"So...who's going to go in first?" asked Ryo.
"Well, since you were the one who thought up the idea, I think it would be best if
you did," stated Rowan.
"Good idea," said Kento.
"But guys!" said Ryo.
"But what? It was you're idea, just like Rowan said," explained Cye.
Ryo sighed. "I guess I have to then."
Ryo walked up the stairs and ringed the doorbell to Sage's apartment. After two
seconds he turned around.
"Well guys, I guess he's not in today! Hahaha! I'd better be getting home now!"
"And where do you think you're going?" asked Cye.
"Ugh!" sighed Ryo.
Kento went up to the doorbell and rang it again for Ryo.
"There, now you do the talking," he said.
The sound of Sage's voice came over the intercom from his room.
"Yesssssssss?" he asked in a suave voice.
"Um, excuse me? But is Sage Date in this evening?" asked Ryo.
Rowan hit Ryo on the back of the head as Sage replied.
"Yes, why yes he is. Who wants to know?"
"He has four dates tonight."
"Oh yeah! Oops, I guess I scheduled them all together at the same time! Silly me!
Oh well! More fun for us, right ladies?"
The four Ronins groaned.
"Sounds like you're excited down there. Why don't you all come up and join me
for a little fun and games, eh?"
The four Ronins slowly, but surely ascended the stairs up to Sage's room. Ryo
knocked on the door when they arrived. Sage opened it with a surprised look on his face.
"Hey...you all...?" he asked.
"Uh oh," thought Cye. "Does he know our secret?"
"Oh no!" though Kento. "He must know it's us!"
"The gig is up guys," Rowan thought. "Why did Ryo even think of this anyway?"
"Why the hell am I female?!" thought Ryo. "If it wasn't for this freak accident, I
wouldn't be here now!"
"You all...? Do you all know each other?" asked Sage.
"Uh...um, yeah! Yes, we actually do!" the four Ronins said on the
spur-of-the-moment, while laughing nervously.
"Well why didn't any of you tell me? Come in! Come in and make yourselves
comfortable!"
The guys walked into the main room and sat down; Rowan and Cye sat on a sofa,
Ryo sat in a rocking chair and Kento placed himself into a recliner. Sage moved to the
center of the room and basked in his womanizing glory. He then sat between Rowan and
Cye on the sofa.
"So what do you ladies want to do tonight?" he asked.
"Sleeping sounds good," said Kento.
"Together? Oh, you're quick!" said Sage.
Kento, once realizing what Sage meant, gulped and a cold sweat appeared on his
forehead.
"If you wouldn't mind, I'd like to cook us up a little something," stated Cye.
"Oh that sounds good, cookin' up a little lovin'."
Cye began to feel nauseous.
"I love to read," mentioned Rowan.
"Snuggling up with a good book is fun, but sharing the snuggle with another is
much more enjoyable."
Rowan's mouth became dry and he got a bad taste in his mouth.
"I like to lie in front of the fireplace and warm up," said Ryo.
"I wouldn't mind lying you down and warming you up," said Sage.
Ryo thought to himself, "Oh god! How far is Sage going to go?!"
Each Ronin rose from his position in the living room and commenced to do the
task that each mentioned. Sage got up and followed Cye into the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Cye made himself right at home. He took out all the necessary
ingredients and utensils to make a late-night snack. He began to mix everything together
from memory, for he had prepared this dish many times.
Sage stood behind him, silently, unnoticed, until he opened his mouth and spoke.
"Whacha making, sugarbeet?"
"AHH! Oh, Sage, it's just you."
"Who'd you think it was? It's only your love master."
"Ugh...I'm making a little dessert that I like to fix myself late at night."
"Really? Wow..." his voice trailed off.
A few minutes later, Sage strategically placed his hands on Cye's shoulders. Cye
didn't notice because he was so wrapped up in his work. A moment later, Sage slowly
dropped his head down a bit and smelled "Serena's" hair.
"Ahh, smells like the ocean breeze," he though.
The next thing Cye knew, he was being kissed on the neck by his friend Sage.
Once the shock had passed and reality hit him, he blew up at Sage.
"Wha-? AHHHHHHHH! Sage? What are you doing?!"
"It's just that you smelled so good. I couldn't help myself."
"Go!" Cye pointed out of the kitchen. "Please, I need to concentrate when I make
my meals!"
Sage scuffled out of the kitchen. "Geez, usually the women can't keep their hands
off of me. I wonder what's wrong? Do I smell? I did take a shower an hour ago. Or do
they not want me to think that they're easy? I'm worried. I hope I haven't lost my sexy
edge."
He sighed and plopped down in an easy chair next to Rowan, who was completely
rapt in his novel. Sage took this as an opportunity to put the moves on "Regina". He
leaned over and stared into her eyes, which were obviously focused in on the novel.
"She must be speechless from my extreme good looks. She wants me bad. I can
feel it." Sage pointed to the thick novel. "What are you reading, babe?"
Rowan looked up from his book. "Don't call me babe. It's Les Miserables."
"Oh. Sounds depressing. Want me to cheer you up? Let's forget being miserable
and have some fun. What do you say?" Sage stood up and moved behind Rowan. He put
his hands on Rowan's shoulders and began to massage him. "Doesn't that feel better? I'll
help you loosen up."
Rowan began to worry as dozens of thoughts raced though his head. "How far is
Sage going to go? What's he thinking? What does he expect me to do? What does he
want me to do? What's he going to do next? What's he doing to me now?!"
Sage leaned over the top of the chair and kissed Rowan on the neck.
"Just ignore it and he'll go away eventually, right?" Rowan thought. "It's just a
kiss and it's just on my neck. No harm done, right? At least it's not on my lips or anything.
If he tries that, he's done for. I'll grab him by the shoulders and flip him over! That'll teach
him to hit on Regina! Er...I mean me." A moment later, the thought sunk into Rowan's
mind. "Sage...kissed me...on my neck..." He shuddered violently.
"Are you cold, baby?" asked Sage. "I could help you get warmer." He bent over
and whispered into Rowan's ear. "Want to know why they call these 'easy' chairs?"
Rowan jumped up out of his seat and spun around, locking eyes with Sage. "What
did you just say?"
"You know what I said."
"I am not a person of those morals!" Rowan picked up a pillow and threw it at
Sage. "How dare you think that I would do that with you! And we don't really know each
other! Let me read my book in peace!" Rowan sat back down and began to read his book
again.
Sage walked away and stood in a corner, thinking to himself. "What's going on
tonight? What's wrong with the ladies? Did I pick up high school girls? Are they virgins?
If they are, why wouldn't they want to loose it with a sexy guy like me? I don't get it."
Turning around and scanning the room, Sage spotted Ryo sitting by the fireplace.
He strutted over and sat next to Ryo, who was playing with "her" fake pearl necklace.
"I can't believe that I was so broke that I could only by fake pearls..." Ryo
mumbled under his breath. "...How pathetic am I, really? First I turn into a girl, then I get
hit on by Sage, now I can't afford decent jewelery!"
"What's wrong, babe?" Sage asked as he slowly put his arm around Ryo. "How
can you have a long face when you're sitting next to the most eligible bachelor in the
world?"
Ryo slowly turned to face Sage. He looked Sage straight in the eyes and gave him
a look that could kill. He took in a deep breath and let everything out. "I'M BROKE,
YOU IDIOT!"
"Well, honey, there's nothing wrong with that. When we get married, we'll be
poor together. We'll live on a farm and raise cattle and plant corn. We'll have twelve
children and they'll all be named John."
"Huh?!" Ryo jerked away from Sage's arms. "What the hell are you talking
about?"
"Our future together," Sage replied with a picture perfect smile. "And about those
twelve children...maybe we should start now." Sage began to crawl toward Ryo like he
was doing some kind of mating dance.
Ryo jumped up and reached for his purse on the rocking chair. He took it and
swung it around so that it hit Sage squarely in the jaw. "Hentai!" he screamed. "Don't you
even try to do that again, or I'll put rocks in my purse!"
Sage, wounded physically and emotionally, crawled away and muttered to himself,
"Geez, I would've swore that there were already rocks in it! Damn, that hurt!"
Sage looked at the clock. It was already 11:50. The tension was on. He had only
one girl left to put the moves on. Unfortunately for him, Katelyn was sleeping soundly and
snoring loudly on the recliner. "Well, I guess it's now or never." He quietly creeped over
to where Kento lay sleeping and stradled the chair. "I'm sorry I have to do this while
you're sleeping, Miss Katelyn, but I don't want to wake you up from your beauty sleep. I
know how bitchy some girls get." Sage bent over and kissed Katelyn passionately on the
lips. This caused Kento to stir in his sleep. "Getting excited? So am I!" Sage reached
down and attempted to unzip his pants, but the zipper was stuck. "Goddamn it! At a time
like this! Stupid zipper! I hate you! And just when I was about to get lucky!"
As Sage continued to fumble with his zipper, Kento awoke to see his friend
straddling him and trying to get his pants off. "What the hell!!" Kento pulled his fist back
and punched Sage in the head. Sage fell back with a thud just as the clock hit 12:00.
* * *
The morning light peeped through the shades of the apartment and warmed Sage's
face. The smell of fried eggs and toast blended with the heavy scent of cheap perfume that
still lingered in the air. Sage woke up with a pounding pain in his head.
"Ugh...oh man. I don't remember anything." He sat up slowly and looked around
his apartment. Rowan and Ryo were watching television. "Hey guys...what are you doing
here?"
"Good morning!" Ryo said cheerfully.
"It's about time you woke up. It's almost noon," Rowan said with a chuckle.
"What happened?" asked Sage rubbing the back of his neck. Ryo and Rowan just
laughed and continued to watch TV.
Sage got up and followed the smell of breakfast into the kitchen where Cye and
Kento were cooking.
"Good morning, guys."
"Did you get a good night's sleep, Sage?" asked Cye.
"Not really. My head really hurts."
"Well, don't you worry, man! We're cookin' up some nice eggs and toast for ya!"
said Kento happily. He leaned over and whispered in Cye's ear. "I still have that disgusting
taste in my mouth. Sage probably did something perverted. Do you think I can have an
extra egg to try to get rid of it?"
Ryo and Rowan walked into the kitchen behind Sage, laughing.
"All right guys, the joke is up. What exactly happened last night?" Sage asked.
"Nothing really. You didn't break your promise though. You only had four women
last night," said Kento.
"I did? I mean...I did! Woah...So did I have a wild night last night?"
The four Ronins looked at each other and laughed. "Well, we guess you could say
that..."
