Taking Zialni Home

We left the Hidden Leaf and headed for Zia's home in the Hidden Sand. I steered the horse while she rested.

She wasn't becoming stirred, and woke and said, "You should rest..."

I yawned slightly. "You're right. We'll stop up ahead at the next inn and take a break."

"No need for an inn, just stop at now, well rest by the road.

"Ok." I pulled off the road and tied the horse to a tree. I sat down and leaned against the tree. "Just a few minutes of rest."

"No, Rest Longer, i can kill bears and stuff!"

"Ok." I put my head back and closed my eyes. I fell asleep in a couple minutes.

She stayed awake, and sat at the tree, and waited, to see if anything was to happen.

I started to dream of my young sister. The image of my sister changed to Zia though. I felt happy in my dreams. I smiled in my sleep.

A bear walked over, and she simply shot it, and thought about doing a prank on Ryouma.

I rolled on to my side in my sleep. I was happy in my dreams for once.

She grabbed some rope, after starting a fire, and starting to cook the bears meat.

I layed unconscious against the tree. "Zia..." I said in my sleep.

She Wondered what he meant, she figured she meant her, as most people called her Zia... She went to the tree, and just stared at him for a moument, looking at him while thinking, About how he wanted to protect her, yet, The Chain reaction... she decided to leave him be, for now.

I began to stir. My body was deciding I had gotten enough sleep.

"You need more rest, youve been up, along time, now , you sleep for a long time, don't make me force you!" She says, smirking.

I opened my eyes and looked up at her in the tree. "I'll try." I changed what side I was laying on and drifted back to unconsciousness.

"Thank god, He a Nice guy, but, i feel bad slightly useing him, although, i do like him, but he has to get a ton of sleep. she wrapped the rope around his torso and secured him to the tree, and went to focus on the bear that was cooking.

I began to dream of everything that had happened with me and Zia. I want to protect her. But will it cause me to end up hurting her? My mind tried to get rid of these thoughts.

She sat there... and wondered, If what he was saying, was all a facade... or was it true?

I remembered seeing Zia cry. A tear formed and fell down my face.

She turned around, saw the tear, and brushed the tear of his face.

My mind went back to peaceful thoughts. I gave a small sigh in my sleep.

She Was happy he Sighed, and went and finished up the bear meat, getting it ready.

My dreams were beginning to end and my conscious was going to take over soon.
