"What were you thinking bringing her here like this Gashin?"

"I don't see what the big deal is."

"Oh! The great Gashin doesn't see what the big deal is. The deal is, my friend, is that you don't know who she is or where she came from. For all you know she is a spy."

"My dear dear Reabu. How many years have we known each other?"

"Since we were fifteen."

"Okay, and how many times have you not think that something was a good idea and it turned out fine?"

"But this is totally different Gashin."

"Different how? She was running though the woods covered in blood, and not just her own. She was scared to death about something. Talking about some guy who got killed. That don't sound like any spy that I ever heard of. If in fact she is a spy then you better watch you mouth. But until we know for sure she is to be treated like a guest. Understood?"

"Yes"

"Know tell me how my sister is, and my niece"

Yuna heard no more as she slipped back in to unconsciousness.

After Reabu left, Gashin stayed in the medical ward looking at this nameless woman. This woman who appeared out of no where. Gashin thought back to when she accused him of killing some guy. Yes he was a sniper and he dose have a logbook. But he certainly did not kill anyone who was standing next to her.

'Who are you,' he said to him self, ' and where did you come from?'

"How she doing?" A nurse asked as she walking in and looked at her chart.

"Still out ," Gashin said then left the room. He walked down the hall until he came upon two heavy wooden doors. He pushed them open and walked outside.

The hospital was located on a bluff that overlooked a village. The village was a big one. Seventy-five people lived in it. That was about as big as they get these days.

Gashin could remember when his parents would tell him tail of huge cities with millions of people living in them. Each city would have its very own militia that would protect its people. They said, his parents, that this lead to a huge war between the three biggest cities. Each city had cities following them, twenty-four cities in all were involved in the war.

The war went on for five years. Five million people died, a number that Gashin could not fathom. His parents went on to tell him that finally the people had enough and formed the E.M.D.C.A. and stopped the war.

It was a story that has been passed down for hundreds of years. Gashin's parents heard it from there parents and they heard it from there parents and so on. Gashin did not believe a word of it. His parents were supporters of the E.M.D.C.A. But, ironically, they got killed by a soldier in a raid.

After the death of his parents, Gashin was left to take care of his sister who was four years younger then he was. He also trained to become a sniper, two years he trained. Two years with one thing on his mind, revenge. Revenge on the E.M.D.C.A., revenge for his parents.

When he was fifteen, two years after the death of his parents, he meet Reabu. Reabu, who's family was killed by the E.M.D.C.A., had a band of followers. He asked Gashin to join them. While out on patrol one day they were ambushed by the E.M.D.C.A. All but Gashin and Reabu were killed. After that they went around and found more people to join them. They called them selfs simple "The Brotherhood".

Gashin was a master sniper, the best in the land. The E.M.D.C.A. tried to get him to join them. When they want you to join them they don't ask, they tell. Gashin killed all that tried to get him, thus he got a huge bounty on his head. He became the peoples hero, people were flocking to join the E.M.D.C.A. because of him. Gashin just could not stand all the publicity. So he got out of the spotlight. He no longer acted as a figure head for The Brotherhood. He no longer went out and recruited or appeared in public with Reabu as the leaders. Gashin was still very active in running the organization, just not publicly. Most people now just thought of him as the best sniper in The Brotherhood and that is how he wants it.

As the sun went down, the moon came up and cast a bluish glow on everything. Gashin was walking though the woods to where her meet the woman. He was going to try and follow her path and see where she came from.

When he go to the spot were they meet. He saw were she had come from by the blood on the leaves. It was an easy path to follow. 'She was not trying to hide where she was going,' he thought to himself.

After following the path for about three and a half hours he came upon four dead bodies. Three of them had bullet holes all over them. The last one had only half a head left. ' Did that woman do this. Ether she is very good or very lucky,' he thought to him self.

But the path went on. Gashin followed it for about ten minuets when he found another three bodies. Two of them he could tell were E.M.D.C.A. The other looked strange. He never seen clothes like that before. They almost look like the same style as the womans, almost. He looked at the man, he had a hole in his fore head. Gashin could tell that it was from a sniper rife.

Examining the other two bodies he notice on one of there uniforms there was a Silver "SU" imprinted on the neck. Sniper Unit is what that meant. ' So she got her revenge,' he though shaking his head.

Seeing that the path went on some more he followed it out into an open field. There he saw the escape pod. Gashin walked up to it and look at it. He could not see anything on the outside of the pod. Climbing in to the pod he again saw nothing that would give him a hint of who she was or where she came from.

Gunfire off in the distance. Gashin jumped out of the pod. Laying on the ground he unslung his rifle and turned to were he heard the sound. He waited. More gunfire, this time from he could tell that it was from a machine gun. He could also tell that it was getting closer to where he was. Five minuets is what he estimated it would take for it to get to where he is. That is if they don't stop or turn directions.

Six minuets later Gashin saw them. They were female, two of them. One of them was dressed in black and had gray hair. In one hand she had a sword and in the other one a pistol. The other woman had on, what appeared to Gashin to be a orange bikini top, greenish brown mini skirt with white and blue shoes. She had blond hair done up in lots of breads. There was orange scarf that was trailing behind her as she ran.

Behind them Gashin saw to more people come out of the woods. They were dressed in all black. With out thinking Gashin aimed his rifle and fired taking down one of them. Before the other one had time to realize what was going on Gashin fired again and killed him.

When the two women heard the gun shots they stopped and turned around to see both men drop. Both of them had a gun in there hand looking for where the gun shot came from. The gray haired one started baking up towards the woods.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," Gashin shouted out, "I could kill you both in five seconds."

"Show your self," said the gray haired woman.

"Yeah! Come out you chicken!" said the blond.

"Drop your weapons and I will."

The two women let there weapons drop to ground. When Gashin saw this he slowly got to his feet. His rifle still aimed at them.

"Why were thous men chasing you?" Gashin asked.

"Hell if I know. They shot our ship down and then tried to kill us," the gray haired one said.

"Ship? You mean an airship?" Gashin asked knowing the answer because of the escape pod.

"Well of course a airship. What else would we mean?" the blond said.

"Haven't seen one of thous around here in a long time. Where you from?"

"Spira"

"Never heard of it. Where is it?"

"across the ocean a couple of thousand miles," the blond said with excitement in her voice.

Gashin let up his guard a little bit. 'I guess I can trust them' he thought to him self. He was still a bit weary of the gray haired one though. He could see her eye her weapons. And he know that she had some hidden some were.

"How many of you are there?" Gashin asked.

They looked at each other thinking about what to say. Finely the gray haired one said " There was four of us."

"All female?"

"No, one was a male," the blond said.

Gashin took a deep breath and let it out slowly. He put his rifle back over his shoulder.

"Put your weapons away. I have something to show you,"Gashin said as he turned and walked to the woods.

The women looked at each other. The blond shrugged her shoulders and then picked up her weapons, and followed him. The gray haired one was more hesitant, but finally got her weapons and put them in there holsters. Following Gashin they walked past the escape pod and into the woods. Gashin stopped suddenly and pointed to the dead bodies.

The blond woman gasped and ran towards the strangely dressed man. She laid her head down on his chest and started to cry. Gashin and the other woman stood back and watched her.

"That was...is her brother." she said. Then walked up behind the blond and put her arms around her. " It's okay Rikku, it's okay".

"Paine, where is Yuni? Is she okay? Where is she?" She said as she hugged he tighter.

"I think...I...know were you can find her," Gashin said.
