The Others

Chapter 11

"Ok, so this is the warlords hide out? You'd think with all the money that they're going to get for having Sage, they could at least buy a better looking place." Mia muttered. Rowen smiled in response to her words, but for once said nothing. Even he felt sorry for the wolf boy. He had to admit, though they didn't like each other, it wasn't the boy's fault he was taken from his home in the wilderness, and captured by insane beings.

"Ok, here's the deal. Ryo is not to be left alone, in case they figure out who he is. So Ryo, you go with Kento." Both boys nodded.

"I want you two to go around to the back entrance. I'll go with Rowen, Anubis, can you handle yourself?" Anubis snuffed.

" Of course I can! Who do you take me for, Rowen?"

"Hey!" Rowen exclaimed, sticking his tongue out at the other man.

"I could go on my own too, but I wouldn't dare leave a woman alone to fend for herself."

"I am not just a woman thank you very much! I can take care of myself!" All of the men rolled their eyes at her words.

"What! I could!" She immediately stuck her tongue out at the men.

"Well, as fun as it is to tease Mia, I think that we better go get Sage." Ryo pointed out.

"Who knows what they are doing to him." With grins of knowing that Ryo liked Sage, the others nodded in agreement.

"Fine, we can do that. Come on, let us be going now." Mia exclaimed as each went off into their respective areas.

"Cale, just leave the boy alone! He has done nothing to earn your advances and catcalls, so leave him be!" Cale rolled his eyes at the other boy.

"Is someone jealous?" He asked with a grin, as Sekhmet turned red.

"NO! That's not it! I just don't think that you should be doing that is all." Sekhmet stated as Cale grinned knowingly.

"You are so jealous!"

"I am not!"

"Keep it down in there!" Dais called from his room.

"Me and Kayura are trying to talk!"

"So, he finally getting somewhere with her?" Sekhmet asked as Cale laughed.

"Nah." Sekhmet rolled his beady black eyes at the other boy, as Cale stood up.

"Well, I really must be going, I have a wolf boy to annoy, err, hit on." Sekhmet groaned as he watched Cale leave the room.

"When will that man learn?" He muttered to himself as he set off to get Cale away from Sage.

~*~*~*~

"OK Mia, got any ideas to where we should go?" Mia shrugged as she and Rowen walked through a hallway, backs pressed against the wall in hopes of concealing themselves from sight.

"Well, Sage has to be around here somewhere." She pointed out as Rowen nodded.

"I agree, but the question is where?" Mia glanced at Rowen in confusion, as they heard loud voices arguing and a soft voice sobbing quietly.

"Let's go check it out." Mia stated as Rowen nodded in agreement. The two then proceeded to run off in the direction of the voices.

~*~*~*~

Ryo had heard the crying of the blonde that he cared so deeply for in his mind. How, he didn't know, but for some reason he knew where the boy was. And that was why he and Kento were running down the corridors at top speed. Ryo slid as he tried to halt in front of the door, which was slightly open. He skidded for a moment until Kento grabbed him to stop him.

"Now, if you are going to find Sage, you really must stop slipping up."

"Nice pun." Ryo stated without amusement. Ignoring the other boy, he turned to peer into the crack, and saw Sage, in the arms of another man, cowering from something that Ryo couldn't see due to the fact that the door was not open enough. Sage was in the arms of another man, and crying, his injured arm limp at his side. Ryo didn't like this. He didn't like this one bit. It was then he charged headlong into the room.

~*~*~*~

Sage was once again pressed against Cye, who stroked the blonde's hair in a motherly gesture. To Sage, it was nice to have a motherly figure, but the fact that the blue-haired man had touched him while he was sleeping was not amusing. And that was why the green haired man was scolding the other that that moment. Sage thought for a moment and came to the conclusion that blue-haired people are not his friends.

"Cale, I told you not to touch him! And what did you do? You felt him up, while he was sleeping none the less!" Cale smiled and looked at the blonde again.

"He is very well-built for someone so young."

"I didn't need to know that." Sekhmet replied flatly. It was then, to the shock of all the occupants of the room, a young, black haired boy came bolting into the room.

"Sage!" He cried out as he ran over to the blonde, along with the boy Ryo didn't know. With a sigh, Kento followed the boy filled with a little too much into the room.

"Ryo!" Sage exclaimed as he leapt to his feet, glaring at the shocked Cale and bemused Sekhmet.

"Ryo! We have to get out and this is Cye and he was raised by a whale and…" Ryo covered the boy's mouth. He had never seen Sage happier, or rather, more excited. Kento was rather shocked at the idea that Sekhmet was stopping Cale from doing anything, but at the moment, getting Sage and the other boy out was top priority.

"Ryo, get Sage. Cye, if I got your name correct, come with me." At that exact moment, Mia and Rowen made their entrance.

"Hey! Kento! Guess what we just saw?" Rowen exclaimed with a grin.

"What?"

"Miss Kayura and Dais kissing." Kento grinned, and even Sekhmet and Cale let smiles grace their lips.

"So, Dais finally worked his charm, in a good way that is." Cale stated as Sekhmet shrugged.

"Guess so."

"Umm… Wait a second. Aren't we supposed to be trying to kill each other right now?" Cale pointed out.

"Oh yeah!" The others exclaimed. Sage and Ryo glanced at each other, nodded, and then bolted out of the room together.

"Hmm…. That's a good idea." Rowen stated.

"Well, bye warlords!" Without another word, the rest of their group, including Cye, bolted out of the room.

"Well, we just screwed up." Cale stated.

"We are in deep shit…" Sekhmet concluded, hanging his head and awaiting the punishment they'd receive from Talpa.

To be continued…

So long since I've worked on this… I just have so many stories that it's not even funny. I think I'm up to 20 typed ones, not the ones that I am hand writing. And ALL of them are chaptered ones. /*Sigh*/ Well, I hope you liked the chapter! Bye bye for now!
