            It had been one week since Ryo had passed away. The remaining Ronin Warriors had buried Ryo by the lake. They would visit the grave once in a while but everyone was upset, even Kento didn't eat. The Ronins were out of it…and while they grieved for the loss of their leader and close friend, the enemy was busy plotting.

            Bliss bowed before her master. Her blue hair fell infront of her face.

            "You have done well, child from another world" The eerie said, "You not only destroyed one of the annoying Ronin Warriors but it was the one of the Wildfire…but you failed to gain the armor and the Jewel of Life…"

            "Thank you Master Talpa and I will not fail in bringing you the armor or the Jewel of Life…" Bliss replied, her head still bowed, "I have another plan of attack to take out the other Ronin Warriors"

            "You may speak" Talpa replied.

            "Right now, the Ronin Warriors are grieving for the loss of Ryo of the Wildfire. They are in a weak state and not ready for an attack from the Dynasty…if we attack now we have greater chances to defeat the Ronin Warriors."

            "You may proceed…" Talpa told the warrior.

            With that Bliss turned around, and gathered the Dark Warriors and told them of her plans.

            Cye stared out of his bedroom window, it faced the lake. Cye looked at the setting sun, and he felt like dying.

            'It's all my fault…if I had done something…anything, he might have lived…'

            Cye felt tears come to his eyes. He tried not to cry, but he couldn't help it the tears fell freely. But suddenly he heard a distance whistling, it was coming from the sky. He looked up and saw what looked like a red and silver shooting star. But it was too early to see any stars; the star began to fall towards the lake. Cye jumped off of his balcony and ran towards the lake. The shooting star made compact with the lake sending a blinding light throughout the area. When it faded all that was left was a girl, who a levitating above the water. She had silverish-blond hair in two pigtails, and on the top of her head were two odangos. She was wearing a long flowing gown of white silk, which was trimmed in golden lace and from the looks of it she was unconscious. For some reason the girl, then fell into the water and began to drown. Cye then not thinking jumped into the lake to save the girl. He opened his eyes, and saw the girl sinking deeper, he made his best effort to swim towards her. Finally when he got a hold of her hand, he then noticed a golden crescent moon on the girl's forehead. He then began to swim to shore. Once he got there he pulled the girl to the bank, he checked her pulse that was fine but she wasn't breathing. Then he went a complete blank, what was he suppose to do? Then he saw Sage walking towards the lake.

            "SAGE!" Cye screamed.

            Sage looked at his friend and saw a body lying on the ground. He ran and Cye updated him on the girl's condition.

            "Alright I'll give her CPR, you just try to find something to cover her in." Sage ordered.

            Sage watched as Cye ran back to the house to get some towels. Then his gaze returned to the goddess who laid before him. He then returned to reality and began to give her CPR. And soon the girl began to cough up water. Cye came back with some towels, as the girl woke up. She looked at the two guys infront of her and then looked down at herself, and noticed that her outfit was clinging tightly to her body and since it was wet it was see through.

            "PERVERTS!" She hollered grabbing a towel from Cye.

            She wrapped the towel around her body and stared at the two guys.

            "Sorry miss…"

            "Who are you…" She said confused, "And who am I? Where am I?"

            Then girl then began to cry. Sage looked at her confused. Cye walked up to her and gave her a hug, and told her that everything was going to be okay. He didn't know why he was doing this…but he just didn't like to see her crying. She stopped crying and she sniffled once or twice, and stared at Cye. She smiled at him.

            "So you don't know who you are, am I correct?" Sage said coldly.

            "No…I don't…"

            "I have the perfect name for you!" Cye yelped, "Usagi!"

            "Usagi…that means bunny right?" Usagi replied, "But why would you name me Bunny?"

            "Well your hairstyle reminds me of a bunny, Usagi is a pretty name" Cye said.

            Usagi smiled again, and then began to shiver. Sage stilled didn't trust her, she had an odd aura surrounding her, she might be a trap from the Netherworld…Cye walked her into the house; Mia saw her and immediately gave Usagi a change of her clothes.

            Miko stared annoyed into the Crystal of Souls.

            "She's so lucky…she actually gets to walk in life when I'm stuck walking on the edge…" Miko said. She was wearing a long black cloak and was carrying her scythe on across her back.

            "Miko, you can't complain…you are very lucky also your immortal, you can never die" Veggie told the brunette.

            "But a life without love is no life at all"

            "Your not the only one who gave up a lover" Ginger said.

            "But you don't have to watch them living their life with another, and you are just a ghost…" Miko told them.

            "That's why I didn't fall in love…" Sabreil said, "I don't have to deal with this grief you have"

            "Shut-up all of you…" Veggie order, "We have work to do!"

            Miko then disappeared into a dark purple portal, Sabreil into a red one, Ginger into a white one, and Veggie into a black one.

            Bliss stood behind a gigantic oak, she had sent Dais to create an allusion of Ryo, so that she could retrieve the armor, once that was done her and Cale would go and kill the other Ronin warriors, and retrieve the Jewel of Life. Sehkmet would take care of any resistance, the plan was flawless. All she had to do was wait for Dais's signal.
