Chapter 3b – Reunions, Part Two
*~*~*~* Third Person POV:
(In the Kinomoto Kingdom)
"He better not!" Sage was now pacing back and forth through her room.
"Who better not what, mommy?" Rhun had come back from playing with her friends and was now sitting at Sage's dressing mirror.
"Ispep better not show his face around here ever again! If he does, he won't get the pleasure of just being banished to another dimension!"
"Sage!" Diov grabbed her arm, "Calm down! If he comes back, I'm willing to be that everyone will feel the same way! Now calm down! Everyone should be getting here tomorrow morning."
"You mean Kyra will be here morrow?!" Rhun's eyes sparkled as she jumped up and began dancing in circles and singing.
"Oh, Diov." Sage fell into her husband's arms, "How can he return? What if he goes after the children?" She began weeping silently.
"It's going to be all right, Sage." Diov did his best to comfort his wife.
"Why mommy crying, daddy?" Rhun had stopped her dancing and singing.
"Mommy's just worried, dear." Sage pulled away from Diov and held her arms out to her daughter who ran to her.
"Don't worry mommy." Rhun patted her mother on the back, "Everything will be ok."
"See, Sage, even Rhun knows that everything's going to be just fine!" Diov smiled at the two.
Standing up, Sage took hold of Rhun's hand and led her to the door, "Come on, Rhun. Let's get you in the bath."
"Me going to bed early so that when Kyra get here, me be clean and no be tired!" Rhun pulled Sage to her own room, across the hall, and almost jumped into the tub of water in her clothes.
"Just a second Rhun." Sage laughed with her daughter as she undressed her.
Unknown to both in the room, Diov was watching from the doorway, enjoying what he knew to be one of the last happy moments in his life for a while.
*~*~*~* Third Person POV:
(In the Hiiragawza Kingdom)
"Tomoyo! Arnor!" Eriol called, running down the hall.
Sticking her head out the room opposite that of Arnor's, Tomoyo looked at Eriol questioningly.
"Are you two almost ready to go?"
"Yeah. Why?" Tomoyo was now worried.
"We have to get to the Kinomoto Kingdom as soon as possible!"
"What's the problem master?" Spinel flew into the room with Nakuru right behind him.
"Why weren't you two at the fire?" The realization suddenly hit Eriol.
"We were getting everything into the carriage so you wouldn't have to worry about it later." Nakuru replied.
"And by the time we finished with that, you were already on your way here." Spinel finished.
Sighing, Eriol just rolled his eyes at their pathetic excuse and continued on, "We need to be leaving now, or at least in the next few hours."
"We're ready." Spinel spoke for himself and Nakuru.
"And me and mommy awe weady." Arnor said proudly.
"Good." Eriol looked lovingly at his son, "Now come on, time to go!" Eriol picked up his son and carried him out, everyone else following.
*~*~*~* Third Person POV:
All three groups on their way to the Kinomoto Kingdom made it there in record timing.
Tomoyo and Eriol were the first to show up due to the fact that they had the least distance to travel. The next to arrive, who did so just before the noon chime of the bells, were Syaoran and Sakura. The last to arrive were Efil and Arianllyn who arrived about an hour after.
When the children came together, there wasn't any quiet for the rest of the day in that part of the castle. Rhun and Kyra were dancing and playing, singing and laughing throughout the day while Ados and Arnor played with toy soldiers.
The adults had spent little time conversing and catching up with each other before leaving the room with the children to go to a room where they would be alone. There they talked about the return of Ispep.
"He can't have found a way back!" Efil pounded on the solid wood table that stood in the center of the room.
"But if he has, then we must not ignore the idea!" Sage yelled back.
"No matter whether he truly has or hasn't found a way out of that dimension and back here, we must be prepared for the worst." Sakura sighed, "And all your damn yelling isn't going to change anything!"
"You talk about the worst." Eriol commented softly, "What would you say that is?"
No one had an answer. Everyone just looked around the room, looking anywhere but at each other.
The candle holders along the wall caught a few glances with their soft pink, yet transparent glass and glittering white candles. The walls, made, and still containing the look, of wood held most of the stares while the circular table in the center of the room held the rest.
After a few minutes of the uncomfortable silence, Efil spoke up, softly at first, but quickly gaining strength, "I truly don't know and can't even imagine what horrors my fa—I mean Ispep might bring against us. He has survived and apparently thrived in a dimension ruled by demons. If he was able to do that, then I cringe to even attempt to imagine what he might now do."
"Whatever he tries to do now," Diov stressed the word to make a point, "He will not succeed if we stick together! Separate, we can't beat him, but united he shall fall."
Gaining both confidence and determination, they all decided that no matter what, they would be there for each other, in hope that everything would turn out all right for their children's futures.
