A/N: I'm sorry it took so long and the chapter ends up being so short; I'm making a Christmas chapter in here (that was unexpected) next, so I'll have to put my Digimon fanfic aside for now.

Thanks to my good friend, Aidan, and my kawaii lil' (okay, well, he's not as little as he was two years ago…) Q-Chan, both of them made complaints about the spelling and grammar errors. Thanks for telling me; I'll try to be more cautious about it. And if you don't understand the story, please tell me, and I'll explain it, or you can just be stubborn and not ask me about it, and you can make up your own explanation if you want to spice things up a bit. This chapter will have some Harry…oops! I mean, Thomas bashing in here, and Reese is up to no good. Hee hee... Oh, and Q-Chan, please remember this…you're the only one who knows what the ending is going to be, so don't even THINK about telling anyone the ending! It would spoil it! And especially don't tell Aidan! Even if he bugs you for a million years! He'll have to wait! Okay, I think I got that settled…No, Aidan, you can't ask me. Oh, and to answer your question as to why it's rated PG-13, well, let's see…adult matters (But not so much that it becomes a rated R story) (see chapter 5), um…cursing words (scroll down!), and like it says, it's an angst story, so little kids around 10 or below wouldn't even be able to handle the pressure of this story! I know you and Q-Chan probably couldn't handle it. And I'm so sorry for the long author's note, but I need to add one last thing. HealerAriel, I don't think you understand. Raven said Reese has put him under bondage, but before they mated even when they already broke up. If you kinda see it my way, Reese forced him to do it. You know her Zoidian powers. If she's able to make him see his past and manipulate people, hey, she's sure as hell to do it on Raven once more. Does this clear anything up yet? Any questions will be answered when put in reviews.

         Maru woke up pretty early. She smiled as she went to the kitchen part and found Raven asleep on the couch. How cute…! Yes, she thought the sight was cute indeed, but it would be considered funny and should be caught on a video tape recording called, "Raven's most hilarious moments on videotape!" to other people.

         Reese, however, was hiding in the shadows, snickering. She made sure there wasn't any food stored in the pantry.

         Maru gasped. "Uh-oh! There's no more food!" She thought for a moment, and then put her hands together. "I know! I should ask Fiona!" She ran out of the room, and headed to wherever Fiona and Van were.

         Reese walked over to Raven and kneeled down. "Raven…" she whispered in his ear. "Wake up, honey."

         Raven slowly opened her eyes. "Huh?" His eyes opened real wide when he saw Reese in the room, right in front of his face. "Why the fuck are you here?"

         Reese giggled. "Oh, silly, don't you know I'm with you form now on? Remember yesterday?" She made sure that last sentence was seductive.

         Raven stood up, and just turned his head the other way. "No, I've seemed to have forgotten. Whatever could you mean by that?"

         Reese, too stood up, and had her arms wrapped around his neck. Her head leaned forward towards his ear and said in a low voice, "Those wonderful few hours we had together? Hmm?" She then started to kiss him on the lips, then made them crawl lower to his neck.

         Raven liked this feeling, but he had to let it go. He pushed her away. "Look, I already told you, no, I won't be held under you!"

         Reese pouted. "So you'd take this simple, plain, orphaned ancient Zoidian over me?"

         "Read my lips one more time before I kick you out, Reese. I will no longer be held under you, and I love Maru! Too bad if you have any problems, speak now or forever hold your peace, and be kicked out of here."

         "Why do you love Maru? What's she got that I don't?" Reese complained like a baby.

         "Beauty, charm, cute personality, pure, kind, takes things slowly, forgiving, and she makes me happy." (A/N: Yeah, like I have any of those qualities…pffft.)

         Reese frowned. "So, like I have any of those?"

         "Let me think about it….uh…no!"

         Reese was much more than steamed! "Oh, really? Well, we'll see about that! I'll be sure that Maru dies and you suffer, like I said before!" and then she disappeared.

         Raven kicked the couch he was sleeping on, but he kicked it so hard, it fell over the other way. "Grr…shit!"

         Maru then came in. "Something wrong, Raven?"

         Raven just stared and stared at her. She's not aware of it? I thought Zoidians were supposed to know this. Should I tell her? "W-will you b-be gone soon?" He chocked on his words.

         Maru smiled. "I hope not! Now, I got some eggs and rice form Fiona. So why don't you freshen up so we can eat breakfast?" She then hopped onto her cooking.

         Raven frowned. Did Reese really mean what she said? Was she really going to die?

         Later that day, Raven decided to spy on her a bit while she went out to walk around town with Fiona, Van, and Thomas. They were laughing and talking and discussing a way to repair for the damage Maru had made when she detonated and almost totaled the Zoids.

         "Hey, Van," Fiona asked. "Where could Irvine and Moonbay be? I haven't seen them since they started to argue over something ridiculous a few days ago."

         Van had his head resting on his hands, which were intertwined with each other on the back of his head (Like Duo Maxwell from Gundam Wing, and Ash Ketchum from Pokémon.). "How am I to know?"

         Just then they heard some clashing of pots, pans, and barrels from fruit coming from behind them. Van and the others turned around.

         Raven, however, was watching from the rooftop. "No, Maru, don't keep going forward in the path you were in, Reese has made a trap!" he said to himself.

         "Yah!" a woman yelled in fury. She had a hammer twice the size of her, four braids, a tanned skin, and a yellow outfit. She was chasing a taller man who was quite muscular, had a gray shirt but with only on strap on his right shoulder (am I right?), and an eye patch. He was screaming his head off, yelling, "Get this mad woman away from me!!!"

         Van and the others just sweatdropped. Van fell Animé style. "Aiigh! They're still at it?"

Thomas sighed. "A few days and they're still chasing each other. How typical. What do you think, Miss Fiona?"

Maru, however, grabbed and pinched his cheek real hard. "Don't even think about flirting with her. You know she'll never become yours so just lay the act off. You do remember a time where Fiona lost her innocence, right?" She smirked. "So don't even try. She's Van's now." Once she let go of his cheek, and would you look at that! The cheek that was pinched was bulging from all that stretching, and not to mention it was also tomato red.

Moonbay and Irvine were running in circles around the four people, then ran ahead.

Raven had his eyes wide in fear. "No, don't!-"

Too late. Raven shut his eyes right before they fell in. He opened them again to see Moonbay hanging off the side, screaming her head off, Irvine clinging on her leg.

         He slapped his forehead, then nodded it back and forth. "Damn, if they fall, it's over for them." He looked at Shadow, who looked a little more angry than usual. He growled. "I know, I know, Shadow," Raven responded, "You don't like them, but do it for Maru, please?"

         Shadow just looked the other direction.

         Raven pulled out some kind of food. "Hey, I know you like these. I'll give them to you if you save them and drop them in front of the four people down there." He looked down to see Fiona worried, Thomas sweatdropping, Van laughing at the couple, and Maru just crossing her arms.

         "That's what you get when you guys get into an argument. I've seen cases like those between Thomas and Van, but you guys just took the whole cake," He heard Maru.

         Shadow looked at Raven and growled some more.

         "Deal! But you gotta fetch them on your way!" Raven said as he took two bags of Shadow's favorite treats and threw them down towards Moonbay and Irvine's hole. Shadow skillfully caught them in his mouth, then swooped down even further and faster, caught Irvine and Moonbay with his hands, and literally dropped them in front of the other four and flew away, back to where Raven was.

         "Um…okay, I didn't mean for you to literally drop them, but that'll do fine," Raven told his Organoid, looking back at him just to see his crazy, hyper little face, when he finally gets his hands on his favorite treats- the one he hasn't eaten for who knows how long?

         Reese, seeing the whole entire thing, was mad.

         She later placed other traps in which the group of now six was en route and heading towards them.

         Fortunately, Raven was on the prowl.

         Maru saw a papaya hanging down some string. She looked up to see Raven holding a sign, saying, "Reese is here to kill you with some traps- care to let Thomas take the fall?"

         Maru nodded her head and giggled, saying, "Hey Thomas, Van, look what I've got! Papaya on a string! The first one to get it gets the whole papaya! And look at the size! So large! Nope, you can't find it anywhere here or in most of this area anyway, so what are you waiting for?"

         Thomas and Van grinned, but then glared when they saw each other.

         "Ready, set…go get the papaya already!"

         Van and Thomas ran as fast as they could. Thomas was planning to get the papaya and share some with Fiona, but unfortunately, he had no clue of what foods Fiona liked whatsoever.

         Van, however, was planning to get, it, share it with Fiona, and give her some packets of salt.

         Van and Thomas were still next to each other when they were running, however, just as he was about to take it, Maru 'innocently' stuck a foot out, and let Van fall, letting Thomas take the papaya.

         Thomas jumped up and down. "Yes! I got the papaya!" He hugged it, and a whole appeared under him. He grabbed onto the papaya string, but since Raven was the one holding it, he reluctantly let go of it, and Thomas fell into the hole filled with water. Thomas said, "Phew!" thinking he was safe, but too bad he didn't feel the alligator under him…

         The three were walking already, but paused and turned around when Thomas jumped up screaming his head up. "Oh, shit!!! Owowowowowowowowow~! Fiona! Van! Maru! Help me!!!" He jump so high he went on safe ground, but the alligator jumped up as well, chasing him once more, this time, ahead of he groups and farther into the village.

         Reese, however, was making many more traps.

         Maru, accidentally spoiling it all, yawned. "Geez, I'm tired already? I'll just get some sleep. See ya, guys." And she walked towards the hotel.

         As Maru snuggled into bed, Reese came up to her quietly. She put her hand over her face. Maru then started twisting and turning around in her bed.

         "You will die, you know it, Maru."

         "Reese? What the hell are you talking about?"

         "You will see the end within just a year or two."

         "Y-You're lying! It's all lies! Nothing but bullshit! Shut up, Reese!"

         "Oh, but I'm not lying. Some of your friends can really be your enemies."

         "Liar!"

         "Nope, it's all true. Just as true when Raven and I-"

         "Don't' speak anymore! Did you really…? Was it really true? Does he love you?"

         "He loves me, that's why we've mated so many times."

         "*gasp* No, but he said he loves me… could it mean that…? No, Raven said he love me and he means it!"

         "Don't be so sure about it, Maru. Ancient Zoidians have special abilities. Think and see your future…"

         Maru closed her eyes. She saw a shady figure, but she didn't know who it was. He grabbed her by the waist and kissed her. It felt more lovingly than the last time Raven kissed her, yet at the same time, it felt like Raven. She felt warm now.

         Maru was confused. Was it him or not?

         The next thing she knew, she was in front of a giant Zoid. The Zoid's guns and cannons aimed for her. It fired many, many beams of light and bullets at her. As she was taking her last breath, through all the blood that was seeping out of so many places of her body, she heard a voice scream. "Fiona…" she whispered.

         Maru then sat up quickly. She was panting and sweat was all over her head. The girl wiped her forehead. No blood. Just sweat. She then looked around the room and whispered, "Reese, whatever you're planning to do to me, whether it's to kill me or torture me, it won't happen. Trust me."
