Leanne was pulled to him then embraced, at first all that she had recently gone through her instinct was to pull away but this was Reinhart she fought that instinct. He was close to her, with this she fought back instinct and raised her arms to embrace him back. Her arms wrapped around his waist holding him close, feeling a sudeen peace inside to which she had not felt for awhile.
Yes she had intended to come here and fight but now the eagerness to fight had been calmned by his presence and the embrace, upon hearing his words she rested her head on him and closed her arms with a soft gentle smile upon her red rose petal lips.
".......I've missed you too"
Serenity was found, right there, right then.

Memories rushed through his mind, Leanne showing up unexpectedly at his mansion, the petals in his garden swirling around her, her flowing hair dancing in the wind. It went without saying it was a chance encounter, but one they'd never forget, it was as if they'd called to one another. A gently smile decorated Reinhart's face and his arms tightened slightly around Leanne. She'd drank from him that night, she'd given herself to him as well, his heart jumped as all those emotions flooded his body.
"You're as lovely as ever." A fact more than anything, it's not like she'd aged much or at all. "Where have you... what happened to you?" She'd disappeared after a series of events that led Reinhart on some crazy journeys, he hadn't seen or heard from her since.

As memories had flooded through his mind they also occured in hers, like there was a connection between them. The soft smile remained as she sort of relived the past of that precious time, was this fate?
"And you are as handsome as ever. ..It's a long story......."
Suddenly her eyes shot open, pain filled her very soul. Pain of recent events and events of the past. What happened with them and Jessica returned, she pushed back off him and went to thrown a right hook at the left side of his face.
"You.....Where's Jess? Is there anything between you and Jess?"
She let out a low growl while staring at him, her crimson eyes had become fierce like flames burning.

"Leanne?" He wondered why she'd pushed off him and was just able to dodge her hook by backing his head up slightly. When she spoke again his worst fear came into being, she remembered what had happened in Durem. Jess was pretty much a thing of the past, but in that part of it he'd hurt Leanne, he had no choice but to tell her the truth.
"I don't know where she is..." His voice took on a sad tone as he continued. "... there's nothing between us, not anymore." Their relationship was long over and as far as he knew Jess was dead. It looked like their was going to be a fight after all.

Leanne flame like stare fixed upon him seeing him dodge her hook, she listened to his words to which the flames of her eyes would diminish slightly. She went to take a step back as she spoke, her voice seemed to tremble slightly.
"...How...could you.?..WHa...t..happ..ene..d"
The pain of that and more ignited within her, so not only did her voice tremble her body did. And as she stepped back the pain burned within her, she would stumble slightly. She looked at him, the flames within her eyes now extinguished and soft crimson eyes replaced the fierce gaze of that not moments ago. Leanne went to take another step back, her body feeling weakened gave and she would fall.

"Leanne!" Reinhart rushed to her as quickly as possible, he'd catch her mid way through her fall. Now in his arms again he knelt with her looking at her beautiful face. "Leanne, talk to me. What's the matter?" He was unsure of what was going on, he only imagined that the chock of it all had gotten to her. It would pass, right?

Leanne was now laying in Reinharts arms, she was so tired. This had weakened her, she knew it and hated it. After a minute or so she would open her crimson eyes which were filled with pain and sorrow, her voice delicate.
"Reinhart..I'm sorry it must be painful for you. I'm not saying what you did was right but thats the past now, i'm sorry to hear about Jess...She seemed a nice woman...So much has happened..I want to tell you but not at this moment can I find the strength to do so...."
She let out a slight growl
"Arghh, I hate being this weak..."
Leanne looked at him softly and just managed to raise her hand to be placed on his cheek, she if able could sense some of his emotion and one day she too could show him some things that had happened while she had been gone for if he was to be close to her he should know. She would lightly stroke his cheek while trying to gain some of her strength back but her body was tired as it just had alot taken out of it, almost like she had been in a serious fight.
She would struggle to keep her eyes open, she once more felt safe and peaceful being held there in his arms with the care he showed.

Reflexively Reinhart rested his hand atop hers as it rested on his cheek, he gave her a warm smile. She was still cute after all this time, cursing her weak body and sympathizing over Jessica's situation. This was the Leanne he remembered, unfortunately, he knew somewhere deep down inside that she was no longer the same woman she was back. Though her body may not age, her mind certainly did, he was looking forward on getting to know her again.
"You're alright now..." His voice was as gentle as the caresses to his cheek by her soft hand. "... you're with me after all." Then he winked playfully.

In those moments Leanne seemed so delicate and fragile, she lay peacefully in his arms wanting to stay close to him knowing she was safe. She smiled softly to him and then rested her head upon his chest as she just about managed to wrap her arms around his neck, Reinhart would probably feel the fragile state she was in at this moment in time. She smiled with the words he spoke.
"Yes i'm here with you.....safe......"
Safe the word seemed to trail slightly, what had caused this? Was she scared of something? Why did she not feel safe otherwise? She made sure to keep her slender form pressed to his, the tiredness was now getting the better of her. She knew she had to rest, later on once she had rested and was fully restored she could start telling Reinhart.
"Reinhart.....I'm feeling so tired at the moment...That took alot out of me..I nede to rest..."
Leanne did not like admitting it but it could clearly be seen anyway, she would close her eyes and lie in his arms peacefully, smiling.

"Rest all you want, I'm not going anywhere." Reinhart said reassuringly. Although he knew well that the Void wasn't always a place for fighting, this did seem a bit odd to him. Leanne being someone he'd been intimate with appearing here all of a sudden. He couldn't help but wonder if this too was a chance encounter like the first time they met. Hopefully it ended up somewhat like it did back then. Patient as always he gave her a little time to recover from her exhaustion, he wasn't going to deny that it felt great holding her again.

Leanne would rest in his arms, on hearing what he had said she smiled some more. Quietly she rested in his arms clearing her mind to let focus and calmness return to her, with her body starting to calm down and her head clearing her body would start to recover.
Alittle time passed as Leanne lay there, it was strange that she had come to this place in anger and despair prepared to fight but yet now she found herself laying in Reinharts arms still recovering from the overload she had just experienced and feeling calm and peaceful. Acouple of thoughts passed through her mind but nothing as to distract her from resting, not yet anyway.
Abit more time had passed by when Leanne would move just slightly and open her eyes, she looked up at Reinhart with a gentle warm smile. Her arms would be round his next.
"Thankyou Reinhart..I feel slightly better now".

With practiced gentleness Reinhart did as best he could to help Leanne back up onto her feet. She'd said earlier she hated being so weak so he wasn't about to encourage that statement by holding onto her more than he should. Even if she tried to stand and failed he'd catch her once more with gentle grace and hold her till she could stand on her own. With one arm around her waist he guided her slender limb around the back of his neck and over his shoulders.
"Can you stand?" There was still a couple of things he wanted to ask but the biggest one was still dangling in the air. Where was she and what happened to her?

Leanne laid there for abit longer, on feeling Reinhart start to move guiding her so that she may stand she would gaze at him and then push up with the help of his guidance so that she could once again stand.
"...I think so".
She just managed to get back onto her feet, her body shaked just slightly. She would let her focus and calmness take over her body once more, after a moment she had got her bearings and stood fully by Reinharts side. She would turn to face him, gazing up with a soft smile.
"Thats better".

"Good." He returned her smile with one of his own, now came the hard part, the bigger question. What were they both doing in the Void? She hadn't answered him, maybe their meeting here meant something, a premonition, a warning, something. It couldn't be something so cliche that they just wanted to see each other, given Reinhart did think about her when she was gone. He assumed she thought about him from time to time as well, seeing as their first night together was burned into his memory forever.
"So...?" He hinted on his questioning her earlier, if worse came to worse they'd fight, if not then Reinhart could simply find outside the Void. At this point he was likely to warp them both out of there somehow.

She knew he wanted to know what the hell just happened, his questions would remain in her mind but how to explain it all. Leanne would ponder for a moment or two letting thoughts play through her mind, she would try to control herself this time so that she may be able to explain it or at least a good part of it. Leanne looked at him for a moment taking in his features, smiling she would nod slightly.
"Ok, well I know you want to know the answers to your questions for I can feel it. It's quite a long story to which i'll try to shorten it down, it's hard with some parts".
She would look away for a brief moment trying to contain herself and keep a peaceful calmness, her voice still quite delicate.
Let's start from the beginning...
"When I left you I felt hurt like I never thought I would, after the time we spent in the garden and then finding out what I did at Durem. To say the least I was shocked, for what we shared was sacred, special. Hence the reason I hit you, I was angry and hurt. I left you and went wondering filled with anger and pain, I was lost so to speak. It was like a part of me died that day and still to this day I don't know if it was or has been revived, after awhile I found my sister was pregnant and felt she was worried about her unborn child. With this I went to her in her mind and suggested we returned to our birthplace, she agreed, so off we went".
Leanne was thinking about all this as she spoke picturing it within the very depths of her mind, her eyes grew slightly darker as she continued.
"Me and my sister returned to our homeland where we were soon greeted by old friends and family, we were given a place to live. Memories had started to come back to us, so much pain and sorrow. Me and my sister visited the place....the place where we....died..."
A tear formed then trailed down her cheek, her eyes once more grew darker as she continued deeper into her thoughts as if reliving that part of her history.
"Before we both died we had such a happy life, we were loved by our parents, taught how to fight, given a good education and were being trained as Priestess's. We were human but with special gifts of power and summoners abilities.....We were kind caring loving people....Then...then they.......they took it all away......."
Leanne hissed fiercely as she could feel the fires burn within her, the pain, the suffering, the sorrow, the destruction, the loss. She would try to control it trembling slightly, her eyes growing fiery again as more tears would start to form. There was so much to tell.
