1 Chapter 3
New Meetings
Stepping through the portal she landed on the other side, directly in front of the Ronins house.
"I forgot this is where it leads." Lita said. "Better get into town though, don't want to look strange just standing here, besides I have to find a place to stay."
So she walked into the more urban area of Yokohama. While walking along the streets she noticed a familiar restaurant she happened to pass. It was the Rei Faun family's. There was a "Now Hiring" sign in the window as well. Lita was surprised that an opportunity such as this presented itself. She thought for a moment and knew that if she got a job there that would bring her closer to Kento. So she walked into the place, up to the cash register.
To her surprise she looked over the register and noticed there was a young girl working it. In fact she only looked about twelve. Lita didn't know who else to talk to so she consulted the girl.
"Excuse, me I'm here about a job." Lita said. Not knowing what the girl's response would be.
"Come with me." The girl motioned.
As they were walking to the back of the store Lita couldn't help wonder why there was such a younger girl working there. They stopped when they reached the kitchen. Lita saw an older woman looming over a stove, bustling around and preparing food.
"Ma." Said the girl. "There's someone here about a job."
"Thank you, Rinfi." The woman said taking off her apron. "You may go back to your work now."
Rinfi skipped off and the woman began speaking to Lita about work.
"It has been really hard the past few weeks." She began. " We've been so short on workers we've had to take some matters into our own hands. That was my daughter up there working the register. She's only twelve and we've had to put her to work. Along with her brothers and sister. My oldest son is out right now but he'll be here to help later. So what is it that you do?"
"I cook, I love cooking." Lita started. "But I do whatever you need me to do."
"Can you start right away?"
"Yes, ma'am."
"Alright, go into the back room there is are uniforms in there, you can find one your size and change in the bathroom, on your right."
Lita did as she said. And before she knew it she was working hard in the kitchen. Making food she'd never even made before. Hence making sure to follow the ingredients very carefully.
During her lunch break she decided to sit down and eat something she made for herself. Looking out the window she noticed a familiar group of boys approaching. But she focused mostly on one.
"Kento." She thought. Here's my second chance for first impressions."
She looked back down as he said goodbye to his friends and entered the restaurant. Not after a moment did he enter the building when a tiny girl came running up to him.
"Kento!!" The little one screamed. Giving Kento a huge hug.
"Hey, Chun Fa didya miss me?" Kento smiled.
She just smiled and ran off, half expecting him to chase her or play.
Rinfi then approached him.
"It's about time you showed up." She said playfully. "I've been having to keep Yun and Mei Ryu out of trouble."
"Hey what's that supposed to mean?" Yun chimed in.
"It means you're dumber than she is." Mei Ryu said.
"Well looks like my two younger brothers once again can't manage themselves, how's the dish washing going boys?" Kento said jokingly. Looking at the two boys.
He laughed and looked around noticing Lita sitting at a table. She looked up and there was an awkward stare between the both of them. Until she glanced down again.
"Oh, no did he recognize me?" She wondered.
But she figured not because he just blew it off and walked to the back. Lita turned her head and stared out the window.
"Alright this is my chance to get to know him all over again, but will I blow it like I did last time. I guess I should just be myself and see how it goes. As Lita turned back around and faced toward the Kitchen she noticed Kento was returning from the back wearing a waiter's uniform. She sort of drifted off until she heard her name being called. Noticing it was Kento's mom she rushed to her.
"Lunch break is over this shift you will be waiting tables, okay?"
"Yes, Ma'am." Lita said in response.
So for the rest of the evening Lita took orders and delivered. A bit afraid to approach Kento since she was new and didn't know what to say to him.
Working until 9:00pm was taking its toll on her so by the end of the night she was beat. As she was mopping up she began to get drowsy practically falling over every few minutes but jolting awake every time she caught herself dozing off. Finally she just couldn't keep it up; she closed her eyes for one second. And was unaware of heading for the floor. Until she made contact, waking her up.
Kento, who was wiping tables, heard the loud thud and turned around to see what it was. Noticing the girl that had fallen he rushed over to help her.
"You okay?" He said helping her up.
Lita, felling rather clumsy answered.
"Yeah, I'm." Looking up and straight into Kento's eyes she stuttered a bit. "Fine.okay"
"You must be a new employee huh?" Kento asked.
"Yeah, I just started today. I'm Lita." She said trying to sound as if she never met him.
"Kento." He said. "I guess working all day can wear you out then."
"Oh, he, yeah about that I guess I just was kinda out of it there."
"No problem I get that way sometimes."
"So, um, your family owns the restaurant right?"
"Yeah how'd you know?"
"Your mom told me. It must be nice."
"It is, business is usually good and I get all the food I want for free. We've just be short on help lately."
"Why is that?"
"Wierd things have been going on around city and people have been leaving."
"I'm sure it's nothing the Ronin Warriors couldn't handle."
"How do you know about the Ronin Warriors?" Kento began getting suspicious.
"Well.uh.the've only saved the, uh, city numerous times and are known for their great fighting skills and heroism."
"Oh, yeah, I guess so."
"But I've never seen them before. Seeming as I'm new around here."
Kento looked up at the clock.
"Well time to close up." He said stretching.
Lita was a bit bummed their conversation had ended so quickly. So she gathered up her things and walked out the door. Kento was behind her as he turned around and locked the door.
"See ya tomorrow." He said as he walked away.
"Bye." Lita waved in response. She tuned and began walking down the dark streets, when all of a sudden she was pulled into a dark alley way. She turned and saw bright red eyes glowing before her. She screamed. And the armor clad figure grabbed her and put a hand over her mouth.
"It'd be best for you to shut up, girl. You don't want to wake the whole city do you?"
Lita struggled to get away, being strong enough, she managed to wriggle out of his grasp and run out of the alley. She saw Kento down the street and yelled for help as the figure came up behind her and took her once again.
Kento turned around and looked up. Seeing Lita being held in the air by a familiar face, He ran towards it and came to a halt.
"Dais." he said with contempt in his tone.
"Kento of Hardrock, what a surprise, surely I didn't think of meeting you here?" Dais cackled. As he tightened his grip on Lita.
Kento was a bit confused as to why Dais was acting in such a way. But the luminescence in his eyes said otherwise.
"What do you want with the girl Dais, she has no business with you."
"That's not the way I see it, Ronin. Who wouldn't want the Royal Princess of Jupiter in their captive?"
Kento eyes widened. "What are you talking about?"
"Nothing of your concern." Dais said as he disappeared into the night air with Lita who was stricken with terror.
Kento stood there for a moment not quite sure of what just happened. He was baffled at what Dais meant by the capturing the Princess of Jupiter.
"I don't know what the hell just happened, but I can't just stand here while an innocent person is taken into captive by the dynasty." He thought to himself as he ran home, to inform the guys.
Kento banged the door open and stepped into the room. A frantic and angered look on his face.
"Woah, Kento you okay man?" Ryo asked surprised at his entrance.
"Listen you guys something, I can't really explain, just happened down by the restaurant." Kento exclaimed.
Kento then sat down and told all the Ronins of what had just taken place.
"Wait a minute why would a warlord be committing an act such as kidnapping? They changed their ways after the battle with the dynasty a while ago." Cye questioned.
"But the better question is why did Dais refer to some Royal Princess of Jupiter?" Rowen countered.
"I don't know Dais had this weird tint in his eyes, like he was possessed or something." Kento said.
"That does raise questions." Sage said.
While the Ronins were ironing things out Lita was being taken to a tunnel leading downward underground.
"Where.are.you.taking me." Lita asked Dais as she struggled to be rid of his grip still.
"You should know that already, shouldn't you Princess?" Dais answered in a monotone voice.
"How's that? And how did you know who I was."
"You'll soon discover when I take you too my Empress."
"What?!"
No sooner did Lita say that than did she find her self heading down a dark corridor leading to an underground cave with the ground ankle deep in water and muck.
The pair made their way down the grotto and approached a light near the end. At which the narrow passage opened up into a large cavern, where at the end stood a dark looming figure. Dressed in dark purple robes with crimson red hair and a tall staff, decorated with a large orb upon the end of it, at the power's side. Slowly it turned around with a sinister grin upon its face.
"Empress, I have brought you the Royal Princess of Jupiter, she was visiting the Ronin's dimension. An unlikely place to find a member of the Royal Court." Dais said as he bowed to the looming presence.
"Thank you Dais, you may leave now." It responded in a crisp, cold tone.
"As you wish."
Dais quietly exited the room, the Empress turned to Lita as the grin disappeared from her face.
"So, Princess it seems you were foolish in your choice to leave the safety of your dimension. Yet here you are, and there is no escape."
"Who are you?" Lita asked, knowing only that this was something evil.
Stepping into full light, Lita gasped at the somewhat familiar features of the character.
"You don't me do you? I suppose you wouldn't."
"Then, who are you, and what do you want with me?"
Smiling, the evil replied.
"My name is Ageeba, Empress Ageeba. Mistress of Malevolence. Daughter of the great Queen Beryl, who demolished the moon kingdom during the reign of the Silver Millennium.
And my father.not one of many accomplishments, but he was one to be reckoned with. Talpa, the ruler of the Nether Realm. Being as it may...they're dead. Their mission not ever being carried out, leaves me.
"Mission?"
"Oh, surely you should know young one."
Suddenly Lita was forced to the ground as chains appeared and bound her.
"To alliterate the Sailor Soldiers and Ronin Warriors."
Upon stating her purpose Ageeba stared her captive down.
"To show you what class I have, I won't use you as bait. It would be easier to coral your little friends with them off guard. But if my minion had made a mistake in you capture and you were seen, then I suppose I wouldn't mind a bit of a fight. Goof thing you were in another dimension, it made your capture much easier."
"I don't understand, how did you get a warlord to side with you?" the bound Lita inquired.
"I have more than one, you know. They all serve me. Even the great Anubis. You're familiar with mind control. I not, you soon will be."
Lita gasped. Ageeba slowly walked out of the room and left her laying there in perpetual darkness.
Well I finally finished the 3rd chapter. Sorry that took so long. Well keep an eye out for the next chapter. It might be focused around different relationships. Until next time!
