Okay, sorry about ending the last chapter like that. I'll try not to do that again. Anyway . . . Oh my gosh! I'm such an idiot! I can't believe I didn't realize I did this! Why didn't any of you tell me that I spelled "Blank" wrong in my summary. Of all the words to spell wrong . . . Blank! How does one spell blank wrong. I knew I was bad at spelling, but that's just pathetic! Anyway, yeah, I'm gonna change that ASAP. . . . I still can't believe I did that . . . How embarrassing.

Aisler : I'm sorry, Aisler. I went back and read over my fan fic and I realized that I did do that little "action command" thingy; but not in my actual fan fiction, it was in my disclaimer. Hmm, oh well. At least I didn't insult you at all. I'm glad. And I really appreciate your compliments. They 're very encouraging. I'm also glad I'm not making the story too obvious (for a while there, it definitely felt like I was since you and Linker27 both figured out something that I hadn't mentioned in the story yet). As for Garron and Blank, you're gonna have to wait a bit longer to find that one out. Sorry. I'm happy that there are people out there who find my fan fic interesting and hopefully exciting once the story gets going.
P.S. uhh gee, as much as I appreciate you telling me your gender, I kind of already knew that. That's what author bios are for. Lol sry if I embarrass you at all by saying that.

Linker27 : YAY! I'm sooo happy you like my fic! Your enthusiasm definitely encourages me to keep writing. THANK YOU!

Gem : Nope, it's not his sister, but that was a good guess. I did make her look kind of like Blank since she has red hair and all. That was juat a coincidence. And don't worry, I'm not gonna stop writing until this story is over. Thanx for the review!

Disclaimer : BUUUUUURRRRRRNN! . . . . . . . . . . . . Hee hee . . . Fire!

Chapter four
Joining Forces

"My name . . . is Garron." The man snickered. "Do you recognize me now?" he asked, smiling sinisterly.

Kaira stood wide-eyes, staring at the man. "Garron?" she said in shock.

"That's right Kaira, the man who destroyed your home and enslaved your people for years."

"Yeah, I've heard all about you and what you did to them. But ... I wasn't even there when it happened. I didn't live with the Gerudo until about a year after you left, I've only heard stories of you and what you did to them," she replied, referring to the group of people that she lived with (Yes, I took that from Zelda, but I don't own them either). "And what do you mean by you know 'all about my past'!" she started getting frustrated with him.

But the man ignored her, he was focused on something behind her. The girl turned around to see what he was looking at.

"Ahh, how convenient!" Garron exclaimed. "The two people I want to kill just so happen to be in the same place at the same time. Well Blank, that saves me the trouble of trying to find you again." Blank just stood there, glaring at him with a massive hatred burning behind his blindfold.

Kaira stared at Blank, puzzled at what was going on. "So why do you want him dead?" she asked as she turned back to face Garron. " . . . HEY WAIT A MINUTE! Why do you want ME dead! Answer that question first!"

"Like I said, Kaira. I know all about your past, further back than you can remember. To the parts of your past that have been erased from your memory." The baffled girl continued standing there, not saying a word. She didn't know how to reply to something like that.

"Stop speaking in riddles and tell us what the hell you want?" Blank interrupted, getting frustrated and annoyed with the shadowy armored man. "How do you know us?"

"All these questions and more will be answered in due time, my son. But not until I get to see you both suffer a little." Once again, Garron got the last word, turning away and disappearing into the crowded streets.

"Oh ok. As long as all you wanna do is torture us, then i guess it's alright with me," Kaira joked, wondering to herself how she could still joke around at a time like this. Altough, she never could take things seriously.

"Son?" Blank stood staring out in the direction of the man's leave, his expression now the same as the bewildered girl in front of him.

The girl then turned around to face Blank and the others. "So, uh . . . I take it you know this freak."

"Not exactly," replied Blank.

"Yeah," Zidane added, "We're just as lost about who he is as you are."

" . . . No, I think you're more lost than I am."

"Well, maybe you could fill us in then, tell us what you know," suggested Marcus, although he wasn't sure if that would help much.

"You boys are bein' so rude!" Ruby butted in after staying quiet the whole time. "Ya'll er askin' the poor cowgirl fer so much and not even askin' her if she's got a place to stay." Ruby sighed.
"Men never ask the important questions." Then Ruby started ranting a little about how guys never do anything right, until Kaira finally shut her up.

"Anyway, thanks for asking, but I think I'll manage. Kilala and I have been traveling for a while now, and we've had to cope with some pretty bad resting spots. So don't waste your time worrying about us."

"Oh give me a break!" Zidane reentered the conversation, "If you've been traveling alone and roughing it for so long, then you can't possibly say that you don't want a nice, warm bed to sleep in for once .. . I mean, not that I'm talking about the same bed as someone else. You can have your own bed. Unless, of course, you want to sleep in the same bed as someone else; and if that's the case than I'll be more than happy to-"

"Zidane, shut up while you're ahead!" Baku interupted him just in time. Zidane had gotten better about being a "one woman man" since he had gotten together with Garnet, but he still couldn't help himself sometimes. Old habits are hard to break.

"Um...well, I guess a place to stay would be nice."

"And don't you wanna know more about that mystery bastard?" added Baku. "If you stay with us, we can help each other out."

Kaira thought about this a moment, not sure what to do. She had been raised by a group of all female bandits, so she didn't look too highly of men. Well they seem harmless enough, she thought to herself.I suppose it wouldn't hurt anything to stay with them.Besides, they saw how good I fight. I don't think they're stupid enough to try anything. "Okay, I'll come with you and tell you what I can. But I can't guarantee if I'll br able to help you or not."

lol, first I leave you with a cliff hanger and now I leave you with a real short chapter. I'm not being very nice am I? Ha ha, oh well! . . . Just kidding! I was in a hurry to update so I left the chapter about half the size I normally make them. Anyway, I hope you liked this chapter and I hope I update soon! Please, review and tell me what you think.
