So thank's to the people who read and reviewed my first chapter. You were very kind and so I have written another chapter for you. I have an idea where I want this story to go and so I'm trying to get it onto my computer as fast as I can Before I Forget (that slipknot reference was unintentional :P)

However I am very limited in the time I have available to write with Uni and stuff. SO please forgive me if I seem to disappear for a little while.

Last night I also had a thought as to why both characters appear gay after reading an article on IGN about Fang initially being male. They say that when the changed him to a her they decided to make Fang the sexy one and making Light not. To me, this has had a major impact on the overall demeanour of the characters. Fang's male framework make her appear gay and Lightnings dumbed down (for lack of a better word) sexiness also makes her appear to be gay (and also her lack of interest in men?). Personally I think both characters are sexy as hell!

Hence me writing Flight fanfic. I hope you enjoy it.

I don't own the characters cos if I did their would be no question as to their sexuality :)

Fang made her way slowly up the mountain. She would have run, but Lightning was surprisingly heavy despite her small figure. Especially after carrying her for the last half an hour and there was still a sizeable distance to go. Lightning was coming in and out of consciousness, mumbling incoherently at times. And when she did Fang would try and keep her lucid by asking questions,

"What you gonna do with your big pay packet Light?"

"Hngh.. buy warm clothe.." and her head lolled back to rest against Fang where she could hear her rapid heartbeat. It was surprisingly comfortable, serving as a reminder that the woman was there and she would take care of her… well she hoped.

"Haha, now that's an idea!"

Fang held tighter, pulling the pink-haired woman into her chest to try and stop her shaking so much. She wasn't shivering, no, Lightning was beyond that. She was having convulsions. Fang looked around frantically for a place to stop that would hopefully be a bit warmer than out in the numbing wind. And that's when she saw a fissure in the mountain. It will do for now she thought. She hurried over to it and let Lightning sit on the ground, her back and head still resting on Fang for warmth. As quickly as she could with the woman still leaning on her, Fang removed her sari and pressed her body over Lightning's who had now curled up into a ball on the ground in front of her.

"Ngh.. F-fang" Her voice was weak and her lips were blue but she had at least stopped convulsing.

"Yeah Sunshine?" Fang replied, her body still covering the woman below.

"I.. d-don't wan-ta d-die" She turned her body slightly to allow Fang to warm her side, and at the same time turning her head to look at Fang's face. Her eyes were closed and for a moment Lightning thought she wasn't going to get a response. If she had been any more lucid she would have noticed the pained look on Fang's face and the single tear that rolled down her face.

"I don't want you to die either" she said finally bringing her dark hand up to cup Lightning's face, who curled into it. "So I'm not going to let you!"

Fang wrapped her sari around the woman's head and draped it over her arms before pulling it tight. Then lifting Lightning back up she continued her slow ascent of the Mountain to their cave.

When she finally made it, Lightning was sleeping soundly in her arms. So soundly that Fang had to check her breathing to make sure she was still alive. Fang let out a sigh of relief as she felt the woman's breath tickle her cheek.

She placed Lightning on her makeshift bed next to the fire pit before she busied herself building a fire from the wood pile they had collected. She cast her newly learned Fira spell before moving her bed to the other side of Lightning and embracing her from behind, not daring to go to sleep in case she went into shock.

"Fang?" Lightning's voice was quick and panicked.

"I'm right here Sunshine." Fang said from behind her, slightly worried that Lightning hadn't noticed that her arm was curled around the smaller woman's waist. Although slightly relieved also because she was way too tired to endure a backhand at the moment.

Lightning's brain was obviously still addled and she was still extremely weak but there was no doubt that she looked much better. She rolled over looked at Fang's face.

"I thought you left me." She said simply.

"Now why would I go and do something like that Sunshine?" Fang smiled before she brushed Lightning's pink hair out of her eyes, her other hand still curled around her waist.

"I don't know, maybe you miss Vanille." Lightning said before resting her head on Fang's shoulder and instantly falling back to sleep.

What a weird thing to say, Fang thought idly. Sure she missed Vanille, she loved Vanille. But the whole reason Fang had agreed to this mission was because Vanille had made it clear that she didn't love Fang like 'that' anymore. Fang couldn't really blame her, they had been together forever, had been in crystal stasis for 500 years together. And now Vanille wanted someone else, or something else. To put it simply, Vanille wanted a relationship with a man. And while Fang was heartbroken at the time, she now understood that she was holding Vanille back, so she let her go. Now looking down at Lightning, she didn't care so much. All she cared about was making Lightning healthy again. Even if it meant staying by her side while the sky fell.

Fang pulled Lightning closer as she moaned wonderfully in her sleep, causing Fang's heart to beat slightly faster and a small heat rising in her centre. Fang was oblivious to these feeling's however and kissed Lightning on the head as she silently prayed for morning to come quicker. For that is when they are having supplies delivered and hopefully someone who can make Lightning healthy again.
