Keeper of the Light

Chapter Fourteen

By Chang Liko

Disclaimer: I own nothing. Only Keeper and Shiana.

Smiling widely, Quatre ran forward and enveloped his sister in a hug, exclaiming, "Shiana! It's really you!"

Giggling, Shiana replied, "Of course it's really me, Quatre! Who else would it be?" Hugging her brother back, Shiana whispered, "I missed you, brother."

"I missed you, too, sister. Welcome back," Quatre replied.

Letting go of her, Quatre stepped back as he saw Trowa come forward hesitantly.

Raising his hand slowly, Trowa gently caressed Shiana's cheek before pulling his into his arms, burying his face in the crook of her neck as silent tears streamed down his cheeks, wetting her dress.

Wrapping her arms around Trowa, her own tears coursing down her cheeks, she smiled and whispered, "I missed you, my love."

Raising his head, Trowa smiled down at her, saying, "I missed you, too. I love you."

With that, he captured her lips in a soul touching kiss, one so sweet, that everyone there had to smile happily.

"WOO!! Tro-man has a girlfriend!" Duo exclaimed, laughing.

Pulling away from Shiana, Trowa smiled, saying, "I'll be right back." Turning to Duo, Trowa grinned widely, shouting, "Silent Storm!"

As Duo's eyes widened in horror, thousands of needles of water came at him full force. Frantically, he shouted, "Wind Barrier!" The barrier barely made it up in time. As it is, his skin got seared by several of the sharp needles of water, but he managed to escape the worst of it.

As the water attack stopped, Duo cautiously let the barrier down. Glaring at Trowa, only to see him grinning, he turned to Serena and complained, "Sensei Moon! Are you going to allow that!? He attacked me when I wasn't ready!"

Shrugging, Serena hid a smile, saying, "You will not always have time to prepare before you are attacked."

Eyes wide, Duo stared at Serena shocked before turning away and darting into the air, his huge wings flapping furiously.

Rolling her eyes at Duo's exit, Serena turned to Shiana and said, "I apologize for Duo's lack of manners. It seems that we should have added lessons in manners to the list of training. For Duo at least."

Laughing, Shiana shook her head, saying, "That's alright. I don't mind the teasing."

"I guess that there isn't much choice to put up with it. Otherwise, neither of them would be alive for very long, would they?" Serena questioned, laughing.

Nodding, Shiana grasped Trowa's hand, smiling, as she replied, "That is true. Besides, I am used to it. I had to put up with Quatre as a little brother, didn't I? And despite how he acts now, he was quite the prankster. It actually got rather annoying at times."

Blushing, Quatre mock glared at his sister, stating, "Well, I wasn't the one who'd always get me in trouble with Father and Mother! If I remember correctly, every time you played a prank on Mother or Father, I'd be the one getting in trouble, because Mother and Father knew that I played pranks on everyone, but they didn't know that you played just as many as me!"

Laughing, Shiana inclined her head in acknowledgement of truth. Leaning up to kiss Trowa's cheek, she said to Serena, "I'll let you guys get back to training. I'm going to explore the island a little. I'll see everyone later." With that, she let go of Trowa's hand and stepped back, transforming into a giant winged dragon with pale golden scales. Taking off into the air, she disappeared within moments.

Grinning, Heero nodded to Serena before disappearing.

Drawing in a deep breath, Serena turned to the guys and started speaking, "Now, about that little fact that I told Duo." Glancing around, she frowned, realizing Duo hadn't come back yet. Rolling her eyes, she glanced to Trista, asking, "Trista? Bring Duo back please."

Nodding, Trista waved her staff, which had appeared in her hand and there was Duo, a grape in his hand, confusion on his face. Quickly eating the grape, he grinned, saying, "Well! What's everyone standing about for? Shouldn't we be training?"

Rolling her eyes, Raye built up an attack and shot it at Duo, who managed to block it with his wings, grinning as smoke rose from them. "I was prepared that time."

Rolling her eyes, Raye motioned for Hotaru and Wufei to follow her and stalked off to start training.
