Sorry about the long update, but my wrist had to be fixed. Anyways thank you for the reviews. For those who haven't noticed this story is turning into a love square more then a triangle (poor Shinji). Thank you to Dark Titan who informed me about those spelling mistakes. Richard Rahl, I doubt you (or your cat) will do it, but I'm starting to consider owning a dog... Anyways lets get the story rolling!

Asuka was walking back towards the palace after demolishing a whole group of soldiers who were foolhardy enough to accepted her challenge. 'If the great Shinji is as good as people say he is, I better find someone better to practice with,' thought the red-haired girl. Still walking towards the palace, something caught her eye. A rider on a horse wearing light silver armor just arrived by the palace gates. He wasn't wearing a helmet , so his long hair and stubbled face was easily recognised. Wasting no time Asuka sprinted towards the object of her affection with great speed, dispite her heavy red armor. Sensing an impending doom Kaji approaching, he looked behind him and saw a red blur. He had just enough time to step backwards. Unfortunatly the momentum from the weight of her armor and her speed sent Asuka headfirst into a brick wall. Everyone winced as they heard the straining and cracking of the metal as it impacted the wall in around mach 1, leaving a broken wall and a battered red-head.
'Well it could be worse,' thought Kaji as he moved to help Asuka up.
~~~~~
"Come on move it you two!" shouted Misato. Behind her was Rei and Shinji wearing what seemed to be weighted clothing. ''Come on! After this mountain its over for the day!" shouted Misato again.
"I want to see her trying it instead of riding on that horse," mumbled Rei who was sweating heavily.
"Nah, all the beer she drinks will probably numb the pain," added Shinji who was also struggling up the mountain..
"Quit your jabbering!" ordered Misato who obviously heard the insult.
'How did she hear that?' thought both teenagers at the same time.
"Stop thinking and start doing!" yelled Misato.
'Ok, that's it!' thought Shinji as his patience snapped. Conjuring a mass of energy he gathered enough wind and 'flew' back to the camp site, leaving a bewildered Rei and Misato in a cloud of dust.
~~~~~
"Anyways I asked Gendo was the 'am I pretty' question and you should have seen his face, it was hilarious!" said Yui who was having a gossip with Ritsuko, a high mage of the palace and a friend of Yui's. Giggling was heard from the room, when Yui finished her sentence. Hearing a lot of giggles coming from Yui's study, Gendo leaned his head closer to the door, hoping to catch the conversation.
"So what did he do?" asked a near Ritsuko who was losing a battle to control her laughter as she imagined Gendo's face trapped in that situation.
"He fainted!" half laughed half shouted Yui. A loud 'thud' was heard outside the doorway when Gendo fainted once again.
~~~~~
"Look Shinji, I'm really sorry about being too hard on you," said Misato with real concern in her eyes. Rei and Misato have just arrived back to camp and the first thing Misato did was to apologise to Shinji.
Shinji turned around and looked Misato directly in her eyes with his deep blue ones.
"Really?" asked Shinji.
"Yes, really," said Misato as she pulled Shinji into a hug. Meanwhile Rei was observing them in the background with a very amused expression on her face. "By the way Shinji? How did you manage to...take off like that?"
"I'm still not sure, all I thought about was getting away, then suddenly I took off," replied Shinji.
"Hmm, very interesting. Rest up guys, we'll have combat training tomorrow." Shinji and Rei started moaning, whinging and complaining when the heard Misato's plans.
'Life is good," thought the major slyly.

Jaruni was sitting in her room meditating until one of the soldiers knocked on her door. A month has past from the day of the eventful battle and a proper base was finally built. The battle was not a huge victory however, since only around a hundred troops survived the battle. Standing up she walked up the door while stretching some of her muscles which have fallen asleep. When she opened the hard and sturdy oak door, a young man wearing the standard DarkBlight Kingdom armor. The standard armor was entirely black, but this one had three golden stripes on a rounded shoulder armor indicating that he was a sergeant. The standard armor does not have a one piece chest armor, but a thick leather with metal sewed into it, providing protection for vital organs and improved agility. Hastily the man bowed in front of her, but Jaruni motioned for the man to rise, she hates people being too formal to her.
"Your presence is requested in the meeting room sir," said the man. Jaruni nodded and the solder saluted, turned on his heels and marched away. Wondering about what the meeting could be about, she grabbed her sword and ran off.
Entering a wooden room lighted by floating orbs sending off eerie green lights, jaruni looked around. Seated on the lond wooden rectangular desk was a very important looking mage, whos face was hidden by the dark material he was wearing. The rest of the seat were taken up by officers of both demonic officers and human ones. Suddenly all the occupants of the dark room looked at her direction and suddenly sprang to their feets saluted and bowed. Jaruni frowned. 'No have ever done that to me before,' thought the teen girl. When she looked behind her however, she found out that the salutes were not intended to her, but to the black cloaked figure behind her. Lord Akumadoom was standing write behind her. His large jutting shoulder armor made him twice as intmidating and with his cloak that surrounds his whole body under his neck, he could easily scare someone into a heart attack. He raised his hands to take off his helm which has a V shaped slit and two straight horn like tasks coming from the bottom side of the helmet. His long dark blonde hair swished around as he surveyed his room. All the rooms occupants stood as still as statues as he did so, not wanting to anger the great lord of the DarkBlight Kingdom. Last time he was angered he turned someone into an apple tree (don't ask me why an apple tree).
"Cut the formality crap," ordered the tall cloaked lord in an emotionless voice which made the room vibrate. Eruptly everyone sat down on their seat, but still looked rigid. Akumadoom looked down onto the person in front of him who happened to be Jaruni. To the suprise of all the people, he smiled at Jaruni and asked, "How was your day? Are you doing well?" unlike before his voice this time was warm and caring.
"Yes, father," said Jaruni who also smiled at her father.
~~~Flashback~~~
It was a beautiful autum, leaves of all colour fell from both mighty and small trees onto the ground. The morning mist have still not yet blown off completely and it covered the leave filled ground like large piece of transparent white silk. Leaves crushed as a tall figure walked through the grass. It has been one year since Lord Akumadoom's wife died in a tragic accident. People moarned for their queen, since she was the only queen ever who actually cared for the well being of all the citizen of this great kingdom. Ever since the tragic demise of their queen, the lord has been growing ever more and more distant. His once caring and warm voice soon turned as cold as a winter blizzard. The once caring lord continued his walk and sighed. Autum was the favourite season of the queen. Everyone would have thought that a caring person such her would have picked a warmer and more happy one than Autum. Every time someone asks her why, she would reply, "In autum where all the plants are starting to die, you can still see their beauty and colour. Unlike spring or summer, this beauty you have to look for and if you look hard enough, it looks even better."
Just remembering the quote brought a tear down his eyes. A whizing noise soon followed by an explosion suddenly caught his attention. Quickly conjuring a spell that would hide him, but to the most powerful of mages, he ran towards the source of the explosion. On a field where farmers would grow their crops during spring, was a horde of boy chasing after a cloaked figure. Judging by the size of the cloaked figure Akumadoom knew that she was a child. One of the boys shot a ball of fire which impacted against the childs back and a cry of agony echoed around the misty fields. The child fell on the damp earth. To defend herself the child brought up a black forcefield laced with lightning. The lord frowned when he saw the energy field. It was way too strong for someone her size or age, even though it was still nothing compared to his own power. The older boy who shot the first ball of fire, now shot a much larger and fierce fire ball at her direction. even though the field held together, it shimmered as it was weakened considerably. Balls of fire were shot aginst the barriar until it finally shattered before disappearing. Instantly one of the boys threw a stone the size of a fist at the child. The stone impacted hard against the girl's shoulder causing it to her to sag and fall. When she fell, he noticed a brown box that the girl was previously holding fell next to her, but out of her arms reach. The gang of boys formed a circle around her, ready for the kill. It was then that the great lord dropped his invisablity spell. The gang saw the adult ran off, fearing that they may get into trouble.
Cradling the fallen figure into his arms, he took of the hood of the cloak. He gasped in suprise. The girl was almost a living copy of his wife. Same blonde hair, same blue eyes and even the same shaped face. The girl was pale from exhaustion and the gash was bleeding freely from her right shoulder. The girl smiled at her rescuer.
"Thank you," was all she said before blacking out, her eyes closed leaving a perfectly innocent and peacefull face. The lord turned around cradling the child as though it was his most precious object. He walked towards the box and opened it, revealing three kittens, which would have definitly be dead by now if not for the girl. His frown deepened as he found another unsettling discovery. They would both risk their life protecting something. Lifting the box up with his magic, Lord Akumadoom walked back towards his palace cradling the girl. The servent of the palace almost died of suprise when their master told them to heal and take care of the girl and the kittens. They haven't seen their their master this caring and compassionate ever since the death of his wife. As they rushed of to do their masters biding, they all smiled inwardly happy that their was still hope for their master.
Three days have past from that fatefull day and the girl opened her blue eyes and surveyed her room. The doors of the room slammed open to reveal Lord Akumadoom dressed in purple robes with golden outlines. The lord himself didn't know why he saved the child, but everytime he looked or thought about her, he felt as though he had to protect her. Every day since the healers have healed her, he went waited by her bedside for hours.
"Who are you?" said the child in a sweet voice, but the lord could tell that there was some fear in it as well.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you. Do you have parents? Because they maybe worried about you," said the lord in a caring voice which he has not used for a long time. The girls bright eyes suddenly looked gloomy and he relised what that meant. "Don't worry, I'll take care of you," said the lord.
"Really?" asked the child, this time filled with joy and sweetness.
"Really," answered the lord. He was rewarded by a big bright smile. Lord Akumadoom felt that his face changed to an expression that he had not used for a year. He was smiling. The girl sat up and hugged her new guardian. He was caught by suprise, but he hugged back. In a simple, short moment all the bitterness and coldness which has frozen the heart of the lord shattered... at least untill a stranger arrived at their palace ten years later.
~~~and flashback~~~
Jaruni sighed as the memory flashed through her mind in a simple second. She took her seat by the table just as the meeting started.
~~~~~
"Aww, too bad, nice try though," taunted Rei as she evaded one of Shinji's blasts of wind. Shinji started growling in fustration that the albino girl dodged his attack so easily. Thinking quickly Shinji thought up of a plan (or senario in Gendo's case... maybe thinking quick plans/senarios are in their genetics). Shinji concentrated hard and a straight powerful blast of wind headed towards the blue haired girl. Once again she dodged it and the attack left a deep straight trench where the attack touched the ground. Shinji smiled, he had her excactly where he wanted her. Rei was unaware that she was standing on a huge patch of dust and sand. Once again Shinji concentrated this not as a straight line of wind, but a huge wind storm. Rei knowing that she could not dodge an attack with such a vast area of destruction braced herself. A huge gale blow over the area where Rei was, creating a mighty duststorm blinding Rei. Rushing through the wall of dust Shinji ran towards Rei, he managed to form a wind barrier around him, keeping out the sand. Unfortunatly Shinji tripped on a stone, which in turn made him fall on Rei with enough force to knock her out. Even more unfortunatly, Misato returned from one of her beer breaks (she doesn't believe in coffee breaks) and saw them both sprawled on top of each other with their clothing messed up.
"Sex fiends..." mumbled Misato as she decides that it was time for more beer.

Did I do ok? I think I might have stuffed something up at backflashes, since I'm not too adapt at writing sugary and lovey dovey moments. I will be writing more history about some of the characters later. Anyways please send some reviews.
