"Yeah, I saw them when they were assaulting that one villa..." said Luke looking back into the past.

"Are they important?" Leo asked as he made sure Luke kept moving while he watched their back.

"Hmm...I know they aren't on the evil side, because the angel one was in some way associated with the Mew Mews. The one in the combat armor helped defeat those followers of...Ithatae." said Luke still thinking back.

"Because she is the one that shot you and tried to take you away. So I assumed that she and the boy were part of that organization that is hunting you." Leo explaining his actions as he started to think that he might have made a slight blunder.

"I wouldn't say they are 'hunting' me, 'cause that implies that they want to kill me once they've caught me. I really doubt they'd want to kill me when they've spared me my life twice in the past." explained Luke. He kept walking with Leo, not knowing where he was going.

"Then I did mess up didn't I..." Leo sighed as he put his hands behind his head. "Oh well, they'll find you again..." Leo said as he continued looking around for them to see if they were being followed.

"So, Uhh...where exactly are you taking me?" asked Luke after a brief pause.

"Don't really know, just making sure your safe. No real destination...." Leo explained to Luke, not really knowing where to go himself.

"Well, we can't just wander around out in the open and attract all the bounty hunters or whoever's after me." said Luke looking behind him.

"Then let's crash there for tonight....." Leo suggested to Luke as he pointed to a abandoned building.

"Sounds like a good idea." said Luke following Leo. As the two approached the building, Luke asked of Leo, "Wait, are you sure no one's in there?"

"Just look at it, do you really think that anyone would be in there?" Leo asked jokingly as he pointed at the almost condemned building.

"You never know. Back when I was in service to Ithatae, that cursed organization, one of my safe houses was an abandonned teahouse. We should therefore enter this building with caution." said Luke.

"Whatever you say dude, but I'm telling you that no one is there..." Leo tried to explain to his friend as he had been there many times before, when he needed a place to hide.

"Fine..." said Luke trusting Leo. He then murmured something to himself.

Leo opened the door to the building as he showed Luke a plain looking room, with nothing really special inside except for maybe the couch and bed. "Told you, it may not be much. But on this floor, I doubt they would find us even if they searched. And by that time we would know they were here and could escape." Leo explained to his as he sat down on his couch.

Luke walked in and examined the place silently. He looked at the walls, then the ceiling, then the door from which he entered. He stood near the door and said nothing and looked at Leo as if waiting for him to show him around.

"Make yourself at home dude, mi casa es sue casa." Leo joked, as he had heard someone say that on the T.V. before and wanted to try it out. "Oh yeah, I guess I should show you around then huh." Leo smiled as he got off the couch and headed into another room signaling Luke to follow.

Luke followed silently, being very observant of his surroundings as if he were still out in the streets.

"There's the kitchen and then the living room is where we just were." Leo explained as he walked into his room and turned on the light, "And you can sleep in my room for the time being." Leo smiled as he stood in the doorway.

"I thank you for your Xenia, Leo." said Luke. He sat down on Leo's bed for a moment and buried his face in his hands. He then shot back up and apologized, "I'm sorry, I completely forgot how filthy my attire is." His leather armor had darkened from usage and was lacerated and his skin was slightly dirty.

"It's no big deal Luke, just make sure you clean up before you go to bed." Leo smiled, trying to make it clear to him not to worry about it.

"Alright, I got it...thanks again, Leo." said Luke. He then fell back onto Leo's bed flat on his back.

"No problem dude, I understand...." Leo whispered as he walked back into the living room. "I hope the couch is comfy...." Leo said to himself as he jumped back first on to it. Leo just landed softly as he started to relax, "...yeah, it is." He said, talking to himself again as he started to feel better than when he was living in the tree.

Luke meanwhile stared up into the ceiling. He was silent as he took some time to rest and think over what had happened over the past seven months...from a strange arrival on Japan to a service to darkness to a flight for survival to now. A tear rolled down his face. He drew the sword from his side and stared at it for a minute. Anger and sorrow burned in his heart. He threw his sword on the ground and let out a moan of agony.
