Ok this one will be the Umi chapter! Well that's all. Ja ne!



Umi looked up and saw a black haired head with a red streak going through the bangs, the young man that had run into her was only about an inch taller then her.

"sorry."

He said quickly scrambling up and shooting off, but was caught by another man coming out of the gate, he had light green hair that was cropped short except for a lock of it in the back.

"Rath. You know you're not supposed to go outside the palace grounds and you are not allowed to hunt demons."

He said, gripping the collar of Rath's shirt. He notice Umi suddenly, after chiding the young man.

"Are you hurt miss?" he asked, offering a hand to her. "I'm dragon officer Alfeegi, please excuse Rath, he can get a little over Zealous at times."

"c'mon can you at least bring one into the castle for me to kill, huh please, it was cool when that one came in the other day." Rath was now standing next to them as Alfeegi helped Umi up, complaining.

"no, Rath." Alfeegi sighed. "you know your not allowed to and if you step outside the palace grounds again I wont get you your new sword."

Umi was still a bit confused but decided to ask where she was.

"Excuse me." She started. "but I don't know where I am or how exactly I got here."

Alfeegi, turned from having an argument with Rath.

"well, let me invite you into the castle, maybe the lord could help you, though currently we don't know where he's gone to, so you might have to wait a while." He told her.

"uh, sure thank you." Umi accepted the offer, why not she had nothing better to do.

*~*~*~*~*

Umi was sitting on the edge of a porch, staring out into space when she was nearly startled out of her wits by someone talking to her.

"Hi, sorry about running into you earlier." 'Why did Alfeegi make me apologize again?' Rath said and thought.

"wellyou should have been watching where you were running." Umi snapped, not happy about being brought out of her dreamworld, especially by him.

"gah, I was just trying to be nice." Rath said and walked off. "I swear, you're worse then Cesia."

*~*~*~* Ok so these chapters are going to be short...but I'll post regularly, if I get regular reviews, if nobody reads it then what's the point in writing?
