I couldn’t sleep that night seeing as all i think about was Jenny.

As morning came so did a new day, i decided to take a trip down to Florina Beach to just lay in the sun and relax. Yet, still i could not get Jenny off my mind. I fell asleep a short moment after. I was awoken by a cry for help.

“Let go of me!” someone cried.
“Heh heh not until you hold your end of the bargain.” a deep and powerful voice said.
“No i am through with you and your gang of thugs, just because you cared for me when i was a mere beginner doesnt mean you own me!”
“Ha! You dont want your life to end so soon do you?” the mysterious voice said holding a Dragon’s Tail to her throat.

I quickly whip out my Zard and run towards the situation.

“Mmmm you arent much of a threat with or without your silly stars are you?”
A small little whimper was all she could let out.
“Arggggggg!” I yelled as i swung my Zard at the leader of the group when i leaped out of the bushes.
“What the heck!” the tall muscular Chief Bandit said as he stopped my blade with one hand.

I was stricken with fear when i saw who i was attacking. It was no other than my ex-friend Darry.

“Well, well, well if it isn’t Riku. I see you are still playing hero.” he said.
“You know darn well i left because you were out of control.” I said

Forgetting that Jenny was there i quickly snatched my sword away and twisted Darry’s arm so he droped his Dragon’s Tail and freeing her. She went behind me for protection. I knew then and there that Darry had to be stopped.

“Get him.” Darry calmly said to his gang members.
I took my Zard and started stabbing the members one by one in the legs and arms with seeing as it is not my nature to kill.

“Hmph, you may have won this battle but remember, i will haunt you now more than ever since i know your new treasure in life” he whispered into my ear.

Oh how i wanted to kill him so badly but i held it in as much as a could.
“See you around… Riku” and then he hasted himself and ran back to his boat to Victoria Island.

I did not notice til that very moment that i was badly injured fighting his goons. Blood was pourng down my chest and arms.

“Riku are you okay?” Jenny asked me holding my head in her arms. “This would have never had happened if i would have just had ditched that guy a long time ago.”

Trying to speak “You forgot your Kumbis.” I said
Hearing that she smiled. I could feel little drops of wetness falling on my chest so i assumed she was crying.
“I will always be here for you Jenny.”

She quickly hugged me hard.
“Ow ow” i said softly.
“Oh sorry” she apologized while still tearing.

She patched up my wounds and bandaged my cuts. Then we went to the top of a hill and watched the sun set as she leaned her head on my chest. As we watched and i craddled her, I felt like i could do anything. I was sadly mistaken.
