Sangokirara5: Yay! I finished my animated comics!!! ^_^

Kei: About time, you left these readers!! Abandoned them!

Lei: Yeah!

Sangokirara5: Well, at least I didn't leave them on a cliff hanger.

Kei: Yeah, but still.

Sangokirara5: Ha! Can't get back on that one, can you? (Laughs at Kei hysterically)

Kei: (Puts her fists together in anger, and annoyance) Lei!!!

Lei: Yes?

Kei: Kaen! (Points to the laughing author)

Lei: Are you sure? I mean, if you kill her, then she won't be able to finish your story.

Kei: Well.. Grr you!

Sangokirara5: HAAHAHAHAHAHA!! (Still laughing)

Lei: Ok. let's start, shall we?

~Ch. 22 Cont. Going to the Fire Shrine~

The gang was getting ready to go, packing. While everyone was packing, Kei called everyone for a quick lunch.

"You guys! When your ready, bring your stuff, and come and eat!" Kei yelled. Then, she heard replies, and one by one, the gang came down. Eagle was first, and he was carrying a backpack, not too big. Then, Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu came. They had no items to carry, for their jeweled glove keeps the items. Lastly, Geo came, with a bag, not too big, but not too small. "What's in there?" Kei asked, taking the bag, and giving it to Lei.

"Oh. Stuff." Geo said, getting up.

"What kind of stuff?" Kei asked.

"I'll tell, if you tell me where you got this." He said jokingly.

"Very funny. Anyway, eat, and let's go." Kei said, giving up.

"Ok, give me a sec." Geo said, grabbing his lunch.

After their quick lunch, they got on to their hover cars.

"Ready?" Kei asked everyone. The others gave a nod.

"Ok, Canus, Tsuki, and Hoshi! Come out!" As Kei said this, three dogs came out. "Ready?" She asked to the wolves. They nodded. "Let's go!" As Kei said this, the hover cars floated, and the 3 dogs each went into a hover car.

"Whoa!" Geo said, as he saw Tsuki go in.

"Don't worry, they're just for protection, they will control, you don't need to steer, ok?" Kei said, as the hover cars floated.

The others nodded once more, and the hover cars, slash wolves sped down towards the fire shrine.

As they sped through the forest, they got some breaks. Most part of the trip was just driving. While Geo was driving, and Kei sat in the back, they did not talk, for they

were both into deep thoughts.

'I like Kei? And Kei likes me? I don't get what Eagle said earlier..' Geo was

thinking.

'Oh, I had a bad feeling just as Hikaru. Eagle and Geo aren't getting along as

much as before. What's wrong? I wonder if I can help?' Kei thought to herself.

As they where driving through the forest, they started to see the volcanic

mountain.

"Oh, is that it?" Hikaru said, pointing.

"Yup, we made it! Finally!" Kei said.

"I haven't seen this for a while. I wonder if anything changed." Umi said.

"I just hope there won't be anything living there, like the past 2 shrines."

Kei said.

As Kei finished her sentence, there was an earthquake, and they saw that the

volcano was starting to erupt!

"Oh no!" Hikaru said, horrified.

"I should've kept my mouth shut, I knew something like this would happen." Kei

said, looking at the volcano. Soon, they slow down to a stop, carefully

getting off the ship.

"Well, I have an idea, see, I can send my Rayearth in there to check things

out!" Hikaru said, getting Rayearth out.

"Ok, um, they take these 2, also." Kei said as she took her fire wolf and

dragon out.

"My home, I knew that it'd erupt." Rayearth said, looking at his old home.

"Well, no time to sit around. Let's get a move on." Kei said, getting up.

"What? Your going?" Geo said. "You can't go in there! It's dangerous!"

"Yeah, I mean you are a human, these are fire wolves, and dragons!" Eagle

said.

"Well, don't forget that I also have the emblem fire. I will be fine, don't

worry." Kei said, as she climbed onto Lei. "Rayearth, take my dragon and my

wolf down first, I'll go check from the top. I'll see if there is something

wrong, ok?"

Rayearth nodded, and sped down to the volcano. Soon, the dragon and the wolf

nodded to Kei, and also sped following Rayearht towards the volcanoe.

"Becareful!" Geo yelled, as Kei and Lei soared into the sky. Kei waved, and

that's what they saw last of her.

"Urg. What's wrong with this place?" Rayerth mumbled to himself.

"Don't worry. I think I know what Kei sama is just thinking." Houryu said.

"Yup, so when we get the message, we have to get out of here. Canus said.

Rayearth did not know what they were talking about, but left it, for a huge

rock on fire was bolting right at them, After they dodged it, they heard a

faint laughter.

"What was that?" Rayearth yelled. "Come out!"

Houryu and Canus sighed, looking at each other.

"I see.." they both said.

*Soooo SORRY!!!! _ sorry !!! I am really sorry! SORRY!!!! It's late, I no, sorry!!!!
