A/N: Here's the next chapter. Thanx for the reviews!
Hannah: Thanx for the thought, but you'd probably get me in trouble for that…I think that's breaking some kind of rule…
**insert words here** are the song lyrics.
Disclaimer: Well, let's see here…I think I have about 16 cents…if you really think it's worth it, then sue me. I don't own Zoids or any bands that may surface anywhere in this fic.
Claimer: I own Shamoto and Koto. I don't care if you have a sea green or any other shade of green organoid…it's a easy color to use. I do care, however, if you steal Shamoto. He's mine. No touch.

"Be at the caves at 6:00 in 3 days. You know which cave I mean. Don't force me to make the meeting sooner."
Static again filled the cockpit. Neither spoke for a few minutes. They each were a bit creeped out. Raven reached up, ejected the disk and snapped it into many piece muttering curses under his breath. He again turned back to Reese.
"Let me see that." Raven said taking the CDs from the zoidian. "Reese, you like Linkin Park, right?" He said sticking Meteora in.
"Yeah." she replied as he moved to the song he wanted and turned it up.
**When I pretend everything is what I want it to be.
I look exactly like what you had always wanted to see.
When I pretend I can forget about the criminal I am.
Stealing second after second just cause I know I can.
But I can't pretend this is the way it will stay.
I'm just trying to bend the truth.
I can't pretend I'm who you want me to be.
So I'm lying my way from you.**
Raven sang along with the CD and Reese just listened for a while.
'Wow…who would have thought Raven could sing? He sounds just as good as the band does…" the blue haired woman thought to herself.
"Any requests for a song?" he asked as the song finished.
"How about 'Don't Stay'." she said.
He reached up and switched the tracks. They just sang and listened for a few hours. A little window popped up about 3 hours later.
"Hey. We're coming up to Gigolos. Where are we going to head first?" Van asked.
Raven turned the com link back on.
"To a hotel. We'll get 2 rooms there. I don't have much money." Raven answered.
"Me neither." Van said. "Maybe Rudolph can help us out a bit there."
"Tomorrow. I just want to get there and sleep tonight." Raven said looking back at a now sleeping zoidian. "And it looks as if Reese is a step ahead of us."
"I'm ready for some rest too." Fiona piped up from behind Van. "I'd like to go for a swim too if they have a pool. It'd be great for relaxing."
"I could go for that." Van agreed.
"Let's just get there first." Raven said closing the window. He turned around and shook Reese awake. "Wake up. We're almost there."
The zoidian woke up and looked around.
"Any dreams?" he asked.
"Shamoto? No." she said. "Why? Did he show up again or leave another surprise?"
"No." he answered as the Geno Breaker came to a halt outside the city.
Everyone gathered up the stuff they'd need for the night. They decided to leave the zoids out and find a hanger tomorrow. Raven lead the way through the city and to a hotel. They went in and walked up to the counter.
"We need two rooms, please." Van said to the young lady behind the counter.
"Smoking or non?" she asked with a cheerful smile.
"Uh, Raven?" Van turned to him.
"Baka. Do you really think I smoke?" he said giving Van a 'you're pitiful' look.
"Sorry. Non." Van turned back to the girl.
"Ok. Your numbers are 452 and 453. Here are your keys and there's an information sheet on the table in you rooms with the breakfast times and stuff like that. Enjoy your stay!" the girl said.
"Thank you!" said Fiona with her little smile (smile = ^_^).
"Retard. Do you really think I smoke?" Raven asked playfully punching Van on the arm.
"Hey, it's not like I see you every day…" he said putting up his hands in defense.
"Reese, you're acting kinda strange. Is everything ok?" Fiona asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just tired." she said shifting her bag to the other hand.
They got in the elevator and went to their rooms. Van and Fiona shared one and Raven and Reese the other (A/N: kinda obvious, no?). The rooms had 2 beds, a small table, 1 bathroom, 1 closet, a TV, and a microwave. It wasn't anything fancy, but it was nice.
Reese set her stuff down next to the little table and Raven dropped his in the corner by the closet. She sat down on the closest bed while Raven went and grabbed the paper.
"Want to go for a swim?" he asked.
"Sure. Anything to relax." she said laying back.
"You want to relax, huh? Roll over." he said with a bit of a mischievous grin.
"Why?" she asked as she did so.
Raven climbed up onto the bed and straddled her lower back and sat down.
"Raven!" she said shocked he would get so close.
"Am I hurting you?" he asked.
"No…" she said.
"Good. Just relax." the Dark One said as he began to rub her back. He moved his hands in little circles al over her back.
"When did you learn to give massages?" she asked.
"Beats me. Just know it, I guess." he answered. He leaned over a bit and whispered in her ear. "You like it?"
"Yah, it feels great." she said. She felt something a bit wet on her neck. Raven had given her a little kiss.
"What's gotten into you lately?" she asked him.
"I'm sorry." he said getting off her. "I guess I just kept my emotions to myself for so long…they're just kinda pouring out or something. I'm sorry."
"That'll happen." Reese moved to be sitting next to him. She leaned in and kissed him on the lips. He gladly returned the kiss. They pressed their lips against each others and pulled slightly apart. Raven reached up and put a hand on Reese's cheek and leaned in to kiss her again. They pressed lips again, longer this time. Things were about to go a bit further, but there was a knock and a voice at the door.
"Hey, you two want to come with us to the pool?" Van asked.
"You've got damn great timing, Van." Raven said quietly so only him and the blue haired woman heard.
"No." Reese called out.
"Alright. 'Night then." Van said walking off.
"Good night." Fiona called.
"See ya." Raven said laying back and resting his head on his hands.
"'Night." Reese called. She looked back at Raven and laid down with her head on his chest and an arm across his stomach. "I have a bad feeling."
"What do you mean had asked putting an arm around the small of her back.
"I just feel like something bad is going to happen. I don't know what…just something." she said.
"I'm sure that's all it is. Just a feeling. Are you sleeping here, or in the other bed?" He said pushing her gently off and standing up. He pulled off his shirt, walked into the bathroom and shut the door behind him.
"I'm taking this one." she said grabbing her bag. She rummaged through the bag trying to find something comfortable to sleep in.
"Doesn't matter to me." he called from the little room.
Pulling out a baggy black t-shirt and a pair of blue shorts, she went to stand next to the door. The toilet flushed, and Raven stepped out a few seconds later.
"Did you hear something?" he asked.
"Only you." she replied. Then looking very concerned, she asked, "Why? What do you think it was?"
"Probably nothing." He said walking toward the beds.
Reese walking into the small room and shut the door. She looked over at the toilet. 'What an idiot…can't even put the seat back down.' she thought to herself. She fixed the problem, used the toilet and started to undress. She had just pulled off her shirt and put the black one on when she heard the sound of shattering glass.

A/N: Sorry if they seem OOC to you. They don't really to me. If you think about what they're going through and what they have been through, then it makes a bit more sense…
Well, I'm proud of myself! 2 chapter written in one night. Need 5 reviews before you can get another though…I'm out of writer's block too, so I'm just looking for time right now…
