Will someone please tell me
where I can find a Xiao action figure!?

I know the spacing was pitiful for the first
chapter or so but thanks for bearing with me.
On the .txt documents it had proper spacing;
FF.Net altered it. Oy.

Well, I heard someone else wrote a Xiao/Toan
fic here - so that means I'm not mentally
disturbed too badly after all! ^_^
Now that I wrote a bit of mush, i'm proud
of it. And for as long as he remains on this
fic, expect more Goro bashing. I hate
that useless little crybaby.
Hey Cheetah, nice idea. I might keep the guy
around for comic relief. A story ain't a story
without an airheaded moron in it somewhere = )
On with the fic!

"Adventure Day 21,
---I feel happier tonight than I ever
have before. After almost getting
eaten by a snake, I confessed my
love to Xiao. I know, I haven't written
it in here, and it is rather sudden, but
it was the heartfelt truth. And - can
you believe it - she felt the same way!
So now we're 'mates', as Xiao would
put it. Well, guess that's all there is to
write. Oh, I found a switch near where
I slayed that snake. Yeah, there was this
giant white snake freak. I would've died
ad Xiao not been there. Anyway, that switch
looks like it'd take a hammer or something to
push, so maybe we can convince that
chubby hunter Goro to join us. Oh, yeah,
might as well add that the town's coming along
great so far. Guess I'll hit the sack now, Xiao
says I need rest for my wounds to heal."

(]Adventure Day 22[)
=Time: Morning=
-
-
-------Toan woke up, but didn't bother
trying to get up; he just looked over and
saw an innocent feline girl clinging to his
arm, hugging his hand and purring in her
sleep. The young hero hated to disturb her,
but they needed to get an early start today.
-
-----"Xiao?" he said, nudging her gently
as the musician walked into the room and
began cooking himself breakfast. He
looked over at the pair. "Want some food?"
-----"Yes, please." Toan said as he tried to
ease his hand away, only to get it scratched
up a bit once more. The moral to this story?
So far it's 'if you're going to sleep with
felines, wear protective gloves.'
-----"Does she, uh.. always do that?" the
musician said, hiding back his amusement
at the pair as he began pouring some sort
of soup into three bowls. Toan nodded.
"You get used to it." He felt Xiao's grip
loosening as her nose twitched slightly,
then the feline woke up with a start.
-----"Xiao smells fish!" she squealed
happily before yawning and stretching
out much as a cat would. The musician handed
a bowl to Toan and Xiao, and began eating
the third.
-
-----Toan had just taken a few bites of his
when Xiao drank the last bit of hers and
looked at Toan. "Xiao's still hungry.." she
said with a frown - Toan knew it was a feigned
one, but he sighed and handed his bowl over
to the feline who grinned widely and finished
pretty much all of it. 'well, I never eat
much for breakfast anyway..' he thought with
a shrug.
-
-
-=Time: Noon=-
-
-
-----After having a conversation with Goro,
and watching him baul like a baby and yell
at his father, they finally were able to drag
the tubby excuse for a hunter along with them
as the Official Button Presser Person. And
things went by quickly after that.
-
-----They were able to get through
those doors with button-locks, and
went through the rest of the forest
with the greatest of ease. And then
they got to the FOrest Guardian.
(Yes, I forget its name. Sorry _O)
-
-=Time: Late Afternoon=-
-=Location: Forest Guardian's Dwelling=-
-
-
-------The trio entered a large clearing in
the forst, with Goro eating some cheese
they were trying to save for when they
needed it. "Xiao has a bad feeling about
this.." the cat girl said, her tail twitching
nervously as she looked around, staying
close to Toan. Goro laughed.
-
--"Scaredy cat." Goro said. Xiao scowled. "What's
the worst that could happen?" the hunter
continued.
-
----And, as if on que, just as those words
had left Goro's mouth, a huge apelike
monstrosity - the possessed Forest
GUardian - leaped down and landed on
Goro, slamming him into the ground.
"...ow.." Goro muttered in agony as he
was pummelled.
-
-----"Great, just like the Dran situation."
Toan said with a sigh. "I bet it'll be
just as easy too."
-
-----As soon as he said this, the gorilla
thing smashed its fists into him, sending
him sprawling backwards a ways. He
staggered up. "Okay, maybe I was wrong.."
-
----------Xiao pulled out her latest
slingshot (the Double Impact,
ladies and gentlemen) and began
pummeling the gorilla with
rocks. The gorilla charged her,
doing a spinning assault which she
nimbly dodged before attacking
when the beast was dizzy. Then Toan
ran up from behind the monster
and climbed up it's back, and was about
to poud it with the Wise Owl Sword when
it swung around quickly and, seeing as he
was hanging on for dear life, Toan dropped
the sword. The Guardian staggered back and
forth dizzily after that; Toan quickly took
out the Cross Hatch (did I get that name
right?) sword and smashed the hilt of it
onto the back of the monster's neck three
or four times. It roared and fell backwards,
Toan rolling out of the way to avoid
being crushed.
-
-
------"That was.. kinda easy." Xiao said,
putting her slingshot away. Toan nodded,
walking over to her.
----"You alright?"
----"Of coarse Xiao's alright!" the cat girl
said with a proud grin. "Xiao was much
too fast for that hairy monster."
-----"Ugh... bones.. broken... need..
assistance..." Goro muttered, his voice
racked with pure agony as he lay on a
patch of dirt nearby. Toan and Xiao sighed,
walking over to the dead weight and picking
him up. And after explaining things to the
now-awakened Forest Guardian, they dragged
Goro's fat carcass back to town. Oh and in
case I forgot to mention, he opened the path
to the Brownboo villiage (((Brownboo.. not an
easy name to forget. Unless of coarse I got
the name wrong.. at which point I am now
humiliated beyond all reason.)))
-
-
-=Time: Nightfall=-
-
-----The trio stayed at Goro's pad this night;
the hunter didn't mind as long as he was allowed
a decent night's sleep. Xiao and Toan were outside
at this time, however, looking up at the stars.
-
-----"So where are we going next?" Xiao asked
curiously.
-----"A place with wizards that should be strong
enough to seal the Dark Genie." Toan replied.
**Warning: Yes, Spoilers Will Arise Soon**
-----"Do you ever wonder who that creepy
silver headed guy was?"
-----"Sometimes." Toan shrugged.
-----"If he has the nerve to show his face again,
Xiao'll teach him a lesson!" the feline girl
said with a yawn. "But for now, Xiao's feeling
sleepy.."
------"Yeah, I'm gettin' sleepy too." Toan
said with a yawn. He stood up and walked
towards the ladder, climbing up it with
Xiao close behind, and slowly walked to
the only guest bed in the house. He crawled
under the covers as Xiao pounced onto
the bed next to him. Toan smiled, leaning
over to kiss Xiao lightly on the lips. The cat
girl grinned, nuzzling up against him with
a content purr. She continued talking about
different things for about ten more minutes,
but Toan had fallen asleep and missed pretty
much all of it.

Author's Note: "To that guy who reviewed saying
he'd like to see a Ruby/Toan pairing; After I'm done
with this fic, I'm honestly considering writing one.
... it won't go along with this fic whatsoever, mind you.
To Goro fans, no flames for the near-constant bashing of
Goro. And I know the fight with the Forest Guardian was
short and horrid; but sorcerors/sorceresses are my favorite,
and the Ice Queen is up next, so expect a good battle
next episode! Oh yeah and please review; when I'm done
I'll throw in a nice bonus chapter or two as promised.
Oh, and if you have any suggestions for bonus chapters,
include them in a review and I'll try to write it up for ya."
