Back at Mia's place. They had all, but settled in… finding their rooms they used to be in. They were putting their things away and getting ready to call it a night. Sage noticed Rowen had made his way into Ryo's room and had never come out. He wasn't ready for sleep yet. So, he figured he'd pay Cye a visit before he went to bed. After all he never did greet him properly at the docks.

With out knocking he went in and caught Cye just getting out of the shower.

"Sage… I didn't hear you come in." Cye said surprised.

"Sorry, I didn't think you were busy."

"That's alright." Cye said digging in the freshly put away clothes.

"It's nice to be back isn't it?" Cye added.

"Very… even refreshing I guess."

"Feels like a new beginning, in a way." Cye added.

"A fresh start… " That's all Sage said. Making Cye turn around wanting to hear if he was going to say any more but didn't.

"Sage… " Cye found him-self trapped between the dresser and Sage.


"I'm sorry, Cye." Sage said putting his hand on Cye's face.

"For what?" Cye asked trying to take away his hand.

"Not greeting you properly."

"That's okay, Sage. I understand." Cye said trying to move out of the way.

"You haven't changed have you." Sage stated as he ran a hand up Cye's back.

"Neither have you. It seems." Cye said still wriggling.

"What do you mean by that?" Sage asked giving Cye a kiss on the neck.

"As forward as usual." Cye whispered.

"Is there… some thing wrong with that?" He asked still tasting his neck.

"… no." Cye whispered again only starting to rest against the blonde's chest.

"I've missed you… " Sage said nudging Cye's ear and gave him a kiss there as well.

"Sage… " Cye said starting to give in.

"Hmm?" Sage said exploring the fair warrior with his hands.

"Wha… what are you doing?" He managed to say.

"Let me show you." Sage whispered as he finally found Cye's lips. Letting his hand rest in the half dried auburn hair. Pressing him-self as close as he could. He could feel Cye's hands had rested at his hips and was letting him do this. He broke his kiss to continue down to his collarbone. He then felt a gust of breeze from the door being flung open. Attached to it was Rowen making himself heard quite easily.

"Hey Cye! Oh… um, didn't know you were busy. I'll come back later." Rowen said turning to leave, but stopped in the middle of it.
"But, since I'm already here… I was just in Ryo's room." He said pointing down the hall.
"We were trying to figure out where to find Kento. You know we thought he used to keep a journal or some thing of the sorts… right?"
"I'm sorry, Sage." Rowen added as he watched Sage leave the room.
"Well, anyway… we figured that may-be you remembered where he kept it or even if he still had it around. We might be able to find out where the places he might go from it. You know… like places he wished he'd go or visit." Rowen finished and it suddenly seemed quiet while he was waiting for a response.

"What makes you think he'd leave it here after he left?" Cye said starting to get dressed.

"Well, he didn't take much with him… we thought may-be he would have forgot it."

"Have you looked in any of the boxes that Mia put in the basement?"

"No, we thought we'd ask you first."

"Can it wait 'till morning?"

"Well, the faster we get clues the faster we'll find Kento."

"All right… I'll be down in a few minutes to help."

Down in the kitchen Ryo was making a sandwich.

"That looks good." Sage said opening the bread again.

"Didn't hear you come down. Did Rowen find Cye? I know he went looking for him."

"He found him. Doesn't he ever sleep any more?"

"Yes, I sleep. I'm just excited that's all. You're just upset, because I interrupted your seduction of Cye." Rowen said opening the fridge.

"Well, you could have tried knocking and I wasn't seducing him… "

"Sure, whatever Sage. Anyway… he said he'd be right down." Rowen said getting out a jar of pickles.

"So he does remember he had a journal?" Ryo asked.

"He thinks it might be in those boxes Mia put away. Who put this cover on so tight!" Rowen said struggling with the top of the jar.

"Nobodies even opened it. May-be you need to strengthen your wrists." Sage added.

"My wrists… are just fine." Rowen muttered.

"Try pounding it on the sides." Ryo suggested.

"You could try running it under some water." Sage added taking a bite.

"I know how to open it. I just wondered who did this."

"Nobodies touched it, Rowen." Ryo added.

"Give it here." Cye said from no where grabbing it from him.

"You think you can better." Rowen stated as the cover popped off.

"Here." He said giving it back.


"I got it started for you."
