Ronin Goddesses
Chapter 1
"Ok, we need that and that and definitely those," an off the shoulder shirt was tossed into an over flowing duffle bag followed by an ankle length jean skirt and a pair of 2-inch flat heeled boots. The tosser of said clothes walked out of their closet and stared at the overloaded duffle bag. This girl had on khaki capris and a brown V-neck shirt, her soft blonde-brown hair up in an unbrushed pony-tail. She bit the inside of her lip and fiddled with her sea-shell strung necklace, debating with herself whether or not she should fold her clothes.
"Nah!" she decided to just stuff her clothes into the already stretched to it's limits duffle bag. She struggled to zip the thing up and got it closed after two minutes of wrestling with it. She lifted the heavy bag and ran down the stairs past her grandmother grabbing her lunch from her mother.
"Bye mom!"
"Have fun sweetheart! AND DON'T OVER EXERT YOURSELF!" Her mother called from the door as the girl ran down the street. The girl laughed as she turned the corner. She smiled at her four other friends waiting at their usual bus stop. She stopped in front of her friends and collapsed on the bench nearby. She laughed with her friends who each also had over stuffed bags. None of the girls were the folding type.
Girls POV.
Hi, I'm Sarune, weird name I know believe me I'd change it if it wasn't so cool. I guess I should introduce my friends that I'm with, well let's get this over with, hope you can keep up. My friend with the yellow-blonde hair, styled in what many anime fans would call the Deidara style, is Druid. As you probably guessed she's an anime fanatic, she's still cool, she knows when to hang out with friends at least. Her outfits are expensive though, at the current moment she's wearing off the shoulder fishnet with a normal black T-shirt over it and a black skirt covered in every chain imaginable. Did I forget to mention she likes chains? I did? Well now you know. Her parents are hippies hence the name Druid, but she swears her family on her fathers side has at least some samurai blood in it. She did a timeline of her family for a History project once to prove it so we have no choice but to believe her.
Ok on to second friend, this oh so wonderful friend of mine isn't really my friend, Rowina (A/N: pronouced Row-eena two syllables, don't tell me it's too close to Rowens name I know that already it's bad enough that I've paired her with him). Ok she is but she isn't, it's hard to explain. She's technically my cousin from my father's side, ya see I'm part English and part Japanese and she's Japanese. She and her mom aren't getting along so well so she high tailed it over here to America and is currently staying with my dad. Parents are divorced by the way. Anyways, she just started hanging out with us one day, but she likes to pick on me alot since she's older. She's like a big sister you can't help but love, but you wish so badly you didn't. Rowina's outfits are kind of 'out there' in my opinion. Her hairs never the same color, at the current moment it's a dark blue. Her clothes are always bordering on slut. Rowina's wearing tight leather pants with a black tube top with Daft Punk bitch written acrossed it in white with the Daft Punk robots behind the lettering, obviously custom made. She's wearing a normal Daft Punk zip-up hoody zipped up half way so she could get away with her damn shirt at school.
Speaking of Daft Punk, that brings me to my more level headed hang out buddy. She's been labeled as our leader by everyone but the five members of our group, me included. She's responsible for getting my cousin into the Daft Punk scene. Her names Rina, waist length midnight black hair - How she keeps it healthy and shiny is beyond me - , regular red t-shirt and normal jean pants, and a definite Latina. She's a fashion reject on purpose. You're probably saying 'HUH!?' What I mean is every time someone tries to give her fashion advice the more out of fashion her outfit is the next day. Guess yesterday she wasn't bothered about her fashion sense. Anyways Rina is pretty much the voice of reason out of us all. She's pretty quiet most of the time, but, if you push just the right buttons she snaps. Her temper is something to be feared, course me and my buddy Ketria make a pretty close second with her.
Ah last but not least, the true blue American girl. The one who defies all the labels that we modern day teenagers have on us from other countries and yet proves them at the same time, Ketria. She's part Indian part African-American but still her ancestors on her mothers side were here long before any settlers so yeah my comment still stands. Ketria's name came from her father, don't really remember what it means but her Indian name is cool. Earth Fighter, it's supposed to mean that she fights any obstacle mother earth throws in her way, and boy does she fight. Ketria's on the wrestling team, she's the only girl too, many of her teammates' girlfriends don't much like her. Can't understand why, she's just doing what she loves and not getting arrested for it. It's possible it could be that those blonde idiot cheerleaders don't realize Ketria's gay. Yup I said it, Ketria is into girls, it's no big deal she'll flirt with guys but that's about it. Now that I look at her outfit, it looks like she's going indian today. She's wearing a traditional indian head band and her indian bracelets she got from her grandmother are around her wrists. Her shirt is just a normal white shirt with a Cherokee horse grazing on the front of it. Normal white washed jeans and every day sneakers. Not complete Indian but still she's definitely flaunting her heritage. Probably to tell the teachers she knows what she's doing on our trip.
I never did explain our bags did I? Well we're going on an end of school senior camping trip for 2 weeks hence only one bag for each of us. Druid's bag is green with little Zeldas and Links and Triangle thingies all over it. I think she called them Triforces. She's a video game fanatic too. Weird for a quiet girl neh? Anyways Rowina's bag is a solid navy blue, I think it's one of mine. Oh well, Rina's has a smoky gray back ground with orange red flames drawn all over it. Rina's responsible for the flames, did I mention she's a pyro? Ketria's is just a simple orange brown, with indian designs on it, very earthy. Great she also has her guitar case with her. My bag is clear with sea creatures scattered all over it, the seams are a calm sea blue. Yeah, I'm obsessed with water, I plan on studying Marine Biology when I leave our high school, can't swim very well though, that's what I plan on working on while we're out there. My bag is the only one that's obvious that I just stuffed it and didn't bother to fold my clothes. Hey, wrinkles are in anyways, in your clothes at least. Well, here's our bus, and before I reveal something I really shouldn't I bid you adieu.
Normal POV.
The five friends climbed onto the bus laughing and joking taking their seats in the back of the currently empty bus. Ketria grinned pulling out her acoustic guitar from it's casing and started tuning it. The other four groaned rolling their eyes pulling out their own entertainment. Druid pulled out a taped book and a casset player putting in the tape she left off on into the player and started to listen to it instead of Ketria. Rowina and Rina shared an Ipod with Daft Punk songs recorded on it. Sarune simply put in her songs of the sea CD into her CD player and listened to that while she took a nap. The girls didn't notice as their classmates loaded onto the bus group by group. They didn't notice much really until they hit the campsite. Once the bus stopped the girls looked up and Ketria shook Sarune awake. They filed out and stood infront of the teachers that were in charge of the trip.
"All right class, you each were put into groups of four and five yesterday during school so you should know who your spending this entire camping trip with," there were a collection of moans and groans. Shouts of 'Do we have to spend the entire trip with them?' or 'Can we switch groups?' were heard all over. The only ones who weren't complaining were the five girls in the back. They were grinning like maniacs since they were paired together.
"Yes you have to spend the entire trip with your group and NO! You can't switch groups, that'd cause more mayhem than I want to handle," the teacher sighed then mumbled to herself, "Especially with the Aurora High Pranksters."(1)
A second teacher stepped forward with a clipboard held out infront of him. "Alright you lazy morons pipe down!"
"That's a way to get us to shut up," Ketria whispered out of the corner of her mouth to Sarune. Sarune snickered with a nod before Druid and Rina shushed them. "I'm going to call off your group name that you so cleverly came up with when you were put in your groups. I'll also assign you a cabin and you have to hike to it there is a guide that will meet with you once you're assigned your cabin." The teacher pointed to the group of guides behind him. "Alright first up," he groaned as he looked at his clipboard. "As always the Aurora High Pranksters, do you Ladies enjoy being called that?" He had to ask as they walked up to him. They grinned and with a group "YES!" followed by giggles, they headed to where he pointed meeting their guide to take them to Cabin one.
The guide smiled kindly at them, "You girls have an interesting group name, do you mind if I ask why you go by that?"
"Nope not at all, people started calling us that at school and around town because we're always playin pranks on this Prep school called Aurora High," Rowina explained as they hiked.
"Yeah we don't much like that school 'cause stuck ups swarm the place, Ancient High is much better," Rina said putting away her Ipod.
The guide smiled, "I see, well here we are." She said as they came to the end of their hike, "Cabin one is the best of them all you girls got lucky, it has everything you need either in it or walking distance from it." The girls grinned at that and charged into the cabin to claim their rooms. The guide smiled a secret smile and walked down the path her clothes changing to a priestess' attire of old times before fading into the shadows. "Fate's wheels have started to turn, don't defy it, or you will be lost within your own self." Was the message whispered on the wind before the woman disappeared all together.
INSIDE
"HEY I CALL DIBS ON THE ROOM UPSTAIRS!!" Sarune called from the upstairs hallway that seemed to double as a balcony.
"WE GOT THIS ONE!" Rowina and Rina called charging into the room just below Sarune. Druid and Ketria looked at eachother and shrugged heading into the last bedroom and setting their bags on their respective beds.
"We're always the last ones to pick aren't we Ketria," Druid joked pulling out her stuffed wolf and putting it by her pillow. Ketria laughed with a nod, "Yeah, I just hope we all can get along without most of our electronics." Ketria poked Druid, "Specially you. You and your video games." Druid rolled her eyes and mock pushed Ketria with a smirk.
"I'm not addicted to them, they're just a way to keep me occupied when I can't meditate and need to get away from Marian and Arnold," Druid reasoned, folding and placing her stuff in her half of the dresser. Ketria following her example.
"Hey Druid," "Hm?" "I've always been curious, why do you call your parents by their names? Why not, my parents or Mom and Dad?"
"Because I grew up with them always tellin me that since they can call me by my first name that I could too," Druid shrugged taking out her recorded books and setting them up neatly on the dresser. Ketria put her Guitar in their closet before hanging up her five sun dresses and offering to hang up Druid's long skirts.
"Guess you didn't pack any dresses as usual." "Nope." "Why do you hate dresses so much?" "Why do you dress like a borderline tramp?" "Ouch, ok I get it." Rina rolled her eyes as Rowina went back to unpacking. Rina headed to the door, "I'm gonna go check on Sarune, cya." "Bye."
Rina peaked into Sarune's room to see her napping again, she smirked and pulled the covers over Sarune. Sarune was the youngest of the five of them but the most mature. Even more mature than Rina was willing to admit at times. Rina smiled looking around the room. Sarune was definitely a water sprite, she had pictures of the ocean at different times of the year, all at sunset, covering the walls. There were also pictures Sarune had taken of them when they were at the beaches in japan. Rina blinked seeing the only framed picture Sarune had in the room she picked it up and looked closely at it. It was a picture of a boy and Sarune, they were embracing and smiling longingly at eachother the boy had his arms resting on Sarune's shoulders and Sarune's were around his waist. Rina narrowed her eyes in curiousity, the boy looked oddly familiar but she couldn't match his face with a name. Rina sighed putting the picture back where it was, smoothed out Sarune's hair and walked out. Rina was thinking so deeply as she left Sarune's room that she didn't see Druid and ran into her.
"Ouch, that's one way to get a broken nose, Rina," Druid said getting up off the floor rubbing her butt as Rina apologized. "Hey Rina what's up? You're not normally out of it, that's usually me."
Rina shook her head, "Sorry Druid, I just saw a picture of Sarune and a boy that looked familiar but I can't place his name."
"Ummm, was it in Sepia? And looked like it was restored a little?" "Yeah why?"
"That's not Sarune, that's Sarune's great-great grandmother and great-great grandfather. She got the pic restored in sepia style a month ago." Druid clarified for Rina.
"How do you know?" "I asked her once, that was her answer." "Oh."
"Anyways, do you want to go out on a nature hike with me? I want to go check out the area but I don't want to go alone." Druid begged with her hands folded infront of Rina. Rina sighed with a shrug, "Sure why not?" "Oh thank you thank you thank you, I owe you one Rina." "Yeah you do, let's go." The two girls walked outside and into the forest. They followed the small path looking at different plants and matching a bird with it's song. Druid froze as a grey wolf walked in their path, stopped and stared at them. Rina stopped mid step seeing the wolf and looked at Druid unsure in what to do.
Druid stepped forward completely unaware of her surroundings except for the wolf in front of her. Out of nowhere a white tiger jumped out growling hostilely towards the wolf. Druid snapped out of her trance and stared confused at the tiger. "Ok I know white tigers are not native to this area," she heard Rina say, Rina coming out of her own stupor.
"White Blaze you dumb tiger what the hell--" a boy with black hair ending at the shoulder blades and in a red full body armor walked out from the general area the tiger, known as white blaze, jumped out from. The boy stopped seeing the two girls and groaned out a 'great.' Rina started to bristle when another boy walked out this one with blonde hair some of it sweeping over his right eye. This boy also had on full body armor but his was green. (A/N: It's his right eye, I'm a ronin buff I should know, so don't go sayin IT'S HIS LEFT EYE!!! blah blah blah... . don't tick me off with that junk)
"Ryo, you don't have a good sense... of... direction..." The blonde trailed off seeing the girls he sighed saying 'wonderful,' making Rina bristle even more. Druid raised an eyebrow at the boys then looked back at the wolf and decided to really look at it this time. The wolf was a normal grey wolf nothing special about it's appearance except it had a collar on it with five different color stones. Each of the stones had a kanji in it, Druid made a note to have Sarune or Rowina translate them.
"HEY! DRUID WAKE UP!" Rina's shout made Druid jump and glance over at her as if asking 'What?'.
"DON'T GIVE ME THAT LOOK DID YOU HEAR THOSE TWO!?" Druid could tell Rina was mad by their whispered words and the two boys flinched at Rina's temper, Druid sighed, where's Sarune when you needed her.
"Yes, I heard them, and there's probably a good reason as to why they said what they said," she looked at the two boys calmly, "Right?" The boys nodded quickly. "Explain, but before you do, kindly call your tiger away from my wolf." At Ryo's whistle White Blaze reluctantly moved away from the wolf and to Ryo's side. "Thank you," Druid squatted down and held out her hand, "Here Huntress." At her gentle call the wolf got the idea and moved towards Druid as if she was familiar with Druid. Druid stood up as the wolf sat at her side. "Now explain those sighed words..."
Ryo laughed nervously, "What words?" Druid's eyes narrowed as Rina started to bristle again. The two boys flinched again, the blonde then stepped forward.
"First off, my name is Sage," he pointed to himself then pointed to his friend, "and this is Ryo--"
"That's all good and all, but we just want to know why you said, great and wonderful as if it was a bad thing," Druid said starting to get impatient herself, she may have more patience than the average person but that didn't mean it was endless.
Sage blinked and straightened up, "Right umm... Ryo?" he looked over to his red clad friend. Ryo sighed, "To put it bluntly, since you've already seen us in our pre-armor, we're Ronin Warriors." Druid and Rina both blinked, then blinked again and again. Druid's mouth started twitching up ward and Rina started snickering before they both collapsed into laughter.
"That's rich!" Rina busted out followed by a wave of giggles coming from the two girls. "They're just a legend," Druid put in calming down, when she noticed the serious looks from the boys she calmed completely and stood up straight her laughter suddenly gone. "You mean to tell us they're real?" Rina stopped blinking staring at the boys.
"You're not serious?" Rina said shocked then looked at Druid, "I thought you said that was some crazy story your dad created to get us to go to sleep."
"I thought so too," Druid looked at the boys, "So you're telling me it's true?" Ryo and Sage nodded, Rina blinked and Druid just flat out fainted. Huntress jumped up and started checking to see if she was all right, Rina dropped to her side and called out her name to try and wake her up.
AND I'M DONE... OMG!!! I THINK I WROTE ANOTHER MARY-SUE!!! cries PLEASE TELL ME I DIDN'T!!! I HOPE I DIDN'T!!! Ok yeah over reaction just a tad but anyways i'm suffering from insomnia and I just had an itch to write a Ronin Warriors fanfic... how'd I do?... And that pic is actually of Sarune and Cye in a past life. Sarune remembers it and sort of made the pic out of sand and junk and that's why it looks like a sepia style and she fakes it being her great-great grandparents... it'll be explained eventually... the divorced thing is just something I put in so Rowina could have a place to stay and not live in the same house as Sarune. It's not gonna make her depressed or anything, she doesn't much like her dad though.
1) OK I decided to put this in here because I live in a small town and there's a prep school just a few blocks from my place and there's alot of students to that school living around me and they're complete snobs, they always look down on people who can't get things because they don't have the money... pretty much you're poor if you don't have the money to get the newest of gadgets and they don't like you because of that... and well once a month a group of my friends and I play pranks on these kids and on the school itself... It borders on vandalism but it's not quite grins it pays to have a police officer as a brother in law. Anyways we sort of became the (insert snob school's name here) high pranksters... considering they think it's kids from inside the prep school... but it's only one lol my best friend goes to the school and always helps us out when we decide to pull our prank it's so much fun to screw with them.
I'm evil and take pride in it so bugger off.
