Shebayjay: Yeah, another chapter. I'm happy.
Jamie: Great my creator is acting like a little kid again. She always does this when she is overly happy.
Shebajay: Is that a bad thing? Anyways chapter three will be a two part again. I didn't want to make it overly long.
Jamie: It's long as is. You should see how long the next chapter is.
Shebayjay: Sorry about that. It's hard for me to end a chapter. (Starts to bable)
Rowen: There she goes again.
Jamie: Rowen, good of you to stop in.
Rowen: Don't you think we should do the disclaimer.
Jamie: Right. Shebajay doesn't own the Ronin Warriors. She unfortantly owns me, the plot, and her orginal characters.
Rowen: All right on with the show, I mean story.
Shebajay: Hey, that's my line.
Chapter 3: Curry and Dark Guardians
At Mia's Mansion
Yuli was sitting on the couch waiting for Kayura to return with everyone who stayed at the park. Kayura left when she had sensed a powerful entity appear near the Ronins. This made Mia and the others worry, however Kayura just order the warlords to stay put.
"Huh." Yuli said as a pink light appeared in the living room. "Ryo," the boy said. This made Mia and the warlords rush into the room.
"Everyone you are okay," Mia said eyes watering. "I'll go make something to eat. I'm sure everyone needs something to eat." She was about to leave when Cale interrupted her train of thought.
"Jamie," Cale said realizing she was out cold. Everyone looked towards Rowen who held an unconscious Jamie in his arms. "What happened," he said a little upset.
"Jamie is exhausted," Sage said. "She used her armors powers to defeat the three warriors that appeared. Also, a dynasty empress appeared. I believe the name was Toshiko."
"What," Dais yelled. "Toshiko." Everyone glared at him. "Sorry," He whispered. Rowen looked down at Jamie and sighed when he saw her still sleeping.
"Um," said Cye a little startled by Dais yell. "Do you know who Toshiko is?" Everyone else was wondering the same thing.
"She is the older sister of Talpa," said Dais, "one of the most powerful Empresses of our time."
"How do you know her," asked Cale and Sekhmet, looking at him full of jealousy. Kayura sweat dropped when at the two looks.
"Before I met Talpa I was working for Toshiko," Dais said. "She wanted me to help protect Talpa."
"Toshiko created the mystical armors," Jamie said starting everyone. "Sorry, I should say she created the armor ours came from."
"Are you saying she created Talpa's armor,' said Sekhmet, Jamie nodded. "She's that powerful." It was more of a statement then a question.
"Now that I think about it," Jamie said getting every ones attention. Rowen had sat Jamie down on the couch and was sitting next to her. "It's believed our armor/Talpa were once part of the armor Toshiko wears."
"What," everyone shouted. Jamie put her hands over her ears to prevent herself from going deaf.
"Well that explains why she's after our armors," said Sage. "And why she went for Jamie first."
"Right," Jamie said. "Since I was alone I became an easy target. Unfortunately she didn't count on my guardians being there to help me escape." Sadness entered her voice all of a sudden and her eyes became masked. No one could tell what Jamie was feeling since she didn't show any emotions.
"That reminds me," said Dais. "Those three that attacked us I've never seen them. I know for a fact that they never worked for Toshiko."
"You are right," said Rowen, "they aren't from the dynasty." Everyone looked at Rowen but froze when they saw Jamie startled from Dais statement.
"Jamie," Mia said softly. "Are you alright?" Of course Mia would be the one who goes into a mother hen mood.
"Jamie," Sekhmet said. "You know who those three were." His voice was demanding an answer and had a harsh tone that made Jamie flinch.
"Sekhmet," Cye said. "Don't be so mean." Sekhmet flinched at Cye's voice. The quiet and calm one who didn't like to fight just raised his voice at the green haired warlord. Everyone looked at Cye startled.
"Thank you," Jamie whispered. She didn't like anyone yelling or demanding anything. Cye let a small smile appear on his lips. "Sekhmet, you are right," she said so everyone could hear. "Those three warriors were my guardians." The warlords, Kayura, and Mia were surprised.
"Why aren't you five surprised," Cale said to the Ronins.
"Jamie did say their names," said Kento. "They happened to have the names of her guardians, which she told us about earlier. So if you connect the dots you have the answer." Everyone stared at him 'with I can't believe you figured it out' looks. "What," he said slightly irritated with them. "Is it hard to believe I figured it out?"
"Yes," everyone said, except Mia, Jamie, and Kayura.
"That reminds me," said Kento. "What should we call refer to them as?" This drew everyone's attention to him. "I can't just call them the three warriors every time we meet them its way too confusing."
"How about we call them the Dark Guardians," Jamie said since she wanted to help Kento out.
"Dark Guardians," Ryo said. "I like that."
"Makes sense," said Kento. "After all they did go to the dark side." Everyone looked at him with sweat drops.
"Seems like we have everything settled," Mia said. "I'm going to go fix dinner for us."
"I'll help," Jamie said standing, as Mia was about to leave. Rowen smiled when he saw Jamie offer her help and walk over to Mia.
"Are you sure you should be up and about," Mia asked concern in her voice. "Jamie I don't want you to push yourself so much."
"Don't worry,' Jamie said smiling. "I'm fine. Besides, cooking helps me relax." Cye looked at Rowen questions running through his head.
"I'll help as well, Mia," Cye said. Jamie looked at him and smiled.
"Mia," Jamie said. "Since Cye is willing to help, please leave the cooking to Cye and myself. You must be tired as well."
"Are you sure," Mia asked looking at Jamie, then Cye. They both nodded.
"Don't worry," Cye said. "Jamie and I can handle the cooking. So take it easy and relax with everyone else." He walked over to Jamie and took her hand. They were about to exit and enter the Kitchen when Cye called back over his shoulder. "Kento don't even think to enter the kitchen," he threatened, "or you won't get anything to eat." Everyone began to laugh.
"But Cye…" Kento whined. "I was just going to help." Everyone glared at Kento except Jamie seeing how she was confused. Rowen stood up and walked towards Jamie.
"I think I'll help make sure Kento stays out of the kitchen," Rowen said. "That way we don't have to worry." Everyone nodded in agreement.
Once Jamie and Cye entered the kitchen they had to come up with something to cook. "What should we cook," Jamie asked.
"Curry is good," Cye said. Jamie looked at Cye and nodded. "The type of Curry depends on what we have for ingredients." Once they had all the ingredients they saw it wasn't going to be really spicy which Jamie seemed a little down.
"It's not going to be spicy," Jamie, said disappointed. "Oh well, I'm sure not everyone likes curry spicy." Cye was laughing when he saw Jamie was disappointed.
"It's good it won't be spicy," said Cye. "Unfortunately the only ones who like spicy food are Sage and Rowen. Kento will eat anything regardless. But, no one really likes it as spicy as I like it."
"I like it spicy when your mouth feels like it's on fire," Jamie said. "And no matter what you does it will not stop burning for awhile unless you know the secret technique."
"The fun part of liking food that spicy is seeing the reactions of everyone who eats it," Cye said with a small laugh. Jamie smiled evilly (well more sadistically).
"Okay dinner is ready," Cye called to everyone once they had finished cooking. Everybody came to the table that Jamie had set with the help of Rowen.
"So," said Sekhmet, "what are we eating?" everyone was wondering the same thing.
"Curry," Jamie said overly pleased. Everyone flinched except Cye.
"Curr, Curry," stuttered Cale. "Who added the spices?" The guys held their breaths.
"Jamie did," answered Cye. "Why do you ask?" Everyone seemed even more terrified then before. Even Rowen was afraid and he knew Jamie very well. For some reason Cye seemed a little too happy.
"Rowen," Sage said looking at him worried. "Are you alright?"
"Don't worry," Jamie said her voice soothing. "The curry isn't spicy."
"Right," Cye said sadly. "Unfortunately Mia doesn't have any hot spices." Everyone let out sigh. "Besides," Cye continued, "do you think we are that evil?"
"Yes," said Sekhmet, "especially you Cye."
"Aw," Jamie said hurt. "That hurts." Jamie was pouting which made Rowen sweat drop.
"Jamie," Sekhmet said very scared. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say you were evil." Jamie smirked at him.
"I'll forgive you," Jamie said smirking, "if you take a bite of curry. That way everyone will eat it."
"What," Sekhmet said. "Why do I have to try it?"
"Because, we are evil," Cye said. "Besides, if Jamie or I tried it you still wouldn't believe us."
"True," said Rowen knowing what to get from Jamie, "both of you love super hot and spicy foods." Everyone sweat dropped at Rowen's statement.
"Of course," said Sage. "Jamie would be in love with spicy foods."
"You're one to talk," Kento said looking scared of his curry.
"So Sekhmet," Jamie said soothingly. "Please try our curry." Jamie looked at him with puppy dog eyes.
"Ah," Sekhmet said. He finally sighed and picked up his fork and took a small bite of curry. Everyone, except Jamie and Cye, held their breaths waiting the outcome. "Wow," Sekhmet said stunned. "It's sweet and not spicy at all."
"What," everyone said in disbelief. Everyone grabbed their forks and took a bite of their curry.
"It really is sweet," said Yuli. Everyone looked at Jamie and Cye confused and relieved at the same time.
"Of course it is sweet," Cye said. "Jamie and I know almost everyone here doesn't like spicy foods, besides sweet curry is good as well."
"Jamie," Rowen said. "It's odd for you to eat sweet foods. I mean other than those that are meant to be sweet. So, why would you make sweet curry?" Everyone looked at Jamie.
"Mine isn't sweet," Jamie said. Rowen had a sweat drop appear. Of course Jamie would eat her curry spicy. She couldn't handle sweets to well. Unfortunately the curry everyone was eating was too sweet for her.
"Really," Kento said. "Can I try a bite?" Before Cye or Jamie could stop him he took a bite of Jamie's Curry.
"Kento," Cye said really worried. Jamie looked really pale all of a sudden as well.
"Hot," Kento yelled out. He grabbed his glass and chugged it, Jamie had rushed from the room and brought a pitcher of water back in.
"Here Kento," Jamie said handing the pitcher of water to him. "Drink all of this water and it should stop the burning." Once Kento finished the pitcher off his mouth had stopped burning.
"Man Jamie," Kento said. "How can you eat food that spicy?"
"I got use to eating spicy foods," Jamie said. "Everyone at the Leafe Temple loved eating this type of food." Everyone sweat dropped.
"Cye," Sekhmet said. "Are you eating yours like ours or is it like Jamie's?"
"Care to find out," Cye said smiling, which made everyone sitting close to him move away.
"No, that's okay," replied Sekhmet. If one didn't know better you would think he was scared of Cye.
"Knowing you Cye," Sage said. "Yours is most likely spicy." It seems Sage was right. Of course it wasn't hard to tell since Kento was curious enough to try Cye's as well. And of course this caused Jamie to rush out of the room and bring a pitcher of water with her again.
"Kento," Rowen said once everything settled down again. "I suggest you keep to your plate from now on." Everyone had sweat drops from the incident.
"But Rowen," Kento pouted. Everyone except Jamie began to laugh. Something was bugging Jamie at the moment.
"Jamie," Kayura said when she noticed the girls spacing out. "Are you alright?" Everyone looked at Jamie wondering what was up.
"Jamie," Rowen said when she didn't answer. Jamie flinched when she heard Rowen.
"I'm sorry," Jamie said. "My mind must've wondered for a few minutes." She turned her attention back to the others. Was I sensing something or was it my imagination, Jamie thought.
"Jamie, are you sure you are all right," Ryo asked when he saw her frowning. "If something is bothering you please let us know." Jamie looked at Ryo and nodded.
"Um," Jamie said, she wasn't too sure how to say it. After a brief pause she just said it, "I thought I was sensing something outside." As if in response to Jamie, Sheba and White Blaze began to grolw.
"I don't think you had imagined it," Sage said. Everyone stood up and rushed out the front door of the mansion.
"It seems it is coming from deeper in the forest," Cale said.
"Jamie," Kayura said, "you and I will stay here to protect Mia and Yuli." Jamie nodded in agreement. To tell the truth she sensed once everyone left the dynasty would appear here.
"Rowen and I will stay here just in case," Sage said. "Even with us not there Ryo can still call on inferno if it's needed."
"Sounds good," Ryo said.
"Don't worry about Ryo," said Sekhmet. "We will protect him. Just make sure nothing happens to Kayura or Jamie."
"Right," Sage said. With that settled Ryo, Cye, Kento, Cale, Dais, and Sekhmet ran after White Blaze, who was leading the way.
"Do you think they will be okay," Mia asked worried.
"I wouldn't worry about them too much," Jamie said. "I think we should be worried about ourselves at the moment." Jamie's Leafe orb began to glow and her sub-armor appeared. Kayura, Rowen, and Sage also called on their sub-armors.
"Looks like we made a good choice," Rowen said as Sheba began to grow.
"Show yourself," Jamie said demanding. Just then, Ayama appeared in front of them.
"How did you know," Ayama asked. "You called your sub-armor before Sheba was growling."
"I could sense you," Jamie said. "You are way to inexperience to hide your armors energy. I would have to ignorant not sense it." That made Ayama mad.
"I'll show you who's inexperienced," Ayama said bitterly. "You can't even use the full power of the Leafe armor." This made Sage and Rowen freeze in place.
"Jamie," said Kayura. "What does she mean?" Everyone looked at Jamie.
"My armors power is too strong to unleash," Jamie said calmly. "It could wipe out an area of 30 miles radius. So I choose to hold back my full power."
"What," everyone shouted. Their mouths dropped open. This even surprised Ayama.
"How'd you find that out," Yuli asked amazed.
"Let's see," Jamie said putting a finger to her check. "It was when Hitoshi and I were training one day. I kind of lost control of my powers and released my armors powers." Jamie looked at everyone. "Hitoshi did something to piss me of enough to destroy half a forest. Luckily we were able to restore it back to the way it was with my armors power."
"How come I never heard of this," Ayama asked amazed at what she heard. No wonder her mistress was so interested in obtaining the Leafe armor.
"Because I threatened to kill him if he told anyone," Jamie said flat out. Rowen sweat dropped, while everyone else laughed nervously. "Anyways, shouldn't you be leaving now?"
"No," Ayama said. "I came to get you." Jamie sweat dropped. "What's that for," She yelled getting more upset by the second. "I'll show you my power." Ayama called on her sword and lunged for Jamie. Jamie sidestepped and Ayama tripped over Jamie's foot and face planted in the dirt. Of course this really pissed off Ayama. "You'll pay for that," she said after spitting dirt out of her mouth.
"I don't see how you are upset at me," Jamie said innocently. "It wasn't my fault you tripped. Not to mention the fact you lack in skills."
"Um Jamie," Rowen said sweat dropping. "Now is not a good time to be provoking Ayama. I know if she's mad she tends to lose focus and her skills start to weaken. Not to mention her power weakens a considerable amount." A chibi Ayama could be seen with arrows hitting her.
"Argh," Ayama growled. "That does it I'm not holding back any more."
"Wait," Jamie said sarcastically. "You were holding back and here I thought this was all you could do. Let's hope you can fight better going full out."
"I think we will leave her to you," Sage said. He could sense how serious Jamie was about this fight. She was going to go all out against Ayama and he had a feeling they'd get in the way.
"Looks like we get to see Jamie in action,' Kayura said. "We can always step in if she's in trouble."
"That won't be necessary," Rowen said. "Compared to Jamie, Ayama doesn't stand a chance."
"Jamie," Ayama said. "Call on your armor."
"I'll pass," Jamie said. At the moment Jamie wouldn't be able to handle her armor. She hasn't completely recovered from last time.
"What," Ayama said. "You are a fool to fight me without your armor."
"Actual," Sage said in Jamie's defense. "No she's not." Everyone except Jamie looked at Sage stunned.
"What do you mean," Mia asked calmly.
"He means I haven't completely recovered," Jamie said. "Using my armor would be too much of a burden on me."
"No way," everyone shouted except Sage.
"Looks like a side effect," Kayura said. Everyone looked at her confused. Well except Jamie and Sage of course. "I'll try to clarify," She said. "Remember when Jamie didn't use her armor right away?"
"Yeah," said Yuli. "Jamie said it was because someone taped into her armors powers and wasn't sure…" He trailed off as everyone realized the reason.
"Jamie's armor hasn't fully recovered," Sage said. "This causes the armor to draw on Jamie's strength to compensate for loss of energy."
"No wonder Jamie didn't want to call on her armor," Mia said, "even though it gives you more protection."
"Even though our armors provide better protection," said Kayura. "They can also hinder us as well."
"Enough," Ayama said. "I don't care. Since you won't call on your armor then I'll make this quick." Ayama gathered her energy in her sword and sent red energy beams towards Jamie. Dust filled the air and surrounded Jamie.
"Jamie," everyone said startled. Dust hung in the air, making it hard to see Jamie.
"Don't waste your breath," Ayama said. "There is no way she could have survived that attack. Not without her armor on." She began to cackle.
Rowen: Thank you for reading Shebajay's story. Unfornantly she wasn't able to thank you herself. (watching Shebajay running after Jamie)
Jamie: Rowen. (out of breath)
Rowen: Jamie I see you finally got away from Shebajay.
Shebajay: I'm bored. (Popping out of nowhere)
Rowen/Jamie: Eek. You scared us.
Shebajay: Anyways until next time.
Jamie: Reviews are good. Let Shebajay know if she is good or bad at her writing. Also she knows her grammer and spelling sucks.
