She sat and listened carefully to his breathing, it was becoming very shallow. She turned to look at him, his eye's were closed and he was shivering, she slowly got out of the chair and crossed the library to the nearest abandoned room and took a blanket off the old bed.

Walked back to the library and placed the silk blanket on his sleeping form and curled up next to him. Her thoughts were filled with pain, a unconscious pain that was in the deep darkness in the back of her mind something that would not go away.

She directed her thoughts to her pack and family she had left when she went to find her betroved, she had never found him so she now finally gave up. She looked down to the angel next to her, how was he so peaceful? Had the world not bared it's justice against this mercenary prince.

Her thought's wandered back to her betroved, he had short cropped black hair, shining brown eye's a smile that lit up her day. He wasn't suited for romance that she was sure of, but she was drawn to stay by his side, but he left for long periods of time. She missed him sometimes but others she loathed his existence.

flash back~

"He was now dead to her he had left her for his foul brother" she thought. The day she had met his brother her and her best friend did not like him. Snake's brother had shoulder length black hair, golden eye's and a smirk promptly in place.

Snake gestured for her to shake his brother's hand, she timidly reached out and shook his hand, but he had other idea's of a nice to meet you her eye's widened in horror as he pulled her into a embrace and kissed her on the cheek.

She looked to snake for help but he shrugged.

She removed herself from steel and briskly walked out of the room and into the library. Snake and steel followed to her annoyance, she gave them a look only her father managed to have, this look could stop the worst killer in the world in his tracks and make him turn himself in to the jail.

Snake shivered at the look and avoided her eye's " I think you and steel should get more time to know each other, you two will soon be sister and brother in laws" his voice wavered as he said this. She turned and glanced at the smiling steel.

His smile made her sick! How could a person look like a angel yet be so twisted.

~flash back over~

She was brought out of her thought's when bankoutsu stirred in his sleep. She smiled and decided to forget the past for now and think only of the present. Her eye's met with the childlike innocent eye's of bankoutsu.

" how long was I asleep" he mumbled, "for awhile but not to long" she replied. They slowly got up and she walked to a bookshelf and took out a old dusty book titled " the way of the samurai".
