Chapter 4:

A clap of lighting hit nearby which returned them to their senses, but they continued to stay alert. Len who being the leader stood at the front turned around only to see the black hooded figure stand a few meters up the track, and he could see the sword being drawn as he watched on.

"Guys...Run." Len whispered to his team that it was hard to hear over the storm. "What?" Rin asked as Len saw her black bow bob behind him. "It's her, the girl from earlier...She's deadly now run." It seemed that they were not listing to him much to Len's annoyance, but this was no time to give detailed instructions. Being the leader he had to keep his team save from all enemies and this one was the worst type because after all, they had no data on her.

"We're not leaving you Len! We'll just shoot her down and get this whole thing behind us!" Before Len could react Gakupo ran in front of him and aimed his assault rifle at her and fired. "No you Idiot!"

It was like the girl was there and then vanished, but just as Gakupo lowered his guard a sharp pain stared to come from his side. Looking down Gakupo saw blood trickling down his shirt and onto the ground. "GAKUPO!" The scream of horror came from Gakupo's girlfriend Luka as she rushed to him, trying to stop the bleeding as he slumped onto the ground.

Looking back up from Gakupo Len watched as the swords women flicked her sword from afar and watched the blood splatter onto the ground, her face expressionless. This only angered Len more as he looked back at Gakupo and the weeping Luka, Gakupo had become pale quickly as the team stood there stunned, "Gumo! Teto! Get Gakupo into that building over there, Luka you go too they'll need help carrying the supplies. NOW!" Wiping her face from the tears and the rain Luka picked up the medical supplies and ran after Gumo and Teto who were carrying Gakupo's limp body.

Idiot! I told him to stop and look where not doing as I say got him, DAMN IT!

"Rin, Meiko I want you too to guard the house while Gumo and Teto are treating Gakupo! Piko and Neru I want you two to get back to the camp!" Piko took of at once down the slop next to them while Neru stood beside him and pouted. "No fair Len! I want to get some action!"

Len shot a look at Neru making her gasp, she had never seen Len with this type of look before. He had such a stern look on his face with anger deep in his eyes. No more words were needed as Neru strapped back her sniper gun and slid down the slop to get to Piko.

It was strange, the enemy up ahead could of just killed them all while Len was telling everyone to get away. But she still stood there like she was waiting for Len to get prepared. "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT HUH?!" The tealette said nothing as the wind blew her hair and cloak around her, instead she took a step forward making Len draw out his AK-47.

"YOU WORKING FOR THE ENEMY CAMP WE JUST RAIDED?! YOU AN ALLIE TOO THE POEPLE WE KILLED? JUST WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU? ANSWER DAMN IT!"

Still she didn't answer so Len shot round after round at her, just like back at the camp she dodged them in a zigzag like pattern making it almost in possible to hit. All of a sudden the sword was drawn to his neck, dropping his empty gun on the ground Len stood frozen. Only being able to look at the girl in absolute rage. How dare you injure my team! My family!

Just like when she was first on the hill she could of killed them all there and then, but she wasn't moving. Her covered eyes staring at his chest.

"Your...Family?" Much to Len's surprise and questioning thinking the tealette lowered her sword and stood back, now standing up straight she was at the same level as Len, who was still standing stunned and confused.

What the hell? Did she know what I was thinking?

"Family...Friends...Family...What are they? Where are they?" Even against the pouring rain battering down on them Len could see a single tear run down her check, even through the soaked bandages. The next sentence she spoke it was barely a whisper. "Where are you? Why can't I see you?"

Then she dropped her sword and the world blank. But just before her world went black she saw the blond bay running towards her, reaching his hand out towards her, and just before she slipped into darkness the same question kept on repeating itself.

Why?
