Note: Once again, and forever more, I do not own Ronin Warriors, or Sailor Moon, but I do own my characters Geoffrey and Callipso. They are based on my cousin and my best friend, who I thought you guys would make a good couple. Please don't kill me you two, both of you have never even met. Please, please, please review my story! Bye now.
Circumstances
Cha.2 Friend or Foe
Two days after Mia's death…
"I can't believe she's really gone," Ryo was sitting in his room looking out the window. He had been getting ready for Mia's funeral and had had a few extra minutes. For some reason he began to think it was his fault that she died: he knew it wasn't, but he couldn't help feeling that it was.
"I know it probably wouldn't help much, but I'm sorry for your loss," Ryo turned around to see Raye. She smiled at him.
"Oh, thanks," he replied. Man, is she pretty, gotta love those eyes, he thought to himself. Raye put her hand on his shoulder; he glanced at it, and then returned to looking out the window.
"The rest of the guys are waiting for you," Raye said.
"Aren't you coming?" Ryo looked at her.
"No, but Darien is. The rest of us don't think we should go because Mia didn't know us too well."
"Hmm… well, I'll see ya later."
"Have a goo…err, don't totally break down."
"Ha, I won't try to."
"Hey, Ryo, is there a problem with your suit or something?" Sage called to Ryo from downstairs. Ryo smiled at Raye and began to walk out the door, when he suddenly stopped, turned around, and gave Raye a soft kiss on her cheek. Raye gasped in surprise as Ryo left the room. After she heard the boys leave, Amy came in to get Raye. She and Raye then went downstairs into the living room, where the rest of the Scouts were.
About ten minutes later there was a knock at the door; Leta ran out of the room to answer it, and returned with a girl about their age, maybe a year older. (This is you, Moo, even if she doesn't look like you) She had beautiful red hair that looked like it was made of fire, and two large and very deep green eyes. She was wearing a long violet-colored dress with spaghetti straps. Around her arm, in between her shoulder and her elbow, was a gold band; underneath the band was a word in Japanese that had been painted blue.
"Her name is Callipso," Leta explained.
"Hello," Amy began to ask," Why are you here? Can we help you with something?"
"Oh, no," Callipso answered. " I just wanted to see who you were. Are any of the Ronins or Ancients her?"
"No," Mina said, "Why do you ask?"
"For some reason they don't seem to like me, don't ask me why."
"Is your hair made out of fire?" Rini asked, she seemed fascinated by Callipso's hair. Her hand was hovering above the flowing strands that reached down to Callipso's butt, afraid to touch them for fear of burning herself.
"No, is yours made out of cotton candy?" Callipso pointed at Rini's pink hair.
"No," Rini giggled.
"So, what are your names," Callipso pondered; everyone introduced themselves. "Aren't you the Sailor Scouts?"
"Yep! I'm Sailor Moon," Serena announced, beaming.
"Serena we don't even know whose side she's on," Raye yelled, " for all we know she is a spy from that Geoffrey guy!" At these words, Callipso looked down with sadness in her eyes.
"Are you a spy?" Leta asked her new friend.
"I'd better go," Callipso started for the door.
"Well, are you or are you not a spy of from Geoffrey," Raye demanded.
"Umm…no, yes, I don't know," Callipso was getting very nervous.
"Who or what are you?" Mina asked. Amy got out her computer to scan Callipso.
"I'm sorry, I really have to go," Callipso made a run for the door; she had nearly made it when she ran into Anubis. "Anubis?" her eyes widen in a mixture of shock and fear.
"Callipso? What are you doing here? What about Geoffrey?" Anubis searched her face for answers, as the Scouts looked on in shock. How did he know her?
"He's of in some sort of training, and I wanted to see who your friends were. I am so, so glad you're here."
"You shouldn't have come, if the Ronins find out that you are here, you might as well doom your planet."
"I just want to go home, and it is not my fault, you know that. I've told you a thousand times how I feel about Geoffrey," she was practically yelling his into his uncaring ears.
"I know, but you can't come here anymore. If Geoffrey finds out that you came here, Htrae is sure to be destroyed, and probably, I will be as well," he calmly remarked.
"I know, I know, but you don't understand what's like for me! I miss you terribly, and Geoffrey is always trying to brainwash me to become his slave, and it's getting really hard to take," she sat down in a nearby chair, and cradled her head.
"You'd better leave."
"Why can't you understand? You always were pigheaded."
"I do understand."
"No, no you don't; no one does!"
"Yes, I do, you have to trust me."
"You don't trust me."
"Callipso," he was starting to get very annoyed with her attitude towards him.
"I truly love you, Anubis! Why can't you understand my position? Why am I so alone in my battles? Why, why, why?" Callipso began to run out the door, halfway out on the lawn between the house and the road when Anubis caught up to her. He grabbed her arm and spun her around, pulling her into a very passionate kiss.
"You are not alone," he said," but Geoffrey can know nothing of us or our past."
"I love you," she whispered in bliss, then she turned and disappeared from sight.
"What was that all about?" Amy asked, Anubis had forgotten about the Scouts presence.
"It's hard to explain," he replied, looking at the spot Callipso had last been.
"Well, the funeral won't be over for two more hours," Leta hinted, a smile on her face; she loved romances.
"It may be a little confusing," he started, sitting down in the closest chair. "You see, Callipso is from another planet, named Htrae: it is the exact duplicate of Earth. Only the people there are based on the elements and all have special, unique powers."
"Is that why, she had the word fire on her arm, below that band?" Serena asked.
"Yes, she is based on the element of fire, and that band shows her status in the world," he looked out the window.
"What does the band stand for exactly, like what's her status?"
"She would be known as a princess." The girls looked up in shock; they had just been talking to a princess?
"So, why is she here instead of there?"
"She was kidnapped."
"Ohh!"
"How is she connected to Geoffrey?" Mina asked.
"They're betroved," sadness now filled his eyes, a single tear fell to the ground.
"How did you meet Callipso?" Amy questioned.
"A long time ago, right after she was brought to the Dynasty, Tulpa announced his son was to marry her. But, until they were married, the warlords and I could do whatever we pleased with her. As soon as I first saw her, in all her beauty, I knew that I couldn't let the others ruin her. I wouldn't let anyone except Tulpa near here. Eventually, we fell in love."
"That's so beautiful," Leta announced with a dreamy look, " what happened between you?"
"When Tulpa was defeated, Geoffrey came back an demanded her form me. I haven't seen her again, at least not until today," he looked to where she had disappeared again.
"So, lemme get this straight. Callipso is good, but she can't really do anything because she is betroved to Geoffrey, right?" Raye mused.
"Yes, that about sums it out."
"Can we trust her," Mina asked.
"I really don't know," Anubis started to walk out to the spot she had disappeared at, almost as if he hoped that he could follow her to where she had gone. When he reached it, he noticed a locket on the ground. He knelt and picked it up, seeing immediately that it was indeed hers. A small flame in the middle of a bow and arrow; her seal. Upon opening it, he found that she had purposely dropped it. Inside was a picture of her and a note saying:
My dear Anubis-
Please help me in fight against Geoffrey. I know deep down, no matter how much you try and fight it, you still love me, as I you. Agree to help, and I shall tell you his one weakness. You know where to find me, come at midnight.
Callipso
Princess of Htrae
