Chapter Two ~ War Begins!
"Ivy, some friends of yours are down stairs," called a young men, he was 35 years old. He had short, dark brown hair, dark blue eyes. He was about 6 foot tall, and he was dressed in a pair of black jeans and black T-shirt. He was standing outside her bedroom door.
"Coming, Jeff," came Ivy's voice from inside. "Tell them I'll be down in a sec."
"Alright," Jeff answered turning and walking down the stairs and into the empty dance club.
The Ronins where standing by the bar.
"She'll be down in a second," Jeff smiled, as he walked behind the bar.
Just then Ivy walked down the stairs and over towards them. She was dressed in a black mini-skirt, a red tight tank top, a pair of black, knee-high, high-heeled boots, and her dragons necklace, which hung around her neck. "Hey, guys," she smiled.
"Hello," Cye relied, with a smile.
Ivy propped herself up on to the bar. "Hey Jeff, went do we open?" She asked.
"As soon as Tony and Justin get here," He answered.
"Great," Ivy answered.
"Hey, Hey. Lets say we get this party started," came a voice from the door.
"About time you guys showed up. I'm getting bored. And you now how I am, when I get bored," Ivy said, with a smile, as two men, both the same age as her brother, Jeff.
"Yes, we know," answered a man with short black hair and brown eyes. He was dressed in all black. "Who are your friends Ivy?"
"Oh, Tony these are same guys I met at school. Ryo, Sage, Rowen, Cye, and Kento," Ivy said, introducing the guys. "Guys, this is Tony and Justin," she said.
"Nice to met you," said Justin. He had short brown hair and brown eyes. And he too, was dressed in all black.
"Same here," Replied Ryo. He was dressed in a pair of black jeans and a red T-shirt.
Ivy smiled and looked around at the others. Sage was wearing a pair of black dress paints, a yellow T-shirt and a green jacket.
Kento was dressed was dressed in a pair of dark blue jeans and an orange T-shirt.
Rowen was to wearing a pair of dark blue jeans and a blue T-shirt.
Cye was wearing a pair of khaki paints, a light blue T-shirt.
***
After about six hours, the club was full of people. The music was so loud it was making the wall vibrate. It was almost 1:30.
"Damn, is she a good dancer," Kento said, as he and the other four Ronins watched Ivy.
She was on the dance floor with some guy. Her back to him and her hands waving in the air. His hands, around the front of her waist.
The song ended and Ivy walked over to the guys. "Are you five just going to stand there all night?" She asked, putting a hand on her hip. "Or do I have to drag you onto the dance floor?
The Ronins didn't answered.
"Fine your choose. Ladies," she said, as four other young girls walked up behind her. She smiled evilly and took hold of Sage arm. "Come on."
"Ah, I'm not a very good dancer," he said, trying to talk his way out of embarrassment.
"That's ok," Ivy answered, as she stopped in the middle of the dance floor. She gave him another smile. "Here," she said, as she putting his hands around her waist, "we can start slow." She wrapped her arms around his neck and smiled.
"See, your not that bad," she said, as the song ended. Seeing that he was starting to turn red, she smiled and led him back over to the bar. Where the others were standing. Ivy giggled, when she saw their faces, they were also a little red. "Aw, come on guys. You're not that bad. Are they?" She asked, looking around at the four girls.
The girls shock their heads and smiled. Then walked back into the crowd of people.
"Didn't think so," Ivy smiled.
"Well, well, how would have guessed. The losers would be here," came a voice.
Ivy recognized the voice and turned around, to find Andy and his two friends standing behind the group. "Well, Andy. I wasn't expecting to see you here," Ivy said, as she propped herself up on her elbows, on the bar.
"I was just going to say the same thing," Andy replied.
"I thought you had a party to go to tonight."
"Yes, well, it was boring so we ditched it and came here. But, if I would have know you losers where going to be here we probably wouldn't have come," Andy said, crossing his arms in front of his chest.
"Well, to tell you the truth, Andy, I'm here every night," Ivy replied. "So, it wouldn't matter what day you come I would have been here anyway."
"Please, you don't have the kind of money to get in here every night," Andy shot
"I don't need money to get in. I get in free and I can get anyone I want in free," Ivy shot back.
"Bull shit, you lie," he said.
"Hey sis, anything wrong?" Jeff asked, from over the counter.
Ivy looked at Andy, then to her brother, "Nope, I'm fine," she answered looking at the guys. They smile, then Ivy looked back at Andy, "You were saying?"
Andy said something under his breath and walked away.
Ivy and the Ronins broke into laughter. "Man, he don't like you," Kento said, between breaths.
"Well, he isn't use to getting his ass kicked by a girl. Let alone being turned down for a date," Cye replied.
"No joke. To tell you the truth, you're the only girl who has ever turned him down. Or hasn't hesitated to turn him down, in front of Sage," Rowen said.
"Really, well he is the first guys I've turned down," Ivy replied.
"And he isn't the only guy she's bet the shit out of ether," Jeff said, as he shook his head.
Ivy shrugged, "Well, you know what happens when I get pissed."
"Yes, I do. Believe me, guys don't ever piss her off. You won't be able to move without pain for months," Jeff said.
"Sounds like you speak for experience," Sage said.
"Yes, as a matter of fact I do. But anyway, I have to close up. You boys are welcome to stay," Jeff said, as he walked out for behind the bar.
The guys looked at each other, then to Ivy.
"Don't look at me. It's your call," she said, popping up onto the bar.
***
After everyone had left and the club was clean, it was about 3:30 in the morning. Ivy and the Ronins sat on the bar. Talking about what ever came to mind.
Jeff, Tony, and Justin walked up to them. Tony and Justin got a couple drinks before leaving.
"Later guys," Jeff said, as they made there way out the front door.
They smiled and waved, before they walked out.
"Ivy you lock up?" Jeff asked, throwing her the keys.
"Sure, night Jeff," she smile.
"Night, kid. Night boys, it was nice meeting you. Oh, and don't be afraid to stop by again sometime," he said, as he walked towards the stairs.
"Thanks, we'll keep that in mind. Night," Ryo said, with a smile.
Jeff nodded and disappeared upstairs.
Ivy smiled lightly, and turned back to the guys. "Welcome to my world," she said, as she looked around at the empty dance club. "I love it in here, when theirs not very many people or loud music playing."
The guys looked around, then back to Ivy and smiled.
"You really are a strange one," Kento said.
Ivy giggled, "I'm the strange one? Is that so. Well, we'll see about that," Ivy said, as she stood up, on the bar, and jumped up onto a large pip, which led out in to the middle of the dance floor.
"Hey," the guys said in unison, as they ran after her.
"You boy's willing to show me your fighting skills?" Ivy asked, from where she stood on the pip.
"What for?" Ryo asked.
"Well, you remember those guys at school?" Ivy answered, with a question.
"Yeah," Ryo answered.
"Well, I want to see if you boys could have really of lasted five minutes with them?" She said, not moving from her spot.
Ivy received blank facial expressions from the guys, so she continued. "You boys are aware of the new enemy. Right?" Ivy answered.
"Yeah," Rowen answered.
"Well, like I said yesterday, the new leader of the Dynasty is ten time stronger then Talpa ever was or could ever dream of being. And that includes his army, they are also ten times stronger then Talpa's army ever was. And yes, that includes the Warlords," Ivy said.
"So you weren't kidding?" Cye asked, as he and all the other Ronin's smiles, suddenly turned into worried faces.
"I wish I was. But, no I wasn't," Ivy answered.
"No more question. Where'd the Warlords, turned good?" Sage asked.
"Yes, but sad to say, they where turned evil again and now are stronger then they where before," Ivy answered.
"Was Kayura, turned evil as well?" Rowen asked.
Ivy smiled lightly, "No, she is still on our side. I've talked to her a couple of times. So, what do you boys say? I'd like to see how much you boys have improved."
The guys looked at each other, then back up at Ivy.
"In here," Cye asked, looking around.
"Way not," Ivy shrugged.
"Won't your brother be upset?" Kento asked.
"Not, if we don't brake anything valuable," Ivy answered, with another shrug.
"Ok, your call," Ryo said, with a shrug.
"Cool. Let's stared off without mystically armors or my powers. K?"
"Sounds fun," Kento replied.
"What are the teams?" Sage asked.
"You five verses me," Ivy answered, jumping down from the pip and in the middle of the guys. "Go," she said, as she stood and got into a fighting stance. Letting her eyes wonder for each of the boys.
They all shrugged, and then they to stepped into fighting stance. Kento jumped at her from behind.
Ivy smiled and spun around catching his fists in her hands. "Nice try," she said, as she kicked him in the stomach and sent him flying into the floor on the opposite side of the room.
Taking the advantage, of her back turned to him, Ryo jumped at her.
Ivy shook her head, and jump into the air and landed behind him. She bent down and kicked his legs out from under, causing him to hit the floor hard. "Kento, already turned that," she said, as she turned towards the three. Then she looked over her shoulder to find Kento and Ryo both standing behind her.
"You're, better then I thought," Ryo said, as he and Kento stepped back into their fighting stances.
"Thank you. I've had a lot of practice. And well, no affiance, but you boys could us a little work. You haven't been training very much have you?" Ivy asked.
"No, not very much. I mean with school and everything. There isn't much time," Ryo answered.
"Understandable. Well, I can begin to guess how strong you boys are in your armors," Ivy sighed and stepped out of her fighting stance. "Hopefully, the Dynasty will stay hidden for a little while and we can start training."
Suddenly, an arrow shot for out of the darkness. Ivy caught it before in hit her. Then her eyes wonder towards the spot, where it had come from. "Or, perhaps not," she said, not taking her eyes off that spot. She sighed again, and closed her eyes.
All five Ronins stood in amazement as, a pair of black dragon wings appeared from out of Ivy's back and slowly wrapped around her. A second later, the wings disappeared and Ivy was dressed in her black Chinese dress, with the large dragon down the front, and her sword strapped to her back.
"So, we meet again," said the leader of the warriors that had attacked them yesterday during school. And this time he was carrying a crossbow, instead of a sword.
"Oh boy, don't I feel so lucky," Ivy answered.
"You should, Dragon. For you will die from my hands," he said, reloading his crossbow.
"Is that so?" Ivy asked, as she jumped forward and kicked the crossbow from his hands.
He looked at her in horror and took a step backwards.
Ivy smiled evilly and stepped forward.
He took another stepped and backwards. After repeating this for about five steps, Ivy kicked the legs out for under him.
Ivy smiled and went to take a step forwards, but was stopped by a sword, which was pointing at her throat. She knew exactly whose was hiding in the darkness, behind the sword. "Well, Cale. Long time no see," Ivy said, as the sword lowered and Cale stepped out of the shadows.
He smiled and walked around Ivy, looking at the Ronins, then turning back to Ivy, her back to him. "Yes, it has been. To long I'm afraid," he whispered, wrapping his arm around her waist and pulling her towards him.
Ivy didn't resist, but let him pull her closer to him. She could feel his lips gently touch her neck. Ivy smiled evilly and tilted her head to the side, exposing her neck. "For you perhaps. But, everyday away for you, the better," Ivy replied, not moving.
Cale jerked his head away for her, but still held her around the waist. "Is that so," he replied.
Ivy could tell he was getting angry. She smiled, "Sorry Cale, your going to have to find some one else to hit on. That is if it possible for you to even get any girl to pay any attention to you," she said, still not moving. She could tell that pissed him off. He drew his sword and pressed it agents her throat and wrapped his claw around her waist. He did say anything, so Ivy continued, "Oh, come on Cale you can't kill me."
"And what makes you think so?" he asked, pressing the blade a little harder on her neck, causing the blade to snick into her skin.
"You couldn't kill me two years ago. What makes you think you can kill me now," Ivy answered, not even reattaching to the blade at her throat.
"That was two years ago, I've changed sense then," Cale replied.
"No Cale, I bag to differ. Your still the same heartless ass hole you where two years ago," Ivy said, calmly. She smiled lightly noticing his rage had increased.
"Fuck you, you little bitch," Cale hissed in rage, as he dug is sword into her throat and his claw into her left side.
Ivy screamed in pain, as she felt the icy blades snick deep into her skin.
"Go, to hell," Cale whispered, in her ear, as he pulled his claw out of her side.
"Save me a seat, Cale. Because you'll be there a whole lot sooner then I will," Ivy hissed, as took hold of his sword and turned to face him. She slowly turned him around and pushed him into the wall, with his sword at his throat. "So you go to hell you, fucking ass hole."
Cale smiled, "You might not want to worry about killing me right now. For if you do, you just be killing the Ronins as well. And with out them, I wouldn't has to be saving you any seats, because we both be in hell at the same time."
Ivy turned around, she was doing the best she could on trying to ignore the pain in her side and throat, to find the Ronins being held captive by the new Dynasty solider. "Let them go, now," Ivy hissed, turning back to Cale and slamming him harder into the wall. Causing his sword to snick into his throat.
He laughed, "No, I think not." Then he looked towards the soldiers and nodded his head.
With that each one of the Dynasty soldiers sent a jolt of electricity throw the Ronin's bodies. Causing them to scream in pain.
"Your choose kill me, and them or let me go and save them. Not very hard," Cale laughed.
"Ivy don't worry about us. We'll be fine," Ryo said, trying to hold in all of his pain.
Ivy dropped her head, and tightened her grip on Cale's sword. "If I let you go, will you leave me and them alone?" Ivy asked, not looking at him.
"Why Dragon, dear, you should know never to get attached to anyone during a war," Cale said.
"Answered my question, ass hole. Will you leave?" Ivy hissed.
"Yes, I'll leave. We'll leave," he answered.
"Ivy don't trust him," Sage yelled, he too trying to hide his pain.
Ivy didn't look at him, but released Cale. "You win."
"Always so easily beaten. Especially when lives are a stake. And that ladies and gentlemen, is the Maiden of the Dragon's weakness," Cale smiled, then wrapped his arm around her waist again and pulled her closer to him. He smiled evilly and kissed her.
A second later he released her, "I'll see you in hell," he whispered, shaving his sword into her stomach, before he and the Dynasty soldiers disappeared.
Ivy fell to her knees. One hand on her stomach and the other on her neck.
"Ivy, take in easy," Came Sage's voice. He gently put a hand on her shoulder. "Someone, go get her brother," he said, looking up at the other four Ronins.
Ivy was gasping for air. The wound on her throat had gone in a little deep then she had thought. She looked up at Sage and smile lightly, before passing out.
Sage caught her before she hit the floor. He gently moved her hand away from her throat and put his hand over the wound. A second later he had healed. Then he healed the wound on her stomach, from Cale's sword. After that he moved towards the claw wound on her side, but was stopped by, Ivy's hand. "Careful Halo, don't waste all your power and strength on me," she said, slowly opening her eyes.
Sage smiled, "I think I can live through it," he replied.
Ivy smiled back and let him heal the remaining wound. Then slowly rose to her feet, with the help of Sage.
"Ivy are you ok?" came her brother's voice from the stairs.
Ivy smiled lightly as she watched her brother run down the stairs, followed by Rowen and Cye, "I'm find, Jeff. Thanks to Halo, here."
Jeff let out a sigh of relief and looked at the guys, "So, you five are the Ronin Warriors? Never would have guessed," he said, looking around at the guys.
"So, how many people know about us?" Ryo asked, a little shocked that Ivy's brother knew who they were.
Ivy giggled, "Just us," she answered, as she walked over to her brother. She was now back in her party outfit.
The Ronins sighed and smiled lightly.
"Listen, we'd better go. Mia's probably going nuts," Ryo said.
"Your right," Cye replied.
"Listen, we'll call you tomorrow. Maybe we can do hang out some place?" Ryo asked.
Ivy smiled and nodded, "Sure."
