*~1 Year Later~*

"Duck!" Yelled Analiesa. Toga ducked as she threw her sword over his head and straight into the heart of a Level E. Toga rolled his eyes, it was an uneccessary action as he could have easily shot it when he turned around. Analiesa giggled, proud of herself. She walked past Toga to get her sword and muttered loud enough for him to hear "Outdone by a woman…"

Toga smiled to himself, glad to have Analiesa back as his partner. He had watched over her from last year's event. It had traumatized her deeply. He stayed up with her each night as she cried, Let her fall asleep on him as she woke up from nightmares, he was there in all the ways that count. He wanted to protect her and keep her safe…

…because he loved her…

Analiesa came over to his side carrying her sword. "well, old man, our job here is done." She smirked up at him , He ruffled her hair "Hey, watch who you're calling 'old'" Both chuckled as they made their way back to the hunters association.

When they walked through the door Toga pulled Analiesa against his chest and pressed his lips against hers. She gasped and parted her lips a little giving him permission to slide his tongue in. He stroked her tongue with his, enjoying the taste of her. As she wrapped her arms around his neck and his arms wrapped around her body, he heard a chorus of whistles, an 'About time!' and an 'oh boy' but he didn't care. He had Analiesa safe in his arms.
