***********************************************************************
Disclaimer: I do not own the Ronin Warriors. If I did I'd be rich and
wouldn't bother writing this fic. So far, the characters Chaya, Mayuko,
and Kaede are mine because I thought them up first. If you want to use
them please ask first

SHORTLY AFTER TALPA'S DEFEAT

"You did it Ronins!" exclaimed Lady Kayura,"You saved the mortal world.
So you won't be needing us anymore. Goodbye. Now that the evil no longer
exists, we can return to the Nether Realm. Take care of this world and
farewell, Ronin Warriors."

With that, Lady Kayura and the ex-warlords flew of into the sky. As they
reached the portal to the Nether Realm, they did not notice mysterious,
limping figure watching them in the shadows.

"So, Lady Kayura," spoke the figure, gripping on to her wounds, her
words filled with coldness and hate, "you and the Ronin Warriors
defeated Talpa. Good, but hopefully you will be prepared the evil to
come in time." The figure grimaced in pain from the wounds that were so
numerous on her body. With the prediction spoken, the figure disappeared
into the shadows from which it came to seek healing of not just her
body, but hopefully her soul.

ONE YEAR LATER

"Hey Sage! Ya think ya can get rid of your lady friends so we can eat as
a group?" Rowen Hashiba shouted at his friend Sage Date, in yet another
attempt to gain Sage's attention.

After excusing himself from the mob of female "fans", Sage joined Rowen
and headed towards the table where they ate lunch with their group
friends, who were wonderful friends if not an unusual combination of
personalities. Their friends Ryo Sanada, Kento Rei Faun, and Cye Mouri
were already there eating their lunches

"Very funny, Rowen." said Sage in an annoyed tone,"As you can see, I'm
laughing my head off about being embarrassed in front of half of the
females in the senior class."

"You can thank me later."answered Rowan.

"Ah come on, Sage, don't blame him." said Kento. "You were taking
forever with your 'fan club', as usual. Can't you ever take a break?
Don't answer that. Anyway, guess what I heard? An new student is moving
here from the United States on Monday."

"I wonder if it's a girl?" wondered Sage.

"Well if it is, you better give us some time before you add another
member to the Sage Date Fan Club. I swear it's so large that it's an
official school club now."

"KENTO!"

"Hey guys! Can't you two ever stop fighting?" asked Kaede Son as she
joined the guys at their table and sat down next to Ryo.

"Kaede, you know that Sage and Kento only exist for the purpose of
fighting with each other." joked Mayuko Sakai. "What was it about this
time?" she asked as she sat down.

"The new girl starting on Monday."answered Kento.

"If the new student is a girl." responded Cye.

"Well in case you really want to know, the student is a girl." Mayuko
told them.

"Where did you hear that?"asked Sage

"How do you know if it's true?"asked Kento.

But before Mayuko could answer their questions, the bell rang signaling
that lunch was over and to get to class. As the group of friends
murmured their goodbyes and went their separate ways, Cye couldn't help
but wonder what would happen when this new girl arrived.
