Note: first fanfic, will improve as I go along, I have been a gamemaster on my past RP site so the action should be good, and I do not own Ben 10 or anything that is remotely like Ben 10.

AUTHOR'S NOTE OF GLORY: The relationships between the characters of this story are fun to do since you can do a wide range of things with them. I also like the close relationships because…well…they're cool to do. So far we have seen a pair where both know that they love each other (Heatjaws) and a pair where it is both mental and business (Ghostmatter). But there's one pair I like most of all and it has a rather sad theme to it.

"Help!"

"Help me Diamondhead!"

Yang saw up ahead in the distance a huge rock pile with boulders that were the size of cars. Instinctly, he ran forward, why, he did not know. All he knew was that someone was trapped in that rock pile and he had to save her.

The rock pile loomed large as he approached it, he then began to dig and dig for he had to save the person who was trapped in it.

"Help me Diamondhead!" cried the now faint voice.

"I'm trying!" he replied worriedly still digging away the rocks.

"Don't let me die…again…" said the voice.

The scene around him changed violently and he found himself falling through black mistiness. Voices cried out from all directions.

"That's what comes from love…" said one.

"They should have never met," said another.

"He should have honored the family code."

"Pity she had to die."

"…died…"

"…fallen…"

"…attack…"

"…alone…"

"…isolation…"

"STOP IT!" cried Yang as he gripped his head, "STOP THE VOICES!"

Diamondhead's eyes shot open as he awoke from the terrible dream. His whole body lurched forward and he quickly got out of bed. Breathing heavily, Diamondhead slowly sat back down. The bed creaked as his huge weight laid upon it.

"…it was all a dream…" he said to himself.

His eyes adjusted to the darkness, moonlight was flooding in through the window giving an eerie color off of the flowers. Shadows seemed big and exaggerated as if they were a threat to him. The moonlight barely lit the photograph with the yellowed eye Diamondhead and the mysterious female accompanying him.

Yang looked at the photograph and sighed.

"Why? Why do you not tell me your secrets? Why can't you rid me of these nightmares? What have I done to deserve such harsh treatment?"

The photograph said nothing.

"Is it her? Is it her that is doing me these horrific things?"

The photograph said nothing.

"Is it me liking her angered you? Have I upset you?"

The photograph said nothing.

Yang put his face in his hands and mumbled, "I wish I knew."

For those of you wondering where Yin is, he is still sleeping in Diamondhead's head. Blissfully unaware of the nightmares that Yang's been having.

Diamondhead looked out in the cool night and muttered, "I need to take a walk."

So he took off his pajama robe and slipped on his slippers. He grabbed a coat and put it on his big hulking body. Without making a sound, he exited his room and softly walked down the hallway of the dorm. Pushing away the doors, he entered into the outside world.

The wind howled against him as it blew its steady gusts. He hunkered down slightly and began to walk forward at a steady pace. But he stopped; he got the feeling that someone was watching him. It was as if he was a target for a hunter and he was ready to be shot down. He quickly looked around but found nobody there; he shrugged and told himself that it was nothing. After an hour of walking around the quiet campus he decided that he should go back to bed and sleep in a little so he would feel fine in the morning. As he was returning to the dorm he saw something straight ahead that made his feet froze.

XLR8 was apparently walking towards him…slowly…in her blue starred pajamas.

"…XLR8?" he said slowly.

XLR8 did not respond to his comment, in fact it seemed like she didn't even know he was there. She just kept walking on forward in her slow pace. The only sound she did made was that of a soft snore that came out in short hisses.

Yang placed his hand on his chin and stroked it softly, "so she's a sweep walker eh?"

Diamondhead quietly walked up to the sweep walker and stopped her gently with his gloves. She stopped but she continued to snore very sweetly.

"What are you doing out of bed?" Yang whispered, "you could hurt yourself if you continue on like this. Let's get you back to bed."

Through the foggy snores came her voice, "…yesssss…daddy…"

Taking each arm in his hand, he gently guided her forward through the pale night.

With her hand in his, he began to remember many memories of them together in the library…studying. At first these studies would be short and not very long, but soon, they studied more and more together in the library. In fact, the librarian had to check every once in awhile to make sure that they weren't making out like bad little teenagers.

With each passing hour, he liked XLR8 more and more until he couldn't stop thinking about her. The hours seemed to creep by without her and he seemed not motivated to do any work any more. Yin saw this and began to panic that something was wrong with Yang, Yang reassured Yin that he was okay and that he was just tired that's all.

XLR8 made a soft grunt and continued on sleeping. Slowly though, he continued forward through the night, the female dorm looming up ahead as he walked to it.

"Almost there XLR8," he said again in a whisper.

As they were walking, Yang began to feel sad again. He might like her a lot, but she doesn't like him as much. She only finds him a role model to look up to. Besides, ever since she found out that Diamondhead had two personalities…she has tried to stay far away from him.

Diamondhead stopped, so did XLR8.

"…they should have never met…" said Yang softly remembering the dream.

The wind howled once more as it pushed him towards the dorm. He sighed, and took XLR8's hand once more.

"…come XLR8…otherwise you'll catch a cold…"

"…yesssss…daddy…" she said ever so softly.

The two figures entered the dorm and all was silent once more.

Clank…clank…clank…

Out of the shadows of a nearby building walked out a tall robot. The robot tilted its head a bit and analyzed the scene it had just seen. Slowly, he walked back into the darkness.
