Hehe the suspense was killing you wasn't it? I sowwi! It's just my head nearly exploded because I'm not used to doing things that include working hard… #sigh# feel my pain.

The funny thing is I have absolutely no idea what I'm gonna write… oh well I'll see what emerges…. TALLY HO!

!Break!

"So I guess I was too late huh? Damn…" Yunsung said sourly, clicking his fingers in mock frustration. Hugo tried to look fierce and hold Talim back but he was beetroot red and it was a surprise his knocking knees hadn't given way to his body.

"Y-y-y-you l-leave T-t-t-Talim alone! Y-y-you hurt her! And I'm here t-t-to p-p-protect her! G-g-got that!" Hugo stammered, stepping forward aggressively. Yunsung stepped forward and put his hand on Hugo's shoulder.

"What's your name?" he asked.

"Hugo…" Hugo replied. Yunsung smiled. He looked at him and saw the passion in his eyes.

"Hmm Hugo." Yunsung chuckled "I like you. You've got guts. You really care about Talim. I can see that. And thank you for being so good to her. I'm not going to make some snide remark. I've got my serious head on. I err… I just wanna say Thanks. Thanks for being kind to Talim. Kinder than I have in fact… but I digress… Ooh big word!" Yunsung started solemnly then grinned at the end. Talim giggled from behind Hugo.

"Sorry I couldn't resist…" Yunsung laughed. Then he turned to Talim. He looked at her like a puppy, his head tilted in curiosity and his eyes were sad. Then he looked at Hugo.

"Can I err… talk to Talim alone?" he asked. Hugo narrowed his eyes at him for a second then looked to Talim who, eventually, nodded. Hugo sighed an ok and kissed Talim on the cheek before leaving. Hugo went upstairs and when Talim heard the door to the living room shut she looked to Yunsung.

"Damn you! If you'd just come to your damned senses yesterday we'd be half way back to the village you infuriating… ARGH!" Talim ranted. Yunsung just stood there, and began to chuckle. "And what may I ask is funny?" Talim asked irritably. Yunsung tried to hold it in but the laughter just kept coming and finally he managed to let out,

"You've got a little vein popping out of the side of your head and you look like your about to explode and… ahahahahaahaahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa! You're…going… purple!"

Talim tutted at his immaturity. "You're an idiot…" she grinned.

"Yeah well… I wouldn't be Yunsung if I wasn't!" he grinned back.

"Stupid twit…why can't I stay mad at him…?"

!Break!

"And stay the hell away from me"Seung Mina yelled at the thief. He held the arm where Mina cut him with her zanbatou and scrambled away as fast as he could. Mina chuckled. "That'll teach him. Damn thieves don't know who they're messing with. I'm carrying

"Alun. How much further?" Seung Mina asked despairingly. Alun twittered loudly once. Mina's eyes widened.

"Uh-uh! Non way! I ain't walkin' a friggin mile! Damn you Talim!" she yelled, cursing the sky. She sighed and slumped herself on the dusty road. Alun looked at her sternly and pecked at her ear to get her up. She merely sighed.

"I'd appreciate that a lot more if you were taller, human and relatively good looking but it's the thought that counts hun." She smiled. She was about to get up and start walking when she saw a shadow fall over her. She looked up and saw a tall man in a large brown cloak. He lifted off his hood and smirked at Mina. She recognised him instantly.

"No way…"

!Break!

"San-San? Sanput where are you? Sanput you said you'd come meet me where are you?" Lidi called out. She searched everywhere for Sanput. High low and everywhere in-between all to no avail. She finally gave up, sat on the grass and began to cry. What she didn't know was that Sanput was in-fact just there behind a huge boulder. Holding his breath so she wouldn't know he was there. He hung his head in shame. "I'm sorry Li-Li… I-I guess I'm just not mature enough yet…"he thought to himself. His wild green eyes were sad and he wanted so badly to go out and hug her but he couldn't. He wasn't being a jerk and he didn't want to hurt her.

He was scared

---------

"San-San? What's wrong?" Lidi asked. He sat there quietly, not touching his food and staring out into the distance. "What? Oh I'm just thinking… about the day before our wedding…" Sanput sighed. Lidi smiled. "Are you still beating yourself up about that?" She asked with a slight chuckle.

"Not really but… Do you think I'm being a little inconsiderate? I mean I was a bit of a coward then and now Yunsung ran off and I was mad at Talim for going after him…but then… you went after me." Sanput said thoughtfully.

"Yup. And I don't regret it for a second." Lidi smiled. Sanput smiled back and stroked her hand. "Do you remember what happened?" Sanput asked Lidi. She nodded.

"Like it was yesterday."

---------

Lidi raised her tear stained face up and looked out into the distance at the rising sun. The sky was a pale shade of pink. "Like Sanput's cheeks when I tell him I love him… Damn it where is he!" Lidi thought angrily. She punched the ground with her fists. "WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU! WE'RE GETTING MARRIED TOMORROW FOR CRAP'S SAKES!" She yelled at absolutely no one. Suddenly she heard a strange noise. At first it sounded like someone being smothered. Then it got louder and Lidi recognised it clearly. "You stupid twit." She said sourly, trying so hard not to grin.

"Sorry! I-I-I hahahahahaha! You SWORE! AHAAHAHAHAHAHA! I-I'VE NEVER HEARD YOU S-S-SWEAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!" Sanput guffawed heartily, rolling out from behind the boulder. He nearly chocked when he saw Lidi staring at him like he was crazy and finally breathed and calmed down. He rolled over on his back and looked at Lidi. His smile faded. "Oh God Li-Li… I-I'm sorry." He sighed. He looked up at her sad brown eyes and sat up with his legs crossed.

"Why did you go? Don't you lo…" Lidi started. Her eyes were beginning to water. Sanput put his finger over her lips. "Don't say it. Don't you dare say it. You could never say I don't love you because I love you with all my heart and I always will." Sanput said firmly. Lidi looked him straight in the eyes and asked,

"So why did you go?" Sanput smiled weakly and stroked her hand. "Fear of commitment. Cowardice. Immaturity. Take your pick! They're all free!" he answered laughing slightly. Lidi giggled. "You're never serious. But it's funny… Hilarious in fact. It's one of the reasons I love you so much… look do you want to get married?" Lidi asked finally. Sanput looked at her, looked at the ground and looked back at her. Slowly but surely he nodded and Lidi hugged him tight. She pulled his face to face hers by his chin and kissed him lightly on the lips.

"Are you always gonna do that?" Sanput asked, his eyes were still closed and he was smiling. Lidi laughed. "Of course!" she grinned. Sanput opened his eyes. "Can we get married now then?" he asked eagerly. Lidi pushed him onto the grass and lay next to him. She smiled at him and asked,

"Will you ever grow up?"

-----------

"… and look at me now! I'm a stuffy old man!" Sanput grinned. Lidi nuzzled his neck. "No your not! You're just safe and a good dad!"

"And the worlds greatest lover?" Sanput asked with a grin. Lidi ran her fingers around the back of his neck. "Hmmm… I wouldn't say that…" she said wistfully. Sanput grinned, stuck his arm round the chair and pinched her bum. She jumped. "Ooh! Cheeky!" Lidi grinned. He pulled her down and kissed her fiercely.

"OH SWEET GODS ABOVE! MY EYES! " Kalana screeched from behind them both, half laughing. They sprang apart almost immediately.

"Filthy kids. Eating each others' faces!" Kalana said, shaking her cane at the two of them. They bowed their heads in mock shame and tried hard not to crack up with laughter. Kalana sighed and her brown eyes shone with laughter.

"Big kids…"

!Break!

"Talim are you… would you… ok… do you hate me enough to shoot me?" Yunsung asked. Talim nodded.

"Do you love me enough to kiss me right this instant?" he asked again. Talim looked at the ground and nodded. Yunsung smiled and lifted her chin so she was looking at him. "Are you gonna talk?" He asked softly. Talim smiled reluctantly. "Yes…" she said quietly.

"You love me I know but, you wouldn't leave with me if I asked right now. I know that so how can I prove to you that I love you just as much!" Yunsung asked pleadingly. Talim looked at him half in humour and half in pity. "Yunsung! I know that much! I know you love me I don't want that proved to me!" she said, managing to stifle a laugh.

"So what then? You want me to suffer because I made you miserable?" Yunsung asked. Talim rolled her eyes. "Believe me if I wanted you to suffer I would've brought my dad here AGES ago…" she said with a smile. Yunsung sighed. "C'mon Talim throw me a bone here! Is there any way… do you want to come back to me!" he asked despairingly. Talim looked at him. He looked desperate. She knew how much he loved her and hell she loved him twice as much! But there were two things stopping her. Two people to be precise. Hugo, and

Assassin.

!Break!

"So what brings you out here?" Seung Mina asked after she'd gotten up. The man looked up into the sky and clenched his fist around his zweihänder (A.N: CLUE!).

"My reasons are my own… but I have to go to the city ahead" he said.

"In that case, do you want to go with us? I'm not exactly in the best shape do defend myself in case of anymore thieves. Whaddya say?" Mina asked. The man looked at her and smirked. "Fine. But only because I pity you…" he said. Mina raised an eyebrow. "… And what exactly are you implying?" she asked. The man chuckled and said simply, "That you are a lesser being. Let's go. I can taste vengeance getting ever closer."

"! When I get my strength back, you're dead."

!Break!

"Look Yunsung there is nothing I would like more than to leap into your arms right now and go straight back to the village but… because of him and what he's done… it wouldn't…" Talim started to say when Yunsung interrupted. "Who? Hugo? Look I know he's been there for you and stuff but you're really gonna have to choose..." he said seriously then Talim interrupted him. "No! Well Hugo is stopping me a little but the main reason is assassin. He will come back again and again trying to blow our relationship to hell and I can't live like that!" She sighed. Yunsung looked at her surprised. "Is that what it is? Well then I guess I'll have to…" Yunsung started with a devious smile. Talim looked at him and asked, "Have to what?"

"Kill him. For you."

!Break!

"Ok we're here." Seung Mina said finally. Looking onwards to the busy streets full of hundreds of people in business suits rushing around to meetings about "the progression of cheese sales" and such, the cars spewing poisonous gasses into the air thus slowly dissolving the ozone layer and shops upon shops upon shops of useless things like coats made out of tissue paper and orange mascara. Mina looked around obviously unimpressed and turned to her travelling companion. "Where exactly do you need to go?" Mina asked him.

"I need to find someone. A formidable fighter but a coward all the same. They call themselves, Assassin." He growled, obviously still angry. Mina grinned. "WOW SNAP!" she laughed. The man looked at her like she was insane and to a slight step back. Mina coughed and calmed down. "I mean I'm looking for the same person. What a small world!" she explained with a smile.

"Yes. Too small…" the man replied. Mina mumbled something about "insulting bastard" under her breath and the man grinned devilishly and thanked her.

Assassin watched this using the projection (out of body experience) technique Sanput taught him that he actually wasn't supposed to know.

"Oh Shite… Just great…"

!Break!

"Goodbye everyone! I think we could bring you all back to the village if you like! You'd be welcome there I can guarantee! Ow! Sarah!" Talim laughed trying to pull Sarah off of her leg.

"I might hold you to that. Bye!" Nicole grinned. Talim hugged her, hugged Sarah and Robert and gave the biggest hug to Hugo and kissed him on the cheek. Yunsung purposely cleared his throat. Talim sighed.

"Don't worry about him. He's just an idiot. Luv ya!" Talim whispered but said the last part just loud enough for Yunsung to hear.

"Ok I've heard enough! Shows over!" Yunsung said loudly he picked Talim up and carried her on his shoulder. "This way I can keep an eye on you." He grinned.

"Told you he was an idiot! PUT ME DOWN! Uh bye you guys!" Talim yelled to her friends who were in fits of laughter. They waved as she got further and further away and they all waved until they couldn't see her anymore.

!Break!

"Will you shut that infernal bird up?" Mina's companion yelled. She held Alun's beak and eventually he stopped squawking. Then she whispered to him, "I don't blame ya Al. Something's gonna go wrong. I know it.

!Break!

Talim and Yunsung were out side Assassin's door. Yunsung didn't bother knocking and just burst in. He looked around and saw nothing.

"He's probably downstairs in his lab. Follow me…" Yunsung whispered. Talim nodded and followed him silently down the stairs.

The light was off. "Strange" thought Yunsung. He flicked the lights on to see Assassin stood there looking furious with a bottle in his hand. "So you think it's funny to betray my trust after all I did for you do you! Well take a whiff of this!" Assassin hissed. He threw the bottle on the floor and held his breath. A white gas started to emit from the shards of the bottle. Talim suddenly became drowsy and fell to the floor. Yunsung was confused. "What the hell! Chlorofo…" he began. Then his knees gave way and he fell to the ground.

"Aahh. The wondrous powers of chloroform…" Assassin thought evilly.

!Break!

Well there you go. It's the best I could do with my brain being like mashed potatoes and all. If you don't like it don't hate me! I'm tiired! See you in chapter 7!
