Kirei stood, her back to the wall and her eyes on the floor. A tear rolled
down her cheek and she wiped it away furiously as she choked back a sob.
"Chesta... I dont know what to do" She whimpered as she slowly slid into a
sitting position. She drew her legs up to her chest and wrapped her arms
around them as if to sheild her pretty face from any prying eyes.
"Kirei?"
A voice. Soft, gentle and feminen in an utterly masculine way. 'Chesta!?' She thought suddenly, as it did sound much like him. Kireis heart jumped and she caught her breath quickly before looking up into the concerned green eyes of Guimel. She felt her happiness melt away as quickly as it had appeared, and she replied to her friend in a voice that told of her disapointment. "Yes Guimel?"
"You didnt come to snack out with us... whats wrong?" He asked as he stepped into the room. Guimel wrung his hands together, in a nervous manner, and Kireis ears perked up at the quiet sound of his fingers brushing together.
She shook her head, her hair falling accross her cheeks. "Nothings wrong. Im fine Guimel." She paused for a moment and cocked her head to the side. "What might be wrong with you though? If I may ask..." Her eyes quickly found their way from matching his gaze, to the floor again.
Guimel sighed and walked over to a chair and more collapsed than sat in it. "Im supposed to give you a message from Chesta..." He muttered.
"Really!?" Kirei cried happily. She bolted to her feet and had thrown herself in front of Guimel before he could even utter a word. She put her hands on his knees and looked up into his downturned face with eager cheerfullness. "Please Guimel! What did Chesta say!?" Her tail flicked back and forth on the wooden floor with obvious exitement. She had even forgotten the long wet streaks along her pink cheeks, her tears felt like a faint memory.
"Uhm...." Guimel muttered. His face flushed and he looked away from her luminous eyes. "He said for me to tell you to do your best. That you can capture Van. He wants me to remind you to try real hard and that a victory is a victory for Zaibach." He mumbled. Kirei blinked, obviously confused.
"Oh..."
"Yeah..."
"Is that all he said, Guimel?"
"Yes."
"Truly?" Kirei asked, her voice pleading. She wished so badly for news from Chesta that was MEANINGFULL. That said he still loved her, and that they wouldnt have to be so appart for much longer.
Guimel stood quickly, glaring down at her. "YES! For the last time! Thats all he said!" He cried.
Kirei fell back on her heels, and looked up at him, thoroughly confused. Suddenly she burst into tears and kneels down in front of Guimel. "Im so sorry my Lord! Im sorry! Please forgive me!" She gasps in beetween sobs. Guimell bends down and puts his hands on her shoulders, pulling her to her knees.
"Please, Kirei, im sorry I yelled at you..." He said. He pulled her close and hugged her, rubbing her back and cooing as he used to coo to his herd. She sniffled and clutched his shoulders like he was a liferaft and she a drowining girl. In truth, she felt as though she was drowining. 'Why doesnt Chesta care anymore? Why does Master Dilandau keep confusing me? Can I even help capture Van Fanel?' She thought in anguish. Guimel slowly let go of her and brushed the tears from her cheeks with the back of his hand.She sniffled and bit her lip, looking at him admiringly. "I have to go... sleep tight little kitten." He whispered, his eyes guarded. Kirei nodded and remained sitting on the floor, scrubbing at her cheeks as he stood and walked out the door. She didnt notice his visible effort not to look at her.
He stepped outside and walked down the long hallway. He turned down a few connecting corridors, and then stepped into a dimly lit room.
"So... Guimel... Finished already?" Dilandau purrs from hes seat on a large four poster bed. He lays down the knife he had been cleaning his nails with, and regards Guimel seriously.
Guimel nods, his eyes downcast. "Yes Master. She believed me."
Dilandau frowned. "Wasnt hard?"
The green eyed dragonslayer shook his head, his feathery hair falling forward to hide his eyes. "No sir."
Dilandau smiled, a wicked gleam in his crimson eyes. "That good." He slips off the bed and walks to where Guimel was standing. He tips his chin up and smiles at the obedient boy. "You did well." He murmers as he slowly leans forward, his lips brushing Guimels. He pulls away suddenly and dropped his hand to his side as he stared out the large window beside his bed. He waves Guimel away with a simple "you may go" Then continued to gaze at the early morning veiw outside, lighting matches then flicking them on the carpet when they burned down to the tips of his fingers.

The landscape was all flowing grass, and in the distance a large city could be seen if one bothered to look, but the veiw was not what was in Kireis mind as she ran breathlessly through a large feild and into the first thicket of trees that started a forest of towering trunks. She darted in beetween one tree or anouther, looking back with pure, wild terror in her eyes. She ran so hard and noticed so little around her, that she ran right into a young man, knocking him down.
"Oh I am so sorry!" Kirei cried as she wiped tears from her cheeks and tried to catch her breath. She glanced behind herself and scrambled to her feet. The young man, who was, at closer inspection, nothing more than a boy. He stood quickly and the grey eared cat girl darted behind him and clutched his tunic franticly. "Please my lord! Zaibach! Dont let them get me!" She whimpered as she hid behind his back.
The lithe boy, his hair raven black and his eyes a strange mixture of chestnut brown and tuscan red, twisted sideways to look down at the cowering catgirl. "Zaibach! Where!?" He asked her, imediatly suspicious.
She stuck her arm out and pointed from where she came and where the boy had been headed.
"I dont see anything" He muttered as he sheilded his eyes and peered into the trees.
"I think they all left" A tall man with long blonde hair spoke as he stepped up beside the much shorter youth. He kneeled, facing Kirei. Her tail twitched and she regarded him curiously with her big green eyes. "Whats your name, my dear?" He asked as he held out his hand to her. She stared at it and shrinked behind the boy a bit more. "Dont be frightened. The Zaibach Empire cannot harm you now." He gave her a dazzaling smile, his blue eyes twinkling. "I am Allen Schezar."
She slowly put her slightly furred hand in his gloved one. "Im Kirei..." she whimpered quietly.
The youth she was hiding behind slowly sheathed the sword he had drawn without the catgirl even noticing. He turned around, and Kirei stood up to stand face to face with him, grinning happily. "Im Van." He said, his eyes scanning the trees and sky. Kirei threw her arms around him and hugged him forcefully.
"Oh thank you Van! Thank you so much for saving me!" She cried. He blushed and patted her back, slightly confused, but feeling bad for the catgirl who reminded him a little of his own Merle....
