He's seemed distracted lately and out of it...I worry about him.
Xu has been getting really big and is pretty much a full grown fox now. He's a good one really...but lately he....

..................Ah! Oh no! NOT AGAIN!

Xu Lin has run off AGAIN!!!

OKay, so it seems I missed some interesting things upon returning Sunday...Hmmmm, but now everything seems to finally be settling back down. Roushi is after all back to how he was...;;;

On the note of my trip...
Xing seems to somehow have pulled out of its struggling state. My father is curiously slipping in and out of his sickness. Reporting to him I found no solace by this fact. I doubt he even knows who I am anyway...haaa...well anyway... The economy seems well enough right now and war has been shunned away completely. Ametris is even in a pretty good condition. It makes me wonder. Do I really need to track down this secret any longer? While I want to still secure the position of my clan I really feel that doing so might be unnessecary. I dunno what to do anymore. Maybe I should just use this time to relax and cool my head. Roushi needs me just as much as my people. I'd never leave him behind. Finding love makes you think differently about so many things. Have I become just a slacker? Is Roushi-rou rubbing off on me~?
Haha, I guess I've always been one to slack. Ranfan and Fu have had a lot to deal with hahahahaha~

R-R-Roushi? What did I come home to? O________________________________________O;;

((aaaaaaand finally ling is back! Sorry it took so long, internet last night was shit....))

Okay, and so I have decided.
I'm going to take a trip and go back to Xing for a short time.
I worry about what goes on there every now and then and don't think my mind will be at ease until I check on my clan myself.
I wonder what Fuu and Ranfan are up to...they went missing when I came here...or rather, they failed to find me this time I got lost. It will make me feel better to know that they too got home safely.
Roushi I hope you keep out of trouble love and don't worry.

I should be back in a week and half or maybe two.

Yesterday was your birthday Fullmetal?
Who would have guessed! I didn't know...ah but...aren't you like supposed to get taller when you get older? Isn't that the point of getting older? Growing up~? Heehee!
You're still a runt, hahahahahaha, but that's okay, I guess we shouldn't expect too much from you in that department~ *GRIIIIIIIIIN*
Anyway Happy Late Birthday Fullmetal Shrimp ^__________^ I hope it was a good one~

Hey it's me, Ling Yao! I haven't updated in a the longest time, but as you all can imagine I've been busy~
Me and Airen have been doing great and all and Xu is growing up quick <3 That little ca--fox is getting big so fast!
Anyway, I got lost going to my fifth period today by accident and found myself in some kind of record room. Crazy, right? I didn't think this school even had a record room... O_o
First I'm hearing of it, hahaha.
It's amazing to think there's organization here somewhere! ANYWAY! I was in this school record room thing, and it had like TONS of file cabinets and stuff like that.
Well I found this one file that read "Top Secrit" which I think might just be a fancy word for 'secret' but anywho, I took a look. I mean I AM still on the prowl for the secret to immortality and anything that might say "Top Secrit" or "Confindenshall" could be really good leads after all.
Well anyway I found files and files of data on random things about the school. Like did you know there was an underground basement that led to a secret elevator that brought you to some kind of secret room? O_o I'm not sure I bought that whole 'Marauder's Map' deal. Anyway......I found some other interesting things in the 'Secrit' files too, some REALLY INTERESTING THINGS!
( What follows is filtered to everyone but Roushi )

I DID IT I DID IT I DID IT I DID IT!!!!

I finally did it and OMG HE SAID YES!!!!!!

I'm so happy! Nothing can bring me down right now!

I'm so glad that Xu Lin is back to us. Thank you everyone who helped us look even if it was just a little. We found the little devil in the library~ Who would have thought, right? ^o^;;

ANYWAY~ Things have been pretty smooth lately and everythings been pretty good around school it seems, (Well as good as it's going to get I suppose~) Now I can go back to what I was worrying about before. Although it's really nothing to 'worry' about really now~~~
I guess I'm a little anxious. -^____________^-

Waaaa! You won't believe it! I opened my book bag to take out my notebook for first period today and I found a stow away! XD Xu Lin slipped into my bag somehow and came to school with me~ Heehee! X3 I was so surprised. I guess the little guy just didn't want to get left behind~ Haha.
So now I've been taking him everywhere, I took him to my classes and brought him to lunch and he seems to be having fun so far ^________^ I hope he doesn't get bored while I take my test in my next class though~ I guess there really isn't much to do stuck in a school bag all day, hmmm, maybe I should stop on the way home today and buy him a sqeaky toy or a------huh?!? Where'd he GO!?!?!?!?! O__________O

ACK!!! XU LIN!!!!!!!???????!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!??!


((There's a loose pet fox kit running around campus, go ahead and mention him or spot him, you won't be able to catch him though but feel free to comment about little Xu (=3=))

Okay so I was walking around the school trying to get around...I thought it might be a good idea to poke my head in in the science class, see what was going on there since most everything is just really weird lately. But when I tried goign through the window it was the wrong one...it kind of like ...moved... O___o

Well if that wasn't weird enough. I left that room to try the one next to it using the door...but I couldn't!
Somehow I got caught up in all these maze-like paths and hallways that were NOT there before...and it was confusing! I was stuck in the middle of it for HOURS!!! I was TOTALLY LOST!
In the name of Xing I can't navigate this place anymore! After I got to the end of the maze finally there was a switch...I had to flip the switch and a door opened somewhere I think...I heard some weird musical sound thing like a flute or something... and then I had to go allllllll the way back! T________________T

I don't think I want to go to science class anymore, it isn't worth it....

But now...
Now everyone is getting ready to fight. The school is in total chaos. THe school has it's own chi it seems. Almost as if everything has it's own flow of life...or maybe I just can't differenciate these things anymore. Confused is putting it mildly. I'm rightly going insane!
I know I can't just sit here however. Everyone is picking up arms and planning to fight. I will not sit by idly and watch this time, which might just seem uncharacterisic of me. For there are people I want to protect.

I feel like I'm back at home and taking my old mission alongside Fullmetal. We had lots of good times fighting side by side didn't we, shortie?

But anyway...
------OH!
Ms. Forchensicks Teacher Foxxy Lady!
You seem like a very smart person so I wanted to ask you a question if you wouldn't mind~!

Roooooushi~~~~!
Look Look!!

I found him outside on my way to my science class~~ Isn't he CUUUUTE~~~~~~

Women in this country are so scary....

To anyone who knows...

Does anyone know what is going on in Xing right now? I thought you might know Yuuko-san...I'm a bit worried. I have to get home before the old man dies.

Soooo I got a new apartment now and Roushi is living there with me. This a lot of you already know.

But I didn't tell you that I got a new cat! XD

His name is Xu Lin~

I'm so busy lately working hard to achieve a little something.
It's top secret and I'm not telling at the moment but it sure has kept me on my toes...
I've got tons of part time jobs, and I've been doing odd jobs around town. I need to get some extra cash in my pocket~

Heh, sorry Roushi and sorry everyone else I'm so busy...I just don't have any free time.
I won't be around for a little bit~~ Don't worry tho nothing's wrong...

We had one of the best dates~ I loved it so much!!
I think ROushi loved it too...no I'm quite sure he loved it ^_____^ Just knowing that makes me happy.

Things are going so great I feel like...oh I dunno...nothing can go wrong!

I still haven't found the secret to immortality, it's true. And I have been slacking I admit. But to be honest as much as I want happiness for my clan. Acceptance and the respect the Yao clan deserves....I have in the process found happiness for myself. I feel fulfilled, in spirit. It makes me feel guilty because I still hope to keep my promise.

I WILL take the throne, and I will bring the respect to my clan that it deserves. I will find the secret to immortality and make my father step down or rather, allow the sickness to complete its course. I will gain his favor. I will be next in line. 12th Prince. I have a good standing a good chance.
Those are my goals.
And in the end...when it's all done with...

I will marry Roushi and bring him to my palace and make sure he is treated like royalty. He will be royalty...he will be mine~

I can't drink...not really. It all tastes bad, even water.

Not only that but.....I...I can't pick up on or locate even my own ki. I feel so lost.
I woke up this morning and wound up running in to the door becuase I didn't realize it was there....;;;;

This isn't good...
it's not good at all...

Is this...is this Yuuko-san's doing?

I've been slacking.

I will complete my quest.
I WILL find the secret to immortality!
And I will keep Roushi in the process.
Nothing can stop me!
I'll have it all if I have t fight for it!

This is for my best interest as well as my clan's. I won't abandon any of it!

I WILL succeed.
