"My Lord you are not strong enough yet." Pale lavender mirrors watched her master pace relentlessly using up what little strength he had gleaned for their terrors.

"What good is being released from my prison if I can't retaliate on those who put me there?!" The one who wished to be Lord of the Netherworld sunk exhausted into Talpa's old throne in the palace.

"My lord," the child like one crooned and set to moistening his brow with a damp cloth, "I must inform you that Master Talpa has perished in battle. Vengeance upon him would be a fruitless gesture as you would have to follow him into the confines of his eternal hell to reach him."

Her master's eyes went from an ebony to a flame-ridden red, shooting his hand out he smashed the bowl water to the floor, "Why did you not tell me this!?!? You knew the only way I wished to be awakened was if Talpa was there to be destroyed!"

"But my Lord, I assumed you would wish to take you vengeance out on those who stole that right from you."

Flame eyes slowly smoldered back to their black depths as he contemplated this, moving his deep violet hair back off his shoulder, "Would you know who that is?"

A faint almost indiscernible smirk flitted across her face, "I could easily gaze and acquire this information."

"Then be gone! And do not come before me again until you have it" He shouted at her, dismissing her from his presence.

Rage seethed deep in her child-like body, but it did not show on her face as she slowly eradicated herself from her master's presence. Gliding to her ceremonial abode, she knelt in the exact center of her alter. Closing her eyes momentarily, they reopened with a blinding brilliance and a sinister smile.


It took far more strength than the brothers were prepared for to get Hikari and Yukiko into the manor. It was a little after dusk but the light had not completely left the sky yet. When they had arrived back home, Mia had run out and tackled (much to the surprise of everyone) Sekhmet with a hug, rambling about how worried she'd been, that they'd been gone for two weeks. And that Toyama had been riddled with weird murders. It wasn't until she stopped rambling that she noticed two extraordinarily beautiful women with the group. At that moment, Kayura took over explaining exactly what happened while they were gone, so the boys could focus on the newest additions to their family.

Yukiko was far more wary of everyone than Hikari was, but that wasn't saying much as they were both very suspicious. Not surprisingly so, they had both taken to Kale and Dais far more readily than to the Ronins, but one would suspect that was because they were all from the same era. The group filed into the house through the sliding glass door, yawning.

"Ugh, I'm so tired," Kento stretched, "I'm gonna go to bed. Wake when the next millennia comes 'round……or when dinner is ready."

Ryo's brow furrows as offered to hang everyone's jackets up once they had de-armored themselves, "I'm curious as to how we were gone for two weeks??"

Oddly enough Dais spoke up instead of Kayura, "Dimensional shifts come derived from very complicated magic, and it basically is its very own world. Time flows differently in different dimensions."

"Then why are Hikari and Yukiko aging at the same rate you five did?" Cye threw in his two cents in the conversation.

"I'm not so sure they di-, "Kayura looked around their small group looking for the two women who had disappeared.

Further investigating found the two women staring in quiet contemplation at the sliding glass door. The group found it confusing at first; why would they be touching and sliding the glass door. Hikari wore a look of complete wonder, marveling at the fact she could see through the door, but it was still solid. Yukiko on the other hand kept walking back and forth, arms folded in suspicion with the occasional fingertip touching the glass as if daring it to attack.

Grimacing, Anubis walked over to the girls and placed his arms around them steering them away from the door, "It's just a door, girls."

"But what is it??" Hikari's belle like voice asked in a child-like innocence.

Sage quirked a perfect blonde eyebrow and exchanged sideways glance with his fellow Ronins. Kento's mouth was a perfect capital "O" in pure shock. No one took into account that this entire house was four centuries ahead of the girls, and that they'd seen nothing like this ever.

Seeing the others unsure of how to proceed, Rowen spoke up in effort to sooth the girls' nerves, "It's a door. It's made of glass. Glass is a type of stone that you can actually look through if it's heated the right way. And it's very strong. You see, there are lots of things about the manor you won't know what they are; feel free to ask any of us. We'll be more than happy to help you."

This, unfortunately, did not have the desired affect. Yukiko promptly removed her brother's arm and walked over to the blue-haired Ronin, "You think us weak! Simply because there are thing strange and new to us, you think we'll simply fall to pieces and grovel to someone else to aid us in our discomfort of new surroundings?!"

"Uh…well, no-….not exactly….that's not really….."

"Well, think again you blabbering idiot! Hikari and I are far more intelligent than you give us a credit for, and we will figure out this mystery you call a manor, and we'll do it without your help!"

The smallest insult throw "blabbering idiot" started a war between the Ronins and the two women, how dare they call the smartest man any of them had ever met an "idiot"?! Mia came running out of the kitchen only to see the throws of an all out war, Ronins against sister, Warlords protecting sisters, and Kayura standing these unsure of how to diffuse the situation. Mia, of course, was prepared for such a conundrum. It always worked. It certainly would not fail her now.

"DINNER!!!!"


Leave it to Mia to save the day! I know, I know, its not moving quite as fast as it has been. But just wait!...erg, longer than you have been. It'll be more exciting next chapter or at least a little more fun.

Review!!!
