Now for the 2nd chapter, I might just add a third one, just cause I feel like it, but I might not. Depends anyway, this chapter is from the part of episode 47 when Dan Hiri Weller (Konrad's dad) returns. OK, just so you know this chapter will include a bit more graphic, uh, stuff. If you catch my meaning. Of course in this chapter Dan Hiri does die, so you have been warned. Also I won't being adding the info on how Dan Hiri died, at least not details, and it will focus more on Gwendal's point of view and then it will be no one's. Enjoy.
Entry 1 (The day Dan Hiri Returns)
This morning was a most interesting start to the day. First, Wolfram (A/N: fan girl squeal WOLFY!!!!! faints) was talking about how he missed Konrad, and he wanted him to hurry home. Mother and I were discussing Dan Hiri, when Wolfram drew my attention to the window, it seems that both Konrad and Dan Hiri had come back. Normally it's just Konrad, but it seems Dan Hiri is here for some unknown purpose. I left quickly, I didn't especially want to see him again so I went to find Anissina, who had been working on some weird invention of her's. I never ask what they do anymore, she's developed a bit of a hobby in making these things, and I tend to be the one she tests them on. Of course, I am richly rewarded, but still..
When I came in she was fiddling with something, I didn't really want to know, besides I wasn't exactly looking at what was in her hands. See her inventions tend to explode sometimes, damaging whatever is around, including it seems Anissina's clothes.Her normal modest dress was pretty much shredded. It didn't leave much to the imagination, not that I need to use my imagination, I already knew what were under clothes. When she noticed me, she immediately blushed and moved to cover herself, but I beat her to it. When I had her safely tucked away into my arms, I told her who had arrived, she seemed rather surprised. It never ceases to amaze me on how well she can hold a grudge... or how long she can rant. When I fell asleep she was still ranting, of course, she noticed and then she woke me. She used her newest discovery of what woke me up to do so, she began undressing and I was immediately awakened. Then she told me to go fetch her some stuff from the armory, which is were Dan Hiri found me. He wanted me to go on a little journey with him. We leave tomorrow, Anissina isn't pleased, and has told me she had better here from me often or I won't be gettinganything when I return.
Entry 2 (When they stop to rest at a river)
Dan Hiri has us stopped for the night, he is making a fire to cook some fish he has caught. I was reading for a while, then he asked what maryoku I used, I told him it wasn't his business. he seems to want us to bond or something, and I refuse to do so. I have already sent of a carrier pigeon to Anissina, who is more then likely going to be pissed that I left before she awoke. The fact that she's in my room and not dressed might not help me...
I merely wrote a short message:
Anissina,
The man and i have stopped to rest, so I am taking this opportunity to write as you instructed. As I know you will be rather angry about me leaving, I figure I should apologize for that now. Just remember that if I had woken you, you would still be angry at the fact that i woke you only three hours after you fell asleep. Anyway, the man and I are not speaking at this point, but I have a feeling he will try and change that. I will write again soon.

Entry 3 (The next day)
I have been informed by a laughing Dan Hiri that I talk in my sleep. He said he heard me call a name in my sleep, and he asked me if Anissina and I were still friends. He also asked who Wolfram's father was. I answered both, the first one not exactly honestly, but the second one I answered right, it shut him up for a while. we have stopped again, and we will be wherever it is he is taking us by tomorrow afternoon. I received a message from Anissina, Dan Hiri read some of it when I wasn't noticing. He didn't know anything about our "relationship" as we have been hiding for a while and know what to put in a letter and what not to put.
She wrote a rather extensive letter:
Gwendal,
I am happy that you actually listen to my instructions and followed them this time. Wolfram has been missing you already, Konrad as well, but they have been training together to keep their minds occupied. Cheri-sama is being a bit dramatic about the fact that neither of you said good-bye. I on the other hand, will simply just get you back for it later. AND DON'T THINK I WON'T!! Even if you are right about the whole being annoyed with you waking me up, I don't care, I still wanted to say good-bye. So expect to be punished when you get back.
I also finished my latest invention, I will of course need your help to test it, as always. I call it "See something far away" - kun. Its a machine that with a small portable part, you can see something far away, wherever the portable part is. (A/N: Think of a camera and a television) I can't wait to try it out so make sure to hurry home.
Cheri-sama said that she wanted her brother to come and help her with some matter or something. Konrad tried to talk her out of it, but to no avail, he'll be in within the week apparently. So look forward to that "wonderful" presence when you get back.
Don't forget to write, and to stay healthy, I need you fit for the testing of my new invention.
Anissina
Dan Hiri, who managed to read most of it, laughed and said we had gotten good at writing without showing what was going on between us. That man is going to get it when we battle again.
Entry 4 (The day they arrive in the village)
It's a pretty interesting place this village, mazoku, human, and half-mazoku/half-human live here peacefully together. A young boy here Yozak, asked about Konrad. We agreed to take him back to the castle to see him again. We plan to fight some bandits that have been terrorizing this village. I also sent a new letter to Anissina, just about the village and how the journey is going, nothing important.
Later
We have taken care of a the bandits, but at a price, during the fight Dan Hiri was injured, and later died. The reason he wanted to fight me it seems, was to make sure his memory lived on in my hatred for him. At the moment, I feel not hate, but admiration. I sent a carrier pigeon to both mother and Anissina to inform them. I will be leaving tomorrow for Blood Pledge Castle, the young boy, Yozak will be traveling with me.
Entry 5 (Back at the castle the next day)
I have just arrived back at the castle, Yozak is staying with Konrad since we arrived in the middle of the night. I just got back to my room, Anissina is asleep so I'm groping to try and keep it that way. Mother was waiting up for me, as was Wolfram, it seems he found out about Konrad being half-human. Wolfram has a thing against humans, I don't know why, but he does. Mother was pretty much in tears, she asked for all the details. It's almost dawn now, so I think I should go wake Anissina.
Well, if I ever get to the third little thing I told you all about, you'll like it, but for now this is it. I know its a bit OOC, but most fics are. Hope you liked R&R.
