Saya looked around. The place that looked so beautiful at one point had now become a place to fear. Saya knew there was nothing to fear, Hajji had said there was nothing to fight, but still she hated to be alone. She always felt alone lately.

She sighed and listened for Hajji's return. Hajji did not return though. She was left alone and did not to be. It had been too long a day for any of Hajji's tricks and games. Saya sat down near a tree and decided that if Hajji thought it was okay to do this to her then she could certainly choose not to participate.

Saya leaned her head back against a tree and heard cracking twigs behind her. She stood up with her hand on her weapon. "Hajji….?" Saya sighed as she looked around. Maybe it was just nerves. It had to be. She wasn't in the mood for this. She hated this more than anything. Walking around the parameter of the area, she looked to see for any signs of Hajji or whatever was bothering her. There was nothing. No signs of anything. She grumbled under her breath, but as she was about to relax something cracked behind her. She turned and there it was. A chiropteran was right behind her. Its teeth were showing and it looked like it was hungry. Must be feeding time. She thought to herself. A small chuckle rose in her throat. The red eyes from the ugly creature stared at her. She clicked her sword of its sheath just a hair. She was ready to take the creature. She closed her eyes and put her hand on the handle.

Opening her eyes, now a vibrant red, Saya pulled her sword out of the sheath and pressed her finger against it so her blood flowed down the blade. The slight pain in her hand from the cut was nothing compared to some of the bumps and bruises she had gotten before….or to what she was about to do to the chiropteran. Of course, they only hurt for a few minutes because she healed so quickly.

Looking at the beast before her, she made the first move. Dodging around it, Saya swung her blade; but was blocked. It was quiet for a brief instant before the chiropteran made contact with her side. Hajji appeared at her side as she hit a tree. It knocked the wind out of her, not something she usually recovered from as quickly as if it were a mere flesh wound. She panted. Hajji moved his coffin shaped carrier in front of him and prepared to attack, but Saya grabbed his arm and told him, "Don't." She panted as she stood all the way up and picked her blade off the cold leaf covered ground. With anger in her eyes, Saya charged the large chiropteran.

She swung with the will to kill. The blade flowed through the air and cut the monster, but it managed to block her next blow. Say wasn't ready to give up yet. She wouldn't until it was dead. Swinging again and again and relentlessly, she kept going until she made contact. Wounded, the chiropteran stumbled back leaving it vulnerable. Quickly, Saya took advantage of the opportunity and struck with a fatal blow to its head. The ugly creature was dead.

Saya sat against a tree panting. Hajji came over and offered his hand to her. She looked up and took her Chevalier's hand. It was slightly colder than hers but it was a comfort to her. "I'm….sorry. I never meant for that to happen." Hajji sighed and Saya giggled.

"Then," She panted a little more, "What did you want to happen?"

Hajji smiled softly as he looked down at her, "For you to work out your frustrations." Saya laughed a lot. It was funny hearing that from him.

"I wasn't frustrated. Just….sad. I hate having to leave the people I care about most." Saya wrapped her arms around Hajji and looked up at his somber grey eyes, "Promise you won't ever leave me…" She hugged him tighter. Hajji's arms wrapped around her waist and he smiled.

"I promise." He kissed her forehead, but Saya wanted more. She kissed him on the lips and he returned the kiss as well.

Author's Note –

Sorry it took me so long to get up the second chapter. This is the end though, so you will not have to wait a whole 3 months for chapter three to be posted. That's the good news, the bad news, this is the last chapter. (Yes, only two chapters. I wanted to see how people accepted my writing style before I did something more detailed.)

Thanks to – All of my loyal readers and commenters. You deserve it for putting up with spelling mistakes, bad grammar, and a lazy author.
