Chapter 6: Sasami Joins the Fight
"What the hell happened?! Is she okay?!" Sasami screamed in Sage's ear. She had just arrived when she had gotten off of work; so her clothes had gotten changed quickly. Quietly Kento moved up behind her, gently pulling her off and away from Sage.
"Sasami-baka, calm down. Brie is gonna be fine. Just calm -"Kento put a hand to his cheek where a bright red hand print was beginning to form. Sasami's eyes were a mixture of pain and hatred.
"If it wasn't for you, Brie-chan would be okay! If you hadn't pulled your stupid attack while she was standing there, she'd be okay! It's all your fault! All your FUCKING fault!!" Sasami brushed away the tears that had begun to trickle down her face. Sai decided to stop the fighting duo for at least a short while.
"Sasami-san, come here." He gently put his arms around her and cradled her like you would a small child. Sasami put her head down in the groove of his neck and let the tears that were rarely shown flow freely. Sai calmly began to rock her, while lightly playing with her hair. After about five minutes of this, Sasami finally began to calm down.
Looking up into his eyes, Sasami asked, "Do you think Brie-chan will be okay?" Sai rested his head on top of hers.
"Yea, I think so."
Meanwhile, Kento had abruptly remembered the story he had heard earlier in the day from Brie. His anger forming again, Kento grabbed Ryo's arm and dragged him away from the sight of an unmoving Brie.
"We need to have a talk." Was all he said as he hauled Ryo away to a small untouched area with a tree. Releasing his arm, Kento thought of how he would broach the subject. "Do you know what you've done?"
Ryo was busy rubbing at the slight bruise that had formed on his arm. His eyes caught Kento's as he looked up. "What do you mean?" his voice held no emotion, although Kento could sense it in his eyes.
"You know what I mean!" Kento raged, "You hurt Brie and you hurt her bad! If she dies today," Ryo's eyes began to water, "She'll die, thinking that you hate her. Do you want that?!"
"No." Ryo's voice was little more than a whisper, "I just didn't want to she her get hurt. If I got to attached and something happened, it would hurt too much."
"Yea, well, she got hurt today and you WEREN'T there for her! How does that make you feel?!"
Ryo was silent. He tried to blink back the tears that were threatening to burst forth. Taking a deep breath, he replied,
"Yea, but you wouldn't know how that feels, huh?"
Kento paused for a minute, thinking of the one he loved and would risk his life for, "Yes, actually I do. Now as soon as Brie-chan gets up, I want you to tell her you love her, understand?"
"Yea."
Kento slung an arm around Ryo's shoulders as they walked back to the sight of the small group. Kento and Sasami's eyes lock for a split second before they looked away. Sasami slowly got up from Sai's lap and walked over to Kento. Worried that she was going to slap him again, he backed away. Sasami gave Kento a small but quick hug. Kento was surprised, he had never expected that from her.
"Gomenasi." Was all she said before returning to Brie's side. When she got there, she heard a soft moan.
"What the fuck…? Brie?" Sasami asked, kneeling closer to her nakayoshi's head, "Brie-chan can you hear me?!"
"What the fuck just happened?" Brie's voice was small but getting stronger as it's owner tried to get up, but unsuccessful, "did Kento-chan sit on me or something?" she asked, trying to make light of the situation.
"BRIE-CHAN!!!" Sasami flung herself into the semi-conscious girl's arms. Beginning to sob again, she buried her face into Brie's shoulder like she had done many days and nights after her parent's and brother's deaths.
"I'm okay, Sasa-chan, I'm okay." Brie felt the tears well up and burst forward. "I'm okay…"
Sage kneeled beside Brie, looking her in the face. "Are you sure? That must have hurt."
"I said I'm okay, I never said that I wasn't in pain." Brie cracked a grin, "Besides, if it wasn't for Rain Blaze, I probably wouldn't be okay."
Upon hearing her name, Rain Blaze padded up to the spot where Brie was sitting up. Rubbing her large head against Brie's arm she purred.
"Are you really okay, Brie-chan?" Sasami pulled back out of their embrace, looking Brie straight in the face.
"Yea, I'm okay, my ass just hurts." Slowly, supported by Sasami, she stood up and took a few shaky steps.
"Brie, can I talk to you for a minute?" Ryo asked, his voice shaking and scarcely a whisper.
Fear and confusion flashed swiftly threw her eyes. "Yea, sure." She quickly detransformed back into the clothes she had been in earlier.
Ryo walked up and softly took her hand. He led her to the place where he and Kento had had their 'talk' - right in front of the tree. Taking a deep breath, he turned towards her.
"I'm sorry." Was all he was able to say before Brie began to yell at him.
"You're SORRY?! Is that all you can say?! You broke my heart, Ryo Sanada. I trusted you and you lied to me. I gave you my heart and you just threw it on the ground. You said you loved me and I believed you. What the hell am I 'posta say?! 'It's alright, Ryo, I forgive you for hurting me!'?! What do you expect?! I really did trust you, Ryo Sana-" Brie was effectively silenced when Ryo's lips claimed hers. Trying not to go weak in the knees, she forced herself to try and push him away. Part of a song flashed through her head.
~~ I love you/ always forever/ near and far/ closer together/ everywhere I will be with you/ everything I will do for you/ say you love me/ always forever/ never stop loving whatever/ near and far/ you're always the one I swear to love…~~
Tears began to fall from her eyes as she kissed Ryo back. Surprised, Ryo pulled back, knocking Brie out of her reverie. Looking down into her eyes, he couldn't tell what was going through her mind.
"Brie, I am so sorry." Ryo could feel the tears well up in his eyes. He turned his face away so she wouldn't see them. "I'm sorry I lied. I thought I had to because, if you got hurt or killed in a battle, I wouldn't be able to go on living. So I thought if I broke up with you and tried to forget about you, it wouldn't hurt as bad…"
Brie was hesitant. She didn't want to get hurt again. But her heart was telling her to go for it, while her head was telling her to run. On impulse, she decided to go with her heart. She reached up her hand and turned Ryo's face towards her. Looking right into his tiger blue eyes, she spoke.
"I forgive you." Was all she was able to say before Ryo swept her up into an earth-shattering embrace.
Meanwhile…Behind our good friend the tree…~~
"That is sooo sweet…" Sasami sighed silently, wishing that she had someone who loved her that much. Or atleast loved her back.
"What the hell are you doing, Sasami-baka?!" Kento yelled from right behind her. Spinning around Sasami effectively shut him up. (Elf: and NO it's not the same way that Ryo shut Brie up.)
"Shut up." Was all Sasami said to the writhing mass of the Ronin of Hardrock that was curled up in a ball beside her. "I'm busy."
Kento attempted to sit up. "Yea, busy spying. Ya know, I think this is one of those things called a 'personal moment', where as people like YOU shouldn't be."
"I thought I said SHUT UP!" Sasami yelled,hitting Kento again.
Back with Ryo and Brie…~~
"Did that tree just yell?" asked Ryo, when he came up for air.
"No, I don't think so." Brie was able to manage before Ryo reclaimed her lips.
Now back at the tree AGAIN…~~
"Oh, shit they spotted us!!" Kento yelled, grabbing Sasami's arm, "RUN!!"
"Hey!! Let go of me you perv!!" Sasami hit Kento upside the head, which was effective in getting her arm released. "JERK!!"
Kento sat, dumbfounded, on the pavement waiting for his equilibrium to come back.
"YOU STUPID JERK!" Her feet propelled her to work, where she had to be in a few minutes. The clouds overhead darkened, furrowing into strange shapes as she ran off.
Kento turned to follow her, but paused for a second. Why was he going to follow her?
It might storm and shorty might drown. Yeah. Shorty might drown.
Sasami just made it inside Crown Game Parlor as the rain began to pour down behind her. Kento bounded behind her, running her into and pushing her through the glass door. She fell backwards, her quick reflexes moving her arms to support her weight. Kento toppled on top of her small body and unable to support herself, she fell to the ground.
Sasami angrily glared at Kento as she tried to push him off of her, but decided that violent means were better. She managed to pull an arm out from underneath Kento as he struggled to get up and smacked him across the face. "YOU PERV!" she screeched, pulling herself from underneath him using her free arm.
Kento fumbled to his feet just as Sasami was up and wiping invisible dust particles off of herself. "Why did you follow me?" she demanded.
"Because it's about to storm…?" Kento's answer seemed to be more of a question.
"Yeah right, you probably just wanted some."
"Whaaa?" Kento seemed a bit distraught.
"You want me, don't you?"
"No…." Kento blushed.
"You perv!" She punched him and he fumbled backwards.
"Hey! What the hell was…that…for?" Kento's out cry was slowly silenced as he looked around and realized that the entire café and game parlor was empty. "Sasami…"
"What is it NOW, Kento-baka!?" Sasami stormed to the back of the establishment, only to find that the 'employ's only' was lock. "What the hell…Chianti! Hutyi! Where are you!?"
"Looking for your friends, Warrior of Golden Sun?" Lady Naru asked. Kento snuck away to transform.
"Armor of Hardrock! Dou Gi!" The parlor was filled with the scent of cherry blossoms as Kento transformed. He took out his Bo-stick and began to rush at Lady Naru. Lady Naru only flipped out of the way as the scythe end made a stab at her head. "Sasami! Transform!"
"Um…HOW!?" Sasami cried out, as she hopped from foot to foot.
"I don't know! Say your armor name, like I did and then whatever!" Kento resumed fighting for Shorty's safety. Not that he cared or anything, but she was a fellow warrior…
Sasami was trying to remember the phrase that she used in her dreams…"Armor of Golden Sun! Dou Ai!!" She was lifted up as she transformed. Bright flashes of light were seen, causing Kento and Lady Naru to pause in fighting. As soon as it had started it was over. "What a RUSH!" Sasami squealed as she examined her now body-encasing armor and the wicked sharp scythe in her right hand. "Hey Lady what-ever-your-name-is! You're going down!!" Sasami charged ahead not bothering to make a plan of action. "KYYAAA!! Die bitch!"
Kento stepped out of the way as his female companion careened past him. "Oh man…"
As the two women warriors clashed, sword against scythe, Lady Naru realized that she had made a grave mistake in challenging this fighter. In a moment of uncertainty, Sasami got a hit in. "You little brat!" The Lady of the Dynasty wiped the blood off of her cheek and flicked it away from her. "I will return." With that she vanished in a swirl of pink rose petals.
Sasami detransformed, and resumed looking for her friends. Suddenly, she heard Motoki yelling for help from the back room. She stumbled in and burst into laughter at the sight of him stripped down to his boxers. "Are you okay?" she managed to get out in-between giggles. She eyed his hot pink and green striped boxers.
Motoki attempted to look stern but ended up looking like a fool. "Yea, I'm fine, just embarrassed. Do you have any idea who that psychotic lady was?"
"Um…no?" Sasami answered, hoping he would believe her.
"Okay. Can you, um, untie me?" this sent Sasami into a whole nother fit of giggles.

Back with Ryo and Brie…~~
"Did that tree just yell?" asked Ryo, when he came up for air.
"No, I don't think so." Brie was able to manage before Ryo reclaimed her lips.
Now back at the tree AGAIN…~~
"Oh, shit they spotted us!!" Kento yelled, grabbing Sasami's arm, "RUN!!"
"Hey!! Let go of me you perv!!" Sasami hit Kento upside the head, which was effective in getting her arm released. "JERK!!"
Kento sat, dumbfounded, on the pavement waiting for his equilibrium to come back.
"YOU STUPID JERK!" Her feet propelled her to work, where she had to be in a few minutes. The clouds overhead darkened, furrowing into strange shapes as she ran off.

"Um…HOW!?" Sasami cried out, as she hopped from foot to foot.
"I don't know! Say your armor name, like I did and then whatever!" Kento resumed fighting for Shorty's safety. Not that he cared or anything, but she was a fellow warrior…
