Parts missing.

"Mmm..." Meikyo mumbles feeling around. "Where am I?" Meikyo says out loud quietly.

She feels around more and feels a heavy blanket on her, feeling around more she feels someone next to her.

She finally opens her eyes and there is a Elvaan completely asleep, rolled on his side away from Mei.

Meikyo looks down and see's that she was reaching across the gap of beds, She suddenly felt very very Dumb for doing that without noticeing.

"Yeah, I cant believe you guys were so close." Meikyo hears Ippy's voice from down stairs. "Dont worry about it, im just glad your all safe."

Meikyo hears another voice, but it sounded more like the voice that casted the spell last night.

She rolls over onto her side and notices the Elvaan is awake and smileing at her, Mei's face turns beat red and hides under the covers.

"Sorry, did I wake you?" The Elvaan asks, reaching across the gap and pokeing Mei's ear.

"N-no..." Mei answers like a shy Child, her ear twitchs a little bit. "I hope you dont mind, when your cart fell on you i had to put something on your bruise." The Elvaan told her warmly. Meikyo feeled up her side and felt a stinging pain on her side. "Thank you..." Meikyo blushed with sort of a twisted pain but thankfulness.

"Man, how rude of me, I didnt even tell you my name." The Elvaan started to laugh. " I'm Nolan, I guess i should of told you that before i took off your armor, But you sorta were fainting and such." Nolan laughed. "I'm, Meikyo..." Mei replied and uncoverd her head and looked at Nolan and smiled warmly. "Where am I?" Meikyo asked looking around. "Bastok, my house, were above an Inn." Nolan smiled and layed on his back and closed his eyes.

"An Inn..." Meikyo thought as she pulled the blankets up more. " Your a Whitemage arnt you?" Nolan asked, turning his head abit to hear her.

"Yeah, i'm not very good, but im getting there." Meikyo replied turning to look at Nolan. " You want to join my linkpearl?" Nolan turned and smiled warmly and looking for a reply.

"Link...pearl?..." Meikyo asked. She never had a chance to have one, Ippy had one but she said it wasnt the type of thing she would be interested in. "Well, do you?" Nolan reached his hand across the gap, with a small Blue-green pearl in his palm. "Uhh, okay." Meikyo reached over across the gap meeting with Nolans hand. Nolan lifted his hand slightly above her's and tilted his palm, the pearl rolled onto her hand. " Cool, Welcome to the Black Ravens linkpearl!" Nolan smiled and sat up on his bed.

Meikyo looked at the pearl and glanced at Nolan, he was tall and strong looking person, Meikyo stared at him for a while and almost blushed if it wasnt for.

"Hey, Good morning Meikyo!" Shin had came up the stairs without her noticeing and sat on her bed. " Hi, Shin." Meikyo looked over at Shin and smiled. Shin and Nolan Smiled at eachother at thought the same thing. 'Back off...'

"Ummm, is there any place that i can take a bath?" Meikyo broke the deadly silence between the two. "Oh yes, its just over there, if you cant find it just ask me again." Nolan smiled warmly at Meikyo and pointed at a hall way.

As soon as Meikyo had entered the Bath room Nolans smile turned into a smooth stare at Shin. "Boy friend?" Nolan asked Shin as if gathering info. "No, I dont dont think of her as any relation to me either." Shin replied, coldly stareing back at Nolan. "Hah, i meant with the girl down stairs."

Nolan laughed and seemed to relax more. "Why are you asking?" Shin stared questionily.

Nolan shruged and looked back at him. "Well, two Mithra traveling with one Guy." Nolan started to laugh again. "Your a freak." Shin said coldly and walked back down stairs.

Meikyo steped into the water in the Tub, her tail seemed to flick around happily from the water. "I havent been in a bath in a while" Mei smiled and slowly sat down into the tub. Meikyo sat at the end of the bath and folded her clothes neatly, the pearl Nolan gave her rolled out into the water and sank to the bottom. "Oh no!" Meikyo gasped and started feeling around for the pearl at the bottom of the tub.

"No, please, come back to me!" Meikyo almost grabed it but as her hand got closer it rolled around more. "Please please please" She beged the pearl to stay still but it wouldnt. "Please, Stop it." She stared at the top of the water and felt around slowly for it. The water started to spin around slowly into a small whirl at the top of the water. Meikyo poked the top and the pearl shot out and sat calmly on her neatly folded clothes.

Meikyo didnt remember learning a spell to controll water, she stared at her finger for alittle bit. She started taping the water to see if it would work, but it didnt. She thought it was just luck, a fluke, a dream. "Knock knock" Someone outside the bathroom tapped on the door a few times and opened it. A Very beautiful Hume girl walked in, her long black hair was put to her side on her shoulder. She smiled and knelt down to Mei.

"Hey there cutie" The Girl smiled at Mei and put down a basket of herbs and bandages. Meikyo never being called that, started to blush.

"I'm Marie, Once your done in here i got to replace your bandages, Kay?" Marie left the basket and stood back up. Meikyo Noded a few times quickly. Marie smiled and walked out shutting the door behind her. "Who are these people." Meikyo thought to her self.

"These people sure are nice" Ippy smiled at Shin as he was sitting next to her. "Yeah, dont go to close to that Nolan guy." Shin said stareing at the stairs. Ippy stared at Shin like he was dum, and quickly sent aside his warning.

"Okay I gave Mei the herbs and Bandages and now I'll start on breakfast!" Marie hopped down stairs and walked to the counter and started mixing stuff into a bowl. Marie was Giggling and humming as she worked.

"Wow, first you save us, now your cooking us breakfast!?" Ippy stared at Marie suprised. "You bet, plus you guys looked like you needed a place to stay." Marie giggled and snaped her fingers at the stove and it lit a small fire. Ippy stared at the fire and started to smile. "Wow, your a Blackmage?!"

'Authers note: Blackmages are the Twin class to Whitemage, Whitemage Heals, while Blackmage Destroys. Basicly, they controll the basic elements.'

"Do you want to join my team?!" Ippy asked Marie hopeing for a yes. "Nope sorry, Nolan and I are already part of a team." Marie smiled warmly comforting Ippy. "And besides, I can sorta kill monsters with a snap of the fingers." Marie smiled and started cooking again. "Ooo, its okay." Ippy recovered quickly. "What type of person is Nolan..." Shin asked quickly. " Mmmm, He is good guy, I trust him with my life everyday!" Marie giggled.

"So he isnt a pervert?" Shin asked coldly. Marie stopped and turned around with a Questioned face. "What he do?" Marie asked Shin.

"Nothing really." Shin replied stareing at Marie. "Okay, he isnt a bad person mind you, he just rubs some people the wrong way."

Shin sighed and relaxed, leaning on Ippy's shoulder.

"There dirty..." Meikyo sighed stareing at her clothes. She wiggled her finger thru a hole on her shirt, Meikyo hopped out of the Tub and dried of her hair and tied a towl around her. Mei looked at the Bruise on her side, it went up to just below her arm and below her waist.

Mei opened the door and walked out into the hall way, she went to the bed and started to feel lightheaded.

The cold air and her warm body made her feel weak and she layed on the bed and went to sleep.

Meikyo wakes up and its dark, she starts to feel a little bit starved. "Ippy, Shin, are you here?" Meikyo stepped out of bed with the blankets covering her like a cloak. "Ahh, Mei!!" Marie walked up to Meikyo and hugged her and started to wiggle feeling her body. "Ohhh, your soooo little!" Marie let go of Mei slowly and sat on the counter. "Where is Ippy, and Shin?" Meikyo looked up at Marie feeling lost. "Oh ya, They went to the dunes without you, said for you to get new armor and a chocobo and meet at dunes." Marie said sternly but started to giggle.

"They left, me?..." Mei stared down at the ground feeling sorta sad and alone. "Hey, Who's this pretty lady?" A young man was sitting at the table leaning back on a chair with his feet on the table. "This is Meikyo, she is staying here till she gets her bearings." Marie replied for Meikyo to the man. "Please dont start anything again, its not good for the Linkpearl rep." A galka that was walking in started takeing off his armor and a Small dragon flew past him to a chair to sit on.

Meikyo started to blush still not being dressed yet, someone picked up Meikyo and brought her upstairs. Nolan put Meikyo on a bed and put down some sleeping clothes. "Sorry if there to big, we didnt have any spare clothes and we put your other clothes with the others..." Nolan itched his nose and looked away from Meikyo. "They might be big, there my old Pajamas."

Meikyo lifted the clothes up to her face and smelled them, they smelled like a faded smell of sweat and soap. "I washed them ten times... sorry if the smell is still there..." Nolan started to feel dum and not just take some of Marie's stuff. "No, Its okay, I like it." Meikyo smiled and put the clothes on under the blankets, The sleeves went a good 5 inchs past her hands and the bottom of the shirt was like a skirt. "Thank you very much!" Meikyo hugged Nolan who was a good 2 feet taller then her. "No problem, just get some rest." Nolan blushed and went down stairs.

Meikyo covered up in the blankets and quickly fell asleep, forgeting about Ippy leaveing her alone.
