~Loving Embrace~ By Saiichi Bloodbane

[Bloodbane]

Night had Passed and both fall asleep hugging for warmth as the camp fire slowly dims into cinders...

Gentle morning sunlight Passes On his face as he is sleeping on one of the highest branches of the ceremonial tree in payon,his body,well built, not too many muscles but a Nice figure nevertheless,a few scars on random places and a stubby chin,at His age of 22 Saiichi Bloodbane had grown quite popular with the towners in this region,born and raised in Payon he was a local Sniper.Not too great paying his profession was,Hunting monsters here and there daily made it a bit amusing yet,there was something missing in his life,he wanted excitement,to meet people,adventures,and most of all,he wanted Aneko's Love.

He Yearned to have her in his arms,to kiss her,to hold her,yet his Boyish fantasies arent enough to him anymore,Today is The day he will ask her out.

He yawns loudly and stretches loosing his balance almost falling off the branch,luckily he grabbed on the ledge just in time and prevented a fall,He notices there's a rustling noise on one of the top branches above him,then suddenly a Smokie falls down landing on his face and making him plummet down almost 2 stories hitting a a few branches on the way down,the branches seemed to soften his landing...well...sort of.

He lands right in front Of Aneko,Her Girlish charms overwhelms him as he looses consciousness,He wakes up after roughly 5 Minutes,laying his head on her lap,Aneko was always taking care of Saii,He always seemed to get hurt and what not so she had taken quite used to this.

Aneko was Saii's friend since childhood,Born and raised in Prontera,she was a the daughter of a famous landlord,quite a tomboy she was as she escaped her home often to hang out with Saii.Her Tough girl like Nature always made her stand out in the crowd,Obtaining the title of High priestess at the age of 21 clearly showing her extraordinary healing powers.

Saii wakes up dazed and stares into Aneko's eyes as she blushes and pushes the guy away making him land on his head again,he lets out a short grunt as he gets up and brushes himself from any dirt in his coat.

"Morning Aneko!!" He said with a smile as in gratitude to see her.
"M-m-morning, Saii" She still seemed to be in shock.
Saii stretches and sits right in front of her passing his hand on his stubby chin,noticing she is blushing and then pokes her nose.

"Hun why is your face so red?"
"its nothing really,I just ehm...Ahahaha" She started laughing nervously as it was clear that she had a liking to him.

"Ane you seriously weird me out sometimes ya know?"
She snapped in anger and grabbed onto his ear,tugging on it.
"WHAT YOU SAY BISH???"
"Nothing Ma'am, Nothing I swear , Ow Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow!!!"
He pleaded for forgiveness as she smirked and let go of his ear.
"Let me see...How about we go for Breakfast?"
Aneko smiled in agreement and both walked into the local diner.

Saii sits sprawling out his legs under the table as Aneko sits very courteously minding her manners while Saii looks at her in his cocky way.

"How come you sitting today Like a lady?"
She gets angry once more and throws the pepper shaker in his direction dodging it smirking.

As The Waitress starts walking in their direction a series of small explosions are heard outside,this was very strange in such a peaceful town,so Saii Dashes out leaving Aneko behind whom looked to be suprised.

"STOP RIGHT THERE DAMOCLES!!" A Deep Voiced Man Yelled as they were Chasing what Looked Like to be a Knight,Saii Easily Outruns the group that was chasing the guy and tackles him to the ground.

"Whats going on?! Explain Yourself!!!"
"Its Not Something that concerns the Likes of you!!"
He said as He pulled the pin on a smoke grenade and a huge cloud of smoke covered them both,Then He spin kicks landing a blow at the back of Saii's Head whom falls to the floor unconscious.


The desert wind in the morning blows cool and moist, as a gentle caress sent from the heavens,Saii slowly opens his eyes and sits still thinking about his dream.

"That Kid...To think he was such a trouble maker eh?"

The Morning sunlight gentle but warm was the eminent sign that they needed to proceed,the cave was not too far away so Saii intents to awake Aneko by passing his finger tip on her ear.

*WHAM!!*

Aneko turns over in his direction with her hand closed in fist and hits him square in the nose,Holding his pained scream in he shakes his fist angrily at Aneko whom is still asleep Saii decides to let her sleep and prepares his equipment to the battle thats about to take place.
