A/n: Sorry it's been so long since I last updated but school has been hell.

Ray: nod yes. Normally Darkfire is cooped up in her room thinking or reading never going near her laptop. It made me somewhat sad...

Kai: Didn't bother me none.

Darkfire: Okay lets get this started

Disclaimer: twitch, twitch I.DON'T...DON'T...UGH...I can't say it...Ray you do it

Ray: She don't own it.

Ray never wanted to move. Kai held him in a way that he had never held anyone before. "I love you," he whispered through parted lips

Kai returned his response by pulling him closer into a deeper kiss.

Darkfire looked down at the two from atop of the hill "Wow...this really would make a good story to tell" Azurefire laughed and nodded

Earthwing hugged Darkfire and said good night, "Keep a good eye out for those two" he said and walked away.

Max and Tyson who were looking on at a distance were talking

"Who would have thought Kai would fall for him." Said Tyson "He always looked like the kinda guy who would marry a princess from a far away place"

Max nodded "Yeah, but I guess this is his destiny for eternity"

Tyson smiled "I love that song"

Kai looked into his lover's eyes. They were a passion gold. He smiled as Ray began to purr

Ray smiled "What?" he gave him one of his toothy grins

Kai smiled and kissed him once more "Nothing"

"HEY!" cried a voice "How long are you going to be down there?"

Kai and Ray looked up from each other and laughed. They had forgotten that they were still standing on the lake.

Darkfire was standing on the hill waving her arms "Your going to catch a cold! Both of you are!" Azurefire finished

Kai grabbed Ray by his waist and they walked back to Darkfire and Azurefire.

"Have a good time?" asked Azurefire walking towards the village

Kai and Ray didn't answer they knew that Darkfire and Azurefire could read their minds to find the answer.

Darkfire stopped "Something doesn't feel right..." she mumbled to Azurefire

Azurefire nodded and scanned the area "It feel like someone is watching us."

The hooded woman looked into the floating glass orb and thought to herself "It seems like they know..."

Mariah and Sashe came in behind her "Mistress" they said bowing "Should we attack or wait longer" Sashe said looking into the orb and growled. She saw Kai holding Ray by the waist. 'I swear by my holy code...' she thought to herself.

Mariah looked over at her partner and then at their 'Mistress'

"Attack, capture as many guardians as possible, bring Ray and Kai to me. The rest you can leave dead" The two bowed and left

Darkfire stopped once more as thousands of hooded men burst out of the trees and bushes all around them. Darkfire dodged an attack from one of the men, she head butted him and unsheathed her sword slicing trough his torso

Azurefire jumped into the way of the attack directed towards Ray and took the hit. The man laughed as Azurefire doubled over. She looked up. Metallic blue eyes shinned and she stood straight. The man stopped laughing as the wound and cloth mended itself. She grinned and thrust a dagger into his stomach.

Tyson and Max came running down the hill attacking men on their way down

Kai unsheathed his own sword and attacked man all around him. Ray had no weapon, but he remembered all of the moves Darkfire taught him 'Just like dancing' he thought and jumped in to the air and doing a 360 whilst kicking three men and breaking their necks

Darkfire stopped and grinned as Ray mixed Karate with Dancing. At the corner of her eye she saw a dart flying towards her neck. She dodged and the dart hit another man in the forehead, the man's eyes rolled into the back of his head, he grabbed his heart and fell to the ground like he just had a seizure.

Ray jumped on top of a man's head and stood there till the man reached up for him, the man now noticing the extra weight. He lifted his arms to reach for him but Ray twisted a little making a loud CRACK echo throughout the forest but everyone was unaware, the man fell dead with a broken neck.

Ray jumped into the air and did a back flip and kicking a man in the back of the neck while doing so. Darkfire was grinning widely 'Not bad not bad at all' she thought

Kai was doing a masterful job at fighting; all of his moves were perfectly maneuvered and well predicted.

All was going well until a loud screech was heard among them. They all looked up and saw about 20 hawk-like creatures heading for them. One swooped down and grabbed Ray, claws ripping into flesh. Ray let out a soft scream as the giant creature pierced his arms.

Kai looked up and yelled "RAY!"

The bird took off again and ignoring the struggles of Ray. The other birds surrounded Kai and picked him up as well.

Darkfire and Azurefire grew frantic and through black and blue fireballs at the bird but had to fight off the men as well.

Ray looked over at Kai with squinting eyes because of the pain and noticed most if the birds were trying to peck at Kai. Ray grew angry...very angry

Darkfire had to stop, she got a wave of shivers, and she looked up and saw Ray glowing and deep crimson red

Ray raised his arms with difficulty the clenched his fists he gave a loud scream and arched his back as fire burst from his body and formed what looked like angel wings. The flying creature gave out a scream as it burst into flames followed by the other creatures. Ray staid floating in mid-air, his eyes glowing. He stared hard at all of the men on the ground. He gasped for a second and fell to the ground unconscious.

Kai who had recently landed ran under Ray and caught him. Ray was warm, like he was on fire. Darkfire looked over and yelled, "Don't touch him! Unless you want to burst into flames"

Kai backed off "Than what do you want me to do?" he yelled back

Darkfire ignored his question and looked up. Above all of them was a woman draped in a black coat. Her laugh echoed into the minds of all of them. She flicked her hand and Ray floated off the ground.

She flicked her hand once more. Kai and Azurefire levitated off the ground as well, but she tossed her head to the side and Azurefire was thrown out of the forest and possible somewhere far away. Kai struggled and gasped while he hung there like a puppet.

All of the men took their chances and jumped Darkfire all at the same time. When they finally pulled off of her she was draped in chains and a dart was visible in her neck. She twitched a few times and her eyes rolled to the back of her head.

The men ran over to Kai and bashed him on the head. Kai fell unconscious.

"What do you want us to do with these two?" a man asked holding Max and Tyson by the scruff of their necks

She flipped her head back. "I don't care...drown them" she stopped and looked over at Darkfire "And put her in the torture chamber...Sashe and Mariah will take care of her"

"And the other one? What if she comes?" he asked wondering about Azurefire

"Do what you did to Darkfire. Once those two are separated it is easier to take a fully trained professional guardian" She stopped 'Why am I saying these things?' she looked at Darkfire's body and saw she was glowing

She landed and went to Darkfire's side "This is for everything, and my sister," she said before kicking her as hard as she could into Darkfire's stomach

Darkfire even though she was out cold scrunched into a little ball and tears pouring down her face because 1: she let Ray down 2:she was being mocked 3: she was just kicked by her sister

A/n: wow...okay this is one of my shortest chapters yet. I kinda left you at a MAJOR cliffhanger, but I wanted to get this out before I had to endure another hell rising week at school. God I can't wait for summer. I hope you have been reading the clues I left for you . God speed to all.

Ray: Wow, I had no idea you were into puzzle stories

Darkfire: I had just read 'The Westing Game' in class (A little below my reading level, but it was an assignment) and I liked the plot. If you like a good puzzling book I would suggest this one.

Kai: Shrug yeah, but you still left them at a pretty short chapter, normally you chapters range about 10-12 pages long, this one is just 5 ½ pages long

Darkfire: I know and I'm sorry, but I'm getting into the kinda suspense thing, I hope you guys enjoyed this one, I'll get the next chapter up soon, Guardian's promise bow Hope to see you soon

She lifted the small boy into her arms and hugged him, "Be a little more careful okay?" she said she set him down and started to walk away until the boy reached for her hand and asked, "Until we meet again?" he asked. Darkfire laughed and looked down into the golden eyes "Until we meet again" she promised.
