They stared at each other in stunned silence for a minute, before Duo smiled and blushed at his forwardness, looking away. Hilde just smiled and brushed the hair out of his eyes.
"That's the best surprise I think I've gotten in a while. Thanks Duo." Hilde said, smiling to herself.
Duo laughed and hugged her tightly. "It's getting pretty late babe. Lets get out of town and make camp. I don't think either of us has enough money to get a hotel." They walked through town a while, holding hands, before suddenly Duo stopped and looked around.
"What's wrong?" Hilde asked, confused why he stopped before being shushed by Duo.
He continued to look around, but eventually began walking again. "Nothing...I just...thought I heard something. Don't worry about it."
They walked a few yards before Duo abruptly stopped and whirled around, pulling out his sword and throwing it into a nearby alley. A nasty slicing sound was heard, and then a surprised scream. Duo turned to Hilde.
"Stalkers. Lets get outta here babe." He said before running into the alley, past 3 men, all with guns and other weapons. Duo pulled his sword out of the 4th man and the wall which he was stuck to and ran back out of the alley using his vampire powers, grabbing Hilde's hand as he ran past. The two ran until they were out of the city, then stopped and sat on the side of the road, both panting for breath.
When they caught their breath, Hilde looked over at Duo. "Duo, who were those guys? Why'd you have to kill one of them?"
Duo smiled a little at Hilde's ignorance. "The question would be WHAT were they Hilde. Stalkers are Demons that look like humans. They can walk around the human world and no one would think twice of them, so their used to assassinate people. That's why they are called stalkers. And I killed one because he was after me...I think." He looked over at her. "That answer your question?"
Hilde just frowned. "How do you know all this stuff Duo? I mean I know your a vampire but you haven't been one that long..." She trailed off, waiting for an answer.
Duo just sighed. "You'd be surprised how fast you learn things when your what I am." He said, laughing a little.
After they had for a few hours, they came to a crossroad and a sign. One way was to Drakken, the other to Hilde's town, Togashi. Duo turned to Hilde, who was walking next to him and staring at the road in thought.
"So...I guess...the only thing left to do is to bring you back to your town right?" Duo asked her.
THAT got her attention. She stopped walking and looked over at him.
"What?! Why?? Why do I have to go back? Why are you making me??" She blurted out at once, a look of fear and alarm on her face, which surprised Duo.
"Wha...babe what's wrong? I didn't say I was making you and I didn't say you had to go back..." He put his hands on her shoulders and looked into her eyes. "What are you so afraid of? Even a human could smell your fear a mile away. Don't lie to me...please? I told you my story and I think its time you told me yours." He pleaded.
Hilde looked down and nodded. "I guess your right." She sighed and opened her mouth, but was interrupted by a man running up to them and yelling.
"HILDIGUARD ROSE SHIBEIKER! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!"
Hilde turned white and made a small eep sound. She hid behind Duo. "Duo please...please don't let him near me. He'll hit me. He'll hurt me. Don't let him near me." She pleaded and whimpered.
Duo stepped forward as the man approached them. "Who are you and what do you want with Hilde?" Duo asked in a commanding tone of voice. The man just laughed.
"I'm here for Hilde and I'm her father." The man said, returning the glare that Duo was giving him.
Duo looked down at Hilde, then to her father, then back to Hilde, then back to her father. Yes, there was defiantly a resemblance. He frowned. "Why are you so mad at her? What did she do?"
"Hilde" He pointed an accusing finger at Hilde. "Ran away from home!"
Hilde shrunk farther behind Duo. "You used to hit me! What should I have done?"
"SILENCE!" The man ran around Duo and raised his hand up to hit Hilde, but was stopped when a sword and its hilt crashed down on the man, knocking him unconscious. Duo put his sword back on his back and looked at Hilde.
"You shoulda told me. I wouldn't have stopped here. I..." He stopped talking when a tear slid down Hilde's cheek.
"D..Duo...please don't be mad at me....like everyone else I know. Everyone else I know abandoned me because I was too afraid to do anything because of my father. Please...please don't be mad..."
Duo put his arms around Hilde and kissed her forehead. "Shhh...I'm not mad. Don't cry. Please. I'm sorry for yelling." He brushed the tears away from her cheeks.
Hilde sniffed. "D..Duo...don't leave me here. Please, don't abandon me. Not here." She begged.
Duo looked at her for a few moments, then sighed and nodded.
"Neither of us might come out alive Hilde. You know that right?" He asked seriously.
Hilde nodded, and they began the long road to Drakken. Well, maybe hell wouldn't be such a bad place if they were together........

~authors note~ OMG GUYS I'M SO SORRY! I'm not dead I SWEAR! lol oh btw I know the Hilde's dad thing is kinda mean, if it offended anyone I'm sorry. This chapter is 100% completely and totally undeniably dedicated to Jason. This chapter as well as about 99% of the story wouldn't be here without his support. Anyone who likes this story should give him a thanks, because if it wasn't for him this would be deleted many times, such as last night if it wasn't for him. Look up Jason Ray on here if you want to give him a thanks! Ja ni!
