Chapter 3: Ever Dream

Ever felt away with me

Just once that all I need

Entwined in finding you one day

Ever felt away without me

My love, it lies so deep

Ever dream of me
~~~
Once inside D'rhan's home,
Ro'nan immediately went into one of his father's guestrooms, placing Kira on
the bed.� Both he and Ice stood beside
her as several etas passed the door, glancing inside.�
Within several moments,
D'rhan strode inside the room, growling, "What the hell
happened?"�
Looking at the Elder, both
Ro'nan and Ice tapped their chests and bowed their heads before Ro'nan said,
"I'm not entirely sure, Elder...but I think Kira
saved my life."�
"Explain," Elder
D'rhan ordered, glaring at both of them.�
After a short explanation from Ice, Elder D'rhan looked back at Kira,
saying, "Well...it would seem you owe her your life, my son."�
"Yes...it would
seem," Ro'nan said quietly as he stared at the Water Guardian.� 'Why did she save me...if it would do this to her?'�
"And she was also able
to capture the one who attempted to kill Master Ro'nan, Elder D'rhan," Ice
stated.�
"Show me where he
is," D'rhan growled, and the young Drae-gun warrior left the room with the
Yautja Elder striding just behind.�
Sitting on the bed, Ro'nan
slowly reached out a hand and touched Kira's white hair.� It was soft beneath his fingers, and he
trilled quietly, wondering once more why she had saved him.� Something within his chest ached, but he
shook his head, thinking that all of the poison might not have been
purged.� Removing his hand from her,
Ro'nan heard Kira moan, and he rose from the bed, standing over her.�
When Kira opened her eyes,
the brightness made her close them and blink several times before her eyesight
adjusted.� Then, the figure next to where
she lay came into focus, and Kira's eyes widened as she said, "M-master
Ro'nan...you're all right."�
"Yes."� He tilted his head to the side. "Thank
you, Kira.� But what...what did you
do?"�
Inhaling, Kira sat up slowly
on the bed.� "First...please tell
me, where are we?"
"Inside my father's
home," he answered, kneeling next to the bed.�
"Where's the one I
froze?� The one who attacked you?"
she asked, looking around the room.�
"Elder D'rhan and Ice
are with him along with several other warriors."� Ro'nan growled softly in impatience.� "Now, Kira, tell me, what happened?� How did you...heal me?"�
Looking at him, Kira felt her
cheeks flush, and she swallowed before saying, "It is one of the...gifts
of the Water Guardian.� As it is a
healing element, water can be used to purge poisons from inside others, but
only with the proper energy behind its wielder."�
Blinking, Ro'nan almost
couldn't believe what she told him.�
"Why did you faint after...using this gift?"
Biting her lower lip, Kira
had prayed he wouldn't ask that question, but since he had, there was no way
around it.� "It takes...part of my
life energy for me to use it."
Ro'nan's eyes widened as he
thought Kira could have killed herself trying to save him. �Cursing to himself, he stood and turned his
back to her, not sure he could look at the Guardian at this moment.� He had known she would become the new Water
Guardian before, yet it always seemed to escape his mind when he saw her.� "Kira...I owe you my life," Ro'nan
stated, still not looking at her.�
"You owe me nothing,
Master Ro'nan," she told him, gazing at his back.� "I could not just let you
die."�
"Still," he said,
finally turning to face Kira again.�
"It could have killed you to save me.� I won't forget that, Kira."� Slowly, Ro'nan reached out a clawed hand,
gently touching her face.�
Kira felt her cheeks grow
very warm at his touch, and she hesitantly turned her face away from him.
Sighing, Ro'nan dropped his
hand at his side, stating, "I have to go deal with the one who attempted
two killings."�
Looking at him, Kira thought,
'He must mean me as well as him.'� As she watched the Yautja general walk
towards the door, Kira called, "Wait!"� Stopping, Ro'nan turned to face her
again.�
"Master Ro'nan...there
is something I must tell you," she declared, getting up from the bed.� "What happened today was a risky
event.� If I had not been with you...I
don't know what might have happened.�
What I am about to tell you must remain secret."�
Moving towards her, Ro'nan
stared at Kira as she gave him a very serious look.� "I give you my word, no one shall know
of what you tell me, Kira," he stated, tapping his chest three times.�
Nodding, Kira continued.� "As a Guardian, I must keep my true name
secret.� If anyone knew my name, they
could summon me to them by just uttering it.�
I trust you with my name...Anikira.�
If there is ever anything you might need me for and I am not by your
side, call my name and I will come to you."�
Inhaling, Kira closed her
eyes before opening them to look at Ro'nan as he stared at her.� His eyes held...an unknown emotion in them,
but Kira knew if she did care for him as she felt within, she would trust him
with her name.�
"Anikira," he
whispered.�
She nodded before holding up
a hand, saying, "But please continue to use my
half-name 'Kira'."�
"You have saved my
life...and now you trust me with your true name," Ro'nan said, shaking his
head.� "I do not understand why
you�ve done this, but I will not betray you, Kira." �
'I know,'
she whispered inside her mind.� 'I know, Master Ro'nan.'
~~~
After Kira removed the ice
from the prisoner, they knew it was a Yautja...one of Ro'nan's lieutenants to
be exact.� He apparently had a grudge
against him, claiming Ro'nan didn't earn his position as general; instead it
was given by his father.� This angered
most of those present, particularly D'rhan and Ice who knew that Ro'nan
practically had to fight his way to his current position.� Ro'nan only felt disappointment along with
anger that one he had trusted chose to betray him and would accuse him of
currying his way to his position as army general.�
After the incident, Ro'nan
gave Kira her own quarters inside his home near one of the lounges away from
where U'ra and It'rea's rooms were.� It
was considered a high honor to grant another residence inside your home, and
Kira, not wanting to dishonor him or appear ungrateful, moved most of her
belongings to her new home.� Although she
was hesitant to leave her brother, she knew Ice would eventually find a mate,
and they would need the extra space inside his dwelling.� Ice told Kira that she always had a home with
him, too, and she smiled at her brother, saying, "I might take you up on
that, depending on U'ra's moods."�
"Don't let her bother
you, Sis," Ice told her, shaking Kira's shoulder.� "U'ra is just...well, she's a
bitch."�
"Ice!� Don't use that
language," Kira scolded him, slapping his arm.�
"Hey, the truth
hurts!" he said, laughing.
"I hope you don't use
that sort of language around the other warriors," she told him.�
"Nah, that's when all of
us use the Yautja words."� Dodging her punch, Ice grinned at his
sister.� "I'm kidding!� I'm kidding...well, mostly kidding.� Anyway, if you do need any help, Sis, just
send word for me."�
"I will,
little brother."� Kira hugged and
watched him head back into the city.�
Sighing, she turned around and looked at her new home, hoping her
presence wouldn't cause too much trouble for Ro'nan.� Although her heart jumped at the chance of
living with him, Kira knew it was only an honor for saving his life.� She could not take it for more than
that...not without feeling her heart ache.
~~~
There was a heated argument
between U'ra and Ro'nan as she snarled angrily at him for bringing 'that bitch'
in their home.� He roared back that this
was his home, and if he wanted to
honor another with quarters, it was his decision, not hers.� It'rea was fairly quiet on the subject while
U'ra stormed outside of the lounge where Ro'nan had asked both his mates to
meet him to discuss the new arrangements.�
He stared at his second mate as It'rea rose and nodded to him before
leaving the lounge.� Sinking into the
lounging pillows, Ro'nan covered his eyes with a hand, growling about
irritating and annoying females.
It was difficult for Kira not
to overhear the argument even from her rooms on the other side of the complex,
and though she wanted to try and explain to U'ra and It'rea, she knew that
would most likely make matters worse.�
All she could do was try to make herself invisible
inside Ro'nan's home.�
Leaving her quarters, Kira
went inside the lounge nearest to her door and began perusing the various data
pads.� Apparently, this lounge also
served as a sort of library, and she looked through the pads, trying to find
one of interest.�
Once she chose a pad and
settled down in the pillows to read, the lounge door opened, and Kira looked up
to see Ro'nan, hissing and clenching his fists.�
Setting the pad down, Kira stood and bowed, saying, "Master
Ro'nan."�
"Oh, Kira...I didn't
know you were in here," he said, trying to relief his tension by clicking
his mandibles.� "You can sit
down."�
Nodding, Kira sat on the
pillows again, but she didn't pick up the data pad.� "Master Ro'nan, if I'm causing so much
trouble...perhaps I should leave," Kira said as she looked down at the
floor.�
"No.� No, Kira, it isn't just about you being
here," Ro'nan said, leaning against the wall.� "U'ra is rather...angry that she has not
had a child yet."�
"Ah...I see."� She reached for the data pad but didn't turn
it on, instead opting to just have something to hold.�
"Sometimes...I don't
even understand why..." he stopped and blinked, looking down at Kira as
she fingered the pad in her hands.� "Never mind.� I'm
sorry for barging in like this," he said, heading for the door.�
"But...you're not
barging in...if it's your home," she told him as
he left the room.� Sighing, Kira stared
down at the data pad, suddenly not feeling like reading.�
