The Rebel Faction

Raven laughed, shaking her head.

"My dear, I had every intention of returning. I just didn't specify when. I've been through so much emotional turmoil in the past month, that I needed a chance to relax and sort things out.

At the very beginning, when we first met, if you gave me such an opportunity to hit you, I would take it.

I'm sorry if I had worried you, I really am. To worry you was not my intention."

Raven then smiled, a hand reaching up to caress his cheek.

"I completely understand if you now hate me."

Raven nodded, watching as he started to walk away, slowly rising to her feet to follow.

Little Magaia, a little scared of the cold look in his eyes, had carefully climbed onto Raven's back, the girl's tail curling around Raven's waist.

"He's not too compfy in places like this." Raven mumured, hearing a puzzled meow in reply as Raven continued to walk, following the path her husband had taken.

Hopefully, his own ship was closeby, for Raven was already tired of not only this planet, but also wanted a chance to sit down again.

Another puzzled meow escaped the tiny feline's lips as she heard her husband tell her to hurry up, and to bring the girl with her.

"I don't know what got him to decide to invite you, but since he told us not to ask, the answer to that question will have to wait." Raven mumured, reaching behind her to scratch the girl upon her furry head.

"I'm scared." Magaia whispered, feeling the girl's furry head gently rub against her own.

"I know you are. But don't you worry, I'll watch over you like you're a member of my own family." Raven replied reasuringly.

"Family?" the feline instantly replied, making her chuckle.

Strolling up the boarding ramp, she couldn't help but smile as the girl seemed to be struck in awe, wanting to know what everything around her was, as Raven slowly made her way up to the cockpit and sat down next to her husband. The feline quickly moved to sit upon Raven's lap, her tail hovering over the switches and flashing lights in pure facination.

"One of these days, you'll know what those switches do, but for now, it might be best to not touch them. He's already in a cranky mood. Don't want to press your luck, now do you?"

Hearing Magaia giggle as she quickly retracted her tail, she gave a grin to her husband.

Hearing him murmur something about a headache, Raven's eyebrow rose instantly in puzzlement.

"I'm not one of those headaches, am I?" she asked, only to get a glare in reply.

Oooh, bad timming for a conversation. I've been away so long from you, that I have to review a lot of your habbits, both good and bad.

Finally hearing him mutter that he needed to kill someone when they got home, Magaia instantly howled in fear.

"Not you, sweetie. I'll kick his butt if he tries." Raven murmured, scratching Magaia's head as the feline cuddled in closer to her, Raven's eyes giving a familiar mischievous light as she smirked in her husband's general direction.

Seeing him sit back in his chair and look in her general direction, the mischievous grin quickly faded.

He seemed so tired when he told her that he wasn't feeling too well, making her tilt her head a bit in concern.

Magaia, realizing that something was wrong, had turned her gaze towards him as well, her ears perked in sudden attention. The feline, too, seemed to be showing signs of concern towards him.

Raven didn't understand why her husband had allowed the girl to travel with them. She so wanted to know the reasoning behind the decision, but now it was overridden by her own worry for the one she loved.

"Some how, I feel as though I'm a cause, and I wish I could remedy that."
