Chapter 7
I'm on a roll ^_^ Well that last chapter kinda sucked, but I just woke up when I wrote it so this one'll be better, I promise! Oh yeah, and for all you who wanted romance in this fic…you get it here! ^_____________________^
Samantha looked over at Shin. "So do we look for them, or what?" she asked blinking. Shin let out a huge sigh. "They can't be found…" he said clicking his laptop shut. Samantha looked out the window. I'll never know anything about my father, or my mother she thought sadly. Shin looked over at her. "There is one other thing we can try, but I doubt it'll work" he said. She looked back at him. "What?"
"First we'll need to go back to Miaka's house" he said starting the car and taking off. Samantha watched out the window. She never would have thought anything like this would happen to her. Her whole past was a mystery, and all her life she had tried to solve it. Now it just came at her out of nowhere, it was so strange. Now she wished she had never wondered. They pulled up to Miaka's and got out. "I hope the syndicate hasn't already been here…"Shin muttered knocking on the door. Samantha wrapped her arms around herself. Such a cold rainy night. The door opened. "You're back already?" Miaka asked surprised. "Yeah. We don't have a plan to attack the Syndicate yet, so I've gotta call a few old friends…" he said. Miaka looked at the scarf wrapped around Samantha's arm. "Are you hurt?" she asked, looking concerned. "Yeah, we had a little trouble with the syndicate, but I'm ok" she said rubbing her arm. "We should probably get the proper dressing on it, sit down right here and I'll be back" Miaka said walking to the bathroom. Samantha could hear Shin's voice in the other room. She couldn't make out what he was saying though. Miaka came back in with a first aid kit. She removed the scarf from Samantha's arm and looked at it. "Looks like you got shot pretty bad" she said getting some peroxide out. She put a little on a cotton ball and dabbed it around the wound. "Owwww" Samantha said. Miaka took out some tweezers. "This might hurt, and it might not, I've got to get the bullet out" she said placing the tweezers over the bullet. She clamped the bullet and pulled it out slowly. Samantha bit her tongue. Miaka applied more peroxide, then put a bandage over it. Shin walked back in from the other room. "I talked to some old friends, and they said they'd help us, so maybe we can bring the syndicate down" he told them. Samantha rubbed her head. "I'm so tired…"she said ending with a yawn. "You both should try to get some sleep, you've been through a lot today" Miaka said putting up the first aid kit. She walked back into the living room. "I've only got one other room, can you two stay in there together?" Miaka asked opening a door. "Yeah that's ok with me" Shin said looking at Samantha. "Fine with me" Samantha said. "There's two beds so you two don't have to sleep in the same bed" Miaka said. Samantha got up and walked into the room. "I'm gonna stay up, I need to talk to you Miaka" Shin said. Samantha shut the door and laid down in a bed. She could hear the whispers of Miaka and Shin. "It's too dangerous" Miaka said. "We have no choice, and you know that. If we don't do anything the syndicate will just go after her until they kill her, and I'm not going to let that happen" Shin said back. "Shin, I know you care a whole lot about Samantha but this is too dangerous, I already lost one brother and I'm not going to lose another one" Miaka replied. "Lin died doing the wrong thing, and if you do lose me, you'll lose me while I'm doing the right thing" he told her. "I can't stop you, and I know if mom and dad were alive they couldn't either, but please, be careful" Miaka said, her voice lowering. "I will" he said. He walked into the room him and Samantha shared for the night. She quickly shut her eyes. Shin sighed. "I know how this is going to end up" he said to himself quietly. "I'm going to end up like Spike, protecting a woman I love, losing it all. But it's all worth it…" he said. "That's real sweet" Samantha said opening one eye. Shin looked up. "I didn't think you were awake" he said looking at her. "I was faking sleeping" she said with a small smile. Shin returned the smile. "And I also heard what you said to Miaka, I didn't know you cared about me so much you'd risk your life for me" she said sitting up. Shin walked over to where she was and sat down beside her. "You're a real special girl, so much like your mother. I had a feeling you were like her, and now I know you are" he said, leaning closer to her. He kissed her softly on the lips. Samantha smiled to herself. "I didn't expect you to do anything like that…" she said as he pulled away from her. "Let's just say I do a lot of crazy things" he said kissing her again. His tongue slid into her mouth slowly. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. Samantha pulled away. "I don't think we should do this" she said. "Why not?" he asked. "Because this is the same thing that happened to my parents, and I don't want one thing to lead to another" she said moving her hands from around his neck. "It's ok, nothing's going to happen, I promise" he said putting his hand on her hip. She nodded and pulled him back to her, kissing him passionately. He pulled away again. "Samantha, I really like you, but I don't really know what to think, but we should stop" he said breathing heavily. She nodded. "I don't think we should be doing this anyway" she said sitting up. "I'm gonna go to sleep, night" Samantha said pulling a blanket over her. "Yeah, night" Shin said going to his bed.
Ooo0o0o0oh, what's gonna happen with Samantha and Shin???
