Rin POV

I waited in the woods with a young man, no more the thirteen. His name was Oliver, and he had recently hurt his eye and Leon had

bandaged it. "So, how long have you know Leon?" The boys sailer hat and hair hid his ears, and he shrugs at my question. "Most of his life, you

might not believe me, but I'm older then him by far." I chuckle and nod. "I don't, but I don't see a reason for you to lie either." He grunts,

clearly annoyed by having to watch me, but still sitting as if to wait for days. "How long do you think he'll take?" I rock on my heels, bored out

of my mind and thinking about what I'm going to do about Leon. "Well, guessing by the sudden silence, he finally got upset or serious so it can't

be long now. I'm just not looking forward to dragging him around."

Leon and my twin Len walk through a small bush, Oliver had fallen asleep but was sitting upright as soon as they got close. "Mornin

buddy." Leon looks like a tree fell on him, but Len was smiling brightly. "So, you DID have a backup plan eh?" Oliver sighs and tried to help Len

carry the armored man, but my brother just waved his hand as if to brush away a fly. "I got him. Do you... Ya know. Like him and Al?" Oliver's

face loses all color and he staggers, I decide it was best not to say anything. Oliver finally nods, and recovers from the shock, "You... You're just

a normal kid." Len shrugs, my brother and I were Wiccan but we only used our skills to heal, gods know we could do a lot of bad if we wanted

to! I pipe up, "Our house is just over there," Oliver watches my finger as I point behind a thick tree line. "Do you think you guys can make it?" I

know Len will say he can, but Oliver... I don't know. I look over to see he had left, and all that he left was a note saying, "Dear people. Due to the recent events

unfolding in the way they did, I must depart. I will send word to Leon's old master and his half sister. Farewell, my new friends." I sigh, so much for his help. We

drag the now sleeping Leon into our little home. We try laying him on one of our beds, but he is to tall, so we try the couch, but he roles off. Finally we give up

and lay him on the floor. I lean over Len, "What did you guys do? Oh, and why is your sword different?" I notice my brothers beloved swords hilt now had a

crescent moon imprinted on it.


Len POV

We leave Leon on the floor, poor guy barely made it back to see my sister. I sit and try to find a place to put the overgrown man, when Rin asks, "What

did you guys do? Oh, and why is your sword different?" I glance at my sword, seeing the shape on the hilt, "Well... He'll," I kick Leon lightly. "Explain when he

comes to." Now is the painful part, how to wake him up. I get a bucket of cold water and dump it over his head, nothing. I kick his armor but he dosent notice.

"Damn it! I'm going to hunt. You wake the idiot up." I storm off, how can such a vigilant man sleep so heavily? I grab my bow and a handful of arrows, he owes

me big time for this! With in ten minutes I had killed a deer and turkey, not that it was hard this deep in the woods. Now comes the hard part, how to get them

home. I walk over to one of the larger trees, "I'm sorry but I need some bark, pleas forgive me." I cut away a large pice of bark, and hope the tree lives. Leon

pops out of a shadow, "Hey kid." Something was out of place about his voice, it sounds lighter, and now that I think of it, Leon lost his worn down robe in the

fray with the Devourer. "Who are you?" I demand, raising my bow I level. My actions provoke a grin to spread across the shadows under the hod. "Heheh... You

are a brave one, tell me, what name do you go..." The voice stops as the purple eyes see the hilt of my sword. "So, you are the blessed kid. You seen any

weirdoes today? One really tall and one just kinda tall."


Lola POV

I watch as the blond boy takes down a deer and turkey, well he is a good shot. I step out the bush I was behind, "Hey kid." He turns around, recognition shining

in his foolish eyes, but vanishes into suspicion in a split second. He readies his bow, who da thought someone might run into a brave twerp in the woods, oh how

my brother would love to talk with this kid! "Who are you?" He demands in a strong voice, strong but uncertain. I fell a grin grow, from ear to ear, I wonder if

anyone would know if I kill this kid? "Heheh... You are a brave one, tell me, what name do you go..." A silver light catches my eye, it's high noon, the only silver

would be a blade or arrow! I recall what Oliver said, "Leon blessed a kid today, you know what that means." I had run to get ahold of my brother before Kaito

could. "So, you are the blessed kid. You seen any weirdoes today? One really tall and one just kinda tall." I ask, it was mean as a joke but the boy just glares at

me. "I asked who you were ma'am." I sigh, such a pain, to brave for his own good. Damn he's a lot like Leon in that way, I wonder what our big sis is up to? I

grab the boys neck with a snakelike tail, "You will take me to Leon, my brother and I have a lot to catch up..." Kaito's blue cape flickers behind a bush and I hear

him chuckle. "I see your temper is still short Lola. Tis a pity you can't control that." I drop the near purple faced boy, and feel my face heat up. This guy, can't he

take ANYTHING as more then a joke? I pull my sword,but am far to slow, Kaito has one of his Katars out and has it to my thought, ""Your brother had better

reactions before I trained him. Maybe you need to learn from him?" The little blond kid watches silently, I push the sharp and doubtlessly poisoned blade away.

"Yeah? Well we aren't all made to..." Kaito glares at me so coldly, I swear I can see the air freeze! Now the little blond kid opens his mouth, "Kaito? Leon

mentioned you before. He highly respects you, pleas come with me. He's out cold right now."
