Ryo Sanada. A warrior that is spiritually linked to the armor of wildfire through his Jin of virtue. Orphaned as a child, Ryo had never gotten over the fact that his father was killed by a wild animal. And to know that in one week, it would be the anniversary of his death.

"Hey Ryo! Time to get up! The sun's out! come- huh? Yo Ryo! you alright?" Ryo sat up in bed staring outside the window. "You who!? RYO!? YOU IN THERE!?" Kento knocked on Ryo's head and all of a sudden he snapped out of his trance.

"Huh? oh?! sorry Kento! just thinkin' about stuff. Guess I went out of it! Uh, I'll be down in a minute k?" Kento turned around and started to walk away and then he turned back.

"You sure you're alright Ryo?"

"Yeah, gimme a minute, I just have a slight headache..... I'm sure it'll be gone in a little bit though." Ryo smiled and continued to look out the window as his smile faded away. Kento walked out the door and shut it behind him.

As Kento walked out the front door, Cye shouted out above the noise the other two men were making.

"KENTO! WATCH OUT!!!" Kento turned around and grabbed the ball hard popping it instantly.

"OH!!! COME ON KENTO!?!? THAT'S THE THIRD BALL YOU'VE POPPED THIS WEEK!!!!" Cye, Rowen, and Sage ran up to Kento and started hitting him in the head as he smiled and laughed.

"SO WHAT'S SO FUNNY KENTO?!" Sage said with his eyebrows cocked downward and his eyes closed.

"YEAH KENTO?!" Cye said hitting him one last time with his fist.

"I have a good sense to hit you in the balls with my Datchi Kento! I HATE it when you do that! And I'm SURE that everyone else does too!" Sage reached for his datchi just as Kento held out his hands to stop him.

"OKAY OKAY!! I'M SORRY!!!! Hey Cye! can you make me some food?! I'm hungry!"

"WHAT!!?? ALREADY!? YOU JUST ATE AN HOUR AGO!!!! I SWEAR KENTO! YOU HAVE FOUR STOMACHES!!!! AT LEAST FIVE AT THE MAXIMUM!!!!" Kento glared at Cye. "Fine! I never asked for an insult! GEESH! I'll just go and make something myself!"

"NO!!!!!" the three said in unison.

"Uh Kento....On second thought! WHY DON'T I GO AND MAKE YOU SOMETHING AFTER ALL!?" Cye raced in front of Kento to the kitchen.

"I SAID, I CAN DO IT MYSELF CYE! I'M NOT HANDICAPED!!!!" Kento tried to push Cye out of the way but he got ahead of him.

"CYE!?!" The two raced to the kitchen with Sage and Rowen following closely behind them.

"HURRY CYE!!!! DON'T LET HIM COOK!!!!" Rowen said yelling after them. They all got to the kitchen and started arguing.

"WHAT'S SO BAD ABOUT ME COOKING YOU GUYS?!"

"HA! WHAT'S SO BAD?! WHAT'S SO BAD?!?! Do you remember LAST time we let you cook?" Kento closed his eyes trying to remember.

"Nope."

"Well, let me remind you! LAST time we let you cook, you burned half the house down!!!!" Cye said holding his arms out widely.

"YEAH WELL- OH NEVER MIND!!!! THE POINT IS, I'M BETTER AT COOKING NOW!!!"

"WHAT!? THAT WAS JUST LAST WEEK!!!!" Sage looked at him not believing what he was hearing.

"SO!" Kento smirked. Ryo walked down the stairs with his hand on his head.

"Can you guys POSSIBLY be any louder!?" Ryo sat down on the chair and turned off the T.V.

"You alright Ryo?" Sage walked over to Ryo.

"I don't know.....I thought it was just a small headache, but it started to grow." Ryo sighed and lowered his eyelids.

"Rowen. Why don't you get Ryo the ice pack from the freezer? And Cye, can you fix him something to eat-"

"No.....I think if I eat I'm going to throw up." Ryo looked at Sage.

"I just need to sleep."
