Okay, I said after 140 and I'll hold true to that. I'd like to give a very special acknowledgement to a certain reviewer who went crazy and reviewed a bajillion times.

As for the rest of you, won't you please review? I'm not a horrible person am I? Don't answer that, or if you feel you must then answer it in a review…yes…excellent…

The Insanity One Can Cause II

"I hope you can adequately explain why I had to continue without my best 'slayer for a week and a half," the silver-haired commander demanded, a dark fire burning in his garnet eyes. Eryn searched her memory for the name of the man that stood before her. The last time she had seen had been seven years ago and he had been the leader of the group Miguel had been a part of. She knew his name started with a 'D', but other than that she wasn't sure.

"I was severely injured…sir," she replied, remembering at the last minute to add on a properly subservient address. Should she let him know that she wasn't this Dragonslayer Eryn person that he obviously thought her to be? She could tell him that she merely had amnesia and then slip away when the real Dragonslayer Eryn came.

"And you didn't think to even send word?" She cut a glance to right hand and found it flexing ominously. She had been on the receiving end of his slaps once and it hadn't been pleasant. Of course she had slapped back and the whole thing had escalated until he had drawn a sword and she had run away. She wondered if he remembered that.

His eyes traveled up and down her body with unnerving intimacy. She felt a shot blush flare up in her cheeks. She didn't know what was going one, but he seemed to know her…in a very different manner.

"I…" The rest ended in a rather muffled sort of shriek. He had crossed the distance between them and delivered a smoldering kiss. She continued to squeal and shriek against his mouth, while admitting he knew his way around a kiss. One hand gripped her hair and forced her to remain somewhat stationary, the other had found its way under her loose shirt.

In the back of her mind she could hear herself talking about the whole situation with the vivacity of a director. "Man grabs woman and shuts her up with kiss. Man renders woman incoherent with kisses and caresses. Next scene, the bed." That brought her straight back to reality and into the realization that the next scene had been reached.

She landed on the bed and he followed. In her short time as an actress she had been involved in some pretty steamy scenes, but that's all they had been. And they certainly hadn't been with a silver-haired man who drew swords on helpless girls who had the misfortune to walk in on him while he was changing years ago.

Squeaking and whimpering incoherently, she tried to scramble off the bed like a frightened ten-year old at the movie Aliens. Unfortunately, he had a firm grip about her waist and her hair.

"What the hell is wrong?" he demanded hotly, finally getting the message that she wasn't going to cooperate.

"What's wrong?" she shrieked flailing against him. "You walk into my room without a hello and maul me. That's what's wrong." He gave her a cold look, the grip on her hair tightening till she had a hard time keeping from crying out in pain.

"I don't maul and you certainly never complained before." Her eyebrows shot up to her hairline and she gapped at him.

"Be...before?"

"In fact you were the one who approached me first. Now you've changed your mind?"

"Are we talking about the same person here? Because I certainly don't remember approaching you about anything and sure as hell wouldn't anyway." His glare became even more dangerous and she felt the beginning tingle of pure terror. "No offense, sir."

"Fine. Report to the 'melef hanger tomorrow evening. Training in the morning until then." He pushed away and stalked from the room. She remained where she was and breathed.

"That was…odd."

What's going on? I have no clue! But I felt obligated to add some Dilly kissing. Not very explicit because I don't do that. Won't the rest of you review? I'm so sad.
