Karana Belle: thanks to all who reviewed. I was sooo happy to see them!

psychotic_salad—you laughed for an hour? Thank you! Now I know at least one person thought that it was funny! I thought hyperventilating was a good word choice too.

Captain Spam—I will write a flashback in his childhood for you and right now is as good a time as any other! Thank you for telling me what their money was!

MWPP and Lily—thank you for telling me what their money was called too. I changed it after I read the reviews. And thank you for you advice I shall try to use it a lot in all my stories.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything except the plotline, Jessica (from last chapter) and the Killer's guild.

Unexpected Change of Heart

Chapter 2 Yuber's childhood

It was a dark room. Only one torch in it to give light. The flames on it slowly eating the wood away. Shadows danced around the room in all except one corner. Sniffling is heard from that corner. A young boy huddling in it trying to cry unnoticed. He knew that if any one heard him cry he would get it. The punishment of having to train with the older and more experienced men for a week.

This boy is only 11. His blonde hair needing washing as for his clothes. The usually black clothes were caked in dirt from continually being pushed down in training. How he hated it. All he wanted to do was go back to his home in the small valley probably miles away from this horrid place. There was a bang, as his door was slammed open. The boy hurriedly wiped his eyes and stifling his sniffles.

"Yuber. Hurry up you are supposed to be in training." A gruff man went over to the dark corner and yanked at the boy's clothes. He carried Yuber towards the door and threw him out. Yuber hit the floor hard. Another bruise joined the others all over his beaten body. The older man laughed and kicked Yuber. Yuber got up slowly and started walking. He soon heard the sound of steel on steel and at once knew that he was late for his 'class'.

Walking into a room with many boys fighting with real swords and what not, Yuber tried to sneak in and pretend that he was practicing the whole time. It didn't work for as he was reaching for a sword a voice called out

"You there!" all heads turned towards Yuber, "think you can sneak in do you?" the teacher of the 'class' moved toward Yuber sword drawn.

"I think we have someone who thinks they don't need to be on time. That he is already good enough." Yuber started shaking. "Big Bill, why don't you come and have a match with this boy."

A young man came up smiling, a hungry look in his eyes. "Would be my pleasure." Bill laughed. No one else did, afraid for Yuber and each relieved that it wasn't himself in his place. Bill was blood thirsty, everyone knew. He was also in his fifth year in training and very good with a sword.

Bill started towards Yuber. Sword drawn. Then Bill lifted his sword up above Yuber's head bringing down the hilt...

(End dream/flashback)

Yuber woke up with a start. He had dreamed about that life again, the life in the Killer's Guild. Sweating Yuber looked around him and remembered where he was.

Jessica had lead him towards a pond with a lot of kids around it. They all were looking at something in the pond. Jessica had run towards them letting go of Yuber's hand as she went. Relieved Yuber went and sat behind a tree facing away from the kids. He had then fallen asleep .
Yuber heard footsteps coming closer to him. Thinking it was a child he did not look at it. He then heard a voice, but it didn't belong to a child.

"Are you okay?"

Yuber looked up.

Karana: haha evil cliffhanger! I had fun writing this chapter. And in case you didn't know it was a flashback of Yuber's child hood for the most part. I hope you all like this chapter. Review please!
