K? lol, so i'm glad that there are so many of you out there who appreciate this story, I really didn't like it, and got bummed after reading it... and then with my grandmother in a coma, I couldn't find any time to write, what with being at the hospital 24/7, and then after all that cleared up I was just too sick, and very tired... I was emotionally drained over all. But I have been writing still... just haven't really finished anything other than one-shotter's yet.. haha, but I hope you guys like this one! Ja ne! (See ya!)

Disclaimer: If i'd owned it I would have never ended the series! lol

Kazuma growled as he ran through the thick brush, his head pounding and his body aching from the fatiuge of running for so long. He had heard her, if but only for a moment he had heard Kanami. He'd be damned if he let her die now! She was his only hope of redemption, and his life could only do just cause to faing up to this. He needed her to move on with his life.

In truth redemption was a forsaken thing, he really didn't know if he desereved. He came to another clearing, his eyes burning as he ran through the long grass of th feild. He could feel her, she was close now, letting off a warm aura, and yet at the same time it was bone-chilling. He could only hope that he wasn't too late as he crossed the path to get to a large builing, it was dark, the sun having set hours ago, leaving the world lost in the calm of night.

"You seem troubled." Came the soft voice of a woman as she stood before Kazuma, her eyes shining in the moons light. Her eyes were a ruby he had never seen, her heair auburn and curled into rignlets, the dark tresses falling about her pale face. He looked at her, taken aback, and then walked past her.

"You seem lost." He said before once more continueing his task of getting to the building. He sighed as the door was unlocked, as if waiting for him. 'I'm ready.' he thought as he stepped into the darkness, the thick are making him cough lightly. It was too dark in the place, he found himself stumbling around the small foyer.

"Your the lost one." The woman stood in the doorway, her lips curved into a seductive smile as she stepped in. "Your little girlfriend is already dead, so theres no use in fighting, just surrender now." The woman smirked as she saw his eyes, they burned a fiery red that no-one else could ever have possesed. He growled as he called out his alter, his body transforming into a deadly weapon.

The woman gasped as she dodged his first attack, she couldn't help but to admit to herself, he was good.

Kanami could feel the pressure on her wrists get stronger, her face contorted in pain as she felt hersef waking. Really, this was one time she wished she could pass out. Her chest felt like it was on fire, stinging from the sweat that soaked her body. Her head was pounding, and she looked at the far wall, the light had dimed, and now was but a faint whisp of silver on the door of her prison. She coughed again from the dust that hing in the air.

Her heart was pounding in her chest as she tried desperately to gain footing on the smooth wall, and give her arms a break from the shackles that were now cutting into her small wrists. She felt her stomache clenche as she moved her left leg, and a shooting pain made her scream, her eyes darkening as she looked down the best she could. All she could see was blood, deep red and sticky, she almost wanted to throw up at the sight, but she forced herself not to.

Her small hands were clenched, her nails digging into the soft flesh of her palms as she gritted her teeth, the pain becoming unbearable as she felt the cold air in the room. She took in a sharp breath, trying to focus on somthing other than the pain filling her body. She let her body fall limp, trying her hardest to get rid of the throbbing now coursing through her entire body. She arched off the wall, her cries becoming more pleafull as she sobbed. This truly was the worst pain she had ever felt in her life.

Her powers were activating, but she tried her hardest to hold them back. She felt herself calling out, felt her body giving way to her plea, her words soffocated as her mind screamed out for help. 'Please... Help me... Kazu-kun, I can't do this on my own! Help me!' She sobbed as her cries vanished, leaving her crying, the tears stinging as they cae out of her sore eyes.

She could feel it, his prescence was near. She could feel his will to fight, his deterination, his... guilt? Her eyes widened as she teared up. No! That's exactly what she didn't want! His pity was somthing that would set her on edge, make her feel lost, and her thoughts would once more become nostalgic upon the way things were... not that she regreted anything that happened when they were younger, it was just her life.

She had wanted to froget what he used to do, used to feel. She remembered she was a burden, always getting herself into trouble or getting kidnapped, and then pestering him, calling him a bum, and causing him to feel bad. She had never truly known until the day Kimishima had died. That day she had found out so much about who he was, so much about what she had never known about him.

She found herself drifting away once more, her body getting colder as she could feel the blood draining fro her body.

Kazuma side-stepped avoiding another attack to his head, this woman sure was full of surprises, first she shows up out of nowhere, then all of the sudden she had an intense alter power, she was now sending metal crashing into his general direction, and he hissed in pain as it hit his arm from his block. This was certainly not what he had expected from her, nor anyone for that matter.

He shot his attack at her, his voice ringing out in the seemingly empty building. "SHINING FIRST BULLET!" He cried out as he spun in a circular motion, his attack hightened by the sheer power behind his fist. He watched in horror as the woman fell, clearly not expecting this from him. She clutched her shoulder, her heart thumping in her ears as she cried out in pain. "Brine! Strane! I NEED YOU!" She cried and Kazuma sighed as he knew the fight was indeed, not over... yet again.
