dragonelf 8: Okay so the last chapter was a little depressing. But I'll fix it.

Rath's comfort.

Ryu stayed in her room and locked all the doors she could. How could Nadil do this? It wasn't fair. How could he or anyone accept her to fight her twin brother? Ryu sobbed and sobbed over the matter. 'It hurts. My hearts hurts,' thought Ryu in pain as she clenched her chest. Divine looked worriedly at his master, he could tell how badly Nadil wounded her heart. Lero was cradle next her. He didn't know what to say, he only had a sister, and they hardly ever met, and he didn't know his parents they died before he even met them. There was no way he could even comprehend Ryu's position. So he just sat there, silent, not sure of what to do. Ryu continued crying, not sure of what to do herself.

Elsewhere

Rath stared out at the sunset from his balcony. Ryu had been stuck in her room for three days running now. She refused to let anyone in. Everyone had tried to get her out of there, but no one could persuade her. In fact everyone was feeling so bad for her that Rath continually sneaked out of the castle to kill some demons, nobody even noticed when he was gone. The atmosphere was so thick with sadness; it was seriously ticking Rath off.

"Darn it… This is really starting to tick me off," said Rath to himself.

'Ryu and her sadness is really getting depressing,' thought Rath. 'There has gotta be a way to get her back that happy attitude. Okay what are my options.

1. Find a way to get Kamui back to normal.

2. Send Flowers and Food.

3. Brake through her door and talk to her

4. Forget about it and let her stay miserable.

'Okay that last option really sucks,' thought Rath. Number one sounded good but how was he going to get to Kamui. Number three was okay but if he broke the door everyone would think Nadil returned with Kamui including Ryu. Two sounded real good but then there was the problem with getting the food to here. Rath looked at the balcony next to his it was Ryu's balcony. A small ledge ran between the two, but it was big enough for a person to walk across. An Idea suddenly ran across Rath's mind.

"Yeah that could work," said Rath as he walked down the stairs to the kitchen.

After a hard time of cooking Rath looked down on the food he was about to serve to Ryu, it was suppose to be Chicken, rice, with gravy on top, along with a bag of cookies, and water. Instead it was brunt chicken, blackened rice, with purple gravy, and a bag of burnt cookies.

"Ummmm… She won't care. After all she hasn't eaten in three days," said Rath reassuring him self. Finally he reached the balcony and began to cross it.

'Master what are you doing?'

Rath tripped a dropped all the food but he luckily caught the cookies, and jumped into Ryu's balcony.

"EWWW! WHAT THE HECK IS THIS STUFF!" yelled a guard that was standing right below Rath, while his partner was laughing.

"It looks like chicken," said the other guard recovering from his laughs, as he took his finger, scooped up some of the food, and placed it in his mouth.

"OH MY--! THIS IS AWFUL! NO FORCE IN ANY WORLD COULD HAVE EVER CREATED SUCH A DISGUSTING THING! I NEED WATER!" yelled the other guard as he ran to a nearby river.

"It's not that bad," said Rath quietly.

'Yes master, it is.'

Rath looked down to see Fire. He was looking into Ryu's room before he answered again.

'You seriously weren't considering giving that to Ryu were you,' wrote Fire in shock.

"I was, but sense I lost it, it really doesn't matter now," said Rath but he continued. "Fire why don't you go to sleep. I need to talk to Ryu alone."

Rath watched as Fire returned into his room. 'Besides I still have the cookies,' thought Rath. Ryu put Divine into the bed along with Lero on the end. The two had worried themselves to sleep. Ryu was completely dried up of tears, she was exhausted from all the crying but it was all she could do.

"Hey…" said a voice behind her, it was quiet voice.

Ryu turned to see Rath hiding in the shadows closing the balcony door.

"Hi Rath," said Ryu as she turned back to the sleeping wolf and dragon.

Suddenly she felt arms wrap around her, Rath was hugging her tightly.

"I heard once, that hugging someone sad, makes them feel better," began Rath. "I'll hold on until you tell me to stop."

Ryu held tight onto Rath's hand, she didn't want him to let go. Rath had experienced worse, he knew the pain in her heart he experience the guilt. It was her fault that Kamui had met with such. Rath began to talk again.

"Don't think," said Rath. " Just live out each moment then move to the next. We cannot change the past, but we can change the future. Only you know what to do next, so what it going to be?"

"I'm going to save my brother," said Ryu before she knew it.

Rath knew the answer, it seemed right.

"Rath, thank you," said Ryu as she slowly fell a sleep.

Rath picked up Ryu and placed her in bed. He grabbed a chair and began to watch over Ryu the entire night. He watched over her all night.
