Southernangel: Um...yes and no :)

Chapter Four: The Truth about Tohruu as Told by Violet Ciel

"You gonna eat Chiro?" Nova asked.

"Oh, um yeah," Chiro said returning to reality.

"If you will all excuse me I think I'll take a small walk," Antauri said.

"Antauri?" Chiro asked.

"Yes Chiro?" Antauri asked.

"Don't get lost ok," Chiro said jokingly.

Antauri smiled," You won't have to worry about that," he told Chiro as he turned and walked down the same path as Cielle.

"Come on Gibson I wanna piece!" Sparx whined.

"Get your own sandwich Sparx, this is mine!" Gibson snapped.

"But yours looks better!" Sparx said.

"You guys are funny," Kirei said with a laugh as she bit into one of her sandwiches and chewed it happily.

Cielle was still steated by the river bank in deep thought. "Oh Queen Abigail, why'd you have to leave? If only you had stayed a little longer maybe..."

"Cielle," a voice from behind her said breaking her train of thought.. She turned to see Antauri.

"H-hello...um...I'm sorry your name escapes me..." Cielle said as she stood up and looked back into his eyes. They looked even more brilliant then they had before, she was unaware that from Antauri's point of view her eyes looked even more brilliant in the moonlight as well.

"My name is Antauri," he told her.

"Antauri, what an interesting name," Cielle said.

"Thank you, yours interests me as well," Antauri told her.

"My full name is Violet Ciel, that's French I think, it means Purple Sky...I preferred to be called Cielle though..." Cielle told him.

"Hmmm..." Antauri said. Cielle turned back around and continued to look out on the water. Antauri walked up to her and sat down next to her. "I hope I'm not interrupting your personal time but I'm curious."

"About what?" Cielle asked.

"About your planet, your princess, your sister and you," Antauri said.

Cielle turned and faced him, "My sister isn't that great of a story teller is she...well I guess I can start from the beginning. Oh and don't worry, your not intruding...I'm enjoying your company."

Antauri nodded. "Tohruu wasn't always like it is. It had a Queen, her name was Abigail and she ruled fairly and kindly. She had a sister named Suki, who you know as Master Tsuki or Princess Tsuki, who had a darkness in her heart that she could no longer control. Abigail in fear for her kingdom created Valenica, a computer program that she could multiply and control to protect that planet. It's complex technology that uses holograms and A.I. technology. It's hard to tell when Valencia is a hologram or the real thing, even harder for humans, but for us robot monkeys we can sense the flux between the two, it's very faint and takes time to sense it. Unfortunately as Suki grew older her evil grew along with it. Soon she was threatening the Queen, telling her she was going to take over the throne. The queen grew frightened and faked her kidnapping so Suki would think she was out of the way for good. Suki took control of Valencia and multiplied her countless times and used them for evil reasons. Soon she took over the entire planet and kept everyone locked in. I tried stop her many times, but she got wiser every time and I finally got captured," Cielle paused. "I want to thank you again for saving me Antauri," she finished.

Antauri who had been listening intently the entire time intrigued by what she had to say smiled, "It no trouble, but I couldn't have done it without my team and your sister."

"Yes, I will have to thank them later," Cielle said.

"Thank you for sharing all this information with me Cielle, things are starting to make more sense, but what about you? How'd you come to be?" Antauri asked.

Cielle was silent for a while. "I...to tell you the truth don't know...the Queen told me I was created to protect the kingdom, then later my sister to help me..." she paused searching her mind for any other memories.

"It's alright, you've already shared so much with me, someone you hardly know," Antauri said.

"Hmm...well I sensed from the beginning you'd be a trustworthy friend," Cielle said. The two went silent nothing but the sounds of the forest at night could be heard. Cielle's eyes darted up to Antauri's who had his eyes fixed on her the whole time, something felt calming about the way his eyes peered into hers. "Antauri..." she said softly.

"Yes?" he asked.

"Unh...I-I...I better get back," she said as she looked away from him and stood up.

"I'll escort you back," Antauri said.

Cielle smiled, "That's very gentlemanly of you."

To be continued...

L'arc en Ciel7: Ooh! Cielle and Antarui sitting in a tree K-I-S-I-N-G!

Snowkat: First of all it's K-I-S-S-I-N-G, and second of all that's not very mature of you being a junior and all, and third of all shut up!

L'arc en Ciel7: Oh please, just because I'm a junior doesn't mean I have to be mature ;)

Snowkat: Yes it does, otherwise your setting a bad example for all the little freshman and little sophmores like me!

L'arc en Ciel7: Chillax homey-chan. What happened to talking about your story?

Snowkat: Darn it! Next chapter I promise!

L'arc en Ciel7: Yeah I'll believe that when money grows on trees.
