Guild barracks, in the room Ryu and Bow shared :
"You know Ryu, what you did back in the guild hall was crazy. Don`t you?"
"Yeah well. Pietro should`ve known better shouldn`t he?" Ryu answered bow.
Ryu sat down on his bunk and checked his swords were properly in their sheaths. Bow sat on his bunk and cleaned his crossbow and bolts.
"Ryu," Bow asked cautiously "What did you think of the Windian princess?"
Ryu had unbuckled his armour and was polishing his shield. "She looked okay I suppose. But, I thought you had something going on with the guild receptionist, Silvia?"
Bow chuckled. "Well Silvia is nice and all, but..."
"But Mina is more, beautiful? Someone you would lay your life down for?"
"I guess so."
"(yawn) I am completely tired bow. Right now I need some sleep. So don`t make any noise or I`ll be really cranky."
"Alright buddy. Pleasant dreams."
"Yeah, yeah. Now go to sleep!!"
Bow chuckled to himself then went to bed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------
Sometime around midnight :
Knock, knock, knock
"Hang on, hang on. I`m coming, I`m coming." Bow answered sleepily. "Who is it?"
Bow opened the door.
"Hello. Are you the ranger Bow?" The stranger asked.
"Maybe so, maybe no. Who`s asking and why?"
"My name is Kilgore. I have a business proposition for you."
"Come in." Bow motioned as the stranger stepped inside "Now tell me what business you have."
"You do know of the person called Trout do you not?"
"Of course I do. Everyone in Hometown knows of him." Bow answered "You and him and the most wealthiest people in this town. But it is rumoured that Trout acquired his wealth illegally."
"That is not a rumour Bow," kilgore turned and faced Bow "It's the truth! He stole from me my most prized possession. I would like you to steal it back for me. I can make it worth your while."
"Give me the details Mr. Kilgore." Bow answered.
Soon afterwards Kilgore left and Bow gathered his weapon`s and armour.
"I`d better not wake him, ever since we were young I`ve alway`s been better at stealing than him. I`m best off doing this myself, and if anything goes wrong," Bow walked over to the door and looked back at Ryu "which happens almost everytime I do something by myself, he`ll probably get my butt out of the fire, as usual."
Bow silently shut the door and left.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------
The next morning :
"Ohhh, man." Ryu moaned as he stood up "C`mon Bow, ya sleepyhead wake up."
Ryu walked over to Bow`s bunk and saw it was empty.
"Uh-oh, not again." Ryu said as he turned and grabbed his shirt, armour and weapon`s and left the room in a hurry.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------
At midday :
Ryu returned to his room and found Bow standing there looking rather ashamed of himself.
"Bow what happened? Why did you leave last night and what did you do?"
"Let me explain it to you : last night there was a knock at the door and I answered it. It was Kilgore and he..."
"Let me guess bow. He told you how Trout had stolen something from him and he`d like you to get it back for him, so you break into Trout`s house and...."
"That was when I found another thief who had stolen everything. I turned to run and was almost caught by the guards. So they think I stole everything that was in Trout`s treasure room."
"And now they`re after you, right?"
Bow nodded.
"C`mon Bow, I know the perfect place for you to hide out while I go after the thief. By the way what did the thief look like so I know who to bring back to stand for trial?"
"The thief had bat-like wings and was female. And, I swear on my parent`s graves, she looked like your twin."
Ryu stopped what he was doing and looked at Bow, a strange look on his face.
"My......... Twin???" Ryu gasped.
Bow nodded "Ryu I remember what you told me about your sister. About what she looked like and, this looked exactly like her. Albeit it looked like her only about ten years older."
"You do know that if what you say is true, I can`t turn her over to the guard`s."
There was a loud knock at the door.
"Bow get into the trashcan and be quiet." Ryu hissed.
Bow obeyed.
Into the room came a guard.
"Alright where is your friend Bow?"
"Do you have a warrant to check this room, slime-bucket!!" Ryu retorted.
"This here is the warrant." The guard had only drawn his sword halfway out of it`s scabbard. It never completed it`s journey. The guard lay sprawled on the ground unconscious.
"C`mon Bow, let`s get outta here."
"I`m with you buddy."
As Ryu and Bow climbed out of the window and were about to climb over the town wall when....
"Ryu? Bow? What`s going on? What are the two of you doing?"
Ryu and bow turned at the sound of the voice.
"Silvia!!" Bow gasped.
Before Bow could stop him Ryu had thrown a dart at Silvia. She fell down immediately, unconscious.
Bow looked at Ryu and started to say something, then he too fell down. A similar dart which had hit Silvia had hit Bow in his arm.
Ryu bent down and picked Bow up "Oof! You`ve got to go on a diet Bow, that`s for sure."
Ryu carried Bow as he left for the ruins on the otherside of Mount Fubi.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------
In the ruins :
"Niro, my friend . I have a boon to ask of you." Ryu asked the old man as he greeted Ryu.
"And that would be?"
"To look after my friend until I return. He will help you with repairs on this place." Ryu handed a note to Niro "Please give Bow this letter when he awakens."
"I will young man. Good luck on your journey."
"Thank you." Ryu turned and left the ruins.

Death's Head - The plot thickens. With the knowledge, his sister is still alive, Ryu heads after her, while also trying to clear Bow's name. He also, comes across two new friends as well as a daemon, with links to a certain three eyed, horned daemon from Ryu's past.
Naru - Give out all the plot why don't you.
Death's Head - Quiet you! R&R please, readers.
