Well, I got so many reviews asking for another chapter and Magnum suggested I turn this story into an R, sorry Magnum, but I'm not experienced at writing stuff like that and I promised myself I would never write an R rated story, no reason whatsoever, but when I make a promise, I try to keep it for at least 5 years.

Oh and you have to remember, in this story, Celestial grew up with no one liking her except the leader, so she's not very soft and probably not very good at making friends.

Celestial had ran in the direction 'Tony' had gone, eventually, she had stumbled across a cave. It was a bit damp, but dry in the depths of the cave and for some reason, a blanket was in the corner, like a bed.

"Hello?" She called, although the cave was small, she suspected someone could be hiding in the many shadows, but nothing answered. She stepped outside of the cave for a moment, looking for any other signs of life.

"Is it possible to forget yourself?"

Celestial knew that voice, she looked above the cave, Lamont was laying on top of the entrance, her backpack hung from his hand.

"You forgot this too." He muttered and tossed it down to her, she caught it and threw it over her shoulder. "What do you want? To insult someone again?" She growled and he shook his head, "Look, I felt bad about what I said back there and I came to say I'm sorry." He said and she rolled her eyes.

"Good, now you can go." She murmured and strode back into the cave, muttering things to herself, she sat roughly down on the make-shift bed and crossed her arms. Lamont jumped down to the entrance of the cave, he sighed and leaned against the wall of the cave.

"I've got enough enemies the way it is, can we call a truce?" He looked over to her and she faced the wall, he sighed again and looked at the floor. "Y'know, you could really be some help to us, Shadow and I have real trouble with GUN and you're really tough."

"He beat me in ten seconds." She interrupted and he shrugged.

"Yeah, but usually anyone from GUN gets beaten in fewer seconds than that." He crossed his arms and looked to the outside of the cave, "And like I said, I have enough enemies. Even my first girlfriend was my enemy."

She looked over at him, he had a girlfriend? "Who was your girlfriend?" She asked, he just sighed again. "Her name's Leanne, she was really nice until I found out she worked for GUN all along... But really..." He shook his head and stared at the cave floor, he seemed a bit upset.

"Fine." She muttered and stood up, he looked over at her questionably, "Fine what?" He asked and she rolled her eyes. "A truce." She stated and held out her right hand, he stood up straight and approached her, they shook hands briefly. Celestial let go quickly and resumed her spot on the blanket, Lamont smirked slightly. "Thanks." He muttered and she shrugged. "I don't know what use I can be, but I presume that assassin will get me sooner or later." She knew the leader had shot the assassin, but even if it was a direct hit, those assassins were known to always... Come back.

"Then live with me, I'll protect you."

She rolled her eyes and huffed. "No way, I don't need anyone to protect me, I either protect myself or die... I wont depend on someone else."

"You depended on the leader." He stated and smirked.

"The only one I trust."

Lamont nodded thoughtfully, he rocked his head side to side and continued to think, "Alright, I'm going home, but if you ever need help.. you know where I live."

"Of course, but I wont need help." She instantly answered and he smiled. "Alright alright, I hope I see you some other time though." He said and swiftly jumped to the top of the cave, Celestial heard his feet clomping against the dirt as he ran off. She claimed the bed as her own and laid to sleep on it, she hadn't slept for around a day or so, so she easily fell asleep.

Later, around 9 pm at night.

"Morning, wait.. it's still night, haha.."

Celestial stirred and opened her eyes, the cave wasn't dark any longer, a lantern sat in the center of the cave, easily lighting the whole cave. She looked to the entrance of the cave, Tony sat there, he held his head in his right hand.

"Stupid assassins." He muttered when she looked at him questionably, she tilted her head, he grinned.

"Every now and then, GUN sends assassins to kill off Shadow and his friends, and every time..." He took his hand off his head to reveal a large cut right next to his ear, "I have to stop them." he smirked and shook his head.

"They're getting professional." He turned to stare outside the cave.

"How did you survive?" She asked and he shrugged easily, then thought about the question. "I'm not sure if I'm alive any longer." He muttered, then laughed. "Anyway... I was listening in earlier, I think you should stay over Lamont's place."

At that Celestial growled, her ears went back threateningly. "No way."

Tony laughed again, "What is it that you hate about him? Just because he's out to get the leader? Or because he insulted animals like me? He didn't directly insult you and yet you feel offended."
"I stick by the leader no matter what happens."

"Then you're stupid." He muttered and turned to look at her.

"If you follow a shadow, you only get hurt, the only one that will comfort you is that shadow, am I right? There's nothing wrong with you, everyone has their little.." He raised his metal hand, "faults..." he sighed and scratched his nose and stared outside again.

"I don't know if this will help, but I can't protect you from the assassins after you, but as long as you stay with Lamont, the leader can watch over you."

She stared at him, "Really?" she asked, he nodded.

"The leader is already watching them, saying they shouldn't be attacked because it has something planned, random sides of the team just like to send out assassins to try and get on the leader's nerves." He murmured and grinned, "Idiots." he finished and looked at her as she stood up.

"Where you going?" He asked in a kind and childish manner, she smiled. "I'm going to live with them. But if I die, it's your fault." She said and they both laughed for a moment, she stepped outside of the cave.

"One question though, Tony... Does the leader actually care?" She turned and was shocked to see the cat gone, even the blanket in the corner, was gone.

"..." Celestial spread her wings, she took to the air easily and quickly flew in the direction of Lamont's house.

Morning

Pikan bolted down the hallway and stopped at the Lamonts door, "Hey Lamont! Mom says if you keep that music on again all night, you'll be in alot of trouble!" She laughed loudly as Amy slowly trotted down the nearby stairs. "Oh! Mom, I almost forgot, I'm going to town today to hunt down Rocket!" She cheered and hopped around like a giddy school girl, Amy looked at her queerly for a moment. "Why?" She asked and the hedgecat jumped around happily, "Because.." she held her hands behind her back and slowly rocked back and forth. "He asked me out on a date."

Amy looked shocked, but had a smile on her face. "Really, okay you have fun then." She said and the hedgecat happily ran out the front door, at that, Lamont stepped outside his room.

"She was lying about me getting in trouble wasn't she?" He asked and Amy nodded, "She just wanted to get you out of bed, it worked didn't it?" She smiled and walked into the kitchen, Lamont smirked and walked through to the loungeroom, instantly he noticed someone laying on the couch. He cautiously stepped over and peeked over the top of the couch, it was Celestial.

"What the? When'd you get in here?" He asked and she opened one eye and looked bored, "Sometime last night, around eleven. If you didn't want me around you could've told me." she murmured and he quickly shook his head, she yawned and stretched.

"Do you want any breakfast?" He asked and she shrugged, "Whatever."

"Well what do you usually eat?"

"Nothing." She answered and she laughed as he looked at her strangely, "Joking... I don't know... Something starting with C." she murmured and he continued to look at her strangely.

"What? It kills my boredom to use things starting with C. Cigarette, Cola... Cash." She laughed and he smiled.

"You smoke?"

Now it was her turn to look at him strangely, "No... I just chew on the butt, makes me look mean." she smirked and he nodded and walked out of the loungeroom.

I'll continue as soon as possible, I've got the storyline but I just got to get rid of my writers block! So sorry, but it'll take another loonngg time.
