Well, hasn't it been a long time. Over a year in fact. Sorry for the wait but my Stargate SG-1 obseesion has taken over most of my brain, that and my GCSE's (exams in England which are very important - for any international readers) are nearing so... Anyway, here is chapter 7 and I hope to finish it very soon. Enjoy and review please.

Chapter 7: Finding each other

Kira was sitting at the back of the runabout holding on to the picture of Odo she had brought with her. She didn't know how she knew that they were going tin the right direction, she just knew. They had checked the logs of the ships nearby. The one she was after was the same one that had taken her – the Goroolk. There was a beep from the computer and Kira looked up at her companion who gestured for her to join her at the front of their ship. Kira got up and sat down next to Dax before speaking.

"What you got?" Dax looked at her and smiled

"The Goroolk." Kira smiled back at her and looked down at the sensor readings. It was a shame that she couldn't detect Odo with the sensors. Kira jumped as she felt a hand on her shoulder.

"He'll be OK, Nerys." Kira just nodded, he tongue was so tied that she didn't even mind Dax from using her first name. As they got closer, they knew that the Goroolk must have picked them up on sensor but they did nothing.

Ivek laughed at Odo's pain but then became deadly serious.

"Why haven't you died yet? You should be been gone hours ago." Ivek increased the pain before informing him of the runabout that was closing in on them. "I can't wait for Kira to see you in that state knowing that she will be like too." Ivek laughed again and left.

Kira docked the ship and told Dax to stay.

"I have to do this myself. Ivek wants me not you." Dax reluctantly agreed and as Kira left the ship, she closed the hatch and waited. Not wanting to undock the ship in case warning Ivek that Kira had back-up.

As Kira rounded the first corner she spotted something glistening on the floor. She bent down and recognised it as part of Odo's natural state. She knew it was Odo's; the bond with it was too strong to be anyone else's. It moved in the direct she was heading and she followed it for a few minutes before coming face to face with Ivek. He was standing in front of the door in which Odo's part has disappeared under. This helped both of the couple. Odo knew that Kira was here and she knew where he was. All she had to do was get past Ivek.

"Well, well, well. Major Kira Nerys. What a surprise." Sarcasm was evident in his voice but not for long. Kira punched him in the jaw and he fell backwards into the door. Kira pulled out her phaser and didn't hesitate to fire it at her enemy. Not wanting to sink to his level, she had had it on stun. After pulling Ivek out of the way of the door, Kira opened it and could hear the song clearly in her head again. She pushed it out of her mind and saw the box in the middle of the room. There was Odo, squashed inside. Without thinking, she grabbed the box and headed back towards the runabout.

After stepping over Ivek and running around the corner, she opened the door and, as soon as Dax had closed the door and set off, tried to open the box in which Odo was encaged in.
