It was not expected when Sakura moved first to whack Emilia over the head, but Emilia was quick to swing her blade for her. Meanwhile Adven spared no time going after his hated rival Jet with multiple jabs that Jet could only put up his arms and block in defense. However as the four get thrown together Sakura lashes out at Adven with a fist, but Adven dares not respond with his own attack and in a nervous confusion simply falls to the floor and fails to stand up.

Jet who was caught up with rage at Adven winds up swinging fists at Emilia who parries the attacks with her sheathe. Two sai come between the two Maxwell Gang members, but before they can attack Sakura the woman with blue-silver hair is caught up by the bandana Adven had worn around his head.

With a grimace she falls to the floor. "Hey!"

"It's for your own good." Adven replies as he tries to look back at the other two only to have Emilia thrown into him causing the two to fall onto Sakura. Adven's lips brushing against hers. She bites him, and he quickly gets up in a nervous stutter only to be tripped up by Jet who stood nearby. Headbutting Emilia, Sakura stands still tied up in Adven's bandana. She glares at Jet who holds a bit of a humorous look. Too bad he got a headbutt to his forehead as well.

As he falters back she grabs Emilia's blade and cuts herself free. Emilia quickly stood and snatched the blade back and the two women glared at one another. "I'm the one who uses a sword most of the time. I deserve the Raven's Wing!" Emilia argues.

"Will you shut up about that!" Jet retorts as the two meet, the forearm with the sword is caught in Jet's hand. Jet's other hand in a fist flies into Emilia's forehead where Sakura had earlier attacked. The women who was great with ARMs and a sword fell to the ruin floor as Jet turned to Sakura.

"That leaves me and you." Sakura blushed.

"Right...how do I handle you?"

"Look...I want that sword...I don't want to fight you."

"The same goes for me." Jet stood in confusion as to how he should handle this woman he had an unknown attraction to. Would he fight Virginia? No, he wouldn't. Could he? He would think he would once immediately be able to say he could kill Virginia had he the need to, but now he was not so sure. The same could be said for Sakura to some extent.

Before Jet could say anything more Sakura closed her eyes as to not see what she would do as she attacked the man that she loved. Before she knew it she was lying on the floor with Adven and Emilia passed out atop her. "What the?"

Jet grinned. "I win." He looks ahead. "Raven's Wing is mine." He blew a sigh of relief. He could not hurt Sakura, but he had done efficient defensive counters and detained her. He saw piles of gella that he would get for such a sword, and he dashed off to find it.

"Jet!" Sakura shouted as she fought to get the two bodies off her. "Get up you two!" She banged on the two of them. Stopping to look at Adven's face. "Adven...are you just in shock?" She pokes his open eyes.

Sitting up in response he scans the room furiously. "What's going on? Where's Jet?"

"He's getting away!" Sakura shouts as she gets out from under Emilia. Adven helps her up and begins to run, but she stops.

"What's wrong?" He questions.

"My ankle...I think it's sprained." She stares at him. "You'll have to carry me."

"What?" He squeaked. "M-me?"

"Well...no one else conscience here, is there?"

"Ah...right." He picks her up on his back and as her breast touch his back his face goes a livid red. Deciding the faster it gets done the better and he can get a breath in.

I'll keep it short today. I've been writing a lot of other things.

I didn't mean that this was the longest WA story, I meant that this is the longest story of my own that I've written for Of course, my novel I have just finished that's totally different than any of my fanfiction called 'Singing in My Sleep' (that was a bit of a commercial, wasn't it?) which I finished off at 300 pages, but that grows by a bit as I revise it. I think it's at 303 now. Not including the bonus chapter made up of things I threw out of the novel along the way.

Fan fiction, a way for me to write fantasy fiction and still write this 'contemporary/ mainstream' fiction that people like me better for...sigh, no one will ever like me for Nomadic Diga: SAND...but yet it always haunts me. I guess technically though totally rewritten and not the same your reviewing this version of NDS counts as someone liking it. That inspires me, so thank you for that.

Tomorrow I finish the story which will come off as a disappointment for the group and then I will follow it up with a story arc that may last all week that regards a tournament where fighters meet and combat (a thing that sort of happens in all of my stories that are fantasy, or action-oriented so no negative comments), and also don't bother to mention Gunner's Heaven, this isn't the same, and I'll be making something of my own fashion. So...I ranted a little too much, good-bye for now.
