Kina looked over at him, oddly and sighed. "Men!" She threw up
her hands and plopped onto on of the soft leather couch folding her arms
and glaring playfully at them.
Alena allowed a small grin to form on her mouth before wiping the expression from her face. "To answer your question Rowen, we are the Lady Ronins. My name is Alena Washi, Senshi of Halo and guardian of Time. This is Bikia, the Eagle of Time my protector." She bowed slowly at the waist, coming up slowly so as no to cramp.
Nimako pushed herself off from the wall she had been leaning against and bowed slightly. "My name is Nimako Kinokia, Senshi of Strata and Guardian of Peace. This is Shina, fox of Peace. I am honored to meet you Ronin Warriors."
Ikono, looking just about pissed off, rose from the seat on the table; she nodded her head and spoke in a harsh tone. "Ikono Jaini, Senshi of Hardrock and Guardian of Battle Maidens. That is the Dingo of war, Luiki."
Kina didn't move or say anything so Alena looked over at her. The curly mop of crimson curls was bowed to her chest, her russet eyes closed in sleep. Alena smiled tenderly then moved over to pick her up and place her on the couch. She looked down on the younger girl with a love in her eyes that she wouldn't show to anyone else, at least not yet. She hardened her eyes again and turned back to face the astonished Ronins.
"My baby sister, Kinakio Whasien, Senshi of Torrent and Guardian of Devotion. And her noble protector Oren, panther of Devotion." Alena whispered softly and sighed, before her eyes widened and she gazed at Mia. "Don't you remember anything? Who you are? What you are?"
Mia looked mournfully back at her. "No, Alena-san, I don't. Will you tell me?"
Alena opened her mouth to say something when a voice lit inside her head, her eyes going unfocused.
: DON'T TELL HER!: the voice boomed racking her brains. : SHE MUST REMEMBER ON HER OWN!:
Alena held her head, and looked back at Mia. "I'm sorry Mia-san, but I can not tell you. You being who you are." The voice roared in her head and she gasped as the roar almost deafening her. "I can not tell you!" Alena told her harshly, rubbing her temples and glaring at Blaze.
: You didn't have to yell, you stupid Cat! : She screamed at him.
Blaze just turned his great head and looked off into the distance. Alena sighed and rose to her feet, She reached her arms over her head and heard a satisfying crack as her spine shifted back into place. She rolled her neck and flexed her small wings. "We'll leave now. Mia-san you have been far too generous so far.."
"Nonsense Alena-san! We have plenty of room here at the mansion. The Lady Ronins are welcome here as long as they wish to stay." Mia told her softly.
Alena's eyes got wide and she looked shocked. "Stay here with them?" She nodded her head at the Ronins who just kinda sat there staring at their female counterparts.
"Is there something wrong with that? Are you too good to live with them Alena-san?" Ikono demanded harshly, looking over at her.
"Mo it's not.. It's not that it's just." Alena looked away ashamed and then mumbled, "We accept your invitation Mia-san."
Mia looked pleased and nodded her head. Ryo beside her seemed to come out of a half-doze and stood up patting Blazes striped head. "Welcome to the family I guess." He shrugged and yawned then stopped and looked over at Kina's still form, "I'll take her up to my room." He moved over to lift Kina's slim figure into his arms, moving of up the stairs, Oren following him.
The Ladies tensed then relaxed knowing they had to trust the Ronins. They didn't have to like it, but they had to try.
Rowen cleared his throat then looked up at the girls. "Nimako-chan? Do you girls have anything at.wherever you were staying?"
Nimako looked at him strangely then grinned, "Wouldn't you like to know?" She rolled her eyes when he only looked at her and blinked. "Yeah, we've got some. stuff over at the .apartment." She kept picking and choosing her words carefully so she wouldn't slip and tell them what they had over at the apartment.
"Uh-huh. Well do you want a ride over there to pick it up?" Sage asked politely from the door.
"N.Alright." Alena told him, "Thank you Sage-san. Ikono, I need you and Nimako to stay here and watch over Kina and Mia."
Eyeing Rowen, Nimako grins and nods, Rowen looking rather uncomfortable. "Sure Alena. No problem at all.."
Ikono made a grunt that could have been, "Yeah go run off with hotshot." But Alena couldn't be sure.
So she shrugged and followed Sage out, Bikia lifting off from her tree to follow behind Sage's motorcycle. A/N: Thanks again to my reviewers and if ya'll have any ideas for where to take the story say so!!!! Harry I'll pick it up as soon as I get everything established so the PPS doesn't come after me. ^-~!
