Kat: Ah, craps. that was a long review. O_o; But yes, Dustin is a bit of a
spaz...and telling him to shut up would get you no where. He'd just do
that "Aren't we feeling a bit angry" line. -_-;;;
Lisa: Well, thanks for the complement and the review. See you at school!
Ed: Oh, okay. ^^ I thought maybe they were all that weird...(But then I
said, hey! I remember one from a long time ago and it didn't seem nearly
that strange! What's up with these new episodes, huh? ¬¬; Er...I don't
think that made sense.) Cool, I want to see that other one! ^_^
And*quickly pulls up internet window and clicks the mouse a few times*
yes, I did get the review. Thanks! ^____^
Wow, I am in a disturbingly good mood...
Claire: Oh, sorry. You're a day late. Thanks, though! I think that
might(hopefully) prevent him from coming back for a bit, however. Thank
you! ^^

November 9, Edoras/Rohan
"Are you sure you must leave? You only just arrived."
Noin looked up at her friend from her position kneeling on the wooden
floor. She was gathering up the remnants of her supplies and items,
packing them all away in a small cotton sack, about a foot high and a light
beige with ties at the top to keep it securely closed and prevent its
contents from falling out. She was wearing the same light long sleeved
tunic and loose black pants that she had been wearing when she arrived
in the town, but was missing the deeply colored cloak.
"Yes, I feel I must," She turned her attention back to packing, checking
over everything and making sure it was all stored away.
"I have stayed too long already. Zechs will be worried," She said, a grin
playing over her face.
"I told him it wouldn't take too long; I forgot to account for time spent
here. I must be on my way."
She stood up, brushing her dark bangs out of her eyes and stooping
briefly to collect her coat and sword, both resting on a nearby table.
"I know."
Sally smiled, ruefully, "I'd be stupid to think you could stay longer."
She knelt, helping her friend securely fasten on her deadly blade to it's
swinging scabbard on her hip.
"There," She stood as her friend pulled on her traveling cloak and swung
her pack over her right shoulder.
"You're all ready. I assume Wufei is too?"
"I am what?" The man in question strode into the room, confidence
dripping off all his features.
"Are we leaving now?" He asked, adjusting the sword at his waist and
the short sleeve of his blue-grey tunic.
"Just about."
Noin turned to fully face her old friend.
"I hope to see you soon."
"Same here," Sally replied, embracing her, "Come back and visit anytime
you are traveling through this area. You're always welcome."
Wufei snorted.
"I thought you wanted an early start? Hurry up, you can say your
goodbyes as we walk."
Noin sent Sally a look clearly meaning 'men', then rolled her eyes as her
friend shrugged her shoulders and headed for the door.
Opening it, they entered the main room of Sally's house and continued
out, Wufei stopping briefly to reach down and pick up his satchel from
where he had left it on the floor. Once they were outside, Sally quickly
headed around to the back of her house, pulling open the stable doors
and emerging a moment later, two black horses following her.
Wufei saddled up in silence, ignoring the talking of the two women next
to him as they prepared the other horse. It wasn't long before he was
seated impatiently atop his equally impatient mount, waiting for his
traveling partner to be ready to leave.
"Goodbye, I'll come by and visit the next time I am on a mission here,"
Noin promised, mounting her jet black steed at last.
"I'll hold you to that," The other woman with honey blonde hair said,
winking at her and waving as the two horses started off in a trot,
heading down the main street of Edoras.
"Goodbye, Noin, Wufei!" Sally called, smiling as her friend turned around
in the saddle to wave back.
Riding down through the city, Wufei watched as the houses grew more
dilapidated and run down as they neared the more densely populated
areas near the main gates.
"It took you long enough," He muttered under his breath.
Noin heard and glared at him.
"She's my good friend, Wufei. I couldn't leave without talking to her, much
less saying goodbye."
When he ignored her indignant comment, she returned the favor, ignoring
him and instead watching the town slowly become alive as people set
about their daily lives.
It wasn't long before they reached the large wooden gates at the
entrance of the mighty city. As the doors slowly opened, Wufei waited
impatiently on his mount, staring impassively around him.
He blinked suddenly, doing a double take.
Admidst the sea of people, all looking somewhat alike; peasants, mostly,
all in work clothes and with golden blonde hair, stood one person who
was...different.
As Wufei watched, the man turned around, dark hair falling in his face.
Amber brown and icy blue eyes locked.
"Mr. Chang."
He turned around, startled, when the woman he was traveling with
spoke and elbowed him in the side.
"Come on."
She nudged her horse into a trot and set out through the open gate as
he cast a last glance over his shoulder, then hurried after her.
The dark haired man had disappeared.
***
It was about three hours later in the day when they saw the bird.
It wheeled by overhead in a great majestic show of silver-tinted feathers
and broad wings.
As it passed them by, Noin stopped, pulling back on the leather reins of
her horse and watched as it passed, seeming to expect something.
Wufei watched with great interest as she became worried after the
creature flew out of sight.
"Wufei?" Noin asked, a hint of worry in her otherwise unshaken voice,
"Where would you saw that bird was headed?"
He looked to the sky.
"I'd say the northeast."
"I knew it," He caught her mutter under her breath before turning around
in the saddle to face him.
"Hurry up. Something's wrong at home."

Oh, and this has no relevance to reviewing or this story, but if you read
Dragon Knights and have some extra time, I just started a new fic under
that category(Dragon Knights, that is.). If you feel like reading it, then
either go check my info or simply find it under Dragon Knights, general.
It's called "Fame and Fortune", by the way. If you want the summary,
either go find my extended/rambling version in my info, or go find the
story and read it from there.
Thanks!!
