How They meet...

"Go ahead. Sleep as much as you want. I'll be right here." I looked out into the darkness. Once again, I had someone to protect. I felt my life had some meaning.

She Went to sleep, Feeling Protected by Ryouma.

I just rested my head on hers. I would stay up all night to protect her. "I won't let anything hurt you." I quietly whispered so I wouldn't wake her.

She slept, and slept, but then woke, 2 hours later, and broke away from Ryouma, and ran, ran fast.

I was still awake holding Zia, when she broke from my arms. She took off. "Where are you going?!"

I decided to follow her. I started chasing after her to make sure she was okay.

She went, and jumped off a building, doing a flip, before landing, and keeping on running, she was not Consciously doing this, she had woken, then went back to sleep.

What's with her? I followed her to the end of a building where she jumped off.

I leaped off the building myself and continued after her. She didn't seem like herself. I was determined to find out what she was doing. I started running faster to catch up.

She slipped through a ally, and was sliding through bamboo sticks like it was natrual and did a flip onto a roof.

I watched her duck into an alley. I followed her. While she dodged the sticks, I got hit but brished off the pain. I jumped on to the roof after her.

"Zialni!" I was worrying about her.

She did not hear him, as she landed on the roof, and kept running, now running on closelines, and then jumping across the street.

"Dammit! Zialni!!" I wanted her to respond. I wanted to make sure she was okay. I wouldn't stop chasing her. I promised to protect her, so I was determined to do so.

She Jumped and failed to land, and fell backwords, falling Unconsious.

I saw her fall. "Nooo!" I was so scared she was hurt. I ran to her as fast as my body could move.

I stopped and kneeled next to her. I lifted up her upper body. "Please be okay. Please say something." I pulled her close and held her in my arms. I felt tears begin to well in my eyes.

I hoped she was okay. I hoped she would say something.

2 Words came from her lips, in her Unconsiousness.... "Ryouma... NO!"

I heard her voice. At least she was alive. "It's okay. I'm here." I held back the tears.

I decided to take her to get some help. I picked her up and carried her to the hospital. "I'll get you some help. Don't worry."

She layed unconsious.

I carried her unconscious body to the hospital. I got there and tried to get her healed up. During this time, I never left her side.

She slowly began to awake, numb, and near senceless.

I saw her eyes open and I immediately hugged her.

She hugged him back and then asked, "Where am i?"

I looked at her. "You're in the hospital. You had me worried sick. Are you okay?"

"Yes... was i on the run?"

"Yeah. You were running all over town... until you fell and went unconscious."

"O dear... those nightmares are back..." She said, with a fear in her face.

I looked at her. "You need to tell me what happened. I was so worried. What are these nightmares about?"
