The Trio

Ramon: The sequel of To the end, but a little based on Naga and her family.

Sunny: The Slayers and all its characters don't belong to us, not even the story about the Seilune family; it belongs to Hajime Kanzaka and Rui Arazumi. We are just fans who like to make fan fics.

Maliska: only Air Jay and Kiko belong to us.

Alandra: we hope that you people can enjoy this new fic.

Chapter 21

------

After humiliating Brunou once again, the trio finally arrived to Zelphiria. Naga, Air Jay and Kiko walked around with their sights all around the place, Air Jay is wearing a cape and a hood so that no one can recognize him, he still doesn't want rumors to be spread about him being alive, that way Lina would be alerted and his plan of catching Lina by surprise would fail.

"So tell me again why are we in this town again?" Naga asked.

"I told you that we need to pass to this town to go to the guy who hired you to get this Crystal." Air Jay responded very annoyed, Naga has already ask him that question four times already. "Besides, aren't you interested to know the city where Lina was born?"

Naga did not respond, she looks at the city again, she always wonder what was the kind of city that would raise someone like Lina, for what Lina told her in the past she left for fear of her sister. "Well….maybe. But I always heard that Zelphiria has the best wines of the world, we can try it."

"Then it's settle. We'll spend the night here and tomorrow morning we'll go to your boss."

"Well let's get dinner first!" Naga said as she pointed to a restaurant.

"AUUUU! Ruff ruff! (Alright! I'm hungry!)" Kiko barked happily.

The trio entered the restaurant and immediately took a seat.

"Maybe you should not let Kiko in." Naga suggested. "You know how restaurant don't allow pets in."

"First of all, Kiko is not my pet, he's my closest friend. Second, if they have a problem about my dog being here I'll fix their wagons." Air Jay replied. "I'm sure that many people can tell that tale."

In that moment a waitress approaches the table where the Trio are. "Good evening, my name is Luna Inverse, I shall be your waitress for tonight."

The trio gazes back at the waitress, she said her name was Inverse, could this be Lina's sister that she feared so much.

"So your name is Luna inverse?" Air Jay asked with a smirk in his face.

"Yes I am." Luna replied politely. "Is there something wrong?"

"Oh no, nothing bad at all." Naga responded, she still can not believe that she meet Lina's oldest sister, by the first glace she seems like an ordinary girl with too many hair covering her eyes, Naga just wonders what kind of power Luna has for Lina to be so afraid of he? "Well…we'd like to order our food, and bring me your best wine!"

-----

After their meal, The Trio went to an inn to spend the night, all three off them not convinced about Luna's power because she completely acted like an ordinary waitress by serving their food and being polite to them.

Kiko's eating a few chinked legs that were not eaten during dinner and looking at Naga by the window of their room, she is trying the hot springs of the inn and luckily for her Air Jay is not around, that way she can take a normal bath without Air Jay acting like a peeping tom.

Still Kiko is very curious about Air Jay wanting to come to this town in the first time, what ever he's planning it's certainly something really bad.

-----

Air Jay's jumping from roof to roof until he reaches the restaurant where he ate in, he looks down by his binoculars to see that there isn't anyone there, only Luna sited on the chair, like if she's waiting for someone. Air Jay was a little puzzled at first but he didn't care about that, he simply lands down to the restaurant door and enters the restaurant, he notices that all the tables and chair are gone, the only one there is Luna who is sited in the middle of the restaurant.

"You are late……Air Jay." Luna said with a very creepy voice.

Air Jay takes out his hood and cape. "So you know who I am. And here I thought that I was wearing a good disguise."

"A man that walks around town looking as suspicious as you can be consider someone who is up to no good. "Besides, a Knight of Ceilphiel must know these things."

Air Jay chuckled at that. "Some knight you are, you take on such a ridiculous job as a waitress."

"A person must make a living. Now I must say that I am curious to know why you came to see me, Air Jay."

Air Jay smirked. "You know that I came for you but you don't know why I'm here?"

Luna smirked back. "You came to kill me."

Air Jay chuckled sinisterly. "Don't take so personally, babe. It is not personal. All I want is to let Lina a warning about my return when she finds your dead body on the ground."

Luna giggled with the back of her hand covering her mouth. "You didn't manage to overwhelm my sister and you hope on killing me?"

Air Jay gasped. "How do you know that?"

"Like I said, a Knight of Ceilphiel must know these things. I know that she defeated you by using a Dragon Slave and that you resurrected thank to your Phoenix blood, nonetheless I was very impress that you awaken her hidden power, I was hoping her power would be awaken when she fought the Dark Star but I was mistaken. But now thatks to you Air Jay, Lina is much more powerful than before."

Air Jay frowned. "That is about to change, when I learn the secret of the Crystal I'll….."

"You fool!" Luna interrupted. "No mater how much more magic you gather to your self you will never defeat my sister. Besides you And Naga are fools to believe that the Unknown Crystal is like the Philosophy Stone, it held a secret that you don't know."

"What are you talking about?"

"Sorry, our conversation is over. And now I must leave."

"Not so fast, smart arse!" Air Jay growled as he lifts his arm up to stop Luna. "What makes you think that I will let you go that easy?"

"This." Luna swings her arm and she cuts Air Jay's arm with her knife and then she disappears.

"AAARGH!!!!" Air Jay cried in pain but then he his arm is covered with fire, remaking his slashed arm. "Why that damn….." Air Jay walks out of the restaurant only to see that Luna is no where to be found. "Damn it, she escaped. I never meet anyone who could be just as insolent as me. Nevertheless we better hurry up to get the power of the Crystal because I bet that Luna will certainly tell Lina that I am alive. When I have the power of the Crystal I will come back you Luna, no one cuts my arm without paying the price!"

-----

During that time Naga's been in the hot springs enjoying her self, or at least trying to, she knows that tomorrow is the big day, tomorrow she will finally be rid of Air Jay and avenge her mother, she waited for this day for years but now is very troubled about doing it, sometimes it is hard for her to believe that Air Jay killed her mother but she was present in that dreadful day and she promised in her mother's grave that she would avenge her dead. Still she has an enormous weight in her hearts for what she plans to do.

"Feeling comfortable?" Luna whispered in Naga's hears.

This made Naga jump out of the water, she did not felt Lua's presence when she got here. "You?!?!? How did you get here?"

"The hot springs of Zelphiria are the best but sadly very bad protected. Trust me, I know" Luna said with a vein in her forehead, remembering what Lina has done to her. "But I must say that I am honored to finally meet Lina's first traveling companion.

"How…how do you know that?"

"A Knight of Ceiphiel must know these things. You are her self proclaim rival, hoping to hold a title that will never be owned. But the most ironic of all this is that after the last time that Lina traveled with you she shared some adventures with your sister Amelia."

"What? Lina traveled with Amelia?" this really caught Naga by surprise, she never thought that Amelia would travel around like a sorceresses and she never imagine it would be with her long time rival. Naga then gasped when she realized something. "What a minute….how did you know that Amelia is my sister?" she didn't deny it, she knows that she is face to face with the Knight of Ceilphiel and she knows many things, so possibly Naga just make a dumb question.

"I know." Luna responded very simply. "for example I know that you don't like your father very much, but you make the same mistakes he makes."

"DON'T YOU COMPARE ME WITH MY FATHER!!!" Naga screamed. "Why do you compare me with my father anyway? I am not an idiot like him."

"Maybe, but you are making the same mistake that he makes about Air Jay!"

"What do you mean?"

"There are always two versions of every story but your father only hears one version. And you are making the same thing as he does, if you don't listen to the other version of the tragedy that has happen to you, you might lose more than your life tomorrow."

"What are you talking about? Stop talking with riddles and tell me what you want."

"All I wanted was to give you a warning. Especially to wish you good luck; you are going to need it tomorrow." After saying that Luna disappears to who knows where.

Naga looks around to see that Luna is absolutely gone. She rests down in the water again, very mystified with all the enigmas from Luna. Luna is indeed very mysterious and impertinent as Lina once told her, Naga just wonder how she knows so much about her. "Well, never mind. Tomorrow is the big day and I must mentally prepare myself to finish Air Jay once and for all."

-----

Morning has come, and the Trio already left Zelphiria in direction to Zurten's castle, not one of them mentioning about their encounter with Luna.

They finally found the Castle, the castle is still hidden in a fog and in a forest.

"So this is where this Zurten guy lives?" Air Jay asked. "So how old is he?"

"About 182 years old." Naga responded very simply.

"(Damn, the guy is even older than me.)" Kiko telepathically said.

"With him that old and with al that knowledge I'm sure he he'll unlock the power of the crystal."

"Good the sooner the better." Air Jay said with a vicious smirk.

"Don't be in such a hurry Air Jay." Naga said in her mind, only a few more seconds to go until Air Jay is finished.

Once they entered the castle they were led by some of Zurten's servants to one of the halls of the castle, a hall with many pillars that have statues of gargoyles on the top and on the bottom.

Air Jay and Kiko finally meet Zurten, he really is old as Naga said, he's in a wheelchair with some tubes stuck in to his skin coming from some kind of life supports machine, he's bald with a very long beard and wriggles.

"Damn, that old timer really grosses me out." Air Jay said in disgust.

Naga didn't say a word, she just walks to Zurten and hands him the crystal. "Here is the crystal like you wanted."

Zurten holds the crystal with his aged eyes shining in joy even if his face can not change because of his advanced age. "Magnificent work Naga, you have made a great job. I am surprised that you managed to defeat the Aviar Army to get the crystal, I am so amazed."

"Hey yo! Don't forget I also kicked the Aviar Armies butt!" Air Jay reminded.

Kiko simply sighed and then takes a close look at Zurten's bodyguard, his scent seems quite familiar. "(Why does that guy seem so familiar? Or better yet, why does he smell so familiar?) Kiko has been pondering for a moment but then he open his eyes wide open when he finally recognizes Booley. " GRRRR!!! Au au auauaua! (IT'S HIM!!!! Air Jay it's him!!!)"

Air Jay turns to Kiko, a little surprised by his sudden attitude. "Ease up dog, what are you talking about?"

"Ruff ruff, auuu, au au, grrrrr!!!! (It's him Air Jay, the bodyguard, he's the guy who killed Sylvinia, I recognize his smell!!!!)"

"WHAT?!?!" Air Jay looks back at Booley and immediately also recognizes his smell. "You!!! I've waited a long time to get you!"

just when Air Jay about to go to Booley, the head of the gargoyles fly directly to Air Jay's hands and feet, trapping Air Jay in the air making it impossible for him to run away. "Hey what's going on here?" Air Jay struggles to break free but the gargoyles have a magic power that seems to get even stronger every time Air Jay struggles. "Naga, give me a hand here!"

Naga walks to Air Jay but the only thing she does is remove a hair string from air Jay's long hair. "Well this is a first, you finally asked for my help." Naga said with no emotion in her voice as she walks to Zurten.

Air Jay looks at Naga in disbelieve and in pain. "No……"

Kiko was socked as well, he knew that Naga was hiding something but he never thought that she would betray Air Jay. It seems that this was her plan all along.

"Here is Lina's hair sample and Air Jay's just like you asked me." Naga said as she passed the hair samples to Zurten. "I was forced to team up with Air Jay to defeat the Aviar Army but with his help I manage to obtain the crystal."

Air Jay's world seems to tumble, never in his life he felt so used. "NO!!!!" he roared like a wild animal. "You set me up the entire time? I trusted you!!! How can you betray me like this?"

Naga looks back at air Jay with a raged face. "Betrayal? You of all people, how dare you speak of betrayal? You destroyed my life!" Naga screamed as she walks to Air Jay.

"What are you talking about?" Air Jay screamed back.

"Don't tell me that you still haven't figuter out that I'm……AAAAH!!!" Naga was interrupted as Booley removed a hair string from Naga. "Hey what's the big idea?"

"We also needed a hair sample from you. And now that we have all the ingredients we don't need you anymore!" after Booley said that a trap door opened from right under the trio in which they fell.

"It was a good thing that we prepared our traps for their arrival. Now it is time for me to prepare the fountain." Zurten said as one of his servants prepared to drive him out of the room. "Finally the time has come when I will get out of this chair."

"Go prepare your fountain all you want, I am going to consume my desire for revenge." Booley said with a grin. "The time has come for me to avenge my family!"

-----

Naga grunted in pain, she landed on her face to the ground, when she lifted her head she found out that she's in an underground room, and enormous vast room which seems that it is not used for a very long time, but when Naga managed to make her eyes get use to the dark she saw that it is an dudgeon. Even so she cast an illumination spell. "That darn Zurten, I should have known that that old man was not to be trusted." Then she looks around the area, a little scare. "Where is Air Jay?" now that Air Jay knows that she used him, he will come back to kill her, even so Naga can't find him anywhere.

Suddenly a small explosion emerges right in front of Naga and coming from that explosion surfaces Air Jay with his back to Naga. "NAGA!!!!!" he called with a scary sinister voice as he turns his head to her, he screamed so loud that his voice echoed all over the dudgeon, Naga never heard that voice from Air Jay before, except the time when he wanted to kill her father, and his eyes are all red, red in furry.

Naga was a little scare at first but she valiantly got up to her feet. "I think this was foreseeable. This is a battle between the two of us."

Air Jay takes a slow and heavy walk to Naga, his steps making heavy racks on the ground. "Naga…... before I kill you I want you answer me one thing: why did you betray me?" he asked in a furious tone but at the same time it seemed like he was going to cry.

"Revenge takes no prisoners, Air Jay!" Naga replied.

"But what revenge!!!!" he shouted "What ever did I do to you?"

"Oh come on! After all this time and even now you haven't figure out who I am?"

"No I don't know! Did I kill someone you liked?"

"Yes you have! Now do you remember who you killed?"

"I DON'T CARE WHO I KILLED!!!" he snaps. "I just want to know why you did this to me! After the time we travelled together, after the adventure we shared, after all the humiliations we put Fatty into, you……." Air Jay could not finish the sentence, he's so traumatize that he doesn't know what to say. "Just tell who I killed!"

"You still don't know? Don't play dumb with me!!!" Naga snapped furiously. "How can you forget the ones you've killed?"

"I kill a lot of people every day!!!" Air Jay snapped back. "I said the same thing to Arn and now I'm telling you! Stop with the secrecy and tell me!"

Naga shake in fury for a moment but she finally decides to tell him. "Alright, does the name Sylvinia ring a bell?"

"Sylvinia?" Air Jay almost jumped when he heard that name, he never forgot about the woman who treated her like a son and gave him a secret family, one of the very rare people that Air Jay respects. The same woman who was murdered and who Air Jay got the blames. "The……the woman who……"

"The woman who help you escape Seilune when you were just twelve years old. The same woman who supported you and gave you a second family for four years." Naga finished.

"I know who she was and who she wasn't! But what does she has to do with you?"

"She had two daughters; one of them was named Gracia Will Naga Seilune. My mother!" Naga shouted in this one with all the emotion she is feeling right now.

Air Jay gasped. "G….Gracia?" Air Jay asked in shock, he can not believe that Naga is the same girl who was his best friends back in the days, before he was accused of a crime he would never commit. All this time he was travelling with his best and only human friend and he never realised that, he knew that Naga seemed familiar but he would have never guess it was Gracia. "Gracia, it's you?"

"Yes it's me! You accused me of betrayal when the real traitor here it's you! You killed my mother who had the heart of helping you and supporting you ever since you lost your family, however as a reward for her kindness you killed her like a bug. And now you are going to pay!"

Air Jay takes a step back. "Wait…..Gracia, it wasn't me! I'm innocent!"

"Don't lie to me! DEMONA CRYSTAL!!!" Naga shouted as she unleashed the the ice ray at Air Jay.

Air Jay just creates a wall of fire, blocking Naga's spell. "I'm telling you the truth! It was never me it was another guy!"

"Do you think I'm stupid? I was present in that day, I saw how you killed her right in front of me. You were going to kill me but my mother stand right in front of me and took the hit. For years now I endured the atrocious vision, all because of you!"

"Gracia listen to me! It wasn't me!"

"Yeah right, like anyone else has the same hair do you have. And don't call me Gracia! My name is Naga! NAGA!!!" Naga screamed emotionally and for the first time in many years, Naga releases her sword.

"Gracia, put that thing down!" Air jay ordered, a little emotional himself. "You can't kill me with that sword or any other sword; you know very well that my body can regenerate very easily!"

Naga was having a difficult time holding her sword, she knows very well that it was a sword who took her mothers life but she needs it to kill Air Jay. "Maybe but this sword is special."

"What do you mean?"

"This sword is oiled with the same poison that my father used to kill your entire family."

"What?" Air jay gasped.

"That's right! My father had a small bottle of poison with him but I stole it so that he would never use it against you, and right now I am happy for never getting ride of the only thing that can kill you!"

Air jay backs away, afraid of that sword that it is creamed with the very poison that destroyed his family all those years ago. "Gracia please listen to me! I'm telling you it wasn't me….."

"Shut up you coward! DARK CLOUD!!!!" Naga creates a dark mist all around Air Jay so that he can't see her.

Air Jay could not see a thing, this dark mist is even blocking his smell and orientation. "Gracia listen to me!!! The Bodyguard that was with Zurten, it was him, he the…..AAAARGH!!!!" Air Jay was interrupted when Naga stabbed her sword on Air Jay's chest with her eyes close so that she could not see the blood, her eyes trembling as she did. "Gracia…..I am innocent…..I……" Naga did not listen to him, she just pressures the sword deeply into him until it came out the other side, he stood there in his feet for a short moment until he collapsed to the ground with the sword still stuck on his chest.

Now it is official, Air Jay is dead.

Naga lands on her knees and breaths heavily for all emotional effort she has made. She finally did it, she avenged her mother, but deep inside she feels a big emptiness and somewhere deep inside she feels like Air Jay was really innocent.

"Great work, magnificent!" Booley applauded. "You finally destroyed that monster."

"Yes indeed." Naga said in a low voice. "It's still a little hard to believe that he's ultimately dead."

Booley walks to Air Jay dead body and removes a sword from the back of his jacket. "Ah yes, my old sword! You were thinking on killing me with my sword, didn't you Air Jay? It the end it didn't work out, I'm the one who got vengeance for you killing my brothers and my father those many years ago!"

"Many years ago?" Naga repeated then looks back to the sword that Booley take from Air Jay, it is indeed the same sword that killed her mother, but she gasped by the way Booley is holding the sword, she never forgot that way of holding a sword, it was the same way the killer hold his sword the night her mother was killed. "No……it can't be……" Naga's eyes get all watery when she realised that Air Jay was really telling the truth, he was innocent. "You monster, it was you! You killed my mother!"

Booley looks back at Naga with a grin. "That's right. It took you a long time to figure it out, but you Seilune people are too slow.

"But it can't be! I saw Air Jay that night."

"A wig stupid, I was wearing a wig that night so Air Jay could get the blames, it was a plan formulated by your Uncle Christopher."

"My uncle?" Naga repeated, not believing in her hears.

"Yes the original plan was to kill you, your father and your sister so that your uncle could have your mother and become king of Seilune, in the end she got in the way and end up being killed, and I had to be like this ever since!" Booley removes his hood to reveal the enormous scar on his face that is covered with a silver plate. Naga looked disgusted at Booley for his horrible look. "Not a pretty sight, is it? YOU did this to me but luckly Zurten found me and saved my life but all this time I've waited for my chance for revenge, and now its pay back time!"

Because of the entire trauma Naga is still very weak to fight Booley, she can not believe that she will become another victim of this coward.

"And now die!!" Booley lifted his sword right up in the air, ready to slash Naga. "How marvellously poetic, two sorceresses with the same sword." In that moment Naga's sword flew to the air and Naga saw it and jumped to the air to grab her sword.

"What? How did your sword…." Booley never finished his sentence because Naga stabbed her sword into his chest.

"DIE!!!!!!!" Naga cried emotionally, pressing her sword deeply into Booley's chest just like she did with Air Jay, and this time she saw all the blood coming out of Booley until he lost his balance and fall to the ground with the sword still stuck on his chest. This time Naga could not help her self and loses conscious.

Booley spited blood out of his mouth, feeling his life slowly ending. "It can't be…I was so close…..how did that sword jump to the air?"

"I did it." Booley managed to look up to see Air Jay, still alive and well and with his eyes all red of fury. "But the sword was poisoned, how did you survived?"

Air Jay did not respond him, he just steps his foot on Booley's head, breaking it completely, then removes the sword stuck on Booley's chest and burns his body with a fireball. "Coward piece of crap, you deserve to die!" then he looks back at Naga who is still unconscious. "You used me and played with me, you also don't deserve to live."

Air Jay walked to Naga and lifted his sword in the air, he was about ready to kill Naga when suddenly a force field surround Air Jay, stopping him from killing Naga. "What? Who did this?"

Air Jay looks to his left to see Kiko who is operating the force field with his magic. "Kiko, what are you doing? Let me go!"

"(No!)" Kiko telepathically replied. "(I can not let you kill Gracia. I know that you like to kill everyone who tricks you and uses you but damn it, she is your friend!)"

"FRIEND?!?!?" Air Jay shouted furiously. "She's been planning on killing me all this time; she even oiled her sword with the same poison Phill used to kill my family! You still think she's my friend?"

"(Air Jay, she was fooled all this time like everyone else!)"

"If she was truly my friend she would not have accused me just like her father did!"

Kiko remain in silence for a moment. "(Air Jay I don't believe you, I thought you would have understand. Just like you she suffered the horrible vision of seeing her love one being murdered right in sight. How do you think this type of things can mess up a person? And has for the sword, I always knew that it had the poison but I remove it, that is why you are still alive, just like I always knew that Naga was Gracia.)"

"What, you knew? And you never told me?"

"(Yes, I didn't want Gracia to get suspicious in case you knew who she was. But come on man, don't kill her. You two were the best of friends back in the days, you always had the best of times when you were together, and always played the most wicked of pranks on every one. Don't destroy a long time friendship because of something that Christopher has done. Speak to her, work out your differences.)"

Air Jay did not say a word, he was still very undecided about letting Naga live or not.

Kiko notice that. "(And don't forget about your promise to Sylvinia. You promise her that you would protect her daughters.)"

Air Jay blinked when he heard that, it is true, he did promise that on the same day when Sylvinia was killed, it is almost like she knew what was going to happen to her. As much as Air Jay hates to admit it Kiko is right, the only guilty ones here is Booley and Christopher. "Aright Kiko, you win……I'll talk with her."

With those words Kiko breaks down the force field and Air Jay sits down next to Naga, waiting for her to wake up. Talking has never been Air Jay's strong point, he prefers to kill than talking so this will be quite hard for him

-----

Naga opens his eyes to find herself still in the dudgeon and alive none the less.

"Finally awake, huh?" Air Jay asked.

Naga immediately got to her feet when she heard Air Jay's voice. "You're alive? But how?"

"Show some gratitude baby, if it wasn't for me the other guy would have kill you. And I'm alive thanks to Kiko, he removed the poison from your sword and thanks to that I'm still a mean, teen, breathing machine."

Naga looks down at the dog, she just wonders how Kiko managed to remove the poison. "I see……"

"I believe this is yours." Air Jay then throws back the sword to Naga. His eyes always remain serious.

Naga just grabs her sword and return those serious eyes. They remain serious gaze with each other for a few moments Naga decides to talk. "Damn it, say something! Don't you have anything to say after what happen?"

"What do you want me to say? WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY!?!?" Air Jay shouted. "You tricked me and use me! And worst of all you didn't believe me! Damn it Gracia, you were my friend, you knew me better than anyone else, why didn't you believe me? And tell me the truth here, Garcia! It's time for us to be honest with each other."

Naga stayed in silence for a moment before answering Air Jay's question. "It was a very convincing scene, Booley was so well disguised as you what do you want me to say?"

"Gracia, you acted like your father!" Air Jay shouted. "You were just busy with your own version of the story, that….." Air Jay's so infuriated that he forced himself to take a deep breath. "I…I don't know what to say……"

"Hey come on, it was my Uncle's fault, he made all this mess and made us turn against each other."

"Yes, I know, but you have to admit that mess up really good!"

"What?" Naga snapped. "Me admit that I goof up? OOOOHOHOHOHOHO! I am Naga the Serpent, I never mess things up!"

"Gracia why is it that in a time like this you have to act so…….so like that?" Air Jay complained. "Damn it woman why can't you leave you pride aside and admit that you mess up? I promise I won't tell anyone."

Naga looks back at Air Jay, by the look of his eyes it is like he's pleading. After all that has happen Air Jay kind of deserves this. "Ok, your right, I admit! I mess up. I was caught up with this and so disturbed with my mother's death that I didn't start a real investigation, I'm ashamed to say that I act like my father. I was so caught up with my anger that I ignored my heart. So I admit, for the first time of my life I admit that I goof up. And I'm sorry!" she said in an annoyed tone but deeply honestly.

Airt Jay was surprised with her, he always wanted her to admit that she made a mistake but this is the most honest thing he ever heard from her. "There is wasn't so hard." Air Jay said, tapping Naga on the shoulder.

For the first time in a long time, Naga gives Air Jay a soft smile but she wasn't going to let Air Jay win this one. "So what about you? Don't you have something to confess?"

"Who me? Nope……"

"Air Jay, you said that this is the time where we must be honest with each other. I confess my guilt so it is time for you to confess yours!" Naga said in a loud voice. "You had other intentions when I ask you to join me in this quest for the crystal, didn't you?"

"Why of course not!" Air Jay lied. So Naga shoots a freeze Arrow at Air Jay head, freezing his head completely.

"Air Jay…" Naga said in a warning tone.

Air Jay melts the ice off his head then takes a deep breath. "Ok, ok! The only reason why I join in your little adventure was because I wanted to go to bed with you. And I feel guilty, for the first time in my life I feel guilty. There, are you happy? Never in my life had I felt so guilty! DO YOU HEAR ME WORLD? THE ALL MIGHTY AIR JAY FEEL'S GUILTY!!!!" Air Jay takes another deep breath. "But I never took advantage on you, even so……I'm sorry."

Kiko on his hand was surprised, these two were really honest with each other, all this time Kiko has saw them being vain with each other but this time they were straightforward with each other in a very different level.

Even Naga was amazed with Air Jay's honesty. "Ok, then what about the kiss?"

Air Jay blushed with that question. "The kiss? That……that was good, quite the best kiss I ever had in my life." Air Jay then shakes his head. "I mean , if you go with that sort of stuff."

Naga blushed but them she laughs. "OHOHOHOHOH!!!! Of course it was the best kiss, Naga the Serpent has the lips that all men dreams off!"

Air Jay shakes his head again, but this time with a smile.

Naga then looks back at Air Jay with a soft face. "So I guess we own apologies to each other, no?"

"Looks like it. So are we still friends, Gracia?" Air Jay asked as he lifted his hand for a hand shake.

"First: don't call me Gracia, my name Is Naga, Naga the Serpent! Second: yes, we are friends." And Naga shakes Air Jay's hand.

"Au Au!!!" Kiko barked.

"What did he say?" Naga asked.

"He said that now is all said and forgiven, it is time to settle our scores with Zurten." Air Jay responded.

"A very good point. I own that old man for tricking me."

"Alright! The Trio is back in the game." Air Jay said as he picks up Kiko.

Naga sighed. "Why do you always call our team the Trio? It is just you and me? Why do you always had Kiko to the team?"

"One day you'll find out."

After saying that, the Trio start their chase on Zurten.

To be continued…..

Alandra: this is what every one waited, the fight between Air Jay and Naga.

Sunny: and now the Trio is going to face Zurten.

Ramon: more to come. Please read and review.
