Hello guys and girls. I'm here with the new chapter of Vengeful Soul. I'm very sorry for this sudden change in publishing, but I just had to. But anyway, I hope this chapter will make up for it.

Chapter III - New problems

"So…" Kha'Zix started, but didn't really know what to say. After an hour, Rengar and he decided to finally talk things out. "I know that you're afraid that I would do something…bad, but now I have more control over myself." Kha'Zix said.

"I know, but…" Rengar sighed, "I might be just overreacting, maybe she was right…"

"You're not, well, maybe not that much…" he replied. They both chuckled quietly.

"Okay, I'll tone down a bit." Rengar said and smiled.

"Thanks." Kha'Zix replied and smiled as well. "But…how will it be then?"

"I…ehh, alright, but under one condition." Rengar replied after a moment. He got up and came closer to Kha'Zix. He kneeled down, put his hands on his shoulders, and looked at him. "Don't do anything that would tear us apart…" Rengar said quietly, almost whispered. Kha'Zix leaned forward and hugged him.

"Of course, you have my word…"

Rengar decided not to ask him anything about his friend, or what he was doing. He was just glad that everything was fine and Kha'Zix was back. The next day when it was a around noon, Kha'Zix went to Rengar's closet and took the robe he was wearing the day before.

"What are you doing?" Rengar asked him when he finished cleaning his weaponry.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you. My friend asked me to meet her. She wanted me to tell her something about the jungle." Kha'Zix replied. Rengar nodded slowly. He still wasn't convinced that it was a good idea, but even after what he had told Kha'Zix, he didn't do anything. For once, he decided to give him a chance.

"Okay, but don't be late. I'm going to be so bored otherwise." Rengar said and chuckled. He got up from the chair and straightened the fabric behind Kha'Zix. "You look good in it." Rengar commented and kissed his forehead.

"Really?" Kha'Zix said and grinned. "Anyway, was it yours? I can't really imagine you in this."

"It was a gift for my father, but he has never worn it even once. You may be the first one to be wearing it." Rengar replied. "Don't get into trouble. See you." Rengar added and let Kha'Zix go. He nodded, bid farewell, and left. Kha'Zix felt excitement, it was the first someone has ever asked him to meet with him. Someone from outside. With a steady pace, Kha'Zix went toward the town.

"Are you sure he will come?" Noah asked Lucy. Not that he was sceptical, but they have been sitting in one place for half an hour.

"Of course he will. Or at least I hope he will." Lucy replied. She wasn't completely sure, but it was better than asking random people about it. They have done it, but nobody would really know.

"Let's just assume that this time we found someone reliable." the boy commented. But after a couple of minutes later, Lucy recognised a hooded person emerging from the crowd. "It's him!" Lucy let Noah know that he showed up.

"Alright, I'm here." Kha'Zix said. But then he shifted his eyes on the blonde boy beside her. His gaze was stuck on Kha'Zix, making him slightly uncomfortable.

"You're…" Noah started. Kha'Zix was expecting some rude or painfully true comment. "...awesome!"

"What?" Kha'Zix replied. He was confused. Did he really just say he look amazing?

"I have never seen anyone like you! I've stumbled upon some vastaya before, but none of them resembled an insect!" Noah shouted in excitement.

"Sorry for my friend. His name is Noah, he is obsessed with everything related to magic." Lucy replied. Kha'Zix smiled and nodded.

"I understand. I just couldn't believe that someone would tell me something like that." he explained. Kha'Zix felt nice and confused at the same time because of this remark.

"Don't listen to him, Noah says a lot of weird things." Lucy chuckled and patted Noah's shoulder. He just smiled and nodded.

"Oh, anyway. Thank you Lucy for help. Things went alright." Kha'Zix mentioned. Lucy looked at him and nodded.

"That's good. Glad I could help you."

"That's why I feel obliged and I decided to show you around the jungle." Kha'Zix added. Lucy opened her mouth and slight shock, but then smiled widely and hugged Kha'Zix.

"Thank you so much!" she said. Kha'Zix didn't know what to do. He was used to Rengar's hugs, but it didn't feel bad at all. It wasn't the same of course, but he didn't dislike it.

"It's…okay. I live there anyway, so it shouldn't be a problem." he said.

"I understand, but still, it matters a lot to me." Lucy replied. "Also, do you, by any chance, know where "he" lives?"

"Hmm? Who's "he"?" Kha'Zix asked surprised.

"You know, this famous, well, maybe not famous, but known by many, hunter called Rengar?" Lucy explained. When Kha'Zix heard that name, he froze. How does she know about Rengar? What did she mean by famous? Lucy and Noah noticed his sudden change of expression.

"Is…something wrong?" Noah asked after a moment.

"Ahh…it's nothing. I just…spaced out for a moment, that's all." Kha'Zix said and scratched his head. Before he would have said anything, he wanted to know from where exactly they knew about Rengar and what were their intentions.

"But a question, how do you know about him? I mean, you said you are from Piltover."

"His father used to write guides about this jungle. Rengar was mentioned in them." Lucy replied. "They were so popular, they are almost global I suppose."

"You say…" Kha'Zix mumbled. In fact, he remembered just now that he found one of them at their house. He never asked Rengar about it when he read it, though. "Anyway, why does it matter to you?"

"It's…somewhat private…" Lucy replied after a moment of silence. She seemed upset, but also determined. Before Kha'Zix said anything, Noah cut into the conversation.

"Lucy was very ill, but Rengar sent her the medicine. He saved her life." he said. Lucy looked at him slightly angry, but he intentionally said so little, which she noticed. Kha'Zix frowned, he was surprised. When did this happen? But when he looked at them, they didn't seem to be lying. He smiled slightly.

"Okay, I think I can trust you guys." Kha'Zix said. They looked at him questioningly.

"What do you mean?" Lucy asked.

"For a moment I wasn't sure if I could trust you, but I realised that you're not lying." Kha'Zix added. "I know where Rengar lives. I can lead you to him." Kha'Zix confessed.

"Wait, really?" Lucy asked. She couldn't believe how lucky she was.

"What's more, I even live with him. He is the person you helped me get along with again."Kha'Zix explained. Lucy was looking very perplexed. It was too much for her. Not only she met someone who was willing to take them to the jungle, who knows where Rengar is, but also who knows Rengar first hand.

"Are you okay?" Kha'Zix waved his hand in front of her face. She shook her head and looked at him.

"Yeah, I just…wow, I just can't believe."

"You don't have to. Come on, let's go!" Kha'Zix said and started leading the way. Lucy and Noah looked at each other, nodded, and went with Kha'Zix. On their way, Lucy and Noah told Kha'Zix about Piltover and the world beyond the jungle. He was listening very carefully, it was very interesting topic. He was intrigued by so called technology and hextech. Even though he couldn't really understand it, he liked to listen about it.

"But enough about us, how did you meet Rengar?" Lucy asked Kha'Zix. She was curious.

"I…" Kha'Zix mumbled. He wasn't sure if he should tell her that they were sworn enemies for the most part. "We happened to…stumbled upon each other once. We both wanted to hunt a specific creature that day and the traces led us both to the same prey." Kha'Zix said.

"Oh, so it was an accident?" Noah asked?

"You could put it like that." Kha'Zix replied.

"You mentioned that you are living together…" Lucy said after a moment.

"Ah, yes, it's because…" Kha'Zix paused again. Should he tell them the truth? He instantly thought about it. He didn't care at all, but maybe Rengar didn't want more people to know? "Because I didn't really have a home, and…I dunno, we just liked each other." Kha'Zix tried his best to make a believable lie.

"Oh, I get it." Lucy said. She sounded satisfied. Kha'Zix sighed in relief. His lie was good enough apparently.

"Anyway, I will have to ask you to wait in a moment. The house is hidden, so I'll ask Rengar to come." Kha'Zix said.

"Sure, we understand." Noah replied. After around twenty minutes, they stopped, and Kha'Zix went ahead.

Rengar was reading a book while sitting on the bed. He was so bored that he decided to reread some of them. When they started living together, Rengar realised how lonely he was. Not even hunting is as fun as it used to be. Page after page, his eye was starting to close little by little. Eventually, he just dropped down his head and tried to fall asleep, but then a loud sound of opening the door awoke him. He looked up and saw Kha'Zix.

"Oh," yawn, "you're back…" Rengar said and scratched the corner of his eye. "And how was your trip?"

"Honestly, wonderful!" Kha'Zix said. "But could I please ask you a favour?"

"A favour?" Rengar asked somewhat confused. "What do you mean?"

"Someone insisted that they wanted to see you. They said something about…I actually forgot, but they seemed to know about you." Kha'Zix explained. Rengar sighed slight irritated. Kha'Zix must have said that he knows him or something and now random people will want to see him, he thought.

"Tell them to get lost, I don't want any visitors." Rengar replied and stretched out a little.

"But Rengar! I promised them! They are my friends!" Kha'Zix insisted. Rengar looked at him. He made big eyes and tilted his head to convince Rengar. He even dropped his usual tone and asked very, very nicely. Rengar couldn't just say no to that face. He rolled his eye, he knew he would regret it.

"Okay, but no, more, visitors. Understand?"

"Yes! Sure!" Kha'Zix jumped in place and thanked him. Rengar chuckled under his breath. To think that there was the time when they wouldn't hesitate and try to kill each other.

"Alright, alright, lead the way." Rengar stood up, stretched one last time, and left with Kha'Zix.

As Lucy and Noah were waiting, Noah pulled out from his bag a small harmonica and started playing it. Lucy liked to listen to his soothing melodies, they reminded her of childhood. But they didn't think that the song would attract unwanted attention. Beside music, Lucy's ears caught a single sound that was most definitely neither Kha'Zix or Rengar, nor an small creature around. Lucy immediately raised her hand, and Noah, as if mentally commanded, stopped. Seeing Lucy's serious face, he looked around. Then, he heard that too. It sounded as of someone or something was trying to sneak up. Then Lucy looked at Noah and her eyes grew wider. Just behind him, in the bushes, was a pair of bright, red dots.

"Behind you!" Lucy yelled and pulled out her weapon, but the creature was already in the air, targeting Noah's neck. But then a sudden flash of light, and when Lucy looked again, the creature bounced away from him.

"Just kidding. I knew he was there." Noah smiled and laughed. Lucy growled at him, he truly was childish sometimes. Before he got attacked, Noah murmured a magical spell that protected his body. They looked in the direction of their foe. Now that they had a clear view, they realised that it was a very big tiger. It was hissing and growling at them, threatening to attack again.

"Woah, a big kitty! I love cats!" Noah shouted in excitement.

"Yeah, but this kitty doesn't love you back, unless you're on the plate in front of it." Lucy replied. Noah turned his head to her and smiled widely, but the moment he broke the eye contact with the tiger, it jumped at them once more.

"Nope!" Noah said as he pointed his hand towards the cat. Again, very thin, almost invisible dome of energy appeared and forced the tiger to bounce backwards.

"Does it take a lot of energy? I don't really want to kill it." Lucy said.

"Don't worry, it'll tire in a moment and wander off." he assured her. She sighed in relief and hid her weapon. But then they heard two voices. They looked to the left and saw Kha'Zix and a big, ivory lion walking alongside him. They wanted to warn them about the big cat, but before they've got the chance to do that, it darted in their direction.

"Careful!" Lucy yelled. Both Kha'Zix and Rengar looked at them and saw the tiger running in their direction. The moment it jumped, they closed their eyes. But then they heard a chuckle and wet noises. The tiger was standing on top of now lying Rengar and it was licking his face.

"Shoo, shoo! I like you too, but let me stand!" Rengar said as he was trying to push the tiger aside. Noah and Lucy were looking at this scene with mouths wide open.

"Umm…excuse me…" Lucy mumbled, but when the tiger picked up that sound, it immediately jumped off Rengar and looked at their direction. It started hissing and growling once again.

"Hey! It's okay! We have it under control!" Rengar said to it. The tiger seemed to ease his muscles a little, but it still was posing a threat.

"Sorry for that, I shouldn't have left you alone…" Kha'Zix ran up to them an apologised.

"No, it's okay. Noah has some non-lethal tricks, so it was fine." Lucy explained. But then she looked at the big creature that was slowly walking in their direction. Rengar folded his arms and looked at them questioningly.

"I heard that you wanted to meet me." Rengar said. His voice was harsh, more than usual. Both Lucy and Noah were standing there in awe. He was both terrifying and magnificent in their eyes.

"Yes, yes we do. But…it's…private…" she said and looked at Kha'Zix. He looked at her, then at Rengar, and again at her.

"Oh, I get it. I'll leave you alone." Kha'Zix realised after a moment what she was trying to tell. He chuckled and moved away. After he was far enough not to hear their conversation, Lucy spoke.

"I'm very sorry for taking your time, but-"

"Don't be sorry, just say what you want so we can say goodbye and never see each other again." Rengar interrupted her. She gulped and nodded.

"Okay. Right. I think I should introduce us first for it to have any sense." Lucy replied. Rengar looked at her confused.

"What do you mean?" he asked. She coughed and then looked at him.

"This is Noah, and my name is Lucy Raven. We are from Piltover." Lucy said. Just as Rengar wanted to say something about not wanting to know their names, he remembered something important. He unfolded his arms and looked at her in disbelief. Could it be her? No, impossible, he thought. Or maybe?

"Judging by your expression I believe you realised?" Lucy asked. "That's right, I'm Connor's sister."

I don't know what to write so I'll just thank you for reading. See you in two weeks!
