Both R.M. and Michael have flashback of their past, Michael then confronts his father about the offer to be a Demon Hunter while R.M. is engaged in a personal mission of her own. Michael is still in his house, he looks a little longer at the photographs and katana. And then gets a lot of other things, he then dresses up in his ninja uniform and is caring two bags of weapons, as well as gets boxes and packs all the stuff he owns, and photographs. Michael then says while looking at the photos of his parents.

"I could never have a normal life, could I?"

Michael's flashback ends and R.M. flashback then begins. R.M. sneaks into a house, this mission is her own she has a crossbow in her hand and she come into the house and sneaks into it. The house is owned by her former boyfriend a vampire he hears some noise and a shower. R.M. approaches without a sound and then sees a few photographs of him with another girl who appears to be Asian Korean or Japanese, her hair is dyed blue. He hears noises in the shower of laughter and some sensual sounds of kissing. R.M. opens the door and sees the both naked in the shower together, R.M. holds the crossbow tight and then observes closely remembering what it was like when the both were in that same situation. She then looks at the photographs and then suddenly sees a wedding photograph, the both, she realizes that he has changed, and she accepts him for who he is, and both are very much in love. R.M. is slightly mad because she now has no more reason to kill, she looks once again at the young couple and is about to point her crossbow, but she then put another hand on top of the crossbow and then slowly brings it down. R.M. says silently to herself.

"Let it go."

Then she moves back and says silently toward them without them hearing.

R.M. then suddenly walks away.

Both Michael and R.M. are inside Mike's car in the back. The back seat is moved back and has given both Michael and R.M. room to sleep, both in a sleeping back together, their clothes are outside in plastic bags from all the blood that got on there and are in nothing but their shelves. Due to how cold it was they both had to use their body heat to keep warm. Michael then looks and the person lying next to him and things how beautiful R.M. truly looks as he sees the color of her pale skin but also the soft black hair that brushes on him. R.M. stirs and she sees Michael then both look down at one another. Michael gets up in a panic.

"Wait, wait I wasn't trying anything, I didn't even look much, I…."

R.M. a little groggy waking up, looks at him curiously.

"What the hell are you talking about?"

Michael then looks away and scratches his head in slight insecurity.

"Ummm nothing."

"Don't worry we've seen each other naked

it's not like we're going to do anything."

R.M. looks down at herself and pulls up her jacket.

"Well both of us just can't seem to keep our clothes on."

"I'll say well we didn't have a choice all that blood gave away a strong stench."

"I would just like to know how the heck we wound up sleeping here together."

"Well we were going through a lot in there and it was a long night,

so, we dosed of."

Michael then looks at R.M. again and sucks his lip slightly a hint of nervousness of misunderstanding.

"I didn't try anything, Scouts honor."

R.M. then raises one eyebrow again.

"You were never in the scouts."

"I …could have been.

R.M. then gives a playful punch in the arm toward Michael. Michael rubs the arm and then R.M. starts to get up.

"Well it doesn't matter our job is finished let's go."

Michael then grabs R.M. arm.

"Wait let's not go so soon, I would like for us to be friends

and we really made a good team, how about we have breakfast

together before we go to work, but most of all I just hate eating alone."

R.M. looks at him, despite her plans of just going home and not needing to eat breakfast, she just feels better with having another soul to talk to.

"Love to."

Then both walk away together wearing both their coats and shives. R.M. rubs her arms a little, she can feel the cold despite being cold herself.

R.M. says, "So your car has spare clothes?"

"Yes."

"I just want to ask one thing about you why do you always

carry so much stuff in your car?"

"Because you never know when you might need it."

The walk toward the car then R.M. and Michael has one final flashback. Both R.M. and Michael have a final flashback. After R.M. was done with the house she was sent to, a boy on a bike came toward her, when he noticed her coming out he hit the brakes but hit them a little too late and then crashed into her by accidentally bumping her to the side. She was about to fall to the sidewalk, but the boy suddenly noticed her falling recovered from his spill quickly and was able to have enough time to immediately jump to the back of her. She then fell over the boy and her weight was now crushing the boy. R.M. felt the boy behind her back and then she got up and lifted the kid up. R.M. noticed the kid was wearing what looked like a toy combat vest, jeans, blue t-shirt, as well as ninja mask. She took it off which revealed a 7-year-old with black hair and a clean-cut face. The boy stirred and then saw R.M. immediately when he looked at her beautiful young face and thought this was the type of woman he could easily fall in love with. But he noticed that there was a slightly sad expression on her face, he senses there was pain within her. They both stood up and were wiping off whatever dirt they caught, R.M. looks at the boy.

"Kid why did you try and catch me, you know

I'm heaver then you are, I can take a fall."

"I know, but I just couldn't let beautiful things get damaged."

R.M. then has a small smile at his cute charm.

"You're so sweet."

"Hey, look sorry about that, you just sort of popped out

and I didn't see you, you're not hurt or anything?"

"No, I'm fine just fine."

She then started looking up to the sky, the kid was just a little puzzled by her behavior as he looks up at the sky wondering if she's seeing anything.

Kid says, "Hey, why are you looking at the sky,

are you trying to spot some planes or UFOs? "

"No, kid just looking at the stars."

"What's so special about them? "

"A lot of things there are the constellations but I'm trying to find that

Shooting star, they say when you do, you make a wish and it comes true."

The kid scratched his head a bit.

"Did you find it and wish for anything?"

"Yeah."

"What's that?"

R.M. has a small but slightly sad smile.

"Love."

The kid is surprised by this.

"Love, ah gross I would've wished for a Sega Master System or Atari 7800."

R.M. looks at him with amusement.

"Just wait several years and the concept will make sense.

"Yeah well until it does, I got to go home, mom and dad will get

worried if I stay out for too long, listen this might

seem unimportant but could you tell me your name?"

"Why, do you want to know?"

"No, particular reason it's just I like to remember names."

"Ok, my name is R.M."

"What does that stand for? "

R.M. hesitates for a moment but then decides to give the kid her

Real name.

"Rachel Myers."

"Well I think it's a beautiful name for a person like you, name is Michael."

"Pleased to meet you."

Both shook hands then both walk to their cars and before they get in. Both say their good byes to one another and then they walk away. Michael then stops a moment and looks back and sees she is completely gone as if she was never around. Michael then says silently to himself, "R.M., Rachel I'll never forget you."

THE END

Author Note: This is the first story in the anthology which was about R.M. and Michael. My reasoning for this was to both show steps in each of their lives that have not just directed them to being the people they are but also to each other and where they go in the future; which I personally believe is true as we all arrive at certain points in our life and those times really do shape us in ways we never planned.
