Hey, what chappie is this, the fifth? great! I need to get started on my other stories! Heheheh, I have the talent of multi task but can't do it very well * puts a hat on, hiding her eyes shyly * Any way, heres the chappie!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~

Anathros rubbed her head, a messed up her hair as she did so. Her vision cleared as conciousness returned, she could make out D sitting in the corner of the room, he must have gotten a room at an inn when they reached town. She smiled at him sweetly, then quickly wrapped the sheets around her numb, naked body, the air was extremely chilly. When she realized she was naked she gave him a quizical look, he just shook his head.

"You didn't then..." she drifted off into space, she wasn't real sure of what she wanted to say, "can you, umm, leave so I can get dressed?" She flustered at the cheeks. He got up in silence and shut the door behind him, sending a shiver down her spine.

She dug through her bag and pulled some loose clothing on, as cold as she was the thick cotten warmed her pale skin. She made her way down stairs, D in the corner, as usual. She went up to the bartender who was cleaning a glass, the place was pretty empty, except for the few weary travelers.

The bar tender looked at her with a lazy eye, she managed to stammer, "Yeah, umm, hi, can I just have some cream of wheat?" ( if you have never had that I suggest you get some, and sweeten it with milk and honey, its delicious! ) The Bar tender spun around and got a warm bowl, spun back around and slid the bowl to her, then stuck a some what grimmy spoon in it. She smiled innocently as a thank you.

As she finished her food Nekoko came down, fully dressed, but still looking sleepy. "I take it you didn't sleep all to well, worried about something?" Anathros taesed her, but didn't achieve at it all to well, she was tired herself, and had hit dead end her her thoughts, she lost herself, didn't know what to do next. She just played with a toothpick, tapping it on the counter and twirling it in her fingers.

Nekoko snapped softly to get her attention and pointed to the door, asking if she wanted to leave, "Nah, I'd rather sit in the chair for the next millenia and rot to death, good plan huh?" Anathros snapped the toothpick in two, she got up abruptly, shoving hte bar stool into the bar with a crash and made her way groggily back up stairs. She slammed the door and slumped her tired body on the bed ( you ever feel like that, you just want to give up? Man, it's the story of my life... ). There she slept or just laid there for three days straight.

~~~~~~~~~~

Nekoko came in and shook her awake, Anathros groaned and turned over, "Lea' me alone, I just want to sleep, I'm tired," she pulled the blankets over her head. Nekoko pulled the covers off abruptly and yanked her off the bed, Anathros crashing to the ground, "Damn you! What's your problem?" Anathros pushed her harshly, and shoved her out of the room. She sat back on the bed crossed her legs and arms and staired at the door in anger.

Nekoko burts in and slapped Anathros across the face, "God damn it! The locals are getting paranoid because D wont leave unless you are ok, you haven't been doing a very good job at that now have you? D is getting edgey and if you stay up her in a slump he's goin' to loose it with the locals and the locals will pay the price, I don't know why you would care though! Let's go, now, that damned parasite of his is driving me, D, and the stupid bartender crazy. Hell only knows what I'll do next if that parasite makes another remark about my ass!" She stood above Anathros, huffing and puffing, on the verge of tears.

Anathros staired at her in astonishment, she never spoke before, it was crazy. She shook her head, simply got up, put her armor on and packed her things, "You know, I was just about over it until you came up here? Why is D waiting for me any way? C'mon, you wanted to leave then let's leave," she walked out the door, obviously not expecting an answer. Nekoko stood there a few minutes, then came out of her blur, got her thing, and went down stairs.

~~~~~~~~~~

Anathros sat infront of D, arms crossed, "Well?"

"He's a nice guy what do you expect, not a good lookin' one but a nice gu..." the parasite was shut up by the clenching of D's fingers. Anathros quirked a smile.

"Guess I'll be leaving since you're ok," he got up, swung the sword over his back and headed for the door.

Nekoko took her rightful spot beside Anathros, "Well, guess we be off then too..." Anathros got up and headed for the stalls, got her cyborg horse and headed out, as she saw D heading in another direction she shouted, "Adios guapo caballero!" she waved teasingly. She couldn't see but a smile graced the dunpeal's face, and what's that, maybe a little blush?

~~~~~~~~~~
Anathros rocked back and forth on the horses back. As if nothing had happened Nekoko spoke up, "You know he likes you?"

"You think just because every once and a while you say something it's important? Yeah, he's doesn't have to worry like a school boy about me..." Anathros let a pink blush creep to her face, she dug her heel into the horses side, camanding it go faster.
