feel it's somehow against me. You know, it's not easy to be around when you are like that."

She leased out a sigh of relief. Now when she had put her frustration in words, she had it much better.

"Do you really think you are the reason? Of course you're not. Nevertheless not all of it" He said and smiled for the first time in awhile - a cryptically one.

Talim was surprised. She hadn't expected that she actually was a part of his anger. Her heart beat suddenly faster. Why? She asked her self. Am I happy because of his sayings? No, no… I'm not falling for Kilik!

"Ok…" she mumbled blushing with her brown eyes on the red ground.

"Ok? What kind of answer is that?" Kilik said laughing and took his staff over his broad shoulders.

Everything got too much for her. Kilik so glad all of a sudden and her new explored feelings for him.

"Come on! Let's get moving and not just talk," said she and began running.
