Sorry the last chappy was so short...T^T
I didn't have much time and everything. I'll try to make this one a little longer.
I LUV YOU EVERYONE WHO REVIEWED MY STORY (hugz)
Chapter IV-Uncertainty and Doubt
Yuki looked ready to refuse, but seeing the atmosphere in the room, came and took a seat.
"So, Yuki. You're Sir Nealan's betrothed. Do you know anything that concerns the crime that might be useful to us?" Thayet questioned.
Yuki looked scared out of her wits. Should I tell them the truth? Should I tell them how I betrayed Neal? No, Neal betrayed me. Maybe.. Maybe that was just a friendly peck. Why did I do it? Why? Will these people ever forgive me if I tell them?
"Yukimi?"
"Uh..No. I don't know anything except what Keladry said." Yuki said hurridly. "Sir Neal got attacked around midnight with a sharp weap..."She forced a smile on her face as she trailed off. Everyone was staring at her.
Raoul cleared his throat. "Midnight, sharp weapon, Lady Yukimi? How do you know so well?"
All the color drained out of Yuki's face. "It was.. it was a hypothesis!" She said. "I'm not sure, but it seems like midnight by the hardness of the blood.."
She never even felt the blood, Dom thought. she didn't even come to se Neal. I think she's lying.. but.. why? Why would Yukimi purpously try to kill her betrothed and lover? I can't tell people, no. There's no proof. No proof at all. Although my suspicions are most likely correct, I can't hold her until I have proof. Yes, proof.. Dom was thinking hard. He excused himself when everybody seperated to continue his "thinking" where it was quiet.

Kel sat down at the edge of her bed and buried her head in her shaking hands. Yuki's attitude had been strange, but she trusted Yuki. Yuki was her best friend, second to Neal. Yuki loved Neal. She would never hurt Neal. Or would she?
Kel shook her head, gathering shrieks from sparrows, who protested at the sudden movement of Kel's head and shoulders. No, she thought blindly. I will trust Yuki, Kel thought angrily. She would trust her longest-ever friend.
A knock at her door woke her, to find that she was in the same position as she had been before. She groaned, stretched, and opened the door. "Hello, Dom." was all she said as the blue-eyed youth collapsed into a chair and looked at the ceiling.
"..Dom?"
"Kel, I have to tell you something." Dom motioned for Kel to close the door, and then to sit. "About Neal, and about the attack.."
Kel sighed as she sat down on a chair across from him. "What about Neal, and about the attack?" she asked as she got up again, much to her annoyance, to get two cups and some juice.
Dom nodded his thanks as she poured the thick, red liquid into the cups and handed one to him. She too nodded, telling him to start.
Dom looked down and fiddled with his fingers, then ran a nervous hand through his dark hair. "Uh, Kel, I have a little... "guess" about who might have attacked our Sir Meathead." Dom began. He had no idea what her reaction to his talk might be. If it was bad, he didn't want to know what it was.
Kel looked directly at him, making him flinch. Her gaze was strong, almost a steady glare. "Go on."
"And well, I think, after all the clues and the suspicions, uh, well, I think it might be.. Kel, don't get angry at me for thinking this, I really think this is the truth. Promise not to get mad at me?" He asked, his eyes pleading.
"Just go on." Kel growled.
"Promise." Dom insisted.
"Dom." Kel said, her voice dangerously low.
Dom took a sip of the juice. "Won't you just....promise?" He asked, his voice just above a tiny whine.
"Dom. If you don't say it NOW, you'll be very sorry that you even began." Kel said, her glare strengthening.
Dom took a deep breath. Mithros, please protect your poor little sergeant..
"I think, I think it might be Lady Yukimi." His voice wavered.
"Dom?"
"Yes, Lady Kel." he lifted his face, a bit hopeful that she might not be..
"How dare you accuse my.. my best female friend like that? Don't you know that Yuki loves Neal and would do no such thing?" Tears splashed down Kel's face. "Why, Dom? Tell me the fucking REASON you're suspecting Yuki!"
Dom looked at Kel, shocked.
Kel stood up. "I said, tell me the reason!" She screamed.
"Kel.."
Kel stormed out of the room, sobbing.
Dom felt blank. She had never yelled at him like this. Did this mean that she didn't care about him anymore? Did she.. did she think his affections were all pieces of garbage?
It was too difficult.
"Things used to be waaaaaaay simpler than they are now," Dom said to the sparrows, who stood with heads cocked. He patted Fawn, the new chief leader after Crown died on the head and walked out the door.
