My name is Yulei, I'm currently 7 years old. I'm the youngest of the Ronin Warriors. My armor is the Flame. It was forged by the person who owned the Wildfire armor last, as a way to train his apprentice. At least, that's what Mia told me. I was the only one who could fit into the armor. When I broke the shield and sword that came with it I was surprised at how understanding Ryo was. He just laughed and reminded me of how he broke the Wildfire swords. We replaced the Flame Sword and Shield with the Flare Sword and the Burn Shield.
Anyway, as a Ronin most of my time was spent at the house we now live in. I was always left with Mia while the others went on patrol. That recently changed when Ryo took me out on patrol. At first the patrol passed uneventfully, until we found a group of girls. Sage identified them as Sailor Scouts. There was even one my age and one who was a boy in a group of girls. That kind of reminded me of Mia, other than obvious differences they seemed to be an exact copy of our group.
The next day at school, I couldn't help but think about last night. Ryo said I would make friends, but none of the other kids were interested in making friends with me. None except a strangely familiar girl with pink hair. She said her name was Rini. At lunch I sat down at a lone table, for some odd reason no one else sat there. I didn't care I sat there anyway. I noticed something moving out of the corner of my eyes. It was Rini she sat at the same table. "Why are you always alone?" she asked. "I like being alone…" I told her. "Why? Seems silly to me…" she told me. "Makes since to me…" I replied smiling. She continued to talk but I was uninterested, I just ignored her.
When I came home the only other person there was Kento, he's always home. He's a lazy bum. What do you expect? I went to my room to try to do some homework. Between training, school, patrol, and feeding White Blaze I haven't had time to do much homework. The last time White Blaze went without a meal he tried to eat Kento. Funny, but not very nice. I managed to get caught up, at my own expense. Ryo yelled at me for not feeding White Blaze. "Suit up, it's time for patrol…" he finished.
Patrol was boring my shield and swords were getting heavy. I was patrolling in the park by my school. I looked around for any sign of witnesses and sat down on a park bench. I took off the sheath and holster holding on my shield and sword. I needed some time to think. Just as I closed my eyes a strange scent filled the air. "Smoke like that from a fire, but from where?" I thought. My eyes opened almost as if I had no control over them. The school it was on fire! I strapped on my sheath and holster, grabbed my sword and shield and ran towards the school.
Flames were everywhere, but strangely enough not on the building. A circle of flames surrounded me, this was planned. A dark figure walked up to me from out of the flames, it threw something down in front of me. A girl, one of the Sailor Scouts. The youngest, now I had gotten a good look at her face. She looked an awful lot like Rini. I guess that didn't matter, she was still alive, just not awake. I reached up to my shoulder and pulled off my shield, then I pulled my sword from it's sheath. "I'll make you a deal; win this fight and both of you get to walk away, lose and she walks but you become my new playmate," the dark figure laughed evilly.
I ran at the evil thing, my sword drawn and ready. If this thing was fire-based I'd be in trouble. I slashed at it and raised my shield to block a clumsy blow. Obviously even though I discovered it to be fire-based, it had no strengths of any kind. All of it's power was in magic use. The creature threw numerous fire spells at me but all of them bounced off my shield. Finally I was close enough. My sword cut through whatever it was over and over. Bringing it down, however magic based it was it was no match for my sword. I was about to just huff and walked away when I noticed that Mini Moon was wide awake and I had forgotten to cover my face!
She was just sitting there staring, I could tell that she recognized me. "Who are you?" she asked. "Just call me Flame…" I told her disguising my voice and hiding my facial features in the armor. I looked around for any means of escape. Thankfully there was a brick wall just small enough that I could jump over. I started to run to it, she began to follow me, I lost her at the wall as soon as I was over she didn't follow. I fell into some rose bushes; it didn't hurt though the armor kept me from feeling much of anything. I crept slowly out of the bushes, looking around to see if there was any chance I could be caught.
It was late by the time I got home. Ryo, my segregate father had the whole team out looking for me. This would eventually spell trouble; I decided to go to bed. I knew this wouldn't end well; it never did when something like this happened. Ryo would probably not let me out on patrol again for a while, but I didn't care, I was too tired to.
