A/N: I love you guys so much that I ignored all my teachers all day to write this for you, well, at least some of the time, the rest I was doing my work and taking notes, but you get the point. Hope you guys enjoy, tell me what you thought via review.

-Zapphirra-

I thanked Zane adn Victor for escorting me to the bottom of the mountain and they both apologized for attacking me when we first met. I told them not to worry about it and waved goodbye before walking through the grass in the direction Hikaru had told me to go.

I looked around and now that I wasn't in that freaky ass forest I could actually appreciate how this place looked. It was weird looking up at a red sky that had two different colored suns, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't beautiful. The calf high grass brushed against my legs as it was blown by the wind. It wasn't really hot, or cold. It was comfortably in the middle of both, it kind of reminded me of the weather during Fall. It was silent as I walked through the grass and it was rather peaceful.

I jumped and whirled around at the sudden loud 'moo' I heard to my left only to blink in confusion at the animals standing on the other side of a fence a few feet away from me.

'How is it that I failed to notice a huge ass farm right next to me?'

I wondered to myself as I looked over the pasture the creatures were in. They made the sounds of cows, but they had six legs and looked like an armadillo mixed with a cow.

'Hikaru hadn't been kidding when he said things were different here.'

I thought before I heard my stomach growl.

"That's just perfect. I"m in another dimension by myself and now I'm hungry."

I said aloud to myself before hearing what sounded like a door squeaking open.

I looked up to see the door of a big, brown barn-looking building open only to see a guy with silver hair cut around his neck and styled a little like Kouhai's walk backwards out of the building.

"I don't care Kou, your friend still went crazy and killed my chickens."

The silver haired guy said.

"But Gale, he said he was sorry!"

I heard what sounded like Kouhai's voice say from behind the silver haired guy now known as Gale.

"I don't give a damn Kouhai, that's still gonna come out of your pocket. Do you know how hard it is to get Razorback Chickens this late in the season?"

Gale said and my heart jumped at Kouhai's name and when the familiar blonde stepped into view.

He was wearing a shirt that looked like it had cowpatch patterns on it and a pair of blue jeans on. His hair had gotten longer and looked really messy.

"But Gale-"

Kouhai started, but stopped when my stomach growled again. I blushed when I saw both look over at me. I saw Kouhai's eyes widen when he saw me and I blushed again.

"Cecelia!?"

He asked in disbelief and I smiled at him and next thing I know he's right infront of me then suddenly spinning me around in a hug.

"What are you doing here?"

He asked once he set me back down on my feet. I opened my mouth to start to tell him when my stomach growled again.

"Why don't you get your friend some food first Kou, before her stomach starts to gnaw at her spine."

Gale said and I blushed as Kouhai laughed but led me inside the rather nice sized farm house.

-Kouhai-

When I went to talk to Gale about Kenta's midnight hunger phase I hadn't been expecting to run into someone I knew, especially not Cecelia. Now I had her sitting at the kitchen table while I made her a sandwhich and some chips.

"Here ya go."

I said as I set it infront of her and sat down across from her.

"Thanks."

She said quietly before starting to eat.

"So what are you doing here?"

I asked as she ate. She swallowed the bite in her mouth before answering me.

"Tami turned out to be a Sorceress and because she realized how I really felt opened a portal for me to come see you guys and I wound up in the middle of this freaky forest. But I'm mainly chose to come here because I need to see Raiden."

She said and I blunked in shock at Tami being a Sorceress before smiling at the fact Celia seemed to have finally realized her feelings for Raiden.

While we were staying with her she'd shown interest in only Katsume, Raiden, and briefly for Kenta and I. Though as she spent more time with us it seemed she kept going from Katsume to Raiden. I'm not sure what caused her to choose or when she did, but apparently Raiden had done something to win her affections.

"I see. Does anyone else know you're here?"

I asked as she finished the sandwhich and downed the glass of water I'd given her.

"Hikaru does, I stayed with him and his pack last night after we ran into each other in that forest."

She said and I stared at her in shock. For her to have been in the Demonic Republic for a full night and still be alive ws remarkable, especially since she had wound up in what sounds like the middle of Kiasha's Forest.

"You're planning on going all the way to the Northern lands by yourself?"

I asked and she nodded.

"So Kou, who's your friend?"

I heard Gale ask as he walked into the kitchen and I sighed.

"Gale, this is my friend Cecelia. Celia, this is the closest thing I have to a father, but you can just call him Gale."

I said and smiled when I heard her laugh. I had really missed that sound.

"So this is the infamous little woman who managed to become friends with not only you and Kenta, but the Alpha of the Southern wolf pack, both Princes of the North and West, and the great Wizard living on the border lands of the North?"

Gale asked and I saw Celia blush with each addition he made.

"Well then, its a pleasure to be able to meet such a charming young lady."

He said and I saw Celia blush even more at Gale's words.

"She's also a miko that'll cuss you out just as quickly as she'll kick your ass."

Kenta's voice sounded from the doorway and we turned to see him standing there with a smile on his face.

"Hello Celia."

A/N: Cliffy, I know, but I couldnt' resist. Know that some animals will be like the ones in Zapphirra's world, while others, like the razorback chickens and the armadillo cows won't be. I have no pics of them, so just use your imagination. What was your fav part? And what do you guys think so far? Any ideas for what you think is gonna happen in the next couple of chapters? Review and I'll update when I can.
