What if...?

Keasuke: (sniff) Dragoon Swordsman is right, Noria is not a powerful OC! Uhh..But I'm still thinking about the sequel for this story..! But thanks Dragoon Swordsman for always being there..you were there when this story started..

Noria: Anyways get on with the story you idiot! (very impatient)

Keasuke: RIGHTIO! We'll see how the leader of the Alliance army is doing!

Chapter 12: New Alliances and New Friends!

We finally reached Gregminister, we were in the Gregminister castle in a waiting room. Sheena was complaining about his father keeping his own son waiting. I listened to him.

"Can you believe it? He let his own son waiting! What kind of father is he!" Sheena started to rant

Luc looked bored, "Would you shut up already, we heard you forthe first ten times."

Futch stayed quiet, he didn't want to be in this just like me. Luc and Sheena were arguing, but Luc stayed his calm self. Freed didn't look okay, he was sweating.

"This place is big..where can I find the bathroom?" He asked Sheena

I tried not to laugh so I held my breath. I didn't want to direspect Freed, but his face was priceless!

"Freed, your face. Are you okay?" Sheena asked as he pointed at Freed

Just then a maid came in, "President Lepent would like to see you." she said.

Freed looked around, "Umm..I don't need to go anymore."

We followed her, we entered the big room. President Lepent sat in his chair, there was his attendants (Or whatever those people were..) on each side of the isle. I put on my not-really-but-I-still-look-a-bit-important-face. (I can see Riou putting an innocent look all the time..)

"Ahh...Lord Riou, leader of Alliace army..." Lepent started, his eyes drifted to Sheena. "And, Sheena."

Sheena smiled and scratched the back of his head, "Dad..."

I stepped in, "Prisendant Lepent, we need you to help us. We need your aid."

Lepent stared at me for a long time, "..And why should Toran Republic help out the City-state?"

Freed stepped in too, "If we don't act quickly, the City-State will fall into Highland possesion..." he trailed off, "then Luca Blight will possbily will come to take over Toran Republic."

I nodded in agreement, Freed was rather proud of himself. Lepent was in deep thought, he was pondering what Freed said. I looked at him.

Lepent stared at me, "Riou, why do you fight?" he asked me

(Note: I forgot the options..so I'm gonna make it up..or something somewhat similar to it..)

"I want to end this war." I told him with honesty.

Lepent smiled, "I see," he paused, "you remind of a young man I once knew. Your eyes has the same sparkle as his, his eyes led them forward and brought about the peace in the Republic."

I heard Luc mutter something behind me, "Tir..." he muttered softly.

I didn't mind to bother him why he said that. Lepent asked on of his advisor's, Telsa how to help.

"Well, we can support with 5000 soilders...and a general."

(I have never evered played the first game..so uhh..yeah.)

A knight (Alen) stepped up, "We have Valeria open for the position." he suggested.

Another knight (Grenseal) stepped in, "And we also have Kasumi open up too."

Lepent looked at the two, he nodded "Please summon them here please."

A advisor nodded, "Yessir."

Back at the Castle...(Heehehehee...)

It's been almost two days (takes a day to get to Gregminister juss to tell you! What..it does!) since Riou and his party left, I was stuck in boredem. I was sitting by the duck pond. Plucking flowers and making a crown, I had a thing for making flower crowns when there's nothing to do. By-passers stared at me, what's so weird about a teenaged girl making a crown out of flowers?

I lazily finished my crown and placed it beside me, "Umm.."

"Hey Noria.." a fimilar voice said to me.

I turned and saw Nanami, she had a sad look. She sat beside me and held up my flower crown, she sighed "Isn't it boring?"

"What, the crown or not having fun when your brother is not around?" I asked her

"...Umm...I pick B." she replied

Nanami placed the crown on my head she smiled, "You look pretty! Aww..heehee." she laughed

I smirked and grabbed Nanami's pink headband and replaced it with another flower crown I made earlier. We both laughed, Nanami looked different without her headband. We looked at eachother, we smiled.

"Now what?" I asked

She smiled, "Well...we could go to the stage to see Annalee sing!" she suggested

I nodded, "Okay let's go!"

We walked along the path that led to the castle.

Back at Gergminister...

A few minutes passed, then the doors opened. Two women passed, they kneeled down to President Lepent.

"You called me President Lepent?" both of them said at the same time

Lepent nodded, "Yes, now Lord Riou which one of these ladies would you like to help you.." he looked at them, "Kasumi? Or Valeria?"

Sheena looked at them, "Ah...Both of them are hott!" he turned to me, "Ohh...C'mon Riou choose!"

Lepent looked dipleased about his own son's behavior, I looked at Kasumi then at Valeria. Who to choose, man this is like choosing between Jowy and Nanami! (It's true..it's true.) I looked at them again.

I nodded, "I choose Kasumi, Sir."

Lepent smiled, "Kasumi.."

Kasumi smiled, "Thank you lord Riou! I will try my best to help out in Alliance Army!"

Valeria nodded and smiled, "Good luck Kasumi."

Sheena smiled, "And good pick..anwyays nice knowing you Riou, I guess this is where we say-"

Lepent stood and grabbed Sheena's arm, "HEY! Ow! Dad!"

"Take my idiot son with you, I trust you to take care of him." he told me

I smiled, "I'll find him a use in the army."

"Riou! That's not funny!" Sheena wailed

Luc smirked, while Futch smiled and laughed a bit. "Don't make a fool of yourself infront of a lady's presence." Luc added (Niiicceee...)

Sheena muttered something I didn't understand. Lepent sighed, "Well, I suppose you must be off back to Dunan Castle?"

I nodded, "The sooner, the quicker we can end this war." I said

Lepent nodded, "Thank you Lord Riou, for comming here to see me."

Border between Toran and Dunan...(Heehee..?)

I stretched my arms, "Ahh...Well we better get going!" I told my group.

Kasumi looked around, "Umm.."

I looked at her "What's the matter Kasumi?"

"Well, before we go back to the castle, can we go back to my village.." she asked, "please Lord Riou? It won't be long."

"Isn't Rokkaku Hamlet a hidden ninja village?" Luc asked

Kasumi nodded, "I know the way."

I sighed and smiled, "Okay, but what for?"

Kasumi smiled, "You'll see, Lord Riou"

Freed looked at the young ninja "I see.."

We walked off into the forest, following Kasumi.

Back at Dunan Castle...

Dear Koh and Ellie,

Well first off, how are you doing? Well me, I'm doing fine! Don't worry about me, I joined Alliance army I'm in good hands. Koh, this means I'm always seeing General Riou! He is very brave, but he looks no older than me! I hope you're behaving well while I'm gone. Lord Riou must have passed the village, he was going to Toran Republic I hope you saw him.

I have made many new friends again, one is a robot! His name is Gadget, he has a few screws loose which can make him a pretty bit rude to Meg, another friend of mine. She is an inventer, people who envent new nifty things to help our daily chores and stuff. If you're wondering how the others are doing, they are doing fine. Luc is same as always towards me, but I'm getting used to him..well I try to ignore him.

I will try to visit you two as soon as possible, are there new people at the inn right now? What about those two people who stay at the inn so often, the young man who likes to fish? Oh well, I need to go it's pretty busy here!


Love your dear friend,
Noria

I placed my quill, I read my letter. There was only three ink blobs, less than the last letter. I hope I see that trader again! I need to give him my letter when he goes back to Banner village.

I sighed, it was pretty lonely without the boys. I perked up "I hope Riou brings new stars! I wanna make more friends!" I giggled.

Making new friends was great, I had so many now. Even though I wasn't a Star of Destiny, I still felt like one. Deep down inside I wonder why I wasn't, I beared a true rune I'm helping out in thr army. What was the one reason why I am not? I sometimes envy the others, I was a bit jealous (OooOOoh someone it pretty jealous!) but I would shurg it off.

It was a lazy mid-afternoon. Everybody was relaxing their butt off, I closed my eyes and sighed. "Hmm...I wonder what the others are up to now."

Back with our fearless leader...

Kasumi was looking through trees, until she said...

"Aha!" she smiled, "..Hmm..let's..just through these trees.."

We entered a hidden village, a ninja village! The houses we japanese styled, like the dojo I lived in back in Kyaro.

"Okay, let's just go to the main building-" Kasumi got cut off.

"A SPY!" yelled a voice

I blinked, we were somewhere else. "Huh!"

We were in a building, there was an tall looking ninja. Behind him was two other ninjas, an older one and a younger looking one. I looked around, Kasumi was behind me.

"Why are you here? Do you think you could just stumble the hidden village, Rokkaku Hamlet!" the ninja almost yelled at me.

Kasumi stepped in, "Lord Hanzo!"

He look surprised, "Kasumi! What are you doing here? I thought, you were with Prisendent Lepent?"

"Kasumi..." the younger ninja whispered

Kasumi smiled, "Prisident Lepent orderd me to help out Dunan Army," she paused, "I wanted to ask you if Rokkaku could help out with Alliance army?"

Hanzo thought about it, "Lord Riou..you're just like him." he sighed.

"Sasuke! Mondo! Please help out Lord Riou!" he ordered them.

Mondo chuckled, "Eh Sasuke, you get to spend more time with Kasumi." he teased

Sasuke blushed, "W-WHAT! Shut up Mondo!" he yelled at him

(Let's change this around!)

Kasumi smiled, "Hm..you two never changed."

Luc sighed, "Great.."

Futch smiled, "It would be nice to have more friends."

I nodded, "Futch is right...!" I told Luc

"Friends..puh-lease."

Mondo and Sasuke walked to our little group, "Sooo.."

"Well, you can just pack up your belongings and go to Dunan Castle." I informed them

Mondo nodded, "Okay, I know the way we'll be there soon."

Sasuke was still blushing, "Whatever.."

Mondo smiled, "You should get packing Sasuke, the sooner to see-"

Sasuke glared at him, "Shut up! Argh!" Sasuke stomped away.

Kasumi looked worried, "Is there something wrong with him, Mondo?"

"He misses you, that's all."

"I see."

Freed looked around, "We should get going, see you two at the castle."

"I'll be looking forward."

Back at the Castle a few hours later (I'm so lazy right now..)

I was walking around, Riou finally came back from Toran. I sighed, I never saw anyone new well Sheena and a female ninja named Kasumi. I was at the entrance of the castle. I stood there, until. Two people came, one older man and a young boy. They were carrying backpacks.

"Sasuke! Mondo! You came!" a female voice came from behind me

Kasumi waved at the two, they approched us. Kasumi looked at me, "Oh hello!"

I waved, "Hello..Umm.."

"Kasumi, you waited for us?" the older ninja asked her.

Kasumi nodded, "Yup, then I noticed..." she turned to me

"Noria." I told them

Kasumi nodded, "Noria!"

Mondo looked at me, "Hello Noria, I'm Mondo a ninja from Rokkaku Hamlet." he looked to the younger boy.

"Sasuke.." he grunted, then he looked at Kasumi.

Kasumi looked around, "Anyways..." she paused, "Sasuke, what about meeting new friends? Noria should know alot of people around your age!"

I smiled, "I'd love to, anyways I know alot of people around our age...alot."

Sasuke looked at me, "..Friends?"

"Ever heard of them? C'mon let's go!"

"My bags..."

"Don't worry Sasuke I'll take care of them!" Mondo slipped Sasuke's bag out of Sasuke's back, "Have fun!"

"But-"

I grabbed his hand before he was gonna protest, "WHEN HE COMES BACK HE WILL HAVE MANY FRIENDS!" I told the two older ninjas.

At the Baracks..(or whatever they are called.)

"Hey Luc, c'mon! Sasuke must be here by now!" Futch told Luc

"What about him..?"

"Well he must be lonely...let's befriend to him!"

"What about this..you make friends while I say here."

Futch glared at the mage, "Aww..don't be a loser Luc."

Luc sighed, "Now what makes me a loser?"

"Well, I look like your only friend besides Tir!"

"Don't put Tir into this silly arguement."

Futch hmphed, Luc looked somewhere else "Speaking of the devil.."

I spotted Luc and Futch, "HEY! Futchie! Lucie!"

Sasuke looked around, "Huuuuuh?"

"Luc, Futch! Y'know Sasuke right?" I asked them

Futch nodded, "Yup!"

Luc was like, Whatever.

"Umm...I didn't catch your name.."

"It's Noria and y'know Luc and Futch!"

He nodded, "Yeah."

I let go of Sasuke's hand, "Hey! I know! You three should become the best of friends! Ahaha.."

Luc stared at Sasuke, "Okay, now the only way to get into this group you have to answear this question, do you think Noria is weird?"

"You know she's right here." Sasuke mentioned

"Shut up Luc!" I blazed at him

"Make me spy."

"Ohhh! You're gonna get it now!"

Sasuke went to Futch, "Are they always like this?"

Futch sighed, "Appearently."
