Okay everyone. to begin with *Inhales Deeply* I AM SO SORRY! I neglected to update this for FOREVER, because I have been writing my .hack fic. But I am Finally going to update for those of you who have been begging! In this chapter, The truth behind Sophie's anger is revealed!

Josh Newman, was a heap on the ground. Physical exaustion was the cause. He had been training Non stop with Clarent for hours. 2 days ago, he unlocked the full potential of Clarent, releasing it from it's stone form. The metallic blade in Josh's hand throbbed, and he woke. "What happened?" The last thing he remembered, was feeling an extreme surge of power, then blacking out. He sat up, and rubbed the back of his head. "What... was it?" Deciding to rest for a bit, he picked up clarent, and returned it back to it's scabbard

He walked down the halls of the hotel, and went in the buffett. Exhausted as he was, Josh still had a huge appetite. Loading his plate with Sausage, french toast, eggs, and more syrup than anyone could ever want, He chose a table and chowed down. He did not even notice St. Germion join him.

"Well! Look who finally decided to join the world of the living!" Josh looked up to see his friend smiling. "Hey!" The teenage boy replied through mouthfulls of food. To this, the frenchman found amusing. After how long Josh trained, anyone was liable to be sleepy and starved. "How was your training with clarent?" Josh finished his glass of apple juice, and sighed. "Long... hard... throbbing." St. Germion could not resist saying "That's what she said!" And without a moments hesitation, Josh slugged him in the arm. "Ouch!" The master of fire yelled at his agressor as he walked out of the buffett.

Walking back to the dojo, Josh saw someone that brightened his face. "Hey Scatty! Over here." The Vampire smiled and ran over to Josh to give him a hug, in which he did return. "Hey handsome." She purred into his ear. "Hey sexy." He returned. They let go of each other and smiled. "Whatchya up to?" She asked. Josh shrugged "I got done with breakfast, so, I'm going to train some more with Clarent." Getting excited, she asked "Can I join please?" Shrugging he answered "Sure! I could use some help. Let's go up to your sis's and my room for a sec. Okay?" Josh chuckled. "Yea an tell her I will be collapsed on the floor again! Oh yea so fun." Scatty giggled as they headed for the elevators.

Josh stood with Scathach for a while, waiting for the elevator to come. Before. "Hey Josh? Do you know what sex is like?" The innocent boy nearly choked, but replied. "No Scatty! I wouldn't know." Now grinning mischeviously, Scatty decided to harass him further. "Thats odd I thought you would have had at least 10 girls by now." Josh sighed. "1: I am not like that, 2: Scathach... I didn't know you were a pervert." She grinned and asked "Does that turn you on?" Before she got slapped upside the head, and Josh ener the Elevator.

Josh used his keycard scanner to open the door to Scatty's and Soph's room, to see his sister laying on her bed, listening to her Ipod. Noticing the two come in, Sophie removed an earbud and asked, "Where you two heading off to? Scatty dove underneath her bed searching, leaving Josh to say. "Oh, just the dojo for some more training, thats all." She frowned "Are you pushing yourself again?" He quickly shook his head and shreiked "Nonononono! What would give you an idea like that?" "Got 'em." Shouted a triamphunt vampire, now holding twin swords. Acting fast to get out of there Josh spoke quickly. "WellSophGottaGoTrainingAwaits. LoveYouBye!" With that, Josh fled the room, with Scatty, leaving a seilent Sophie.

OwO ^_^ . . =P O.o -_- XD ;) Δ Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground.

Cling!

"Your left side is too open."

"R-right... g-got it."

Clang

"Use the flat of the sword, if you can, to counter thrusts."

Chink

WOOSH

"Hey! That stroke nearly decapitated me just about now!"

"Heh Heh Heh Heh Heh..."

The two had been going for a while now, and Scatty saw major improvments in every move Josh made. He almost got passed her guard a couple of times. She was rather proud to be his teacher. "Yeeeeahhhhh! Super awesome, mega ultra, jump in the air, downwards slash attack!" Josh jumped in the air and Scatty brought her blade over her head screaming, "Sunnavabitch!"

His sword met her two, and they both fell, laughing. Josh was ontop of Scatty nearly crying as Scatty managed to wheeze out, "Super awesome, mega ultra, jump in the air, downwards slash attack? What kind of horribly disfigured name is that?" Josh rolled off from ontop of her, and came back with. "One that I came up with thank you very much!" All of a sudden, Sophie stepped in the dojo.

"He's not naming his own attacks again is he? Good lord they suck!" They all laughed for a bit, and Josh got back to his feet. "Did you need something Soph?" She nodded and said "Yea, could you commere?" He smirked and said, "Sure, I'll be right back Scatty, don't wait for me okay?" Without waiting for a response, Josh followed sophie to the elevators.

The twins were in Josh's room, when he looked at her curiously. "Hey Soph, you never told me what you needed me for," She shook her head. "I just wanted to talk." Josh raised an eyebrow. "About?" Sophie sighed. "Josh you do know I love you right?" Josh smiled. "Of course I do. I love you too Sophie, you are my sister, forever." She frowned "Augh... you are so dense! I love you Josh! More than you can Imagine!" Josh cocked his head to the side. "What do you mean Soph's? More than I could eve... MMPH!" The teenage boy had no idea what happened. All he knew that there was something tight around his waist, and something soft pressed against his own. It felt really nice, and good. His eyes wandered down to see Sophie, crying with her eyes closed, and her arms wrapped around him. He wondered why she was crying, until it clicked. Sophie was kissing him.
