Samus eyes slowly fluttered open, the blonde girl groaned as she held her head. She felt sore all through out her body. The blonde girl then noticed that her head was wrapped up in bandages and most of her upper body as well. Slowly her memories started to replay the events before she had fell unconcious.

"Naruto?" she thought to herself and looked around for any sight of him. Though her surroundings were foreign to her, Samus could tell that she was back in the Leaf village.

"Relax" the village's leader said as she entered the room, revealing her presence.

"You are safe now"

Tsunade walked up to the blonde girl's bed, she had been meaning to talk to her visitor in private and now was her chance.

"Where's Naruto?" Samus asked with nothing but great worry and anxiety.

At this Tsunade couldn't help but to raise an eyebrow, the girl was highly concerned for the blond shinobi. She stared at the girl before smiling. Tsunade remembered the report when they had found Naruto and Samus. Though badly wounded, Samus was snuggling Naruto into her arms. Yamato had also mentioned that it made Sakura a bit jealous when she caught the scene. Tsunade could see she was growing attach to the blond.

"He is resting" Tsunade answered but it wasn't enough to calm the blonde down.

"I need to see him!" Samus winced as she tried to move, it had seem her body was still healing.

"Naruto is resting, he's been exhausted of his chakra but he'll recover in no time." Tsunade said this hoping the blonde would relax. Even though Tsunade knew Naruto was a speedy healer she knew that the blond would take more time for him to wake up.

"You on the other hand need to regain your strength before you can go see him." the busty woman shushed any protest Samus tried to make, "Get your rest and you can see him tomorrow morning"

Tsunade made her way towards the door but before she could even reached the door handle, she heard the blonde in bed speak.

"Naruto..." Samus said softly, "Wasn't himself back then. He attacked me but it wasn't him. It was the Metroids and...and..."

Samus trailed off as she didn't really know how to describe what she had seen. While it was a form of an animal she couldn't actually call it that, it was more of a beast unlike she had ever seen one with terrifying power.

"That wasn't Naruto was it?"

The blonde girl stared intently at Tsunade for an answer, she just had to know.

"So you did see it huh?" Tsunade sighed, Yamato had told her that the Kyuubi's power had been leaked but had been suppressed somehow, Yamato had believed that the blonde girl was somehow able to push the Kyuubi's chakra back and that those parasites were involved. Tsunade was actually impressed by the girl, not many could take on Naruto's dangerous cloak. Turning towards Samus, Tsunade saw her eyes filled with worry and concern. "No, that was not Naruto" Tsunade said making the blonde girl close her eyes and sigh in relief.

"However that is a part of him" At this Samus grew confused. Tsunade immediately noticed and sighed. She knew the old law and what she was about to tell the young woman was illegal but then again Tsunade was Hokage and she could bend the rules if she wanted to.

"What I am about to tell you is an old law made by out third Hokage, it is forbbiden to speak of this..." Tsunade nodded to herself as if asking herself for permission. "But I think you deserve to know if we are to continue working together"

Samus was anxious, a forbbiden secret that involved Naruto. "What is it?" she dared asked.

Tsunade crossed her arms, hugging her stomach. Her facial expression turned serious. She stood quiet as she thought the best way to explain.

"Sixteen years ago, our village was attacked by a demon known as the Nine Tails or Kyuubi"

Samus raised an eyebrow at the mention of the word 'demon'. She had never believed in such things but nonetheless she continued listened to the woman's story without interrupting her.

"The beast was as big as a mountain and powerful enough to wipe out our land in an instant. The Kyuubi destroyed our home and took many of our loved ones. With no other choice the Fourth Hokage made a difficult decision..."

"He choose to sacrifice himself in order to save our home. The Kyuubi, being the strongest of the tailed beast, was sealed into a newborn child...and that child was-"

"-Naruto" Samus whispered to herself as she pieced in the information herself, she couldn't believe what Naruto possessed.

"Yes, that is Naruto's curse. That his burden. That is what he has had to live with his entire life" Tsunade nodded and looked at the blonde girl, she could already tell she wasn't taking this easy.

"But why him?" Samus shouted trying to understand why his own people would do something so terrible, "Why didn't they seal it into someone else? Someone older? Why didn't his parents do something?"

Tsunade couldn't tell her that it was his parents who had made that decision, it wasn't in her place to say. It only made the story much more difficult to explain especially to someone outside this world.

"Naruto was the perfect candidate at the time and there was no one else who could of taken his place"

Samus clenched her jaw, she couldn't believe it, a kind soul being forced to keep a demon inside him.

"Having the Kyuubi inside him made him a Jinchuriki, he was to be viewed as our village's hero and our savior. However, like most Jinchuriki, Naruto lived his life being hated because he was instead seen as the Kyuubi itself"

Samus' eyes shut tight, she gripped the sheets of her bed, she trembled in mixed emotions of anger and sadness.

"Naruto did live a life without the love of his parents. He never had a family when he was young. He was an orphan and because of the Kyuubi, it was difficult for him to make any friends"

Samus understood the life of solitude, when she was young she had lost her parents, she never imagined that Naruto shared the same life as her. To Samus, it seemed like at first looks he was loved by everyone his personality was just so warm. She wouldn't of never guessed that he kept a demonic force deep inside him.

Tsunade watched as the blonde girl was having a hard time accepting this however Tsunade smiled, she believed that this girl cared very deeply for Naruto. Tsunade didn't want to end her story there.

"However as Naruto grew, he didn't choose to get back at those who mistreated him, he choose to work hard to change the people's view of him. Naruto has that strange power... to reach people's hearts"

Samus smiled and nodded as she let her tears stream down her cheeks. At the moment, Samus didn't care if someone saw her cry. She fully understood what Tsunade meant, she had seen it when a villager had came up to them. Back then Samus didn't understand what was going on but now she knew why that man had broken down and begged for Naruto's forgiveness. The blond had accomplished something Samus would never dream of. Naruto had managed to change her, somehow she could already tell that he had reached inside her heart and touched it. Samus was smiling more, laughing more and saying more than a few words. Samus liked it. She loved being around Naruto and meeting his friends.

Tsunade smiled as she had gotten the blonde girl to calm down.

"Now" Tsunade said catching the girl's attention, "Get some sleep and tomorrow you can pay him a visit" Samus gave the Hokage a small happy smile before she nodded.

Once the Hokage had left, Samus was left alone in her bed, she stared out the window and look at the village. She had heard that the place was in terrible condition after the recent attack but looking at the progress the village was already shaping up to looking rather beautiful. Once her eyes started to feel heavy, she fell asleep moments later, dreaming about the whiskered blond.


Samus looked around her surroundings, she was just outside the Leaf's gate. She didn't know what she was doing there or how she had gotten there in the first place. She was the caught by surprise when Naruto landed in front of her with a look of excitement.

"Hey Samus! Look what I can do!"

Naruto shouted with a toothy grin, he formed a cross with his fingers for his signature move before shouting.

"Power Suit no Jutsu!"

Samus sweat dropped and didn't expect much to happen but before she could say anything, small white clouds poof'd and then saw Naruto was completely hidden. Her eyes widen in disbelief as the clouds cleared, she couldn't believe the sight before her eyes. There stood her power suit right in front of her, it had the same design except it was different colored. His suit's primary color was blue instead of orange, along with a same red color for the helmet his arm cannon was also green.

"Na-Na-Naruto..." she stammered as her jaw hung low, "How? When?"

Naruto just grinned behind his vizor, "C'mon, Samus. Don't cha' remember our bet?"

"Bet? What bet?" She never once remembered such a thing happening.

"If I woke up before you then I'd get to use your suit and you have to be wearing that"

The blond's grin grew bigger before he pointed at the woman. Samus followed and saw that she was wearing his clothes but instead of pants they were short shorts and instead of a long sleeve jacket Samus wore a sleeves jacket with the zipper down revealing that she wore nothing but mesh under. Samus quickly covered her chest and blushed and then gave the blond a glare. Naruto laughed before deactivating his power suit, her glare was rather cute, as she tried to look serious she only made herself look adorable with that blush spread across her face.

"C'mon! It doesn't look too bad" Samus blushed even more when he lift her chin gently and locked his eyes with hers. Samus couldn't help but melt into his stare, she felt like putty.

"I guess it wouldn't of been too bad if you woke up before me..." Naruto said which caught Samus' attention, slightly breaking from his hypnotic stare.

"Why? What do I win if I woke up first?" she asked as her eyes stared half lidded.

Naruto smiled, "Wake up and find out" he then leaned in to her lips. Samus lips almost touched Naruto's, before she was blinded by a bright light.


Samus eyes popped open, she blushed as she was just about to kiss Naruto! Sure it was a dream but damn it, Samus was upset she didn't get to kiss him. She blushed and was glad no one was around to see her embarrassing predicament.

"Have a nice dream?"

She was wrong. There stood Tsunade once again and with a teasing smile. Samus frowned and looked away but her blush did not leave. Shaking her head she said, "No, just slept really well"

"Oh? but you sure were mumbling Naruto's name a lot... You didn't have any dirty dreams did you?" Tsunade couldn't help but grin as the blonde girl all but turned farther away from her trying to hide her glowing blush. She then laughed and waved it off.

"Forgive me, it just not many foreigners take interest in Naruto such as yourself"

Samus just nodded still trying to keep her cool but was failing miserably.

"Now..." Tsuande started as she got serious "I've come to tell you something I left out yesterday." Tsunade cleared her throat before beginning.

"There is a reason why our village is in critical condition and as to why we are heading to war"

Returning to her calm state, Samus nodded and listened to the blonde woman.

"This war is going to be about protecting the last remaining Jinchuuriki" Tsunade then crossed her arms under her bust and continued, "Along with another container, Naruto is one of the last ones out of the nine. If he falls into the enemy hands then our world will be doomed"

Samus eyes widen, if this war was about Naruto then his life would be in grave danger. She couldn't believe that there was a war over someone such as Naruto, Samus knew that they weren't after him specifically but what's inside him. The seriousness of this war worried her greatly. Why couldn't the blond have a normal life already? He had been through enough.

"I was careless to send Naruto out on a mission by himself and with a stranger we had just met no less."

Samus then realized this is why she was being suspected back then. They were afraid for Naruto's safety. It would totally justify their actions from before.

"Once Naruto is fully recovered, we will move him out to a secure location where he will be guarded so he will not fall into the enemy's hand. We will have another person in his place and-"

"No!" Samus interrupted, "I can't work with anyone else. Only Naruto can help me with this mission"

Tsunade only shook her head, "I am sorry but it is too much of a risk to let Naruto out. I have already let it happen and almost lost him. I cannot let that happen again"

Samus however did not want to work with anyone else, it wasn't because she couldn't get along with anyone else but because she wanted to keep being with the blond.

"I can protect him for you!" Samus said hoping it would change her mind but Tsunade did not budge, "I am sorry but I doubt even you can protect him from this enemy. He is just too powerful"

Samus rapidly shook her head, "No! I-I mean I can take him with me! In my ship"

At this Tsunade was curious as to what she meant, Samus saw her confused state and continued.

"I can take him off this planet for a short time and hide him perfectly"

Tsunade thought about it, while it would be good to have Naruto completely out of Madara's reach it still sounded too dangerous.

"I'm sorry but we cannot ask you to do that for us. I appreciate it but I will decline your offer"

"Listen I appreciate wanting to help but this isn't your war. You don't have to involve yourself with our problems." Tsunade gave Samus a small smile, "Now, get dressed and you can go see Naruto"

Samus wanted to say something, anything she could do to help them protect the blond but she didn't know what. She couldn't just kidnap him, or force them to agree with her. At this moment she needed to see Naruto, hopefully he wouldn't be too banged up.

"Oh by the way, please do not inform Naruto of our plans. If he finds out that we are keeping him away from the battlefield to protect him then he'll just run out to the enemy's hands"

Samus nodded and Tsunade smiled at her once more, the blonde woman then noticed something. Tsunade couldn't tell what it was but something seemed different, like something had changed from the girl's features.

"Were her eyes always this blue?"

Tsunade shook her head, she had been under a lot of stress so she thought nothing more of it. With nothing else left to say the blonde Hokage took her leave.

Samus was eager to see Naruto, she needed to get dressed quickly. She looked at her hospital gown and notice that she wasn't wearing her Zero suit. She wondered how the hell did they manage to remove it?


Samus sat in his bed as Naruto laid on the bed, he was still unconscious and healing. Samus smiled at the his peaceful form. She couldn't help it, just seeing him made her happy. She was glad he hadn't fallen to those parasite's clutches. Samus admired him, she admired his strength, his ability to keep going and not give in even when everything seemed lost.

"Naruto, I-"

Samus stopped herself, she remembered the incident when they were on her ship. She had yelled at him when Naruto was only curious about her. Samus stared at her lap while she was deep in thought.

"I'm sorry" she said, "It's just..."

Samus bit her lip when she had difficulty coming up with an apology, even though the blond couldn't hear her. Samus still had trouble speaking from her heart.

"You wouldn't keep your big nose out of my stuff!" Samus wanted to palm her face, even she thought that was a lame excuse for an apology. Her cheeks were burning, she frowned as if the sleeping blond was teasing her. Samus then pouted angrily, looking away from Naruto, Samus found it hard to apologize. She just wasn't good with this kind of stuff.

"I'm sorry..." she said in a small whisper. Glancing towards Naruto's sleeping form she said it again, "I'm sorry I yelled at you"

Once she was able to fully look at Naruto, Samus smiled to herself. She was proud of herself for this small achievement even it were a bit silly. Naruto truly did bring out the very best in people. She frowned when she noticed Naruto smiling. Her eye twitched, "He must be enjoying this even though he's asleep" However, she waved it off and smiled once more. Samus saw underneath that smile and found that he was genuinely happy for her.

"Thank you, Naruto" The blonde whispered, her hand approached his before she placed it on top of his. She felt his warmth comforting, something she rarely experienced.


A week had passed and Samus had gotten quite comfortable in the Leaf, even at the beginning of a war. Though Naruto had yet to wake up, Samus still enjoyed her time, the village was friendly, she occasionally wanted to glared at some of the villagers but didn't want to come off as a rude guest. Samus visited Naruto daily while she herself was still healing, when she was hungry Samus made a bad habit to go to Ichiraku's for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Though Samus mostly went to talk to Ayame, the two had gotten closer and became good friends. Ayame was surprised when Samus had finally let her know that she was from outer space and not from this world. Ayame didn't treat her any different however, she did ask about other planets just like Naruto did. Why was that such a popular question?

"Good luck" Ayame said, she grinned and gave her a thumbs up as the blonde girl left the ramen stand.

Samus had been notified, by the purple haired masked woman the same ANBU that had been keeping an eye on her, that Naruto had woken up a few hours ago. Samus was happy, excited, relieved and most of all, nervous. Making her way to the hospital she hoped the blond was feeling better.


"What are you?"

Those words echoed in Naruto's head, his eyes shuttered open and stared at the ceiling, his eyes turned to his body and saw that it was wrapped in bandages covering his wounds. He couldn't stop thinking about it, thinking back how he had released his other side. Naruto had been saved by the fourth Hokage back then but this time his father couldn't help him. The Metroids, those parasites brought it out of him, he couldn't fight it; they had sucked his chakra completely rendering him hopeless. Naruto's eyes continued bore holes at the ceiling, the hospital always brought bad memories and now he was filled with guilt.

"Samus" He thought as the memories started flowing back to him. He had attacked her. He didn't remember anything when he was under the Kyuubi's cloak but he did remember just after the Metroids had attached themselves to him. They were able to bring out the demonic chakra after depleting his and were able to gain control of his body. The words Samus said when she saw him take that form haunted him. She was disgusted by him, she was probably afraid to even be around him now after all he was the one who had hurt her. It may of been because he was under the influence of those parasites but he felt responsible for not controlling it.

Naruto wanted to see her, to see if she was okay but he felt the overwhelming guilt to be too much. He would just lay in bed. Shifting his head to the side he caught sight the sunflower as it eclipsed the sun's light. He wondered who had left a sunflower for him, it wasn't something he usually saw on his bedside. He slowly sat up and reached out for it, Naruto winced in pain, his arm was heavily wounded that it hard to move it. With his other arm he picked up the pot with the sunflower, his eyes soften and a small smile formed.

"Do you like it?"

Samus said, she stood in the doorway, Naruto was surprised to see the blonde girl but was even more surprised to see her in a light blue dress. It suit her, the color fit her and it made her look gorgeous. His eyes then made their way back to the flower in his hands, he slowly nodded as he stared at the yellow petals.

"Thank you" he said, Naruto avoided her gaze as she slowly walked inside. Samus was having trouble speaking, she wanted to talk to him about so many things and how sorry she was for the way she acted back then but she couldn't find the right way to say it. Dammit, she had practiced!

"N-Naruto" She whispered but the blond didn't catch it. She blushed as she buried her face in her bangs.

"I'm sorry!"

"Its my fault!"

They both stared at each other, they both felt like they were to blame. Naruto raised an eyebrow at her, she was apologizing when it was his fault for causing her any harm.

"Samus, what are you saying? I'm the one who should be sorry! You-You saw what I did..." he trailed off as the words Samus had once said back then came back haunting him once more.

"I'm not like anyone else. I have had this burden since I was born, I didn't want you to find out like this. I was gonna tell you but I-I-"

"Naruto!"

Samus yelled effectively shutting him up, she wanted him to stop apologizing. Seeing him like this made her sad. "It's not your fault" She said as her eyes met his with nothing but sincere kindness.

"Tsunade told me all about it" She saw his eyes widen when said this, she could see the look of worry in his eyes. Samus remembered what the busty blonde woman had told her.

"Naruto lived a life without the love of his parents. He never had a family when he was young."

"Because of the Kyuubi, It was difficult for him to make any friends."

"When I was young, I lost my parents too"

Naruto's eyes widen, Samus sat at the edge of his bed and continued. "It was hard but eventually I found someone I could call a father. Though he was always very strict and very bossy, he always thought about the best interest in me" Samus eyes relaxed as she stared at the floor, her memories replayed in her head as she told Naruto.

"However, I never saw it that way till the very end" Naruto daringly asked what happened and saw Samus give a small smile.

"That day he gave up his own life so I could live on... I had lost someone very precious to me" Naruto looked away, he didn't know what to say.

"I'm sorry" Samus shook her head as she tried to get him to look at her. "Naruto, I don't want you to think that I will abandon you after what happened, I wouldn't want you to" Samus grabbed his hand with hers, his eyes then met hers, he saw her eyes held strong feelings, he noticed the change "I am your friend no matter what! I'm sorry if I never made it clear"

Naruto, comforted by her words, felt happy that she finally thought of him as a friend. He closed his eyes and smiled brightly at bounty hunter princess. "Thank you Samus-chan!"

Samus cheeks redden at the nickname, she wanted to say something about the name but Samus actually liked it and decided it was fine for the moment. She then saw the plant that Naruto had cradled in his hand, she thought back how she came to choose that particular flower.


Samus had come across a flower shop, one that the Hokage had personally pointed out herself. Samus stood in front of the small shop before pulling the handle on the door and entering the shop. Upon entering Samus heard a bell jingle as the door opened and closed, she then heard a girl's voice call out.

"Welcome to Yamanaka Flower shop! I'll be there in just a minute!" the girl yelled from the backroom. Samus slowly nodded to herself and then began to looked around. She saw many different kinds of flowers some that were familiar and some that were new to her. Samus wanted to pick out the right flower to give Naruto while he was recovering, he had yet to wake up and Samus wanted something nice for him when he woke up. The only thing is Samus didn't know what kind of flower to pick, there were so many to choose from. She examined a light blue flower that resembled the color of her suit and considered it for a second.

"Hello there! How may I help you today?"

Samus turned towards the blonde girl who seemed to work the place. The girl in purple smiled warmly at her, "Oh sorry, My name is Ino Yamanaka" she proceeded towards the other blonde and examined her. "I'm guessing you're not from around here?"

Samus nodded, "I'm looking to buy a flower for a friend of mine"

Ino smiled and gestured her arm towards her beautiful collection of flowers, "Well look no further! Yamanaka flower shop is definitely the best place to get all your needs for that special flower!"

"Tell me, what kind of flower are you looking for? Anything in mind?" Samus thought about it, she had no idea what kind of flower would Naruto like or if he even liked flowers to begin with. Samus sighed and sweat dropped at the blonde girl.

"Actually I really don't know what kind he would like" Samus wasn't good at picking out gifts for people, she had trouble doing things like these.

"Oh so it's a 'he', huh? Is he someone you have a crush on but don't know the right words to say to him?" the sly smile on the blonde's lips told Samus that she was enjoying her time teasing her. Samus closed her eyes and tried pushing the heat away from her face. She cleared her throat and said, "No, he is just a friend of mine who got injured in battle"

The smile Ino had disappeared, "Oh I'm so sorry I didn't know"

Samus only shook her head and told her it was fine. Ino however startled Samus when she turned to her and grabbed her by the shoulders. "Wait! You don't mean Naruto Uzumaki right?"

Samus eyed the girl, "Yes, how did you know?"

Ino gave sympathetic smile as she knew all about the blond returning from a mission badly wounded. She had visited him one time when she had heard the news. Ino also heard, from Sakura that is, that he had gone with a blonde woman in a blue suit. Once she came here asking for a flower for a friend she put two and two together and well you get the rest.

"Everybody knows that clumsy dummy... But don't worry Naruto will make a speedy recovery soon!"

Samus smiled at the blonde girl before nodding. It was good to hear that he had people that cared about him.

"Now if you want your flower to stand out and get him to notice you, then you're gonna need one that comes from the heart" Ino said as she pulled the girl to a garden of pots of flowers of all sorts.

"I-I don't want him to notice me, I just want a simple flower" Samus stuttered which only made Ino smirk.

"So is that what you want? A simple flower?" Ino sighed and her eyes showed that they had lost interest, "I guess Naruto isn't that special, he never has been to begin with actually. He really is loud and obnoxious, glad I'm not in Sakura's shoes"

Samus stopped in her tracks as the blonde girl insulted the whiskered blonde. Ino turned to the girl and noticed she didn't seem too happy, she seem ticked, pissed even.

"He may be annoying to you but to me he is a kind person who not only works hard to make others happy but to protect the people he loves! I think you take him for granted!" Samus gave Ino a cold glared, "You should hold on to him because he is definitely one of a kind!"

Ino stared at the cold stare Samus was giving her before she smirked once more.

"So he is special...?"

Ino grinned as she got the blonde girl to confess her feelings out. It may of been mean but how else was Ino going to get her to talk. Samus glare dropped when the girl in front of her smiled, she mentally slapped herself for spitting out her private thoughts.

"Yo-You tricked me?" She stammered out which only made Ino's smile grow. Ino then casually waved her hand.

"Don't worry about it" she started with a grin, "I won't tell anyone, it'll be our little secret" Ino sealed her lips with her fingers as if there were zipper.

"Now about that 'Special' flower..."

Many minutes later, after viewing every flower the shop had to offer Samus made her decision. The flower came from the heart, the one that told her feelings was...

"Are you sure you want to get this one? I mean there's plenty of others that are far more better than this one" Ino said as she eyed the plant. She wasn't kidding when she said a simple flower.

"No I'm sure this is the right one" Samus smiled as she hugged the potted plant. A sunflower.

"Okay..." Ino said a bit confused at her choice but if it made the blonde girl happy with her choice then Ino would go along with it.

"How much do I owe you?" Samus asked

"Well let's see... Helping you out choose, add the cost of keeping me busy not to mention that the flower is our last one..." Ino calculated the total in her head as she had her eyes closed.

"The total comes to... One date with Naruto Uzumaki" Ino said before grinning at her last words. "With you of course"

"Wh-What?" Samus stammered out, her eyes wide open as a scarlet blush was spread across her cheeks. This made Ino's sly grin even bigger.

"You heard me! Once Naruto wakes up, you go on and ask him on a date"

"I refuse!" Samus all but yelled, "I have money to pay for it!" Even if she wasn't a Shinobi of this village, Samus had been paid for completing her mission even though it wasn't a complete success.

Ino pushed her hands in front of her while shaking her head, "Your money is no good here. Now..." the blonde girl dragged/pushed Samus to the door.

"You go and get a pretty dress and wait for him to wake up"

With that being said Ino slammed the door closed leaving Samus lost in the middle of the street.

"A pretty dress?" she thought to herself before going out to look for a store that would sell 'dresses'. Her expression remained cool and calm except that her cheeks were slightly pink.


"Samus?" Naruto called out to her as he flicked his fingers in front of her. The girl had been staring blankly at him for a while now. Samus shook her head lightly and looked away.

"I win" Samus said almost whispering which confused Naruto, Samus looked at him in the eyes with a determination in her eyes.

"I woke up first so I win!"

THE END... Oh just kidding, next chapter should be very exciting but why am I asking you that? Mwhahaha!

Quick note: I was out of town for a week for the Anime Expo(It was so cool), this was originally suppose to be posted up on Wednesday of last week along with 'N of the Dead' but I wasn't able to meet my deadline.
