Chapter 26:
*Uria POV*
She had been praying to Paya for sometimes now, quietly asking her to bring her daughter back, safe and sound.
But right now, she was asking for someone else's guidance.
''… you left them too early, Kar. Ari still needed you at the time, badly. Dena'ee is an adult…but he's still young. He has been trying hard with his little brother and everything else. I was surprised. But…now, they'd both need you. I'd need you too…I wasn't ready when you left us.
My big Boy is lost…I know: I'm sure you're blaming the human right now. You were wrong: this child has been a breath of fresh air. I'm sure you wouldn't have turn her away once you'd seen her: she was a cute little pup. You couldn't have resisted, no matter what you were saying about humans. From where you are, you probably saw her anyway: she did us good. She even melted our Arbitrator's heart, which is difficult.
He needs you, my dear. I am certain you can hear me right now: please guide him. Dena'ee is blinded by the emotions he claims he doesn't have. Don't let him do anything rash.
And your last son. Ha… he was always different this one. So gentle and compassionate. My baby is angry with his big brother… They are a family and they don't talk to each other! Ari is so resentful, so accusing toward Dena'ee. Instead of helping each other to find the person they both love the most: they are fighting. I don't know what to tell them anymore! They are so hard headed these boys, I swear!
Kar'Dan… watch over them all. I want all of my children back here. I want Ari to become a healer and open a clinic for both yautjas and humans like he always said he would do. I want Dena'ee and Lyna to come back here together and have the child they talked about some time ago and be happy.
And I miss you… Everyday. ''
She said a few more prayers and went in the kitchen to prepare her boys their lunch. Ari'dan had arrived two days ago and was already saying he was going to Earth. She just hoped he would find Lyna and convince her to come back and settle things here. Dena'ee wasn't himself anymore; he was short tempered and she knew he wasn't sleeping well. The black yautja wasn't eating much either; Uria was worrying about him. Ari'dan's presence didn't help: he was not a support for his older brother, but quite the opposite. The younger sibling was always glaring at him and quietly growling.
The green female prepared meat and fruits for them; a simple meal as it was only the lunch.
She yelled at them loudly: '' Boys! Time for lunch! ''
The servant walked into the dining room and began to depose the plates and two other servants came to bring the food.
Uria calmly sat herself on one of the benches and waited for her boys. Ari'dan arrived first and took his usual place; Dena'ee came a minute later and took the master's chair at the end of the table.
'' Good appetite my darlings.''
''Thanks Uria.'' ''Thank you.'' The males said together.
They began the meal in silence and the green female immediately noticed the Arbitrator was taking really small bites, not really eating, mostly accompanying them.
'' My dear… I know you don't feel so well these times, but you need to eat more than that: you're an 8 feet tall male… 2 or 3 pieces of fruit a couple bites of meat is not enough. Certainly not days in a row.'' She pointed out in a gentle voice.
'' I'm fine Uria…I just don't have a big appetite right now.''
The servant glanced at Ari: ''Told him you; you're a future a healer. You know how it can affect him.''
The grey blue yautja only grumbled: '' He's a grown male; he knows what's best for him.''
Uria sighed; in Ari'Dan language this meant: 'He can starve himself for all I care.'
Suddenly, the student spoke again: '' I'm leaving tomorrow, I will stay on Earth for a maximum of time before classes start again. ''
She looked up: '' So soon? You only arrived two days ago! ''
The younger sibling was dead serious: '' I need to find my little sister! I need to talk with her and know what she's going to do so I can adjust my plans with her.''
Dena'ee growled loudly: '' If you find her; you bring her back here.''
'' I, being reasonable and respectful toward Lyna, will not force her to do something she doesn't wish to do! I will speak with her. If she wants to stay on Earth I'll join her once I finished my studies. '' The future healer said in a hard tone.
The black male glared at him:'' Ari'Dan; she is my mate. I love her as much as you do. I know I have disappointed her, but it wasn't a reason to leave me and stay on Earth away from her family. Pup will come back here and assume the responsibility of her acts. We will resolve the situation.''
Ari'dan's mandibles extended: '' By 'assuming the responsibility of her acts' you mean you will punish her? What are you gonna do? Keep her prisoner here again?! Stop wondering why she would rather stay on Earth away from her family than be with you! Why would she come back just to be punished and unhappy?! ''
The Arbitrator's mane flared: ''What she did is serious Ari: she provoked a riot in Madison city and the humans killed any yautjas there civilian and not or made them flee! She could be arrested and executed for that! Because of my status, she won't. However, Lyna will bear the consequences of her choices. ''
The little brother rose to his feet: '' It's your fault anyway! Don't you think it pained her enough to see you kill these humans!? She suffers as much as you do; Lyna doesn't need your stupid punishments! ''
Taking back his composure, the black yautja rumbled: '' This might be true and I will take my own responsibilities about that. I will wait for you little brother and if you do not come back with my mate, I will bring Pup back myself. Once she's here, I will deal with her. ''
'' Don't do that; don't sanction her.''
'' This foolish human needs to be taught what respect is. I have been too kind with her; too soft. She doesn't act like a human should around yautjas. Pup only obeys when it suits her; this has to change.'' He explained in a hard tone.
'' She never once disobeyed me! I never even had to order her anything; she already knew what I expected of her! '' the younger yautja snarled.
''Well, not with me and I will not tolerate her disobedience or disrespect anymore.''
Ari'dan trilled forlornly: '' You'll just make her sad again! Will you let her communicate with me at least? You have no idea how I have missed her last time! I was worried Dena'ee! ''
'' I know she won't be pleased with her situation. She will be unhappy for the time of her punishment. Once her behavior has been corrected, I will remove the sanction.''
Scoffing, the student said: '' Lyna does as she likes; she's her own master. My sister won't change her ways just to please you, so don't attempt to force her into something that will create a life long argument between you both.''
'' That is what I am going to change.'' He growled.
Uria had been listening to everything: '' Boys, I think you need to calm yourself: first you must bring our Lyna back. Then you can discuss about the situation. Now, eat your lunch.''
The males glared at each other some more before continuing their meal.

*Lyna POV, a week after Kiba's arrival.*
''…You're breaking my heart, my house pet.''
She sighed and shook her head: '' I know Kiba; but I do this thinking of you. You will be in so much trouble and Hor'jin too if you get caught with me. ''
The pair was standing in front of Hor'jin's hunting ship. The honorable hunter was waiting on the footbridge of the ship while her uncle and Leonard were behind her at a respectful distance.
The teenager grabbed his hand and held it tight in her own: '' Kiba; I was wrong about you. I have judged you and I have been arrogant with you… I- I wish I could go with you now. I like you a lot. You have my affection, you know.'' She said looking away.
The tall man drew her chin up, gently: '' I knew you couldn't resist me.'' He joked with a sad voice.
The hunting partner turned away and his master came toward her. Lyna lightly bowed to him:
'' Honorable Hunter Hor'jin, I am grateful you've let him come to me. I greatly enjoyed his company this week; I needed it.''
The yautja chuckled: '' It's me who should be grateful: I would have welcome you in our home, but stealing and hiding my best friend's mate was a bit too much for me. An Arbitrator at that. ''
The girl smiled: '' It's the reason why I refused. You take care of him for me please, Hor'jin.''
He ruffled her hair: '' I will.''
As she walked toward her grimacing uncle, she heard Kiba shout after her and just had the time to turn and see him a mere inches from her.
The male pulled her to him and she didn't even see his next move coming that his lips were upon hers.
Too surprised to struggle, the girl let him kiss her until she had no more breathe. She had never kissed a human before.
Kiba released her and smirked cockily: '' Now I can die without any regrets. Go my cute pet and be safe.''
She rolled her eyes and went to her uncle, who placed a protective arm over her shoulders all the while glaring at Kiba's retreating back.

*three days later*
''… I miss him already. '' She said from where she sat in her uncle's room.
Christopher scoffed: '' I do not miss him: it was time this wild caveman leave us.'' He said not removing his eyes from the papers in front of him.
The teenager rolled her eyes: '' I don't understand why you two didn't get along well. ''
'' First, he didn't speak English, second; he was way too much touching you and he had no manners at all! This Kiba is too old for you!''
The girl pondered on this for a while before saying:
'' I didn't like him at the beginning, because he chased me just to mate. We fought and he lost because he wouldn't injure me. After, he came to my home because his master was invited and threatened me again. He bullied me all evening and annoyed me. But when I was punished and was forbidden to leave my home or receive any visitor, he was the only one to come. Kiba played with me and he got me outside, he entertained me and we sparred. I would have gone crazy without him.'' She explained.
Leonard, who had been silent, spoke: '' You were punished? ''
She nodded: '' Yeah… I had disobeyed Dena'ee and he was mad at me. ''
'' What did you do?'' her uncle asked.
She shrugged: '' for a week, I went away from home in another town to see my brother. The Arbitrator had told me I couldn't, but I went anyway. I was missing Ari'dan too much.''
'' He wouldn't let you see your brother? The one who is also his little brother? ''
'' Yes. He was jealous of him. He still is; but he just don't understand that Ari is my best friend.''
Leonard nodded: '' I see.''
'' When is your…erm, brother coming here? '' demanded Christopher.
'' I don't know; soon I hope! I can't wait to see him!'' She said excitedly.
The man didn't appear to be convinced about this visit.
'' How is your brother? '' The erudite asked.
Lyna beamed: '' Exactly like you! ''
Both men cocked their heads: '' What do you mean? '' '' Are you comparing me to a yautja?!''
'' It's true! He's slender and smaller than most yautjas and he's an intellectual! Always reading some books. He hates fighting and killing and he's currently studying at the Academy to be a healer; you call them 'doctors' here. My brother has a gentle nature…''
Leonard was suddenly interested: '' Really? Like he and I could get along and discuss science and stuff? ''
She nodded: '' there is no one who could match you better than him! He always said he prefers humans to yautjas. When we were kids, we were bullied by the others yautja pups… They laughed at him for being what he was.''
The scientist sighed nostalgically as if remembering some passed memories: '' Ha yes… The ones who can never hope to understand sciences… Then I am eager to meet your friend Lyna.''
She saw Christopher rolled his eyes.

*Two days later, Leonard POV*
He was walking idly in the streets; today he had to watch Lyna. He sighed; she wasn't a kid anymore, he didn't understand why he had to keep an eye on her. The girl didn't know he was there: she would hunt him again if she was aware of his presence.
Well, Christopher's orders.
He was looking at a yautja establishment when he heard Lyna shriek. Alerted, he quickly began to jog toward the sound.
Once more he heard her, the scientist slowed down: the teenager was not screaming out of fear. Leonard could her shrieks of delight and her laughs.
He raised a brow, wondering what was going on and continued to jog. However, when he arrived there he stopped abruptly.
He hadn't been ready for this.
A grey blueish yautja had captured her in his arms; his teeth were in her hair and his mandibles were around her entire head as if he was trying to devour her head.
Leonard fainted.
