Ryo sat on the stairs. He was waiting for Mia to get home. They had left as soon as she went into the room. And lucky for him he was elected to talk to her about it. He gulped as he saw her red jeep pull up. 'C'mon Ryo! You're the leader of the great Ronin Warriors, you beat the dynasty, killed Talpa twice! You can handle Mia!' Ryo sighed mentally. Who was he kidding, Mia was worse the Talpa.
"Hey Ryo, why are you out here so late?" Mia asked as the hot summer's breeze blew past them. Ryo took a shaky breath and stood up.
"Mia sit down, I have to talk to you," Mia gave him a funny look but sat down as he started to pace in front of her.
"Ryo, what's wrong? You're scaring me," Ryo turned to her and decided he better just blurt it out.
"Mia, me and the guys followed you today, we wanna know who you were with and why you were so upset when you ran out. It worries us that you didn't take us with you, we don't want you getting hurt and that's about it," Ryo said all in one breath. He opened his eyes, he had closed them when he had said they followed her. Once his eyes were open he was met with enraged eyes.
"Ryo Sanda! You and the others had NO right to follow me! And I do not have to tell you anything!" she stormed into the house and the others peeked out looking at Ryo who let out a low sigh. 'This is going to be harder then I thought,'

Ayna lay in bed, tossing and turning. Her cotton yellow sheets were tangled around her legs and lower body. Beads of sweat broke out on her forehead as she started to whimper in her sleep. She bolted up screaming.
Her chest heaved up and down as she held her head in her hands. 'Oh god, not again! I hate it when she's right!' she thought as a picture lay fresh in her mind.
There stood Mia in a white dress. It draped in the back with slightly large arm holes. A gold sash was wrapped around her waist along with a gold chain. Her hair was no long straight red but curly black. She had turquoise blue eyes instead of green eyes.
Next to her stood a girl with long black hair. She had on a gold mask to hide her face. She had on a gold tube top with a short skirt that tied on the side. A sheer gold shirt was over it running to the floor. A sword was in her hand and her brown eyes were narrow. A gold chain anklet hung from around her ankle. A gold charm was on it, shaped as a bull.
On the other side of Mia she stood. Her gold mask was pushed up slicking her long black hair back. She had on a gold shirt that had two small straps that crossed in the front and tied around her neck. It went down to her mid waist with the back open, almost like a halter top. She had a short gold skirt on that tied in the front. Under it there was the same length gold skirt. A gold belly chain huge around her waist as well along with an anklet at her bare right foot. The charm on her's wasn't of a bull though, but of a scorpion. Her blue eyes seemed to be glaring at you, almost haunting you.
Ayna shook her head to clean the vision from her mind. She couldn't let them rule her life with haunting nightmares. 'I really hope Mia is wrong about this,'

A man sat on a large gold thrown that was lined with rubies, emeralds, diamonds and more gems. He had on Arab pants with out a shirt on. He had on a gold chain that had a large charm on it. It had a bull fighting and over sized scorpion.
A smirk played across his lips with his dark brown almost black eyes were full of evil, the light reflecting off his hairless head. (Sugar ~ just had to put that in!!!) He clenched the ends of the arms of the chair.
The girl from the desert walked in. This time she had a gold cloth covering her mouth. Diamond held the mouth piece on. She walked up to him and bowed on one knee.
"Satu, I have found her," she said looking up, her brown eyes dazzling with life. Satu smirked and stood up.
He walked over to her and lifted her chin up making her stand. He moved his face closer to hers, their lips almost touching.
"Good job my Neri, now go and bring them to me," he said brushing his lips against hers. Neri nodded and walked off. Satu turned and sat down on his thrown again. "Soon you will be mine Feritia, soon very soon,"

Sage stood on his balcony in only silky green PJ pants. His hair blew gently in the breeze, slightly uncovering his violet gray eye. He closed his eyes as the wind blew around him, sending chills down his back. He opened his eyes as he heard the back door shut. 'The guys are training again?' he thought and looked down not to find the guys but Mia.
She was in tight white shorts with a black tank top. Her hair was pulled into a high ponytail with a white band tied around her head. She walked over to the kick bag and started out with some basic kicks, which didn't surprise Sage. But after a little she started to do difficult combinations, which made Sage wonder.
"Maybe she just took some classes," he whispered to himself.
After a while she stopped for a breather. She sat down on a pile of mats breathing hard. She looked up as a car pulled up. It was a black BMW. The lights died and a girl stepped out. She had long black hair and was tan. She was wearing black shorts that were a bit baggy with a white shirt that was tied up into a belly shirt. Her long black hair was pulled into a braid with a bandana on. She swung her back off her shoulder and it landed next to a tree.
Mia stood up and walked over to her. They talking for a little then pulled out the mats. Mia jogged in place a little warming up a bit while the other girl stood on the side with a stop watch. She rose her hand and brought it down. Mia took off running into a series of back flips, front flips, walkovers, and handsprings. Once she reached the end the girl stopped her stopwatch and Mia walked over to her.

Mia's jaw dropped as she looked at the time on the stopwatch. 2:30!?!?!?!
"No way!" Mia cried in disbelief.
"Getting a little rusty now aren't we?" Ayna joked as Mia swung a punch at her. She ducked and fell over laughing. Mia giggled and took the stop watch from her.
"Get going," Ayna nodded and flipped up. She jogged over to the end of the mat as Mia rose her hand. She dropped it and Ayna took off. She ran into a handspring to a front flip turning into a back walk over to a series of three back flips. She stopped flat and looked over at Mia who looked like she had seen a ghost.
"Well?" Ayna asked raising an eyebrow.
"1 minute flat," came a shocked reply.
"WHAT?! A minute!? Damn I'm rusty myself!" Ayna said flopping down. Mia just shook her head and sat down on the grass. She looked over at Ayna as her eyes went wide.
"What's wrong?"
"Mia! Look out!" she looked up at Sage's window as he yelled at her. She screamed as a large strong arm wrapped around her neck. She was pulled up off the ground and up into the air.
Ayna jumped up and glared at the person under Mia. Satu stood raising his hands above his head, a servant holding Mia up in the air with Satu's help. Neri stood next to Satu smirking as Sage ran up next to Ayna.
"Satu, mehra prolo tagago!" Ayna spat balling her hands into fists. Satu smirked along with Neri.
"Camo gargo mamy baloho Feritia," Neri said wickedly. Ayna looked up at Mia her eyes burning with tears. She looked back down at Neri and Satu.
"Kama heto rolg Neri!" Ayna screamed. Neri laughed snapping her fingers. Mia was let go. She started to fall to the ground but disappeared.
"NOOO MIA!!!" Ayna screamed and charged at Neri. Neri and Satu both disappeared into thin air as Ayna tripped and fell. Sage gasped and ran over to help her up.
"Are you ok?" Sage asked as the rest of the guys came running out. "What were you speaking?"
"I'm fine," Ayna said pushing him away. "It was Oriden, the language of the unknown."
"Where's Mia?!" Sai and Ryo cried at the same time. They looked at them then to Sage and Ayna. She clenched her fists and looked down.
"Not safe, lets just keep it at that," she said while turning around to leave. A strong hand grabbed Ayna and spun her around. She met Kento's round brown angry eyes.
"That's not a good enough answer! Where is Mia!" Ayna narrowed her eyes.
"Like I said, not safe, now let me go," never once did she lose her cool, Kento tightened his grip. Sai put a hand on his shoulder making him look back at him.
"Just let her go," Kento growled deep within his throat but let go.
"If she gets hurt I'm going to hunt you down and kill you, you got me?" Kento hissed glaring at her once again.
"She's Mia's friend, I doubt she'll let Mia get hurt," Sage said looking at Ayna with one gray eye. Ayna flashed a glance at him but looked up into the sky. 'He already knows to much, I can't stay here,' she turned around once again, but was stopped again.
"Will we be able to get her back?" Ryo asked, Ayna turned around and looked straight at him. Their eyes met letting Ayna see into his soul.
'He cares for her,' she gasped as she felt a surge of power run down her spin, 'what the...' she looked back behind her again and walked over to her car. She opened the door and looked back at him.
"Mia can handle herself where she is, no need to worry about her, they won't hurt her," with that she disappeared into her car and drove away.
