Duo was seen wandering around in the woods, sword in his hands. He looked from his left to his right, wondering where the French knight was hiding. He was caught off guard as he felt cool steel across his throat.

"You're open, Duo," Trowa said, coolly. Duo froze to avoid being killed. Trowa moved his sword away from the British knight's throat and smirked. "Let's try that again. Just try harder this time, Duo."

Wufei and Kyte just glared at each other from across the room. Kyte's eyes were narrowed in defiance while Wufei just looked back at her with a blank look on his face.

"So you're not letting me leave," she asked, making a noise of disgust.

"No," he said, growling back at her.

"You know I have a mission. I had to deliver a message to the owner of Sliver Eye castle. And now I'm late because of you guys."

"This is Silver Eye castle." Kyte's eyes opened wide. "And Quatre is the owner." Her jaw dropped as she stared at him in disbelief. He smirked and crossed the room to close her mouth.

"That means that Cye did this on purpose."

"What was the message?"

"The eternal phoenix will rise again to burn into the night." Wufei couldn't help but chuckle. And that led into a laugh. That led into a full, belly laugh. This made Kyte so mad, that she tackled him, sending him to the ground. She climbed off of him and glared down. "WHAT'S SO FUNNY!?"

"You're the phoenix." He laughed harder. "And the message means. . . That you're coming back to us."

Serenity nuzzled into Quatre's chest, but noticed that he wasn't paying attention to her.

"What's the matter," she asked, propping herself up on an elbow.

"Cye sent her hawk to give me a message," Quatre answered.

"And?"

"It was about Kyte. The message said that "The eternal phoenix will rise again to burn into the night."

"So?"

"Kyte's here to stay."

****

"She tricked me."

****

Duo tromped into the castle, scratches all over him. Trowa followed, without a single mark. Only he knew that a stray wolf had followed them into the castle. As Zach came down the stairs, he was tackled by a midnight black wolf. He screamed in the way that only he could, drawing attention to the scene from the knights all over the castle.

****

"She's what?"

****

Kyte's ears perked as she heard a scream she knew all too well.

'Zach,' she thought, pushing past Wufei, grabbing her sword from the floor and running out of the room.

"Wait," Wufei yelled after her before giving chase.

****

A figure in black and red was seen jumping over the banister to land with light steps on the ground floor, right in front of Zachary and the wolf. Zach was still screaming although the wolf simply stood above him, staring at Kyte. The wolf wagged it's tail and Kyte looked at it, noticing its semi-ticked ear. That one ear flopped over at the tip and brought memories flooding back to her. She dropped her sword and stepped forward, pressing a hand to the wolf's head. The wolf leaned its head up and licked her hand before stepping off of Zach and nuzzling her leg.

****

"What was that?"

"I don't know."

"Why don't you go check?"

"Why does the knight always have to do everything?"

"Because the knight knows how to wield a sword." Quatre put his clothes back on and left the room, going downstairs and seeing Zach sitting on the ground, dazed and confused as Kyte pet the wolf beside her. Quatre sighed and went back upstairs.

"It was just a wolf."

"Oh."
