Toya:Okay... We finally got this chapter up... Hopefully we can do it faster
Renton:So we got to live... I'm so happy...
Kenpachi:...............*depressed* Yeah... But not for long


Time passes quickly when you're awake, especially if you have not slept for a few days. That's how Toya felt as he laid up against the Demon and quietly watched Eureka sleep. After the first few hours of him pointing the gun towards her, she had collapsed from fatigue, allowing him to be at ease and try to get some rest. Yet, before he could even try to rest, he found out just how good Eureka was when she wants to get something. Toya rubbed his left arm absentmindedly as he started to remember.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Flashback-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Toya sighed softly as Eureka finally fell asleep, after what felt like hours of staring at each other. Neither moving, afraid that if they did the other would get the upper hand. He quickly sat down to rest his sore legs and lends his head against the cave wall. He placed the gun against his right arm and closed his eyes. A little sleep is just what he needed right now, just for a few seconds. But nobody ever wants to do it his way, because he was roughly nodding off when he heard quick movement coming from the front of him.

His eyes opened quickly, just in time to raise his left arm up and deflect a kick that was well aimed towards his face. As quickly as he could, all thoughts of the gun flying from his mind, he raised his right arm and grabbed her ankle with it. He thought that was it, until she whirled around with her other leg and caught him in the corner of his neck. That kick alone sent him reeling into a piece of stalagmite.

Luckily for him, she had forgotten all about the gun as well as she followed after him, arm raised to fight. He thought for a second, since she was injured that she would be much easier to fight than he thought. On that day, he learned a lesson he never thought he would learn from her. NEVER UNDERESTIMATE YOUR OPPONENT, INJURED OR NOT! He had barely had time to raise his arm again to avoid another kick from her, this time aimed at his mid-section.

Yet, to follow up the blocked kick, her arm came towards the part of him that if left open and scored a blow that made Toya quickly back away. She barely looked as though she had broken a sweat, yet Toya was having a hard time keeping up for her. He had not even tried to deliver a blow, since he was on the defensive. He growled at himself as a few memories passed through his mind of him and his brother fighting, almost always the exact same result came from those fights. Renton would charge and Toya would be on the defensive the entire fight, ultimately ending in Renton grounding Toya and winning.

Not today, this time he was not going to be on the defensive. This time he was going to be the one on the offensive. As soon as his eyes caught sight of her charging yet again, he decided to charge at her himself. They were mere inches from each other before Toya decided to throw a punch at her left side, looking to ground her as fast as he could. Yet, all his punch hit was air; she had quickly ducked to the right and caught him right in the ribs below his right arm.

He coughed from the impact and his foot nearly gave way, but he kept it standing firm and quickly swung his arm back in a quick side arc that caught her in the crook of her neck. She quickly flew back away from him and against the rocky walls. She quickly got to her feet, her eyes like that of a hunter that had spotted its prey. Toya stared back at her, trying to match her ferocity but he could tell he was failing tremendously. He would have made another run at her, if not for hearing a bellowing wail from the side of them, into the darkness of the cave.

He quickly looked over, only to see a pair of red eyes starring out of the darkness directly at them. It seemed that Eureka had not taken her eyes off of Toya and took his moment of weakness as her chance to take him down. As quickly as she could, she jumped and delivered at kick to the side of his jaw, it sent him hurtling until he made a loud crashing sound as he collided with his LFO. Smiling triumphantly, she turned only to be lifted up and tossed back against the wall.

Her eyes tried to register what was going on; she was just tackled back a boar, and a big one at that. Its fiery eyes stared straight into her own, until it reared its head downwards and she had to quickly jump out of the way so that she did not get crushed against it and the wall. When it did hit where she had been, she saw the stone crack under its force, dreading what would have happened had she not decided to jump out of its way.

It quickly turned back towards her, even more enraged than it had been before. She got up and assessed the situation as best she could, there was an angry boar and she was against the wall. She could not fight it head-on, nor was there a way to lead it away from her. While in the middle of contemplating her decision, there was a gunshot that echoed throughout the cavern. Before Eureka, the boar had fallen and laid there, blood gushing from the back of its skull. She quickly looked beyond it, only to find Toya grasping the gun in his right hand, a smug smirk on his face.

Then he turned the gun on her and she showed no fear and closed her eyes. Thinking she was to suffer the same fate as the boar. "Hey… do you know how to cook it?" Came Toya's voice instead of a gunshot. Eureka whirled around quickly, to find him prodding the corpse of the animal with the barrel of the gun. Eureka eyed him suspiciously, never one to let down her guard. Toya looked up at her and smiled sweetly "Well? Can you or can you not cook it?" he said softly and put the gun down on the ground and proceeded to drag the dead carcass of the bull towards their LFOs. Reluctantly, Eureka decided to follow after him.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------End Flashback---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------After that incident, they had started to trust each other to an extent. Well, as far as one of them trying to get to sleep in this cave while the other decided to keep watch with the gun. They had done this for three days, barely talking to each other except to the other that it was their turn for watch, or to go find some more water. He looked over to what had remained of the Boar's carcass and shook his head slowly.

If they didn't hurry and find a way out of here, they would starve to death because the Boar was nearly stripped clean. It looked as though it would last another day or maybe two but no more than that. Toya groaned softly and stood up to stretch, making a rock tumble from behind him. Quicker than a bullet, Eureka shot up and looked around quickly. She found Toya staring back at her, and sighed in relief.

She stood from her spot, and walked over towards him. He sat back down against the Demon and she followed suit, sitting beside him with her legs against her chest. "You know you can go to sleep…. Your watch isn't for another two hours," Toya said softly, even though he couldn't really tell what damn time it was. She slowly shook her head and looked up towards the ceiling. "I'm not tired…. I'm, Just worried about my children" She said softly, making Toya's eyes widen and look over at the girl beside him.

She had kids, Eureka had KIDS?! "Renton has got his work cut out for him…."Toya said softly. Eureka turned towards him and looked at him in a questionably manner. "What did you say Toya?" She said softly, her eyes staring into his. Toya quickly thought of something to say and smiled at her. "I said it must be nice to have children of your own" Toya said softly, his eyes leaving hers to look towards the wall that all of a sudden became interesting to him.

He heard a sigh from Eureka and turned to see her looking at the same wall he was looking at. "You know… you and Renton are nearly the complete opposite… Here you are, with the Army and killing innocent people and Renton is with us… Helping the Gekko to stop the Military" She said softly, her expression as blank as it always is. Toya felt his heart sink; he hadn't killed anyone that was innocent…

He always made sure that they fired first before he attacked, was that the same case as what happened in Modesto? Where those rebels innocent, no they couldn't have been. They attacked him when he questioned them about it, wait… Did he question them? Maybe he had acted out of his rage towards Holland and just started shooting. He would have to ask Dewey about it if they got out of here, more like when they got out of here. He looked towards the only opening towards the wall and quickly grabbed a hold of the gun tightly; he had seen a shadow run past it.

Eureka looked over towards Toya and noticed his grip on the gun, her eyes followed where his were facing, quickly noticing that a shadow was indeed present. He aimed the gun dead center towards the shadow, he was not about to be killed if another boar decided to bound its way through. Yet, instead of a boar running through, he saw a few more shadows moving in the darkness.

Great, just his luck that it wasn't alone. He heard a faint mummer from behind him, only to turn around and notice that Eureka was gone. He mentally cursed at himself and looked back ahead towards the shadows. Again he cursed himself, as he saw Eureka was moving towards the shadows. "Eureka stay back! They could be dangerous!" Toya yelled after her, he had gotten up from his seat and was approaching Eureka slowly from behind, keeping his eyes on the shadows. "Dangerous? Who has the gun here little brother?!" A voice yelled from the shadows.

That voice sounded so familiar to Toya, he recognized it from somewhere. Then as to confirm it, one of the shadows slowly walked out of the darkness, to reveal spiky brown hair and an arrogant smile. It was Renton! Toya dropped the gun to his side and quickly ran to embrace his brother, but he was beaten there as Renton ran and embraced Eureka. Toya growled at them and turned the gun on the other shadows. Renton looked over at his brother and grabbed the gun, attempting to lower it.

"It's not Holland, its a few friends" Renton said softly, trying to comfort his brother. Two of the figures turned away from the group and headed the other way, while the third figure walked out of the darkness with a smile plastered on her lips. "The name's Talho, Nice to meet you kiddy" She said with a smirk on her face. Toya looked her up and down and quickly busted into a fit of laughter, leaving Talho to stare at him with an expression of utmost confusion.
