Chapter 7

"You wanted to see me?" said Yuan.

Kratos looked at Anna. She understood, he was the friend that Kratos could trust. The one that would send her to Koki. The one who can make her life worse too. Anna made a small and silent sigh. She looked at the two men talking silently.

"So she's the Angelus Project?" asked Yuan turning towards her way. Anna gulped and looked at him, sweat coming on her forehead. Her hands were trembling. Why was he looking at her that way? Yuan did seem like a nice guy, but inside those eyes, he seemed to be worry and angry at something. Anna scooted herself far away from Yuan. What was going on into that mans head?

"So... Are you going to help me to go back to the ranch?" asked Anna looking at Yuan with pleading eyes. Yuan looked at her then back at Kratos.

"What have you done now."

Kratos gave a low growl, they left Anna alone in the camp that Kratos had made. Kratos and Yuan both walked out of the camp for awhile, to have a little chat.

"You know, he will be furious," said Yuan speaking in a low voice.

Kratos fallowed his league, "Do you not think I would know that? I don't know why I did it. I wasn't thinking! I didn't even know she was the Angelus Project, until a day ago! What should I do?..."

Yuan stood there thinking of a plan, surely he didn't want Kratos to be punished, but yet again. Yuan disapproved his plans, they were wrong. Martel would never allow it, she would be miserable because of what he had done. Surly he had to stop it.

"I can take care of that," he said walking towards Anna who was watching the fire dancing in the dark. She looked up at him with her brown eyes. She stood up and bowed down.

"Food is ready... That's if you wish to stay."

Yuan looked at Kratos, who shrugged, and nodded. He sat down and Anna gave him some food that she had done earlier. She also gave some to Kratos, who thanked Anna. It was just a rice ball and some water. She was pretty good at cooking something, but she needed practice of course. Once everybody had finished eating Yuan stood up. He looked at Kratos, who was looking at Anna.

"Pack your things," said Yuan not turning to Anna. Kratos now looked at Yuan, leaving Anna shocked gaze. Yuan nodded and now looked at Anna.

"Well?"

Anna looked at Kratos, "What about Kratos?"

Kratos head was down. Anna knew that she would never see him now, he would be leaving her with his friend. If so, what would he be doing? Where in the world would he be?

"He will not come, the road you wish to go, will be to dangerous."

Anna stood there dumbfounded. Was he serious? She looked at Kratos with pleading eyes. He wasn't looking at her. She gave a small sigh and walked to get her old clothes from Triet and the Iselia Ranch. She walked to Yuan and looked at him, determine to go back.

"I'll go now," she said whispering, looking at Kratos. Yuan noticed this and nodded, grabbing her clothes.

"I'll be by the river near here, if not, meet me by the bridge."

Anna nodded and watched Yuan leave. Once she saw no more of him, she turned around and saw Kratos looking at the fire. He was staring at it for quite sometime. They stood there for a minute or two not talking. What would they say to each other?

"So... Where are you going now?"

"I'm a mercenary, I will keep doing my job."

"I see... Well I wish you the best of luck then!"

"Hmph..."

"Alright... Well I'll miss you and thank you too."

"Sure." He stood up and walked the other way. He was going to leave her. She then started to count to ten.

One.

He passed the tree that Anna laid when Yuan and him where talking.

Two.

He was disappearing now, leaving her with the burning fire still there.

Three.

He stopped and looked down, not bothering to look back.

Four. Screw it. Screw counting to ten. He was leaving her. She would at least give him something to remember her by.

"Wait!" yelped Anna running towards him. Kratos stopped his tracks and looked back. He saw Anna running towards him, holding something.

"Just in case you forget me, have this, I got it on the way to Ossa Trail. It was one of the first things that I bought in Triet. Here."

She handed him a small ring that had a water lily in it. It wasn't very colorful, it was just plain silver. It wouldn't had fit Kratos finger, maybe Anna's so she put it in a chain and put it around Kratos neck. Anna smiled and began to turn away.

"I have a feeling we'll see each other soon!"

She then began to run, towards the direction that Yuan had left. Kratos stood there, looking at the ring.

'Idiot, does she really think that she'll survive? She's the Angelus Project for Martels sake, she'll never make it. She'll turn into that... that hideous thing if the Project fails.'

Kratos shook his head and stopped looking at the ring. He then began to walk away.
