Five Warriors and a Baby

Author's Notes: Wow! Twentieth story I've thought up and I've only been a member of Fan-Fiction... what? Only a couple years or so?
Summary: Recently got a sudden craze over the Ronin Warriors. For whatever reason, still can't bring myself to watch the movie: Three Men and a Baby, yet still look for Fan-Fiction Stories about it from time to time. Finally, got inspired by the story: "Five Gundams and a Baby" by DA Sarit.
Acknowledgements:
To DA Sarit: Don't really know Gundam Wing myself, and not really a big fan like you, but I LOVE your story: "Five Gundams and a Baby" How on Earth did you come up with such a sweet little treasure?
KatBlue: LOVE your "Sailor Moon Style" story: "Three Dads and a Little Rini". Still waiting for the conclusion of that one. Might I politely ask: What, is, the Hold Up?
Disclaimer: Ronin Warriors, or the Three Men an a Baby movie? NOT mine!
So we all know the strong, determined sides of the boys; the sides that they fight for Love, Glory, Honor, and Wisdom, right? But as anyone must know, beneath that rough exterior we call "The Armor", there is a soft, warm, gentle heart that even the smallest things can cause to cry, smile, laugh, or be moved in some other emotional manner. What will happen when the boys get a little "Package" on their doorstep?
Here's hoping I can throw a few chapters in with just one of each of the boys taking care of the little one, as well as a number of chapters where all five of them try their hand.
Episode 1: The Message and the Package
Ryo stood in the breeze, the wind gently whipping his long hair behind him.
He couldn't believe that it had been twelve years since the defeat of Talpa and the Dynasty. Could it really have been so long since the days that he was able, and many times forced, to acquire the Legendary Armor of Wildfire?
While he tended to train with cardio exercises; Running, jumping jacks, etc. he still felt the weight on his limbs. The times that he had to will himself not to scream in pain as he tried to stretch himself, the times he had to wipe the sweat from his face, so often he felt that his hand never left his eyes...
Sekhmet.
Each time he worked out, he would sweat. And each time he sweat, and it rolled into his eyes, he was reminded of when the Demon's Venom blinded him. Of course he could, and often did, honestly say that: "Sure it stings, but it certainly doesn't hurt as bad as Sekhmet getting his venom in my face."
Not that it helped when he raced either...
Yes, Ryo had become a Formula One Racer. "Scorcher Sanada" he was reffer to on the track.
Sage had taken college classes to become a doctor. He was close to finishing his final online module.
Kento? Kento of "Hardrock", had become... You guessed it; A Rock Star. Hard Rock to be exact.
It still sort of annoyed Ryo that he chose this career. Not because he spent long periods away from home with the guys, or that he loved Rock 'n' Roll. Ryo was perhaps the happiest of the group that Kento made his choice. No. It was the Pun; Kento of Hard Rock.
Rowen and Sai had become teachers of sorts;
Cye had become a Swimming Instructor and lifeguard. The children called him Mister Mouri.
Rowen had become an Archery teacher. The students; children, teens, and young adults alike, call him Master Hashiba.
Yes, the financial side of life was covered mainly by Ryo and Kento, but all in all the boys had come to live a rather relaxing and financially stable life.
"Ryo! I think the Sports Channel is showing a replay of your last event!" Sage called, snapping Ryo from his reverie about the demon who stole his eyesight. He entered the house and sat on the sofa beside his friend.
"And our Top Story is with Ryo Sanada and his marvelous win at the track just a few days ago," the Announcer said over the TV. "The Scorcher had dropped back to at least seventh place after a spin out at over a hundred seventy one miles per hour. How he got back in and beat the competition with only two laps to go, who really can tell..."
Ryo ignored the rest of the broadcast and checked his messages. (Who here can guess what they wear on their wrists to keep in touch with each other?)
He saw one from Kento asking to turn the channel to VH1 and check out the concert he'd just done. Ryo skips it. He read one from the priest that spoke during Anubis' funeral. He dried the tears he felt swelling in his eyes before deleting it. The next two were from Rowen and Cye saying they might be late for dinner, as they had to teach kids Private Lessons after hours. He smiled but didn't delete them.
The last one was from a number he didn't recognize.
Forgive the suddenness of this inquiry, but there is a package on its way to your house. Please take good care of it when you get it.
"Package?" Sage asked after reading the message over Ryo's shoulder. Ryo didn't answer, but kept looking at the number. He felt so sure he recognized that number from somewhere. But whenever he could remember where, he almost broke down in tears.
Mia...
"I gotta go for a drive and clear my head. You want I should grab some takeout?" Ryo stood up slowly from the sofa and walked to the door.
"I feel in the mood for enchiladas tonight," Sage replied, stretching his arms.
"No prob." Ryo took his keys and walked out the door.

The drive to the restaurant was easy enough as it only took about fifteen minutes. The line in front of him wasn't too long either, only about four vehicles ahead of his car. But as he waited to pull to the window and pay for his order, he thought of Mia again. His heart ached whenever he thought of the girl he used to protect from Dynasty soldiers so many times, so long ago...
He finally pulled up to the window, paid for his order, and got the boxes of enchiladas for himself and his four best friends. He carefully started for home, careful to watch traffic as his mind was still on both Mia, and the message he'd received earlier.
There's a package on its way to your house. Please take good care of it when you get it...

"Sage looked up as he heard the door open behind him.
"Hello? We're home!" called Cye.
"Where's Ryo?" Rowen asked.
"Getting takeout enchiladas for dinner," Sage said.
"Oh good. I'm starving," said a third voice.
"Kento?" Sage asked. "I thought you were still gone."
"Wasn't that far away. Besides, the crowd was a little dull anyhow.' Cye shrugged.
From outside there was a soft thump sound. The boys turned and looked at the door.
"Nevermind," said Rowen. "Probably just a stray cat or something." Then Cye went to the shower and Kento went to get changed into his pajamas.

Ryo got out of the car and walked up to the door. He stopped when he saw a basket on the step.
"What in the world?" he asked. Then he rang the doorbell with his freee hand. The door opened to reveal Sage and Rowen. They saw Ryo looking downward before following his gaze.
"Kento!" the three boys called out.
End Notes: Whoa! Can't believe I had so many fun ideas in mind. Then I had to go to Karate tonight, and now I can barely remember what I had. Hopefully I can remember them and write them down so I can write them and post them on the website later.
As Always, the three R's: Read, Rate, Review.
Cheers!
