Disclaimer: Have there actually BEEN lawsuits over these things?
^*^AN^*^ Question, should Lana end up with Kami, Joses or Schola? I already have the next few chapters written, but I need to know who you think Lana should end up with in case I need to make a few little changes.
Warnings: None that I can think of, a little fight between Marisa and Lana though
Chapter 11
Lana sighed, looking in the water of the brook she had landed near when she had first been transported to this world. This had become a place she often went to to relax or think. "Geez, I can't believe I fell for that. Promising I'll think about it is almost as bad as telling Allelu flat out I'd marry her brother. And Kami, grr, he's just rubbing it in. Man, what am I gonna DO?!" Lana sighed, and ran the hand on the uninjured arm through her hair again. Lana looked at her reflection, seeing her flushed face, and cupped some water in her hands, splashing her face with it.
Schola opened his eyes, and said, "I found her. She's near a brook, no da, so we'll use the water as sort of a window." Marisa nodded, though having no idea what he meant. Schola leaned over the edge of the pond, and murmured an incantation. Suddenly Marisa could see Lana in the water, though her friend seemed troubled. Marisa gulped as she looked at her friend. Her hair was longer than the last time Marisa had seen her, and she was wearing strange clothes. They looked like a man's tunic and pants, and Lana had a headband holding her hair away from her face. Marisa also noticed she had a sword strapped to her back, and a medallion around her neck. Lana's arm was out of view though, so Marisa had no idea Lana had been injured. Schola was also looking at Lana. He could feel his mouth going dry. "Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to bring her into view again." He thought weakly. She had stitched her tunic up with some tan thread that matched her shirt, and looked a little confused. "Lana!" Marisa cried out, and Schola saw Lana look around, before looking at the water closely, and jumping. "MARISA!?" she yelled.
Lana looked at the water in shock. Marisa was there! But that was impossible! "Yeah Lana, it's me." Marisa told her with a smirk. Check that. It WAS possible. "What the heck's going on?!" Lana exclaimed, completely confused. "Lana, I'M in this world too. A friend who has some magic abilities let me see you." Lana gasped, and said, "You're HERE!? Where are you?!" Marisa looked at her, tears in her eyes, and said, "Lana, I'm so sorry. I'm at the palace in Konan. They made me Suzaku no Miko. I can't come get you."
"Would one of you be a dear and get some water for the horses for me? There's a brook nearby." Serena asked Joses and Kami, holding out a bucket. "Awww, Mom." Kami complained, and Joses took the bucket, saying, "I'll get it, Serena-san. Where is the brook?" "Please call me Serena. And just follow the path behind the house." Serena told him with a smile. Joses nodded, and walked out. Joses came to the brook, and heard Lana talking to someone there. "You're HERE?! Where are you?!" he heard he exclaim. Joses quietly crept up on her, but saw no one else. Then he looked at the water like Lana was doing, and got a shock. Someone was looking back at Lana through the water! "Lana, I'm so sorry. I'm at the palace in Konan. They made me Suzaku no Miko. I can't come get you." the person replied, and Joses came up, looking over Lana's shoulder, and asked, "What's going on?"
Lana yelled in surprise, and whipped around, seeing Joses inches from her face. "Who is THAT?" Marisa asked, and Lana saw her friend get hearts in her eyes and almost start drooling. Joses looked at her, and smirked, saying, "Hey babe. What's your name?" "Hey NO! You are NOT going to flirt with my BESTFRIEND. Good grief, she does NOT need YOU hitting on her." Lana snapped, looking annoyed. "What, jealous, Lan-chan?" Joses asked her, grinning. Lana snorted, and said, "As if. And don't call me that. I just don't think a BANDIT who almost ROBBED me would make the best boyfriend for Marisa-chan." "He WHAT, no da!?"
Schola had told himself he would not talk, but he couldn't help himself when another man came up and started flirting with Suzaku no Miko and Lana, and Lana made that little comment about him being a bandit. "Uh oh, no da." He thought, when Lana gasped at his voice, and looked directly at him, saying, "YOU'RE the one who warned me earlier!" "Um, hai. I'm Schola." he told her, blushing furiously. Lana smiled at him warmly, and said, "Arigato, Schola." Schola blushed even darker, and Marisa giggled, before going serious, and saying, "Lana, I have to gather the seven celestial warriors before I can come get you, can you wait?" Schola sighed inwardly. He had decided not to tell anyone Lana was a seishi, they needed to find out on their own, it would help them prepare for any trouble they would face. It'd also teach Sodom that sometimes a little kindness would be greatly rewarded. "Hai. I can wait.... Marisa-chan." Lana said softly, looking away. Marisa bit her lip, and said, "Lana-chan, I accidentally forgot about you when I first told them I'd become the priestess, but I have to take responsibility, you understand don't you?" "It's fine. I've waited for months already, a little longer won't matter." Lana told her, standing up and turning away. "Lana-chan..." Marisa begged but trailed off, eyes widening in horror when she saw Lana's arm bandaged from the wrist to the elbow. "I'm going back to the house Joses, see you later." Lana said, and walked away.
Joses sighed, and ran a hand through his blue hair, turning to Marisa and Schola, shrugging, and saying, "Sorry about that. Lana's had a rough time today. She fought some guys earlier and got hurt. She's also probably a little aggravated about Allelu-chan trying to get her to marry her older brother." Marisa stared at him, and said, "Her older brother?" Joses rolled his eyes, and said, "Allelu's gotten real attached to Lana, and wants her to marry Kami, her older brother and a fellow bandit, so she'll have a sister. Allelu actually tricked Lana into promising her she'd think about it too. Poor Lana's probably feeling like she's got no choice. It just wasn't that great of a day to tell her she'd been forgotten." Marisa looked at her hands, tears forming in her eyes, and said, "I can't believe so much has happened to Lana. I should have gotten here earlier!" "It's not your fault, babe." Joses told her, shaking his head and grinning. He looked at Marisa and winked, causing her to blush and look a little happier. "Anyway, I need to get back to, see you later!" He told Schola and Marisa, waving, dipping the bucket in the water, and then walking back down the path.
Schola watched the image in the pond fade, and let out a breath. "She should not be forced to marry." he thought, shaking his head. "At least not until you've had YOUR chance, right?" the teasing voice in his head said, and Schola blushed. Marisa suddenly let out a squeal, and exclaimed, "He called me 'BABE'! My lord, wasn't he ADORABLE?" Schola sweatdropped, and said, "If you say so, na no da."
Lana flopped down on her bed on her stomach. "I guess I should be glad I saw Marisa, but so much has happened, and Marisa didn't even remember me." Lana said to herself, sighing. "Lan-chan? You in here?" Allelu asked, poking her head in the door. "Yeah Allelu-chan. What is it?" Lana said, looking at her with a smile. Allelu never forgot Lana, she was always there when Lana needed someone to talk to, or even just a hug. Allelu smiled, and came in, hiding something behind her back, eyes sparkling. "What have you got, Allelu?" Lana said with a grin, getting up and taking the sword off her back, setting it across her pillow. "I made this for you, Lan-chan!" Allelu cried happily, running up to Lana, and holding something out to her. It was a necklace, it had a leather strap that would go around her neck, and at the end was an eagle's feather with several pretty beads at the sides. "Allelu! It's wonderful!" Lana cried, hugging the girl, and slipping the necklace around her neck. It came to about six inches below her neck, and gave her a 'nature girl' look. "Put it under your shirt so the feather doesn't get hurt." Allelu advised, and Lana nodded, tucking it under her tunic, before giving her another hug, and saying, "It's getting late, want to go out and watch the fireflies before I put you to bed?" Allelu nodded, and skipped out the door, holding Lana's hand.
