"Go on Em, you have been working hard..."
Mia ran as fast as she could through the forest as she shook her head.
"Mike doesn't know how hard I train"she panted, jumping and kicking of a tree and swinging from a branch and landing on the floor again as she rolled and built up her speed.
"I train more than all of them put together tenfold"she panted as she jumped over fallen logs and ran the last stretch as she saw the sun rising as she leaped as far as she could over the lake and landed on the other side with a smirk as she ran off.
The samurai rangers clashed sword that morning at James Shiba and his wife Sasha watched with Jii when running was heard.
Mia ran into the grounds pushing the hair from her eyes as she realised she was running straight for Jii's bike as she jumped doing a flip over it and landing in a crouch and panted kneeling on the floor as she stood and pulled her ponytail tighter.
"Where have you been Mia?"
Mia turned to the group and smiled as she adjusted the glasses on her nose.
"Just went for a run and did some training"she panted, feeling light headed as Jii folded his arms.
"How early did you go out this morning?"he asked or narrowed his eyes.
"Or how late last night did you decide to start?"he asked and Mia shook her head.
"I started about an hour and a half before you lot woke up"she said and swallowed.
Or really starting at 11 o'clock yesterday night...
"Allright then, I will let you off"he said and handed her a glass of water that didn't last a minute as she wiped the water from her lips.
"Thank you Jii"she said and Jayden frowned.
"What do he mean how late you started yesterday?"he asked and Mia smiled.
"Don't worry, I just like to have a good head start on things"she said and brushed her fringe from her face.
"Hello, James Shiba and this is my wife Sasha, who might you be?"
Mia turned to James and blinked.
"Are you really?!"she asked and grinned"Because only the real James Shiba would know who I am"she said and he frowned.
"I know you?"
"I god hope you do"she said and he tilted his head.
"You don't look familiar"he said and Mia sighed facepalming.
"Darling remember when you got your ass kicked by that homeless 9 year old girl?"Sasha said and James went wide eyed.
"Bloody hell you have changed!"
Mia let out a howl of laughter smiling at James.
"It's nice to see you too Mr and Mrs Shiba"she said and bowed to them and gave them a wicked smile.
"And for your information, I wasn't homeless, just lost and had been for about a week while on a camping trip"she said with a smirk at Sasha then turned sneezing a few times.
"Hey hey! Don't me selfish! Leave some spare one's to us"James said and Mia looked around.
"Jii, I thought you banned all cat's from the grounds?"she asked and Jii frowned.
"I did ban cats from the grounds why?"
"Why ban cats from the grounds? We found this one earlier and decided to get it"Emily said holding up the black cat as Mia shuddered.
"Just please keep it away from me"she said and Emily frowned.
"Why? Please don't say you hate cats! He's too cute look!"
Emily walked to Mia and held up the cat as Mia jumped back.
"Emily don't really please!"
"But Mia look!"
Mia pushed Emily back from her as she dropped the cat and stumbled back into the table.
"Mia!"Jayden said and Mia inhaled.
"I'm very allergic to cats, it's why Jii banned cats in the house"she said and sniffed.
"Sorry Em but I can't afford to get ill right now"she said blushing and vanished.
"Do you think she got the allergic thing from her Mum or her Dad?"Kevin asked and Jayden frowned.
"Have any of us met her parents before?"he asked and James inhaled.
"No and none of you will, Mia's parents abandoned her when she was young"he said and walked inside with his wife.
"Now everyone a new nighlock has decided to show his face, his name is Decker, he is a half nighlock and is incredibly dangerous"Jii said and looked at Mia looking at her fists.
"I want you to be cautious against him, all 5 of you"he said and Jayden frowned.
"There's 6 of us"
"I know but Mia will not be attending this fight, Decker more or likely decided to show up to kill Mia as he has a long history with her family"
"I have told you before I am more than ready to face him"she said and Jii nodded.
"It's not that you're not ready to face him, it's because you are reckless, I can't condone you going off on your own to face him"he said and Mia shook her head getting up and walking off.
The rangers had fought Decker over occasions, Mia being the one always kept at the house.
Soon enough back up was brought in to help with the fights.
Back up being the parents of the other rangers.
Whom were excited to be able to see their parents but Mia walked to see them when she heard Mike talking.
"Mia is the laziest ranger you can get! I have never ever seen her train with us! She's either sleeping or lounging around and she still got the beetle disk from Jii"
Mia felt hurt at that comment as she stepped back.
"Mike don't be mean!"Emily said and Mia peered around the corner to see everyone.
"It's true though isn't it boys, she never trains! The only time she ever does exercise is with her morning runs and then again she only runs for an hour and a half"he said and Jii inhaled.
"Mike please note that on days when Mia feels okay about lying to me like today she will say she was running for an hour and a half, I caught her on multiple occasions leaving the house at 10 o'clock at night and not returning till 10 in the morning the next day because she was running, I believe she leaves that time every day and doesn't return till that time"he said and Mike laughed.
"Fat chance of that happening"
"Let's wait up tonight then and see if she does go and I will be the right one here"
Mia vanished from the hall, afraid of hitting something in anger.
