Kel was startled to wake up in the arms of a man. She quickly turned her head to see who it was, and immediately relaxed. Dom was still asleep. A lock of his brown hair had fallen over his forehead, giving him the look of pure innocence. Kel reached up and brushed it away. As she did his cyan eyes opened, and he smiled.
"Morning, Kel," he said, giving her a kiss. Kel smiled. Gods she loved that man.
"Morning, Dom," she said, then kissed him back. Then she frowned. "I don't think Neal will like the fact that we stayed out in the castle all night. He'll probably think you 'deflowered' me." Dom chuckled.
"First, since when do you care what Neal thinks? Second, I think I'm allowed to spend the night outside with my fiancée. And third, if we want to, we can do that after the wedding." He winked. Kel blushed at the last sentence.
"I think we need to do a lot of planning for the wedding," she said, changing the subject to something that wouldn't make her flustered. Dom groaned. He hated planning things. "I think that it should be a small reception," she said. Dom shook his head.
"The whole Own will want to come. I don't think that they'd like it if we didn't invite them, and that's at least a hundred soldiers. Then don't forget the refugees at New Hope. Plus, you and I both have a huge family. "he reasoned. Kel smiled. He was right.
"Ok, then, where should it get held?" she asked." With all those people, a church would be too small. Perhaps we should do it at my parents house," she added. Dom looked thoughtful.
"I don't want to put all of that on your parents," he shifted so that his head rested on his arm. "What about the castle?" Kel shook her head.
"it's a long way from my parents place to the castle. How about we have it held at New Hope? Its right by Mindelan." She suggested. Dom though for a moment, then nodded. "OK, next on the list, bridesmaids and groomsmen. I think that Yuki should be the maid of honor, and Neal the best man."
"Ok, then we have Raoul because he hates receptions, Shane, James, and Marcus. (A/N: I made them up. They're supposedly his brothers.)
"Then we have Merric, Owen, Tobe, Roald, Seaver, Numair, Inness, Anders, and Conal. Ok, there are the groomsmen. Now for the Bridesmaids. We have Jessica, Alanna, Buri, Daine, Rose, Fanche, Lalasa, Adalia, Shinko, Oranie, Tilaine, and Allison (A/N: Jessica, Rose, and Allison are Dom's 'sisters' I made them up too)" Kel started to count. "Okay, we need one more groomsman. They're uneven. I'll ask Tobe whom he wants to bring. Everyone is at least eight years older than him." Dom nodded.
"Where is Tobe, by the way?" he asked. Kel grinned.
"He got adopted by Fanche and Saefas. They married last month."
"So I hear. Meathead," He added to Kel's unspoken question. "You know, there have been a lot of weddings lately. Fanche and Saefas last month, Yuki and Neal next week, and us in three weeks." He observed. Kel groaned.
"Don't remind me. I have to be fitted for a dress because I'm the maid of honor."
"I'm the best man. Well, that's ok for me. We get to walk down the aisle together, not to mention I'm the first to see you in your dress." Kel smiled.
"Now, what colors should we have to decorate with?"
"Blue and green," Dom answered and Kel nodded.
"Sounds good," she said, before falling back asleep. She was woken up by the sound of footsteps. Swearing in Yamani, she scrambled up, and tripped. Curse this kimono she thought, getting up again and nudging Dom awake. "Wake up Dom someone is coming," she whispered, leaning close to his ear. Dom's piercing eyes snapped open and he lifted his head up quickly. Unfortunately, this caused him to bump his head on Kel's. She fell on her back. Dom quickly gave her a hand up, then unsheathed his dagger, cursing himself with colorful words at his own stupidity. Crouching into his attack position, he waited. Kel flipped open her shukusen and held it, covering the bottom part of her face. They waited for what seemed like hours, although it was but few seconds. Suddenly, a huge black creature with a spiders body and a human head, leaped out of the trees. Kel's blood went cold. It was a spidren. She hid her hate behind her Yamani mask and calmly stepped foreword. The spidren saw them, and grinned, revealing sharp and silver teeth.
As it walked toward them, Dom jumped in front and sliced off one of it's legs before it could attack. It roared in surprise and pain. As it screamed, Kel walked up to it and sliced of another, then expertly tossed her fan with a flick of the wrist and beheaded it. It was only after the spidren fell did Kel realize that she was covered in blood. "So much for my favorite kimono," she thought, doing her best to wipe the green slime off her. No such luck.
"I think it's time to head to the palace, she said to Dom, smiling weakly. Dom nodded.
"Good idea," he confirmed, and hurriedly saddled his mount while Kel did the same. Dom swung up on his horse with grace and ease, as Kel did so with clumsyness. She was glad that the day was over so that she could take off that darn kimono. Glancing once more at the fallen spidren, so out of place in the peaceful clearing, she galloped off, Dom right behind her.
