Ami couldn't believe her eyes when she saw the amount of soliders brought in by the guards.

I mean they had brought in this number before but it was normally with the help of a horse, cart and the fact that they were unconscious.

But no, these were all conscious and making an act out of appearing humble, she just knew it was an act.

No solider in there right mind would walk humbly into the lions den so to speak and it was at this stage of her thought stream that a pair of blue eyes encountered one of the soliders eyes.

There was open defiance in those eyes and an utter lack of respect for the female sex.

Breaking the eye contact with him proved to be easier then she had imagined and as she walked over to her seat at the top of the steps were all the generals of this place sat during important meetings. She had one thing to say about her time here.

Staying and learning all that Falcon had to teach her, she had become the person you went to if you wanted a prioner read, weither he would be a danger to them or whatever...

She suspected that this man would run at the first oppurtunity he had, but not before he got some information first.

It was at this stage that Ami had an idea.

What was unusual about this idea was that it was very sneaky an called for all the woman's help in it.

For at this stage all the woman who had husbands or such had been moved to other countries for there safety and the ones with children had benn moved to the safe countries.

So at this particular stage, the came looked like something out of tales of the amazon's...the only female army that had existed complently devoid of men except when they need them to preform a certain service.

Catching the eye of Falcon as she opened the door that lead to the meeting room, Ami quickly got of her chair and before Falcon had a chance to say anything she was pushed inside the room again.

As they starred at one another, Falcn took in the look in Ami's eyes and knew that she was up to something.

It looked very much like the look of an experienced pranster but she knew Ami had never played a prank in her life so it couldn't be that.

She opened her mouth but not before showing perfect white teeth in a smile set to disarm the most sesoned warrior and bring comfort to her people in times of crisis.

"What is it my friend? we have to go and greet our new guests"

Now some might find it strange that the enemy would call there prisoners guests but this is how they are looked upon by her and so it was how they whole village looked upon them.

"I have an idea, i want to play a prank on them, the new prisoners that is. I suspect that there is one that will make an attempt to escape this evening after he has gotten some information...i want it to be bad info....i dont trust him an inch, there is something sinister about his eyes. They are very sly and dont reveal much."

Ami ran out of breath and bowed her head before rising it again when Falcon spoke.

"I sense it to...u have my permission. How many of the girls do you need?"

Letting a laugh out of already smiling lips "All of them, friend. But since they are going to be busy and we cant have one meeting to tell everyone, i think we should tell say twenty of them and then they can pass the message on the everyone else."

"I will inform the rest of the guards and they will bring there second in command...it shall be done before sunset...anything else?"

Looking slightly aqward Ami answered "Actually yes, i need you to all wear the moon celebration clothes, and set up the courtyard like the celebration with a few changes...i can arrange the rest."

"It is done...now i must go." and in saying so, she opened the door and made her way down the steps towards the line of guests guarded by her most loyal and feared warriors.

Silently she looked them over, until she came to one that showed open defiance in his eyes. She held out her hand and touched his cheek..almost immeadiately she got a vision...of a chinese like man.

Backing a way quickly she turned and summoning a solider from near by, seh whispered a few words and off the solider went.

Turning back and remembering Ami's words she spoke while imploring her guards to trust her and not show nay shock at what she was about to say.

"You'll will of course join us for supper.." this was followed by an impression of an evil cackell that she had once heard her old sage make.

Not on of her soliders showed surprise on there faces but a few of the captured ones did actually flinch.

nodding to the woman to her right, she said

"Take them to the cages until and hour after sunset and then prepare them for the celebration."

With this she also made a sign with her hand to the solider letting her know when the meeting would take place and then she left.

With her back turned from them, she had a pretty good idea what Ami was planning and she had to agree..it was good. She smiled a small smile that quickly turned to seriouness as she made her way back to the meeting place were hopefully Rei was waiting, she had some very important news for her, in fact you could almost say a vital piece if news if her vision was anything to go by..
