| Chapter One By: Kei Taka A young girl ran down the street full speed trying to get away from the policemen persuing her. 'Gah, I don't believe I was caught.' A slight smile crept across her face, "At least I got what I was after." She heard the policemen crashing into things behind her in the dark street. 'This was the great way to go, good job Tok.' she thought to herself. As she ran farther she saw it become lighted gradually and more crowded. Another smile crept across her face as she ran into the crowd. "Watch out!! Move!!" she cried as she ran through. She stopped for a second to catch her breath and heard the policeman yelling for the people to move, to her clear satisfaction. Tokie began walking down the street calmly and casually. She spotted an arcade and decided to indulge herself. She walked up to a Mortal Kombat game and popped in a quarter. When she was playing, it wasn't pretty. She killed her first 2 opponents in less than 2 minutes. [this is in the future so video games are A LOT more graphic in blood and gore.] as she went after her third one her concentration was interrupted by 2 guys arguing near by. "Cryme pay up! Gah, you lost, fair and square! You owe me 5 bucks!" "Idiot, you cheated!!!" 'Idiot', "You acuse me of cheating!?" The arguement consisted until Tokie couldn't concentrate any longer. She walked over to the two arguing men, "I don't care who cheated, lost, or who owes who money. But both of you owe me a quarter." The two looked at her, both irritated. They blinked to see a 'gorgeous' young, dark skinned girl with long dark brown hair with gold highlights, who looked around their age. The first guy had short black spiked hair, he was pretty tall, dark skinned, had a goatee, and beautiful sea green eyes. He smiled at Tokie, "Hello....I didn't happen to catch your name." Tokie rolled her eyes, ;Guys love themselves too much.' "You won't happen to catch my name either. Cough up the change." Tokie put her hand out and got a good look at the first guy, 'Oh God he's cute.' "Well my name is Cryme. This is Micheal." The first guy said. Tokie looked at the second guy, he had short black hair gelled back so it looked nice, a beige complexion, sharp emerald green eyes, about the height of his friend, and a slight mustache. Tokie nodded, "Well my--" She was cut off by policemen walking in searching the Arcade, she took off to an exit. Cryme looked after her, "Name!?" Tokie turned quickly and yelled, "To-Tanya!!" Then turned around disappearing into the crowd outside 'God, she was beautiful.' Micheal nudged his friend with his elbow. "Hey Crym (Crime) snap out of it." Cryme continued to stare at the doors. Micheal annoyed drops a piece of ice from his drink down Cryme's shirt. "Ah!!!!", he yells snapping out of it. Cryme starts to yell at him and they begin to argue..again. 'I don't believe how cute that guy was.', Tokie thought as she ran down the street. 'At least I got free time, this once. sigh. To bad I'll never see him again.' she turned on an ally and quickly got into a car parked there. She reved up the engine and drove down the ally. She drives until she hits the highway, almost hitting quite a few people in the process, and speeds like mad 'I love this car!!!' ~~!!ABOUT 30 MINUTES!!~~ Tokie grabs her bag out of her car and walks up to the front door of her house at the far edge of Cemay [another city]. She walks in she slips her bag off her shoulder to the floor. "Sigh, nothing to do. Maybe I should have stayed in Jeman a little longer. There was that cute guy....ah what am I saying!?!? He wasn't cute, he was FINE!" "Really?" Tokie jumped back and into a fighting postion at the sound of the voice, the light was flicked on by the owner of the slightly familiar voice, "Miss me Tokie?" Tokie glared at the young man for a second then smiled, "Erik..", she sighed quietly. Erik took a step toward her, she went back to her fighting mode, "Why are you back!? How did you find me again!?", he smiled only about 8 or 9 feet away from her. "Can't I come back to check on you? Even if we aren't... partners anymore?" Tokie didn't move, 'why did he have to come back!? Hasn't he ruined my life enough!? And I thought I would be able to have a normal life.' She felt his hand against her cheek, "Well can't i?" [face cheek! >>''] Tokie looked into his eyes full of anger and almost about to cry, "You left me! How am I supposed to let you come back into my life!?!?" Erik's eyes showed his sincerity, "I'm sorry. But please forgive me, give me another chance. Please." 'Why does he do this? NO! say no!! DO NOT SAY OK, YES, OR ALRIGHT!!', her mind screamed. 'Please forgive me Tokie I really am sorry this time.', Erik thought quietly. Tokie looked into his eyes, hers glistening with tears, "I...I forgive you Erik.", she said in a quiet voice almost not trusting it. 'Why did I do that!?! My heart will feel the pain all over again. Why!?! Why am I so dumb? How can I trust him again!?!?..... his eyes... ' Erik smiled slightly.... gently. (i like dots @.@) Tokie's tears ran down her cheeks in silence, he [Erik] gently swiped them away with his hand, "Tokie, I'm sorry for what I did in the past. I really am. But all I want is your forgiveness." He had been worrying about that one part of his apoligie since he had entered the home. Tokie leaned her head on his chest [she is completely leaning on him] and muttered tears still rolling down her face, "How dare you come back now?....I've been waiting forever for you." Erik just just smiled down at her. Tokie let him go and dried her tears with her hand simply saying to him, "You can sleep on the couch." Erik nodded silently not wanting to say anything dumb. Tokie walked toward the back of the house to the bedroom. 'Tomorrow I'll talk to him seriously.' she thought. Tokie walked into her room and changed into an oversized t-shirt and curled up on the bed. Erik took off his cloak/cape think and set it on a chair, ready to be used as a blanket. [think Gene Starwind's cloak thing except all black] He took off his boots and set them by the couch, he set his various knives, guns and daggers, which he always had with him, on the table. 'Thank-you Tokie. For your forgiveness and a place to rest.' He laid down on the couch and covered himself up with the cloak/cape thing. Both slept peacefully all night. The next morning Tokie woke up exitedly. 'I got it! I finally got it!! Now I just have to figure out what the crud it is.' She walked to the, in her big t-shirt, with a wolf cub on it and her white socks. When she walked in she saw Erik sitting on the couch stretching his arms as if he was gonna go lift weights or something. Tokie quickly made a u-turn before Erik saw her and walked back into her room grabbing on a pair of faded jeans. She walked back out to the living room to find Erik stretching.. shirtless. Tokie mentally drooled, 'Bad Tokie, bad. He's bad remember!?' She cleared her throat not taking her eyes off of the beautifully muscled Erik. He looked up immediatly, "I don't remember you ever waking this early.", he stated grabbing his black shirt and putting it on. "Well a lots changed, since you left." Erik looked at her silently his eyes showing his shame. "Tokie, I apoligize for that again. I'm really sorry for what I put you through." Tokie nodded trying to put the pain in her heart waiting for him to come back from the months before out of her mind. 'Don't let him get to you. Don't let him.. God he's fine.' "Well since you're up and everything. Do you want a cup of coffee, juice, tea?", Tokie asked curiously. "Tea will be fine. Thank-you." 'He's changed a lot in this past year. Except.... maybe I can trust him. No, Trust no one!' Tokie walked toward the kitchen with Erik trailing behind her. "So... um.... what ya been doin this past year?" Erik winced at the question hearing the bit of pain Tokie still felt, "I've been... doing nothing. Just trying to figure out what I'm about.. pretty much." Tokie nodded. She grabbed the kettle from it's hanging place and fills with water then set it on the range to boil. "So what have you been up to?" Tokie smiled, 'Well he is more gentlemanly. I like that.' "Same old same old. Gettin into trouble more and more often." She took a seat at the table across from Erik. He smiled, "Well hope you've been havin fun." Tokie grinned, "Of course! C'mon this is Tokie, ME. We're talking about. [And i really do luv gettin into trouble it's like a hobby... the consiquiences I don't like... but I can handle em!] Nothing could phase the carefree easy going personality I got goin." Erik smiled, "Well that's good to know." They fell silent until the kettle whistled. She got up and took it off the hot range and set it on a pot thingy. She grabbed two cups and the tea bag. "Erik." she said quietly. His wandering mind perked to hear her, "Yes?" Tokie paused as she thought of her words, "Why did you leave?... why did you come back?" Erik was struck by the words not expecting them, "I...I...I left so I couldn't hurt you.... I didn't want to do anything to you....I came back to apoligize to you." Tokie stood over the cups at the counter, trying to hold back her tears, 'I can't handle this. Why did I ask that question.' Her shoulders shook gently tears fell down her cheeks. She swiped them away, "Well you hurt me anyway." Erik stood up and took a step toward her, she turned around quickly with a smile, tears still glistening in her eyes, "But I'm over that." 'Will power Tokie, will power.' She handed him his cup and saw his surprise written all over it. Erik nodded solemly, "I'm sorry for that. But I was afraid that I would hurt you more than I did." Tokie nodded and smiles, "Well let's forget the past The present it what matters and is what we should live for." Erik smiled back, "Of course. Thank-you for the tea and a place to sleep last night." Tokie smiled and slipped into her chair, "No prob, Eky." Erik smiled and took his seat, 'I thought she'd never call me that again. No matter how much I hate that nickname it shows she really forgives me. But I'm glad she can put the past behind us.' Tokie completely zoned out as she sipped her tea. [I luv making my own characters.. so me like.. ^-^'] 'sigh. She really hadn't changed since the last time I saw her. I'm glad I didn't change that.' He sipped his tea thinking about the fun old times they had, a great fierce duo to go up against. 'You are a total sap you know that. A total idiot. He's just going to cause you more pain eventually, you know it. But until then I can trust him, I trusted him at one time so why not try it again? Risks are life. You don't know what yourself into.' she argued with herself, in her head. "Tok?" Erik's voice surprised her. Tokie looked at him, "Err..yes?" Erik smiled mischeviously since they were back on old terms, "That guy you were talking to yourself about yesterdaynight." he paused a moment to see if she remebered. Tokie nodded wondering where this was going. "Well you said he was cute.. no fine, well did he look better than me?" Tokie groaned, blushed and laughed giving one of those 'god you're dumb to ask that' looks. 'He's still the same Erik alright.. no matter how gentlemanly he seemed a while ago.' When she was finished she replied, "You are still conceited I see. And I don't remeber, the cops were on me." Erik raised an eyebrow, "i'm conceited now? Oh woe is me.... and you must be getting bored if the police were after you. Watch yourself or else they'll get you." Tokie grinned, "nothing I couldn't get out of... They chased me awhile so what I took has got to be important." Erik raised an eyebrow to question her, "What did you take, worth them chasing you that much?" Tokie grinned sheepishly [my famous grin!], "I don't know what it is. It just kinda caught my interest so I had to have it, ya know?" Erik sighed, "Exactly the same." Tokie's grin widened, "Well I'm going back, to find out about it and what it is." She thought, 'Amoung other things.' "So you wanna come?" Erik hesitated, 'I came back to apoligize and disappear but then her trust would be shattered again, forever this time..' "Yeah sure I'll come." Toke smiled again, "K then. Err you got any clothes to change into?" Erik's face redded a little, "Err. no.." Tokie nodded, "Then you can buy some when we get to town. That ok?" Erik nodded, "Yeah, fine." -to be continued- ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~ Kei> So how do ya like the fic??? Do ya think Erik and Tokie will last!?
