"Hey, where've you guys been? Almost everyone's gone to bed already." Kel asked as Heihachi and I walked back into the Agency. Both of us were leaving giant wet puddles of water behind us...

"We were outside getting a bit of fresh air." I said. Well, that was partially true. It was the reason I went outside in the first place.

"While it was raining and thundershowering?" Zero said raising an eyebrow.

Heihachi and I were silent.

"We were getting fresh lightning." I replied almost monotone. Kel and the others then suddenly went into an all out rampage of W00TS and such and dogpiled Heihachi. I just managed to scramble out of the way!

I looked at Kariudo for explanation. Kel nii-san apparently, has been 'Setting us up' for half the journey since the Chocobo incident in Mi'hin. The Moonflow... dammit Kel had it all planned out... Not that it was a really bad thing but...

"Wait, so you set us up outside just now too?" I asked.

"Actually, that happened on it's own, I had nothing to do with it." Kel said with his hands in the air, "Man you guys are good together! When you get married, I wanna be you're best man Heihachi!" I saw Zero in the corner reading his hentai. Obviously he wasn't reading, I could see his eyes shift from Heihachi and me. I decided to ignore him, he was acting strange. Well, stranger than usual.

I quickly brushed it off, "Hey guys, now that I think about it..." Everyone stopped with the celebrating and tilted their heads at me, "Please don't tell Vale about us. If he knows I know for sure he'll try and slit Hei-san's throat in his sleep, or if he's awake he'll challange him to some kinda of... Uh... slaughter fest."

"Or in his style, a duel to the death." Kein said raising his shoulders up into a comical shrug.

"Don't worry, we won't tell him." Kel said, "WILL WE GUYS?" Everyone shook their heads.

"Can I at least tell the others?" Ian said.

"Then what is the point of the secret?" Charden asked sipping some tea.

"As long as you don't tell Vale, you can tell the others. But make them SWEAR to not tell Vale." Kel said, "If one of you blabs to purple pants, my metal tipped boot is going to be shoved so far up your a--"

"You're secret will be kept safe." Charden quickly said to silence Kel.

"Thank you everyone." Heihachi and I both said and bowed. We looked at each other and chuckled.

Kein yawned.

"Well, we should probably get some sleep now." Kariudo said, "Good night everyone!"

"G'night!"

"Good night." All the men trotted off to their rooms.

"Kiako, we're in this room. Zero said it'd be cheaper if we shared rooms." Kariudo said pointing to the left door, "Our guardians room is across from us." She unlocked the door after giving it a confirming knock and walked in leaving the door open. I turned around facing Hei-san.

"Good night Hei-san." I smiled. Heihachi embraced me again and gave my forehead a gentle nudge.

"Until dawn arrives from the night, I will wait forever to see your smile light my day." he said, "Good night, my little kitten."

ʓʓʓ

I closed the door seeing our room. Surprisingly it had a very nice decorator. There were 4 giant beds with canopy's, a somewhat decent window of the Thunder Plains and a full length mirror. Kuro had untied her long brown hair and brushed it as it hung in long silky strands. She was sitting cross legged on a bed reading a manga book she probably stole from my back pack, which was sitting on the bed across from her. Already Kyoko was down my throat springing out of nowhere and shaking me. I swear I almost had a heart attack!

"Oh my god! You and that guy didn't, you know..." Kyoko asked hyperly, "Tell me tell me! Detail now!" with inhuman massive strength she swung me onto the bed across from Kuro and jumped on herself.

"What details? Stop scaring me!" I cried holding out a pillow as a sheild.

"Come on, I know you like him!" Kyoko grinned hopping up and down on the bed, "Tell me about him!"

"Yes, to be honest I don't know much about him either." Kariudo asked, "What do you see in him?"

"YOU TOO?" Kuro cried, "I'm gonna get sick with all this love crap! What are you, trying to kill me?"

"Nevermind her, spill! SPILL!" Kyoko prodded.

"Well, he's really nice." I started.

"Goody two shoes to be exact." Kuro added in.

"I like nice people!" I said defensivly.

"Nice guys finish last, don't you know?" Kuro grinned.

"Well all of your favorite characters die." I countered.

"What about the weird windy guy from Legend of Dragoon who died and got possessed by a demon and ended up in Hell?" Kuro shot back and chuckled, "Heh heh, that was awesome."

"His name is Lavitz, and I still don't understand why such a guy can end up in such a place! I can't believe your soul purpose of playing the game is to watch Lavitz die, TWICE!" I said sticking my tongue out at her and continued. How Hei-san was so nice and cheerful all the time, even if he was really clumsy.

"He seems like a really sweet guy." Kariudo said after I explained. Kuro made at least 3 trips to the bathroom, guess she can't stomach all the love in the room...

"I'll say! Poetry, sweet smiles, that's so cute!" Kyoko squealed, "Now, if only Kuro-sama would answer my cell phone messages..."

"Maybe it's because you send him almost over a million bllion that he won't answer them." Kuro the blackmage said flipping a page, "All of them say the same thing, 'Oh I love you! Do you love me? Love, love, love, love! BAH..."

"So I suppose you don't believe in love then?" Kariudo asked removing her sandals, head band and coat then climbed into bed.

"Kinda. Honestly, I hate anything that has to do with, Love and Togetherness and--"

"Huggles?" I asked holding my arms out for a hug.

The bedside lamp almost collided with my head and halted in mid air before it crashed into the wall. Even if Kuro DID have a violent temper against those huggy words, she at least can cast spells fast enough to stop things from breaking.

"ESPECIALLY those. I HATE that word! So stop talking about lovey dovey stuff now!" Kuro growled and tucked the book away. I quickly went to a change room and sphere changed from my wet clothing into my Black Mage Dress sphere. I rubbed at the fabric.

Hm, no wonder Kuro likes being a Black mage. The robes were light and soft and felt very comfortable and refreshing at the same time. I also felt this mysterious urge to blow something up. Of course, my BM robes were thinner than Kuro's so maybe that's why I feel a bit cold.

Perfect.

"Alright everyone, lights out." Kuro said blowing out the candle.

THUMP!

"Oww..."

Kuro relit the candle with a fire spell just in time to see me sprawled on the floor in the middle of the room.

"What'd you trip on this time...?" Kuro asked, "Oh nevermind, I'm not even going to ask...G'night!"

"Night." I said softly and curled up under the feathery quilt into a ball.

ʓʓʓ

In the morning we all met in the lobby again. Only this time everyone was giving us knowing looks. I was trying to eat my eggs without turning completely red. Heihachi smiled reassuringly and gave my hand a squeeze.

"You know what I find weird..." Ian said sitting beside us, "That you and Hei-man are like, what, 11 years in age apart from each other?"

Oh dear god he has a point! What if Hei-san is considered like...a pedophile or something! Kyaaah!

Everyone must've known what I was thinking because for some reason my arms started to flail around on their own accord.

"Love has knows no race or age, even Vale himself said that." Heihachi said and rubbed my head, "He'll understand."

"If he ever finds out." Ian said.

"Actually, I'm going to tell him myself." Heihachi replied. Everyone at our table either choked on their food or spat it out at the person across from them.

"WHAT!"

"Did you, hit your head this morning?" Fayt asked wiping off the pancake slurry that Kel sprewed onto his hair. Poor Kel was coughing and Kakashi was slapping him on the back trying to prevent him from dying.

"Well, it's not really fair that he's the only one that doesn't know, and he does love Kiako. He has a right." Heihachi said. Kuro slammed her fist down on the table.

"That's it! I don't care how hard it's raining, I want you all to take your Lovey talk OUTSIDE!" she roared.

"Don't worry! We'll stop it here!" I said trying to make sure she didn't obliterate us with a Flare spell.

Serisously, some of her spells can match the magnitude of a planet imploding.

I heard some familiar foot steps and saw Vale walk out from the hallway.

"Good morning my dear brothers and sisters." he said with his arms spread wide.

"Brother? I ain't your brother, I hardly know you!" Ian said, "Um, what was his name again? Purple pants?"

"How could you forget my name!" Vale said appaled, "I am Vale Valentine the-"

"Three thousand thrity-forth, we know." Zero scoffed.

Ian scratched at his head, "Sorry! Old bad head wound, makes me forget some stuff." he said, "Purple pants. Weird name..."

"Well, you're all like my other family, only much much poorer." Vale smiled.

"Don't remind us..." Kuro's group seemed to have a dark depression aura around them. Train of course, was totally unphased which only meant he was the cause of their money lose.

"Oh, anyway." Heihachi stood up, "Vale, I need to talk to you about something, it's about Kiako..."

"NOOO!"

"WAH!" Heihachi cried as Kel, Fayt, Hakkai, Kein, and pretty much the rest of the outgoing men in our group jumped on him into a giant dogpile.

"What about my Kiako?" Vale asked.

"She..." Kel started and his head was squished down by Sven.

"Has fleas! Many many fleas!" Sven shouted suddenly and was squished down by Train.

"She also has a bad case or Melaphoma!"

"You idiot! It's Melanoma, not Melaphoma! And it's a skin disease!"

"She's also has a bad case of overdose, of pixie stix!" Kel yelled.

"How many sicknesses do I have!" I shouted in exasperation. God! I might as well be bedridden and paralyzed from the waist down with fleas, sun burn and sugar high!

"Um... Right then..." Vale slowly started to back away as everyone got up off the floor.

"Fleas Sven? Melanoma? OVERDOSE?" I hissed to the trio.

"Hey, first thing in my head." Sven said fixing his white hat.

After breakfast we left and I cast NulTide on us again. Fortunatly it wasn't raining very hard so I only had to cast about a sphere per group. More lighting struck and boomed and occasionally Kyoko would latch onto Train frightened.

"ARG! GAG ME WITH A SPOON OR SOMETHING!" Kuro roared then paused for a moment, "Wait, I'm too smart to die. I'LL GAG YOU WITH SPOONS!" she threatened and stomped out.

ʓʓʓ

"Oh! So this is Macalania woods." I said looking at the crystalized flowers and trees, "Everything's so pretty!"

"Yeah, and shiny." Kuro said with a smile. Everyone was admiring the forest and the tiny tinkling noises from the trees knocking together from the wind.

"Ok guys, enough sight seeing. Let's get moving." Zero said folding his book into his pocket. While walking I heard Kuro's voice and focused. Sure it was eavesdropping, and it was rude, but a cat that's curious just has to know.

What happened to, Curiousity killed the cat?

That, would be exactly what Kuro would say.

It'd be best if you left them alone.

But... Well, I guess you're right. Still...

Hm...?

I wonder if Kuro's in love with Hao-sama?

Don't. Even. Go there.

Aww, but why?

Because I said so.

BECAUSE YOU SAID SO? Hey! Listen! You're MY conscience so I don't have to listen to you!

Of course you do, who else will listen to your stupid remarks?

"Kiako-chan? What's wrong? You seem, peeved." Heihachi asked. I snapped out of my mind and noticed that I had been stomping on the ground and leaving craters. Apparently, I was more then peeved...

"Eh? Oh, I'm just thinking, really hard."

"Don't think too hard, you could hurt yourself badly and turn into a vegetable." Zero snorted. I puffed my cheeks angrily at him.

"Now you wonder why I'm peeved..." I muttered.

ʓʓʓ

We all decided with rock, paper, scissors on who should take the sparkly path. The path isn't THAT big, and it'd be so crowded who knew who could fall off! Or be pushed off...

So we did rock, paper, scissors again to see who would take the shiny path and who would take the normal, fiend infested path.

Let's see... Scissors, Scissors... Rock...

Rock?

I stared at my balled fist.

"I win! I FINALLY WON ROCK PAPER SCISSORS AGAINST KURO! ROCKS ALWAYS SMASH SCISSORS" I shouted triuphantly then tapped my head, "Wait, rock beats scissors, but paper beats rock, but scissors cuts paper! That's just... twisted."

"Yeah yeah, quiet before you attract any fiends." Kuro said shaking her head. We parted our seperate ways. Kuro went on the right path of the woods, Kariudo took the left path and we made our way to the shining road.

"We'll see you on the other side!" I called waving at Kuro and Kariudo.

"Oh right." Kuro handed me a pair of fingerless gloves, "They were in the box by the agency, they have those transmutation circles on them so I'm guessing they're your weapons. See ya." she said. I thanked her and she disappeared among the trees.

"Hey, where's that Vale guy?" Kyoko asked looked around and using her hand as a visor. We all glanced around and soon enough Vale reappeared from behind some trees.

"Forgive me, I had some business to take care of." he replied tossing his hair behind his shoulder in a suave way. I sighed turning on my heel and marching ahead. We traveled on our own path now, up the sparkle path and across the trees.

Almost over 40 feet above the ground.

"WHEE!" Kyoko was twirling around in happy spins, "We're so high up!"

"Kyoko-san, please be careful!" Charden warned. I smiled at Charden trying to prevent Kyoko from falling to her impending doom and took hold of Hei-san's hand. He smiled and gave my hair a playful ruffle making me squeak as a reaction.

Heihachi laughed, "Kawaii, Kiako-chan." he leaned over to comb some of my hair down onto my head again instead of making it look like orange carrot sprouts.

"Psst! You guys wanna tone it down? We're not THAT big a mob that we can cover Vale, he's starting to put up that Aura O' Doom of his." Kel hissed to us while watching Vale trying to jump up and down.

"AH HA! There! Holding hands again!" Vale shouted accusly and reached for his rapier, "I'll..."

"DA!" Chibi Chichiri latch himself onto Vale's face and was desperating trying to be peeled off.

"AHH! I'VE GONE BLIND!"

"YOU SAW NOTHING NO DA!"

"Ah! Vale-kun, Chichiri-san! Careful not to fall!" Heihachi paniced and entered the fray.

I couldn't help but snort and start laughing at the scene of everyone trying to either avoid Vale or try to prevent Vale from falling off the trail and taking Chichiri to his death with him. Kakashi had a smile on his face and pet my head.

"Well, happy aren't we?" he said. I looked off to the side feeling my face heat up.

"Yeah, pretty happy." I replied and smiled up at him. His head suddenly jerked up and he shoved me into the road.

"Everyone down!" he roared and threw a storm of kunai that deflected a bunch of shuriken.

"What the-? Who's attacking?" Zero said and drew his giant shuriken. Everyone drew their weapons, Vale for some reason, looked relatively calm... I put my hands into a seal uncase I had to do some rapid ninja mojo magic.

Kakashi glanced at me and pointed at both his eyes, then to his right. He pointed at my eyes and pointed them to his left. I nodded, pretending I understood. Hey I've seen so many war movies, all I can think of is that he wants me to keep an eye out for enemies. Kakashi nodded, gestured to Zero to follow and jumped into the trees with him. All was silent except the russling of the leaves. I scanned the area and strained my ears trying to hear any sounds. How could ninjas be in this world? We're just in the forest! Another storm flew in and Kel threw three Tornado disks to ward them off. As soon as the disks left his fingers, another array of kunais rained down.

"Behind us!" Charden shouted and thrust out his hands, "Bloody- GAH!" a kunai implanted itself into his left shoulder and he slumped over almost falling off the bridge.

"Charden-san!" Kyoko cried and a flame lit itself in her eyes. With a scream of anguish she blew a giant wave of fire into the trees burning down almost half a quarter of the forest. Everyone stumbled as the road shook and rocked itself.

"Careful! Those trees hold up this thing ya know?" Kel said and twirled his spear to deflect the kunais, "Damn, just how many are there?" I was slowly backing up and heard the rustle of leaves.

"Tajuu Kage Bunshi no jutsu! (Multi shadow clone no jutsu!)" I shouted and hundreds of Kiako's flew from my body. I suddenly felt my breath coming out heavier and I sank down to one knee. Damn, why did I get so tired all of a sudden? Well, now that I think about it, I haven't really been in many battles lately. I let out a chuckled to myself. Man, am I out of practice... Thousands of popping sounds were heard and I looked up just in time to see a kunai fly right into my leg.

I stared at it for a moment, dumbfounded. I mean come on, I SEE the giant pointy metal object sticking out of my leg. Just... Well... I felt my mouth in a totally shocked and stupidied 'O'

When blood started to pour out, then my mouth kinda caught up to my nerves. Heihachi slide beside me and quickly checked my leg.

"Doesn't look too bad, I can patch it up if I have time..." he glanced to the side, "Chichiri! I need a barrier here!" The monk minus his mask quickly obliged stepping to where we were kneeling and after muttering a few words, let loose a small bubble around us. Heihachi sheathed his sword and reached into his left breast pocket as he gave me small orders to move my leg and such. A muffled BOOM rocked the barrier and I saw the chi ripple. Nine other apple sized lumps thudded onto the bridge in front of the barrier. Chichiri put his hand into a seal and starting chanting outloud just as the bombs exploded. The barrier shimmered and disappeared almost sending Chichiri flying.

"Grenades? They're chucking F---ing grenades!" Kel shouted.

My mouth made another stupidied 'O'. Kel-san swore! He actually said the F bomb! I thought my friend Kyle only swore that badly!

When another bunch of exploding apple landed near Kel he roared and used his spears as golf clubs slapping the grenades back into the trees where they blew down two trees. I was still too shocked hearing Kel swear. Another explosion rocked on my left and I heard Heihachi shouting. I looked and saw he was hanging off the bridge dangling above the trees. MAN do we have bad luck today! I took hold of his wrist and tried to haul him up just as another bomb decided to blow itself up near us making the freaking bridge shake.

I sighed. Great, now the BOTH of us were dangling off the bridge. Chichiri had backed up to where we were hanging and he glanced down at us. When he looked up again he suddenly looked back and closed his good eye looking away.

He stomped on my hand. HARD.

"Gah!" startled, and somewhat infuriated, my hand slipped off the bridge and Hei-san and I plummeted down. As soon as I had recovered from the shock of my hand being stepped on, the back of my head slammed into something with a loud, THOCK! and again, then again! Stars blew up in my eyes and when my head hit something again, I suddenly blacked out with the fading image of a Cactaur doing some kind of warped Jig.

Authors Notes: Sorry I haven't been updating! Heh heh, this story sucks anyways so I guess no one really cares. n.n;; But I've been really absorbed in my Legend Of Dragoon fic! Just now it's a bit of a...writers block. Well, thanks for reading, bye!
