"I see, you know my wife's reputation." he said. "yes, we do, I hope she isn't like that with you in her life." "Not at all, we are a good peace loving family, me and her trained, and want to again, we fight off anything that wants to hurt the good citizens, and hence no reason for you guys to cross me and send me hunting for you." Angel said satisfied with the dumbfounded expressions. "We won't, she has seemed to calm down and isn;t skittish, or edgy, and it doesn't look like she's gonig to kill anyone, and your daughter is a beauty too." the one who first spoke to him said. "As long as we live, we will help you keep her and your daughter from harm." he promised Angel. "Thank you." Angel said. "Now my love, lets go meet the troops, they will be happy to see I'm happy, in hopes I will be a little less harsh toward them, it's a wonder they view me as a friend, maybe it's the time i spend with them around campfires and such, when i'm not training them." he thouht that was it. He knew they'd help protect his family if the time came. He had a feeling that one of the superiors will cross him, but get killed right after, and he'll get his spot he was certain of that, and then the bounty hunters won't want to mess with him.

Kitsune listened to them her smile seeming to have vanished as soon as she heard a few mutters about her that Angel couldn't hear. "Stupid stereo typing" she muttered so quiet that she wasn't even sure if Angel could hear her. Yeah, she wasn't as skittish though she was only dangerous when she was being hunted or thought that something bad was going to happen to her... did they not understand that she only did those things out of self defense? She never would have killed those people if they had have just left her alone and not try to hurt or kill her for whatever bounty was on her head.

He noticed her getting tense, the one who spoke did too. "I' sorry to have hurt you, I'm sure what you have done in the past was to survive, and we will make sure you stay safe for the sake of keeping Angel working her, he's a major asset to us and a good friend, we wouldn't comprimise that. And I hope that your thinking of helping us with training and such, I'm sure that with what you've had to do you know something about what we do here to protect the towns, and if you help us with that you could possibly clear your name, we're very influenctial to the bounty hunters organisation." "Love, he was just....... ah, nevermind what he said, about you being skittish and stuff, he didn't meant it that way, he meant having me in your life is a good thing." he said hugging her, not crushing their daughter.

Kitsune nodded some then looked at Angel and grinned a bit at how he seemed to have been at a lack of words for a moment. She smiled at him some then looked at their little girl for a moment making sure that he was still asleep and glanced up at the man who had spoken and nodded. "I was hoping to help... my rep got a bit more interesting last year though I'm not sure how far it went." she grinned some talking about how she had went blind... though she wasn't now she still liked fighting and training when she was blinded... it was easier to fight like that now that she had the hang of it.

"We would be honored to have you work here, and we'll pay you for your work." the one who had spoken to her said. "I speak for all of us here when i say that once your a part of this little family here on this base you always are, unless you betray us, but I din't see you doing that." he said. Angel looked at her. "We'll be in good hands here, and the troops will love to learn from you as well as me, now lets scare them." he said figuratively. "Yes, be on your way to work." the same one said. Angel led her and Koinu away from the group of his superiors and toward the troops who were surely waiting for him. When he came into view they stood straight and eyed Kitsune wearily. "Troops, this is my wife, she will be helping from now on." he said speaing to them going to the front of the group. "I know you will see her as a friend as you do with me, she is very nice and sweet when not being threatened. So do yourselves a favor and not do that. " he said smiling. "Alright, get your swords ready and when I say go, began, practice what I've showed you, be alert and make sure to defend yourself as well as try and get the other person, and no death's please, it's a good thing your swords are so dull they can't even cut paper." he said. He was making fun of them teasingly.

Kitsune grinned amused as she watched them train and found that some were good though none of them were as skilled at her and Angel. "Ah love, you only train so hard with me? I don't see how that's fair, It's pretty bad to train a single girl harder then troops going into the army or in the army." she grinned teasingly and waited to see how many of the men caught what she was talking about. He had trained ten times harder with her then it seemed he had with these guys... with how fast and quiet she was and could move it seemed that she could just make her way through the crowd and kill over half of them before even getting a scratch on her... and she wasn't bragging either it was the truth and she knew it.

"Well, while they train shall we?" he asked. "Wait, I don't think Koinu wants to see that, it might scare her." he said. "I've been getting tougher and tougher on them, and they notice when i get tougher on them." he said. "And I train harder with you becasue you were blind and needed to get accustomed to fighting like that." He watched the men, he saw improvement in all of them, and nodded in approval. He shouted advice to some that seemed to be doing bad and helped few out, he rarely had to do that now, and they saw him as a commander, he could be if he wanted to be.

"Trust me... Koinu won't be bothered... remember I had to take her everywhere I went you know... Don't worry i just need somewhere to lay her down... she's still asleep though don't worry... She's a very smart little girl and she won't wander off or anything." Kitsune said with a smile and really did want to start training again.

"Not today, I don't want to do that yet, I'm still getting used to you again." he said. He hugged her and smiled, besides, I need your help training these amaturs." he said softly. He was sure they didn't hear him.

"Well... I need somewhere to lay her down I can't really do anything while I'm holding her mind you... and I don't have the blanket that I normally hold her to my back with today either." Kitsune said softly and looked at her little girl and knew that she wouldn't wake up again for a little while either. She did want to help her love with these men... they wouldn't stand in a fight with her so she would only be able to train fully with Angel since she knew that there wasn't so much of a chance of her hurting him in any way that might be vital... though the others she knew that a few of them would be easy pickens for her.

He looked at her. "I can work while holding her if you wish." he said. "I've done more carrying two people."

Kitsune laughed softly and shifted a bit moving Koinu's weight slightly "Do you want to hold her then?" she asked with a smile as she reached their little girl out to him. Of course she hoped that they could show the others that he wasn't so bad and that he could be kind and loving and that it was just his job to be so tough on them. She also hoped to show that she wasn't so bad either and that she had only done what she did to protect herself and others. She was actually quite kind and loving unlike most thought she was.

"Yeah." he said and took hold of his daughter in his arms. Craddling her gently to his chest so she wouldn't fall. The troops saw this and were inspired, they saw he had a kind side, they knew he was hard on them during training. They liked this side of him.

Kitsune smiled softly as she looked at the two and then saw Koinu open her eyes some. "Hi daddy" she said quietly and Kitsune smiled softly at the two.

(I think that someone should ask about the two and Koinu since they hadn't seen or heard about them and then they hear Koinu call him 'Daddy' )

"So your a dad?" one of Angel troops asked. "Yes, this is mine and my wife's kid, and I actually just found out yesterday that I was a father." Angel replied. "Hey baby, your up, you can see what I do." he said speaking to Koinu. "That's great sir, congradulations." he said, the novalty of his parenthood wore off and they began training again, with more energy and spirit then usaul. He added some new moves and advise to keep in mind while in battle.

Kitsune smiled as she watched and looked at the troops seeming to enjoy watching them. "Hey love is there something I can do? I enjoy watching at all though it's getting kinda boring and tedius." she grinned some as she looked at Angel and wondered what some of the troops would think if they had a girl training so vigorously with them.

"Get a couple of them to train with you, I'm sure that would help them and they can help the others train after that, that would help speed up the process." he said. Angel pointed to two of the troops he knew wouldn't chicken out of this and had them go to Kitsune. "They're all yours love." he said.

In the watch tower the one superior Angel thought might cross him called the bounty hunter's organisation leader and told him that Kitsune was still alive and had had a child with a hunter. He said he'd send for someone imediately. He called fo his second best, ANgel being one of the top hunters. And he was on his way, his orders: kill Angel and his family. Another one of Angel superiors, found out about the call through SOS and went up there, cutting his head off. The one who offered Kitsune a job. He then ran to where ANgel was. ANgel saw him and motioned for him to come over. "I'm being called over to one of my bosses love, watch things for a bit will you?" he asked walking over, holding Koinu. Once he heard the news he was furious, he was promoted right there. "I promise you Angel that we will not let anything happen to you or your family." Angel took comfort in this. "Thank you my friend, I'll tell Kitsune after were done for the day." he said. They shared a glance for a moment then his superior walked off.

Kitsune grinned and went over as she started to trait with a few of the guys and they were shocked at how strong she was... they had never seen a girl as strong as Kitsune and she wasn't even at full power either. She then glanced over to see what Angel was doing and wondered some what was going on. "What's wrong love?" she asked as she walked up to Angel and wondered what in the world could be wrong... why would anything be wrong? Everything was back to normal... right?

"The organization has sent someone to kill me you and Koinu, the superior that called through a new system was killed, and I was granted his spot, but that's not the point, he told me that this army would help us with the hunter, and anyone who was sent to hurt us. " he couldn't see anything, he kept hold of Koinu, but he wasen't seeing her in his arms, wasen't seeing Kitsune, he was seeing in the distance. "I should have just gone here myself, I shouldn't have brought you guys, now none of us are safe." He took on a change. "We'll just have to take the challenge and overcome it I guess. I won't let us die, and I've got this army behind me, lets get rid of that hunter and have my superiors and myself talk to the organization, they can't refuse to stop the order and they can't not promise not to hurt us, not with how big a part this army is to their business." He sounded almost hopeful now.

"Angel... someone was going to find out sooner or later, at least here we're safer then at our home." Kitsune said softly as she walked over to her love and put her hand softly on his cheek "Are you okay?" she asked softly seeing some sort of odd look in his eyes.

He noticed that he was seeing things differently. "I will protect you." he said. He noticed a change in his control of elements, he was all of a sudden surrounded by orbs of all the elements. He knew it was happening again. "When I'm l'm really upset by something, I'm granted the power to control all of the elements, it's an insticnt change to my ability. He said. His eyes changed to a strange rainbow of color.

"Wow... though are you feeling okay? You look like you're in a daze... do you need to sit down or something?" Kitsune asked softly and worriedly as she looked at her lover and hoped that he was okay though she did find his eyes magnificent and very very beautiful

"I'm fine." he said. The orbs were obsorbed into his very being. He looked at her. "My eyes will stay this way as long as I am upset about what upset me." he said. "As well as I am able to control all elements to stop the upsetting thing, it happens only when I feel threatened or like someone I love is being threathened. This is why some people fear me, this is an awesome and scary thing I can do." he told her.

Kitsune nodded then smiled some "Well the eyes make you look sexy love." she grinned some and gave him a soft and loving kiss on the lips. She hoped that the man that was after them wouldn't get the chance to hurt them... she couldn't stand the thought of loosing her family. She then thought about Trish and Thomass and her face paled some. "What about Trish and Thomass? The guy won't go to the house will he?" she asked worriedly and didn't like the thought of her friends getting hurt either... they had become like family to her too...well Thomass had already been like her brother to begin with.

"No, they sent him here to the base to kill just us, Trish and Thomas will be fine no matter what. But the guy won't get a chance to kill us, I'll make sure of that." He heard her comment about his eyes and smiled. "Well maybe after training is done we can get to some kissing." he said and kissed her lovingly.
