3) If you don't like it, WHY THE HELL DID YOU READ IT?

4) You could've fold me.

5) Thank you.

Sorry for the rudeness everyone, but some people can be really stupid sometimes. Thank you all again.

Warnings for this chapter: Not much….

Summer for this chapter: A letter is delivered to the newly wed couple, one of a celebration in their honour. But when they go, something very shocking happens.

Any italicized words with that beside them will have a definition at the bottom.

"Everyone, I would like to make a toast, to my son and his bride!" Bakuryu said, loud enough for the room to hear. A large feast was being held for the two. Yesterday, it seems, Taichi was a little hyper, but now was back to normal and was holding the fan over his brightly light cheeks. Yamato, for what ever reason, was happy in any mood Taichi was in, though he's only seen Taichi hyper, shy and happy. After a numerous amount of applause and cheers, the table of royalty began to eat. Yamato glanced sideways at Taichi, and saw him poke his Figulin with his fork. After a few more pokes, he made a face, and switched to the blueberry pie, in which he happily ate. Yamato looked down at his own Figulin, and thought Taichi had the right idea. He moved on to his chicken, and started to listen to what his father had been trying to tell him for the past few minutes.

"…Yamato, you didn't hear a word I said…"

"…Ummmm…no."

Bakuryu sighed. " My brother, has invited you and Taichi to a ball in honour of your marriage. You know he lives in Mandraktis, behind Hiuo. It will takes us a week to get there if you agree, I'm just a little worried about Taichi, he's never left the village, I don't know how'd he react." Bakuryu explained to his son. They looked over at the said brunet and he looked back, still with the fork in his mouth.

"Taichi, my uncle invited us to a ball, would you like to go?, It's over Hiuo and it's a weeks venture" Yamato asked. Taichi looked a slightly hesitant at first, then gave an energetic nod of approval.

"All right, I'll send a letter that we're on our way." Bakuryu said joyously. "Haven't seen William in a while…"

Taichi looked down at his food. Behind Hiuo? That's so far away, I've never even gone out side the great walls to the lake. What if something happens? But also…what if we see a forest guardian, that would be so neat…

"Is river going?" Taichi asked.

"No way, I ain't leaving!" River said dramatically.

"You don't have to go." Bakuryu said. "Taichi, you don't mind do you?"

Taichi shook his head no.

"Alright then, we'll leave tomorrow."

On the morrow.

Taichi felt someone pick him up and carry him somewhere. He blinked a couple times, and saw that Yamato had carried him out, and into the carriage.

"All your things are packed and in another carriage, you can go back to sleep." Bakuryu, who was on the other side facing them, said. Taichi nuzzled his face into Yamato's chest, and let himself fall back into a blissful slumber.

A loud thud was heard, and Taichi found himself on the floor of the carriage, yamato's feet beside him.

"Taichi I'm sorry, I didn't mean to drop you." Yamato said. Taichi blinked for a couple moments then got up.

"Where are we?" He asked, shivering at the cold temperature.

"At the base of Hiuo, it's only going to get colder, I packed you a couple fur coats." Yamato explained, holding Taichi closer.

"Thank you." Taichi said. He looked out the window, and saw a light amount of frost on the ground. He shivered again, this time however, in fear.

Why do I suddenly fear where we are headed? Am I afraid to leave my home, or is it something else…Taichi shook his head and then rested it on yamato's shoulder. Suddenly, he saw something large twitch in the bushes, it was white with gleaming yellow eyes, it vanished.

Was that a guardian?! He thought eyes wide and disbelieving.

"Something wrong?" Yamato asked when he felt the tiny boy jump.

"…no, just my mind playing tricks on me." Taichi said after a moment. Yamato looked concerned, but said nothing more. After two days of travel, the had gone half way around the mountain, Taichi was freezing, they had stopped at the coldest part of the mountain to rest for the night. Taichi could feel the wind biting his neck, he lifted his furred hood and covered his head. He looked at Yamato who, though not really showing it in his face, was shivering violently to.

"Yamato, I'm very cold." Taichi said, not wanting to be a bother, but needed to say something. Yamato grabbed a very large Limino and wrapped Taichi and himself in it. Taichi had to sit on Yamato's lap, but he really didn't mind. For one he needed body heat, for two he had grown very attached to his mate. Taichi sighed and rested against yamato, letting his head fall onto Yamato's shoulder. He felt yamato sigh.

"How…do you like living with me?" Yamato asked. Taichi was chocked at first.

"I like it a lot. You're very kind, very sweet. Never felt happier then when I'm with you." Taichi mumbled, almost asleep. Yamato smiled and wrapped his arms around Taichi.

"I feel the same." Yamato felt Taichi's head shift peacefully, and realized his young lover had fallen asleep.

"Good night, my gift from Noscery." Yamato kissed the boys forehead, and watched the snow dance to the ground.

Oh my, I'm very sorry about this VERY short chapter, but it's the end of the year and there is so much homework and reviewing to do. I PROMISE you the next chapter will be very, very long. Thank you for understanding.

Figulin - It's a strong, tough meat that smell horrible, and tastes horrible to. Looks like liver but it's yellow.

Limino -Kind of like a giant fur hooded cape. Really cool.

Nami.
