Chapter 6: To meet once again

I will survive

I will show them my true strength

I will defy all…

But who shall catch me when I fall?

Is there someone who cares?

Anyone at all?

Damn him to hell….

Hope that ancient would knock him out cold

Mizu continued swearing deep within her head as she slowly walked around the pyramids. Weary of any creature that might appear, she gripped her stunner harder. Uttering silent incantations as old as time, Mizu felt the surge of energy wrap around her body before surging forward to meet the ancient mummy that came her way. Furiously pounding on the poor creature thinking that it was the Underground Assassins guild master she was actually killing.

As the mummy fell down before her, she couldn't help smirk as her mind showed her a very beat up assassin instead of the dead ancient. Breathing deeply, she went to one corner and closed her eyes.

"Magnificat!"

Blue eyes sharp as she sighed and felt the immediate effect of the spell on her body. Slowly sliding down to the floor to rest for a while, Mizu stared at the wall before her and thought about the training partner… wherever he may be.

That wretch is probably hoping that I get killed here. Brought me down here to test my strength eh? No one had ever challenged me up front like this and I'll show him… I make him regret his very life once I'm through here. Not even Hatred went this far. Mizu gripped her stunner harder as she remembered her friends and family. She smiled miserably.

I wonder how they're all doing right now… she thought sadly before blowing the fringes out of her eyes and stood up. I have no time to think about this… if I want to prove myself to that arrogant, airhead… I have to train…and I will train… even if I have to kill every demon that lurks in this place, I will.

Amber eyes observed the young priestess seated ahead of him. He had seen the anger in her eyes, then sadness and he saw the fiery determination that flared in her clear blue eyes. He gritted his teeth. What the hell was happening to him? He could feel his control slipping from his grasp every minute, every second as he continuously, carelessly watched over her. He knew he should be indifferent to her, hate her, she was nothing more than a nuisance. But then, what is this that keeps on tugging in his soul as he watched her. Something deep inside him wanting to reach out to her.

He growled and whipped around just in time to dodge the attack of the ancient that had materialized behind him. Unleashing his fury to the creature, he swore vehemently in his head. What the hell is happening to him? He gasped as he eyed the crumpled body of the demon before him, he released a ragged breath and felt someone looking at him. Slowly turning to face whoever had audacity to even look at him, his face showing nothing but his eyes showed the surprise that he felt as he saw the very object of his thoughts.

Mizu stood not five feet away from him and gave an unladylike snort of disgust. His sharp senses catching one word from her.

"Idiot."

His hands clenched into his weapon and before he could tell her to get lost and continue training, she closed her eyes and clasped her hands before her as if she was praying, her mouth moving with words he cannot define before she opened her eyes and he was surrounded by a bright light.

"Heal!! Increase Agi!! Blessing!! Aspersio!! Angelus!! Magnificat!!"

He stood there looking at his hands as he felt energized and power surge deep within his body. Looking up at her, she tilted her head. "Even you're such a jerk and I would want nothing more that to let you die, I couldn't do that."

He gave her one of his coldest glare "Why? You don't have any responsibility over me." He clipped out

Her eyes turned mutinous as she answered him in her own icy voice. "No, I do not, do I? But it is the least I can do for your guild mates who look so highly up on you, for reasons I cannot decipher, for being kind and friendly to me." Turning her back to him, she told him. "And now if can excuse me from your oh, so, obnoxious presence, I am now leaving and will take a nice good bath back at the castle."

Shinta gritted his teeth. This woman really knows how to set his nerves on the edge… and nothing gets to him this easily as she does now. Eyes glittering dangerously, he smirked. Two can play that game. I know just how much you loathe being in my presence.

"Matte!" cold, unfeeling, authoritative.

Mizu glared at him as walked closer to her. "I think it's time to call it a day anyway. Why don't you warp us outside?" he told her, his face and eyes telling her nothing, but she was sure she can feel his mirth. Damn him. Damn him to hell… she thought as she voiced out the incantation for a warp portal.

Saitou stood outside the pyramid doors as he waited for his party, namely, Blessed, Hi-Jakkk, and GK. His dark eyes assessing the scene before him, nothing out of place here. Just the usual people, merchants, hunters with their partners, party members laughing, first job fighters milling about, mostly begging for a free heal and yelling in appreciation and thanks when a silver haired priestess gave them two sanctuaries. Mizu would do the same if she was just here… no matter what, it was in her nature to help people, to be generous with what she can give, his eyes darkening even more as he remembered their lost guild mate. He was about to turn his head to scan the crowd for any sign of his party when the priestess turned her head and smiled at a raven-haired huntress and a tall blacksmith.

His breath caught as his eyes focused only at the face of the priestess. Mizu. He didn't even realize that he had moved until he was only a foot from her. It was her. Her smile, her laugh… he was sure it was her.

"Mizu."

Mizu chuckled as a group of first job fighters came to her begging for a heal, unable to help herself despite Shinta's dark countenance, she brought out two blue gemstones and released two sanctuaries.

"You are going to lose you gemstones in no time flat if you continue on that attitude of yours." Came the chuckling voice

Mizu turned and faced a grinning Misao and Sano. "Maa… I can't help it. And besides, I won't have to worry on losing blue gems… I could always ask from Sano here." She told them as she laughed.

"OI! I will not be your gem bank!" he told her in outraged tomes but couldn't help but laugh himself.

All three of them turned when they heard a hoarse voice whisper the priestess' name. Sano and Misao held a look of pure curiosity on their faces as they eyed the dark eyed, silver haired assassin before them and the reaction on their friend's face.

Mizu's eyes widened in shock as she saw the assassin before her. Too stunned to speak even when Saitou grabbed her arms and shook her.

"Mizu! Where the hell have you been? The entire guild have been worried sick over you. How could you just leave like that?! You know that Hatred never meant what he said… and Blessed's heartbroken after you left… what…" his interrogation was cut off when he was wrenched away from the wide eyes priestess by the blacksmith. The huntress quickly made her way beside the priestess and asked her if she was alright and wrapped her arms around her. The blacksmith stood menacingly before him.

"What the hell do you think you're doing to our little missy?!" Sano growled as he cracked his knuckles, eyeing Saitou dangerously.

"It's none of your business! And who the hell are you anyway?!" he growled back at Sano

"The name's Sano… Sano of the Underground Assassins." Sano grinned darkly at the assassin before him

Saitou gritted his teeth. What the hell is Mizu doing with these type of people?!

"Saitou… Les Guardiens" came the cold answer

Sano's eyebrow raised a bit. "Les Guardiens eh? So what? You have nothing to do with her anymore, you forgot, she left your guild. On her own discretion and choice." He told Saitou mockingly

The jur was out of his hands before he even knew it. "Get out of my way, she's coming back with me." He growled

"Says who?" Sano taunted him as he revealed his gigantic ax and Misa positioned to shoot him any moment now.

Just before Saitou could attack, he was held back firmly by a knight and a hunter, behind them stood a green haired priestess.

Hi-Jakkk grinned, "Looks like the odds are against you." He told Sano, then looking at his back, he smiled. "Good to see you again, Mizu! Just wait a while and we'll get you back, ok?" turning to Sano, Hi-Jakkk positioned his arrow directly at the blacksmith and GK held his spear on an attack position.

Just as Hi-Jakkk released his arrow, it was deflected by a dagger as it whizzed past them. All heads turned to the side as they saw Shinta standing dangerously quietly on one side. As he lifted his head to look at them, the les guardiens members moved back a step as the felt the full enmity of his gaze on them.

Making his way slowly toward Mizu, he gripped his jur and positioned it on her delicate neck, his glittering eyes never leaving the les guardiens party. Coming close to Mizu from behind, his jur still poised at her neck, he smirked darkly.

"Do you remember what I told you the first day that I brought you in our guild little priestess?" he asked her silkily enjoying the murderous expressions on the four les guardiens.

Mizu's eyes widened as he remembered his words to her. Don't bother calling your friends… if you don'twant usto kill them.

Tears sprung to her eyes. "Damn you…" she whispered at him.

He smirked even more at her reaction. "It's your call priestess…." He told her silkily

Mizu closed her eyes and sighed in defeat. Lifting her hands to the jur placed at her throat, she held his hand and turned towards him.

"I do not know them." She whispered to him

Hiding his weapon in his cloak he smirked at her surrender. After all that has happened, they still remain to her as her family… "I can't hear you…." He taunted as he grasped her chin to fully face him. Tears ran streaming down her face as she repeated what she said louder this time. Loud enough to be heard by everyone around them including the four les guardiens.

"Good." He whispered before lowering his head to claim her mouth.

Mizu's eyes snapped open as she felt Shinta's lips on her own. Before she could even react, it was over. The assassin lifted his head and dared the les guardiens to defy him. "You heard her. She doesn't know you… now why don't you just leave and don't try anything foolish because I assure you… we will kill you if you do. Now you don't want your deaths on the beautiful little priestess' conscience now do you?" he asked them silkily before turning back on the path to their castle, his hand gripping hard on Mizu's arm.

Mizu could only turn her head and look at her friends sadly. "I'm sorry minna…."

Sano and Misa followed Shinta and Mizu when they were sure that the four les guardiens wouldn't try and follow them.

Saitou gritted his teeth as his hand clenched and unclenched on the jur in his hands.

"Mizu!!!!!!!!!!!" he yelled as he slammed his jur on the hot sand beneath him in rage.
