A Simple Tale... Part IV- The Healer Girl

Rei smirked, crosses her arms at The Red head in front of her, "Yes Tikvah, we are together, amazing is it not?" Glances back at the other in the group as they gather quietly around them. "We have to be, we've-"

"Called a truce." Minako said with a nod before another child ran hugging her leg fiercely.

"Aunt Minako! You're back!" This time it was a little girl, with the same strawberry blonde hair as Ryan.

"Leona! Be good, you Aunt is not the only one who's here. Minako, Rei?" Tikvah raised a stern questioning eyebrow at the fact of her home being invaded.

Minako looked up from the little girl, "We're on a...a quest I would think it could be called..."

"We're after Dorothy." Rei cut in quickly.

Tikvah's eyes widened and she took a step back, to bang into a tall blonde man who caught her quickly, steadying her.

"Thank you love..." Tikvah mutter as the others from the town started muttering and mumbling hushed about Dorothy.

Quatre nudged Trowa quickly, "Do they all know her?" Trowa shrugged lightly, noting the tension in the town people at just the mention of Dorothy's name.

Minako smiled quickly at Tikvah, "Sister," The word seem as if Minako was trying to calm Tikvah, "Her highness, Princess Serenity is with us, as is her betrothed, Prince Hiiro." As soon as Minako's words were spoke the adults of the audience hushed, and after a moment gave a forced and jerky bow, as the little boys seemed not to care but were more intrigued in swords at the knights' waists, while the little girls giggled and seemed pleased to have a real princess in their town.

"We needed somewhere to eat at out of the cold wind." Rei added hastily, And Tikvah suddenly nodded, seeming relieved.

"Of course, and you must stay the night, We all insist." The tall blonde man behind Tikvah nodded sharply after saying as the adults, as if on cue, all started to nod and agree.

Tikvah turned quickly taking charge of the town before anyone could complain., "Duet!" A short brown haired woman stepped forward, "If you'll show Her highness and the other Lady to one of the guest houses, and "Thomas, if you'll show the men and His Highness to another." A blonde male grinned and nodded, motioning for them to come with him, as did Duet with the females. "Also, Shin, Aqua, Falcon, go bring in their horses! Jianna, Evan, Terry, Help them with the packs! Move it!" The younger ones took off over the bridge toward the outer edge of the willows. "Rei, Minako you two know where to stay-" Tikvah shook her head as she turned to talk to them, Rei had already disappeared off towards a house in the far part of the town, and Minako was kneeling on the ground talking to some of the other children who were all eager to show her what they had learned since the last time she visited.

"Minako..." Tikvah walked to her and kneeled, "I too have a problem.there is a child..."

Minako looked up, quickly waving a hand at the children who had gathered around her, "A child? You've just fine with children, I mean look at Leona and Ryan, both growing fine I must say, I am one proud aunt-"

"Minako, she needs training."

"She what? Haven't you worked with her? I mean Tikvah you could have gone with me to be trained more...but you were the one who didn't want to leave your beloved Ryanne." Minako chuckled and shifted to stand, watching her sister carefully.

"I have tried, she much stronger at healing then I. I can teach her no more." Tikvah said, her blue eyes closing as she waved a hand in front of her face slowly, "I told her that next time the two of us spoke I would make sure you saw her, but currently I think Dorothy is more important."

"Of course she is, you know what she's after correct?" Minako said

"Yes, Dorothy is very.predictable." Tikvah said sighing, clasping her hands together and beginning to walk towards the river that circled the town.

Minako stood, her chemise shifting with her movements, "Dorothy is not only predictable, but she's stupid, we always won against her."

"I felt she's gotten stronger.and it's through a dark power." Tikvah said, her feet making light prints as the two circled the town.

"Which, may I remind you is why He refused to train her, He saw it. And he would only take the two of us.and I accepted." Minako flicked her head back, her hair sticking to her neck, the warm air from the river water caused her body to be covered in a light, but comfortably warm sweat.

"I know, I know, I was there." She waved her hand lightly and turned from the water, heading for a house, "Do you remember a small little child, dark straight hair, eyes like Rei's when you left?"

Minako's forehead wrinkled in thought, "I think, a quiet thing? Clung to her father often?"

"Yes. Her, she's the one, here" She walked to the front door, knocking, "It's Tikvah, may I come in?"

"Yes." The voice was small and sheepish.

Minako caught Tikvah's arm as she moved to open the door, "Age?"

"She's 13 winters."

"And stronger the you? You're a magnificent healer though!" Minako said her eyes widening.

"I know." Tikvah said opening the door, her face smiling as she walked in, "Ah Minako, this is Hotaru Tomoe, Hotaru, this is my sister Minako, she's to train you."

Minako's eyes widened again, and she jerked Tikvah close to her, "I did not agree to that!" She hissed, her tone laced with magic, knowing Tikvah would be the only person to be able to hear her.

Tikvah smiled, "You want my help with Dorothy? I do know what I've read in the fires.the same fires see glazes into." She replied, her smile cocky as she used the same spell.

"You little." Minako replied, her voice clear to the confused little girl sitting before the two women.

"Now, now, Minako let's not use words like those in front of you're new student."
