A/N: Hello, it's me again. My laptop is up and running so now I can update quicker. So, on with chapter two!!

Remember Me

Chapter Two

Welcome

"Damn that Zala. Why do we have to ride on these smelly horses while he rides in hid family's carriage?" A silver haired knight was mumbling.

"Yzak, Athrun wanted to ride out here with us, but his father ordered him to ride in the carriage with him and Lady Zala. So, it can't be helped." Nicol said in a reasonable tone.

"Yeah, and didn't you say, Joule-baka, that you wanted to arrive in Onogoro all proud and noble on your horse so that even the princess would fall for you." Shinn retorted.

"Shut the hell up or I'll shove my dagger up your ass Asuka." Yzak threatened. Shinn just put on an arrogant smirk on his face and said nothing.

"Speaking of the princesses," Dearka said. "How much do you think they've changed?"

Yzak started in a mocking tone. "Well for the kingdom's sake, they both better have stopped dressing up as boys just to see a joust. It must be embarrasing for the king and queen to have such boyish daughters. I wish them luck in finding those two husbands."

"Yzak," Nicol said. "You better not talk about the princesses like that in front of Athrun.

"Oh please," Yzak shot back. "Like he'd do anything, besides, it's the truth anyways."

"Well" Dearka interrupted. "If you don't be careful Yzak, you just might be pick to wed one of the princesses. You just better hope it's Kira, at least she won't try to rip you apart."

"Oh be quiet everyone!" Shinn shouted. "We're getting closer to Onongoro." The knight all piped down as the gate started to open.

--Meanwhile--

The main road was crowded with carriages, carts, and horses. All of this belonged to five families, the most, belonged to the second richest family in orb, the Zala's.

Lord Patrick Zala, was known to be ruthless with his enemies and as noble as the king with friends and family. His wife Lenore, was very much like her friend, Queen Via, except she had blue-black hair and green eyes. In their twenty year marriage, they had twins, Ayame, older by two minutes and married to the Kira's older brother Prince Arashi, and Athrun, newly knighted and heir to the family.

"Dear, how long has it been since we visited Onogoro?" Lady Lenore asked her husband.

"Six years, four months, and two days." came the answer, not from Patrick, but from Athrun.

"My, I'm surprised that you remember Athrun." Lenore said to a blushing Athrun with a slight laugh. " Don't worry, I know how much you've missed a certain someone." She added in a sly voice and a wink, making Athrun blush even harder.

"Now sweetheart, stop teasing him." Patrick replied. "Now look presentable, we are getting closer to the palace."

"Welcome everyone." The voice of King Ulen filled the main courtyard.

"Your majesties." Came the chorus of voices, evevyone bowing or curtsying to the royal couple.

"Now, you now there's none of that except at formal events my friends." Ulen laughed while Via smiled. "Enough talk, the servants will show you all to your rooms."

As the five families went with one of the king's attendants, Ulen spoke again. "Patrick, my old friend, can you and your family come to my study? We have much to talk about."

"Lenore, it makes me so happy to see you again." Queen Via said as she hugged her childhood friend.

"Via, you've barely changed a bit. You seem so happy. Why?" Lenore responded.

"Well, I've seen you after six years and not only that, but soon both of my daughters shall be married to fine young men." Via said with a bright smile.

"Oh, I see. So who are the lucky men?" Lenore said, looking at her son.

"Now Lenore, you'll find that out at the ball." Ulen said leading Patrick back into the room. The two men had gone in private to talk about important matters. "Now I'll send someone to show all of you to your chambers."

The door opened revealing a young woman with aqua hair that stopped at the middle of her back and sparkling green eyes.

"Ayame!" Lenore and Athrun said at once.

The woman laughed and said, "Why are you surprised to see me I visited you a mere 2 months ago."

"I had hoped that marriage would tone your joking down a bit, I guess not." Athrun said regretfully.

"Well little brother, marriage has made me happier. I hope you'll find that out before you grow old and gray." Ayame said playfulling while sharing a look with her parents. "Now come, let me show you to your chambers and catch up some more."

A/N: Well, here it is. It's not as long as chapter one, but better than I had before. I'll try to continue this story even if it kills me! Anyway thanks to the following people:

MysticMaiden 18- I always wanted a story were Kira was a princess, so I wrote one!

furin-a- Lenore was just teasing Athrun when she said Ayoshi. She meant to say Kira but she didn't want Patrick to find out and yell about it. She knew he really missed Kira and how he feels about her. Even though he doesn't realize it yet. The engagement will be revealed in either chapter three or four.

Laura28182- Thanks for your opinion, but I will keep updating on Past Revealed as well. Don't worry about Kira, she'll get her happy ending soon enough. It might take a while though.

I'll update as soon as I can. See ya!
