(Chapter 14: An adventure and two new people)
In the morning, when Kila woke up, she felt a sharp pain in her wounds. 'Well, I guess that I am really only a halfling,' Kila thought to herself. As she got up, Kila looked around. She found Hiei sleeping on a windowsill, Yoko on chair, and Rei in his bishie-ball. Kila smiled as she walked into the living room to find that the only other person awake was Narina.
"Hey," Kila said, sitting down next to her friend. "What's up?"
"I'm worried about you, Kila," Narina said, looking over at Kila. "You keep getting into fights and you have your brother after you. I know that this sounds weird, but I think I might leave for a while with Sarana. We were thinking of going on a little adventure all our own."
Kila nodded. "That is understandable. You can leave any time you want to. You just have to tell me about half an hour in advance," Kila said with a kind smile.
"Really?! Well, we were going to leave this morning, if that's alright," Narina said.
Kila nodded. "Like I said, you can leave whenever, you just have to tell me and give me a call ever once in a while."
Narina stood up and hugged her, then dashed off to the room she shared with Sarana. Sarana came in and hugged Kila as well before they both checked out of the hotel and left. They looked up at Kila's window and waved as they walked off.
Kila smiled slightly. 'Well, that's two less that I have to worry about. I know that Kuroi will probably do something to get me to fight him, like capture one of my friends or something, so I just hope that Yusuke, Kenshin, InuYasha, and Kurama will protect them.'
"Is something on your mind, Kila?" Kat asked, coming into the room. Kila stood up and smiled slightly, shaking her head.
"Naw. I was just thinking about where we should go next," Kila lied easily. Kat nodded and sat down. Jade and Maria came in a little later with Jess right behind them. Danny came out about half an hour later when everyone was eating breakfast except Kila. She was sitting in a corner, staring at the wall.
Yoko and Hiei were watching her with worried expressions. Rei was eating as well, but also watching his trainer.
Just then, someone threw a stone at the window and it hit the window nearest Kila, shattering the glass and a few pieces lodged themselves in Kila's skin.
Kila stood up and went to the bathroom. She yanked the pieces out, not even wincing. She put bandages on her wounds and came back out of the bathroom.
"I'm going for a walk," Kila said, walking out of the room. Rei, Hiei, and Yoko followed her.
Kila accidentally bumped into someone while she was walking. "Sorry," She mumbled, looking up into startling green eyes. The boy had black hair that looked like Aoshi's and was taller than her.
"Hey. Do you want to battle?" The boy asked, spotting Hiei behind Kila.
"Why not? I'm bored and I have nothing better to do," Kila said following the boy.
They reached an uninhabited part of town and the boy sent out a BlackRose (I know nothing whatsoever about this bishie. My friend Cody told me about him. And I know that he is from the .Hack series.)
Hiei and BlackRose battled, ending in Hiei winning. The boy handed over some money and was about to walk away when Kila said, "Hey! I don't even know your name!"
"It's Toca," The boy said before walking off. Kila smiled a little bit before heading back to the hotel. Koto was in the trees above Kila and jumped down onto her shoulder.
"Kila?" Hiei asked, walking next to his sister.
"Yeah, Hiei?"
"Where did Narina and Sarana go?"
Kila stiffened a little bit. "I don't know," She said at length. "All I know is that they are somewhere, away from here, on their own adventure."
Hiei nodded and they walked the rest of the way back in silence.
(A few hours later)
After lunch, they had decided to head for New Tokyo. As they were traveling through a small forest, then saw a girl sitting under a tree, apparently asleep. Kila looked at her oddly and smiled slightly, whispering, "Fizban...."
"What?" Jade asked, looking at Kila.
"Nothing. She just reminds me of a character in a book series that was named Fizban who... Well, never mind." Kila looked over at the girl one more time and thought she saw a slit of an eye under the eyelashes. Kila brushed it off as her imagination.
After a while, Kila decided to check and see where they were. She also took out her CD player (the portable kind...... I dunno what it's called.) and put in a CD. She listened to that as she started to fiddle with her dex. Then, her eyes widened and she gasped, turning off the music and stuffing it in her backpack. She also put her dex away and looked around, wary of something.
"What? What is it?" Yuko asked, looking at Kila.
"We are near Midkemia," Kila said, looking around.
"Where?" Everyone in the group asked.
Kila sighed. "Honestly. Don't any of you ever read?" She asked crossly.
"No, not really, no," Yuko said. Kila sighed again.
"Well, Midkemia is a very unique place. It has humans, dwarves, elves, trolls, and the like. Yes, Jess, that is like Middle Earth, but Midkemia is different. It was invaded by a people from another world called the Tsurani. The Tsurani and the people of Midkemia had a war. The war lasted years. I don't know exactly how long, I only got to book two. I do, however, know that we are likely to meet people called the Dark Brotherhood. They are like a darker version of elves, and attack first, ask questions later. Also, Midkemia was home to many magicians. I know a couple of them, but I still do not want to get too far into the territory in here. I especially do not want to get close to the cities. There are a couple of bishies that I would like to catch from this area, though," Kila said, looking around.
"The Dark Brotherhood, huh? Sounds like orcs to me," Jess said, looking at Kila.
"In a way, they are. In another way, they aren't. I just hope that we do not come across one," Kila said. "I know that we could take them, but I don't want any trouble right now."
Just then, something jumped on Kila, making her fall over. She looked over her shoulder and found a girl sitting on her back. The girl had desert-style clothes on. (Like what Arabians wear, according to her.) She looked rather bouncy.
"Hey! I overhear you talking, so I just came to say hi!" The girl said. "My name is Learan Thaya!"
"Okay, it's nice to meet you and all, but I'd appreciate it if you got off of me," Kila said. Once she was on her feet, she said, "My name is Kila Maho. This is Danny, Jess, Jade, Yuko, and Maria. These are my bishies, Rei, Yoko, and Hiei."
"My bishies are Palin, Tanin, and Sturm Majere," Learan said.
Kila's eyes bugged out. "You have all three?!?!"
"Yep!" Learan said. Kila backed away a step, then came sharply back to earth as she heard something rustle in the bushes next to her.
"Hide!" she mouthed to the others, who instantly vanished from view. Kila put her bishies in their balls and watched the bushes. A Kulgan and Pug (Yes, he is a human boy. Dunno where he got the name, tho.) walked into the clearing and looked around.
"There's nothing here, Pug," Kulgan said, looking at his apprentice.
"But... I could've sworn I heard something," Pug said, looking up at Kulgan.
Just then, Kila sneezed and covered her mouth with her hand.
Kulgan looked sharply at the tree and Pug did as well.
Kila let herself drop to the ground, her hands at her side.
"Who are you and what business do you have here?" Kulgan asked.
"I was just walking through when I heard you and thought you might be part of the Dark Brotherhood or a Tsurani soldier," Kila explained. "I have no business here other then going through here because it is the most direct way to get to where I am headed."
"And your name?" Kulgan said, eyeing Kila suspiciously.
"Kila."
"Kila, huh? Why don't you come with us?" Kulgan said, motioning for Kila to follow.
"I don't think so. I'm a trainer. I can't go to your cities. Besides, I mean no trouble. I was just passing through. Now, if you'll let me pass...." Kila trailed off, taking a step forward. She immediately found an arrow aimed at her head. Kila sighed, ducked under the arrow and faced the person that held the bow.
Just then, a rather small group of Dark Brotherhood soldiers came into the clearing. Pug and Kulgan were already gone and Longbow (The one that had aimed the arrow at Kila) was leaving.
Kila quickly ducked into the brush near the edge of the clearing and all waited until the Brotherhood had passed to come out.
"How do you manage to lie so easily like that?" Jade asked.
"I dunno myself. It just comes naturally. Now, we need to get out of here before more of them come or they come back," Kila said, starting to walk off. She heard her companions follow her as she led them into the forest, scouting ahead occasionally. She came back with a scratch or two, but that was it.
"What have you been looking for?" Yuko asked.
"Well, Tsurani, Brotherhood, just about anything. I found a couple of lone trolls and brought the troll population down by.... five!" Kila said with a grin.
Everyone else anime-fell. Jade shook her head, Maria smiled, Yuko grinned, Jess smiled slightly and shook her head, and Learan frowned. Kila continued to lead them forward until they came to a small clearing. They set up camp and Kila volunteered for first watch. She sat in a tree and watched her friends fall asleep, one by one. She stayed up most of the night, thinking. Finally, at 3 in the morning, Danny relieved her of duty and she crawled into her sleeping bag, a feeling of dread upon her.
When Kila woke up, she found that no one else was up except Danny, who was still on watch duty. Kila packed up her things and slung them over one shoulder. (I do that with my backpack all the time.) She woke everyone else up by blasting loud, annoying Spanish music at them. Jade woke with a yelp and a few muttered curses. Maria woke up screaming, "TURN THAT DAMN THING OFF!!" Jess woke with a start, then started to laugh. Hiei fell out of his tree and Yoko covered his ears.
Kila happily turned the music off, then said, "We are near the border of Midkemia, so next we will be a couple of days away from New Tokyo, which still means that we have to go through Rurouni Kenshin Territory. So, should we be heading out?"
"Yeah!"
