An: Yes people I live! (((_^ Gomen Gomen*bows* My computer (with this on it)
crashing, evil advanced high school programs, writer's block, and bad planning led to this.
Seriously I've changed my idea about where this is going completely. So things in latter
chaps may not fit with the original, just giving you all a heads up. Also this is a prequel to my
real story, so I'm not quite sure how this is going to end. So here goes nothing right?
Amano stood by the curb pulling his coat tighter around him. He was thankful that
Hitomi had returned . . . again. It was good to know she was safe, but that wasn't the only
reason he'd come back here. He pushed his now short brown hair out of his face, he had
theses images . . . of a dragon and a light.
He told himself they were just his worried mind that, with Hitomi disappearing again
he was making these things up, but he just wouldn't accept it for some reason. He sighed,
what was he going to say? 'Hey do you guys remember when that dragon chased us then
Hitomi and some guy disappeared in to a bright light?' Sure that would go over well . . .with
him in the nearest institution.
Suddenly a car pulled right up to the curb, he didn't think the girls had a car, but
sure enough out they popped. And popped was defiantly a good word for it as they ran over
each hugging him and talking in a simultaneous quick chatter that made his head spin.
"Ma, ma," he signaled then to slow down, " I can't get half of what you're saying."
Suddenly an unfamiliar Man stepped out of the driver's side of the car, 'So that explains the
car,' He leaned down so only the girls could hear, "Well, I know who the car belongs to, what
about the guy?"
Hitomi smiled slyly, "Why don't you as Yukari hmmm?"
Yukari could feel a hot flush spread across her cheeks, "and what about Van hmm?
You couldn't forget about him?"
Amano stood blinking confusion as the girls continued to bicker, 'Van . . .now why did
that sound familiar?' He was broken out of his thoughts by Criet.
"Hey, my name's Jake," He held out his hand to shake, "Jake Miller, and you must be
Amano?" He asked.
Amano nodded as he accepted the shake, "Yep that'd be me."
"Need some help?" 'Jake' asked gesturing to the suitcases that sat next to the other
man.
"That'd be good, thanks," Amano answered as he handed one of them to Jake. They
started towards the car together leaving the still bantering girls. "So you're a friend of the
girls?"
"Yeah I just met them recently when me and my sis moved in next door to them," he
explained opening the trunk and putting the bag in.
"Your sister?" he asked. He heaved the suitcase up and setting it in the trunk.
" Yeah her name's Alex, you'll probably meet her later." He closed the trunk then
turned around leaning against it crossing his arms. "They're completely oblivious ne?"
Amano followed suit, " Think they'll notice if we start to drive off?"
Jake smirked, "Wanna try?"
Amano nodded, "let's do." Both men moved simultaneously as they walked around and
got in the car, Amano in the back and Jake up front. Jake started to drive away from the
girls watching them in his mirrors.
The girls noticed the car driving away at the same moment, "I'm going to kill them,"
growled Yukari as she sprinted towards the car. Once she reached the passenger door she
tore it open and glared at the two laughing men. "Oh it is to laugh," she said sarcastically as
she got in playfully punching Jake.
Hitomi got in the back trying to keep a straight face, before giving up and joining the
men in laughing too.
"I thought it was amusing ne Jake?"
"Yep," Jake smiled and drove off through the crowded streets back to the
apartment.
*~*~*~*~*~*
Ry lay back on the couch haphazardly relaxing in her and Criet's apartment. She had
been turning over the new information in her head, but now though from the outside it
might appear she was sleeping she was actually tracking the person who had just slipped into
the apartment and was sneaking over towards her.
Silently she waited until the person was directly over her then opened her eyes,
"Konichi wa Terce." Bright blue-green eyes widened in surprise as the young boy balked
stepping backwards. However his foot caught on the edge of the rug sending him off
balance. Though for a second it looked as if the boy might straiten up safely, he ended up
losing the battle and finished seated uncomfortably on the floor.
Ry couldn't help but laugh at the young boy's 'ballet', as an unusually bright smile
crossed her face making her look much younger than she often acted.
"Ha ha ha Ry-chan, I didn't think that was funny," the boy 'glared' at the amused
woman, though the effect was lost as he struggled not to laugh himself. He was thirteen,
with shoulder length unruly dark green hair that was tamed at the nape of his neck. His
aquamarine colored eyes were set in a tanned face. He had begun to develop a strong build,
though he had yet to lose all his child-like traits.
Ry smiled as she reached over and ruffled the boy's hair, " So what are you doing
here? I thought I asked you to help Ayonous-sensei?"
Terce pushed her hand away, " Ayonous-sensei sent me," he snapped playfully.
Ry cocked an eyebrow, " Tisk tisk tisk, talking to a superior like that," she 'scolded',
"That's good though, 'cause if you'd disobeyed my order, I'd have to punish you no matter
how much I like ya."
The kid laughed, " Now why would I disobey orders?"
Ry narrowed her eyes still teasing, " because you're exactly like I was at your age. So
what did Ayonous want?"
"I'll take that as a complement," he flashed a rouge smile, " Ayonous-sensei wanted to
talk with ya' 'bout some 'new developments'"
Ry sighed, " There seem to be a lot of those recently." She dragged herself off the
couch and stretched a bit, " and I was looking forward to a nice relaxing evening."
"Gomen nasai."
She looked over, " Why don't you hang out here a bit, Criet'll be back in a little and
maybe later we could take you around."
"Really?!" the boy's eye's lit up with excitement.
"Since when have I lied to you?" Ry smiled as grabbed her brown trench coat. She
checked to be sure the sword was safely tucked away in the lining. "Ja!" she called over her
shoulder as she left.
'Better to not teleport to Geae from here,' she thought as she got on to the empty
elevator. However she couldn't help but smile, Terce's company was always welcome. As much
so as her elder brother's, after all the kid might as well be their younger sibling. Considering
they'd been taking care of him since he was five. Crossing the parking lot she got on her
motorcycle and left.
Only moments later Criet arrived parking the car and helped Amano with his bags up
to the apartment, while the girls talked animatedly about this and that, seemingly
forgetting the recent unfortunate events. As soon as Amano looked like he was somewhat
settled in Criet exuded himself and left for his own place.
Opening the door he hadn't expected to have a mess of green hair and bright
cerulean eyes right in his face. He jumped back a few feet reaching for his sword. However
ringing laughter quelled his reaction. He frowned at the kid in the doorway, " Ha ha ha, very
funny," he said grabbing Terce and bringing him back into the apartment.
The kid detached himself and continued his interrupted exploration of the
apartment, and all the gadgets within.
Criet smiled as he watched Terce pick up the phone turning it over in his hands
several times fascinated by the unusual machine. " So what exactly are you doing here?" he
said putting his hands on his hips.
The boy didn't take his eyes of the smooth plastic of the phone as he answered,
"Ayonous-sensei sent fer Ry, an' she said I could stay fer a bit."
Criet laughed, "I see. Hey I've got an idea! Are you hungry?"
Terce now held the phone above his head studying the underside, "Yeah."
The older man carefully removed the phone and set it on the counter picking up the
receiver, " Then I'll introduce you to what these people call a pizza."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Van rubbed his temples as he forced himself up from the uncomfortable bench on
which he had been sitting. He attempted his way through the hallways of the airship that
were now a buzzing hive of activity, careful to avoid running into any of the many workers
carrying all sorts of things. Finally he made it to his destination, quickly opening the door
and entering the empty room. Closing the door behind him he leaned against its heavy meatal
frame thankful for the silence it provided.
After a moment he made his way to the center of the room quickly activating the
communications device they had adapted from the earlier Ziabachian version. The screen lit
up revealing a young Cat-man. He had a thin frame, that seemed almost overdressed in the
formal dark blue and white official's clothes. His fur was a dark orange-brown color, with
only one distinctive stripe across each cheek. He had long, wavy, royal blue hair tied back in
a loose ponytail and big golden eyes.
"Konichi wa Van-sama," Greeted the man bowing.
"Hello Cescel, I trust you know why I've contacted you?"
"Hai, I have heard of the troops returning from the mystic moon, but why is the
question."
"Ry contacted me making the very firm suggestion that we began moving our base
back to Geae, other than that I'm afraid I can say no more at this moment. Merle will
explain the rest when she arrives."
The man's eyes lit up at the mention of Merle returning, " I understand I will be sure
everything is ready I assure you."
"I trust you will," smiled Van. He was quite aware of the shy man's feelings for the
cat-girl.
"Anything eles your highness?"
"Be prepared for anything," was Van's cryptic answer.
"Hai." The screen flickered out and the room was once again plunged in to darkness.
The king smiled to himself, " Those two would make a great couple I Cescel would just
work up the gall to tell her," he said knowingly. Then he laughed in spite of himself, " Then
again, how can I talk?" he said as he puled a small box out of his pocket. He rolled it over in
his hand then held it as if he were testing its weight before sliding it back where it
belonged.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ry arrived back at the apartment around noon the next day mentally and physically
exhausted. She walked straight to the coach and fell on to it. She sat up slightly and rubbed
her aching temples.
Criet came out of the back room at hearing her enter, he shook his head seeing her
so obviously taxed. "So, we're heading back soon Soyanna?" He asked.
Her head protested firmly to even his softer voice, "Hai," she answered.
"Hungry? You've been working all night ne?" He raised an eyebrow in question, "I could
have helped ya know?"
"Iie, we were fine," her head throbbed more showing its distaste for noise at the
moment, " And yes something to eat would be nice Sono. Where is Terce?" She was thankful
for the normally quite loud boy's absence, but still she wanted to know where he was.
Criet walked around the couch and to the kitchen. His head disappeared in to the
fridge as he searched it for the leftover pizza he knew should be hiding there. "Our
'younger cousin' is with Hitomi, Yukari, and Amano." He answered as he found the fugitive
food, "They were going to a movie and I thought he might enjoy going with them." He waited
for a lecture about how he should have gone with them, and that the boy was likely to
divulge something, but he received nothing of the kind.
He stood up concerned and looking over to the couch found a sleeping Ry. He smiled
shaking his head as he put the food away, "Guess she won't be eating this after all."
He walked into his room retrieving a nice comforter, and tucking the girl in it. He
just stood there watching her for a bit with a smile on his face. It was nice to see his sister
get some rest once in a while. She always pushed herself far too hard.
She was such an enigma even to him, when they were young he would think he had her
figured out, then she would turn around and surprise him again. Eventually he had given up
the concept of ever fully understanding her. There was no doubt that she had come to
trust Hitomi and Yukari, just the fun-loving way she acted around them at times showed
that. They may have thought it an act . . .and it was at first, but now they were getting the
pleasure of seeing one of her many facets.
He still wondered why she had come and chosen to work under Van. It just didn't
seem like a decision she would make. Yet here they were on the Mystic moon working for the
King of Fanailia. Will wonders never cease?
That reminded him. He got up and scribbled some information on a small pad on the
breakfast nook. They were going to have dinner tonight with Van, Hitomi, Yukari, and Amano.
Having written down this information he walked to the entranceway taking his long trench
coat and slipping it on. He opened the door and with one last look back at his sister, he left.
*~*~*~*~*~*
Ry rose quite unceremoniously having been jerked out of sleep by the phone ringing.
She groaned not really wanting to get up. Wait . . . when had she fallen asleep? She sighed
Criet had let her fall asleep, no surprise there.
Another sharp ring reminded her about the phone, she quickly lifted the reciever to
her ear, "Moshi moshi."
"Ry!" Yukari's excited voice came over the line causing Ry to flinch a bit.
"Hai?" she asked.
" Look I know we were all going out to dinner tonight, but I . . .with your brother's
help . . .well I kind of altered the restaurant to which Van and Hitomi will be going. So they
won't be dining with us," She laughed nervously on the other end.
Ry blinked, " Well glad that I found out about this ne?" She really did not like being
ill informed, however now she took note of the note her brother had left.
"I thought Criet would have told you?"
"It's ok I just found the information," she sat for a moment before translating the
scribbles that passed for a quickly written note.
"Oh and Amano's at the apartment could you tell him?"
"Sure," Ry smiled mischievously, a quick glance at the clock told her she had plenty of
time. Time to toy with her brother, after all she still had to get him back for letting her
sleep too long ne?
"Ok see ya tonight!"
"Ja ne!" Ry heard a click as Yukari hung up and did so herself. Reaching over she
picked up a phone book throwing it open on the counter in front of her. She began flipping
the pages quickly searching for the number of the restaurant that Criet had written.
Successfully finding it she picked up the phone resting it on her shoulder, as she began to
dial. Revenge was sweet, especially when they would thank you latter.
