"No!" Fiona shouted as she slammed her fist on the wall," I will not agree to this, this is dangerous for your brother, Liuxang!"

"I don't care how much you say no, Fiona, he is my brother and I will do what I want to do," Liuxang replied," whether you like it or not."

"This could kill him, Liuxang."

"Isn't he not dead?"

"Shut up! He will wake up, I know it!"

"That's why I am using him for this very important mission."

"Important or fatal?" Fiona bit out.

"Both, I don't care how much you object, Fiona, if you do a hunger strike, I'll just make Hua Tuo force food down your throat."

"You've changed. I hate you."

"You've always hated me Fiona, ever since that time." Liuxang said it with grim finality.

Fiona bit her lip until she felt the red metallic-tasting liquid pouring out. She faced the man who she used to know sitting calmly behind his desk. She banged her fist yet again on the desk, and a tear fell out, one, two ...

She stopped counting and let it all go.

Ralos and Luna carried their "patient" to the jeep. Not caring about him, they both heaved him to the car without a thought of his own safety.

"Now be careful you two," Walter said as the hauled the patient to the jeep without care whatsoever," You both know how Liuxang hates it when you handle cargo."

"And what the cargo is specifically?" Kay asked with a grin. Walter couldn't help smiling when he saw Kay's grin, it reminded him of two treasures he had lost but now found.

"Remember the lines?" Ralos asked Luna, his sister was making sure he disguise held no clues to who she really was inside. She would now be addressed as Ranul, the older brother of Ralos, while Ralos would just be himself, not Sola anymore. Luna sighed glumly since she would not get a chance to him in girl's clothes for the time being.

"Luna?" Ralos cut her thoughts as he waited impatiently for her answer, he was tapping his fingers on the hood of the car to voice it. He had an inkling of what his older sister was thinking but what could he do? Her speed made up to her lack of strength and she could very well knock him to the floor if he pissed her off.

"Yeah. Hi I'm Ralun and this is my younger Ralos, this Fay Kara Day, my younger brother's girlfriend –"

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN GIRLFRIEND?" Ralos half-shouted, half-demanded, he was blushing crimson, just the same color was on Kay's face.

"That's right, Ralos and I are just friends," Kay argued. For some reason, Ralos felt a stab in his heart.

"But you two kissed," Luna argued with an innocent smile.

"Shut up! You both made us –" Ralos and Kay stopped their tirade. It was a mistake, it was always a mistake to say Shut up to Luna, whether it was meant or said unintentionally, they both still had hell to pay for.

"What did you say?" Luna asked with a pleasant smile that failed to hide the killing intent in her voice.

Hua Tuo sighed as he heard the screaming and the thrashing, why couldn't they be quiet when they leave? It disturbs the patients. Hua Tuo nodded to himself and continued with his paper work.

Shi Long, Miles and Franziska still couldn't move as seeing Qilin alive and well after six long years. It was too impossible for their logic based brains.

"Shi Long, you're crushing me," Qilin said as she squirmed uncomfortably.

Shi Long then noticed how awkward their positions were and immediately let go of Qilin. Out of protectiveness, Miles and Franziska glared at him.

"Sheesh, Miles, Franziska, we're married, let it go," Qilin remarked with a sigh.

"How could you even be alive? You're supposed to be dead!" Franziska was hurt and angry for being kept in the dark. "You could have at least told us you were still alive!"

"And get you into danger, I'm sorry Franziska, but telling you would have had you killed by the Heilongs."

The atmosphere tensed when Qilin mentioned the name.

"What would the Heilongs want with you?" Miles asked.

"They killed Dad and Mom, and in the end, they killed Huoniao too, I ... I didn't want to lose anyone anymore, so when I realized I was still alive I bolted."

"But Liuxang –"

"Liuxang is a great actor, tell me Miles, what is the name for the leader of the Heilongs?"

"I don't know."

"Liuxang, that means that that title isn't his real name."

"Then why Qilin does he act so convincing?" Franziska asked feeling like a fool for believing the scum bag.

Qilin paused and held her head low. "You wouldn't believe me."

"Qilin, I'll believe you."

"You didn't believe me when I left, you slashed my face."

That painful memory opened the old wound in Franziska. "I hurt you, I'm sorry."

"Sorry? That doesn't count."

"I'll believe you this time."

"But Miles won't, he destroyed the project both of us made together."

Miles swallowed hard, the old memory was still fresh in his mind. "I'll believe you this time."

Qilin looked at them questioningly, wondering if she could trust them with the knowledge she would impart. She looked deeply into Shi Long's eyes.

"Shi Long," she said," why is it that you could never catch a Heilong, tell me, I won't laugh at you."

Shi Long didn't even blink. "They are fast, faster than an average human, they could catch a bullet aimed straight at them. They are also strong, they were strong enough to hold off a portable missile that was launched straight at them, and they were agile enough to leap over roofs."

"What?" Franziska and Miles exclaimed.

"Is this true, Qilin?" Miles asked.

"It's very true," Qilin said in that characteristic smile of hers.

"There is something in the Heilongs that we always wanted to catch them for," Shi Long added.

"And what's that?" Franziska asked.

"Human experimentation via forced evolution."

Qilin smiled as the prosecutors tried to absorb the news. "You know why Liuxang was able to recover fast from that car accident?"

Both of them nodded.

"It's because he's an evolved human."
