He finished the story by telling them how the skull now sits on the front of his bike. Burberry took a bite of her food. "Did you ever find out what the thing in foxy's mouth was?" Burberry asked. "Nope it burnt out completely when it hit the fire. I guess that was what killed Kyuubi." Ace said taking a drink. Harley was really quiet this whole night. "Harley? Is something wrong?" Ace asked. "Hmm? Oh its nothing." Harley said. "If you say it is nothing it's definitely something." Burberry said.
"Harley come on. Tell me what's wrong." Ace said. "It's just… what are we going to do? Like when we reach the end of our adventure? Are we going to go on more or are we just going to go back to the old life and await death? I'm loving this new adventure even though there are parts I hate, like the sisters, I don't want to go back to my boring old life. I want to feel the rush and freedom of adventure forever." Harley said. Ace thought for a while, silence only being broken by the cracking of the fire. "I don't know how to respond to that but I'll try. Whether or not we go on more will be a game of chance really. We might not even survive this one. I do like the new pace we're going at as well. As for the rush it truly is something and the freedom of not being burdened." Ace said.
"Well… I guess I can take that answer." Harley said. "What about you Burberry? Why are you coming along with us?" Harley asked. "My own personal reasons." Burberry said. "Naaaah! I thought it was because of how attractive I was that you couldn't get away!" Harley said. Burberry looked at her and raised an eyebrow. "You do realize she is a lesbian right?" Ace asked. Harley's face started to grow red and she looked over at Burberry, who teased her by blowing a kiss. "I'm going to bed." Harley said quickly and quickly got in her tent. "Does she like… you know not like… gay people?" Burberry asked. "No she just gets like that when something happens that confuses her. One time Maya, you haven't met her yet, I let her stay at my place and it confuses Harley and pretty much the same thing happened." Ace said. "Does she swing both ways or..?" Burberry asked. "She chased after me for pretty much a year. I never asked if she was into women. Wouldn't mind it though… I think it's pretty hot." Ace said.
"Is that you or the alcohol talking?" Burberry asked. "The alcohol most likely but still it is pretty hot." Ace said then staring into the fire. "Watch it there buddy. If you think any harder, you might start drooling." Burberry said. "Just be glad it isn't something else that's hard." Ace said, making them both laugh. They both looked up at the full moon. "Hey Ace?" Burberry started to ask. "Yeah?" "Is this… what friendship feels like?" Burberry asked. "Yeah… yeah I guess it is." Ace said. Ace turned and looked at Burberry. He watched as he saw how beautiful she looked in the moonlight. She had a slight smile.
"I haven't felt this in so long." Burberry said. "Why is that?" Ace asked. "Like you probably could tell. I've been around for a long long time. In fact, I feel like I've… been here before. But long long ago there was a girl, short with black hair, green eyes, warm heart, beautiful. I met her on a journey of mine, we were heading the same way and went together. Along that journey, I started to fall for her. I never told her because I wanted to be her friend and I didn't want to ruin my chances. I once had a friendly duel with her, thinking I would win because no one had ever beat me before, but she won instead. Anyway, fast forward and I slowly started to sense that there was a massive power in this woman, the woman whom I loved. Later down the line… someone attacked her for this power. I put them down but not before she had sustained lethal injuries. I ran over to her and tried to help her up. There were tears in her eyes as I put pressure on the wound. I tried to lift her up but instead… she kissed me, passionately. I looked at her with wide eyes and her last words were "I love you… and will always." I picked her up and started to run as fast as I could to the nearest town but it was no use. As I ran she fell apart, like glass shard and then burst into a sort of black dust. Then out of the cloud rose a black smoke ghost of her and it flew away into the distance. The only thing I have left of her was a scrap of cloth with seven other people and one other looked like a delicate representation of me, sewn onto it with the words "Never forget." After that I vowed to honor someone who could be me in rightful combat and those with power like hers. Power like yours." Burberry said.
"Like mine?" Ace asked. "Yes, inside you looms a power kind of like hers. I'm going with you for the faint chance I will find something about her. There is basically no chance but still any similarities I will hold on to in hope." Burberry said. "Well I've opened my soul up enough. I'm going to bed. See you in the morning Ace." She said as she got up and went to bed in her tent. Ace sat there, thinking. He couldn't make any sense of anything she had just said but still. A woman with a memoir to never forget and Burberry feels like she has been in this same position before. Ace shrugged it off and kicked back against the tree and soon fell asleep.
