"Darkness Revived"

Chapter Four

      "So, what are we going to do tonight? I want a break," Kento said, stretching out his arms. Everyone sat together in the living room. Sage sat in one chair while Mia sat on Ryo's lap in the other chair. Kento, Yuli, and Rowen sat on the floor. Kayura, Cale, and Cye sat in the sofa and Dais and Sekhmet sat in the loveseat.

      "We can go to a club tonight," Sage said.

      "I guess we can," Mia said.

      "That sounds fine with me. How about everyone else?" Rowen asked.

      "I would want to see what you can do around here in the mortal world," Cale said.

      "Sounds okay with me," Kayura said.

      "Can I go with you guys?" Yuli asked, petting White Blaze.

      "Yuli, you know you're too young."

      "But Ryo…"

      "Right before we go, we'll take you home," Cye said.

      Everyone got up and started to head toward their rooms. Mia grabbed Ryo's wrist in the living room and stopped him. "Ryo?"

      "What is it, Mia?"

      "I was wondering if we could go somewhere else, just the two of us?"

      "Sure, but why the sudden change of heart?"

      She put her arms around his neck and rested her head. "Well, I just want us to be alone for once. We're never alone. We are either with Yuli, or the guys, or White Blaze, never by ourselves."

      "Now that I think of it, we've never really been alone. Something has always come up."

      "Like the time the guys got arrested and White Blaze was sent to the zoo."

      "Or the time the guys lost Yuli and they found him in the garbage dump."

      "I'm still trying to figure that one out. So, we can go? I know a really nice place we can go to." She looked into his blue eyes.

      "Of course we can." Ryo softly kissed Mia on the lips.

      "Hey, you two, don't you have to get ready? We're leaving in an hour," Sage said, holding a towel. They both started to blush.

      "We'll be ready soon," Ryo said.

      "So, Nai, another one of your plans was destroyed by the princess."

      "Don't worry, Master, this will be much more successful." This girl is much stronger than I thought. I wonder if she could defeat Master Hunter.

      "It better be. I want my prize now. I've been waiting for such a long time to have a hunt like this. This may be the greatest hunt. Just make sure that the woman is still breathing when you bring her."

      "Of course I'll make sure."

      Yuli, Sage, Kento, Dais, and Sekhmet waited in the car while Rowen, Cye, Cale, and Kayura waited by the door. "What are we waiting for?" Kayura asked.

      "We're waiting for Ryo and Mia," Cale said.

      "But they're never late. Sage is the one who's always late," Rowen commented.

      "Sorry you guys have been waiting," Ryo said, coming around the corner in a black suit with a red button-down shirt under. Mia came after in a long sleeveless black satin dress.

      "You guys, we're only going to a club. Why are you so dressed?" Cye asked.

      "We would love to come with you guys, but we decided we're going to spend the night by ourselves," Mia said, hooking her arm with Ryo's.

      "Are you sure you guys are going to be okay without us tonight?" Ryo asked.

      "We'll be fine. You guys should get some time alone. We promise that we won't do anything to disturb you guys," Cye said.

      "Thanks, you guys."

      Kento sat in the van and saw Mia and Ryo drive away in Mia's jeep. "Hey, where are they going?"

      "They're going somewhere else tonight, so we have to be on our best behavior," Rowen said, going into the driver's seat.

      "Are you sure you can control yourself?"

      "Of course I am, Rowen. It won't be a problem."

      Ryo and Mia sat by a table with a candle in the middle. "See, isn't this better?"

      "I have to say it's much more peaceful," Ryo said. In the background, the music started to play. Ryo got up and held out his hand. "May I have this dance?"

      "Of course." Ryo led Mia to the dance floor and put his arms around her waist as she put her arms around her neck. "We should do this more often."

      "I know, but it's so hard to get away from the guys sometimes."

      "I'm just worried that at any minute we're going to get a phone call about something they did."

      "Don't say that. You're going to jinx us."

      "I'm sorry," she said as she put her head on his chest and continued to dance.

      "I can't believe that Ryo and Mia left us like that."

      "Just leave it alone, Kento."

      "But Sage…"

      "Listen, Kento, every time they try to go out alone, something always happens to us and we wind up ruining their night," Rowen said, taking a drink of water.

      "So we can't get into any trouble," Cye said. In the background, they heard people screaming 'fight, fight'.

      "Hey, where are Cale and Sekhmet?" Dais asked.

      "I saw them by the bar about an hour ago," Kento replied.

      "I think I know where they are." Rowen got up and ran over toward the fight.

      "I'm more powerful, Cale."

      "NO, I am." Cale and Sekhmet started punching each other and knocking each other down. Rowen came over and picked Cale up while Dais picked up Sekhmet.

      "What are you two doing?"

      "Get away, Strata. This doesn't concern you. Let me at him."

      "Calm down, you two. The last thing we want tonight is to get in trouble," Sage said.

      Suddenly two guards came in and Cale knocked into him. "Get away from me, you jerk." He punched him in the face and the guard fell over.

      "Okay that's it." The guard got up and tried to control Cale as the other controlled Sekhmet. "You two are going to be coming with us for the night." They led Cale and Sekhmet out the door and the rest followed.

      Mia stood out in the balcony in a pair of shorts and spaghetti-strap tank. "You know, Ryo, I think this is the only time alone that we've ever had."

      "I think so too, Mia," he said, coming out of the bathroom in a pair of pants.

      "This night has been so perfect. The guys didn't disturb us once, we didn't have to worry about Yuli or White Blaze, and we had no trouble from any evil forces. It just seems too good to be true. I wish we could have these days more often."

      Ryo came toward Mia with both hands behind his back. "Mia, can I ask you a question?"

      "What, Ryo?"

      Ryo showed a black box and opened it to show a ring. "Will you marry me?"

      Mia opened her eyes in surprise. "Of course I will, Ryo." Ryo put the ring on her finger and kissed her. "This is the best night of my life."

      "You know, Mia," Ryo said, looking at her as he walked toward the bed, "why don't we take advantage of being alone?"

      "And what exactly do mean by that, Wildfire?" She followed him and sat on the bed. They began to kiss softly but became more passionate as Ryo laid Mia down under the covers and took off her tank top.

      "Ryo, Mia, are you there?" Mia and Ryo popped up and Mia covered her chest with the blanket.

      "Yuli, is that you?" Ryo asked. Yuli sat on White Blaze by the door, rubbing his eyes. "What are you doing here? I thought the guys dropped you off at home."

      "They were going to, but my parents weren't home, so they decided to drop me off here and keep going. They left a note saying I was here, though, and I just saw my parents' car pull up."

      "Wait right there, Yuli." Ryo got out of bed and went with Yuli toward the door. The doorbell rang and Ryo opened the door.

      "Hello, Ryo. We're so sorry to wake you up so late."

      "It's okay, but Yuli did give us quite a surprise when he appeared," Ryo said, rubbing his head.

      "Is everything okay, Ryo?" Mia asked, coming to the door.

      "Everything's fine." Mia hugged Ryo's arm and yawned.

      Yuli looked at Mia's hand and saw the ring. "I've never seen that ring before, Mia. Is it new?" he asked.

      "It sure is, Yuli. Ryo just proposed to me a few minutes ago."

      "Congratulations! You two are perfect for each other."

      "Thank you."

      "Well then, we'll be on our way. Sorry to disturb you again."

      "It's no problem." Yuli and his parents walked toward the car and Ryo closed the door. "Well, that was interesting."

      "The guys should have at least left a note for us."

      "Now that we definitely have the house to ourselves, shall we continue?"

      "We shall." Ryo took her by the wrist and led her to the bedroom, but the phone rang. Mia walked over to the phone and picked it up. "Hello? …Okay …What! …Yes, they live here… Actually, I think I have a better idea. Can you tell them that you tried to call me but I wasn't at home? I want to teach them a lesson… Okay… thanks." She hung up the phone and let out a sigh.

      "What was that?"

      "The police. It seems that Sekhmet and Cale got into a huge fight and Cale struck down an officer. They called to see if we would pay for bail, but instead we are going to teach them a lesson."

      The others snuck into the house and sat down. "I can't believe we spent the whole night in jail. We were supposed to have fun," Kento complained.

      "We would have, too, if it weren't for two people starting a huge fight that wound up getting everyone involved," Sage said, looking at Cale and Sekhmet.

      "We said we were sorry. What else do you want?" Cale asked, crossing his arms.

      "At least they weren't able to contact Mia and Ryo about it, or we would be in so much trouble."

      "I'm just happy that Kayura was in the bathroom and wasn't arrested and got the money for us," Rowen said.

      "But she could have gotten it a bit faster," Kento complained again.

      "Just be happy I got it, or you would still be locked up. And just to tell you, you owe me and your bank account."

      "Remember, we can't tell Ryo or Mia anything about this, okay?" Cye said.

      "About what?" Ryo asked, coming into the living room.

      "Oh, nothing. How was your night last night?" Kento asked.

      "It was fine. Mia and I really needed the night alone, except for Yuli who appeared out of nowhere."

      "Sorry about that. We were in kind of a hurry," Cale commented.

      "Just leave a note next time. It doesn't take long to write one," Mia said, stretching in the hallway and then going next to Ryo. "So, how was your night in jail?"

      "What! How did you know about that?"

      "The police called last night, but I told them to pretend that they didn't reach us."

      "That was mean."

      "But hopefully next time you go out you won't get into trouble."

      "Are still mad about the Yuli incident?"

      "Yes, I am. You guys should be more responsible. Now, what should I do with you all?" Mia asked, crossing her arms.

      Everyone stared in silence, but Sage looked at Mia's hand. "No way! Ryo, you didn't ask her without us? We were supposed to be there with you."

      "I'm sorry, but last night just seemed like the perfect time."

      "Congratulations, you two. How about we forget about everything and celebrate?"

      "Please, Mia, it was Sekhmet and Cale who were arrested, and they're new."

      "Okay, but if this ever happens again I'll make sure that you'll stay for longer than a night."

      "We promise, Mia, but first we need some sleep."

      "That's a good idea, Kento," Dais commented. Everyone except Ryo and Mia got up and started to walk to their rooms.
