"Just knock out another guard and disguise her. Make sure it's a female that you knock out, the uniforms are different, and make sure her hair is tucked up in the uniform hat."

Chapter 5: Jealous Lafiel

Lafiel and Jinto ran down the corridor. The had just knocked out a guard, sounded an alarm to alert everyone that they escaped, and then grabbed food from the kitchen. Now they were running down a corridor with two heavy bags of food each trying to make it to their ship.

"In now!" shouted Lafiel as they ran through the door to the hanger and to her ship. Jinto did not hesitate to follow her order and jumped in quickly, Lafiel at his heels.

The Abh ran over and slid into her seat. "We need docking clearance!" she shouted.

"Clearance granted!" sounded a childish voice.

"We can't leaver her behind!" exclaimed Jinto suddenly.

"Why not?" asked Lafiel.

"They'll kill her or something, for you know, helping us! We've gotta get her!"

"Then by all means go and get her, that is an order!"

Jinto ran out of the ship grumbling about why always him and headed towards where he thought might be the place that the girl was in so that she could give them clearance to leave.

After threatening a guard for the location and knocking out him and many others on the way Jinto made it to the room. It was a small room with a wide window and a control panel with tons of tiny buttons. Sitting in a chair near that was the girl with the special headset on that was needed for the job.

"Come on," Jinto hissed as he grabbed her. After dragging her pretty much the whole way to the Abh's ship Lafiel pulled the both of them inside of it.

"We're leaving, now!" she said, though neither Jinto nor the young girl were sitting down so the both landed nice and hard on the floor of the ship when it took off and they were knocked off balance.

"So what's your name?" Jinto finally asked the girl after they had been traveling for about an hour.

"Royal Princess Ling-Fa Lyrel," said the girl proudly.

"As in the daughter of the his highness Lyrel that we just escaped from?" asked Jinto with ever growing dread.

"Yup! My mother was the late Trivasal Lyrel!"

"L-Lafiel, d-does t-t-that m-mean t-that-" began Jinto.

"Oh, quit stuttering would you!"

"Doesthatmeanthatwe'regonnabeunderattackbytheLyrel's?" he asked all in a rush.

"Slow down, I can't understand a thing that you said.

Jinto took a few deep breaths and tried again. "Does that mean that we're gonna be under attack by the Lyre's?" he asked again.

"Yes, most likely it does. Though they can't do more than threaten us because we have Ling-Fa and they won't want to hurt her."

"I don't wanna go back," interrupted Ling-Fa suddenly. "I'll stay with you on your travels."

Lafiel nodded. "We'll go to a nearby planet that's off course of where we're going. While there we can get more supplies and whatever you'll need."

"Wait a minute, I though you said there were no nearby planets," accused Jinto.

"Well it will take three days to get there and thus it will put us a total of six days off course."

They landed, three long days later, on a planet that was called Asfania, in the middle of a small stretch of grass that had a some weird black thing around it with white lines on it. Lafiel couldn't find any areas to dock ships, so she figured that the area would have to due.

As they landed a bunch of girls (around twenty) that all had straight black hair and were wearing strange clothes crowded around the ship, keeping a small distance but looking at it curiously.

"You don't suppose that they've never seen a ship before?" asked Jinto nervously as Lafiel prepared to exit the ship.

"Who knows," casually said Lafiel as she and Ling-Fa exited the ship.

The crowd of girls, who were all wearing most curious outfits consisting of what Jinto thought to be a very short pair of navy shorts and white t-shirts, suddenly turned and crowded around the Abh and young girl, staring curiously at Lafiel's outfit, blue hair and ears. Jinto hesitantly followed Lafiel off of the ship, only to find the crowd of girls surrounding him.

"He's cute!" squealed one in a high-pitched voice.

"Totally hot!" said another in a deeper voice.

Jinto tried to back off as the multitude of girls tried to hug him, kiss him, or ask him out. Lafiel, who was watching, looked what one would describe as "completely outraged" or "totally furious", though she was doing her best to hide it.

"Lafiel!" pleaded a rather pathetic sounding Jinto.

"Hmph!" grunted the Abh as she took the princess' hand and led her away. "Come on, we'll go on our own!"

"Somehow," though Jinto, "I think she's jealous."

"Who are all of you?" asked Jinto.

"We're the students here at Madam Tsugara's Boarding School for Young Ladies," said one of the girls, saying her school name in an overly high-pitched, false voice.

"Truthfully we're the best PE class that this school is ever gonna have!" said another.

"We make up the volleyball team and we just coming out here to run laps on the track and then volley the ball," said another.

"Somehow you don't all act like 'young ladies'," said Jinto, and then realizing that he may have made them angry he begged, "please don't take offense by that!"

One of the girls smiled and stood with her right hand on her hip. "That, my friend, was a compliment. We make up the only twenty girls in the school that don't want to become prissy young ladies, that's why we're the ones good at PE and the best that this school will ever see! (The other five hundred-ish girls that go here are all too afraid of getting dirty and breaking their nails... so they practically don't do anything other than look through beauty magazines or boys all day...)"

Looking at the girls Jinto realized that their clothes weren't completely clean, that their white shirts had dirt over them, that they had dirt on their faces, legs, arms and so forth.

"We've already been practicing down there in the muddy field for the past three hours," said one of the girls, explaining their dirtiness of the moment. "The other girls wouldn't enter the field to bug us to come to morning classes. We've got a game tomorrow so we skipped."

"Who was that weird, blue-haired, pointy eared girl and what's that?" asked one of the girls while pointing at the ship.

"Umm, that girl was an Abh with a fierce temper and that's a ship that we fly through space with," he answered nervously. "This planet doesn't know about all of this stuff yet!" he mentally panicked. "If anyone notices this whole world is gonna have a field day making us the newest attraction in a zoo!"

Lafiel and Ling-Fa were faring much better than Jinto. Both had gone to a small, out-of-the-way alley and were shopping. The alley that they were in was known only to a few people and the main place where anyone from other planets and such were able to go and not make a big scene. To top it off the alley had numerous different stores that all accepted numerous different types of currency. The country that they landed in was, as one shopkeeper said, the equivalent of Earth's Japan, Seriath's Sanqisita, Rems' Tangokaku and so forth...

Three hours later the Abh and princess (who was of a race called the Fenga's) returned to the ship with their arms full of bags that contained clothes for the Fenga, special wine for the Abh, and many other numerous things. Jinto and the crowd of girls from earlier were no where to be found.

A/N: Ha ha! So the mysterious kid now has a name and a race! Out favorite Abh is ticked at Jinto because she's jealous, and Jinto and twenty high school girls are all missing! Review and I'll try to update soon. (Your author here listens for all sarcastic remarks and stuff like "she said that the last four times 'round...") Well review please!
