A/N: Ok Ok, so you can all start yelling at me for a long delay with this ... I was totally out of ideas, not to mention Chemistry notes being crammed into my head pretty much knocked everything else out. O_o Well, since no one wants to hear about my boring life (gimme a break, I'm still in school :P) here's the next chapter!! ^__^

Reviews left afterwards would be greatly appreciated!! ;)

Chapter 6: Fire Fears

The two would've remained in a moment of bliss staring in awe at the aqua beauty - never had either seen something more beautiful - had it not been for the sudden scratching against the door. Six orbs shot towards the door, nothing _human_ would be clawing at the door like that. Ryu backed against the wall whimpering like a dog, We're gonna die!! Ignoring his childish remarks Haruka turned on the woman, What the hell is after you!? The aqua woman began rattling out words in a language foreign to the blonde, she spoke it so quickly and so eloquently it didn't even sound like a tongue of this Earth. Four nails suddenly ripped through the wooden door, tugging fiercely as the hinges rattled shakily.

He grumbled and led the beautiful woman down the fire escape, continuously looking up to see if Haruka was out yet. Looking down on the rocky road for a moment as he lowered the ladder, something grand exploded from the blonde's room. The woman gasped as fireballs of debris began showering down on them; Ryu pushed her against the wall and covered her with his body. He glanced up shortly after,
