Another chapter typed up. Sorry it took so long! It's sad that the only time I actually update is when I'm trying to avoid studying for exams *sigh* oh well.
Chapter 11
In the infirmary an hour later, Jenn sat in an overly stuffed chair as a nurse bandaged her wrist. The piece of cloth that Dilandau had given to her earlier was safely in her pocket.
"Hurt on your first day? You should be more careful, r you'll be seeing me more often." The nurse moved over to the table. "There you go. You'll be ok, just as long as you doing try and move you wrist too much for a couple of days."
Jenn smiled at her. "Thanks." She said.
As she turned to put on her jacket again, with the nurse's assistance, the door opened to reveal Migel and Chesta.
Chesta rushed over to her chair. "A-are you ok?" he asked, worry coming through in his voice.
Jenn patted his head fondly. "Of course I am! It was just a little scratch. And don'' worry, it wasn't' your fault. I should have been more careful."
Migel came up behind them. "Come on you two. Lights out soon. That's why we came over." He said to Jenn. "We figured you might get lost (1) because you don't know your way around yet. Plus Chesta wanted to see if you were --" Migel didn't finish his sentence because suddenly there was a loud noise coming from the front of the ship, and the ship jolted forward.
"What was that?" Jenn asked panicking.

"There's the floating fortress," Allen said, staring out at the immense structure in front of the Crusade. "We'll rush the ship and attack. Take no prisoners."
"Except Jenn!" DJ said. "You can't kill her! I might finally get my sweatshirt back…and maybe my CD's…ok no, you can't kill her!" Then something occurred to her. "Oh, and if isn't to much trouble, can you take Dilandau and his dragonslayers as hostages?" At everyone's looks she added. "For future…bargaining?" She put on her puppy-dog face. "Please?"
Allen raised an eyebrow but didn't comment.
Van smiled at her. "I'll find Jenn and bring her back."
"Thanks Van!" DJ said, beaming.
"Hold on the something everyone, we're landing." Allen said, grabbing the railing as the ship lurched. Not having enough time to react, DJ and Van landed in a heap on the floor.
"Thanks for the warning." She said sarcastically, peeling herself away from Van.
"Now men, lets board. DJ, you stay here." Allen said, ignoring her. As the crew began to board the ship, DJ sulked in a corner. As she watched the last person get off, her lips turned up in an evil smirk and she ran across the plank.

Folken and Dilandau were walking down the hallway, towards the infirmary.
"So Dilandau, why DO you care so much for this girl?" Folken asked his counterpart. Dilandau growled in annoyance.
For the last time, I don't know! It's just something about her eyes, or personality, or just HER! I just." he trailed off, thinking. He stopped in his tracks, suddenly. "Oh shit." He said, his eyes growing wide.
Folken merely raised an eyebrow.
"I-I think I might be in love with Jenn!"
Folken gave him half of a smile. "Well, it did take you long enough to realize that, now didn't it?" He turned around and continued to walk down the hall. This snapped Dilandau out of his daze. He jogged to keep up with Folken.
"What do you mean?" he asked suspiciously.
Folken turned his head towards the younger boy, but didn't slow his pace. "It was evident when you looked at you two in --" A jolt to the ship knocked them both into the wall.
"What was that?" he asked Dilandau, who was ignoring him. All he did was run down the hall, heading straight for the infirmary.

"What do you want to do with them?" Van asked as he shoved the last Zaibach solider away from him.
"Tie them up and take them with us." Allen said, gesturing to the group of Dragonslayers on the ground.
"We have to look for Jenn." Van said suddenly.
Allen looked up. "What?"
"We have to look for Jenn" Van repeated. "I promised Dj that I would bring Jenn back." He blushed.
Allen leaned on his sword, raising an eyebrow. "You really love her, don't you?"
Van gave a half smile and closed his eyes. "I-I think so."
"Well then, we'll have to get you back to her, now won't we? Come on, let's go find this Jennifer person for Dj." He took off with Van hot on his heals.

"What the hell?" Jenn yelled, panicking. "What's happening?"
Miguel and Chesta drew their swords and pushed her behind them. The nurse, now forgotten, was huddled in a corner, trying not to be seen.
"Don't worry" Miguel said to Jenn. "We won't let anything happen to you."
"Yeah, Lord Dilandau would ki-"
Just then the door burst open. Miguel and Chesta rose their swords to kill whoever had entered, but quickly put them down when realizing who it was.
"L-lord Dilandau, Lord Folken!"
Dilandau ignored this and went straight to Jenn's side.
"Are you ok?" At her nod he quickly lifted her up into his arms with a squeak from Jenn. He walked over to the door, Miguel and Chesta following him. "We have to get out of here. We're under attack!"
"It's too late to escape now." Said a new voice in the doorway.
