A man dressed in gold and red came out gracefully to meet them. He wore a ring on every finger and had his ears pierced. He embraced his niece.

He bowed his head slightly to Yuki and Kel who bowed fully back. The knights and King's own bowed Tortallen style as did the Royals.

The Emperor bowed back Yamani way. Then spoke in a heavily accented voice in Tortallen,

"I trust you all had a safe and comfortable ride here?" Silence covered them. "Do I take that as a no?" he turned to Kel, Yuki and Shinko.

"Hey I told them. They looked at me as if I were crazy. Not my fault," said Kel raising her hands in a don't blame me fashion. Shinko nodded in agreement.

Yuki smiled a small smile. "Yukimi?" asked the Emperor. She smiled sheepishly. Kel said,

"You didn't warn them?" in Yamani. She shook her head. Kel started laughing but just barely contained it. When Kel was around you couldn't conceal your emotions. Seeing someone look as if they've no care in the world. It makes you want to smile too.

That's what the Emperor did he smiled. "I apologize for Lady Yukimi's behavior." He turned to go inside "Please come in. Welcome to my home."

The tortallens followed while the Yamani's and Kel walked behind.

"So Mindy are you going to train the new recruits?" asked Yuki. Boys who had just come of age to join the army had to get trained and who better than Kel?

"Yep." She replied. An evil smile crossed her face, Yuki and Shinko shared worried glances, "I wonder if the visitors would like to join us?"

Yuki and Shinko both well aware that Kel wasn't considered good enough to train as a knight agreed.

"Come my friends we must get ready for supper," Yuki led them to their ajoined rooms. Yuki and Kel changed into matching blood red dresses and helped Shinko into her very poofy gold and red trimmed dress.

The ladies/warriors also his daggers in every space available. Such as; shoe bottoms, seams, for Kel and Yuki sleeves. Nobody was taking chances.

They were in the middle of the second course when Kel noticed the roof cracking above the Emperor. She calmly got up from her position on his left side.

When it cracked even more and was about to give she pushed him out of his chair and three men came crashing down. One very big man carried a long sword and another and axe. The small man carried two daggers.

"That's not very nice." They looked at Yuki. "We were eating," she was very calm. The assassins were unnerved by her blank face. One of the three suddenly fell with a knife in his back.

There Kel stood covered in dust with one knife in her mouth another in her hand. The big man charged at her with his long sword.

Kel took the knife out of her mouth and held the daggers together to block the oncoming swing. The knights stood up but the Emperor kept them in place.

Kel easily disarmed him and killed him with his own sword. The small man meanwhile had snuck up behind the Emperor knife in hand when Yuki took a swing and decapitated him.

Kel started laughing. The Tortallens started at her as if she had lost it. Shinko clucked her tounge as she leaned on Yuki.

"I see someone will have to train with me tomarrow," kel told Yuki

"Hey I haven't practiced in a while," Yuki defended.

"And who's fault is that?" asked Kel

"Hers," Yuki jabbed a thumb at Shinko. Shinko gave her a look that said What? "I've been dragged around everywhere with you," Shinko nodded her head.

"Wait train with you?" asked Dom. The others were thinking the same thing.

"Yes. I train the new recruits for the army." She shrugged "You could join us if you like," The Yamani's looked ready to warn them about lady Kel's training when they saw the looke on her face

It was sheer delight. It would be very interesting if they all accepted. Which they all did. The servants and everyone else who had heard felt very sorry for the foreigners.

A/N dun dun dun. Ooh the Tortallens are in for it!! Hah wait till they see what Kel and I have in store!! I feel so evil right now. Anyway please review and vote for Kel's pairing!!

I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!
