a/n: I'm sorry if the format of this story is a bit off but ff.nets screwed it all up -_-;. (u'll need to try to figure out the flash backs by your self, any thing with Nichalo should a in flashback mode) sorry...

Pain seemed to shoot through her emerald aluminous eyes, a shattered Heart broken image reflected in them. Leaving the fiend's evil look abandoned for the time being.

A young boy, aged from around 7 years old, offered her his hand in friendship. Reese looked at it confused by this act. What was she to do with it? She stuck her hand out mimicking him, Looking puzzled on what to do next.

The blue haired woman stretched out her arm to the emptiness. Feeling the chilling wind and cold rain numb her fingers, she withdrew her hand and held it tightly within her other, trying to warm it back up again. She could almost see a faded image of Nichalo standing before her.

The boy laughed slightly and clasped their hands together into a tight friendly grip. He shook her hand, smiling and let go. Her hand still floated in mid-air as he pulled his hand out of hers. Nichalo chuckled again, polity and gently lowering her hand to her side for her.

The blue devil watched the image intently, wishing she could touch him and be able to feel the warmth of his skin. Reaching her hand shakily back out to the boy, she touched his chest, but her benumbed hand went right through it. She felt no warmth, not even feeling a solid. She with drew her hand yet again, feeling emptier than what she had felt before.

Her eyes wide and staring, she watched him constantly, fascinated by every movement he made. Nichalo fidgeted with his blue tunic, feeling uncomfortable with the strong silence. Reese withdrew her eyes for a moment and looked up to the walls, now realising, for the first time, that she was in a cave. There were scattered drawings on the walls, placed in random areas. She studied them eagerly.

The blue haired fiend retrieved a small rock from her over large pockets. You could barely make out that something had been printed on it. A tear rolled down her cheek and fell onto the stone ground.

"Hm?" Nichalo looked up to see that his newly found friend had stopped looking at him and was now taken by the pictures. "You like them?"

Reese nodded and tried to get to her feet, but failed miserably. She collapsed back to the ground, with silent tears swelling in her eyes.

"Watch it..." Nichalo said, kindly moving over next to her and placed his arm around her shoulder comfortingly.

Reese rubbed her ankles sorrowfully wincing slightly.

"What's wrong?" Nichalo asked placing his hand over hers, which was on her ankle. "Does it hurt?"

Reese didn't answer; she didn't even look at him. She stared silently at her feet.

"Do you want me to bring you one over?" asked Nichalo getting to his feet.

He took a small chisel from his pocket and chiselled out a small drawing from the stonewall and handed it to Reese. "I drew them, hope you like them..."

Reese took it and stared, concentrating on the lines. She followed the drawing with her finger and smiled in gratitude to Nichalo.
