Hey Everyone, Here's chapter 5! I am really enjoying writing this story, I just wish people would reveiw it! lol Anyway, here it is! Enjoy Disclaimer: I don't own Final Fantasy X-2, but I DO own Kairacya,Keyea,Braen, and Shaylee! So don't steal them! lol

"Oh my gosh! I remember now!" Shaylee attitude changed completely.
"Secret handshake time?" Keyea said excitingly.
"Totally!" They then did the same silly handshake as before, while Kairacya and Braen looked confused.
"So... I'm guessing they know each other?" Braen said teasing.
"Gee, How did you ever guess?" Kaira smiled at him.
"Oh my gosh, Is that a smile? I real smile? I didn't know you could smile?!" Braen said annoyingly.
"UGH, You are so retarded!" Kaira rolled her eyes at him. Her smiled faded away.
Braen frowned as he watched her walk away. Shaylee and Keyea were chatting happily. He quietly follow behind Kairacya. Man, what was it going to take for her to warm up to him? At least he got her to smile...

They were now on the outskirts of town. Kairacya stopped at the large staircase that led to Highroad.
"Well, this is where we split paths. The closest inn is back at the Calm Cafe in the center of Luca." Kaira said as she turned to face the others"
"Split? And where will you two be staying?" Braen said looking slightly confused.
"Keyea and I will head onto the Highroad." She said pointing up the stairs. Braen stared at her. Suddenly, he felt angry.
"Are you kidding me? You're going to travel, at night, on the Highroad?!" Braen starting yelling," Are you insane?! There are fiends on the Highroad!" Keyea and Shaylee stopped talking and stared at the shouting pair.
"Would you shut up?! It's 3 in the morning, and people are trying to sleep!" Kairacya yelled back," And no, I am perfectly aware that there are fiends on the Highroad! But I can take care of myself"
"Take care of yourself?! You can't even climb out a window without help!!" Braen reminded her. Kairacya looked like she wanted to strangle him then and there. "Kaira...shh..." Keyea tryed quieting her sister.
"Braen..calm dow..." While, Shaylee tryed calm down Braen. But their attempts were useless.
"I slipped! And just because you saved me once, does not give you the right to try to keep saving me!" Kairacya screamed and then turned on her heel and head up the stairs. Keyea had never seen her sister this mad! Braen watched her go and tryed to calm down, but his thoughts were getting him angry all over again.
"What is her problem?!," Braen growled at Keyea,"Does she think having help will kill her"
"I've never seen her get that mad. She usually is a pretty inward person," She gave him a hopeless look,"But yes, she tends to what to do things on her own. I barely got her to let me come"
"Where is she going anyway?" Braen asked.
Keyea started to answer but was interrupted by a scream.

"What was that?!" They ran up the steps as quickly as they could. And in the first alcove, they found a Barbuta attacking Kairacya.
Braen ran up to it, and with a slash, killed it. He knelt down beside Kairacya and look her over. She didn't have any cuts but there was a large bruise forming on her leg. Keyea and Shaylee, who had ran up to see the beast fall down, started praising Braen's skills. "Wow, you were so great, Braen!" they said together.
He smiled at them, and then looked at Kairacya with a frown.
"Still think you don't need me"
"I could have handled that, if Keyea," She shot Keyea a look," Hadn't stolen my Staff"
Keyea looked at her own hands and realized she was still holding the staff from when they were climbing out the window.
"Oops... I am so sorry! I totally forgot to give it back!" She kept apologizing, but Kaira just looked back at Braen.
"But I am...grateful", She choked out the words," for your help"
He grinned at her.
"Oh, don't get all smug! It doesn't mean I need to following me around and protecting me!" She exclaimed.
He stood up and offered his hand. "You're welcome." He said as he pulled her up and smiled. And she smiled back.

I know it's short but I just thought this would be a nice place to stop. Don't worry, I'm already working on chapter 6, so It should be too long before it's up! Please read and reveiw!
