A/N: Apparently still on a breakup spree! HAHAHAA. This one will be on Raoul and Buri since I don't dare to write the Alanna/George one now in case you guys flame me to death. Btw, I don't think I can make it past writing the part where Alanna and George break up, I'd just cry and trash the whole thing. Perhaps just tell me whether you really want to see them broken up, yeahh? I'll try my best.

"Now what? You think we females can't fight too?"

Buri and Raoul

"Gosh Buri, the Scanran War is beginning soon. Jon needs me to go fight. I'm sorry, Buri dear, I'll be gone for a few months. This trip will be a secret… We surely cannot let any of the Ambassadors hear about it lest they inform they're countries."

"Raoul, don't you mean Jon needs US to go fight?"

"Uhm, Buri, this is something we males need to handle. Also, you'll be staying in t he castle with the Riders. We're taking the King's Own. But be ready to send your best Riders if we request for backup." Raoul said hurriedly.

"Yeah, sure. I'm sure you manly guys won't need any backup at all." Buri shoots back in a huff and slams the door behind her leaving Raoul staring after her.

During dinner, Buri sat at the table next to Raoul as usual. But treated him as though he was just a block of wood sitting there. Whatever he said to her was just dismissed as crap talking.

After dinner, Buri returned to her room and lay on her bed. Raoul had been discussing some things with Jon about going to Scanra. They were in the meeting room currently, discussing the supplies and amount of manpower needed.

Late in the night, Raoul crept into the room. He was surprised to see Buri's eyes flicker open when he entered. She glared at him menacingly, mouthing out the words: You know what you said, Raoul. And I'm not happy with you for it.

Raoul's face morphed into one of fear and inability to explain. "I know you're bringing Thayet along too. The palace maid heard you and Jon. Fat good you're doing keeping a secret of the trip." Buri sulked.

"Awww, Buri, we're bringing Thayet along to help with the meetings. She'll be very useful in negotiation since both royalties will be present to persuade them not to start the War. Besides, you'll be safe in Corus."

Buri's face softened as she understood the awful realization that they wouldn't be needing her on this trip. It was true that they had made sense bringing Thayet along.

Then they heard Alanna stomping by their door screaming bloody murder. "BLOODY MURDER YOU, JON. BLOODY MURDER YOU. I'M YOUR CHAMPION FOR FRIGGIN' HELL'S SAKE. AND YOU'RE NOT BRINGING ME ALONG?"

Buri turned back to Raoul. Eyes burning with anger. "DIE, RAOUL, DIE. WHAT REASON DO YOU HAVE NOT BRINGING ALANNA ALONG, NOW? I hope you don't make up any stupid excuses. CAUSE I CAN'T STAND THEM ANYMORE. I understood that I'm not going cause I'm in charge of the Riders. But Alanna IS the Champion. Do you have a reason now?"

"Uhhhhh…" Raoul stuttered.

"Now what? You think we females can't fight too?"

A/N: Muahahaha. I think the next one will be on Alanna and George. I'm very afraid you'll flame me to hell. Shrieks and hides behind table I think I better get some marshmallows to flame.
