A/N: This update was pretty fast, wasn't it? Probably because I'm starting to have more fun writing it now. MUCH more fun.

"Where am I?" I said, drowsily.

The last thing I remembered before I woke up was walking over to the Hidden Sand Village. I must've fell asleep on the way. Or maybe one of those sky potatoes hit me in the head. Whatever it was, it knocked me out, hard. When I opened my eyes, I was in a huge glass dome, almost like a stadium, but without any rows of seats. There was only a grey floor, and some trees, which seemed oddly out of place, since there was no other vegetation or wildlife around.

I rubbed my eyes and got up. (I was laying on the ground at the time.) I looked at one of the trees and saw what looked like a person sitting on one of the branches. He was very strange looking though... His hair was long, stringy, and green. He appeared as if he was wearing a miniskirt, with a small shirt covering his chest. How fashionable.

I cautiously approached the tree. He looked irritated, glaring at me like he wanted to start a fight. Once I got closer, he spoke to me.

"Who the hell are you, little girl?" He said, in an agitated voice. Guess he WAS in a bad mood.

"Hey, don't get your panties in a bunch, SIR," I replied, much to his annoyance.

"That's no way to speak to your elders."

"Well, it's kinda hard to take a guy in a skirt seriously. Just who are you, anyway?"

"You still haven't told me who you were."

"Fine, I'll introduce myself first. I'm Reiko. You?"

"You can call me Envy. Now, I'd like to know why I'm here..."

"You don't know either? I thought you would, because I don't know where we are, either..."

"Do you really think I'm that stupid?" He uttered, surprising me.

"What are you talking about?"

"You brought me here, didn't you? Why!"

"What the hell are you-"

My words were cut off when he suddenly jumped off the tree and nearly kicked me in the face. I barely dodged his attack.

"I already told you, I don't know where we are. Why do you think I brought you here?"

"Shut up, human."

His last remark left me very confused. Wasn't he human, too? I didn't have time to think about it, since he was sending out a flurry of kicks at me, each of which nearly hit me. He seemed to use Capoeira to fight, or a fighting style close to it. I didn't want to get any unnecessary injuries, so I continued to dodge his attacks, and also blocked them on occasion.

"What, don't know how to fight?" He yelled, after some time.

"No, I just don't think you;d be a worthy opponent, getting me with my guard down and all."

This remark didn't amuse him, apparently, since I received a quick kick to the ribs afterwards. I fell over in pain. Just as he was about to go in for the kill, something hit him from behind. It knocked him out instantly. I looked up to try to see what did it, and saw an unexpected familiar face.

Alright, cliffhanger! I love writing cliffhanger endings, but I hate reading 'em. What's up with that?
