A/n:Moo. Okay, more fan fics from me! Probably no one has played Mystic Heroes, but, I wanna write a fic about it, so DON"T JUDGE ME! Please correct me if i make a mistake. And i dunno for sure, but i think Tai's the leader.
Don't know how old they are, so these are the ages I think they are:
Tai: (18, but it's his birthday in this chapter)19
Shiga: 17
Naja: 16
Lani: 16
I don't own Mystic Heroes. Koei(?) has the rights to it. :(
FYI:Our heroes' families have somewhat died and so they live together now. NO, not in one house....well....they live in little stone houses they found near a waterfall near Zetsu Falls. They live near a bamboo forest and a secret waterfall they named "Mystic Waters." There's some info.
"...." = scene change
"__" = means end/beginning of author's note or time change

Lani peeked around the tree,smiling. Today was a very special day.A very special day. She was going to tell the one she liked how she felt.
"There he is."
Even though she was a bit younger than Tai, she had developed a crush on him. He had out run Mirah four months earlier when she declared she was going to marry him and Lani was glad.
"Ah!" Tai had fallen into the small lake near the waterfall.
Lani smirked, his robes always made him clumsy. She walked from behind the tree.
"Do you need some help?" She asked as she offered her hand.
Tai took it,"Thank you,Lani."
Lani's heart skipped a beat, she would have to do it now.
After Tai had gotten out of the small pool of water Lani tapped his shoulder,"U-um...Tai, can i tell you something?
Tai smiled in his kind way," Go ahead."
"Um, uh...I...you...um.."
"Oi! What're you guys doing here?" Naja jumped down from a tree and Shiga came out of the forest.
"I was training, and Lani came to bring me my lunch." Tai replied.
"Well, we came to tell you that Captain Dax came to visit us, but we were busy so we invited him to dinner. Hope that's okay with you." Shiga said
"It's fine." Lani replied
Shiga looked at her funny,"Y'know Lani, you don't look so good, are you okay?"
"I-it's just hot."
"It's a good thing I brought this." Tai filled an extra cup with water.
Naja panicked,"Uh...you know what guys, Lani's forehead is kinda hot, so I"ll go make her some tea."
Tai looked at Shiga. Shiga shrugged,he had no idea how Naja was gonna make tea, she couldn't even boil water.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
"So, did you tell him?" Asked Naja on the way back to the small camp.
"No, I didn't. You and Shiga broke in." Lani sighed
"Don't worry, I'm sure I can help you out by keeping Shiga away."
"You'd kill each other first."
Naja laughed,"Maybe."

Lani was behind the same tree again. She watched Tai meditate. She didn't stalk him, he just announced where he was going and what he was doing so if he needed back up, they knew where he was. She went over to him, carrying a small box
"Don't forget we have Captain Dax coming,Tai." Lani said.
"I know, he always comes somewhat late, so I wouldn't worry."
"Um, here." Lani gave the box to Tai
"What is it?" It was carefully packaged. He didn't want to break it.
"I-it's something I made. It's for your birthday,Tai. It's a good luck charm. I originally made it for your sword, but the leather loop could fit over your head."
"Thank you,Lani. You are a really good friend." He said as he studied the small wooden carving. It looked almost exactly like the dragon spirit the saw six months ago, when they fought Kang for the second time.
"And...um..I didn't finish what I was saying earlier..."
"Oh yes, go on."
"I.....I-i-i, you...I really...."
"C'mon you guys." Shiga came out from the trees. "Captain Dax's here."
As they were walking back, Tai asked,"So what were you saying?"
"Um...I-i--i....I'm really proud to be your friend." she said lamely.
"Me too," replied Tai.
Lani blushed.
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
As soon as Tai sat down something jumped from the bushes.
"TAI!"
Shiga unsheathed his sword but when he saw that it was only Mirah, he quickly sheathed it. When Mirah was crazy like this, it's no use to threaten her.
"Where were you the last few months? I was worried sick!" Mirah said, strangling Tai.
"Mirah...Please...let...go."
"And lose you again? Fat chance!"
"You're suffocating me."
Shiga and Naja facepalmed, but Lani's eyes filled with tears. There was a promise he made, when he finally outrun her.
"So, how does it feel to be stalked by an heiress?" Lani laughed. She had once again saved Tai from a crazy fangirl.
"It's really creepy." Tai panted.
"TAI?! Tai?! Where'd you go?" Mirah called out toward the land.
"What will you do if you see her again?" Lani said, looking at the serious expression on Mirah's face.
"I won't be so nice, I really don't want to get married at 18 years old. So I'll put my foot down. Of that you can be sure." Tai said
Lani's heart skipped a beat, she could have a chance with him.
"You're really hurting me." Tai wheezed.
"So, what about my offer?"
"I'm sorry...just please....." as soon as Tai said "I'm sorry" Mirah stopped and looked at him with big tears in her eyes,"Um.....just....not...so...soon."
"Yipee! I'll go prepare for the wedding, it should be in one week!" Mirah accidentally knocked down Tai and ran back toward the nearest town.
Lani had heard enough. The one she loved was getting married and she couldn't do anything. She ran into the thick bamboo forest and didn't look back.
"Lani!!" Tai called. It was too late. She was gone.

Ok, nothing much to say except, please R&R and correct me if I am wrong. If nobody comments,I'll go cry in my depression corner. If you guys wanna see a pic I made of Lani, go to my profile or look at my avatar.
