Change of Plans
Chapter Five
It was early in the morning around four only an hour after everyone had went to bed. Lita woke up from her bed she saw Sage sleeping on the floor she smiled as she remembered how she was so nervous in sleeping in the same bed with him. He had offered her the bed and he would take the floor, at first she didn't like the idea of him sleeping on the cold floor but he insisted he would be fine. She stood up from bed and went down stairs she went in the kitchen and took out a spoon and went to the freezer where she got out chocolate ice cream. She took a full spoon of ice-cream and kept the ice cream back as she put the spoon in her mouth. She dropped the spoon in the sink and went back up-stairs. At the stairs she nearly screamed when she bumped into someone in the dark. She looked up at a grinning Ken, she smacked him playfully on his arm. "That's not funny Kennie." She whispered.
"It was to me." He grinned even more. "What are you doing up?"
"I just wanted a spoon of ice-cream. What about you?"
"Couldn't sleep."
"Well I hope you can soon." She kissed him on the cheek and continued to her room. "Good-night Kennie."
"Night Li."
Lita quietly went into her room and quietly went to her bed not wanting to wake Sage up. She climbed up on her bed and into her covers. "Was the ice-cream ok?" Lita sat up in bed and looked at Sage who was in the same position on the floor. "Sage?"
"Yea." He whispered. "Never mind go to sleep."
Lita smiled and laid back down and fell asleep.
^*^*^*^*^*^
Days had past and everyone seem to be getting along. The ronins and Mia had got the chance in getting to know Ken and became very good friends with him and vice versa. It was morning and Lita woke up to a beautiful day. She shivered when she felt someone looking at her. She quickly turn around to find Sage was standing by the door looking at her, he smiled a charming smile. They just looked at each other none moving towards or away. Lita noticed he only wore PJ pants and his broad chest was exposed to her she blushed at the though of touching it. She looked at her hands that were placed on the bed, missing the grin that shown on Sage's face. He tilted his head slightly to the side and asked. "What are you thinking about?"
That question sunk in Lita's mind and she blushed even more. She was thankful her face was down. She cleared her throat and tried to stop blushing. She succeeded, but she was still slightly red. "Nothing." She blurted out. She mentally slapped herself for being so stupid. "What are you thinking?"
Sage looked at her with an unreadable look. "You're skinny."
"What!?" Lita asked incredulously as she lifted an eyebrow.
"I said you're skinny." Sage repeated himself. "You have that big bed, that's unfair. Don't you think?"
"Um----but you----I guess." Lita was totally lost at words. This never happened to her before. She watched as he walked closer to her. Sage stopped when he was bent slightly and his face only an inch away from hers. "Then tonight," He brushed part of her bangs away from her eyes. "We share the bed." He whispered
Lita could have sworn she was red as she looked at him. "Um----ok." That's what she said. She didn't know what to say. She watched as Sage smiled a little.
Sage got dressed before he went outside to join the guys to go out he kissed Lita on the lips but she moved before he could kiss her and he ended up kissing her cheek instead. Lita giggled and Sage smiled at the joke. She placed her hands on his cheeks and kissed him. They both smiled in the kiss and as it ended Sage kissed her forehead. "See you later."
"Bye sage." She watched as he left the room. She sighed and got dressed and join Mia downstairs. "So we are the only ones here." She said. "In this big house---all alone." She sat on the couch besides Mia who looked like she was about to laugh and sighed. "Yea, well that's what happens when the guys decides to go out and not invite us." She laughed.
"I don't find that funny." Lita plainly said as she looked at Mia and lifted an eyebrow up.
"Get use to it girl. You're dating one of the guys now?" Mia spoke as she stood up. "Well, since everyone's out let's go to the Paradise."
"Where?" Lita asked forgetting what The Paradise was. Her eyes widen a little as she remembered. "Oh, ok." She stood up and stretched her bare legs. She wore short beige shorts and a forest green shirt that hugged her upper body. She wore her hair in the regular hair style. Mia was wearing blue jeans and a white thank top. Her hair was in a long braid.
As they moved out the house and in to Mia's car Lita asked. "Hey Mia, I was meaning to ask you. Who's Yuli?"
Mia backed out of the drive way and placed the car in drive. "Yuli is a very good friend of ours. He's seven years old but he's very determine when he sets his mind on something. He also helped to destroy Talpa."
"Wow, and he's 7?"
"Yea."
"I would like to met him. Where is he?" Lita said as she smiled.
"His with his parents he'll come to visit soon." For some reason she started laughing. "He got a lot to explain to Ryo though, when he comes."
"Why?"
"See Ryo has this pet tiger called White Blaze he adores him, but when Yuli decided to go home for a while White Blaze followed. Ryo was kind of upset because of that." Mia explained.
Lita giggled. "I would be too."
Few minutes later Mia pulled up in a parking lot and both girls got out and walked in the Paradise center. They saw Mira on the counter. They walked over to her. "Hey, girl!" Mia spoke as she and Lita sat on the stools on Mira's left side. Mira smiled at her friends. " Hey, Mia. " She looked at Lita and smiled. "Nice to see you again Lita."
"Like wise." Lita responded and returned the smile.
"You guys just missed the guys. They came to say hi and a guy was with them too."
"They went through here?" Mia asked.
"Yea! I think the guys name was Ken, damn he's cute." Mira exclaimed. At that Lita couldn't help but laugh. She knew Ken was handsome and a very nice catch to have but hearing people talk about him like that was kind of funny. "What's wrong? Did I say something funny?" Mira asked confused.
"Oh no." Lita said as she tried to subdue her laughter. She looked at Mira. "It's just that Ken is my brother."
"Really!!!" Mira asked stunned. "Hey do you happen to know if his taken?"
"Don't even go there Mira." Mia sighed a little sad. "His taken and his girlfriend is very beautiful."
"Oh man! I swear all the guys are taken. Sage is probably taken too." Mira whined.
Lita laughed nervously as redness spread through her cheeks. "Yup."
"What!? Who's the girl!" Mira asked incredulous.
"Guilty." She smiled a little.
"Aw you suck."
"Thank you."
All three girls laughed. "I'll just have to go for Cye then or maybe Ryo. What do you think?" She asked the girls.
"Don't touch Ryo!" Mia yelled. She looked at her friends who blinked a couple of times and then grinned at her. She blushed terribly. "Does someone have a crush on someone we know?" Mira sang.
"Shut up, I don't have a crush on Ryo."
Lita grew a sly grin. "Who said we mean Ryo?" She asked and watched as Mia's face grew red like a tomato. She and Mira laughed.
"Face it girl you're caught. I'll just have to get Cye." Mira spoke after she stopped laughing. "Come to think of it I think he's really cute!"
"Go for it!" Lita said.
"I think I will." She looked at her watch and sighed. "Break times over."
^*^*^*^*^*^
In a dark room a man with black hair and blue eyes, looked out a window and looked over a dead city. Buildings and roads were all devastated. No single person could be seen in sight. He frowned. "So now that we have Jupiter, what do we do with it?" He asked as he turned around to see a man completely dressed in black. His black hair fell to his shoulders like silk and his red eyes gleamed with evil. He turned to look at the man by the window. "What else would you do with a conquered planet Takiru? You build an empire." The man sneered.
Takiru glared at the man. "Well, how do I do that when I have no slaves!!!" He yelled.
"I advise you to keep your cool brother." The man warned. "You have a brain figure it out. You did get the princess right?"
"No, my men are having difficulties getting her."
"We had a deal Takiru. I conquer all the planets for you and you get me the princess." He looked at Takiru. "So far you're failing and you're pissing me off."
"I'll get her, have my fun and hand her over to you." He waved off the man. "You'll have your precious princess in one piece as planed nothing will change that."
"For your sake it better had not." The man started to vanish. "I'll be back."
When he was gown Keiji appeared in front of Takiru. "Master, the prince is with the princess and she seems to be surrounded by warriors."
"Hmph, I see." Takiru whispered. "Well, my brother had decided to give a surprise visit. His wondering why the princess isn't in his hands."
"What shall we do?"
"Sumio!" Takiru yelled.
"Yes." A quiet but evil voice was heard. A young woman stepped out from the darkness and into the light. She bowed and stood by Keiji. A sad aura yet hateful one surrounded her.
"I want you to help Keiji get the princess." He paused as he looked at her. "I want the princess in my grasp. I'm changing the plans. You'll get the princess to me, she hold great amount of power I can use. Even he cannot power over me."
"Yes." They both answered and bowed.
"You may leave." As soon as he said that they both vanished. "Jokitsu, you will have her. She's mine!!!" He laughed.
^*^*^*^*^*^
Keiji and Sumio walked down the dark hall in silence. Once in a while Keiji would look down at her sympathetically. Ever since Yeshio was killed she no longer was the girl he knew. Yes Yeshio and Sumio were going out. "You know Yeshio wouldn't want you to be moping around like this."
"I know, " She sighed. "But everything is different now, now that he's gone."
"Look at it this way, you'll get your revenge soon. The person who killed him will surely be there with the princess."
"You're right." She smiled. "Where are we going now?"
"Down to earth. We have to give a surprise visit to the senshi." He grinned evilly at what he had in mind. "You ready?"
"Yea," She answered.
They both disappeared.
