Dr. Strasser watched his students carefully as they took the third test of the semester. He knew this was the hardest one and that some would easily fail it, but he knew one would pass with flying colors. He name was Kristy Malone; she wasn't like is other Principle of Law students. She looked like a punk and her purple streaked hair didn't help her look either. Even though she had the rebel look down Kristy was amazingly smart and was one of the best students here at Harvard University. It had been thirty minutes since the test started and it was no surprise that Kristy was the first out of her seat. "Done Miss Malone."
"Yup." Dr. Strasser took her test and placed it in his briefcase.
"Good. I need to speak with you later. Meet in my office around three today." Kristy gave her teacher a confused look.
"Okay." Dr. Strasser smiled and nodded to Kristy who finally turned and walked out of the class room. That was weird.
While Kristy pondered her teachers request Kristena and Kendra were usher into the dean's office. They were two of the three that attended Grand Valley State University of the young ones. "Miss Malone, Miss Lili." Dean Rogers nodded to both girls. "I have asked you here because you two are the top of your class in business and photography. I know you want to go into fashion design Miss Malone and you want to open your own photography studio Miss Lili. So I am offering you twp an internship in Sendai."
"That's great, but where exactly is Sendai?" Kristena couldn't believe this was happening.
"Japan." Dean Rogers almost laughed when he saw the girl's reactions.
"Japan?" Kendra was surprised she didn't fall out of the chair.
"Yes. Now you don't need give me an answer now, but I need one before midterms. So three weeks from now. Good day ladies." Kristena and Kendra quickly stood up and left the dean's office in shock. Valerie Smith looked up at her cousins as the left the dean's office.
"Not good?"
"No, it's wonderful news but…" Kristena was surprised that she couldn't find the right words.
"Ken help her out please."
"Internship in Japan next semester." Valerie looked from one cousin to the other.
"Seriously?" Kendra and Kristena nodded. "That's great!"
"Yeah except one problem."
"What could be a problem Ken?"
"Ancient Warrior is anyone home? Think about it." Valerie eyes opened wide.
"The realm." Kristena nodded. "Well maybe we can handle it without you there." Valerie knew how important their mortal lives were, but sometimes the immortal realm got in the way of their "normal" lives. Kendra gave Valerie a look that said yeah right. "Well I tried okay." Kristena smiled at her younger cousin.
"Thanks anyway Val. It's too bad we all won't be there cause it would make it so much easier. Anyway I have to get to my humanities class, see you two later."
"Later Tina. Maybe I should go for a run to clear my head."
"Again?"
"What's wrong with running Val?"
"Nothing it's just that you do it a lot." Kendra shrugged.
"I am the warrior of speed remember." Valerie nodded as Kendra jogged away from her.
"I wonder." Valerie pulled out her cell phone flipping it open and scrolling through the numbers. Finding what she was looking for she pressed talk and waited for someone to answer. "Jean? Great! Hey we have a huge problem. Ken and Tina have an offer to go to Japan, but…"Valerie was cut off by Jean. Listening carefully to her cousin her eyes widen. "You think we could? Okay Jean, but if you're wrong. Okay, Okay. I'll talk to you later." Closing her phone she walked over to the business building and into the dean's office.
Meanwhile…
Dr. Yamaguya looked at the email he received from his old friend Dr. Strasser. He had mentioned how he had a bright student that definitely set new rules to the appearance of honor students. He wanted her to come to Toyoma to learn how the culture worked in Japan, but she was hesitant and Dr. Strasser was sure it was because she was so close to her six family members. They were all close in age and managed to get along with each other. A knock at the door interrupted Dr. Yamaguya's thoughts. "Enter." A young secretary entered the room handing the dean a folder. "Thank you Mrs. Hing." The dean read the phone numbers quickly and decided to call the schools immediately.
Contacting each individual school was harder then he thought but he finally managed to get a hold of all the deans and convinced them to talk to the others only to find that the six had taken it into their own hands. Now to find a place for the young artists to live. She is running the gallery so I want her off campus to enjoy the scenery of Japan. Maybe. Picking up is phone he called Dr. Mia Sanada.
"Hello?"
"Mrs. Sanada good you're there."
"Dr. Yamaguya how can I help you?"
"I have a young art student who will be running a display and I don't want her on campus all the time so I was wondering if you had room in that huge house of yours?"
"I would love to, but I need to talk to Ryo about it first, but I'm sure it will be fine."
"Good. I will speak to you later Mia. Take care."
"You too." Mia hung up the phone and picked up her briefcase. She was about to walk out the door when the dean called. The idea of having another person in the house excited Mia and she couldn't wait to ask Ryo.
Driving home was boring as ever, but Mia couldn't wait to tell the guys the good news. Granted Rowan and Sage finally married and moved out but they always managed to come every Friday to eat with them. Opening the front door Mia was greeted by the smell of Cye's wonderful cooking. "Hey Mia."
"Hey Rowan." Mia hugged her friend as she set her briefcase down. "Is dinner ready?"
"Yeah. Come on before they eat it all." Rowan led Mia into the dining room to see the other four Ronins eating and talking amongst themselves. Kento looked up and smiled.
"Hey Mia." Mia smiled as she was greeted by all her friends and her husband.
"Hey guys. I've got some awesome news."
"What is it Mia?" Ryo leaned forward to listen to his wife.
"Dr. Yamaguya called me to ask if I would take in a foreign exchange student. She'll be running the art gallery on campus. He doesn't want her there all the time and figured since we have such a big home that we could let her stay here." Mia looked at the group waiting for an answer. "Well?"
"That's great Mia. I think she should stay here." Mia was glad her husband agreed and it didn't appear that the others didn't like the idea.
"I think it's kind of weird though." Mia looked at Sage in confusion. "My parents were asked to house two interns for next semester."
"That is strange, but I'll inform Dr. Yamaguya tomorrow about our decision. I'm sure he'll be thrilled."
