A/N: Remember, this is TWO YEARS LATER! Izzy is now 30, Iaka is 7, ect, ect...
Gem Warriors 3 -- #2: Konnichewa, Koushiro.
Iaka yawned, sitting up in her bed. It was cold that morning, unlike before, and she suddenly wished that she had another blanket. I wonder if Daddy is already gone?' Iaka thought, looking out her door to the hallway where her father might be. He's never home anymore.'
Iaka stood up, and walk out of the room in her nightgown, her bare legs shivering. Looking out to where the kitchen was, Iaka smiled widely when she saw the faint glow of light illuminating from the doorway. Running to the door, Iaka pushed it open, smiling and saying, Morning, Daddy!
Her father, a tall man, with red hair like hers, was startled slightly as she came and wrapped her arms around his legs, hugging him tightly. As Iaka hugged him, she thought about how strong her Daddy was. My Daddy's the best of any of the others. He's so nice!'
her father said, reaching down and giving his middle daughter a big hug. What are you doing up so early?
Iaka grinned, and gave her father a kiss on the cheek. I just wanted to say goodbye before you left, Daddy! Hugging her father tightly again, she said, You're the best!
Iaka looked up at her father, who smiled proudly for a moment, and then stood up, patting Iaka on the head as he did. You're such a sweetheart. he said, smiling and grabbing his jacket from the chair. I love you, Ia, and I'll be back at seven o'clock, as usual. You'll be nice for Reika, won't you?
Iaka nodded slowly, and watched as her father left the house, waving goodbye as he did. Bye, Daddy... Iaka said quietly, and watched as the door closed behind him. Looking at the door as if she thought it would open again, Iaka sighed and walked back to her bed. Daddy is the best... but he's always gone...'
Iaka crawled into her bed, pulling the covers up tightly to her chin. It was still very cold, but she was fine with it. At the moment, her mind was preoccupied by the thought of her father going off to work, and Reika coming and helping them get up and off to school, and then going to their after-school daycare until her father could pick them up. Shorro was dropped off at the daycare by Reika, after she dropped Iaka and her older sister, Jehana off at school.
Iaka knew that her father was very busy, and she knew that he was earning money for the food that she ate and the clothes she wore- not to mention the new bicycle that she had gotten for her birthday. Iaka knew that money had never been a problem in their household- in fact, it was practically the least of their worries. But Iaka was sometimes upset that her father was never around to see her after school, and he often had to stay late at the office.
Iaka was tired, but for some reason, she couldn't get to sleep. As she sat there, she tried to remember the vague memory of her mother. A blurry image appeared in her mind, one of a smiling lady with soft green eyes like hers, and with wavy brown hair that went down to her shoulders.
Iaka touched her own hair, which was a bright auburn, but it also had the waviness that her mother's hair had. Daddy says that I look like Mommy, and that Jehana does, too. Shorro's so little, but she has brown hair like Mommy, but it's bushy like Daddy's. And she has green eyes, too. But Shorro doesn't even remember Mommy... she was just a baby when Mommy died...'
Iaka blinked as she felt her eyelids growing heavier, but she continued to try and remember her foggy past. Jehana says that Mommy was the nicest mommy ever, and that she never wants Daddy to meet someone else, because there is no way that a new person could be as nice as Mommy was. I don't know, really, but Jehana says that I should never forget who Mommy was, even though I was only five when she died.'
Iaka yawned, and turned over in her covers, looking at the clock by her bed, which said: 5: 24. It's so early.' Iaka thought, her eyelids closing over her tired eyes. After a few moments of simply resting, Iaka thought of the image of her mother, the one and only memory that she had. I miss Mommy, but I wish that Daddy would meet someone else... because I want a mommy.'
Darkness overcame her, and Iaka fell into sleep.
*****
Iie, iie, IIE! Kyra said, sighing, as Liaka missed her mark yet again. If you want to be able to forcefully attack the opponent, you have to look at the target, and square your shoulders. The way your doing it, the enemy could simply take you out by hitting you on the back of the neck.
Liaka looked up at her, her brown eyes sighing. Kyra-sensai, we've been at this for two hours now...
Hai, and you should have learned it by now. Kyra responded, a reprimanding look on her face, and Liaka then continued to hit the target, striving to become better at the fighting part of the training. The tall brunette had basically mastered the planning and strategy portion of the training, but the Liaka was having a bit of trouble with the actually fighting and physical activity of training.
Kyra looked across the training court, and saw that all of the other Gem Warriors were in training- even Alan. The young warrior was being trained by Seiko, who had decided to come down and help the Main Circuit of the Gem Warriors out, as how the older Emerald could not. Kyra saw Grace and Maria training forcefully, along with Laura and the new Ruby, who was named Crystal, ironically enough. Derek and Jason had paired up, training the new Jasper and Topaz- otherwise known as Eli and Hahn. Andri was by herself with Kay, the new Jacinth, and the two were chatting quietly about some sort of new attack formation that Kyra couldn't quite get herself...
It was mid-day, during the daily training session, and it wasn't exactly going too well. None of the younger Gem Warriors could concentrate at all, for some odd reason, and Kyra was getting frustrated with their lack of concentration. It was almost as if they were deliberately not trying...
What is wrong with you guys today? Kyra asked the group, projecting her voice so that everyone could hear her. Or, as Maria would say, ¿Qué tal? Because, I assure you, last week you were working twice, if not three times, as much as this! Not to mention your lack of concentration...
Crystal sighed, placing her Ruby Staff on the side of the training courts. I don't know. she said, speaking for the group as well as herself. It's almost like there's something interfering with our lack of concentration altogether, not just because of today's practice. It feels like something is going to happen... and it's generated towards us, or at least, towards Kaneoti.
Instantly, Maria turned to Derek. Have you felt anything? the Hispanic girl asked, looking at Derek with sharp black eyes.
Iie, I haven't. Derek mused, frowning. It's strange... maybe the atmospheric pressure is affecting the wavelengths of the area around here or something... Andri-chan?
Andri shook her head. Iie. It is something different. In fact, everything that it occurring today, weather-wise, is the same as it was a week ago, and all of you younger warriors were working perfectly fine then. In fact, if there was a difference, this week would actually have benefited from it, so the weather cannot be the problem.
That's rather odd. Seiko agreed, narrowing his eyes, the light from the sun reflecting off of them to show the greenish tint. I can't feel anything, you know, seeing as how I'm from Erotalla, not Kaneoti- but if it's affecting the new Gem Warriors, it must be trouble. In our, no offense, older age, we're not as connected to the Earth as they are... at least, not as much.
Kyra sighed, rolling her eyes and leaning against the side of a nearby building. This was the last thing that she wanted to hear... After all, this training session was technically the last one that Kyra would be involved in. I can't believe that I'm leaving the Gem Warriors...' Kyra thought briefly, remembering an incident the week before...
Amon asked, looking at the smaller person before him.
Kyra looked up at Amon, curious as to why he had called her into his office in the first place. Seeing as how there weren't any new threats that Kyra knew of, she was curious as to why he was so insistent on her coming to see him. Hai, Amon-san?
You have lived two lives, Kyra. Amon said bluntly, getting straight to the point of the conversation. You deserve to take a break.
Kyra blinked, her normally agile mind not quite catching what Amon was saying. N-nani, Amon-san?
Kyra, I don't mean this in any disrespect to you, but I want you to leave the Gem Warriors. Amon explained, holding up his hand to silence Kyra as she began to protest. Look, I know that you don't want to, but it's for your own good. Besides, it's only for a little while... Kyra, you've survived so far with the trauma you have faced, but I want you to have a chance to relax, whether you like it or not.
As Amon said this, Kyra, for once, was speechless...
Kyra closed her eyes, thinking. Leaving the Gem Warriors. I know it's only for a little while, but... it's like leaving my only home.' Thinking back to her past memories of life of Kaneoti, Kyra realized that she loved being on the small world, no matter what hardships came to pass. I know that Amon-san is right. I do need a vacation, as he said... but... a year without helping the Gem Warriors?'
I feel guilty about it already...'
Hey, Kyra-sensei! a voice chirped, and Kyra opened her eyes to see Grace looking at her with a skeptical look in her turquoise eyes. Looking around, Kyra saw that most of the Gem Warriors were already walking back to the main building, and only Grace, Maria, Alan, and Liaka were left. You've been in a daze for the past, oh, say fifteen minutes! C'mon... I'm the delusional one, not you! ....or, at least, I hope not... not yet, anyway... Grace mused, a puzzled look crossing over her face.
Kyra replied, embarrassed at the fact that she hadn't been listening. What did I miss?
Maria shrugged. Nothing much. We decided to kill practice for today, since none of
them were paying attention anyway, but they're going to have extra homework for tonight.
Studying historic Gem Warrior battles of history and writing an essay on the one that we found most interesting... Alan grumbled, crossing his arms and looking at the ground in a disgruntled way, obviously trying to say that he thought the assignment was unfair. I think I'm going to do it on that battle the Outer Circuit faced, against Goluaña, or something like that...
Kyra rolled her eyes at the irritation Alan showed, and Maria ushered the younger Gem Warriors to follow her inside. Kyra began to follow the black-haired woman into the main building as well, but stopped before going inside. Instead, Kyra sat down by the fountain, looking out onto the area that surrounded her.
It was autumn, and the trees that bordered the training grounds were rich and vibrant with fall colors, the soft yellow to the fierce maroon. The main building, which was behind her, was in the back of the training center, and was the only way to get to the forest behind the area, unless you wanted to climb through clumps of thorny bushes to get to the path. Kyra looked out onto the actual training grounds, which actually spread into the forest, and she caught sight of the smaller building, where the new Gem Warriors were taught. A long path wove from the beginning of the training center to the main building, separating the area into two separate halves.
Kyra smiled softly as she looked at all of this before her. Already, she was feeling nostalgic, knowing that she'd be leaving this one area, the place that she had lived for nearly her entire life, in less than an hour. It wasn't as if she wasn't grateful, but Kyra knew that she was going to have trouble leaving. Looking up at the sky, Kyra could see the shimmering brightness of the newly arriving stars, and she realized that she had already discovered her true home... Kaneoti.
One hour. One hour until she would be leaving her home...
Who knows how long it will be until I see this place again?' Kyra thought, closing her eyes wistfully...
*****
Mr. Izumi, there's a call on line two.
Here is the article for the paper I promised you, Mr. Izumi, I'll leave it on your desk.
Um, Mr. Izumi, I have a question about your take on the marketing program I made for the company...
Mr. Izumi, could I check the program of the stocks...
Mr. Izumi, the call on line two is holding. It's apparently a Mr. Yamato Ishida, if you know him...
Izzy held up his hand to silence all of the the chattering voices, and he calmly answered each one of them. Mr. Tenika, thank you for the paper, and no, you can't look at the program now, Mrs. Kaimiti, it isn't up and running yet. Mr. Heeriko, could the question wait until tomorrow? I'm sorry, but I'm swamped, and Ms. Teiko, I'll take the call in here, thank you.
As everyone began to clear out, thankfully, Izzy picked up the handheld phone by his desk. After touching the button on the machine that would connect him with line two, Izzy held the phone to his right ear. Briefly, Izzy hoped that he had heard right, and the call was from his old friend, Yamato Matt' Ishida. Slightly narrowing his eyebrows in curiosity, Izzy said into the phone,
the familiar voice of Matt responded, sounding glad to hear from him. Hey, buddy, how have you been?
Izzy shrugged, even though Matt couldn't see him. I'm fine, myself. I hate to say this, but I'm really busy at the moment... would you mind ignoring the pleasantries for this once? No disregard to you, but today is a busy day...
Aren't they all? Matt asked, laughing slightly over the phone line. Don't worry, I don't have much time either. Actually, what I was calling about was if you and your family could come for a nice little Digidestined get-together. Now, you had better not be busy November 18 through the 21, because everyone else can come, and what would a party be without our former computer genius coming?
Let me check my schedule quick, okay, Matt? Izzy asked, and tapped his computer twice, bringing up the digital schedule. Clicking on the dates that read November 18-21' for that year, Izzy briefly skimmed the plans for that day. Realizing that the dates were free, surprisingly enough, Izzy quickly typed in Digidestined Party', and went back to talking with Matt. Today is September 12... Don't worry, Matt, I'm available. Could you give me the precise information?
Matt relayed the information to Izzy, and then continued with his speaking, Everyone's coming, really. All of us originals, of course, and the new kids are coming, too. Actually, Wallace couldn't make it, but Ken's going to be there, so that's a plus. Besides, you'll all get to see me perform again.
Izzy grinned, and shook his head at the obvious pride in Matt's voice. We'll get to see you perform? Great, I can't wait. As he said this, Izzy took a brief glance the clock on the far wall, and he nearly fell off his chair as he realized that the time was 6: 32. Oh, man! Hey, sorry, Matt, but I have to get going! I promised my daughter Iaka that I'd be back at seven for dinner.
Oh, sorry! It's not that late here in America, but I should have realized. Matt said, sounding embarrassed. Look, I'll see you at the reunion, okay? If you have any more questions, just call me. See ya!
Bye, Matt. Izzy said, and he hung up the phone quickly, grabbing his jacket from the hook that it was on at the same time. Pulling his jacket on, Izzy opened the door and checked out, glancing at his watch as he hurried outside to his car. Pushing open the doors to go outside, Izzy wasn't paying attention as he rushed to where he knew his car was parked-
-and he ran straight into another person.
Falling down to the ground, Izzy looked up at the apparent victim of his haste, a young, auburn-haired woman who looked like she was around his own age. The woman blinked at Izzy silently from behind her glasses, her blue eyes showing off a spark of curiosity and amazement.
I'm sorry, Miss, that was my fault. Izzy said, getting to his feet and holding out a hand to help the young lady up. The woman slowly took his hand, but she continued to gaze at him in amazement. After the woman was helped up, she continued to stare at Izzy, her eyes so wide that they looked as if they were going to fly off her face. Izzy began to feel a bit nervous at the woman's actions, and he tentatively asked,
The woman blinked, and then, finally, found her voice. In a hushed whisper, she asked,
*****
Kyra said, nearly whispering. Sure enough, standing in front of her was the familiar, auburn-haired boy that Kyra knew so well. He had grown taller, obviously, and looked around thirty years old. Well, that's no surprise. I'm thirty years old, and Koushiro's my age...'. Konnichewa, Koushiro.
Excuse me, Miss? the man in front of her asked, and Kyra realized that he didn't recognize her at all. After briefly remembering that his name was Izzy in this time (for some odd reason that Kyra had never really gotten around to asking), Kyra shook her head and smiled.
Izzy, It's me, Kyra Deceemerio. When Izzy still didn't place the face with the name, Kyra rolled her eyes and said, You know! From the Gem Warriors?
As if he was just remembering, Izzy gasped, and grinned at Kyra, his ebony black eyes lighting up. Standing back a little and seeing what Kyra now looked like in a clearer appearance, Izzy said, Kyra! What are you doing here? Aren't you and the Gem Warriors suppose to be out fighting evil, or something like that?
The two adults were now walking again to Izzy's car, the darkness of autumn making it seem a lot later than it actually was. Kyra looked around the area, seeing the annoyingly tall buildings once again, and the shadows that were dancing in the corner of the parking lot. She had come into the largest of the buildings (JehanKa') looking for a job, but what she had found...
Kyra blinked, a bit startled. Oh, hai, Izzy-san?
I asked, why are you here, and not with the Gem Warriors?
At this question, Kyra paused, unsure of how to answer. Looking up at Izzy's curious face, Kyra shrugged her shoulders and said, I was layed off.
Izzy's confused and annoyed yell made Kyra want to start laughing hysterically. As Izzy was giving her a puzzled gaze, as if he was unsure of what she had just said. Kyra couldn't help herself as she broke down laughing, having to lean on the side of Izzy's car for support. Iie... really, Izzy, I was just joking...
I should hope so!
Kyra straightened herself as her laughter began to subside, and she brushed a stray piece of her reddish hair out of her face. Looking up at Izzy, who was waiting patiently for Kyra to speak, Kyra shook her head in amusement. After a few more seconds, Kyra decided that she should probably explain, and she said, Actually, I was just ordered to take a break. Amon-san thinks that I should be on vacation, after serving the Gem Warriors for two lifetimes or so...
Izzy had opened his car door, and he gestured for Kyra to sit down as well, which she did, still speaking, Arigatou, Izzy-san. Uhm... wait a minute, where are we going?
I figured that you didn't have anywhere to go, so I'm offering you a chance to stay at my place. Izzy explained, switching on the ignition. If you do have a place to stay already, I'll drive you home.
Kyra blinked, again realizing just how observant (and caring) Izzy was. Shaking her head slightly, she said, Okay, are you psychic? Because I swear, you're the only person I know that would have remembered that I probably didn't have a place to stay. And wait, Derek's psychic, and he still wouldn't do that, so you can't be...
I'm the only one? Izzy asked, raising an eyebrow as he pulled out of his parking spot. You've obviously forgotten who Cody Hida is...
Cody-chibi? That cute little solemn boy?
He isn't so little anymore... Cody's just finishing college now, and he's the only one of us Digidestined that are still in school. Izzy explained, his eyes focused on the road ahead of him. As for Yolei and Davis, although you didn't ask, Yolei is the head of the American branch of my company, and Davis actually is playing soccer for Tokyo. Don't ask me why he wants to; I think it seems like too much work, but he's actually pretty good at it. I don't know what his wife thinks about it thought...
Kyra shook her head, and raised an eyebrow questionably. What about the others? Where are they, now?
Well, Matt is a top music star... everyone seems to love his music, so he's quite famous. Sora owns her mother's flower shop, and she and Mimi paired up to turn the shop into both a flower shop and a Herbal Beauty' shop, whatever that means. Tai is a phy. ed. teacher at Odaiba Elementary, and Joe is a marine biologist... after awhile, he decided to switch from being a doctor to working with sea animals. Izzy explained, looking to see if any cars were coming before he stepped on the gas.
And what about T.K. and Kari?
Kari's a professional photographer, and T.K. is a counselor at a high school somewhere... Those two are married, of course, and they have a daughter named Lys. Izzy frowned as he tried to think of what Matt had said about T.K. and Kari, and then he nodded as he remembered the detail. Also, they're expecting another child soon.
Kyra laughed and shook her head, her blue eyes sparkling with laughter. T.K. and Kari... how in the world did I know that those two would be getting together? It's so bluntly obvious that it isn't even funny... now, the other's don't have spouses? You said that Davis did, but what about the other Digidestined?
Izzy looked out onto the street, and saw that his home was nearby. Slowly down, Izzy replied, Tai is married to a girl named Kate (I've met her, she's very nice), and they have a daughter, but I forget the name. Matt and Joe are still single, I believe, but Mimi has a husband named Michael, and Sora's married to... uhm, Omaru Tekkinaita, but I may be wrong. Sora has three children now, I think... two boys and a girl.
And the others...? Kyra questioned as the car was parked, and she opened the door on her side so that she would be let out. Izzy began to led the way into the home, and Kyra followed, waiting for the answer.
Davis has a wife named Kylene, like I said, and they have two children, both boys. Yolei, surprisingly enough, is married to Ken. Ain't that something? Kyra frowned as Izzy laughed, and she was curious if it was some sort of private joke. Who's Ken?' Kyra wondered briefly, but ignored the thought. Regardless, she didn't say anything, and Izzy continued. Cody... I have no clue about him, but I'm sure that he's met someone.
Yeah, because we all know that he is such a lady's man... Kyra said, rolling her eyes. Izzy also laughed as he opened the door to his home, shaking his head slightly at the humor in the comment. Kyra frowned sightly as she stepped into the house, asking, So who exactly is this Ken'? I don't think that I've met him...
Actually, Ken in the Digimon Emperor. Izzy replied, taking her coat, and hanging it up on a hook by the door. I don't know if we told you about him, but during the time that you Gem Warriors came, we were in the middle of fighting him, because he wanted to take over the Digital World. After awhile, Ken realized that he wasn't truly a bad person, and he changed sides.
Kyra blinked, recognizing the idea of the situation. This may surprise you, but the same thing actually happened to us, except the other way around. You remember Breyata, right? Kyra asked, and continued as Izzy nodded, Well, Breyata became fed up with how we all we running things, and she decided to mutiny, so to speak. Basically, she turned traitor, it was a heck of a battle trying to fight her off... In the end, Seiko killed her. Shaking her head slowly, Kyra muttered, It was a horrible time... they called in all of us in the Main Circuit to help fight, it was so bad... Poor Seiko was distraught.
I can imagine. Izzy said, after hanging his own coat up. Looking around the entryway, Izzy looked at Kyra and said, I should probably get my daughters out here, you'd probably like to meet them... At Kyra's skeptical expression, Izzy laughed and said, I know you hate kids, but trust me, my girls are very polite... when they want to be. Anyway... Jehana, Iaka, Shorro!
Instantly, Kyra heard a door slam, and watched as a small girl, with forest green eyes and brown, curly hair, came and wrapped her arms tightly around Izzy's knees. Following the first girl, another one wobbled out, and Kyra saw that this one was reasonably younger, with shrub-like brown hair and pale green eyes. Again, another girl followed the previous one, and this one was a tall, gangly girl, with thin brown hair that went down to her waist, and ebony black eyes.
Izzy turned to Kyra, and pointed to the girls. The little one is Shorro, and over there, the oldest, is Jehana. Izzy smirked down at the girl hugging his knees, and he said, This ever-so-abundant one here is Iaka. At those words, Izzy looked at his children, and gestured to Kyra. Girls, this is my friend Kyra. She'll be staying here for awhile.
How... nice. Jehana said, smiling coldly at Kyra. Kyra blinked at this sudden display of emotion, but shrugged it off casually. She's probably worried about where I'm going to be staying while I'm here.' Kyra reasoned, but she couldn't help but wonder about the girl's attitude.
Smiling, Kyra decided to make a good impression on the girls. Well, do you need help with dinner?
A//N: Okay, okay, a few things to mention. 1) Izzy trusts Kyra, because she is a galactic warrior. Warriors are typically not the type to go in and steal stuff. 2) I know that it isn't exactly realistic for Izzy to invite her to his home so quickly... so sue me. ^^; I'm not an adult... and 3) Jehana's actions WILL be explained... I am not making her be cold for no reason, so just bear with me... in the next part, I'll explain.
Also, here's how you pronounce a few of the names (I haven't done this yet... hm...)
Kyra: keer- ah
Jehana: Je- haa- naa
Iaka: Eye- a - kaa
Shorro: Sh- oor- o
Seiko: Say- ko
Andri: An- dree
Jyuli: Juu- lee
Elian: Ee- lee- aan (if it helps, think Elian Gonzales)
Audrey: Ah-dray
These are just a few that I think that you might have a bit of trouble pronouncing. Also, yes, I am coming up with a Side-story that tells the entire story of Breyata's betrayal... you all expected her to betray, right? Actually, this story gives you more understanding of Breyata's character, as well as Seiko's.... because I love my character Seiko.... ^^;
Also, I have a few notes for some people...
Seiitsu: Yes, I'm deliberately making side-stories *just* to annoy you... ^^ That's the only reason behind it. Also, you need to e-mail me immediately! It has to do with your part in this fic... Belladova, Genevieve, I have an idea that involves you three, so be expecting an e-mail from me soon... well, unless I forget.... don't let me forget! Whaa...
AniDragon: I do believe that it was you who wanted to be Cody's girlfriend, right? Well, if it was, you also need to e-mail me immediately, because I need your permission for something that has to do with this fic.
Lys: *sniff* It's all you're fault I couldn't get this out faster! I want that sequel to Innocence'! Whaa.... *weeps*
Aynslesa: I... I didn't include you in the last Arigatou section'! Whaa, I'm sorry! I still love your fics, and I *really* want you to continue! *cough* Yes, continue.... ^^;;
AnimeCrazyDC: Don't worry, I'm going to use your name! ....eventually... yes... *cough* ^^;;
K-1: Gomen ne! I already had all the Gem Warriors picked, and Jyou has to stay single for a reason that's coming up... (*giggles* Grace-chan knows what I'm talking about). Anyway, I hope that being with Davis didn't bug you too much! Is that okay?
Kat-chan: I don't even know if you read this.... but PLEASE FINISH THE MEEK SHALL INHERITE THE EARTH'!! Please... I'm dying in worry for poor Iori-chibi...
Also... DON'T WORRY, THE RING OF DESPAIR- PART 8' IS ON IT'S WAY! ....*sigh* I write and write, and nothing seems to please you all... *smirk* I'm kidding! Don't worry, I know I'm slacking off on The Ring of Despair'.
POLL! (yes, I know this author's note is long... live with it...):
Here's a question for you all, and please answer honestly: Do you think that my character Kyra is like a Mary Sue' type character? Please, yes or no, tell me why you think that. ^^ Thank you! (and no, I don't want her to be Mary Sue'... *shudders*)
Big Arigatou section = Short : DCI, Cybra, HRW, Seiitsu, ~Lys~, Aynslesa, Aquarius (*cough;continueTheChosen'cough*), ArcherXtreme, AniDragon, Nintai, Grace Dragondale, and Liaka. (BTW, to Grace and Liaka, we have to get together sometime! At Liaka's house this time, it's her turn anyway!)
Arigatou for reading, and please review! Ja ne! Kyra-chan
