"Kel, this is ridiculous!" Dom said. "You cannot go searching for this."

Kel frowned. "Why not? In war, you want to know what you are fighting against. This is probably going to become war, and this is the only way to find out what is coming."

Neal, standing quietly beside them, chose to speak up now. "Where do you plan to start looking?" He asked quietly. He was morose. War meant putting off his marriage even longer. It was set for the next week.

Kel sighed. "I don't know. But I have a lot of ground to cover. I have ideas of what I'm looking for. Big, angry, possibly army or really serious immortal."

Dom shook his head, pacing the room. "Kel, this is insane! You are leaving the safety of the city to search, by yourself, for an evil that you know nothing about. How do you know you'll be able to get back?"

"I don't." Kel said sternly. She stood up straight, looking forward. This was not an debate. They could not change her mind. "But I do know I can stop it if I need to."

Dom scoffed. "Kel, that is even worse! You said yourself it is possibly an army. You cannot defeat an army on your own!"

"I can find that there is an army before they find me. I would not get caught."

Neal shook his head. "Kel, Dom is right. You cannot just go off like this. We can't let you."

Kel frowned. "I'm not asking you to let me. I'm just going."

"Where are you going to start?" Neal asked her. He still looked as though he very much did not want her to go, but he was asking it less in a rhetoric to get her to stay, but more to find out her plan.

"I do not know yet. I plan to go where my heart tells me."

Neal looked at her sternly. "Just promise me you will make it back in one piece so I can get married with you here."

Kel looked sympathetic, but Dom looked bewildered. "Neal," Kel said, "I cannot be back in a week."

Neal smiled weakly. "I think this is worth the wait."

Kel hugged him, something she rarely did. 'Thank you, Neal. This was not something I expected from you."

He pulled back. "You didn't expect me to be nice?"

Kel shook her head quickly. "No, that's not what I meant-"

He grinned. "I get it. you just better hope I am as persuasive to Yuki as you were to me."

Kel grinned and hugged him again. She turned and looked at Dom. He still looked completely shocked that she was still going. "You have to understand it at some point." She said quietly. She kissed him.

He looked at her with pleading eyes. "Kel..." he said.

Kel shook her head. "Goodbye, Dom. I'll see you at Neal's wedding." She picked up her pack and walked out of the room.

Neal walked over and stood beside Dom, his hands in his pockets. They both stared out of the door and watched Kel walk away. She didn't look back at them.

"Do you think she'll make it back for your wedding?" Dom asked solemnly.

Neal sighed. "Not a chance."

.................................................................................

I know, I know, it was INCREDIBLY short. You don't need to tell me, I know. I made it so short because: I felt that I needed a new chapter here, and I felt it was fair because I just posted yesterday, and I plan on posting again tomorrow, if not today. So no complaints!!!

Rubber Duck: hey, I did say I figured it out at the end!!!

Trickster-daughter: damn you...I'm in my first year, and I failed!

AJ 4EVA: glad you liked it!

PsychoLioness13: of course!!!! Glad you liked it...

Anonymous:what? Sequel to story...I'm confused. Oh well. And yes, I do have parties and shopping and stuff...I also have lots of stuff to organize, dammit!

Lady Knight Wolfy: yay! I love doing that to people...

Dream Wall: heehee..yay!

Wake-Robin: aw, shucks. You tried.

Hi: thank you! That's actually what I really liked about this story...it was the one I could see remotely happening in the books. Well, some of my other story could, I guess...

Erkith: this is KD, yes...mm... Kraft dinner... yum... I digress. I enjoyed that line as well.

Lady of Masbolle: I'm good, thanks. I'm having some trouble with a runny nose and sneezing, but I think my dad was right...that moldy glass of milk is making me sick...I mean, what moldy glass of milk?!?! He he... no milk here... sorry about that. it's kinda narsty. (yes, the r was on purpose) and I'm so glad you love it.

Ossini: I'm sorry, here is my update.

Tanydwr: ha... I like that. something to do with magic? Or the Industrial Revolution? That's very good. You don't need to apologize for stuff like that with me. I live for random stuff like that.

Alright, I have made a decision. I am not posting another chapter today, because there is so much dust in my house I cannot breathe, and I must spend my day in a movie theatre...I mean outside. I am truly sorry. I will write as fast as I can tomorrow. I'm doe school so I can write every day, if not post every day.

Ok, I just need to put this in: HARRY POTTER 3 IS THE BEST MOVIE IN THE WORLD. DANIEL RADCLIFFE IS MY LOVE. That's all I have to say. I am going to see this movie so many times it's not even going to be funny anymore, even though the first two movies sucked and the books are getting worse and worse. I am just obsessed. Ron was even hot in some of it... (I'm in love with him too...but not Tom Felton...everyone I know is in love with him (draco) but I think the hair in this movie kinda bothered me... oh, and Hermione is BIG FAT SLUT! Not Emma Watson, Hermione. Just watch. If you have as sick a mind as most teenagers, you will see it.)

Wow, that little rant went on for almost as long as the story! Haha...jokes.

Well, farewell. I am off to view Shrek 2. I hear it rocks.

"I'd like to be buried Indian-style, where they put you up on a high rack, above the ground. That way, you could get hit by meteorites and not even feel it."

You know, I don't get that one. Indian style? What the hell?
