'farewell my sweet Alan.' Master Tai sighed sadly.

'oh Tai it pains me to leave you like this.' Alan cried.

'yes i know.' Master Tai cried. 'i miss you so much.'

'but i havent left you get.' he sighed.

'i know but the thought of you leaving is painful.'

'i know what you mean my friend.' Alan cried.

'farewell.' Master Tai cried hugging him.

''farewell my friend.' Alan sighed.

The two stood there looking at one another. Kisho and Kisa stood looking at them as they starred at one another. Kisa was holding up a bag for Kisho to take from her. Yunie was crouched at a rock and she looked up. She starred at the two as they reached their arms out for one another to hug one another. Yunie starred at them and then threw a rock at them both. Master Tai and Alan both cried as they held their heads.

'your not very nice Yunie.' cried Master Tai.

'i know.' Yunie sighed and turned back to the rock.

Kisa dropped the bag onto Kisho's foot and he yelled in pain. 'Kisa that hurt!' He looked up but Kisa was walking to Yunie. 'fine don't say sorry.' he sighed.

'Kisa jumped onto Yunie's back. 'what you doing?'

'something.' Yunie smiled looking at the rock.

'ooo that nice...' Kisa muttered reading it. 'Kisho, Yunie, Kisa, Tai and Alan together here as a happy family. Under the stars and moon we are together always...' Yunie and covered the rest up. 'hey why you do that?'

'shhh.' Yunie smiled going red to let her read the rest.

'ooooooooo...Yunie got the hots.' Kisa smiled happily.

'i do not.' Yunie yelled chasing her.

'ummm you two.' Kisho muttered as they ran around them as Yunie chased Kisa. 'ummmm stop it.'

'get here you.' yelled Yunie.

'Yunie's got the hots.' Kisa yelled happily.

'get here you.'

Kisho sighed and grabbed Kisa and held her up and grabbed Yunie. 'both of you behave. Tai have you finished?'

'yes i have.' he sighed.

'good take Kisa.' Kisho passed her over to Master Tai.

'farewell all.' came Alan as her waved goodbye. Everyone turned to him and waved goodbye as he rode off.

'i will miss you my friend.' Master Tai sighed.

'oh god...your over doing it.' Yunie starred at him.

Kisho climbed onto the horse and pulled Yunie onto it. Yunie laid on him as they all rode off. They rode in the warmth of the sun. It was a nice clear day and their was a gentle breeze blowing as they rode on. Kisa was teasing Yunie once again like she was earlier. Master Tai was enjoying the scenery as they rode through the mountains which began to become green as they began to reach the end of the mountains. Kisho began to fall back as Master Tai and Kisa was ahead. Yunie loked at him.

'hey what wrong?' Yunie asked.

'its about last night.' Kisho muttered uneasy.

'wow Kisho i have never seen you like this before.' Yunie muttered looking at him.

'look last night...i was thinking...maybe...i mean...oh for fuck sake.' he growled at himself.

'umm Kisho...you have a problem in telling me something?' Yunie asked turning her body around to face him.

'well...i never usually talk about how i feel to anyone. I don't tell anyone anything but it bugging me so so much.' he sighed. 'i need to tell someone and Yunie.' he looked at her. 'i trust you.'

Yunie smiled at him with a rare gentle soft smile. 'very well tell me.'

Kisho smiled back at her and took a deep breathe. 'Yunie...i am thinking of stop my mission in chasing her down. I was told not all orders have to be followed and she seems to behaving herself so it ok and also i want to get a...' he stopped and he became quiet. A look of anger came upon him and he looked away. '...and i want to stop being a soldier and just live a normal life.'

'hey Kisho i can't stop you but hey that sounds get. If you want to you should. I think want you choose will be for the best.' Yunie smiled at him. 'after all this i want to stop travelling myself and settle down myself one day. You know people can't tell you what to do or how to feel. It is all you. So whatever you choose i will be happy for you and you should be happy in yourself in what you do. Also Kisho if you ever get lost or confused i want you to go to that place we was just at. There is something there that i think might help you if you are ever lost or confused.'

Kisho went slightly red and smiled at her. 'you know Yunie. I knew i talk to you.'

'Kisho has the hots.' came Kisa's voice.

The two looked up and saw that they had gone to their side. Kisa was repeating the same thing over and over again.

'Kisa shut up.' Kisho yelled.

'Kisho got the hots.' she yelled.

Tai and Yunie began to laugh. Then came a unfamilar voice. 'so Kisho you going to quit? My the master will not be pleased with this.'

Everyone looked up and upin a great white horse was a man about Kisho's age. He had black hair and blues eyes. He was wearing dark armor and he looked at them evilfully, He carried a great sword and his horse walked over to them. Kisho starred at him evilfully and everyone became quiet.

'what am i ruining your fun?' he asked.

'get lost Jed.' Kisho demanded.

'well you see the master began to get annoyed. I mean you are taking to long.' Jed said looking at them.

'i don't care.' Kisho said. 'am not going back. Am going to my home and staying there.'

'ah Kisho.' Jed sighed. 'so what you going to settle down and get married. Please. You are a emotionless man and you will never change. All you care about is completing missions and to get a thrill out of killing. All you do is use and decieve people.'

'hey blackie.' Yunie snapped. 'am the only one who can insult Kisho.'

'so who the hell you think you are? His girlfriend?' Jed muttered.

'i am not his girlfriend.' screamed Yunie.

'well your lucky other wise you would of ended up like the last one. Dead.' Jed muttered.

'huh?' Yunie looked at him. 'dead?'

Kisho starred at him. 'that wasn't my fault.'

'you sure about that?' Jed muttered. 'it was your sword that killed her.'

'shut up.' yelled Kisho.

'awww Kisho. You know if you quit i get to take your place and to do what i want.' Jed smirked. 'so go ahead and quit. I don't mind.'

Kisho starred at him. 'now you want me too quit?'

'yes i do.' he smiled. 'am sure i would catch the Demon Fire Cat in half the time it is taking you.'

'you think so?' came her voice.

Everyone turned around and saw her stand there. Her sword was drawn and it was pointing at them. She starred at Kisho evilfully and moved the sword so it was pointing to him. Jed drew his sword and pointed it at Shi. Shi looked at him and sighed.

'your stupid little boy.' she snarled. 'if you know what is good for you. You would stay out of this.' she looked at Kisho. 'i have a score to settle with you.'

'you still mad at me about the other night?' he sighed.

'of course you bastard. After everything i said to you.' she growled.

'see what i mean.' Jed smirked. 'he will never change. He is a selfish and cold harded.'

'i agree.' Shi smirked and she spun around and attacked Jed causing him to fall backwards. 'get out of here or i will have to kill you.'

Jed starred at her. 'make me.'

Shi turned to him with her hand on fire. 'what did you say?'

'am out of here.' he said walking away. 'oh Kisho don't forget you place and job.'

Everyone watched as he disappeared. Master Tai walked infront of Kisho and looked at Shi. Shi looked back at him and she lowered her sword. Kisho starred at them and Yunie walked to Kisho's side holding Kisa who ran to her. Kisa jumped into Kisho's arms and hugged him tightly.

'so Shi what you doing?' Master Tai asked her.

'what you want old man?' she growled.

'Shi are you killing because of your dreams or is there another reason behind it?' he asked her.

'its none of you god damn business.' growled Shi starring at Kisho. 'now get out the way.'

'Shi are you still mad at me?' asked Kisho.

'mad...mad doesn't describe on how i feel.' yelled Shi. 'now out the way old man. I need to speak to him.'

'Shi. Don't let anger blind you. Don't let yourself be surrounded by anger and by darkness.' he said. 'you know Shi, your not alone and that dream of yours will someday come true Shi.' Master Tai stepped aside and Kisho and Shi stared at one another.

'so what you wanna say to me Shi?' asked Kisho.

hi rose her sword and went for Kisho. Blood splatted on the floor and Kisho landed on the floor holding Kisa. Yunie stood in kisho's place holding her side as blood poured down. Shi stood backwards and holding her side and she disappeared in flames. Yunie smiled and landed on the floor. Kisa jumped down and ran too Yunie. Kisa smiled sweetly and healed her wounds. Kisho helped up Yunie and Master Tai walked to Yunie. Yunie looked at him.

'come over here Yunie.' he said.

'oh ok.' Yunie said walking off with Master Tai.

Kisa jumped into Kisho arms and they both watched as Yunie and Master Tai walked away, far enough so no one could hear them speak. Yunie stopped and then looked at Master Tai.

'so what you want?'

'why do you let...' he began.

'you know i cant control it.' she sighed.

'look until it comes true and the one comes i cant do anything.' Yunie said walking back to the other two.

'oh Yunie.' he sighed. 'its taking over. Can't you see?'
