Neal Sigh

Disclaimer: well the characters are Tammy's and this is kind of inspired by something she said while signing my copy of Tricksters Queen. So really I'm just expanding on something she said... but I hope she won't mind if I use it.....

Chapter ONE

Neal had been rambling on for 10 or so minuets, Kel had lost track. Her attention had drifted over to where a cluster of men stood. She could see Dom just outside it. His hair a darker brown then her own was newly cut in many layers, none longer then his collar. He turned around; his eyes still the un-identifiable colour that they were when they first met.

"Kel, Kel, KEL!" came from Neal's end.

"Oh what, oh sorry Neal. I was um, not really listening, I was distracted."

"Um-uh, like watching a certain sergeant?"

"Ha-ha very funny Neal, for you information I was um, admiring the-the-the new um, wine glasses." A look from Neal saying that he disbelieved her "Ok fine. Since when did you know?"

He went on for a bit, Kel soon lost interest, a new guy in Dom's circle caught her attention, and she thought that he might have been from the new Copper Isles delegation. Since Queen Dove took the throne, she had set out to make friends with all the surrounding countries. His not so dark skin, showed a mixed parentage. She soon took her attention off his deep brown eyes when she figured out that she was steering at him, but she figured out that he was steering back. She hid her eyes; she could see him smile from the corner of her eyes. He looked to be about 23, (Two years older then her) his chest filled out his tunic nicely. He probably was a politician, being with the delegation. But she couldn't help notice his great body structure.

Kel noticed that Neal had shut up, two things in this world could make him shut up, Alanna yelling at him, but she hadn't heard any yelling, or he was dead, that wasn't it either, she could hear him breathing. She turned, Yuki walked by. Neal had followed her every move she glanced back. His mouth was a little open but from awe.

"How does she do that?" Kel asked in admiration.

"You don't want to know," he said, his eyes never moving Yuki.

"Kel, um I need to say something, it's important." Said Yuki when she came to the practise courts.

"Can you tell me while I'm at the baths?" Kel replied a little whine in her voice.

"I need one to, so I'll come." They set out to the baths, the steaming water was welcomed from Kel, and she slipped in. The hot water soothed her aching body.

"Kel, about- about that thing I needed to talk to you about."

"Go ahead," Kel said clearly not paying attention.

"Um well, you see"

"Just spit it out," Kel interrupted.

"I'm kind of,"

"Yuki?"

"Meet Neal, junior" she tapped her abdomen.

"Really? That great!" Kel jumped up and cried. She would have hugged her except for the lack of clothes.

A/N So??? What do you think? I'm thinking Taybur's younger bro? A HOT younger bro.... I'm sorry all you who are reading my other story, but this idea came to me while meeting Tammy, she's great. And the Darking voice is good, she does it well.
