So guys, NEW CHAPTER! And this one I tried to make extremely romantic! *Hint* *Hint* Kiss!

But yeah guys, still not just Joss Stirling so don't get your hopes up... Sorry?

"Thank you." I whispered back, feeling much better than I had moments ago while panicking because of all the flying shards of wood and the explosions.

"Any time." He told me sounding completely honest and sincere, hearing him say that brought a new wave of happiness through me but I confined it to the back of my mind do I could feel it but the feeling couldn't take me over. At that moment my brother came into view and I heard a door banging open, which reminded me not only of where we were but also of our audience, Zed and Sky who had both helped us but who we hadn't even said hello to.

"Iris are you Ok? Dear God don't scare me like that again!" My brother pulled my attention back to him and I smiled and shook my head at him, signalling that I hadn't done it on purpose, but why would I have? This always happened when my emotions got the better of me, which was the sole reason for why I kept them all under lock, at least the untameable ones that I couldn't keep control of once they were let out.

"I'm fine." It came out a little muffled but he understood and gripped me closer to his chest, not caring about anything else in the world, and I could relate to that because up until now Xander had been the only important part of my life. Now though I was trying to extend my horizon and my fondness to other people, more specifically Will.

"What happened?" Asked a different voice from behind me, I didn't even have to turn around to know who it was. I already knew.

"My emotions went crazy, they do that when I'm happy or sad." I didn't turn to tell Will my answer and stayed cuddled up in my brothers arms even if my heart wanted a different pair of arms. When I registered what was happening I banished that side of me to the corner of my mind reserved for emotions and buried it under darkness so I wouldn't be able to feel it any more. Nobody, and I meant nobody, would take my brother's place in my heart, not even my soulfinder. I realised it had been quiet for a while and tried opening my eyes, but I was so drained I plummeted down into absolute darkness for the second time that day.

I felt something caressing my cheek and then something else moving through my hair softly and gently in a soothing gesture. The hands that were doing that were unfamiliar, so not my brother's, but felt comforting and calming all the same and soon I found myself leaning closer to the person that had my head on their lap. And that's when I realised something wasn't right. Opening my eyes slower than I would have liked I saw a blurry aura sharpen until it was recognisable, it was Will's. With that out of the way I snuggled on the soft surface where I was placed and tried to go back to sleep only to be interrupted by my soulfinder's beautiful voice. Not that it sounded very beautiful at that time.

"Rissie I saw your eyes open." He told me softly and laughing a little. I popped an eye open and gave him the best glare I could muster but dropped it as soon as I saw his glowing aura. It was even more amazing than I remembered because this time it wasn't just full of happiness but love. I couldn't help it but tap into what he was thinking and got the shock of my life. Love for this beautiful girl that doesn't have anybody to call family except for one person and who seems to suffer so much but never lets it show- At that point I stopped, scared by I had just heard. He loved me? Already? How could I keep up with him? Ignoring all those questions I went for one that wouldn't require much of an answer and that wouldn't bring the love topic up. I didn't think I was ready for that yet.

"Is that your new nickname for me?" He was silent so I guessed he nodded and was confirmed by the sound of a face palm and him sighing.

"Sorry, I nodded, but yeah, do you like it?" I laughed and couldn't help but overhear his thoughts A melodic and beautiful laugh. I nodded, choosing not to pay attention to his mind, instead focusing on his words.

"I don't mind at all." Only my brother called me Rissie but he added roo to the end and made it sound like the childish nickname that it was. My dad had called me that first and it soon passed like a virus to the rest of my family only to die a few years later when Xander grew up and decided to call me by my real name. "I think it's sweet." At that his aura became a thousand times more beautiful while I just looked at it entranced, who knew I could have that effect on a person just by saying four words? It made me feel important, even if it was just to him.

"Great." He then stopped as if remembering something and I heard another slap as if he'd face palmed again. "We really need to go!" He exclaimed sitting up abruptly and making my head fall from his lap onto the soft carpet I was laying on. "Sorry! My parents told me to meet them at the café as soon as you woke up."

"It's Ok." He didn't listen to me, putting an arm around my shoulders and helping me up as if I could brake any second, like a delicate ornament made of glass. My beautiful fragile flower. Seriously? I really should stop eavesdropping. "Honestly." I said a little more imposingly but didn't put any power behind it and still let him drag me to the door.

"Yeah, sure." As soon as he opened the door droplets of water fell on my cheeks and I could hear them hitting the pavement rhythmically, not being stopped by any problems out there even though there were many. Just raining, making different music that sounded strange to some ears but routine to others. All just there holding meaning for some but seeming meaningless to most. I wasn't part of the most though. Rain brought a handful of memories of dancing in the rain with Xander when I was nine and of splashing in puddles when I was eight, having to ask my brother where they were so I could step on them and not on the dry land. It brought happy memories that I wanted to relive no matter the price. I could feel Will shuffling and searching for an umbrella but I stopped him, not wanting to stop the raindrops from settling on my hair and clothes and from making my whole being damp. I wanted to go back to happy times and rain was a direct link back.

"Don't, let's go in the rain without the umbrella." He seemed confused for a minute, but shook it off almost straight away, getting happier and holding onto my hand to take me out into the wonderful miracle that was rain. I took the lead not seeing where we were going but not caring, laughing my head off and twirling every few minutes just for the sake of it. I'll make it rain every day if it gets her this happy. This time I didn't ignore Will's comment and instead embraced it, never wanting to let go. I was finally happy, I had my soulfinder, my brother was safe and I was dancing in the rain with the love of my life. I stopped abruptly and held my other hand out, he caught onto what I wanted quickly and pressed his hand into mine. Grabbing onto it I started spinning us around with a smile that couldn't have gotten any larger and that wouldn't have been erased for anything in the world. Nothing.

Mayhem was going on around us, thunder that was surely accompanied by lighting was heard from a distance but I didn't care that we were in the middle of a thunderstorm with our clothes getting wet and our shoes becoming soggy, because I was in my happy place and nothing could take me away from here, not my insecurities, not my meltdowns and I certainly hoped, not my energy expulsion attacks. Will was a good dancer and spun me a few times, once even doing a dip that made my blond hair brush the ground silently. Dancing with him seemed effortless and amazing and I knew why. We were soulfinders, and I loved it, every second of it.

We then stopped for no apparent reason, just coming to a stop at the same time and looking into the other's eyes, or in my case his aura. He came closer and dipped his head so that we were level and kissed me. It was magical, like hearing his voice in my head for the first time, again fireworks went off behind my closed eyelids and magic flowed within me making the world look like a beautiful place even if I could only see the people in it and not the objects or the motionless things it contained. We stood there for what seemed like hours, Will kissing me softly and slowly while I kissed him back, for once forgetting about all my problems and just concentrating on one sentence.

Will was my soulfinder. And I wouldn't trade it for anything because he was my everything.

If you guys have any better nicknames for her then please tell me because her name is extremely difficult to play with to make cool pet names and I was thinking of getting a really cool one. So pretty please with cherry on top?
