Chapter One: Lita's special present
It has been four years since Lita had left Sage and the others to return to her home in Tokyo. She had went back to school after a couple of days of grieving, she had cried none stop for about a day and a half. She wasn't the same person her friends and brother knew and love, she was quiet, calm and kept to herself. With the help of her friends she caught up in all her classes and she graduated High school. Entering College was easy for her but staying in school was the hard part when she got mysteriously ill for a month and a half; Ken and the others didn't know what it was or happened. She was force to drop out of college and give up her dreams when she found out she was pregnant. If she was with Sage she would had been happy, he would take care of her but he wasn't with her and she cried her heart out that night.
The others noticed the change in her moods and once Ken saw her having a hard time putting on her clothes. They also noticed the increase of the food she was eating. It took Lita a long period of time to gather enough courage to tell her friends, when she accomplished the task she received nothing but shock and silence from them especially Ken, thinking they were going to shun her from their group she ran back to her apartment she shared with her brother not wanting to hear how disappointed they were. She crashed on the couch and cried herself to sleep.
Lita had waked up with surprise when she had found herself in her bedroom in her bed covered to her neck. She had also found Mina and Ken by her side sleeping in each other's arms. Her friends were supportive and helped her during and after the pregnancy.
~`~`~`~`~
On December 5 Raye, Serena, Amy and Andrew called Pluto to meet them at the temple. Once everyone was there they discussed about Lita's present, but Trista didn't seem to found of it. The plan was to get Sage over here as a surprise gift but of course it would break some rules to do that and She wasn't in on it especially still being punished for what she had done four years ago.
"Serena I'm disappointed in you." She whispered as she looked at her princess. "You know about the rules, you all do."
"But Trista, you should see her when she's crying because she doesn't get to see him. She really miss him and I feel so bad that Milany wont get to see her father." Serena whispered as tear gathered in her eyes.
"Yea, I know for a fact to grow up without a father and it was the most difficult thing I had to go throw, but Milany has a chance." Raye said. "Please don't rob her from that."
Trista frowned at them "What makes you think I would do that? You have forgotten that I have a job to do, and I have a boss and rules to follow. If I had the power I would let Sage and Lita be together for eternity. I must leave now." Without a chance for the others to speak she vanished. The Senshi of time appeared in the mist of nowhere surrounded by fog. She Sighed. Sometimes she really hated being the guardian of time. She stood in her senshi fuku her time key was in her hand as she looked at her friends she had just left. They looked disappointed and hurt. She hated this, but she had no choice.
"Pluto is this really troubling you?" A voice asked.
"Yes, no…"She sighed. "Chronos, I know you asked me to do this but I feel it is wrong to keep soul mates away from each other. They are both suffering." She sighed once more.
"Perhaps you're right Pluto." The voice said after a long time. "Hurry and get him. I don't see why Jupiter has to be punished for your mistakes." The voice echoed before it stopped all together.
Pluto stood there surprised. She had served Chronos for a very long time and never did he go back on his punishments or words. She quickly snapped out of it and summoned one of her closest friend to help her get Sage. She was so excited.
~`~`~`~`~`~
Sage, Ryo, Mia and Rowen sat in front of the TV Watching a movie, but Sage's heart was not into it. His mind only thought and concentrated on Lita. He missed her so much, he thought he would actually die from the pain his heart radiated. His friends tried so much to cheer him up but nothing they did worked. All he wanted was Lita. He didn't even know if she was ok or if something happened to her. He hated fate. They always played something on him. His friends did warn him about this four years ago before he started dating Lita and he knew he should have listened but he couldn't help it. She was so beautiful, her emerald green eye started at him while her brown hair brushed his face. Her peach colored lips was actually inviting him to kiss her.
The last night they spent the night together was very special to him yet the memory was haunting him as well teasing. It played over in his mind repeatedly when he closed his eyes, every touch, hug, and kiss…suddenly, Kento's voice pulled him from his thoughts. He turned around to see Kento, Cye and Mira walk in the house with grocery shopping. Mira had been visiting a lot lately, ever since she and Cye were going out. He didn't mind her being here; in fact she was fun to be around with. Ryo and Mia were also going out.
"Hey guys!" Kento exclaimed.
"Shhh!!! Watching movie." Ryo said as if he was in a trance. Mia rolled her eyes and playfully hit him on his arm. "Ryo."
"It's okay Mia, let him be that way." Kento said pretending to be hurt while he, Mira and Cye sat down on the couches.
Suddenly a ghostly appearance of a man appeared wearing ancient clothing in front of them. All of them gasped when they remembered him. "Anubis!" Ryo yelled.
"Hello Ronins, Mia and Mira. It is nice to see you again." Anubis spoke. "I have come because a friend told me too. I'll show you something." He said before the others could speak. An image of a woman with brown hair and green eyes appeared she wore blue overalls and a pink shirt underneath it. She was brushing her hair and placed it in a loose ponytail. Sage immediately recognized her. "Lita." He whispered. He watched her intently and he could feel something was different around her.
Lita walked down the stairs and stopped on the entrance to the leaving room. There you could see Mina and Ken playing with a little girl that looked no older than four. "Lita come on!" Mina said cheerfully.
They watched as Lita jogged over to them and picked up the girl. She twirled her around once and brought her down laughing. "Mily you ready?" She asked. What came out from the girl's mouth shocked all of them beyond belief. "Yes, mommy." After that they watched as the scene played out before they walked out side. Anubis stopped the image and made it vanished. He turned to look at all of them especially Sage and they were all shocked out of their minds. "What you just saw was a glimpse of the future, precisely in just two hours. The little girl belongs to Lita and Sage. I know that you guys already know that it's her birthday to day…"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm sorry Anubis I thought you said that girl was Sage's." Kento and Ryo said, not believing and still in shock.
"I did." Anubis confirmed
Everyone turned to Sage with incredulous look. "No Way!!!!" They all screamed.
A portal opened up next to Anubis. "You have a chance to wish her happy birthday…" He didn't get to finish his sentence because Sage ran in the portal.
"Thanks Anuby!!!" Ryo and the others yelled as they went after Sage.
Anubis smiled as he looked at them run through the portal as it closed. "Trista it's done."
~`~`~`~`~
In the temple Raye was sweeping the ground when a portal open right in front of her and suddenly a blur of colors was all she saw before she was knocked down. A surprised cry escaped from her lips. "What the hell???" She screamed angry that she was pushed down because of something. She was already angry because of the event that happened with Trista this morning.
"Sorry Raye I didn't mean it." Sage whispered as he looked down at the raven woman on the floor.
"You should watch where…" Before she could yell at the person the voice registered in her mind and her eyes flew opened looking straight into indigo eyes. "Sage!" She exclaimed as she stood up. "Oh my god what are you guys doing here? I thought you guys couldn't come?" Raye asked when she saw all of them in front of her.
Ryo grinned. "And miss Lita's birth day? No way."
Raye gleamed happily. "Come in, I gotta call the others to tell them the plan is still in action." She walked to her room forgetting about sweeping. The others followed silently while looking at their surrounding. "So where is this place?" Kento asked
"It's a temple, Kento. I run it now." She answered as she slides the door open and walked inside. "I'm a priestess but I still go to school."
"Oh." Came a reply from all of them
Raye called everyone but Lita and told them that the Ronins, Mia and Mira were with her right now and that the plan was still in action. The others meaning Amy, Serena, and Andrew will be coming to her temple to help her set the place up while Mina, and Ken were to get Lita down there without suspicion. Raye turned to Sage with a grin. "And don't we have a surprise for you."
Sage could only smile. He didn't want to tell Raye he already knew so he just kept quiet and patiently waited for Lita to come.
~`~`~`~`~
Lita was in her bedroom brushing out her hair and placed it in a loose ponytail. She wore blue overalls and a pink shirt underneath it. She walked out of her room she shared with her four year old daughter and walked into the leaving room. The site of Ken and Mina playing with Milany her daughter a smile grew on her face, even though she wanted Sage to be here with her so they could take care of their daughter by themselves but she knew that was a dream that would never happen no matter how many times she prayed for it. The thought of Milany not knowing whom her father is or not seeing him brought tears to her eyes. She told Milany about her father all the time she had; at night, morning, nap times anytime.
Mina looked up from her little friend and her now fiancé and her gaze fell on Lita's wet one; she was standing by the entrance of the leaving room. Her smile vanished when she saw the tears in her eyes. When Lita had told them she was pregnant by Sage she was so shocked she couldn't move for five minutes. She had never thought Lita would get herself in this mess without getting married first but she had put all the disappointment way and concentrated in helping her friend. She was happy that Lita was bonded with Sage and they both received a daughter from it. Yes, she felt sorry for her because she had gave up all her dreams to take care of her beautiful daughter yet she was also proud of her. She had placed her self in a mess and she stuck to it, she didn't abandon Milany and she respected that so much. "Lita come on!" She said cheerfully hoping to cheer Lita up a little.
Lita smiled and ran over to Ken and picked up Milany that was in his arms, she twirled her around in the air and brought her back down giggling, she kissed the young girl's cheek and smiled at her. Milany had her father's hair color and it fell to her shoulders. Her eyes were like her mother's a stunning combination. 'Sage if only you knew…you have a beautiful daughter.' She thought.
"Mily you ready?" She asked the little girl as she placed Milany down and helped her wear her jacket.
"Yes, mommy." Her voice was excited and joyful just like a four year old should be, her eyes full of amusement.
Ken stood up from the ground and dusted himself off, looking at Lita he saw a grown woman at a very, very young age. She was turning twenty-one today. He was disappointed that she no longer went to school yet she seemed to have the air of intelligence around her. She was no longer a troublemaker one that starts fights, she held herself in a motherly type of a woman, no more messing around. He was so proud of her. Raising a child is not an easy job to do yet with the help of her friends she raised Milany into a kind and generous sweet girl. The love that radiated from Lita's eyes was unquestionable powerful and sincere. He knew that she loved Milany very much that she would die for the pumpkin.
Lita squat down and buttoned Milany's jacket, she placed a scarf around her neck and tucked it inside her jacket. She giggled when Milany frowned and tried to talk. The scarf was covering her mouth and her voice was muffled. Lita tugged the scarf down a little so her mouth would show. "Better?"
Milany nodded quickly as she beamed. She planted a kiss on her mother's cheek and ran to her room upstairs. Lita stood up and put on her jacket before facing her brother and sister in law. "Okay so why do I have to go to Raye's temple?" She asked suspiciously. Later before Mina and Ken had forced Lita into going into the temple without giving her a straight answer. It's not like she didn't mind going t Raye's place.
Mina giggled while Ken only smiled. "You'll see." He whispered. After he had asked Mina to marry him the two had moved in her house her parents left for her and they asked Lita to come with them. All her friends were in college and had somewhat a part time jobs. Mina for one was a half time model and was pretty well known in Tokyo. Ken had asked Andrew if he could work with him, part time. Serena was an interior designer, shockingly she had put herself together and her IQ now rivaled with Amy's. Amy helped in the hospital she wanted to work in when she was done with her studies. While Raye took on the temple, her grandfather had fell ill and died last summer. With the help of her friends she made it through her grief.
"We better get going, before Raye blows a gasket." Mina whispered as she checked her watch for the time.
"All right," Lita walked towards the stairs. "Mily come down." She called.
Soon they heard a door slam and foot steps running down the hall way towards the stairs. Milany had both hands behind her back as she came down.
"Mily what are you hiding?" Lita asked curious.
"Nothing." Milany quickly said looking like she was just caught with her hands in the cookie jaw. "Can we go to aunty Raye's now?" She asked.
~`~`~`~`~
In the temple, in Raye's room everyone but the four was already there. Cake, food, and refreshments were out on the low table in the middle of the room. Raye was pacing while everyone including Sage and the others was sitting down.
"Do you think Mina and Ken persuaded her to come?" Serena asked worried.
"I hope so." Sage said.
"She will come she has too." Andrew said.
Suddenly they heard footsteps running towards them in the snow and smiled when they heard. "I hope Raye won't be too angry." It was Lita.
"Don't worry about it." Ken said
"Mily are you okay?" Mina asked
"Yes aunty."
The door swung open and four people ran in. Lita was overwhelmed when all of them yelled happy birthday. Tears gathered in her eyes as she looked directly in indigo eyes that stared at her
Lita stood there everything around her seemed to have stopped when she saw the one man she thought she would never see again. Letting go of Milany's hand she ran to him blinded by her tears. "Sage!" She squealed happily.
Sage braced himself for the impact she was about to make when she threw her self to him and brought forth his arms. Once in his arms he twirled her once and brought her back down laughing. He kissed her softly.
"Sage." Lita whispered as she hugged him. Suddenly she remembered Milany; she turned to her and mentioned her to come to them. Milany suddenly became timid as she obeyed her mother. When she reached her mother she hid behind her mother's long legs. Her green eyes locked gazed with Sage's indigo eyes, slowly she smiled. Lita made her get away from her legs and behind her placing her in front of her. "Come on Mily introduce yourself." Lita said.
"M-my name is Milany Date." She whispered shyly as she stared at the ground.
"She's worst than Amy." Raye whispered to Mina who nodded in agreement. "She sure is but it's understandable." Amy who was a few feet away pretended not to hear what Raye had just said.
Sage looked at the little girl to Lita. He was beyond surprised and shocked that he had a beautiful daughter even though he already knew about it he couldn't help himself when he looked into Milany's eyes they were the exact same eyes as Lita but they had a pinch of blue in them. Once he saw Lita nodded in confirmation that he was a father his smile broadens and he squatted down to look in Milany's eyes that remarkably reminded him of Lita's. "Mily this is your daddy." Lita said to her daughter.
Sage smiled at her and brought out his arms, Milany ran into his arms as she yelled "Daddy!"
Serena smiled a serene and happy smile. Seeing the small family get together made her so happy. She would catch Lita crying once in a while because Sage wasn't there to see Milany or be with her. She looked up at Andrew as she sunk in his embrace; they were to be married nest summer. "Makes wanna have one huh?" she whispered to him.
Andrew nodded slightly as he continued to watch the family in front of him. He looked down at Serena and smiled a charming smile and winked. Serena giggled.
Later in the party Milany was with Amy and Mina who were asking her if she had brought the item she was supposed to bring from their house. When Milany nodded and brought it out of her pocket she handed it to Amy. Amy then place the item in a velvet case and gave it back to Milany. Then Mina had told her to go up to Lita and give it to her. Lita was surprised when Milany had come to her holding a velvet box in her hand. "Mily what's that?" She asked.
"It's for you mommy." Milany said as she brought her hand forward. By now everyone's eyes were on the two girls; one mother one daughter. Lita gasped when she saw the present inside the box. A ring stood shining. A rose identical to her rose earrings was attached to a single silver band. Engraved on it was; "Your daughter thought of this, we wish you the best. Love your friends." Lita looked down at Milany with a bright smile.
"You like mommy?" Milany asked a little shy.
"No, Milany I don't like it," She whispered and Milany seemed hurt by her words while her friends were surprised. "I love it." She finished. Milany lost her hurt look when a bright smile appeared on her face and she threw herself to Lita who was a bit surprised. Suddenly everyone whispered. "Awe how cute."
"Put it on, put it on!" Milany eagerly said and Lita had to laugh at the eagerness her daughter displayed. She placed the ring on and Milany kissed her cheek, she then went to Sage and next to him after pecking his cheek. The party ended a few hours later, everyone was laying on the floor or bed. Milany was sleeping in Serena's arms while her parents were sleeping on the floor in each other's arms. Everyone else was a wake. Mina smiled. "The whole family is sleeping." She whispered. She looked at them.
Mia yawned. "Sleeping sounds so good right now." She whispered as she snuggled in Ryo's arms. "Milany is so cute," She whispered.
"I totally agree with you." Rowen said. "How old is she anyway?"
Serena placed Milany between Lita and Sage and immediately the little pumpkin attached herself to Lita. "She's about four."
Cye smiled while Mira frowned a little. "Is it just me or does everyone feel like something big is about to happen?" She asked.
The room got quiet and everyone nodded as if to confirm what she had asked.
"I feel there is a good thing yet a bad one as well." Raye whispered.
"We'll just have to wait and see." Andrew whispered as he held Serena in his arms.
