The setting sun reflected orange off the crystal clear lake. The orange scarf usually wound around her neck laid to rest at her side as she pulled the leather-like vest off. Her fiery red hair shaded her face as she took the belt off her waist. Laying it on the scarf, the then took the leg pack and bandana off. Laying back in the grass, she stretched and looked around, making sure no one was around. Once more, she glanced up and watched the sun sink down behind the trees, and soon the pale light of the moon decorated the area. Kylia shed the remaining articles of clothing, then hurriedly went into the chilling water. Kylia shivered and held her hands to her chest as she waded out to in the water. Once the water came tickled her belly button, she stopped. With her back to the shore, she slowly let her arms drop into the water. She splashed her arms with water, then she ducked under quickly and shot back up. The once fiery hair was estinguished and looked almost black. Kylia flipped her hair out of her face and swam close enough to shore to sit down in the water. She gazed up at the stars.

Leo was walking through the dense bushes, he could've sworn he saw a bright orange fire be splashed out and so he very carefully crept towards the area. When he came out of the bushes, quite quietly, he looked for the enemy camp and found none. He was wearing his sleeping clothes, he had been in the area earlier, swimming and enjoying himself. The last thing Leo expected was enemies, but the fire was definitely there. When he looked towards the water he noticed a girl in the water, she looked familiar, very familiar.... "Kylia!" he turned a deep red and his katana fell to the ground. He couldn't stop looking.

Kylia splashed around and immediately went into deeper water and ducked below the surface to cover herself. In the pale light, she could just barely make a figure out. She squinted her eyes and blinked. She knew that voice... "L-Leo?!" She called out. She thanked God it was dark, her face was nearly as dark as her hair.

Leo smiled, "Wow Kylia, what are you doing here..." he couldn't stop smiling as embarressing the situation was. Leo couldn't see her that well, but he knew he was right when she called his name, "I thought you were an enemy so i came to see what was happening..." he blushed even more, "I didn't expect to find you... as you are" he couldn't wash away that darn smile.

The sound of water splashing would get louder as she got to shore, "Hey... Turn around for a moment." She called out. Once Kylia saw him turn, she quickly darted to her small camp and covered up with a blanket to dry off. "Ok..." She confirmed and looked at Leo. Her cheeks were still dusted with the blush. For one of the brief times in her life, she was speechless. She laughed softly; nervously. She again thanked God for it being dark, Leo wouldn't be able to see the scars decorating her skin.

Leo heard her say turn around and as he turned he did manage to catch a glimpse of her, she was moving to fast for him to see well though. Leo came back around when she said ok he turned back to her, she was blushing a little and it only complemented her more. She was definitely one of the most beautiful women he had seen in a while. He listened to her laugh, it made him smile more, "It's ok, I didn't really see anything..." he grinned, "So ease your heavy heart Kylia, you have nothing you need to hide from me..."

Kylia shouted a laugh, "I think I have everything to hide from you right now!" She tightened the blanket around her. She gazed steadily at him, then flipped a few pieces of hair behind her ear. "So... what brings you here besides thinking an enemy is here?"

Leo blinks, he didn't get what she really had to hide now, but he shrugged it off. Leo smiled, "I was in the area and decided to camp out, I was planning on training in the morning then saw the fire go out, I figured there were some enemies in the area that had heard me, like those guys we fought last time..." Leo had really grown since that last time, he became a little more confident. He leaned walked over to Kylia and sat down next to her, "So why are you here?..." he smiles.

Kylia got her arm out from under than blanket and made a gesture that covered the lake, "To relax. Like I said.. this is like my area to think. It's still my home, in a way." She smiled sadly. With her arm free she reached across Leo. The moon was now bright enough and it illuminated the scars on her arm and hand. Her fingers grasped her cloths and she brought them under the blanket. A smile suddenly formed across her face as she began to get dressed under the blanket, "Have you eatten yet?" she asked and looked at him. She stood up and jumped slightly; she was pulling her pants on. She still stood with her back to him. She leaned down and grabbed her shirt. She glanced over her shoulder, then looked around, "Close your eyes briefly..." She laughed. When she assumed he did so, she dropped the blanket and quickly pulled her shirt on. however, if he wouldn't have closed his eyes, he would have just bare made out various small scars and one long on going from her right shoulder to the left of her spine; stopping at her waist. Even with her shirt on, half of it was still visible. "ok." She announced, turned back around and sat next to Leo. She smiled softly.

Leo smiled kindly, although he saw the many scars, he did not withdraw from her. He simply tilted his head, "Are those from all the people you beat up" he said as a joke, hoping to ease her enough for her to comfortably talk about it. He completely avoid the food question, he hadn't eaten all day and the last time they were together she had fed him too, he didn't want to seem like some homeless guy whose always in need of food. Leo slid his katana next to him so it wasn't just on the ground and then looked at her with a warm and, hopefully, charming smile.

Kylia laughed softly, "The one's I beat up? Yea, some of them are... Others are from people beating me up..." She smiled and looked at her hands. She had yet to put her gloves on as well. She held her hands out and tried to angle them enough in the light to get the moon to reflect of the scars, "The newer one's on my hand is from a fight with a stupid little chicken I was trying to catch for dinner yesterday." She laughed. Kylia pushed her sleeves up to reveal her arms. "Demons, animals, humans...and inanimate objects." She chuckled softly. She turned completely for her back to be to him. "That big one..." She reached around and attempted to point to it. "That's from a capture gone horribly wrong... Poison on the blade... See how it's slightly raised? You can touch it..." She frowned slightly, "It never properly healed..." She smiled again. "But I lived!"

Leo watched as she pointed to each scar. He could feel the pain and could tell that each one had some meaning, grand or trival, that made her who she is today. Leo followed her lead and felt her scar on her back, he traced it from her lower back, up to her shoulder, and all the way back down to her lower back. He took a deep breathe, it was saddening, he could tell that even though she hid the pain it was still there. He took a deep breath and turned her around, "Kylia..." he pulled her into a hug, "I'm glad you lived..." he whispered to her.

Kylia looked at him slightly shocked and hugged back. She felt her heart race briefly, then calm down. "I'm glad I did too." She whispered back, then moved back slightly to look him in the eyes. She was captured by them.

Leo wondered what she was thinking, and hoped that he wasn't the only one who felt his heart race. He looked at her directly and smiles, "So uh..." he didn't really know what else to say, but he knew he had to say something. He stretched and moved closer to her again, he didn't want to feel like she was leaving.

Kylia tucked herself under his arm. "I'm not going anywhere." She laughed. She gazed across the lake and let her hand run up and through his hair. "And I hope you're not going anywhere either..." She added as a whisper.

Leo smiled as she ran her finger through his hair, it was nice. He looked over at her, it was something about Kylia that made him smile, he didn't know what it was, but she was really something special, "I'm not going anywhere..." he whispered and pulled her a bit closer. He took her chin and gently turned her towards him, he pulled her closer and kissed her.

Kylia's heart and stomach did flips. She lightly kisses back and pulled away; her cheeks even more red than before. "T-thank you." She muttered, again, speechless. A huge grin beamed across her face as she looked at Leo. She slowly let her hand wrap some of his hair lightly around a finger.

Leo grins, "you don't have to Thank me.... I wouldn't miss you for the world" he looks out over the lake, "Besides, i think me and you have something in common." he looked back at her, "We both have a connection to this place... I don't know why but I feel like i'm suppossed to be here..." he frowns, "even though i know i don't belong in this world, in this place... with you... I feel like it's right." he smiles at her and takes a hand holding her cheek.

If possible, she went yet another shade darker. "Maybe then I can settle down and stop looking for where I belong. After all my travelling... I always end up back at home." She smiled and slowly let her hand drop out from the back of his head. She caressed his cheek, turned and looked across the lake. A beautiful scene.

Leo looked at her as she looked across the lake, it's was truly beautiful but he could feel the sadness coming from her. He smiled, "As long as i'm alive, I will be where you belong... If you let me..." He was trying hard to make her happy, for some reason, even when she was in this dark mood, she was so alluring, so lovely...
