Author's Disclaimer: Sadly, I don't own Ronin Warriors/Yoroiden Troopers or Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon. Perhaps if I agree to go on a date with Seiji, he'll get it for me. Wufei::snickers:: Some how I don't see that happening. ::blinks and runs off as the author chases after him with Seiji's no datchi:: Injustice!!!

"Three aces."
"Four twos."
"One three."
Kento looked up at Sage, who had placed the card down on the deck. "Only one card?" he asked skeptically.
"Yes." Sage answered, his unhidden eye showing complete calmness.
"I think you're bluffing." Kento replied. "Bull!"

(AN: Okay, the card game they're playing, for those who didn't know is called "Bull". Actually, it's called "Bull Sh*t". It may sound bad to some, but the name suits it pretty well. Basically, you put a card, face down on the deck in groups according to their number. 1, 2, 3, J, Q, K... etc. If you don't have the card, you lie and put another in it's place. If one of the other players think you're bluffing, they call 'Bull'. If it turns out you weren't lying, they have to take all the cards in the deck."

"If you insist." Sage answered, still straightfaced.
Kento grinned and lifted the card. Once he turned it over he found, much to his dismay, that the card was in fact a three. Three of Diamonds to be exact.
"How ironic." Cye noted with a grin.
"Aww maaan." Kento moaned.
"Go ahead, Kento." Raye, who was sitting across from Sage, replied. "Take the deck. That's the rules, ne?"
Kento pouted and picked up all the cards, adding them to his current hand.
"It's okay, Kento," Lita, who was sitting next to him, replied, giving him a hug. "I'm not too good at this game either."
"It's not fair that you can't see both of Sage's eyes." Kento said with a frown. "I just can't catch him in a lie." Sage raised an eyebrow at this. "And I know that Rowen and Amy are cheating too."
Rowen and Amy, who happened to be sitting next to each other playing from the same hand, both gave Kento a "who us?" look.
Cye laughed at this. "Come on now, Kento, you know you'll never be able to prove that one."
Kento snorted.
Just then, a loud, thunderous sound could be heard from the steps in the hall. All of the troopers snapped into attention and jumped to their feet, preparing to protect their new friends.
"Miiiiiinnnnnnnnnnaaaaaaa!" Serena squealed as she bounded down the steps, two at a time, at record speed.
All the troopers relaxed.
"Bunny, you baka!" Raye snapped, getting up from her seat. "Keep it down or you'll wake Mia-san!"
"That's just it!" Serena gasped as she skidded to a stop. "Mia is awake!"
Suddenly, there was mass movement as eight extra people were up in Serena's face.
"NANI?!?!"

~*~ In Mia's Room ~*~

Ryo and Mia could only blink as 10 excited people filed into the room. Mia didn't say a word, but Ryo seemed to give everyone a "what's all this" look.
"Oh, Mia, we're so glad you're okay!" Mina bubbled, hugging Cye gleefully.
"Minna," Mia said, slowly sitting up. "You're all okay."
"Of course we're okay!" Kento exclaimed. "It's you we were worried about"
There was a lot of 'mm-hmm'-ing and mass nodding of heads. Even Byauken agreed by nuzzling Mia's side gently.
"I'm sorry I worried you all." Mia said apologetically, lowering her head slightly. Feeling a warm, but strong hand rest itself upon hers, Mia looked up to see Ryo looking at her. Concern and regret were in his eyes.
"It's not your fault, Mia." he said quietly.
"Hai!" Lita agreed. "The only one to blame is Argos, and we're going to put a stop to her!"
"We?" Mia blinked at her.
"That's right, Mia." Serena said. "We're the agents of love and justice, the Sailor Senshi. We're going to help Ryo and the others fight Argos."
"Oh..." Mia replied. "I wish there was something I could do to help..."
"Don't worry, Yagyuu," Darien replied reassuringly. "Just leave everything to us."
Mia smiled slightly. "Arigato, Chiba."
Everyone else agreed and soon began fussing over how worried they had been for Mia and how glad they were that she was okay. While everyone else looked perfectly happy and relieved, Ryo looked like he was on the verge of tears. Sage was looking a bit emotional as well as he stepped out of the room. Only Raye and Serena noticed his departure. They both exchanged looks and nodded.
"Why don't we all let Mia rest some more?" Serena suggested.
"We should probably check to see that she's fully recovered first." Amy protested.
"You'll have plenty of time to do that later, Dr. Quinn." Raye said. "I think we should go now."
"Demo..."
Cye and Mina, being the warrior and soldier of Love and Trust, caught on the plan.
"Hoi, Mina, how about we go peek at Kento's hand downstairs to see what cards he has?" Cye suggested with a grin. Minako giggled.
"Oi! I knew you guys were all cheating!" Kento exclaimed as he chased Kento out of the room. Mina and Lita were close at their heals, giggling all the way.
"Wanna keep playing, Amy?" Rowen asked, extending his arm to her.
Having finally gotten the drift, Amy blushed and smiled sheepishly, taking his arm. "That sounds like fun, Rowen." With that they both walked out of the room.
"Ne, Muffin," Serena said, taking Darien's arm. "Can you teach me the game minna is playing?"
Darien smiled. "Hai, Meatball head." he said. "Let's go." With that, they both walked out of the room. At that time, the only ones left were Ryo, Mia, Raye, and Byauken.
"I think we'll leave you two alone." Raye replied as she opened the door slowly. Ryo gave her a look of gratitude. Raye smiled and walked out of the room, closing the door behind her.
"Ryo still feels guilty about what happened." she replied, knowing that he was still standing outside.
Sage, who had been leaning against the wall, pushed himself off and turned to face her.
"Well," he said. "this is his chance to get things straight between the two of them."
"Sage..." Raye began.
"Ryo's the leader of our group, Raye," Sage said, his eyes lowered. "He takes it upon himself to carry all of our burdens on his shoulders." He looked back up at her. "Didn't you see how he looked in there? When something happens to one of us, it affects him worst of all. Ryo needs this."
"For you to sacrifice your happiness for his, he must be a good leader." Raye said.
"And a good friend." Sage added. "You should understand that."
"I do--mm!!" Raye Hino, the Senshi of War, who had always thought she had despised men, was completely caught off guard as Sage Date, the Warrior of Courtesy, pulled her into his arms and kissed her.

Author's Notes:

Miss Chang Po: Well, how do you like that? ::Wufei opens his mouth to speak:: You don't answer!

Wufei: ::humphs::

Miss Chang Po: I really really hope you guys are liking my fics so far. For those of you who were reading this fic, I'm really sorry I haven't posted anything on a while. I swear, my computer is out to get me. It ate my disc that had this fic on it. But never fear, I have the whole thing written down in a book, which means-

Wufei: That you'll actually have to type it up rather than copy and paste like before.

Miss Chang Po: ::laughs nervously:: Ah well... we all have to make sacrifices, ne?

Wufei: ::humphs again:: Only the weak make sacrifices. The strong don't have to.

Miss Chang Po: ::eyebrow twitches angrily:: Errr.... right....
