~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chapter 2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jim walked over to her and put his hands gently on her scared
arms. A smile on his face like nothing else mattered to him, he
wanted to kiss her and take her to the Outlaw Star and it would
all
be over. 'but? but what?' these thoughts race threw his head as
he waits for her to speak.
"JIM! Why do I have to love you so much!" She screamed, jerking
her arms away from him. She started to cry silently. "I was
raised to kill. Now I'm suppost to kill Gene but you work for
him and all I want to do is go away with you and...." She
colapsed onto Jim in tears. She took fistfuls of his shirt, holding on to him for all she's worth.
Jim thinks 'come on brain work. wait a minute what if...' Jim's
smile returned "Have you told the rest of the 7 assasions? Well,
the ones that are left. Do they know your alive? If they don't
and they think your dead then you can stay with me,"
She stares at him threw blurred eyes. She sniffs, wiping them
away quickly. "I think only one is left thanks to you." Jim
can't quite desearn how she felt about that. She didn't sound angry,
maybe a little hurt. Relief? It was lost on him. "It, it might
work. But what if it doesn't work?" 'I don't want anything to
happen to you!'
"What if it dosn't work? Now you sound like me" he smiles "If it
dosn't work then me and Gene will take care of whoever is after
you. We wont let anything happen to you"
"Are you sure Gene will want me around? I mean, I did try and
kill him and all. He might not trust me." She pointed out with
a crinkle of her nose. Even so, she reached forward, taking one
of Jim's hands and stepping towards the hanger the XGP was most
likely in.
Jim smiled at her "you have a point" he thinks 'she's so butiful even with the scars.' they starte to walk to the hanger their
fingers laced. unconsiously she snuggled closer to him and laid
her head on his shoulder. Jim smiled at the touch of her soft
skin. It felt like silk even with the many scars it made Jim
wonder how she survived.
Hanmyo stopped suddenly, looking at something. Jim looked over
at her, completely surprised as she grabbed his wrist. "What is
this?" Her finger traced over the thin, raw scar on his wrist.
Jim looked away as her brown eyes peirced threw him.
Jim kept his eyes off her. and took his hand away from her not
wanting to tell her about his suicide attempt. "its nothing" he
said quickly. he rubed the scar remebering that night, he had missed
her so much, now she's back with him.
Her eyes narrow but she lets it slide. Everyone had a right to
their own thoughts. She stops a few meters away from the hanger
entrance. "No, no, no,no.." She takes a few steps backwords.
"This isn't a good idea, I should leave."
Jim looked tottaly shocked he puts his hands on her shoulders
from behind her as she looks at the hanger. "no, no," she murmer above
a whisper. "Why? everything is going to be alright."
Her great luminous eyes turned on him. They seemed to be dancing
from side to side before she gave a nervous laugh. "Odd isn't
it? I can kill no problem. Got over a hundred notches in my belt. I
can't seem to get on the ship though. I mean, I don't want
anything to go wrong for you Jim."
Jim looks into her eyes and puts his hand in hers "I've feed a
Catrl-catrl I can handle anything" he squeses her hand gently for
reasurence. A smile flickers threw her eyes and the corners of
her mouth turn up.
"Jim, what the heck is this thing suposed to do?" Gene yelled
across the hanger. He held up a rather important part of the
ship. Jim looked up from Hanmyo with a groan. Gene was about to say
something else but he spotted Hanmyo. "Man, you've got to tell
me wear you hang out! Every time we go to hayfong you find a
chick."
Hanmyo looks at jim "What chicks?" Jim jumps to the engine and
shouts at her "Each time it was you" he says while taking the
part from Gene "Without this the Outlaw star blows up when you turn
it on idiot!" he puts it in its place and tightens it with a rench
as Hanmyo walks towards the ship.
"Hello Gene Starwind." She says slowly. She offers a scarred
hand. A token of peace but her eyes dance around the room unable
to rest for long in one place. "I am Hanmyo." Gene looks at her
scared hand for a long moment. She starts to draw it back self
conciously before Gene took it in his own.
Jim looked at her after closing the consol. "Gene Hanmyo is going
to stay with us for a while if you don't mind," Jim says happily.
"What?! We barley have enough room as it is!" Gene shouts making
Hanmyo start to walk back. "You have 3 room dedictared to 3
different kinds of pool... we have enough room," Gene says and
offers his hand to his love.
Gene stares stupidly. "Um Jim, I hate to be the barer of bad news,
but I thought she died!?" Jim sighed a little. 'And we were so
close to having him not notice.' Hanmyo looked a little annoyed.
"People, I'M NOT DEAD!"
"I know you arn't. we thought you were," Jim says sadly and his
finger traced the scar on his wrist. A tear coming to his eye as he
remebers that night. "Yea it effected all of us some more then
others," Gene says remebering seehing him with his wrist slit open.
Hanmyon nods the curiostiy eating at her about what happened to give
him the scar.
"Jim, what did happen?" She leans back a little crossing her hands over her chest. Dispite the cool exterior Jim could see the curiosity eating away at her from the inside. Her eyes held general concern and he was compeled to tell her.
"I-I-I.." He stops, drawing in a deep shaking breath. Gene stepped back softly leaving the scean. Hanmyo in a rare moment of affection reached forward and took his arm to look at the scarr then up at his face. "I missed you so much Hanmyo. I thought I would never see you again. I, I tried to take my own life."
Jim walked over to her and put his hands gently on her scared
arms. A smile on his face like nothing else mattered to him, he
wanted to kiss her and take her to the Outlaw Star and it would

be over. 'but? but what?' these thoughts race threw his head as
