~* I bring to you all, Chapter 2.....^_^ a little better than the first but what the heck. *~
Broke Down Peice' ah... ^_^;
I dialed up the phone number for Mia's place, now full dressed in my favorite outfit. Which consisted of: My violet no-sleeve turtle-neck shirt, sparkly silver belt, dark blue jeans, and my blue and white tennis shoes(we were going to be outdoors right?) I let my hair flow down, only thing holding it back was a small sparkly silver clip. ^_^ I love sparkly stuff.
My Dad was now reading the newspaper, my sweet lil cousin was outside torchering Jamie forbeing annoying(its nice to know there are some good family members out there in the world huh?)And my Mom was finishing dinner.
The phone rang twice befour it was picked up, a familar voice on the other end, "Hello, Koji place."
" ^_^ Hi Sagey."
"Hey Arein, I'll go get Ryo."
"Okie," on the other end I could hear the phone being put down, and someone asking who is it.
"*^_^* Hi Arein, whats up?" I heard Ryo say in his usually cheery voice.
"Nothin here, sorry about the call earlier." I blushed thinking of how hard he probly laughed.
"Nah, its okay. Um, tell your dad I'll try and remember all that stuff he said."
"Don't worry about Daddy, he's just trying to be an over-protective parent." Dad grumbled and
I giggled.
"Okay,um....you know how I was going to pick you up at 5?"
"Yea,"
"Well, I might not be able to make it..."
"WHAT!!" I yelled over the phone. I could hear him laugh,
"I expected that responce. I might not be able to make it on-time." I sighed of relife, " Mia wants to have a surprise for you and needs to have more time to put it up.And I don't have my licence yet, well, can't get them yet and I need a ride. Mia can't drive me now so.."
I smiled, "I get it Ryo, so, since I'm gettin a surprise will we still be out later?"
"Yup, you dress warmly?"
"Well, I'll bring a jacket in case."
"Cool,"
"Well, how late do you think you'll be?"
"Ah, maybe a half an hour. Mia left 2 hours ago with Cye and.....hold on a minute,"I could hear him click over and a about a minuter later come back.
"Mia's on her way back now.So, be ready I'll be there in a few."
"Alright, C you then." after a moment of silence I thought he'd hung up,
"I..I love you Arein. I'll see you soon,Bye." He hung up befour I could even respond.
"Ryo," I said as I put the phone down and sat on the couch waiting and thinking.

Kento ran down the steps to meet Mia...well, meet the food.Almost tripping over Sage and knocking Rowan down he made his way outside. What he saw at first appered to be Mia's jeep.But, as the vecichal came closer he saw it was a tow truck.
"What the heck?" he said as the truck stopped infront of the house and a tall, round man came out.The man went to the back of the truck and unhooked the jeep from the truck.Mia then came out, followed by Cye carring grocery baggs,and Mia paid the man.
"Have a nice day Miss," the man said as he re-entered the truck and drove off down the street.
"Woah, what happened?" Kento said as he and Cye entered the house with the groceries.
"Just in case you didn't notice, the jeep was kind of smoking at the front," Mia said, and she
seemed angered.
"Woahh, chill, I was just askin,"
"Well then fine," at that Mia sighed and began to prepare the food.
"Hey, where's the others at?" Cye asked Kento as they put the food away.
"Well," Kento said tring to remember," I think Rowan and Sage are outside training,or something like that. Ryo went somewhere with WhiteBlaze, sayin he'd be back soon. And I DID save Mia 1 biscuit."
Cye sighed, "Gee thanks,"
~*~
Ryo walked into the house followed by WhiteBlaze,"Hey, whats up with the jeep?"
"It over-heated a little after we called you," Cye said from the kitchen.
Ryo's heart sank, "But...I was suposta pick up Arein,"
"Ah don't worry man, I'm sure she can get her dad or somebody too."
"Thats not it Kento, she & I don't want her parents to know where this place is...well, not yet anyway. And her dad will kill both of us if she knew I lived with you all."
"Great Ryo, that certainly makes us feel good." Sage said as he entered the house.
"Where's Rowan, I thought he was with you?" Cye asked
"Rowans still training."Sage said as Cye nodded and went back to his kitchen work.
"Its not that," Ryo tried to say in defence," her dad...he's...really weird,"
"Protective?"
Sage looked at Kento a little astonished, " My god, you DO think of things besides food and girls," Ryo snickered, "And your vocabulary gose way beyond just the words like'dude' and 'man'."
Kento stood up, "Ha ha funny. I do have a brain like everyone else, I just don't use it as much." Ryo and Sage laughed but Kento just shurgged and sat down.
~*~
"I'm back!" Rowan said opening the front door, throwing his bow 'n arrow near the closet,
and going right up stairs to a shower.
"Alright," for the first time in and hour Mia came out of the kitchen/dinningroom. "Hurry,
Arien will be here in about an hour."
"Cool, I'll be out befour then."he shut the bathroom door.
Ryo sighed, " I am SERIOUSLY glad she talked her dad out of bringing her. I hope her mom isn't as protective."
"I'm sorry about that Ryo, I should of checked the jeep befour we left." Mia said as she sat down next to him.
"Its alright, I'm just glad she wasn't mad." Mia smiled,
"It's good to know that. She seems like a really nice person."
"She is, belive me. She's kind and sweet and, pretty hott, and caring and considerate and,"
Mia laughed, "I get it Ryo," she smiled at the boy who felt like her little brother, "You really like her don't you Ryo?"
Ryo looked down and blushed, "Like her? I love her, more than anything."
"Awww, how cute. Did you tell her that yet?"
"Well, kinda. Befour I hung up the phone I did,"
"Let me guess, you said it to fast?"
"More like 100 miles per hour, I don't even know if she heard me."
"I'm sure she did, well," Mia stod up, "If there's anything you might want to talk about I'm free until she gets here. Until then, I'm upstairs." she walked up the steps leavingRyo on the couch.
"Thanks Mia," he whispered and settled down.
