A/N: Hey again guys. I just realized how quickly I've been updating. I hope that's alright with you guys, if not then I can tone it down some. Anyways, I love this chapter. It's rather...comfy in the beginning. You'll see as you read. Please, show the love and review! I'll work on my other stories when I can. Oh, and please, check out my newest story We Found Love. Its a co-written story between me and a good friend TeeBeMe. If not, then at least check out her stories. They're really good. Oh, also, check out Erin Bloodrein Sage's stories as well. They're really good. Especially her story Bloodrein, it's pretty kickass. OokamiLover19 has a lot of good stories as well. I'm done talking now.

DISLAIMER: I would just like to take the time to say one itty bitty lil thing. I own EVERYTHING! All the characters being used in this story, the dimension, what's going on, and the like is all my own original ideas. My friend Ookami helped me come up with the names for Katsume, Daiki, Kenta, Kouhai, Raiden, and Hikaru, but the descriptions, their last names, and their back stories are all me. Cece, her sister, her family, and her three friends Tatami, Naka, and Mia are all mine. Now that that's over, let's get on with the story.

-Zapphirra-

I stared at Kenta in shock for a few seconds before jumping out of my seat and launching myself at him. Thankfully he caught me.

"Kenny!"

I shouted as I hugged him and heard him laugh as he hugged me back.

"It's good to see you haven't changed since we've been gone."

He said as he set me on my feet and pulled away.

"Oh, I wouldn't say I haven't changed at all, just a little bit."

I said as I laid my hand on his arm and let some of my miko powers cover my hand.

"Aww fuck!"

he shouted as he snatched his arm back.

"What the hell was that for!?"

He asked as he rubbed the spot on his arm that had gotten burned.

"I've gotten full control over my miko abilities since coming here."

I said simply and he frowned at me while rubbing his arm to soothe the pain.

"You got burned, literally."

Kouhai said and Kenta glared at him.

I couldn't help but laugh at them. That caused them to turn to look at me with wicked smiles on their faces. They both slowly started walking towards me and I stepped back every time they stepped towards me.

"What are you guys planning?"

I asked warily and their smiles widened to show their fangs and I turned and ran into the living room of the house only to get tackled to the ground by them and getting tickled mercilessly.

"Hahahaha, stop!"

I shouted between laughs, but they ignored me and continued to attack me.

I tried pushing them off me, but when I managed to get one off the other would take advantage of my distraction and tickle me even more.

"I give!"

I yelled and they both stopped and let me breathe. I playfully glared at them both when I saw they were smiling at me.

"You guys are assholes."

I said and Kenta simply smirked which made me reach up and playfully smack the back of his head as I rest mine on Kouhai's lap as he leaned back against the couch.

We fell into a comfortable silence in which time I'd moved so my legs were on Kenta's lap and my head was in Kouhai's lap with all three of us sitting on the couch.

"So, what's this I hear about you killing a couple of chickens Kenny?"

I asked Kenta and he rubbed the back of his head. His hair had gotten quite shaggy, but it looked good on him.

"I kinda got...thirsty."

He said guiltily and I couldn't help but laugh at him.

"I'm glad you find it funny. I"m the one who has to pay for Gale to get twelve new Razorback Chickens in the middle of Fall."

Kouhai said and I laughed even more at the number of chickens Kenta had killed.

"Damn Kenny, have the munchies much?"

I asked and we all burst out laughing.

"I've been meaning to ask."

I said once I got my laughter under control.

"What's that Celia?"

Kouhai asked and I looked up at the ceiling while playing with a strand of my hair.

"What's up witht he animals here? That cow looked like the fucked up love child of a cow on crack and an armadillo that's had one too many shots of heroine."

I said and Kenta burst out laughing at my comment while Kouhai smiled at me.

"We do have normal animals."

He said and I looked at him skeptically.

"Like what?"

I asked with a raised eyebrow making him smirk.

"I will have you know our dogs, rabbits, goats, sheep, pigs, the majority of our fish, and our insects are completely normal."

He said and I looked at him in shock before smiling.

"What about your cats, horses, wolves, foxes, and obviously fucked up cows and birds?"

I asked and heard someone else's laughter join mine and Kenta's and turned to see Gale walk into the room.

"You're quite something Cecelia."

He said and I flashed him a smile.

"Why thank you Gale."

I said as he sat down on the chair across from us.

"Our horses are what you guys would call Pegasus, our cats are huge, our wolves are demons that can change from animal formto human, our foxes somewhat look like raccoons, and I have nothing to say about our cows and birds. Even I think they're fucked up."

He said and I laughed at him.

I glanced out the window to see the two suns had moved across the red sky and were almost in the middle of it.

'Wow. I didn't think that much time had passed.'

I thought to myself.

"You gotta leave, don't you?"

Kenta asked, noticing where I was looking. I smiled at him before sitting up and sitting between him and Kouhai.

"Yeah, I've got to get all the way to the Northern Province to see Raiden."

I said and Kenta looked at me confused.

"Why do you need to see Rai?"

He asked and I blushed slightly and was about to answer him when Gale cut me off.

"That's her business Ken."

He said and helped me to my feet.

"Thank you."

I whispered to him before heading for the door with Kenta and Kouhai following me.

"Will you be okay by yourself?"

Kouhai asked once we were outside and I nodded.

"Yeah. I am a miko who knows martial arts afterall."

I said and he laughed before pulling me into a hug.

"You're just full of surprises aren't ya?"

I heard Gale ask as I gave Kenta a hug as well.

"You don't know the half of it."

I said with a smile as I stepped back and looked at the three of them.

"It was really great to see you guys again. Thanks for the meal and I'll see you around."

I said before waving goodbye to them and starting off towards the direction Hikaru had told me to go.

-Kenta-

I watched as Celia's figure disappeared in the woods and Gale walked inside. Kouhai and I stayed by the fence for a little while longer before I just realized something.

"Hey Kou."

I said and he looked at me to show he was paying attention.

"If Celia said she needed to go see Rai, then why is she headed West?"

I asked and his eyes widened before he laughed and shook his head.

"I swear, Hikaru is the worst at giving directions."

He said and I smiled as I knew what he was talking about. How Hikaru managed to go anywhere was a mystery to us since his directional skills were less than a five year old's.

"At least we don't have to worry about anything."

He said and I looked at him for an explanation.

"She's heading into Daiki's lands."

He said as he turned and walked back towards the house. I smiled as I realized he was right, then followed after him. Daiki would make sure nothing bad happened to our dear, sweet Celia. He was the Prince of the Western Province after all.

A/N: Poor Cece. She just wants to go see Rai, but keeps getting sidetracked, not that she minds since she gets to see her friends. Hikaru just sucks at directions and Cece is getting effected by it. Hope you guys enjoyed the chapter, i'll try to update soon. I'll give a prize to anyone who can guess what will happen next.
