Chapter Two

Catti-Brie finds Drizzt over by the pond that was about four houses away from Kayla's. Drizzt turns his head and smiles gently as he sees that Cattie-Brie is in his presence.

"Evening." He greets her.

"Hello Drizzt." Catti-Brie says as she sits next to the standing drow. "What might you be doing out here?"

"Thinking…about the mission, sigh! Why must we find the medallion?"

"Because you promised Kai that in exchange for that power sphere, remember?"

"I didn't need my sword strengthened that much. I would have been better off just leaving it the way it was."

Drizzt, now honestly, I think it's nice that we're helping Kai out."

"I don't mind helping her out either, it's just…I don't know. What if we run into that Sephiroth character again? He's dangerous and strong. He is not only a danger to us, but to Kayla and Katie also."

"That's why we need to train them."

"I-what?" Drizzt looks at Catti-Brie with a questioning look.

"You know, so they can protect themselves when we're not around, though when I think about how scrawny they are its kinda pathetic."

"Catti, stop that. They may be scrawny, but I bet if we trained them they could get powerful enough to at least damage an enemy, possibly even kill them."

"Yeah, possibly. Well, shall we begin?" Drizzt nods with a smile and softly kisses Catti-Brie's rose pedal lips.

Inside, Kai, Wulfgar, and Jarlaxle are watching a movie, Entreri is in his own little state of mind, and Kayla and Katie are making dinner. As Drizzt and Catti-Brie walk in, Kayla greets them happily, "Hey guys! How are you?" Drizzt nods and Catti-Brie replies, "Ok, I suppose." Drizzt looks around the room at his companions, he then realizes someone is missing.

"Kayla, where's Innovindal?" he asks with concern. This was very unusual. Innovindal was always around.

"I don't…know." Kayla replies.

"I honestly don't think that you two fighting is necessary!" Auron lectures harshly. "Besides, you're brothers, doesn't that mean anything to you?" Sesshomaru and Inuyasha glance at each other and then look away with anger. Auron sighs deeply. "You two are such children." He walks out of the castle and down the brick road of Besaid.

"Maybe he's right," Inuyasha says after a moment. "I mean, we should wait till after the mission so Auron will have a bigger team to battle with."

"I guess…but I will kill you!" Sesshomaru walks out of the castle after Auron; Inuyasha sighs deeply then heads off to find Tidus.

Sarah meanwhile is enjoying the warmth of the sun on the way to Luca. She walks, but stops when she hears a low growl. She pulls out her small samurai sword, Wow! Like this will protect me! she thinks to herself. Maybe I should train with a sword like Auron suggested. The creature jumps out so quickly that Sarah can't see what kind of creature is in her presence. She's scared, but still stands her ground.

"Come and get me!" Sarah yells. The creature puts a sword to her neck, but Sarah's heart pounds not as hard anymore as she recognizes the sword.

"Got you." The creature whispers in Sarah's ear with a soft laugh.

"Hi Auron." Sarah chuckles. He pulls back his sword and stabs it into the ground. "What's up?" she asks.

"Oh, many things." He says with an intelligent tone. "The sky, clouds, birds, Valfore, me sometimes-"

"Ok! I get it. How are you? Can you answer that?"

"Oh! Of course, is that what you meant?" he jokes. "I'm fine, and you?"

"Pretty good, um….when do we start the mission?"

"When the time comes, but before we go for Seymour I want to get Sephiroth."

"Why? Did he scar you? Steal something from you?"

"Yes, he stole my medallion."

"You mean the one Sesshomaru gave you? The one that's carved from a dragon's claw?"

"Yes. Apparently Cid tried tracking him down on the airship computer; his location is in some place called Mytheral Hall. Never heard of it, have you?" Sarah is quiet for a moment, then looks up in shock. "Oh my gosh!" she cried. "Mytheral Hall exists?"
