Note: Hi again! I like this chappie…romancin' begins! Oh yeah!!! The next chappie will be about Flameshipping. I'm sorry this story hasn't been updated for ages, but I've just finished my exams, and now, my parents are restricting me a lot from my computer cos of my marks…and I'm sorry about the last chapter I wrote.
Apparently, I was going a bit off the Golden Sun storyline by writing Kay as one of Garet's younger siblings, instead of being his older sister. Sorry! I didn't play the game as much as my brother, and he also says Kay is older ("I got it from the game" he says). And Piers' parents are supposed to be dead. Okay, I didn't know that either! Sorry! And the Lemurian King's name is Hydros…I DIDN'T KNOW THAT EITHER!!! And I know the wedding was rather short and crap. I'm really sorry about that too. Accept my deepest apologies. Because the idea of Mia as the princess of Lemuria isn't too popular, I'm not going to write more about it.
Thank you for the reviews, and for the great response when I asked about Mudshipping, etc! Thanks especially to Black Demom567 for the great email telling me about all the shippings.
Now, over to my new friends…

Golden Sun: The Fight for the Stars
Chapter 4: Hunted – will love blossom?
A month later…Isaac and co returns to Vale. Mia decides to stay in Vale instead of taking her role as the Lemurian princess. She then went to Imil for a while to say goodbye to Megan and Justin, then came back. At the moment, Isaac and Garet are wandering outside Vale, hunting in the forest…
"Half a day, and we haven't even seen a deer!" Garet complained.
"Oh, stop your belly-aching!" Isaac hushed. (If you've watched Beyblade, then lol.) The two adepts then heard some rustling to their left.
"Did you hear that?" Garet asked quietly.
"Yeah." Isaac whispered. "It's in the bushes over there." They crept closer towards the noise, when a large wild wolf jumped out, snarling. "Garet, watch out!" Isaac pushed his best friend out of the way just in time before the wolf hit him. But instead, it whacked Isaac right on the chest, and he flew through the air; his head hit a tree and he blacked out.
"Isaac!" Garet bellowed. He cast Dragon Fume, which made the wolf roar with anger and pain. It ran off hastily. "Isaac! Isaac! Are you alright?" Garet ran to his best friend. "Say something!"
But Isaac was unconscious. There were a few deep gashes and scratches on his face, and his head was bleeding heavily where he had hit the tree.
"Oh god, Isaac." Garet panicked, and picked him up. "Hold on, I'll take you to Mia." He ran out of the forest towards Vale.
In Vale…
Mia was sitting in an armchair, sewing some of Garet's torn clothes, when she felt an immense sharp pain in her chest, and she threw her head forward in pain, like she was going to be sick. She clutched her chest, and tried to breathe. "Why does it hurt so much this time?" she thought. "And who is it that's hurt?" Mia dropped the clothes and ran out.
Five minutes later…
"Mia! Mia!" Garet shouted as he entered Vale. Mia was already running towards them.
"Who's hurt?" Mia asked, panting. "I felt such a sharp pain!" then she caught sight of Isaac in Garet's arms. "Isaac!" she cried.
"Yeah, he's in a bad condition." Garet said grimly. "Please try and heal him!"
Mia immediately placed both her hands on Isaac and cast Ply Well. The scratches and cuts on his face slowly disappeared, as did the large gash on his forehead. "We must take him inside." Mia said calmly, but her eyes showed her anxiety. "I have to see if he was injured anywhere else. And you can tell me where he was hit and what happened."
Garet followed the healer into Isaac's house. Kyle had gone away to Contigo to pick up some things, and Dora was all alone, knitting in the living room. "Isaac!" she cried as the two eighteen-year-olds rushed in with her son. "What happened to him?"
Garet quickly gave her a brief summary, and the three went upstairs to Isaac's bedroom. Garet placed his friend gently on the bed. Then he launched into the story as Mia took off Isaac's breastplate and top half of his tunic. She blushed a little when she saw his well-toned, muscular chest, but gasped as the large, purple bruise in the centre of his chest came into view. "Is that where the wolf hit him?" Mia asked.
"Yep." Garet nodded. "He was trying to save me. It's all my fault…" he hung his head.
"Don't blame yourself." Dora soothed.
"If I get my hands on that…that thing, I'll kill it!" Mia seethed quietly, her hands balling into tight fists, and eyes burning with blue fire. Dora and Garet looked in surprise at Mia. They had never seen her so angry before. It was like looking at Jenna! And she never talked about murdering other people or creatures, because she was so shy and loving.
Mia seemed not to notice, and immediately began to cast her strongest Ply Well. It was enough to make the bruise disappear. She covered him up with his duvet, and calmed down, saying, "We should let him rest now. I'll stay here and look after him."
"No Mia, I will." Dora insisted.
Mia shook her head. "No, I'm the healer, and if anything bad happens to Isaac, especially if he takes a turn for the worst, I'll know what to do."
Dora nodded. As they left, she turned to Mia, "Thank you for saving my son's life."
"Isaac's one of my best friends." Mia said, "I would do anything to help him." Dora smiled at the touching answer and left.
For the next few hours, Mia watched over Isaac carefully. It was already getting dark when Dora came up to see how her son was. "How is he?" she asked quietly.
"Fine. He'll wake up soon, and he's recovering quickly."
"That's great." Dora sat down on a chair. There was a long silence. "You love Isaac, don't you Mia?" she suddenly spoke up.
Mia looked up at her in surprise, very taken back by her forward question. She remained silent for a short while, and then sighed, "Yeah, I do."
"Since when?"
"Since the moment I set my eyes on him…" Mia smiled. "And that was a long, long time ago…"
Flashback
Mia rushed into the house of the old man and woman. "Sorry, sorry, for the delay!"
The old lady (or is it the man? I dunno, just say the lady…sorry if it's wrong) looked up from her sick husband's bedside and smiled anxiously. "Hello Mia dear. Don't be sorry, I'm grateful you had the time to come at all. Please see him, he is so ill…" she turned to the old man lying in his bed, who was breathing heavily. Mia rushed over (now this bit is made up, since I've never played the game, and I'm guessing this is what happens. The rest I got from the guidebook.) and began to cure him (just make up your own way of how she does that…). Suddenly, the door burst open, and in walked three people. Mia didn't look up, thinking they were the old people's relatives or friends, and she was too busy trying to concentrate on what she was doing.
"Who are you?" the old woman jumped back in surprise. "I've never seen you before, you're not from Imil!" Mia sighed. Okay, so not a friend or relative…She looked up and her eyes locked with a pair of beautiful, sorrowful, lavender-coloured eyes.
Time seemed to stop and she couldn't breathe. The two stared at each other for what seemed to be eternity, until one the three coughed, "Ahem…", and she dropped her gaze, breaking the trance.
"Er…hello…" Mia smiled nervously, careful not to make eye contact with "the one". She took in his build, however. He had messy, browny-yellow hair, which looked almost golden, and a pale, tired face, yet so handsome and brave, but showed almost invisible signs of sadness. He was quite tall, taller than her about eight centimetres, and had a pale pink complexion. He wore a lavender tunic and trousers, which suited his eyes, a small red and gold breastplate (this is all from the Golden Sun guidebook), a leather belt, leather gloves and thick leather boots; a golden cape scarf (I didn't know what to call it….) was also tied around his neck, the small part left was dangling at the front, the large part floating behind him like a cloak (that's the best description I can give about his cape scarf). He had a sword, strapped firmly to his scabbard on his back.
She moved on to inspect the others. One was tall and gangly, towering above all, even his golden-haired companion. He wore a thick, brown tunic with green and gold, which showed his large muscles beneath, and under the tunic was a dark brown shirt. He wore a pair of lilac trousers; like the golden head, he had boots, gloves and a belt. The sword, instead, was strapped to his left side. Mia's gaze travelled to his face. His hair was fiery orangey-red, and he had matching, determined and friendly eyes. His face was brave, strong and had a hint of amusement, like he took everything as a joke.
Finally, Mia studied the third companion, taking in his facial features first. He had blonde hair, which was too long, and went down his neck and shading his friendly, all-knowing lilac eyes. He was obviously younger than the other two, being a lot shorter than both, and his build showed it too, but his face illustrated maturity. He wore a lilac tunic, matching his eyes, and a pair of maroon trousers. On top of his tunic, he wore a short-sleeved, grass green and gold overcoat with a hood and short cape up to his waist. He also wore boots and a belt, but no gloves, and he carried a large staff, about his height, which was red and gold.
Being caught off guard by the golden head the first time, Mia snapped out of it and regained her senses. "They could be intruders, warriors wanting to take over Imil. Well, we'll see about that…" she thought.
"Who are you?" Mia asked in a dangerous voice, and finished healing the old man, who didn't wake up, but slept on, now peaceful. The old lady watched the three companions fearfully. Before they could answer Mia's question, she continued coldly, "If you're here to take over Imil, then think again, because I would risk my life to protect it. You probably wonder how a young girl like me could stand up to three, strong warriors, but believe me, do not underestimate me. Never judge a book by its cover. I have a strong, offensive side not many have seen, and lived to tell the tale. But if you are friends," Mia continued before the three could try and interrupt, "then I welcome you with open arms to my village. If you dare deceive us though, heed my previous warning. I---"
Suddenly, a bright blue light flashed from afar, shining into the house through a small window. Everyone turned to see where was its origin, and Mia found herself looking at the Mercury lighthouse. "The lighthouse!" she cried, forgetting her brave speech to the three warriors. She paused, immobile, then started to run towards the door, "Alex!" she called again, and ran out.
End of flashback
Mia opened her eyes, smiling a little from her vivid memory. She had met up with Isaac and his party in the lighthouse, and from there, she had joined them. Then, when she found out Alex had betrayed her and had left with Saturos and Menardi, she decided to join Isaac's party for good. This she had never regretted to this very day. But thinking about Alex's betrayal made her feel a little sad again.
"I think you're very good at hiding your feelings, Mia." Dora said, looking at her son. "I haven't noticed until today. You don't give anything away."
"And that's how I want to keep it." Mia snapped a little sharply. Dora looked at her in surprise and confusion. Mia shook her head and cast her eyes down, "I-I'm sorry…I shouldn't have snapped at you."
"It's alright Mia, but why?" Dora asked gently.
"Because…I don't think I deserve him. I'm not good enough for him. And I'm sure he doesn't return my feelings…and…I don't think I'm ready for another relationship again…"
"Again?"
"Yeah…again…" Mia sighed, and hesitated, "Me and Alex were in love before. Or I think I was in love with him. Then he betrayed me, betrayed Megan and Justin, and betrayed Imil. He betrayed all of us. And that hurt so much…I'm not saying that Isaac would do that, it's just that I'm still hurting, and I'm not ready…"
Dora nodded, "I'm sorry for bringing this up."
"It's okay." Mia smiled softly. "Anyway, if Isaac doesn't return my feelings when I'm ready, I'll be happy enough knowing and seeing him with the person he truly loves."
Dora stood up and placed a hand on Mia's shoulder. "Mia, I know my son. And I'm sure, if you tell him, he'll prove you wrong. Isaac may not know it, but I can see by the way he looks at you, he does return your feelings. It's not too late to tell him. And you are definitely good enough for him, Mia."
"Thank you." Mia whispered, tears welling up in her blue eyes.
"If you wanna stay the night, there is a spare room next door." Dora offered.
"Thanks, but I need to stay with Isaac in case he wakes."
"Okay. Call me if you need me." Dora left the room.
Mia sighed. "Should I tell him, or not?" she asked herself aloud, and yawned. Looking at Isaac, she smiled a little. "Maybe one day." Carefully, she put her head on the bed, next to Isaac's head, and her hand slipped into his. Slowly, Mia's eyes closed, and soon, she was fast asleep.
Isaac opened his eyes, which glowed bright in the dark. He had heard everything, having woken up quite a long time ago. He looked at Mia's sleeping face right next to his, and blushed a little. "I can't believe Mia has feelings for me. Of all people, she likes me. I mean, why? Do I deserve her love?" he thought. "And what Mum says…do I like her?" His hand tightened protectively around Mia's hand, and looked at her once more. "I do, don't I?" he told himself. "I've been denying it for so long, I didn't realise." He placed a small kiss on Mia's forehead, and went back to sleep, smiling, "Sweet dreams Mia."
The next day…
Dora yawned, and got up. "Isaac!" she remembered, rushing to her son's room. She ran in, and she saw Mia and Isaac sleeping peacefully. She smiled, and went downstairs to make breakfast.
Mia awoke as Dora closed the door behind her. She saw her hand in Isaac's hand, and blushed, slowly prying it away. Then, Mia remembered her dream. She was with Isaac, and she had heard something like "sweet dreams". She giggled, and looked at Isaac, who was peaceful, a small, happy smile graced his lips. He looked well, and better already.
Quarter of an hour later…
Jenna, Ivan and Sheba burst into Isaac's house, dragging Garet in tow, and frightening Dora so much she nearly cut off her own finger. She came out from the kitchen. "Is Isaac alright?" Jenna demanded without saying hello.
"Hi Dora." Ivan, Sheba and Garet chorused.
"Hi." Dora smiled. "Yes, Isaac's fine. "He's upstairs sleeping, and Mia's looking after him.
"Mia!?!" Jenna cried.
"She's still here?" Garet looked surprised.
"You never said she was there!" Jenna turned on Garet.
"W-w-w-well, you never asked!" Garet trembled visibly. Jenna rushed upstairs. "And I forgot." He added once she was out of sight.
"You forget a lot of things, Garet." Ivan sighed dryly, "Like the fact you only remembered Isaac had been injured until this morning, and then told us!" Sheba giggled.
"Hey! I didn't mean to, I---" but he was silenced by Sheba, who grabbed him by the collar of his tunic, and dragged him up the stairs, followed by Ivan, who was grinning at his fellow Jupiter adept and best friend. "When did Sheba get so strong that she could drag me?" Garet whined.
Sheba and Ivan ignored him. "Sorry for frightening you Dora, and I apologise for some of us for the rude interruption. We'll go see how Isaac is. Bye." Sheba smiled, and continued to drag Garet.
In Isaac's bedroom
Mia was watching Isaac when Jenna burst in. She ran to Isaac, calling, "Isaac! Isaac!"
Mia tried to silence her, "Shush, Jenna, he needs some rest!" but it was too late. Isaac opened his eyes groggily.
"Mia?" he asked, blinking the sleep out of his eyes, and trying to adjust to the bright sunlight. He turned to face the Mercury adept at his side, not noticing Jenna on her left.
"Yeah, it's me." Mia extended her hand forward and gripped Isaac's hand. "How are you feeling? Better?"
Isaac smiled at her, "Yeah, I feel great, thanks to you. You saved my life again. I couldn't thank you enough…"
As they continued to talk, Mia forgot about Jenna's presence, so absorbed in looking at Isaac's lavender eyes, and Isaac still hadn't seen her either, since his eyes were only for Mia. Jenna slowly backed away. "Why?" she thought, "Why did he say her name when I was the one who called for him? Has what I feared going to really happen? Please, let it not be true!" her hazel brown eyes filled with tears, and she was going to run out of the room, when Sheba, who was dragging Garet, and followed by Ivan, entered the room.
"Hello Isaac! Looks like you're better!" Sheba smiled broadly, "And I brought you a little present…" she added, lifting Garet off the ground, so he looked like he was hanging his collar of his tunic on a peg. He struggled, but Sheba's hold was as strong as steel. Mia and Isaac burst out laughing.
"Hey Garet! You do know that you're being held hostage by a girl younger than you by two years and is the youngest adept!" Isaac chuckled heartily.
Garet grumbled, "Yeah, I do know. And it's not funny!"
Mia giggled, "Yes it is!"
While they chatted amiably, Jenna slowly, once again, backed away. Sheba groaned, and dropped Garet, who landed with a loud crash and shook her fingers. "Can't hold him for too long." She explained, "Too heavy." The others laughed.
Garet moaned, "Owww…" he noticed Jenna staring into space and edging away. "Jenna? Are you alright?" he frowned. Jenna seemed not to hear him, or ignored him, and ran out of the room. "Jenna…" he murmured softly.
"Hey, I haven't seen Jenna. Is she here?" Isaac asked. As if on cue, Sheba and Ivan felt a wave of unhappiness over them, but they didn't know the source. Usually, they didn't feel the emotions, just the thoughts, unlike Mia, and this time, the blow took them by complete surprise; they stumbled, bumped into each other and fell onto the floor.
"Sheba! Ivan! Are you alright?" Mia stood up, startled. A second later, she also felt the sadness, and shivered.
"Mia?" Isaac asked, worried.
"I'm…fine…" Mia shuddered again, and went to help Ivan and Sheba up. The subject of Jenna was currently forgotten.
"Owwww…." Sheba groaned. "Thanks Mia." She dusted invisible specks of dirt of her tunic and helped Mia get Ivan up.
"What was that?" Ivan asked.
"I dunno…" Sheba murmured.
"I felt it too…" Mia said softly.
"Felt what?" Isaac and Garet asked simultaneously.
"I think we all felt…sadness. Some one is extremely sad at the moment. But because me and Sheba aren't supposed to feel others emotions, just their thoughts, I dunno where this sadness is coming from…" Ivan mused. He looked at Mia. "What about you Mia? Do you know who is hurting so badly, that even me and Sheba could feel it?"
Mia cast her eyes down, uncomfortable. Yes, she had a very good idea who was sad, but she didn't know why, and she didn't want to worry them all, so she shook her head, and mentally noted to herself to go see that person later. "No…sorry."
As the three adepts lapsed into silence, too busy thinking about what they had felt, Garet stood up and left, Isaac forgotten as he went to seek Jenna. He waved at Isaac, made a few silent hand movements so he could understand where he was going, and left. Which left Isaac to ponder. "I'll tell Mia tonight. Before I chicken out…"
Garet had no luck in finding Jenna though. She had actually hidden herself in her, Isaac and Garet's childhood play area, which was close to Vale, and a piece of very beautiful land. In the afternoon, after Isaac had fully recovered, Mia also went to seek her reddish-brown haired friend, but with no avail. Isaac decided to go shopping for something with Ivan and Sheba. The rest of Vale was quiet and peaceful, but meanwhile, there were two little people plotting…
"Aaron! Keep it down! Or someone will hear us!" Kay hissed to her younger brother.
"Okay, okay!" Aaron whispered back. "I can't help it if these stairs are creaky!"
The two siblings crept up the stairs. "So, which room is Felix's?" Kay asked.
"That one." Aaron pointed at the first room on the left.
Kay nodded, and they softly crept in. Both surveyed the room. It was pristine, neat and organised (completely opposite to Jenna's), with pale green walls and a forest green carpet. "Um…green is obviously his favourite colour…"
"And I bet he hasn't heard of the word "dust"." Aaron giggled quietly.
"Hang on, I though we were going to the bathroom. Why are we here then?" Kay asked, confused.
"Cos Felix has his own en-suite bathroom, lucky thing." Aaron grinned, creeping to the door attached on the other side of the room.
"When did you come and check?" Kay asked, following him.
"A few days ago." Aaron smirked as the door opened, and the two crept in. Once again, the place was tidy and clean. Kay rolled her eyes.
Aaron started to rummage around the ordered shelves, while Kay produced a bottle of pale green liquid out of her tunic. "Have you found it yet Aaron?" Kay looked around, her fiery red eyes darting; alert in case Felix or anyone else returned.
"Yes!" Aaron punched the air when he found a bottle of liquid with a similar shade of green as Kay's bottle. "Found it at last." It had a white label on it saying "Aloe Vera shampoo".
"Hurry!" Kay ushered. "Open it and pour it down the drain!" she commanded. Aaron did so, and Kay opened her own bottle and transferred it to the empty one. Aaron closed it and placed it where it rightly belonged.
The two were out of the house in less than two minutes. Kay breathed a huge sigh of relief as they put some distance between them and Jenna and Felix's home. "Where was the whole family anyway?" Aaron asked his sister.
"Well, I think Jenna was upset about something and had gone off hiding somewhere, her parents went out for dinner and Felix…well, I have no idea where he was…good thing he wasn't at home."
"Yeah, we have finally succeeded after a year of plotting. I can't believe we were caught the first time." Aaron looked triumphant. The two walked off happily and gleefully, gladly awaiting the days to come.
That night, Felix got home at about ten. He had tried to hurry back earlier, but since he was a good few leagues away in a forest pondering, it had taken him a long time to get home. It was because of his Mars adept sister that he was back early. He had sensed something was wrong about her was in the morning, and he intended to find out what. When it came to her, he was mightily overprotective. He was also really overprotective over Sheba, and treated her like a little sister, though he didn't show it as much.
He couldn't find Jenna at home. His parents were already asleep, so he set out to look for her. (Don't worry, Kay and Aaron's prank does succeed in the end.)
Meanwhile…
Mia gave up looking for Jenna. She couldn't find her anywhere. It was also getting late, and Mia's eyes were slowly drooping from exhaustion. She bumped into Isaac as she neared her house. "Well, hello Isaac." Mia forced a smile.
"Are you alright Mia?" Isaac asked her, frowning, "You look tired. Were you looking for someone?"
"No! Of course not." Mia replied, smiling even more to hide her worry. "Anyway, are you feeling better? What are you doing out so late?"
"Yes, I feel wonderful, and I'm out here looking for you!" Isaac's face split into a large beam, his anxiety forgotten.
"Why, do you need me for something?" Mia asked, curious.
"Well, yeah…if it's alright with you, Mia, will you follow me. I assure you, this won't take more than ten minutes, honest!" Isaac encouraged her.
"Oh…okay." Mia nodded, trying to figure out what Isaac was doing.
Isaac led her quickly to a hidden area, which also happened to be where Jenna was, hiding in a tree near the grassy entrance. She was mumbling softly when the two went in, and Jenna silenced herself, watching the girl with resentment and fearing the worst. "Wow!" Mia gasped, looking at the beautiful landscape. A clear, blue waterfall was on the left, full of swimming fishes, and flowers were blooming everywhere, of all assortments and colours. Trees full of ripe fruit towered above them. "What is this place Isaac?"
"This is the place where me, Jenna and Garet used to play when we were kids. Isn't it great?" Isaac grinned, leading Mia to the middle of the garden. "It was like our secret den. Nobody else knows about it."
"Why are you sharing this with me then?" Mia asked softly, looking away from Isaac's intense gaze.
Isaac stepped forward and grasped Mia's hands in his. "Because…" Jenna closed her eyes and clasped her hands to her ears. She didn't want to hear this.
"Yes?" Mia cocked her head to one side, a little confused.
"I…er…." Isaac stuttered, "I-I-I…er…oh, what the hell!" and he swooped down and crushed Mia's lips with his with a breath-taking kiss, that took her by such surprise, she almost fainted. Jenna couldn't help but peep and when she saw what she saw, she felt thoroughly sick.
Isaac broke the kiss after a minute or so. Both adepts panted, trying to catch their breaths back. Mia avoided Isaac's eyes again. "What I wanted to say was Mia, that I…I love you." He stared at his boots, afraid of her answer.
"Isaac…I…" Mia stammered. Isaac looked at her to see her eyes full of tears, and his heart broke.
"Please don't c--" Isaac began, but was stopped when she did burst into tears and embraced him tightly.
"I love you too!" Mia sobbed, not letting go, tears falling rapidly onto Isaac's tunic and dampening it. Isaac smiled, and hugged her back, stroking her blue, cerulean hair.
"I'm glad." Isaac said. "I'm glad."
Jenna couldn't take it any more. She jumped swiftly and silently from the tree and ran away from the area, tears forming in her eyes, just like Mia, but her tears were of pain and sadness. Mia felt something pang in her heart, but she was so happy, she ignored it, and Isaac thought his instincts told him someone was there, but after seeing nothing, he dismissed it.
The couple stood in the moonlight, embracing each other. But far away, someone else was weeping her heart out.
Okay, what did you think, eh? Please read and review!
