She smiled, and hugged him back. "What?" She grinned at him, they were so strange: beating each other to within half an inch of death, then hugging. She loved surprises, she really did...unless they were deadly ones. She helped him stand up again, and then waited.

Zade smiled then took the note out of his pocket and handed it to her. "Mom gave it to me before she died." He watched the others leave, happy that they were. "The top says our names."

She took the note, and stared at it hard. As much as she hated to admit it, she couldn't read. She bit her lip, trying to decipher the neat writing. "I can't read it." She murmured quietly, but still kept trying to. As hard as she tried, she could not make the letters make sense.

Zade smiled at her. "I can't either." He took the note back. "I didn't try to kill you all those years ago, Erai." He looked away. "I couldn't do it."

She nodded. "I know...I remember you pushed me out of the way just in time." Erai smiled, then flung her arms around him and hugged him close.

Zade smiled and wrapped his arms around her lifting her up and swinging her around again. "So what has my little sister been doing all this time?" He set her down and put a scared up hand on her shoulder.

She blushed slightly. "Well...I saw you three times tonight, you know. I'm an assassin. Other than that...not much has happened. My next mission before the big flood that wiped the castle out was gonna be to kill our father." She smiled, and looked up at him. She was tall, but still three inches shorter.

Zade smiled. "I'm sorry I left you." He turned away, the blood still coarsing out of him, he looked incredibly pale, and didn't move to well.

"That's okay...you don't look so good." Actually, that was an understatement. Her own bandages were soaked with blood, and more was coming through. "I'm sorry." She murmured, her own face white, and she took his arm, then pressed down on the worst wounds, stopping the bleeding, then stopping the very worst ones, and so on until he wasn't bleeding much anymore. She was a different matter, blood still streaming down her leg and her back.

Zade cried out as she pressed above the cuts, he wasn't ready for that. He turned to her then smirked. "Yeah, well. Look at you!" He picked her up and and started walking, he was going to get her help, even if she didn't want it. "Don't try to get away little freak, it woun't work."

She tried to glare at him, but she felt weak, so she let him carry her. "It's not my fault you're so much stronger than me!" She protested, but every word she spoke was weaker than the one before it, and soon her breathing was fast and shallow, and she leaned into her brother for comfort, turning her face into his chest.

Zade smiled down at her. "Just rest Erai. We will be there soon." He picked up the pace slightly, and soon they arrived. The docter who owed him many things was glad to help. He set his sister softly on a table, then sat close by on a chiar, watching. She would be okay, she just needed rest.

Erai felt herself being left on the table, then realized that she had never let go of her twin blades, she was still holding them. She shoved them both into her belt, then sat up and swayed dangerously on the table, all her limbs quivering. She shook her head, and looked around. Her vision was blurred, but she could just make out Zade's shape, his black hair, and his face, and she slipped off the table, almost toppling over, but she made it over and sat down beside him on the floor, leaning against the side of his chair, and closing her eyes. It was at this moment that she knew she really did love him, so she didn't let the doctor come near her.

Zade smiled softly and bent over, picking her up by under the arms and setting her on his lap. "Erai.... Please? You need help, i'm still here, I woun't leave you." He held her upright, his voice was soft and loving.

Erai leaned into his chest, and closed her eyes. "I missed you, Zade..." She murmured, then lifted her left arm, and pulled herself closer, not wanting to leave her brother ever again, not right now.

Zade hugged her close then looked at the docter. "Give me a few minutes." He mouthed to the man and he left. "Erai...." He let her lean against him. "Please, it will go so fast, and I will be here, you woun't even have to leave me by force, I promise." He picked her put again then stood and rocked her back and forth.

"Promise?" She asked, looking up at him with tired, scared eyes. She closed her eyes again, then let him put her down, and blinked, then slowly lay down and fell asleep again.

Zade smiled. "I promise." He let her fall asleep then the docter came in and tended to her wounds, soon it was over and the docter did his as well, Erai was still asleep so Zade picked her up again, and walked out. They walked down the road, he glanced down every so often, the bleeding had stopped, was she okay?

Erai shifted a little in his arms, but didn't wake up. Every last one of her weapons was still on her body, and she sighed in her sleep. She turned her face towards him, and nestled into his chest as she slept, then woke up and hugged him before trying to hop out of his arms and walk on her own.

Zade smiled. "Your not soposed to walk for long." He set her down gently. "So i'm not going to let you." He loved her so much, she was his sister, who he had never known until his mother had died, he had just thought of her as an annoying crying baby of the maid that took care of him. He would of never guessed she was his sister.

She smiled up at him, leaning her head against his shoulder. She sighed softly, then looked down at her ungloved arm. She didn't want him to know that she cut, but it was obvious by the hundreds of scars, especially the slash mark down her wrist. She hid her arm beside her so that he couldn't see it. She actually cut on her arm and both legs, but she never told. Never. "I'm okay."

Zade smiled then saw her pull her arm out of his view. "Let me see your arm then." He grabbed it gently then his face was sad. "You cut." He looked at his sister, but strangly, his face showed that he understood, and he did.

She looked away from him, at the ground. Erai didn't let him know that she wanted to cry, for fear of seeming weak. She tugged weakly to get her arm out of his grasp, but he was too strong. "No I don't..." She didn't know why she was lying, he knew, so why bother?

Zade pulled Erai off the pther and made her sit by a large yew tree, he sat next to her. "I know its hard, but cutting isn't the answer." He picked a blade of grass and twirled it in his fingers. "I wish I could of told you that before it actualy started, and I wish someone would of told me." He unbuckled one of his gloves and pulled it off, his arm was scared and torn, it looked horrible. "I know more then you think." He knew she wanted to cry, he wished he could cry too, but he had forgotten. "You can always talk to me."

She looked up at him with sad grey eyes. "I know...you do too?" She asked quietly, then looked at his arm. Tilting her head slightly, she looked at him again, then leaned against his side, and sighed deeply. She looked at her own arm, with the white mark crossing over all the others, when she had just wanted to die, just wanted to end it all. But it hadn't worked. She had survived her own suicide attempt, and she didn't want to die anymore. "I started killing people because it helped me..." She trailed off, and looked down again.

Zade looked over at her and smiled, then put his arm around her shoulders. "You can cry you know, I know you want to." He bent his head down to her level. "Its not weakness Eria, it isn't"

She sighed softly, and looked into his eyes. "It's not that...I don't remember how to cry." Erai murmured, and leaned against his chest, closing her eyes, pulling her right leg up beside her. Her other leg was so badly hurt that she could barely move it, what with her knee and the gashes in her thigh. She smiled, reopening her eyes, and hugged him, leaning her face into his shoulder.

Zade smiled. "Neither do I." They sat there under the tree, in the grass for a long time, the sun beating down on them. He smiled at her. "Is there anything you want to tell me?"

She shook her head. "No, don't think so..." She smiled, then yawned slightly, and looked up at him with warm eyes. She loved him so much...it really was rather amazing the way they loved each other. "Except one thing...why do they all act like they hate you? There's no reason for it."

Zade looked away. "I have done things that not one person in the world should be proud of, and they think I am by the way I walk, and how I don't care." He looked back down at her. "They arn't all like that, Seth isn't."
