    The sun reflected off the green crystals creating a glare. "Whose that?" Hawk asked looking in another direction. We all looked to where hawk was and saw a female figure. "A h-holy knight." My heart sunk to my stomach. "I am Holy knight Guila. You must be (y/n)? I was ordered to kill on sight. Along with the seven deadly sins." The holy knight Guila? I never heard her name while in prison.

      "So I'm assuming your here to fight?" Meliodas asked. I watched as the situation unfolded. Diane started to fight this lady. She was rather powerful. Long black hair covered her head. Though her eyes were squinted so no color showed. Yet her armor clanked as she seethed her sword.

    Diane's tall form hard charged toward this knight. The way her face held no fear, it made me feel safe. Until Guila attacked her with a simple blow knocking her down. Meliodas put an effort and went for the kill. He used full counter against the knight's explosives. After a bunch of fighting Ban and that kid showed up.

    "Ban may be immortal, but doesn't mean he can't get tired." I told Meliodas. He only smirked and sat down. His smirk soon turned to a frown when Diane looked at him. 'Is he faking his tiredness? I mean I know Diane faked hers but really now?' I was confused. Once Ban finally got exhausted, that left the kid to fight. "COME ON KING YOU CAN DO IT!" Diane yelled. I could see in his eyes, Confidence flooded his mind. Did feelings for Diane make him like this?

            I've never expirienced someone so overly confident from one's words. I sat in my thoughts questioning the sins' relationships. Forgetting that Zarchon was sitting next to me. Diane lay on the dirt, her shadow covering Meliodas and Ban who sat in front of her. I watched King fight in awe. He was barley trying, so it seems.

    My eyes hurt once Guila shot balls of fire at the sin of sloth. The attack was easily blocked. In the end we won and Guila layed on the dirt supposedly dead. I looked behind me at Zarchon while my body faded. He gave me a quick hug. Meliodas then grabbed my boob earning a slap from Zarchon. My disappearance from the Necropolis was slow. Fading into reality was weird. My body felt tingly and my mind was fuzzy. 'Till we meet again Zarchon'

     Once we made it back, we saw Guila, but she had her hand stabbed to her heart. "Land of the dead, so thats how she got there." Meliodas said. "Well what should we do?" King floated on his pillow asking. "I know what to do."

     We all watched while the sin of Wrath tied the Holy Knight to a tree. Then grabbing a marker that he had apparently kept in is pocket and drew on her pale face. It wasn't all that bad but king said it was "childish" yet he looks younger than Meliodas. The masterpiece the sin drew earned a few snickers. We went back to the tavern proud of our accomplishment.
Now we had to figure out who is sleeping where and to celebrate the reunion.

King had his own room, Elizabeth slept with Meliodas. Which we all had second guessed that, especially Diane. Lastly me, inko (he was waiting at the tavern door) and Ban shared a room. Only because it was my room in the first place and he stole it. I was somewhat angry I didn't get my own room. "As long as he doesn't snore I'm fine." I stated while sitting outside as the fire crackled. We decided to celebrate outside, Ban was cooking over the fire. Fish was ready to be served a few minutes later. All sat on the ground, the birds retreated as the sun set. My mind was clouded with thoughts about what the future held. Everyone was happy and enjoyed their time with each other.

     I sat back on the green grass. I admire their happiness. 'I guess I wished I had as many reasons to be happy as they did.' Inko was begging for food from Ban who gladly gave him some. 'Even Inko has made his mark as part of the group.' I looked at everyone smiling and laughing while I slowly drank up some ale Meliodas handed everyone. I noticed Elizabeth walk up to me. Meliodas seceretly watching.

           "Lady (y/n) why aren't you by the fire?" Her high pitched voice asked. She seemed concerned but happy as ever. I smiled and replied with "I just don't like being encumbered with people around me."
"Oh," she looked down."well if you want I could sit with you." "Its okay." I waved my arm for her to go back. I let  out a soft smile and she walked away. Passing my Meliodas who was comming this way. 'Oh great' I thought rolling my eyes.

      His slightly taller figure made it's way next to me. Meloodas' buff structure Sat crisscross next to my thin one. "hey.." He spoke unusually quiet. "Hey?" I replied back softly. I noticed his eyes trail to the grass. "What are you doing over here?" I asked. His presence made me a little uneasy. "Just making sure on of my comrades is happy." I saw a glimmer in his eyes I'd never seen before. "Oh" I patted his shoulder and smiled what I considered warmly. "No need to, I enjoyed the peace hehe." "So you think I'm annoying" he frowned. "I never said that." My hand shoved him playfully. 'I feel bad now.' Once I saw the smirk appear on his flawless face I noticed the joking expression in his eyes. "Just kidding." I rolled my eyes. 'I seriously fell for that... wait flawless face?' I spaced out looking at the stars. 'Did I think his face was flawless? I mean so Is Elizabeth's and Ban's so it's nothing new. Everyone seems so much better than me."

      Meliodas was apparently trying to get my attention for a while, because once I finally came back from space, he was poking me. "You zoned out what happened?" I just smiled and said "nothing." He only nodded and we both drank the ale.that was given. Everyone else was sitting around the fire and chugging their drinks. "You should go back to everyone else." I suggested even though I knew I wanted his company. Not anyone else's. 'Wait why? Maybe it was because he was always joking and being annoying.' "You're right." He got up and waved bye. I did the same but stayed seated.

    His green eyes sparkled in the now full moon. "Yea bye." I said after he left. Leaving myself with my thoughts. "Meliodas." I looked up to the moon. 'Why is his Image stuck in my head? He's so confusing. It feels as if there's a side of him no one's seen. I heard some splashes in the nearby pond. "So where did all of your sacred weapons go?" King asked while on his green pillow. I ignored his statement and went inside. Everyone else came a little later. I was already in bed, hoping ban would fall asleep on the floor. But that wasn't the case, of course.  Because right when I was about to fall asleep, he swung the foor open. He reeked of beer and alcohol.

         I rolled over to the other side of the bed so he had room. Yet he jumped on the bed and wrapped his arms around me. God he was do drunk. "Get off me!"I yelled trying to shove him off but failing very miserably. He only hugged me tighter. "No don't go." He slurred. The door suddenly swung open. "Ban get up." Meliodas laughed at my miserble condition. "But I don't wanna."

       He wined. I continued to try and push him off. Meliodas soon helping. Soon enough he got off and went to the other side of the bed. "I knew you didn't want meeee~" The silverette sobbed into the pillow. My face was quite heated once I realized Meliodas was holding me with his hands around my waist. "Really?" I said pushing him away. "Your stealing her from me you stupid jerk!" Ban again cried pointing at Meliodas.

      I facepalmed. "Can I sleep on the couch?" I asked. "Don't have one." Meliodas shook his head. I frowned. I grabbed a blanket and pillow from the closet taking it to King's room. I opened the door somewhat angrily. "Im sleeping in here." "Wait what?" He frowned and got up from bed. Slight blush could be seen on his face. "On the floor." I pointed to the corner farthest from him. Meliodas went back to his room and I made a small sleep area and fell asleep.
