Yeah. So. Here I am. After a couple weeks' sleep. T'was good. You know… Resting that much. T'was really good. Anywho, it's the next chapter. Yay! And Whoo! And stuff! Lolz. I'm so silly. Anyway, anyway this chapter 7! O.o Wow. Chapter 7?

Gah! Sue me.. o.o I mean, I don't own Darkstalkers?

Chapter 7

"Andyou're sure of this?"

"Yes. I'm pretty sure. I mean, I tasted her power. And I felt how close they were to each other. So, yea I'm sure," Jedah said from across the room. He was seated, dressed in all black, with accents of silver and white here and there on his suit, in one of the two chairs that faced the office table in front of him. Fully equipped with the cliché stack of papers and a computersittingoff to the side. It even came with the executive figure seated in the swivel chair that went with the desk.

To Jedah's left-hand side sat Jon, sitting almost motionless, taking in the whole room with small eye movements. He had his hair tied back in a tight ponytail and wore similar clothes from the day before, with a slight color change; deep grey slacks and a matching blazer. He didn't look as if he enjoyed it in this office, but he also couldn't leave Jedah in here by himself. Who knew what this guy might do to him.

"Interesting. I didn't think that Morrigan would have started collecting her energy sources already." The man gave a small chuckle, making the woman on his right giggled a bit, more out of habit than really finding anything the man said funny. "I haven't even sent one of my people over to see her. No fight has begun and yet here she is gathering her pawns." He laughed again and the woman joined in, in a sort of girlish echo.

Jedah sighed and ran his hand through his hair, catching stray strands that had floated in his face. Jon gave him a sideways glanced then focused he attention on the other man in front of him. Both of them were getting tired of sitting in this office coming up with answers that they barely had. Jon thanked Jedah for that slip up.

"Am I boring you?" the man asked.

"No, it's just that… Since I helped you out, them maybe.." he shrugged, "I dunno." Jedah rubbed his temple and sighed again, "Is there any thing else you wanted to ask me?"

"Impatient as always," he said and the woman giggled softly. "Well I do have one more question. When you said that you felt 'how close they were to each other' what did you mean by that?" The man leaned in, closer to his desk, so that his elbows rested on the surface.

Jedah rolled his eyes and slouched in his chair, his head bowed down so that he watched his feet as he spoke. "It means that through Lily I tasted Morrigan. I dunno what she did, or what they did to do that. But it felt pretty big."

"'Pretty big' as in?"

Jedah slowly let his eyes roll upward to meet the other man's gaze, "Meaning that if it were to grow any larger and they were to somehow combine that power… You wouldn't stand a chance." He smirked and opened his mouth to say something else, but his phone went off.

Sitting up straighter than before, he answered the phone, eyeing the man who sat across the room, "Yea..? Huh..? Just stay there for a while. I should be there in a couple…" Then he flipped closed the phone and shoved it back into his pocket. "Sorry. Business."

"It's quite alright. I was thinking anyway."

Jedah rolled his eyes again and slumped in his seat again. He was getting comfortable. Might as well, seeing as he was going to be here for a while.

"Nnnh…" Lilith rolled onto her side and stared at the wall. She blinked lazily, letting her eyes take in anything and everything in Morrigan's room. The pictures that hung on the walls, vases here and there, scattered around, some with plants and some just for show. She closed her eyes and held them closed for what seemed like a couple of seconds, and then opened them slowly again. Did the room get a bit darker? Sighing, Lilith let her eyes follow the line up to were the clock sat on the wall. 7:34pm "Hmm…" She yawned a bit and rolled onto her back, staring up at the ceiling.

7:34? What? Lilith turned her head back to the wall with the clock and double-checked the time. 7:35pm. It took a moment for her to realize how late it was. She sat up with a shock and fumbled at the sheets covering her. "I overslept! I overslept.." She said as she thrashed at the covers. "I can't believe she didn't wake me up! Ahh!" She cried out a bit and just stopped trying to get out. She couldn't think like this, not and get out the bed at the same time.

Taking a deep breath she sat up again, resting on the palms of her hands. Then grabbed her glasses from the little side table that sat near the head of the bed. While she was fixing the frames of her glasses she heard, from a corner of the room, soft laughter.

"I didn't know you were this frantic when you first wake up." As she spoke you could tell that she had a smirk on her face, by the tone of voice.

Lilith turned her attention towards the voice in the corner and knew who had said that. It was her room and bed she fell asleep in, "I'm not like this in the morning." Lilith sighed and drew her legs out from underneath the sheets. The change had left her feeling chilly, making her rethink that decision and slip her legs back where they were. "I overslept. And I usually don't, okay? Not even for a nap…" She said the last bit to herself, softly.

Morrigan took a couple of steps towards the bed, making just her outline visible to her whole body and part of her face. She held her hands out to the side and shrugged slightly, "Okay, okay." Morrigan grinned, though it was hardly noticeable in this lighting. She made her way to the lamp standing on the opposite side of the bed where Lilith was now sitting. There was still sunlight outside. But from the position of this room, it was much darker than any of the other rooms facing the horizon.

Lilith blinked as the lights went on and watched Morrigan take a seat on the bed, placing her back to the younger girl. Lilith's eyes traced over the length of Morrigan's hair and felt compelled to touch it, to run her fingers though it, just to bury her face in the softness of it. She shook her head and locked her gaze onto her own lap, "I forgot when I came up here. How long did I sleep?"

"Six and a half. I think," Morrigan replied while she removed her shoes.

"Hours, right?" Lilith looked at her hands, anything to keep her from looking back at the woman on the edge of the bed.

Morrigan nodded; both shoes off and unbuttoning her shirt.

The younger girl swallowed, almost loud enough for her to hear it and drew her knees up to her chest, wrapping her arms around them, "Oh."

"Oh..?" Morrigan said as she leisurely faced Lilith. "That's it? You're usually more talkative than this, Lilith…" she said softly as she got to all fours on the bed towards Lilith. Morrigan's top was off leaving only her black satin bra that matched the dress pants she still had on.

The small bed movement caused Lilith to bury her face in the sheets that covered her knees. It was always like this. This feeling as if her heart was trying to beat its way out of her chest and fly into Morrigan's. She closed her eyes tightly and tried to calm herself down. But it wasn't working. She looked as if the boogey man had come from under her bed and was creeping closer for the catch.

"Lilith…" Morrigan had crawled close enough that the whisper had crawled over Lilith's ear.

When did she get this close, Lilith thought. The girl's body tensed as she felt Morrigan's breath against her skin. It sent chills down her spine and caused goose bumps to creep across her skin, "Mo… Morrigan..?"

"Hmm..?" the older woman leaned in a bit more to place a kiss on Lilith's cheek then bit at her ear gently.

Morrigan had kept her hands to herself, but it was her mouth that did most of the touching. Lilith couldn't think much whenever Morrigan was this close and kissing. It was really, really distracting, "Morrigannn…" Lilith whined softly as she tried to scoot away from all this interest, but didn't get very far. She tried to think of something to distract the other woman, "Where's… where's Zabel and Mei—"

"They left a couple of hours ago…" she said, getting as close as she could to Lilith. So close that Lilith could feel the press of Morrigan's chest against her arm. The girl's cheeks flushed as she looked to the opposite side of the room, the side without Morrigan's body in the way.

What Morrigan had forgotten to mention was the power struggle that went on, between herself and Lei-Lei. It was the reason why they left a couple of hours ago and not sooner. Zabel couldn't get up from where he was sitting and Mei-Ling and Lei-Lei were knocked out for the night. They were still sleeping when Zabel (after he knew how to walk again) had carried both of the sisters tohis car.

Grinning at the reaction she got, Morrigan sat on her knees and licked at Lilith's cherry pink cheeks, in a quick flick of her tongue and laughed softly.

Lilith was trying so hard to calm down. She had been getting better at managing the effect Morrigan had on her body. But the lick, suddenly called her back from that sanctuary, where she hid, before she lost herself to Morrigan's lust. She tried moving over again, but there was no more bed for her to scoot over on. From the floor, landing on her rear andsurrounded by the spill of sheets, Lilith looked up blushing at a smirking Morrigan.

The older woman, still grinning, reached down and took Lilith's glasses and tossed them on a pile of pillows that sat at the end of the bed. Lilith's ruby eyes followed the path her glasses flew and turned back to Morrigan, set to say something about tossing her glasses halfway across the room. But wasn't able to get at least one word out. Morrigan had eased herself low enough, that when Lilith had turned her head back, their lips brushed. It froze the girl, like every touch of the lips did to her. Morrigan grinned and kissed Lilith's bottom lip gently, smirking as Lilith's jaw started to go slack.

Morrigan kissed her upper lip and whispered against the girl's mouth, "I can't kiss you nicely if you have your mouth open."

"Uh…" Lilith's eyes fluttered and she tried to say something, but nothing seemed to be working correctly. Not when Morrigan was, literally, a breath away.

"Unless you don't want me to…" Morrigan said as she licked at Lilith's lips, "kiss you."

Something inside of her wanted so badly to kiss back or to just let Morrigan have her way, and when that thought kicked in, Lilith began to use her hands to inch away from the woman on the bed. Why was it so hard for her to do just that? Why did she want nothing else but to be teased by Morrigan?

Still leaning over the bed, Morrigan laughed a bit and drew back slowly, "If I tried to come and get you the way I was, I might end up on top of you." She moved and rested on her side, propped up on her elbow. The woman gave Lilith a smirk and tugged at the sheets that were still caught under the girl's body. "If you move any farther away, all the sheets will end up on the floor…"

Lilith stopped moving back but was moving forward. Because Morrigan was pulling on the sheets, her body was inching back to where she had started and even closer. Away from the bed the girl could think, somewhat. But coming closer to Morrigan always messed up her sense, including her common ones. Quickly she got to her feet, almost stumbling, and managed to stand up by using the night stand,and watched thewoman on her side, relaxing on the bed.

Morrigan sat up, turning so that her feet touched the floor and reached for Lilith's wrist, before the girl was able to step back again. She smiled and drew her closer.

"Morrigan, I can't…" She hesitated in moving closer, beginning to give in.

"Can't what?" the woman said as she pulled Lilith, so that she was standing between her legs. Morrigan hugged the girl's waist and buried her face in Lilith's stomach, taking in her sent.

"…I can't do… what you want… me to do." Lilith had her eyes closed and her head bowed, watching as Morrigan's face went out of view hidden in her shirt. Lilith's heart was still pounding wildly against her chest and she just couldn't swallow this feeling of wanting to get even closer.

The woman lifted Lilith's shirt and kissed her navel. With her eyes closed, Morrigan rubbed her cheek against the girl's skin and kissed her again a tad higher than her belly button. "And what would I want you to do?" she whispered against Lilith's skin.

"…this," Lilith whispered. Her knees buckled and she slid down kneeling in front of Morrigan, who cupped her face and placed a kiss on her lips again.

Morrigan smiled, bent down, and pressed her lips against the girl's gently, whispering, "…and what is 'this'?"

Lilith shrugged and kept her eyes closed; blushing at the feel of Morrigan's soft kips hovering over her own. "I… don't know," she whispered back. How was she to explain something she couldn't understand herself? All of this was getting to her head. Why was Morrigan like this? Why did she want this, whatever this was? Why didn't she understand? All of these questions were swarming her head; that and this urgent feel to finish some bond with Morrigan.

She placed a small kiss on Lilith's mouth, pulling back when she felt a tear on her hand. Morrigan didn't take her hand from Lilith's face. She continued to cup the girl's cheeks in her hands and look her over, "You know I would stop if you wanted me to." She kissed Lilith's forehead because seeing her cry was the last thing she wanted to do, "Just tell me to stop… and I will. Because if this is too much—"

Lilith shook her head, and blinked, causing another tear to run down her cheek then Morrigan's hand. "…it's not. It's just that…" She raised her hands and placed them over Morrigan's, "I don't know what… I'm supposed to do…" She took Morrigan's hands from her face and wrapped her arms around the woman's waist, resting her head to the side. "I'm just lost… And I don't want to mess... things up."

Morrigan watched the girl and ran her hand through Lilith's hair. It was just like how they were sitting earlier today. Just thinking about it made her smile a little as she continued to play with the girl's lilac hair. "What can I do for you… to make it better?" Morrigan's smile faded at the edges as Lilith looked up at her. All of the confusing emotions ran deep in her eyes. It was that same face she gave to Morrigan on the first day they met. All she wanted to do then was take that look away, and here she was, stirring it up again.

"That's just it… I don't know. I want to be here, with you. But I'm… afraid. I'm afraid of giving into to you," Lilith said as she looked away from the woman gazing down at her.

"So, you see this as giving into me?"

Lilith stayed quiet for a moment, "…sometimes."

"Why…?" Morrigan's voice stayed calm as she petted the girl's head. If she was ever to get anywhere with Lilith, she needed to know why.

"Why? Why does it feel like I have to put up a fight before I fall for you? Why does it feel like I can't decide what I want?" The girl closed her eyes and shook her head. She stopped talking because the sound of her teary voice was getting to her. Lilith swallowed, taking a breath in and letting out slowly, "Why do I feel like this, and you don't?"

"I do." Morrigan did feel like that most of time around Lilith. She had to fight the urge to pounce and take her on the spot. She had to hold back so many times when just releasing everything would have been easier. The fact that they were so drawn to each other was mainly because their auras were able to join somewhat, over the past couple of months. It was almost as if they were the same person, just spilt into two bodies.

That made Lilith glace up at Morrigan. "What do you mean…?"

Morrigan smiled andraised Lilith's head so that she could kiss her once again, "It just means that I tend to give into my call for you. Why should I hold back when I know I want you?" Morrigan smiled and quickly kissed her lips again, "Why can't you just give into me? Why are you fighting it?" she whispered.

"I can't just kill all of my problems away." Morrigan blinked at that."I can't just jump you… when you're near by," that part made her blush more than anything. "I can't be… you."

"And how do you know that that is me?" Morrigan asked.

"Because I can feel it." Lilith blinked and sat back, no longer between Morrigan's legs. It was the one thing that became clear to her, "I can feel it…?" She said again, a little slower. Great, now she was back to questioning her feelings.

Morrigan smiled and shook her head, watching as Lilith backed up and got to her feet again, "At least you can feel something. You're starting to wake up."

"What do you mean?" Lilith asked as she started to walk closer.

Morrigan raised her hand slightly and smirked, "If you come back here right now, one of us might end up on her knees."

The girl stopped walking but asked the question again, her cheeks full of color.

"It means you're powers, abilities, whatever you want to call them, are rising."

"I have... what?" Those aren't real. Right? Powers… Like in the Movies and TV shows? Lilith shook her head slowly, trying to wrap her head around this bit of information.

Morrigan got to her feet grinning, "This is going to be harder than I thought. How 'bout a visual?" She was about to show her what it meant but was interrupted by the unexpected frantic knocking at the front door. And because it was heard all the way up there on the third floor, they knew it was loud. So, Morrigan padded barefoot out the bedroom, down the stars and towards the front door that sounded as if it was about to be torn down.

As she walked out, Lilith followed her movement with her eyes, turning her head, keeping Morrigan in sight. Only when Morrigan was outof the roomand probably more than halfway to the door, did Lilith call out, "Morrigan your shirt!" She rushed to the bed, picking upashirt for her, and ran to Morrigan's side.

---------------

"Please! Don't leave me! Not again. If you go in there I don't know what I'll do with myself."

"But I have to. I wish I could stay with you—"

"Then why can't you? Don't you see how much you mean to me? Aren't I more important to you than this?"

"You are. But if I were to stay with you then—"

ShZZzzZzzsszZzt

"NYA! Rikuo! The TV!" Felicia said as she kicked at the seat he was dosing in, causing much of her popcorn and snacks to scatter.

"Huh? Wha…?" He blinked and looked around, and when there didn't seem to be any danger he eased back into the seat, ready to fall asleep again.

She bopped him in the head and growled, "My Movie! You did something to cut it off! Grah!" She closed her eyes and hit the door of the car, causing it to tip and shake a bit.

"I did what?"

"MY MOVIE!"

"Hm, oh! Oh!" He glanced down and lifted his foot from one of the cables that ran to the driver's side of the car.

"Zackary! No! Please… don't leave me…"

It was as if a switch was thrown. Felicia's eyes went back to the little screen in front of her, as her hand reached mindlessly for the bag of cheddar popcorn that she'd dropped when she was flailing.

Rikuo blinked, almost in disbelief. Did she really wake me up from some movie that she'd probably seen a thousand times? He shook his head and turned forward. They were still sitting in the car, from noon. They were waiting for Jedah to call back and tell them when to move in. But there hadn't been a call. Even after the second call to inform him that Morrigan's guest had left, Jedah didn't call back. Did a meeting really take that long?

Rikuo sighed and eased into his chair once more and eyed the street. He glanced at his watch. 8:24 Eight and a half hours of just Rikuo and Felicia. What did they do to keep sane? They went out, got some take out, drove around the block (coming back in time to see Zabel and co. leave), and now Felicia was in the back watching a movie on a TV that Rikuo had gotten installed some time ago.

"Actually… "Thinking back on what they did today, did bring up the image of Zabel hauling out two women over his shoulders. "I wonder what happened in there…"

"Shut up!"

"You've come here alone, correct?"

"Yeah. Now just give me what I came for…"

"………" Rikuo shook his head again and went back to watching the street between them and Morrigan's house. He leaned forward and rested his arms and chin on the top of the steering wheel.

"What's this? I thought we had a deal!"

"I never quite said that. It's such a sad thing that you won't be seeing her anymore…"

"What are you talking about?"

"Zack, I… I never meant…"

"Ally. Wh-what are you doing here?"

"Hmm…?" his eyes caught something red walking down the street. It looked like a little girl. "What is she doing walking around at this time of night?"

"Shhhhhh!" and she threw a couple of pieces of popcorn at his head.

"I hope you know you're cleaning that up," he said as he watched the girl… and a dog? walk down the street.

"Shut the fuck up." Felicia always seemed to get irritated when someone was interrupting her movies and such. Maybe that's why Jedah didn't have videos or cable at his place, where most of the missions were assigned.

He gave her an evil look out of the corner of his eye, even though she wasn't paying attention, and then went back to the girl. She seemed to be fumbling with a piece of paper, looking from it to each of the houses she passed by. I wonder if she's lost. He was about to get out of the car to help her when she stopped walking. The little girl just stopped and tucked the paper away. She must have had some pocket in the red skirt she was wearing.

He blinked and furrowed his eyebrows, because she had stopped in front of Morrigan's house. What did she want with Morrigan? And why does she look so familiar? Rikuo thought.

---------------

Morrigan had reached the door before Lilith was there to stop her from flashing whoever had been knocking. Morrigan had to glance around before she looked down at the little girl in front of her. Quirking a brow she asked, "Yes?"

"I'm… I'm…" The girl blinked her teary eyes causing the waterworks, that she seemed to be holding back, to fall down her cheeks in streams.

Morrigan blinked and frowned slightly. She was never good with cute girls crying, especially if she could do something to stop the tears.

"I-I'm lost! I was being chased and ran, and ran, and ran until I thought I lost them. But everywhere I look I think I see them watching me. And—" the little girl spoke in a hurried frantic voice, and when anyone talks like that, it's kind of difficult to follow a long with them.

"Made you're just paranoid," she wanted to say, but said nothing. She knew not to mess with "speical people". Morrigan stuck her head out and looked both ways, up and down the street, looking for anyone that might have attacked her. No, chased her. She didn't see anyone and looked back at the girl who was still running her mouth off. Yea. She's paranoid.

She was cute in a "I'm-a-tiny-girl-so-love-me" kind of way. She wore a white shirt that was a little longer than and mostly covered up by a red zip up hoodie. She had one of those plaid schoolgirl pleated skirts that was mostly red and matched the hoodie and white knee-highs. At her feet was a little off-white dog, happily sitting there wagging its tail. If they were running, wouldn't the dog be out of breath?Panting at least...Morrigan eyed the girl, letting her gaze travel up and down her body. Something about her wasn't right. And she was still babbling on.

Lilith had just came up to Morrigan's side holding up a shirt for her to put on, when Morrigan shut the door in the girl's face. "Was there anyone at the door?" Lilith asked.

"No." and Morrigan took the shirt and walked away from the door.

"Oh…" Lilith blinked and looked at the door then back at Morrigan. As she turned to follow Morrigan a loud high-pitched scream came from the other side of the door. Lilith jumped and rushed to the door. She opened it and saw the little girl in tears, crying loudly. Lilith got to her knees to comfort the girl and gave Morrigan a glare.

The woman rolled her eyes and managed to get the shirt on, but not buttoned. Morrigan walked up to Lilith and drew her to her feet, "Just let her go, someone else will find her."

Lilith mouth fell open, "I can't believe you just said that…"

Morrigan looked off to the side then back at Lilith and sighed. She lowered her voice, though she doubted that the little girl could hear her over her own bawling, "Something's not right about her. Just let her leave."

"What are you talking about?" Lilith looked back at the girl standing on the doorstep then at the woman holding on to her arm. "We have to help her, or at least make her stop crying."

Morrigan scoffed and let go of Lilith's arm.

"We have to or the neighbors might wonder what's going on."

"Let them wonder. Let her go to someone else."

"If you didn't know me, and I came crying at your door, would you just leave me for someone else to deal with?"

She thought about that for a moment and shook her head, "But she's not you… It's not you."

"That's besides the point, Morrigan."

She threw her hands up. Morrigan knew she wasn't going to win this one, "Whatever. It's your funeral…" She walked off leaving Lilith with the girl at the front door.

Lilith turned and knelt back in front of the little girl, "It's okay, it's okay. Tell me something, what's your name?"

The girl sniffled and blinked some, wiping the tears from her eyes, "B-Bulleta."

"Bulleta? Can you tell me why you're crying?"

The little girl swallowed and said her story over again for Lilith. "And… And that's why I'm here. I was… was hoping that you'd… Anyone would help me."

"Of course I'll help you," Lilith said as she got to her feet. "Just forgive my friend. She's usually not like this around people."

"I'm sorry, it's my fault.This was the only nice looking house I saw. It was the only one that didn't scare me." Bulleta looked down and glanced at her dog, then sheepishly looked up at Lilith, hiding an evil grin.

"It's okay. Just as long as you're safe now, right?" Lilith reached down and patted the girl on her head. "You can come in and use our phone to call your parents if you'd like."

Bulleta looked up, with the grin hidden behind the face of an innocent, which she wore like a pro, "Could I?"

Lilith nodded.

"Could I bring my dog in with me? He doesn't like to be anywhere with out me. 'Cause his last owner was abusive towards him."

"Sure, I don't think Morrigan would mind much."

"Oh, is that that scary lady's name?"

Lilith laughed a bit, and then covered her mouth. It sounded too much like Morrigan's laugh that it sort of creeped her out.

"What was that?" Bulleta blinked and looked up at the girl in front of her.

"Sorry. Please come in." Lilith stepped to the side, allowing space for the little girl to walk by.

"Thanks a bunch." She sniffled and looked to her dog, "Come on Harry…"

Lilith watched as the girl and her dog walked by. She noticed a little backpack (the ones that can't even hold a notepad) and wondered why she didn't have a cell phone in there. Didn't all the kids nowadays have cell phones? Lilith blinked and shook her head. "Gah, I'm not that old yet. I'm not even legal," she said as she closed the door and leaned on it, and then lead the girl to the closest phone.

In the kitchen, picking at some leftovers that she'd taken from the fridge, Morrigan shook her head slowly. "Why does that girl bother me…? I know I've seen her somewhere…"

---------------

Shuffling through the front of the car, Rikuo was looking for something, anything that jogged him memory of that girl. Something about her, he'd read or been talked to about. "Where is it? Where did I put that thing…?" he was whispering. From the last two clobbers he had gotten from Felicia, he'd learned his lesson… Somewhat.

"Can't wait to see you in hell too. Asshole."

"Isn't that movie over yet?" he asked to no one in particular. He sat up and looked out of the windshield and sighed. Why did that girl just stop in front of Morrigan's house? It was driving him nuts. The fact that, whoever that shorthaired girl had been, had easily let the little girl into the house, bugged Rikuo even more. Morrigan knew something was up, right? That's why she'd closed the door on the girl's face. Right?

Music started to play and Felicia watched as the credits rolled up, "It's done now, okay?"

Rikuo rested his forehead on the steering wheel, shaking his head and shrugging at the same time, "Yea… okay."

"Something wrong?"

He didn't lift his head, only slowly turned it towards the woman in the backseat, or turned it as much as he could without lifting his head. Rikuo gave her a look, "No… Nothing's wrong. Why would you think that?" He turned his head back around staring at the meters below the dashboard.

"Okay…" She blinked and stretched out in the back of the car, "Well you missed a really good movie. Not my favorite, but it's up there… Hey are you listening?"

"Not really…" He said as he fished out his phone. Rikuo had called Jedah so many times that all he had to do was press send and it called his phone.

"Grr…" Felicia growled for a bit then stopped, blinking her eyes. "Who are you calling?"

"Guess."

"Oh. Him again? Just wait for him to call. If you keep calling like that—"

"Hello, yea. Connect me with Jedah please?" That was usually the annoying part. The fact that you had to call HQ to get connected to Jedah was always a pain and took longer than just directly calling him. But that's the way the boss man had set it up.

"Hello?" It wasn't Jedah's voice that picked up on the other line.

"Hey, Jon?"

"Yeah."

"Can I speak to Jedah?"

"Can't."

Felicia called out from behind Rikuo, "It's Jon? Tell him that he still owes me a pizza. And, and! A movie! Tell him I want it this week—"

"Why not?"

"He's driving. And kind of pissed off right now," Jon whispered. He usually never whispered.

"What happened?"

"You'll know when we get there. Still at Morrigan's, right?"

Rikuo nodded then said, "Yea, we're still here."

"Okay. Then we should be there in a few. Talk to you then."

"Hey, wait."

"What is it?" Jon asked.

"Have you heard of suspicious looking little girl, dressed in all red, with a little dog in tow?"

"Ooh. Real descriptive Sherlock," Felicia remarked.

"Yea. I think," Jon said. He thought that it could be anyone wearing red carrying a dog with them, but he just went with it. "Why?"

"I just saw someone like that walk into Morrigan's house."

"Maybe it's just another friend of hers."

"Nah. I don't think so. She was looking at a piece of paper when she was looking for Morrigan's house."

"Maybe she's a fan."

"No. I don't think that's it either."

"Then what do you think?"

Rikuo sighed, "I don't know. That's why I asked."

"Oh, well…"

"But you did say you've heard of someone like that, right?"

"Right…"

"Like who?"

"The only thing I've heard, or been told to watch out for was a bounty hunter with a…" He couldn't call it a description. Not with information like that. "A bounty hunter that dresses like the girl you pointed out."

"A bounty hunter? That little girl…?"

"What? Was she really young looking?"

"Yea… Maybe it's not her."

"Maybe it is. People say that she looks like a little girl."

"Well, it couldn't be a girl like that."

"What's wrong with girls?" Felicia called back at him.

"Nothing, nothing."

"What?" Jon asked.

"Not you. Anyway, thanks. I guess. See you when you get here."

"Yea... Okay."

And they both hung up the phone.

"So…? Do we go in now?" Felicia asked.

"No, they're on their way."

"See I told you to just wait for them. And you wonder why your phone bill is so stupid high."

Rikuo sighed and thought it over in his head, disregarding what Felicia just said. Could that small girl really be a bounty hunter?

Whoot! Done with long chapter 7. Fun stuff. But really… I actually stayed to my plot, kinda. Sorta. A little? Whatevers. Anyway. Yea.

.oO( Don't really sue me though. I don't really have anything. And I was just annoyed that I kinda forgot to put that there before I handed this in. o.o Not that I mind putting it there. Really… I don't. u.u Please don't hurt meh.)

Oy, oy. I want to start a new story. But I can't figure out which anime(s) characters to use. Hmmm. Maybe I should just make up some of my own. But then I couldn't post it on this site. Oh the drama.
