Book one Chapter 3
br
That night it had been uneventful. Cye hadn't woken up at all.
After dinner everyone went to bed.
br
That morning Cye awoke feeling quite tired. He got up and noticed Kento was already up.
Shrugging he stumbled down the stairs.
"Wot everah I did, it made me tired. I think I'm just going to go to the couch and sleep my life away."
Cye trudged into the den where Yulie was showing Anubis his cartoon collection.
"I see…ohh..Torrent? You alright? Maybe you should lie down."
br
Cye looked up weakly in the direction of the voice. "Wot?"
br
::He's delirious. What did that armor do to him?::
"Cye," running over to him, "Come on, lay down over here on the couch. Yulie get up."
br
Cye layed or more like fell down on the couch. Anubis grabbed the blanket off the chair and spread it out over Cye.
"What are you doing out of bed? Torent look I'm right here."
Cye's vision was so blurry. All he saw was a red blob. Thinking it was Ryo and not Anubis. "Ryo….? Don't let Rowen near tha stove. Ungh…sleep…tired…*snore*"
The youngest Ronin curled up and went to sleep.
br
Kento walked in, in his boxers eating a doenut. "'nubis, what's wrong with him?"
Anubis put a finger to his mouth, "Shhh. Yulie go tell Mia to bring me a bowl of water and a cloth.
Hardrock your friend is delirious. The armor your friend has gotten is giving his problems I believe."
br
Kento dropped his doenut and ran over kneeling down beside him. Putting his hand on Cye's forehead to try and feel the fever. It didn't take long. As soon as he touched the youngest Ronin's forehead he pulled it off.
"Yeow! That's hot! How can Cye live with a fever that high? The only person that can do that is Ryo!"
"I'm telling you Hardrock, It's the side effect of that new armor.!"
br
Mia came running in with the others behind her. "Anubis, who is hurt?"
Yulie ran up beside the couch. "Mia I told you. Anubis thinks Cye is sick. If ya ask me he is just sleeping."
br
Anubis shook his head. "Yulie, Torrent is sick. His new armor left him a wonderful side effect. Mia the cloth and water please."
Mia obeyed.
"How high is the fever?" Ryo looked at Cye's pale face. Anubis didn't answer. He just wet the cloth and placed it on Cye's forehead.
The cloth smoked and sizzled .
"WOAH!" Ryo's mouth hung wide open.
"My word!" Mia stepped back.
Cye groaned, the cloth was sooooo cold.
"Cold….I'm cold…"
Cye opened his eyes. He saw a group of people staring at him.
"Hey Cye how ya feelin'?" Rowen was the first one to notice that he was awake.
Cye blinked a few times his sea-green eyes filled with confusion. "Rowen?" Cye's voice croaked from being sick.
Everyone else looked down.
"Cye!" they yelled.
Mia set on the edge of the couch brushing Cye's bangs from his face. "Cye are you ok? You scared us for a minute!"
"Wot? How come we're back in our world? Weren't we fighting Talpa?
Mia I am really confused."
Everyone took turns explaining what had happened while Cye had been out. "Then you just walked down the stairs. I called your name but you didn't answer. That was when I noticed that your eyes were glazed over. I checked for fever and…" Anubis was interrupted by Kento "Cye you over did Ryo's fever record! You had 130.6. I'm surprised your not dead now!"
Cye paled "130.6? But..but that's hot. Would that explain why I am sooo cold? It feels like 50 below zero in here. Honestly Kento how can you be wearing boxers in this weather?"
br
Kento shook his head "Be quiet! At least I don't wear footies."
Cye blushed. Mia scolded Kento, "Be quiet. At least Cye is small enough to wear them. You probably couldn't wear them to begin with. Rowen do you think that this fever of Cye's is causing him to be so cold?"
Rowen nodded, "Yea' tat would make sense."
Sage pushed his way through the others and knelt down beside Cye.
"Cye I am going to heal you. Just relax."
On impulse Cye grabbed Kento's hand squeezing it.
Once Kento squeezed it back he relaxed and let Sage help him out.
After awhile Sage was finished.
"You feel any better?"
Cye nodded. "I feel a lot better actually."
Sage put a hand on Cye's forehead.
"Your fever is gone. I'd say your ok to get up."
br
Cye set up, shook his head to stop the dizziness that had overcome him, then used Kento as an object to catch him if he fell down.
Kento grabbed Cye's arm to help him? "Man are you sure your ok?"
Cye nodded "Yes I'm fine. WOAH!"
Cye tripped and would have hit the floor if Kento hadn't caught him.
"Yea'…"He growled, "Your ok alright. Come on lets get you up stairs and help you get dressed."
Cye nodded reluctantly letting Kento help him up the stairs.
The others shook their heads and went back to what they were doing!
**~~**
br
Later that afternoon the Ronins (Mia, Yulie and Anubis stayed behind!) were in the city shopping and looking around.
Kento dragged Cye to the nearest food place, "Come on Cye, I'm hungry!"
br
Cye tried to pull back, "No you muffin you just ate 10 minutes ago."
br
Everyone else just laughed.
br
"Cye please-wha? Hey look at that!"
Kento let go of Cye making Cye fall backwards onto the road.
br
"Ow…..Kento wot's wrong?" Cye stood up rubbing his sore bottom. He motioned for the others to come over.
Cye ran over to Kento. "Kento?"
br
Kento shushed him looking around for something.
br
Then out of no where came a monster. It flew towards an unspecting Cye. Who was confused at what had Kento so worked up.
br
Kento gasped…What ever he had heard was flying towards Cye. He ran and threw himself on top of Cye knocking them both over.
The monster barely missed them.
"You ok?" Kento helped Cye sit up.
"Yea' think so. Jus' got the wind knocked outta me! But Kento wot is that thing?"
The others ran over worried. "You guys alright?"
br
"We're fine from what I can tell. But Ryo what is that thing?" As Kento helped Cye stand.
"He doesn't seem ta friendly." Cye grunted.
br
"Call on your sub armors. Hurry!" Sage jumped out of the way before he was hit.
"An' your while your at 't call on ya armas as well." Rowen yelled.
br
Cye had just finished transforming into his armor when the monster threw a car at him.
Caught by surprise the car knocked him over and into another one. He was now squashed between two huge cars.
"Help! Can't breath!"
Kento heard Cye's call for help and started after him.
"Coming Cye!"
Kento threw the car that was holding Cye away from the fight scene and caught Cye as he fell forward.
"You ok?"
Cye nodded weakly,"Yes, I think so."
Kento shook his head, "This just ain't your day is it?"
"No it doesn't seem to be my week!" Cye agreed.
Kento got side tracked and left Cye to go after one of the Nether World scum leaving Cye to fend on his own.
br
"Supah Wave Smashah!" Cye knocked the monster over.
It stood back up.
Cye gulped, "Uh..nice monstah..Ooo boy….. Yipes! Fireh is not a very nice thing ta throw at people!"
He dodged the fire that the monster threw at him tripping and falling over.
br
"Ryo get over there and help Cye. His weakness is fire. One blast and he's out of here." Sage commanded.
br
Ryo nodded then made a beeline for the bearer of Torrent who was just about to be barbacued.
br
"Ungh…! Ow…This is just not my week at all!" Cye groaned as he got knocked back down after he had just stood up. His back was now facing the Monster so he couldn't see what was going on.
He felt heat coming towards him. Weakly he turned around Sea-green eyes widing, "I cahn't move. I'm going to be fried! Wot? My…my armor is disappearing. It must be the heat! It's too hot for it to stay on. I'm done for now!"
Cye closed his eyes saying a silent good bye as he waited for fire to engulf him.
All of a sudden he felt him self being picked up and held agaisnt someones chest. Putting their or its body over his as a shield.
br
Cye and the mystery person hit the ground hard.
br
Cye opened his eyes. He saw red armor. "Ryo? Wot?"
Ryo held the youngest Ronin close as the fire kept coming.
::Why isn't it stopping? Cye can't take much more of this. His breathing is already shallow.::
Cye cried out as the fire got through his sub armor burning his skin.
"RYO…..IT HURTS!" tears ran down his cheeks as he felt his body being burned.
Ryo hugged him closer trying to shield him even more.
The fire was helping Ryo but killing Cye.
"Hang on Cye! This monster has us paralyzed some how. So we're stuck till he stops."
Cye just clung to Ryo. Then he blacked out. Ryo felt Cye go limp against him. ::His body has taken all it could. You did fine Cye, You did fine.::
br
"Sage we have ta stop tat fireah!"
"I know Rowen! Kento do your sure-kill. Rowen you too. THUNDER BOLT CUT!"
br
"IRON ROCK CRUSHER!"
"ARROW SHOCK WAVE!"
The monster didn't even flinch.
"Geez it didn' do anyting! Now what Sage?" Rowen looked at Sage.
"I don't know Rowen."
Kento stood there going through possible ideas in his head. He was angry.
::Why couldn't they leave Cye alone? It's always him and it's not fair. He's just 12 years old.::
"Yell ARMOR OF EARTH QUAKE DAO CHIN!"
A voice in Kento's head said.
Kento's armor changed to brown.
Sand came out of no where surrounding him. Then he stood in the armor of earth quake.
Sage and Rowen room.
br
"You hurt the one I care about most! He didn't deserve any of what he received. Now you shall pay!"
Kento knelt down and put his hand on the ground.
"I call upon the powers of the Earth. Earth Quake!"
br
The Earth started shaking then it opened up right where the monster was. The monster fell through the hole, not coming back up, for after it fell through the hole closed back up.
The armor left Kento in his Orange sub-armor.
"Not bad eh?" then seeing Ryo holding a non moving Cye he ran towards them, Sage and Rowen following.
br
Kento took Cye out of Ryo's arms and held him close. "Cye..wake up buddy! Get water he needs water!"
Rowen ran to a closed shop grabbed a bucket and filled it.
"Throw it on him!"
Rowen obeyed.
Cye started glowing sky blue. His eyes opened weakly, the water had given him energy.
"Kento? Tha monstah!"
"It's ok…I got rid of him." Kento soothed.
"How did you defeat tha monsta Kento?" Cye was still in Kento's lap and against his chest.
::Kento must have been really worried about me. He won't let me go! Oh well I'm to weak anyway. I hope he's going to carry home to.::
"Come on lets go home and tell Mia about Kento's new armor."
Sage stood up helping Ryo walk along with Rowen.
br
"Can ya walk buddy?" Kento looked down worried at Cye.
"I don't think so. I'm sorry." Cye's face looked sadly into Kento's bright midnight eyes.
"Don' worry, I'll carry ya. Now show me where ya hurt so I won't grab you in the wrong places."
Cye showed him then Kento picked him up gently minding the injuries and carried Cye home.

"How high is the fever?" Ryo looked at Cye's pale face. Anubis didn't answer. He just wet the cloth and placed it on Cye's forehead.
The cloth smoked and sizzled .
"WOAH!" Ryo's mouth hung wide open.
"My word!" Mia stepped back.
Cye groaned, the cloth was sooooo cold.
"Cold….I'm cold…"
Cye opened his eyes. He saw a group of people staring at him.
"Hey Cye how ya feelin'?" Rowen was the first one to notice that he was awake.
Cye blinked a few times his sea-green eyes filled with confusion. "Rowen?" Cye's voice croaked from being sick.
