-Ch.6-

Back with Lu and Maki, they had reached Payon town in time to get some lunch. It had taken longer then they wanted to get to town, running into a quite a few monsters. The two talked while eating, getting to know each other some more, till the two saw sharp objects come out of a house, following a man running out with a little girl in his arms. She was laughing, clapping her hands cause it was funny. Lu and Maki sweatdropped, then blinked when a knife landed on their table.

"I wonder what happen…"

"I donno Maki. Wanna find out?" Maki nodded, getting up after leaving money for their food on the table.

The two walked over to the house, which was safe to go near cause the end of the sharp things. The man holding the little girl was pointing and laughing inside the doorway, so Maki walked up to him and tapped his shoulders lightly.

"Excuse me.."

The man, Kuro, looked up and smiled "Yea?"

"If you don't mind me asking, what happen?"

"Oh…Len and I woke up my friend, Rain, and she gets mad…equaling the sharp pointy things to chase us out the door."

Lu laughed and looked inside the door. Rain was there, glaring at Kuro, who 'eeped!' and hid behind Maki.

"SAVE ME!"

Rain sighed before looking at Lu and Maki. "Hi…sorry if I disturbed you two from anything."

"No problem! We were done eating anyway!" Lu chirped, smiling brightly.

Rain smiled back, "I'm Rain. That's Kuro and my daughter Len."

Maki bowed a lil, his armor not exactly letting him. "I am Maki."

"My name is Lu!"

Len jumped out of Kuro's arms and ran to Rain. "Mommy, can you make some breakfast…please"

Rain nodded and looked at Maki and Lu. "If you wanna come in, you can. If you have places to be, sorry to disturb you during your breakfast," Rain said before walking off with Len.

Maki looked at Kuro, and then Rain, and back to Kuro, "Is she your wife or something?"

Kuro flinched before a sad look fell apon his face. "No…I'm not."

Maki frowned "Sorry Kuro."

Kuro shook his head, "Its ok…a lot of people ask. I want to be her's…but I donno how she feels about me.." Kuro stated, walking inside, "Come in if you want to…we'll be leaving soon to go somewhere soon. You can join us if you want to."

Maki and Lu looked at one another, walking inside the small home. It was a traditional looking Japanese house. A hallway, closet, restrooms, kitchen…perfect for a small family. Lu smiled "This is a nice house."

"Thanks, it took awhile to get." Rain said coming out of the kitchen.

She had a small plate of Strawberry Dofu and set it down on a decent size table by a couch. "You can have some. Kuro and Len are in the kitchen eating their breakfast."

"Your not gonna eat?" Lu asked, a look of shock in her eyes.

"I don't eat much. A small snack here and there, but no I'm not going to eat." Rain got up after setting the plate down, going into the hallway towards the rooms. She came back out in a assassin outfit and daggers in her hands. Maki looked at the daggers, courious about it.

"You're a dagger assassin?"

"Yea. Easier to use. So…why is a priest and a paladin traveling together?"

"I found her with a sniper in the forest. I offered to help her seeing as the sniper wasn't going to. He mistreated her."

"Oh…"

Lu smiled "We are looking for an old friend of mine. He disappeared a long time ago." Rain nodded in understanding, walking toward the kitchen. "Hurry up you two. We need to train Len and then I'm going to help Lu and Maki find Lu's friend."

Kuro looked at Rain as if she had two heads, "I'll come. Your not leaving me alone here." Rain nodded and Len ran over to her side with a bright smile on her face.

"Mommy, can we bring dofu with us?" Rain nodded, "Do get dressed Len. I'll get us get ready to go."

-.-Later-.-

Len was at the rouge guild. She always wanted to be one cause her real dad was one. She looked up to him. Rain was a little disappointed about it, but supported Len's dession on her job. Rouges where a pretty good class, but some where considered sluts cause of the stalkers. Lu, Kuro, and Maki where outside with Rain. They chatted and played a couple games. Kuro would loose some, but make a joke out of it later on. Rain ignored them, just stared at entrance to the rouge guild, where some rouges stared at her, as if waiting for her to strike them. Assassins and rouges may be of the thief class, but it was as if they were sworn enemies. About 2 hours had past when they heard clicking of shoes. Len came out, shorter then other rouges, but a rouge none the less. She wore net stalkings and high heel shoes. A small sports bra and shorts with a jacket was all that covered her body. She had a bright smile on her face as she ran to Rain.

"I made it mommy!"

Rain picked her up, "Good job Len. Good job."

Len smiled brightly and ran off to show Kuro. Rain smiled, watching her daughter. 'Great job Len. I'm very happy for you.' She thought.

Kuro got up after Len ran off to Lu and Maki, going towards Rain. "Rain?"

Rain looked at Kuro, "Yes?"

"I…can I talk to you?"

She nodded and they both walked off after telling the others that they would be right back. Kuro and Rain stopped after a few minutes. He looked at Rain, his face a little red. "Er…Rain…I…" He stopped and got really close to her "I love you Rain…I've always loved you."

Rain's eyes widen a bit as her face got red really quick. "I…I love you too Kuro.."

Kuro smiled and pulled her into a kiss. After a couple minutes, he backed off and grabbed her hand "Come on, lets get back."

She nodded, her face still flustered. "Thank you…for telling me Kuro…" She whispered as they made their way back to the others.
