A/N: *Sighs* I would like to take a moment to remember one of my favorite fics … Kenju-shin can relate to what I mean. It was called "Tale of Two Sisters" and it was co-written by Mouser and Chichirui. Now it is gone, deleted. And I had waited MONTHS on the new chapter. *sighs again* that's what you get for being a devoted reader … I don't think I'll post anymore … this is the last chapter till' I'm convinced otherwise. Well, if it's any assurance TGA didn't have much to go anyway … the pairings are rreeaaalllllly rushed now. This one's for Kay Noel, Thundersenshi17, Shadow Kat, and Ry … my dad too.

Chapter 26: "Oops, I did it Again …"
There were only two days left till war against Basrahm. Time on Gaea goes a lot faster then on Earth and people had gotten to know each other a lot better. Kiran had been standing in a hallway looking out a window. She was really worried about her family when Chesta was walking by. He was carrying a pile of towels so high he couldn't see over them and literally ran into Kiran. Both of them fell over along with the pile of towels.
"I'm sorry," he stuttered and they both started laughing and picking up the towels.
Chesta smiled warmly, "you look worried … you alright?"
Kiran sighed "I'm kinda worried about my family" she admitted.
"Oh," he hesitantly put around her shoulder "I'm sure they miss you very much."
"Mmmmmmmmm," she leaned her head on his shoulder "you know … you're very sweet, Chesta …"
Chesta's face went red as he gently hugged Kiran. And soon after they admitted there feelings … ISN'T THAT SWEET?! … LOL!!!
Also, Gatti and Kenju were both very fond of each other but were too stubborn to admit anything and Viole was dying over Shay but she kept playing with him …
Chichirui, unbeknownst to anyone, had been playing the matchmaker. During sparring she'd throw in a thing or two about Victoria to Dallet and even trip a few people's partners … she kinda helped Gatti, Chesta, Dallet, and Viole along, eh? LOL! (Sorry, I'm hhyyyppppeer!) Miguel had made a ton of new friends but he wasn't officially in a relationship … he had always been the serious one …
Dilandau was sick to his stomach. He wished he'd never let females on the Vione. They were a distraction to his soldiers. Guimel was a prime example of that … and he hadn't even been killed for it! Then again, Ry couldn't be happier … he was the captain of an army of beautiful women.
By now everyone was a skilled swordsman … Kiran and Kit even took up archery! This left Madina to spar with Miguel and Chesta tried learning to throw daggers.
"Hey, watch out!" warned Madina "you're about to run into Kit!!!"
Miguel abruptly stopped and turned around and Madina tackled him. She snorted and laughed about how easily tricked he was.
Suddenly they went quiet, and just lay there … looking at each other.
"You know," said Miguel "I've never noticed your eyes … they're Hazel … like Kit's … but they're strange~ like snake skin …"
"Mmmmmm, yah …" Madina said getting up and blushing again with out being noticed.
About an hour later Dilandau came in and decided to catch one of his slayers un-aware. He crept in the shadows, drew his sword, and charged Dallet. Victoria, acting on instincts, didn't even take the time to look who it was … she was too far away to make it in-time so …
"FIRE … BALLLLL!!!" she screamed and held her hands out.
Dilandau stopped mid-step and the fireball went right past him and dissolved before getting to the other side. Everything went quiet and all eyes turned to Victoria.
"I-I-I … er … heh, heh" Victoria stuttered.
Three figures emerged from outside the gym and pulled Victoria up.
"Hey, I know you!" she said "you were Doinkork's sorce----"
She got cut off as one of them pulled out a needle and pricked her arm.
"We'll have her back this evening," the tallest one announced "we just need to run some tests."
… and with that they dragged Victoria out and not too long after a ship carrying Doinkork's 3 sorcerers and Victoria flew off to run some tests.
The Vione was buzzing with rumors and talk about the incident.
"Yah, I know … she just threw a fireball at Lord Dilandau!"
"She must have had a flamethrower …"
"I don't know … why would those guys take her then?"
"I heard they were Doinkork's sorcerers …"
"Nah~"
Dilandau sat in his chambers sipping some of his wine.
"She must be a witch or something," he thought "but then again … she did come from the Mystic Moon."
Dilandau couldn't help but think that being able to shoot a fire ball was really cool though.
Well, soon the day was over and everyone but a few who couldn't rest were asleep. Guimel sat alone on the bleachers in the Slayers' Gym thinking. Deep in thought he didn't notice Victoria come in and take a seat.
"Hey." she said.
"Oh, hey … what happened earlier?" Guimel asked.
"I'm sorry," Victoria sighed "since the day I came I was able to use spells … but, I thought it would en-danger everyone so I kept it a secret."
It took Guimel a minute but he ended up understanding it all.
"So what spells can you cast?"
"Well," Victoria said "I can't cast spells anymore … but, I used to do a few attack spells and a healing and light one … see?"
Victoria held out her hand and shouted numerous spells … nothing happened.
Guimel looked down and twiddled his thumbs. "There's still one spell you've been able to do …"
Victoria looked up confused.
Guimel put his hands on her shoulders.
"You've still got a spell over my heart." Guimel whispered and leaned over and kissed Victoria.
Victoria was shocked for a second and then nudged him off.
"Come on, Guimel … don't you think this is too soon … after what happened last time …?"
Guimel's eyes glazed over.
"Come on Victoria, what have you been playing at all this time then? I know that it scared you at first but you want me."
Victoria: oO;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; "Uhm …" *Blink*
Guimel tried it again … a little more forcefully, and Victoria got him off again … even more forcefully. This made him mad.
He got this look in his eyes that just read 'what don't you get?!' … soon he was crazed and it was just like the time before … Victoria couldn't do magic and her sword wasn't with her because she just came back form the tests. She screamed for help but no one was around. Guimel bit down on her lip, it drew blood. She whimpered. Folken was in Fanelia … who would help her?! Suddenly clanging of footsteps and a draw of a sword was heard. Guimel looked up and saw none other then Captain Ry.
"I never liked you anyway …" Guimel declared, as he stood up and grabbed his sword.
The two rushed at each other, their swords met in mid air, and curled around, then met again underhanded. They were locked in combat, their swords twirled about. Sweat glimmered on Ry's brow. Guimel had been training. No doubt to impress Victoria, who was shivering in the corner.
The first to draw blood was Ry, Guimel caught him open on one side, and swung his blade into Ry's ribs. The wound wasn't deep, but it almost threw Ry down. The blades met again, and again, and finally Ry got a hit on Guimel's arm, and nearly cut it off. It was enough to make Guimel drop his sword. Ry quickly stepped on it with his foot, just as Guimel bent down to get it. He flipped it into the air using his foot, and caught it with his free hand. He thrust the two swords to opposite sides of the room, and put up his fists. Guimel wiped blood from his chin, and drew his hands up as well. Punches flew on both sides, but they were always blocked or dodged. Finally Guimel jumped back and drew his dagger.
Guimel charged Ry. Ry grabbed Guimel's arm, twisted it back, disarmed him, threw the knife down, and within seconds Guimel was on his stomach on the ground. He squirmed to turn over … meanwhile Ry grabbed some rope off of the wall. He approached Guimel, who was too sore to stand up, and tied his hands and feet together. Then, Ry turned to Victoria. He cared nothing about Guimel for the time being, he was only concerned about Victoria being alright.
She looked a bit shaken but okay.
"I'm fine," she breathed.
Ry sighed with relief, and he instantly found her arms around him. She was still shaking.
He turned from her, his gaze was brought back to Guimel. He grabbed his sword and thrust it downward into the floor right next to Guimel's head.
"I'll bet you really don't like me now." he muttered.
Guimel looked away, he was in too much shame.
"You just don't get it Guimel," Ry sighed, "You just don't understand women."
With that he left him, and escorted Victoria back to her room. When she had finally calmed down, and got to sleep, he left her. He went back to the gym and grabbed Guimel by the collar. Guimel landed roughly on his back in the dungeon and Ry slammed the dungeon-door shut.
"Here," he motioned to Philip "get rid of him."
Ry finally made his way back to his room, but he didn't sleep. He walked out on his balcony and looked at the stars. He sighed, and he heard someone below him sigh. He leaned over the edge and looked … it was Victoria. Heh … his balcony was right above hers.
2nd A/N: *Sigh* Guimel will never learn … but, thanks to Ry he's finally getting his punishment. *Sighs* Hey … but you got to see some of the pairings … HEHEHEHE!!! ^_^ Surprised Dallet wasn't roaming the hallways? And Victoria's powers are gone now! Well, sadly a ton of my favorite authors are quitting and (as I've mentioned) 'Tale of Two Sisters' is gone … *sob* … so why doesn't TGA go along with them? Well, feel free to E-mail me … TGA only had a few more chaps to go anyway … Ja! ~CrimsonFire
