Chapter 7

OK my last chapter was sadly short I was so displeased with myself that this chapter will be so much better I hope. And I hope you are all happier that Leeuna is ok and is in better health right now shown in the last chapter. But who know what will happen in this chapter ^.^. But whatever happens don't hurt me (shields head with arms)

(3 Weeks later)

Dilandau walked towards the medical tent like he had been for the past while everyday at the same time. He walked into the tent to visit Leeuna but when he got to her bed she wasn't there.

"What?!? Where is she??" he franticly looked around but she was nowhere in sight. He ran out of the tent to find her. 'Where could she have gone' Dilandau thought to himself as he looked around for her. He walked around the corner quickly and looked around the clearing. Out of the corner of his eye he spotted something move through the bushes so he quickly ran after the person. Once he had caught up he found himself in another clearing. And sitting by the small pond on a rock was Leeuna dressed in her light brown pants that fit on her loosely and her short cream shirt and clean white bandages still were wrapped around her stomach to help heal her wound.

"What are you doing out of bed?" he asked quietly as the wind blew strands of his sliver hair over his blood red eyes. Leeuna sat on the rock and turned to look at him, her light blue hair blew in the wind, over the weeks it had grown longer and now reached to her waist. Her ice blue eyes stared tiredly back at him meeting his own red eyes.

" I was tired of being stuck in my room all the time…so I left the room… and it seemed like such a nice day." She spoke softly then turned back and looked at the pond. Dilandau felt badly for her she had been left in the medical tent for three weeks now anyone would want to get out. He walked slowly up behind her and just stood behind her not saying anything. Leeuna tail was curled up behind her and her wings were spread out to be stretched as she sat calmly on her rock. Dilandau put his gloved hands on her shoulders as he stood behind her

"Are you sure you are up to being outside… and plus by yourself?" he asked.

"I feel ok Dilandau…I guess…. And I may be injured but I can take care of myself." She sighed and turned and looked up at him. Her eyes seemed so sad; her eyes were like deep pools of water that seemed never ending. He bend down and kissed her softly and cupped his hands around her face. Leeuna stood up and put her hands on his chest as they kept up the passionate kiss. Dilandau put his hands on her shoulders again and pulled her into him. Dilandau could feel Leeunas bottom lip quiver and he felt her wince under his grasp so he pulled away from her and saw she had tears in her eyes. Dilandau shocked and looked down and saw the hilt of his sword had rubbed against her wound. Without saying anything he took off his sword belt and it landed on the grass with a thud and pulled her into an embrace. He could feel her shiver in pain in his arms

"I am so sorry Leeuna" he sighed sadly. Leeuna just stood there and leaned up against him and stared off into space trying to ignore the pain that shot through her in painful pulses. Dilandau ran his hand through her hair hoping to calm her down because he could feel her heart beat up against him.

"I'm so weak… I don't understand why you are with me…" she spoke quietly. Dilandau stared down at her in disbelief he didn't understand why she said that.

"Your not weak Leeuna…if I thought you where weak you would have never became a dragon slayer… and you wouldn't have lived after a fight with Van." he rubbed her back trying to calm her down more still. Dilandau had no clue why she came up with things like this out of the blue.

"Maybe I should take you back to the medical tent for some rest…." He looked down at her.

"Can't we stay out here… its so nice and peaceful out here…" Leeuna sighed softly.

"Fine… as long as you will sit down," he sighed as Leeuna nodded. Dilandau picked up his sword and they walked over to the nearest tree and sat down. Dilandau sat down and leaned up against the tree and Leeuna sat in his lap and leaned against his chest tiredly. Dilandau wrapped his arms around her protectively as they leaned against the tree.

"Dilandau can we do this more often?" Leeuna asked. Dilandau smiled and looked down at her, her eyes were closed and calm.

"Yes… I think we shall do this more often" he sighed and closed his own eyes. The warm breeze whirled around them blowing the green leaves all around them. On leaf fell onto the clear pond causing it to ripple and wave out until the rings disappeared completely.

In the darkness of the forest inside a bush two eyes watched the two sitting at the base of the tree. Dilandau was disarmed for his sword was clearly displayed an arms length away from him. Also the Dragon girl was clearly not well enough to be able to fight back. This gave the person an idea.

"Hmmmm this would be the Perfect time to get them… but should I risk to go now?" the person murmured. The person watched as the two sat at the tree holding each other as the wind blew around them making their hair fly around. They seemed so content and… peaceful but what did he know. He knew Dilandau was a crazy bloodthirsty tyrant but when you looked at him right now he seemed like a normal boy with his loved one. But a boy like that could never be able to love someone with such grace and poise. But also if you think about it they were such a mix match pair. One was a majestic dragon girl that was usually just a myth among people but then there was the dragon slayer one who slays dragons. The man paused and thought on what he should do. He then deiced in what he was going to do. He nodded to reassure himself and sighed and pulled out his bow.

" I am sorry to break up this little scene but it must be done" he pulled out one of his arrows and got ready.

Dilandau sat with his arms wrapped around Leeuna with his eyes still closed. Everything seemed to be perfect. Dilandau started to doze off when he heard one of the bushes move. He quickly stood up leaving Leeuna on the ground waking her up.

"Dilandau … what's wrong?" Leeuna looked up from the ground then slowly got up. Dilandau walked from behind her and stood in front of her looking around. He stood there and listened to see if he heard anything else. 'Must have been an stupid squirrel' he thought.

"It was nothing… don't worry…" he turned back around and saw she was standing up behind him. Dilandau walked up to her and put his hands on her waist

"We should go back you need to rest," he told her. Leeuna shook her head softly

"I want to stay out here… anyways if we go back you will have to go off and do something… and I want you all to myself" she smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Alright" he smirked and leaned in and kissed her softly as he slipped his tongue into her mouth. Leeuna moved in closer into him and returned the same thing. Dilandau put a hand behind her back and slowly leaned her down to the grassy ground. Leeuna kept her arms wrapped around his neck as Dilandau leaned her into the grass and lightly placed himself over her. Dilandau took off his heavy armor jacket and put it on the ground so all he had for a shirt was a light white lose shirt. Then there is another rustle in the bushes but this time Leeuna heard it. She pulled away from the kiss taking in deep breaths and rested her chin on his shoulder and looked towards the bushes.

"What's the matter Leeuna?" he asked her. He could feel her chest go up and down from breathing then he felt her hold her breath for a second and her body tense up.

"Leeuna what's wrong?" he asked again getting worried.

"Its nothing Dilandau… I just thought I heard something… but I guess I was wrong because it's gone now…" Leeuna sighed softly. Leeuna looked back at Dilandau and smiled and kissed him again putting her hands on his chest. Dilandau heard something else a clicking sound but with his back to the bushes he couldn't turn quick enough to see what it was. Then before he could react an arrow went by his shoulder giving him a deep gash.

"GAH!" he sat up quickly and put his gloved hand on his arm and quickly stood up.

"What happened?" Leeuna asked and sat up and looked at him. Dilandau looked around to see if he could see who shot the arrow. Then there was another clicking noise and another arrow just grazed his arm and went into the tree just by Leeunas head.

"What the?!?" Leeuna gasped and look at the arrow. Dilandau winced and looked around to try and find the shooter

"Come out you coward!!" he yelled as he held his arm. Leeuna stood up and stood by the tree and looked around. Then the bushes behind Leeuna rustled loudly

"Leeuna stay away from the bushes" He had his back to her as he looked around the clearing. He heard another rustle just in front of him and was about to run up to where he heard it but stopped when he heard a muffled scream. Dilandau turned around to see a person standing behind him with one hand over Leeuna mouth and the other with and arms around her.

"Leeuna!!" Dilandau took a step towards her.

"One more step and I will kill her" the man had a dagger him his one hand that was around Leeunas middle. The Person was wearing a gray cloak with the hood up so you couldn't he his face. Dilandau stopped in his tracks and looked at the person then at Leeuna and took another step forward. The cloaked person squeezed Leeunas stomach tightly, which made Leeuna scream out in pain. Dilandau stopped right away

"No… stop…" he said as he saw tears of pain slip from Leeuna eyes. The hooded person loosed his grip on Leeuna.

"What do you want with her?" Dilandau demanded angrily.

"That is none of your concern…" the person smirked. Then another arrow came flying out of the bushes behind Dilandau hitting him right in the shoulder.

"GAH!!" Dilandau winced and fell to one knee he could feel the pain surge though him in sharp strings of pulses. There was something else Dilandau started to get sleepy and his vision started to blur. He looked up and saw the panicked look on Leeunas face.

"Good job Yoko you did well…" Said the hooded person.

"Thank you sir…" said a woman but before he could see who it was Dilandau blacked out and fell to the ground.
