A/N: Haha… I have a confession. I sort of… wasn't planning on writing this chapter, but I realize how much of a cliffhanger the last chapter was, so… here you go!

The unexpected battle, the damsel in distress becomes the hero?

The house rattled as a loud rumble echoed through the Joy property. Kid wanted to protect her, that's what you're supposed to do for the girl you like, but he had no idea how. He didn't even know what was going on. Here he was, frightened to death (Haha I just got the Soul Eater reference in that saying. Haha, I'm so corny) and she seemed only slightly startled. If anyone was going to protect anyone, she would probably protect him. With a loud thud, a short man with a bow and two slings filled with arrows stood on the balcony.

"Hello kiddies.' He said in a very pedophile-ish way.

"Holy shit!" Kid and Asika both screamed. They scrambled out of the room and looked around. Asika grabbed Kid's hand and dragged him behind her. She crashed into the wall which melted into a puddle. They heard the glass from the balcony door crash. Asika kicked open a door that kid didn't know was there. She shoved him down the dark staircase, harder than she intended. She used several spells to lock the door. Flicking the lights on, she ran down to the bottom of the stairs to help kid up. "Sorry, I didn't mean to make you fall."

"It's alright." Kid followed her through the basement into the back. He slipped into a small closet which she latched shut. He pulled the string that dangled from the low ceiling. "Asika?"

"Yeah?"

"What are we going to do?" she sighed and sat on the floor next to him. "We don't have any weapons." She pulled her legs to her chest and rested her head on his shoulder

"Well…" she puffed a long breath, "Kid, to be honest with you, I don't actually know. I guess… if he comes down here we can just… I'll use magic."

Kid and Asika leaned against each other, sitting in silence. Listening for every little sound. Any indication of where the man was. They heard nothing. Only each others heartbeat. Asika tightly clung onto him, slightly digging her nails in. She was worried she was hurting him, but the more she wanted to loosen her grip, the tighter she held on. Kid didn't mind. Just the fact that she was holding onto him so tightly made it ok. And even if it did hurt, he would deal with the pain. She was frightened to death. Kid could picture her as a little kid being curled up in a corner crying because of the lightning.

"Guess who's back?" the creepy voice sneered, bounding down the stairs. Asika jumped 'out of her skin' and onto his lap.

"Fuck." She whispered. Kid felt her shiver in her arms. He held her tighter, pretty frightened himself. They heard him come closer and closer to the door. Through a crack in the wood, they could see his ugly face, searching for them. Asika slowly slipped off his lap and lightly leaned against the door.

A small explosion, shuck the room. Kid and Asika were blown against the wall with a hard thud. They looked at each other, listening for any small noise. Anything at all. Nothing. They slowly approached the door, looking through the crack. The man was gone, or as it seemed. Gingerly, the stepped out of the closet and stood up. The basement was dead silent.

"Kids are a pain in the ass." The man groaned, slowly crawling over to them. He tried to sling another arrow. Asika grabbed the color of his shirt and dangled him in the air. Neither of them noticed before, when he was chasing them around and all, but he was really short.

"You're a pain in the ass." The man was thrown against the wall and through a window. Though, Asika didn't move a muscle.

She staggered backwards, feeling her head get fuzzy. Her vision was turned sideways, like in the movies. Kid watched her slowly continue to step backwards. He heard her slightly whimper and fall. He quickly stepped behind her and caught her at the last second. Carefully and slowly, he picked her up and gently made his way up the stairs. She stirred gently, so he decided to lay her down on the couch. He gingerly kissed her forehead and sat across from her.

"I have a headache." She groaned, still with closed eyes, they both laughed
