Chapter 2: Distractions, distractions
Wings of pure white
Wings that take flight
May they go
Fly
And never fall
Fly, Fly away
Into the Starry Night
A child is born
A babe
An infant
Grown up fast
Never knowing why She was made
Beautiful and Kind
But brilliant in mind
Always wondering
Always looking at the Stars
Always wondering why they were so far
"...soon..." She said
"....soon...soon..."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Mia..."
'...what does it mean...?'
"Mia...?"
'...why does that poem seem so...familiar...?'
A hand came down to rest on Mia Koji's shoulder, startling the woman a bit. Turning around, she met a pair of midnight blue eyes hidden behind a strand of blue. His eyes reflected the stratosphere under the heaven's sky, showing a darkened night sky. The woman smiled at him,
"Ohayo, Rowen." She greeted with a smiled, which turned into a smirk,
"I'm surprised you woke up on your own. Especially this early."
"...ha ha ha...very funny, Mia." Rowen Hashiba said flatly in his New York accent, clearly showing that her teasing does not amuse him. But then gave her a sleepy smile,
"Did you sleep well, Mia?" He asked.
Mia's eyes darkened over a bit, but then pushed the feeling away, trying hard not to let Rowen see what occupied her mind and gave the blue haired teenage boy a fake smile,
"Oh, I slept like a baby." She replied,
"I'll go make breakfast now. Wake the others for me Rowen."
And with that, she turned around and got some pans from the cabinets, her smile faded to a frown, '...oh, no...I told a lie...but it's the only way to not let my friends know about the long nights I've spent awake and doing research on my Grandfather's data...and that poem.'
"Okay." Rowen nodded and made his way to the kitchen door, patting the tiger, White Blaze, lightly on the head as a greeting as his long legs carried him to the door before stopping and turning his head slightly in the woman's direction. Rowen's eyes became a bit dark at the figure,
'...what is it, Mia...? Why are you acting so strangely...? Lately, you've been looking drained for the past few weeks...ever since...' Rowen shook his head to clear images that crept into his head that were from the past, '...ugh...I don't even wanna think about that demon.Talpa was a baka!' The Ronin Warrior of the Strata, smiled sadly at the figure's back, 'I hope that you'll pull through this soon...Mi...Your getting all of us worried...' He grinned and turned away to walk out the kitchen door, '...especially Ryo. I swear. That hotheaded guy is practically pulling his hair out over your condition...and is chewing the rest of us after we talked to you. Asking if you said the problem to this predicament...' He chuckled quietly and walked up the dark blue carpeted stairs silently.
White Blaze just sat there, watching the scene that played before his dark brown eyes, slowly studying each word, each sound, each tone, each movement. The white tiger thought hard.
In his mind was a mixture of complexity and understanding, feelings and planning. White Blaze then watched the auburn haired human intently, shifting his gaze from the door and back. He then trotted to the back door and scratched the door lightly with his sharp, black claws, making sure that they didn't leave big marks.
Mia heard a light scratch and a soft low growl. Turning her head slightly in White Blaze's direction, her eyes looking a bit distant and distracted. Another growl had brought her back to the reality she knew so well. Then walked slowly to the door, turning the cold, bronze metal until a click sounded through out the stilled kitchen. The door swung open slightly, enough for the tiger to slip out and in to the winter morning.
Closing the white door, Mia walked back to her previous position and proceeded to do the task of making food for her household friends. She didn't feel like eating this morning, so she wouldn't be joining them at the table. Absently, she raised her darkened; grayish, blue eyes to the window that viewed the outside snow covered world. Slowly watching White Blaze bound off up and over the powdery hills and into the bare, but snow clustered forest that lead to the mountains, '...I wish I knew, White Blaze...I wish I knew...'
Then, all was still. And all that Mia could see was the drifting white flakes floating down from the cloudy, gray sky.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The aroma of food cooking drifted up the stairs and into the occupied rooms on the second floor, slowly waking the persons who were still asleep.
Rowen Haishiba quietly as possible, passed by the first room. Knowing well that the loud snoring that came from inside the room told him that he was safe for now. And then, just when he was about to completely pass the door, he suddenly found himself up against the wall with a hard thud, the wooden door at his back. His face smashed in between. A sudden thundering was heard through out the house as a holler said,
"FOOD!!!!!!!" And the thunder went bounding down the stairs. (A/N: Guess who? ()
"Typical. I knew I wouldn't make it passed THAT." Rowen muttered to himself, cradling his smushed cheeks in pain. He then pushed himself from the wall and proceeded to do what was asked, but not until he got a look at his face in the bathroom first, to see if anything had been bruised. 'This is stupid. I can get crushed and beaten in the Dynasty, get tossed around like a rag doll and still not get a bruise. But how can it compete with the over-sized Ronin of Hard Rock?' Rowen thought as he came to a closed bathroom door.
"Awww...geeze. I'm too late." He groaned and knocked on the door,
"Just how LONG have you been up, Sage?" Rowen asked the occupant of the bathroom.
"Oh, a couple of hours ago. A guy has to be prepared for anything!" Came the reply of Sage Date, Ronin Warrior of the Halo.
Rowen face faulted to the ground,
"2 hours!? Sage no baka! There are other people who need the bathroom ya know!"
There was silence for a few moments as Rowen straighten himself up as the door opened to reveal a blonde teenage boy that had his bangs covering on violet eye. He had a well-toned body, but this morning he didn't have a shirt on, so his chest was exposed to the chilly air.
(^-^ swoon, girls, swoon! :P) Rowen huffed,
"Took ya long enough."
Sage glared icily at him,
"Well, excuse me!" He replied, signaling that he was in a grouchy mood. Rowen just rolled his eyes at him,
"Whatever. Anyways, Mia told me to come and get you guys to come down for breakfast."
Sage registered that and smirked at the blue haired boy,
"And from what I heard just a while ago, someone got to you first." The blonde chuckled a bit before walking into his room that he shared with Rowen and shut the door to change. Ignoring the small glare casted his way.
"Ohayo, Rowen. How ar' you on this frost bitten' day?" A British voice asked cheerfully besides Rowen, who turned his head in that direction, a smile spreading on his face,
"Ohayo, Sai. I'm fine. Although I got pulverized by our so-called bottomless pit." Rowen replied to the light brown haired, aqua eyed British. Sai Mouri was his name. The Ronin Warrior of the Torrent. The calm and kindhearted one. Although he also had a well toned body of his own. Sai smiled brightly at the other boy,
"I heard. With his loud snorin', I don' think I got a wink of sleep." Sai chuckled at bit.
"Come on, Sai. Mia asked me to get you guys up for breakfast." Rowen held his smile as he walked down the stairs with Sai following him.
"Rowen. Shou'nt we wake Ryo?" Sai asked his blue haired friend beside him.
"Nah. Knowin' him, he's already up. Hearin' the little incident earlier, who could sleep through that?" Rowen replied with a little grimace, remembering the feeling when the door hit him. A light chuckle reached his ears,
"Guess your right. Funny," Sai said as they reached the bottom of the dark blue carpeted stairs and making there way to the kitchen, passing a blazed fire place, making the house repel against the cold, winter morning,
"I don' hea' a sing'l sound in the kitchen. You wou' hear a pan or somethin' hittin' our dear Kento by now." Sai said as he and Rowen peered in the kitchen through the doorway.
They gapped at the sight. They're sat an ash haired, bulky teenage boy with a bit of a cubby face, reading a chapter book with glasses! Not bothering the woman with auburn hair at the stove whom is cooking food. The boy didn't notice them at the door, seemingly too interested in the book that lay gently in his hands. Kento Fuan!? The Ronin Warrior Of Hard Rock!? Reading!?
'Is Kento running a fever!? Is he really reading a BOOK!? On his own!?' Rowen thought with mid-night eyes bulging out of his sockets.
(A/N: In a matter of expression. You'd think it would? :P)
'Did the ol' chap crack his head and get amnesia!?' Sai thought, his eyes too bulged out.
Kento finally looked up and blinked before turning to them in the doorway. He was dressed in a loose orange sweater with long blue jeans. He smiled a bit at them shyly, a slight blush of embarrassment crept over his chubish face,
"Heh...ohayo?." Kento greeted the stunned and surprised Rowen and Sai who stumbled in as Kento quickly took his glasses off and putting a book mark in his book (A/N: ¾ through! :P)
"K-Kento, I didn't know you read!" Rowen cried out surprisingly. Sai nodded,
"And with glasses!" Sai put in.
Kento just grinned at their faces,
"Well, there's some things you know about me, and some things you don't." He coolly replied.
Mia Koji turned around and smiled at them, laughing half heartedly at the two's shocked faces. Just as a jet black haired teenage boy came strolling through the doorway, grinning at the site that played before his tiger blue eyes. But then wandered over to the woman with the smile he loved so much.
"Well, I'll be damned." Sai said jokingly with a slight smile and then sat down next to his child-hood friend in the wooden chairs. Rowen took the chair beside him. Just as the last of them strolled in coolly and sat down next to the blue haired genius,
"Ohayo, minna-san" Sage said as he smiled slightly at everyone. But letting his visible eye rest a little longer on Mia. He narrowed his violet eyes a little before turning away. Something was a miss in her.
"Breakfast will be ready in a few minutes everyone. " Mia announced before turning back to the stove to proceed with cooking, her auburn hair swishing slightly. She shivered a bit. Even with her white sweater and long jeans on, it still was chilly.
Ryo watched her. His tiger blue eyes seemed distracted by Mia's pools of blue. They seemed distant in a tired shade of gray. He sat down and continued to watch her movements, his mind in deep thought, 'Something is different about you, Mia...why won't you tell us what it is?'
Ryo's eyes grew a bit sad, 'Why won't you tell me...?' he then regained his posture when Mia strolled over with plates of bacon, eggs, toast and waffles. All nice and hot.
Kento licked his lips hungrily at the site, already leaning over the table to grab two waffles as soon as she set the plates down. When Mia did, he started to grab and stuff his mouth greedily with food. His male comrades showing signs of disgust as they hurriedly grabbed some on their own to put on their plates.
"Hey, Kento! Save some for us!" Sage cried to the Ronin of Hard Rock, covering his plate from the bottomless pit's greedy hands that groped at the others plates.
Mia paid hardly any attention as she grabbed a jacket next to the kitchen doorway. Put on her pale yellow boots and headed for the back door. Turned the bronze knob and walked out, shutting the door quietly. Not seeing the tiger blue eyes watching her in concern.
