and here's the first chapter. wee . I'm just happy it's going this far. but I still have no idea where this is going. Maybe I'll find out later.

Chapter 1: Reunion

Sabata stayed still behind the wall. Since his abilities were more stealth based, this was better and easier. He hit the wall and waited for the "Buka?" the Ghoul usually made. When he did hear it, he slid over to the other side and waited for the Ghoul to turn its back on him. Normally, this would try on him but he learned to be more patient with things. "Turn around already..." However, like anyone, he still could get annoyed.

The Ghoul soon gave up looking for the thing that made the noise and turned around, leaving its back wide open, which Sabata took advantage of. The Ghoul whipped around when a shot form the Dark Gun hit it in the back but found the area was clear of humans. Until two more shots made it go up in a puff of black smoke. Sabata climbed down from the wall, which he had used Zero Shift to get up and looked around. Ghouls could be stupid sometimes but they know how to gang up, and somehow lately, they were making up strategies. Since Sabata used the Gun Del Hel, it took more then one hit because, as he had learned a long time ago, darkness can't beat darkness, and for the past three years, the Undead were getting stronger. Way too strong.

"It's about time I went back home." He blinked in surprise and then started up the path. Awhile back, he started calling San Miguel his home and had decided to protect it as best as he could. Even though he was the Dark Child, everyone there still welcomed him and even though he had betrayed them before, they still trusted him (but Zazie still gave him the biggest chewing out of his life when he got back.).

He grinned but quickened his steeps when he saw the Sun was about to come up. Sabata rather not have his good mood wrecked by frying to death. He ducked into the inn before the Sun's rays appeared out of the sky.

"Welcome back!" Lita was there to great him, along with Zazie who pointed out that Sabata's foot was smoking because the light was getting through the window. "Hey." Lita hugged him but he still retrained not hugging back but she knew he didn't have to. He looked around when she let go. "Where's Otenko?" He asked. "Should be upstairs." Zazie muttered (she was trying to go to sleep). "I think he said that he wanted to talk to you." Sabata's face lit up and he walked over to the stairs. "Thanks." Zazie looked up and grinned. "I think someone's rubbed off on you..." He laughed quietly and went upstairs. "Yeah, I think so too."

He climbed the stairs two at a time and went into the room that the sunflower usually was in. Otenko looked up when he entered. "You said you wanted to talk to me. Is it...?" The sunflower shook his head. "I'm sorry, Sabata. It's been three years and I haven't felt him any more then the other times. Either he's out of my range or he's..." "Can't be." Can't be or did he not want it to be true? Since Djangos's disappearence in the attack on San Magual three years ago, Sabata had been looking for him along with protecting the town from the Undead. There had been no results but he won't give up on his little brother. "Are you sure you checked everywhere?" "Yes. I've been checking the places for about three years, so I'm sure." "Maybe Sol City..."

"Ah!" "Sabata! Come down here!" Zazie called from downstairs. Her voice held a 'hurry up' in it so he came down followed closely by Otenko. "What's wrong?" "Something got through the barrier." Zazie was looking at her staff which was glowing a faint gold. "Undead?" It sounded like a stupid question about a barrier that was supposed to keep the Undead out of the area but one could never be too careful. "I don't think so. It would be glowing a lot more if it was." Zazie frowned. "I'll go look. You two stay here." Sabata half expected something from Lita but she didn't say anything and he left with Otenko.

He ran to the area that once held the Piledriver. "What do you think it is?" He asked while crossing the bridge. "I'm not sure...hum?" Otenko stopped suddenly and frowned. "What?" "It's not Dark Matter I'm feeling...it's Solar." "..." Sabata took off as fast as he could, not hearing Otenko call after him. He stopped at the foot of the symbol used to summon the Piledriver, staring straight ahead. Straight at his brother.

Sabata took one step towards him when Django swayed and fell over. He ran over and picked him up off the ground. The Solar Boy was out cold and his body was covered in wounds, some old, some new, and looked like he had been beaten to an inch of his life. "Ah..." Quickly, he yelled over his shoulder for Otenko. The sunflower appeared and floted back a bit when he saw him. "I need Lita. Go get her!" "Alright." Otenko disapeared and Sabata started walking towards the bridge slowly. Almost like a trance, he was just too...

"So he got away, hun?" "Yes sir. I'm sor--" The red haired man shook his head at the other kneeling before him. "It's not a problem." He started chewing on a nail and reached over for a snack bag. His eyes widened. "Great, it's cherry!" Without looking back at the sill kneeling person, he broke the bag open with a loud 'pop' and began to eat. "Him getting away just makes it more fun and that's just what I want. Anyways, who cares if they find out who we are?" He snapped open another bag. "I just want to play, and I had such fun with him sooo...we'll do it again."
