Part 18


<< Kagato, I need to talk to you. >>

<< Yes, Washu? >>

<< Do you remember anything about your wife's space flight capabilities? >>

<< She had her family's private ship at her command, of fourth generation Jurian. No sign of her, then. >>

<< Please, tell me her name. I can't do anything if I can't find her. >>

<< Can't figure out who she is? >>

<< You hide your secrets better than most ... and you know me too well, Kagato of Ich' Nerits. >>

<< ... >>

<< I need her name. >>

<< Leynulia, Leynulia Amazis, of the third royal house of Jurai. This was .... four thousand years ago. >>

<< Thank you. >>


"Amazis bloodline, eh? You really picked a good one, didn't you, Kagato." Washu sighed, leaning back against Rezo's hands, which were massaging her shoulders.

"Is there something special about the Amazis bloodline?"

Washu gave Rezo a pained smile. "The Amazis bloodline ceased to exist two thousand years ago. Their last known member died in the defeat of first class criminal Kain .... less than twenty-four hours before my imprisonment at Kagato's hands."


Zel wrapped his arms tighter around Lina's waist, dragging her closer within his embrace, as she laid her head upon his shoulder. << Lina? >>

<< Yes? >> Lina gave a soft, happy purr as Zel kissed her neck lightly.

<< Does this .... tie, to me, well ... >> The grip of his arms loosened slightly, his hands resting quietly on her stomach.

<< Does it bother me? No. I'd been waiting a long time for you. >> Lina turned her head enough so that she could kiss his cheek, nibbling her way along his jawline to his ear.

<< ?! >> She could feel his confusion resonating along the link ... along with a vague sort of flattered.

<< When I was a young girl, a local prophet had a vision for me. It showed a man whose face I never saw clearly, but I could see his blue eyes, as he fought first against, then by me against something dark and evil. The second part of the vision, I was with him, holding two small children with his eyes ... and the love I could feel from him and for him had been nothing like any love I had ever felt. I was at first afraid it was Gourry! >> She nipped his ear, making him jump. << But it's you .... I love you ... >>

<< I love you too, Lina Inverse. >>

Ryoko's head popped in through the door. << Hey you two, meeting on the roof of the masses. >>
