Well this is the third chapter of my story, hope you like it please review! Tanky!~cerulean

While Merlena prepared a light dinner for the children they waited in the less formal dinning hall, which fits less, but they really only had a small amount of people so it was award eating in a huge hall.

Ryu looked over at Kira, and motioned for her to meet him in the hall. Finally he caught her eyes but instead of getting up she shot quick glances at asuka. Ryu knew what she meant and quickly at back down. The truth was that Kira, Ryu and Relena knew what was going on. Well not about the new attack but they knew about the witch and their destiny. They were the neo knights, and Asuka want one. So Ryu decided to keep his mouth shut until he could talk to Kira and Relena in privet.

Kira glanced at Asuka, he was looking around blankly and had no clue what saw going on. Kira started to pity him, because she, Ryu and Relena weren't suppose to know either. She started to remember the night they learned their fate, it was about a year ago….it was also the night…….

Ryu, Relena and Asuka had snuck into her room and they were going to stay up late and play games, and of course their parents didn't know this. Asuka and Relena had already fallen asleep, much to Kira's and Ryu's disappointment.

"Oh man, I can't believe there asleep already!" whispered Ryu

"Yeah I know! We only played about 10 games and we haven't even snuck down to the kitchen yet to get a snack!" Kira whispered back

"Oh yeah.. wanna go now?" asked Ryu

"Hmmmmm do you think are parents would be asleep yet?" asked Kira

"Yeah, it has to be past 12!" said Ryu taking Kira's hand.

Kira felt warmth out through her body

"Whats this?" she thought

"O-ok lets go then!" said Kira as they walked out of the room and into the silent halls.

The halls where cold and the title made you squirm with every touch. Kira noticed Ryu's over-sized p.j's.

"He's going to trip." She thought, but she didn't say anything.

As they got near the kitchen they heard voices. Ryu turned around and put his fingers on this lips.

"Shhhhhhh…."

Kira nodded and followed. The door was shut tight and they lightly pressed their ears against it to hear how many people, and who- were inside.

"It was what sounded like all their parents and what sounded like a sleepily Guru Clef. Kira and Ryu looked at each other and listened.

"Guru, I think the children are safe, that witch hasn't come back yet, after 9 years!"

It sounded like Ferio

"Well we still shouldn't tell them, I mean, we aren't sure the neo knights are them and it wouldn't be fair to scare them."

It sounded like Hikaru.

Ryu and Kira looked at each other and there eyes widened where they talking about THEM?

Ryu let out a small "epp!"

Kira thought it was about their parent's discussion but when she looked over at him she realized his sleeve was stuck on the doorknob.

"Don't move,…" she whispered. But Ryu getting nervous tried to slowly pull it off the knob and accidentally pulled the door ajar.

They stopped and held their breath.

'OH no!" kira thought

They herd footsteps. She looked at Ryu, his eyes where pleading for help. She quickly unhooked his sleeve and grabbed his hand. Sending the same same sensation, she had from him to his body. They ran across they hall and into another room, leaving the door to the room they were in slightly open. Holding their breath they watched.

They saw Clef open the door and look out tiredly. He looked funny in the dark his hair was darker and he was wearing a funny robe- which they guess must be a sleeping robe. He looked both ways and they closed the door. Ryu and Kira sighed and herd him say "must have been the wind."

They herd chairs moving and guess that they must of all sat back down and started their conversation again.

Kira closed the door to the room they were in all the way. She looked around and realized that they must be in one of the closets. She looked at Ryu he was furiously rolling up his sleeves. She rolled her eyes at him and sighed.

"You are too funny." She said

Ryu looked at her blankly

"You owe me." She said

Ryu rolled his eyes

"What do ya want?" he asked

Kira thought for a second.

"Why did I feel so happy when we were holding hands?…dear lord do I like him…? O_O" Kira thought

Ryu noticed her turning slightly red on her cheeks as she pondered what she wanted. Then he noticed her shivering. She was wearing a very skimpy nighty and he noticed it was almost see thought." How could girl wear such skimpy things?" he thought

But before he knew what he was doing he went over and put his arms around her.

She slightly jumped in surprise but then leaned contentedly against him. They sat there for a few moments till he noticed her shivers stopping.

"T-thank-you" she said realizing what he was doing.

He smiled at her

"Your welcome.. Now what do you want?"

She laughed

"Ummm nothing at the moment..can I tell you later?"

"Sure." Ryu said "but lets get back to bed, we can tell Relena in the morning."

Then Kira remembered "Neo knights…" she thought "Weird."

Ryu stood up and took her hand; they opened the door and started walking back to Kira's room. They didn't get a snack but they where happy.

After his Kira and Ryu had a special bond-it wasn't love but they were more than friends. Relena and Asuka always teased at this but Kira and Ryu always Denied everything even thought they knew they where lying.

Kira realized she was staring at her food, she looked up and everyone was eating.

"Dear lord how long was I spacing?" she thought

She laughed as she picked up her fork and started to eat.
