Disclaimer, Mrs. Pierce rocks, she owns every single cute adorable, hot and
handsome
person, (I'm talking about the guys).
Chapter one: a little bit of everything.
Sergeant Domitan of Masbolle leaned over the edge of Steadfast, a spyglass glued to his
eye. He scanned the raining landscape for the hundredth time..in the past few
seconds.
"I never thought he'd be that eager to see his cousin," a passing soldier told his
companion, "I heard they always argued."
"Me to," soldier number two agreed, "But then again, mother always said people
change quickly."
Dom was about to tell them he wasn't waiting for Meathead, but decided not to,
as a small group of warriors rode down the road to Steadfast.
And, among those warriors, was the very special person he'd been dying to see in
months.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Keladry of Mindelan (and this is spelled correctly, I checked it!) cursed as the rain
started, but then blessed the view of Steadfast.
They'd been riding for hours, and everyone was tired and grouchy. By everyone, she
meant Sir Meathead.
"Oh, Oh, here we are!!" he cried out, happily, "I'll see my own little goddess in
just..."
"Neal shut up, go ride ahead if you..." Neal didn't wait for her to finish, racing
his horse toward the fortress.
"Milady is that what love does to you, or is it just Sir Meathead?" Tobe asked in a
disgusted tone looking after Neal.
"'Tis Sir Meathead, Tobe."
"So you're not going to be like that?"
"Course not, Tobe, 'tis not like anyone would.."
"That's not true, milady, your very pretty," He said, blushing a bit.
Kel smiled at him, and looked forward again. As they neared the gate, they saw Neal
waiting outside, pouting.
"He won't let me in!" Neal complained.
"Who?" Kel asked.
"Well if it isn't the lovely lady knight!" an all too familiar voice called out, "open
the gate lads."
"Dom, what *are* you doing keeping your desperate cousin out?" She asked,
grinning.
"Torturing him." Was the simple reply. Kel laughed.
Inside the gates Dom was waiting, grinning broadly.
"What took you so long?"
"You were waiting, cousin, lovesick perhaps?" Neal asked teasingly.
"Neal, I believe someone's been waiting for you?" Dom said, and Neal jumped,
and then ran off in some direction.
"I wonder how long it'll take him to figure out she's in the northern wing, not
southern." Dom said, grinning again. Just then Neal passed them, running in the northern
direction.
"About two seconds." Kel replied.
"He must be eager!" Kel laughed at Dom's comment and followed a soldier who
showed her to her rooms.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kel smiled to herself and walked through the mess halls' doors. A bunch of whistling and
shouts greeted her, and she laughed. This was where the soldiers, knights, and own's men
ate, and she was probably the only female there..plus she was wearing a dress.
It was one of the one's Lasala had made for her, and she had never worn. It was a
plain, pale green dress. The sleeves reached her elbows, and the hem swept past her feet.
Around the middle she wore a dark green ribbon belt, with one end meeting in the middle
and going down the dress' front, stopping at the hem. It was quite beautiful, and Kel
defiantly wasn't ugly in it! The only thing wrong with it was the neckline. It stopped just
short of the chest, showing a bit of her..womanly features.
She smiled, and, for a joke, swept into a neat curtsy. The hall applauded again,
calling for encore. She laughed and shook her head, walking over to her friends and Yuki.
Embracing her Yamani friend she heard Neal mutter, "There, now she's done it,
she'll have men after her all the time!" Just then Dom walked over, and threw his hands
up as she straightened up from Yuki's hug.
"Oh my! The goddess has finally come," he shouted, putting a hand to his heart
faking a faint.
Kel played along, and faked a loud gasp. "Oh my goodness," she walked closer to
him, staring at him like he was a mad man. Then she said, loud enough for all to hear,
"Dom, my dear, are you taking something?"
Kel gasped and fake shrieked, turning to Lord Raoul.
"Milord, I thought you forbid drinking in your service!" She brandished a finger
at him, playing again. "Look what it's done to my baby!"
The men roared with laughter, applauding.
"Thank you, thank you!! I'll be here for the wedding too!" She said, curtsying
again.
Dom himself was bending over with laughter, his head red. He straightened and
took her hand, kissing it. "My love, I thought we agreed to keep our relationship secret!"
he whispered loudly.
"Oh, but how," she put her hand to her forehead, "can I? My love for you is
simply to strong!"
"Really?" Dom asked, not faking, "You really love me?"
Kel laughed, making Dom's heart beat faster. "Fat chance, o great sir." She lied.
Dom made a pouting face, but smile and sat down next to her.
Buri and Yuki, the only other females present, were giggling helplessly, and the men
were either roaring with laughter or burying their face in their food to hide the red on
their faces.
"Well, this is a nice greeting!" Kel said, playing offended, and starting to eat.
"Milady, I thought you said it was only Sir Meathead who acted idiotic when he
was in love." Tobe said, though he was smiling.
"I'm not in l.." But Kel stopped as Neal clawed out after her.
"Idiotic?" he screamed, "idiotic?!"
"Help!" Kel leaned back.
Dom looked at Tobe, "In love you say, do you think there's a chance between ..."
"Dom, clam up! I do not love you!"
"Oh, well you know what the priest said to the princess..." Neal started.
"'I live in hope'" Dom finished, batting his eyelashes at Kel.
"One," the two cousins looked at each other alarmed. They both knew what Kel
was doing: counting down to their destruction.
"Two" she went on.
"Ooops, it's my turn to guard," Dom said, hurrying off.
"Oh, I think I hear Yuki call me," Neal said, rushing off after his cousin.
"I'm right here though." Yuki said, shaking her head.
"Well, then, mother is calling!" Neal said, sticking his through the door way, and
then disappearing.
"Three," Kel finished, and dug into her food, "Goddess, work makes me hungry."
Lord Raoul and the rest of the table laughed, and started to talk about the last few
months.
What do you think? Don't worry, there'll be more action!
