The night air was cold as it drifted into the room through the open window

The night air was cold as it drifted into the room through the open window. Sage shivered as he slipped out of his shirt. His mind wandered back to the look on Cye's face when Brandon mentioned the whole immortality thing. I wonder what Cye was thinking? From the bed Rowan watched as his lover stared off into space while undressing himself. He couldn't help but smirk remembering how they came together as a couple. Sage glanced over his shoulder to see Rowan watching him. "What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing just how everything seems to work out perfectly." Sage smiled as he crawled towards Rowan planting a soft kiss on his mouth.

"Like what?"

"Well we made some amazing friends and two of them decided to turn our secrets against us so that we would admit we liked each other." Rowan kissed Sage's shoulder. "Then we left them behind thinking we would never see them again. Yet somehow they manage to cross our paths again and now Cye is marrying the woman of his dreams. Also we have our best friends back." Sage nodded. "But the best thing of all is that I have you by my side forever." Sage blushed as Rowan rubbed his lover's thigh.

"Rowan don't someone might hear us." Rowan giggled.

"Somehow I doubt that." Rowan leaned over his lover and kissed his mouth greedily. Sage gasped as Rowan quickly over powered him.

This is a bad idea. Sage tried to wriggle free but this made Rowan moan as he rubbed against his erection. Rowan quickly moved to Sage's neck causing his blonde angel to squirm more as he nipped and sucked at his throat. Sage soon became lost in Rowan's soft caresses as he slowly undressed him. Rowan's mouth began to travel lower causing Sage to moan louder and more desperately.

Two floors above the Ronins' room Valerie pushed her pillow deeper into her head. I am not listening to this all night. I refuse! Valerie quickly sat up and opened her nightstand drawer. She grabbed the candles and black bag from it and walked to the middle of her bedroom floor. She opened the bag and removed a container of sand that she quickly poured on the floor making strange symbols to surround her. She placed the candles forming a triangle pointing down. She sat in the middle of the candles and closed her eyes focusing all her energy into her hands. "I call on thee my ancestors of the past. Allow me the ability to bring peace to this night. Silence what is not wished to be heard by me. Let those who wish to hear be those souls alone to hear. By gods of my ancestors hear me and answer." Valerie opened her eyes and watched the candles' flames blow out and silence take over the night. She sighed as she returned to her bed thanking the gods that it worked. Now I can get some sleep. Unlike other people I know.

Sage gasped as Rowan's mouth encompassed the head of his length making him groan loudly. "Rowan….we are going to wake up the entire house." Rowan continued to suck on Sage somehow knowing that no one could hear them. Sage began to twitch as he felt himself coming close to climaxing. Rowan stopped to crawl up and kiss his lover while reaching for his bag next to bed. Smoothly he grabbed the small tube of lubrication that he placed in his bag before they left. Popping open the lid he applied the warm liquid to his fingers. He then slide his fingers into the tight cavern of his lover causing Sage to become louder. Rowan was always amazed at how tight Sage was even after all these years. Yet it never ceased to turn him on. "Rowan, please!" Rowan couldn't help but smirk knowing he couldn't deny his blonde angel anything. Removing his fingers he replaced them quickly by thrusting into Sage.

Rowan almost came as soon as he entered Sage's warm cavern. "Sage…" Rowan began to pick up the pace as Sage moaned loudly below him. The two soon became lost in the movements of their bodies. "Sage….SAGE!" Rowan felt Sage squeeze him as he came.

"ROWAN!" The two collapsed onto the bed glimmering in the moonlight from the sweat on their bodies. Rowan glanced at the clock as he removed himself from Sage seeing that it was almost four in the morning.

Well it's going to be a long day tomorrow but it was worth it. Rowan drifted into sleep as he held Sage close to him. Daylight came sooner then Ronins had expected it too they all arose to the sounds of talking and clanging. Following the noise they soon ended up in the kitchen to see the seven gathered around the counter talking randomly. Valerie glanced at Sage and Rowan and smiled.

"Sleep well?" Sage noticed a look in her eyes and blushed as he buried his face into Rowan's shoulder.

"I told you we would wake up the entire house." Rowan shrugged as the earth warrior laughed at her friend's embarrassment. Cye glanced at Nikki who was in a deep conversation with Kristena who was busy flipping pancakes. Nikki felt his gazed and turned and smiled at him.

"Hey sleepy." Cye walked over to Nikki with a very serious look on his face. "Cye?"

"We need to talk. Now." Kristena shrugged as Nikki gave her a confused look as she followed Cye outside.

"What's wrong Cye?" Nikki placed her hand on his arm which was pilled away almost immediately. Nikki was baffled with his attitude.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Cye turned to face Nikki.

"Tell you what?" Nikki was starting to get mad.

"That I would become immortal after I slept with you?" Cye's voice was beginning to raise.

"I did and you said you didn't care. Remember?" Nikki was fuming now. I told you the first night we were together and you just magically forgot!

Nikki? What's going on? Nikki cringed forgetting that Kendra could hear her.

Not now Kendra! Nikki stared at Cye waiting for an answer. "Well?"

"I have no idea what you are talking about? How could you do this to me? Nikki had enough.

"KRISTY!!" Cye flinched as Nikki's voice boomed. Kristy burst through the sliding door.

"What's wrong?" Kristy glanced between the two water warriors.

"Will you do me a huge favor?" Kristy nodded slowly. "Will you please show this forgetful fool here that I did tell him exactly what he's asking me right now? And if anyone needs me I will be out for a swim!" Kristy stepped back as Nikki stormed off leaving Cye alone with the fire princess.

"What did you do?" Cye shook his head.

"Last night Brandon told us about how you can turn a mortal into an immortal." Kristy began to understand. "Nikki says she told me but I don't remember her telling me." Kristy nodded.

"Okay, then I guess I am going to make you remember." Kristy placed her hand on Cye's shoulder and began to focus. Cye closed his eyes as he felt a strange feeling overcome him. Then as if a movie the event were he took Nikki to his room and her telling him that if they continued he would gain incredible power. Now he understood what she meant by incredible power she meant immortality. Kristy removed her hand and looked at Cye.

"Sun what have I done?"

"Pissed off the most powerful water warrior of all the realms." Kristy patted Cye's shoulder and walked back inside. Cye sat on a chair on the porch as he thought through how angry he was at her.

Nikki what have I done? I jumped to conclusions and just blamed you for something that you already warned me about. Gods, I am an idiot! Cye sighed.

"You fucked up didn't ya." Cye looked up to see Kendra leaning in the doorway. Cye nodded. "Well she's gonna be gone all day so my suggestion is that you plan something for when she gets back."

"There is nothing I could do to make her forgive me." Kendra shook her head and walked over to Cye.

"Cye." She squatted down and placed her hands on his knees. "If I know my sister as well as I do she will be all cooled off by the time she gets home. She loves you very much and I know you love her just as much back. Things will be fine couples fight and then they make up. It's kind of how relationships work so relax and start thinking." She patted his knees and got up to leave.

"Kendra." Kendra looked over her shoulder at Cye. "Thanks."

"Anytime brother." Cye smiled as Kendra walked away. The day passed by slowly Cye managed to recruit the help of Jean and Valerie for Nikki's apology dinner. He had a small pasta meal ready along with lilies for when she got home. Valerie made sure everyone was out of the house including her father and brother. Jean helped him by calling him when she saw Nikki walking back to the house. Nikki had cooled down considerably and wanted to talk to Cye.

Maybe he remembers now and we can talk calmly. Nikki opened the door and heard no noise. That's weird usually someone's always here. She walked farther into the house. "Hello?"

"In here Nikki." Nikki walked towards the dining room and gasped as she saw the beautiful table in front of her. "Nikki?" Nikki looked up to see Cye standing at the opposite end of the room. "Nikki, I am so sorry. I completely forgot what you said. Can you please forgive me?" Nikki smiled as she walked over to Cye and kissed him like she hadn't seen him in years.

"Cye did you honestly think that I could stay mad at you?" Cye smirked. "And this is just…." Nikki trailed off as she hugged Cye closer to her. "Thank you." Cye smiled knowing that things were back to normal.

The three weeks passed by quickly for the Ronins and soon they were saying good-bye to everyone at the airport. Nikki and Cye were probably having the hardest time saying good-bye. Jacob leaned on his best friend. "Well its not forever at least." Jean nodded.

"I remember when we first said good-by thinking it was forever. I never felt so crushed before." Jacob nudged her.

"Liar. I can think of another time." Jean looked up at her best friend and smiled.

"Yeah, but somehow I know he's happy for me and that he wouldn't want it any other way." Kento walked up to Jean giving her one last kiss and hug before he left. "See you in a few months." Kento nodded.

"Wouldn't miss it babe." Jean raised an eyebrow.

"Babe?"

"Yeah I like it." Jean smiled and shook her head.

"Didn't think I was the 'babe' type." Jacob smirked.

"No you're the Kento type." Jacob quickly jumped back as Jean swung to hit him.

"He has a point." Jean looked at Kento in disbelief.

"Don't side with the best friend." Jean smiled as she hugged Kento again. "You better go before you miss the flight." Kento nodded and gave her a quick kiss before he turned to follow the others through the security gates.

"Bye Nikki." Cye gave her one last kiss before he turned to leave.

"Bye." Nikki watched him leave and felt like she was going to cry.

"Nik?" Nikki turned to see her sister looking at her with concern written all over her face.

"I'm okay just wishing this time would have lasted longer." Kendra nodded understanding what her sister meant.

"Well look at it this way. You two only have two more years till you never have to part again." Kendra lowered her voice slightly. "And for us that's a walk in the park." Nikki couldn't help but laugh knowing her sister was correct.
