Toan slowly opened his eyes to furious hissing,
wondering why he wasn't dead yet, and saw the
snake backing away from him, its right eye bleeding
badly, drops of crimson dripping from it's face, a piece
of shattered sword visibly stuck through it's eyeball.
Toan staggared up as Xiao rushed over to him, picking up
another broken sword shard for her slingshot and shooting
it at the snake, the projectile bouncing off it's thick scales.
It turned to the pair and glared viciously. Toan pulled
out the Serpent Sword, and was about to strike when the
snake charged him and Xiao. He was put in a familiar scenario;
if he stood here, he'd be devoured, or atleast mortally
wounded. If he dodged, his closest friend Xiao would be
hurt badly. He cursed under his breath, using his sword to
block the snake's wicked fangs, holding it off while it tried
to strike time and time again. "Xiao, run!!" he yelled; the feline
nodded, dashing away. The snake struck one final
time and Toan rolled under the blow, dashing through it and
fatally slashing a segment of it. The snake turned to face him,
glaring coldly, half it's face sopping with blood, before it's eyes
rolled behind its head, falling to the ground in two pieces, plunging
into a puddle of crimson.

-----Toan fell to the ground, exhausted and weak from bleeding
(remember that sword shard that grazed his shoulder?), and had
to be helped back to the forest by Xiao.

----Toan and Xiao were allowed to stay over at the musician's
place for the night. Toan stood outside on the balcony, his
left arm bandaged up at the shoulder, his left hand still
showing a few scars from when Xiao accidently scratched
him last chapter. "Hi Toan!" came a soft voice from directly
beside him, surprising him.
---"Oh, hey Xiao." Toan said, adding mentally, 'I'll never get used
to her sneaking around like that..'
---"You've been quiet the last couple of days to Xiao." said the
feline, looking up at the stars. "Xiao wonders why.."
---"Sorry, I didn't mean to.. I, I've just been thinking a lot lately."
---"Really? About what?" Xiao asked, her ears perking up with
curiosity.
---"Well.. like, how any of us could die, just like that." Toan
said with a sigh. "We both could have been devoured
yesterday.."
---"Oh, Xiao understands. Xiao was scared, too." said the
feline girl. Toan shook his head.
---"It's not that I was scared of dying.. it's just.. well, it made
me think.. there are a lot of things I haven't done in my life, that
I'd regret not doing if I had died then - or if you died for
that matter." he said.
---"Like what?"
---".. like, well.. I dunno, finding true love, stopping the Dark Genie,
telling people goodbye.."
---"Finding true love?" Xiao asked with a giggle.
---".. er, yes." Toan said, a bit reddened in the face. He turned to
face her. "Anyway.. I'd rather not wait untill I die before I say
this.. so.. well... I love you, Xiao."
---Xiao smiled, hugging his right arm. "Xiao loves you too.
You're like a brother to Xiao." she said.
---Toan shook his head. "No, I didn't mean.." he said, trying
to think of how to explain it to a feline as Xiao eyed him
curiously. "I meant.. I love you.. as.. uh.. a girl friend."
---"A girl friend?" Xiao said. "But you have several friends
that are girls, don't you?"
---"No, no, I meant.. like.." ... 'jeeze this is hard..' he thought
to himself, trying to think of how to make Xiao understand
what he meant.
---"....." Xiao's eyes widened in realization. "Y.. You want
Xiao to be your mate?" she said softly.
---Toan blinked. "Uh.. y-yeah, that's it." he said,
wondering why he didn't think to put it that way
before.
---Xiao turned bright red in the face; Toan started to
feel a bit humiliated and extremely nervous at this
point, but then Xiao slid over to him, sliding her arms around
his waist and nuzzling up against him affectionately.
"If that's what "i love you" means.. then Xiao loves you too."
the feline girl said, purring contently as Toan kissed her
lips softly, holding her close.

------"Hey guys, I'm going to bed now." the musician
said, walking out to where they were standing. They looked
at him then quickly seperated, both looking embarassed.
".. ahem, I'll leave you two kids alone now." he said with
a chuckle as he walked back into his bedroom for the
night. The pair laughed nervously as they embraced again,
kissing one last time before heading to bed.

-(Author's Note: Well, didja expect THAT pairing?

the end of the game, and if I have enough reviews
i'll add a few bonus chapters after that *hint, hint!*))
