h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

*flickers into the room, she immediately catches the scent of both Saiga's and Kham's blood*

*she feels around until she reaches Saiga's prone body, she begins to search for the wound but intead finds, what feels like, a crystal.
This is warm to her touch and immediately makes her stronger and more whole; suddenly she realises this is the half of her soul she gave to Yael*

*she smashes the crystal and allows the pieces to pierce her skin, the glow brightly and dissolve*

*she is instantly the strong demon she was before all this began, she feels again for Saiga's wounds and find them*

*she unsheaths her smallest claw and scratches him deeply, the blood begins to congeal and his breathing becomes more regular*

Kham? Are you there, are you hurt?

*groans, the wounds healing but pride not*

Beaten...

*A very strange look on my face*

by a human?

*in his half were-newt form his own wounds heal*

no, by an assassin...

an assassin who had to win... he couldn't lose...

he even used his werepowers to help him... no, a normal human would have died...

Ena... I am... fine...

*holds his robes around him so then she can't see the wounds healing*

*Looks at Kham disbelief etched on my face then turns to Ena and gets down on one knee*

Ena, I have failed you and wish to tenure my resignation as your bodyguard. I would also be willing to reccomend a replacement.

I would reccomend Kham the man who defeated me, your *chokes on the words, fighting down the emotion* husband to be.

Now I must leave, I have a future to contemplate and wounds to fully recover from.

*Bows to Kham*

*whispers* Do the damm hardest to look after her for I will be around.

*Kisses Ena's hand*

*whispers* Ena, I would be honoured to go to the wedding.

*leaves*

*goes from kneeling to sitting*

I really think he should still be a body guard...

*sinks to her knees in shock, her hand automatically moves to her neck but there is no necklace there*

*tears of despair run down her face, she makes no attempt to wipe them away or even acknowledge them*

*he moves to her side and hold her*

Ena... what is wrong?

He said he had failed....he could never fail, I..I did this...

*she is suddenly angry*

Why does nothing ever go right for me? I finally found someone I love and am happy when one of my best friends refuses to consent to the wedding unless he and you fought!
I just wanted, for once, people to understand how important some things are to me and respect that I need them...

Ena... my love...

I will go find him and tell him I cheated... that you still want him as a bodyguard...

*kisses her gently* please, let me help you

All I wanted was this one thing, why couldn't everyone just be happy for us?

I don't know... I'm sure they will be...


it just might take time

Well I'm tired of waiting for their approval, and I'm not getting married under the eyes of many who want me, or you, dead or disapprove.

*she begins to stand, determination written all over her face*

If you are sure you want to marry me, then follow me

yes I do want to marry you

*gets to his feet*
