Life and Death: Circle of Fire
By Dragoon of Jade
Note: I only got five reviews for the last chapter, if that happens again I refuse to write the next chapter because everyone whines that they want to see the next chapter and finally I post it and only FIVE freakin' people review…I'm pissed but I will write the next chapter for the five people who did review. (You have now officially seen my evil side and I can become a lot worse)

Usagi dashed and hugged the dark green haired woman.
"It's been a long time Usagi-chan" Pluto said.
Then there was a loud creaking, and a marble door opened, leading to a darkened room. Usagi and Pluto (I will just call the scouts by there respective planets…the ones that return that is) turned to look, Cye then walked over to Usagi.
"Are you okay?" He asked quickly
"I'm fine…how about you?" Usagi questioned.
"I'm okay, now I think we should continue…but I'm not sure we can take on the other warlords by ourselves, Usagi" Cye said.
"Don't worry, they'll catch up soon enough" Miko said in a monotone.
The three Ronins turned around to see the cloaked figure. Usagi stepped back and Pluto took a defensive position infront of her, Cye then did the same thing.
"What? I saved you from Dais, do you think I would really waste my time trying to save you if Dais could've killed you for me?" Miko said, to Cye and Pluto.
"I want some answers Miko…" Usagi said demandingly moving infront of her two protectors.

Sabreil jumped with excitement, she had not had a mission to the living world in about a century or so.
"Thanks you Veggie-chan!" Sabreil said disappearing in a tornado of flames.

Kento, Rowen, and Sage were in the living room, with Mia and Yuli was already asleep. They were discussing how they would get into the Dynasty's castle.
"I think we should just charge the castle and crush Talpa and the Dynasty!" Kento hollered.
"That isn't very wise now is it?" Sage said, "The Dynasty would be able to build enough defenses by the time we even got close to the castle! Think Kento, use that pea sized brain of yours!"
"Hey! Who are you calling stupid?!" Kento yelled back.
Sage began to chuckle, which raised Kento's blood pressure past boiling. Kento was about to beat the crap out of Sage but Rowen interfered.
"Both of you grow up!" Rowen barked.
"Now, we have to concentrate on how to get into the castle and try to avoid the defenses around the castle" Mia said.
Then there was a spiral of flames, this display of fire halted the remaining Ronins and Mia. Then once the flames disappeared all that was left was a woman in about her twenties with short black hair and cheerful blue eyes. She was wearing a black t-shirt, and a pair of blue bellbottoms. Around her waist was a scabbard, which held a board sword.
"Who the hell are you?!" Kento yelled.
"My name is Sabreil, I'm the goddess of Fire and the keeper of the gate to Hell and I am here to bring you to the Dynasty Castle."
"That's convenient" Kento said plainly.
"I sense you aren't human…and you have a dark aura around you" Sage said.
"ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME!? I JUST TOLD YOU I'M THE GODDESS OF FIRE DAUGHTER OF HADES KEEPER OF THE GATE TO HELL, BAKA!" She shouted at Sage.
"Well that would explain the aura, and the spiral of flames…" Rowen said.
"Now transform into your armors and prepare for a dimension warp," Sabreil said unsheathing her sword.
After transforming, Sabreil sliced her swords in the thin air and it oddly create a rip…in the air (hard to explain but if you ever seen Yu Yu Hakusho it has the same ability has Kuwabara's dimensional sword) then the three Ronins felt their bodies being sucked into the portal.

Miko had finished explaining everything to Usagi, but still was able to keep Usagi's true past a secret.
"So I'm a ghost?" Usagi questioned.
"No, you're as much as living as any other human on this planet." Miko said, "It's just that's once your sentence here on earth is up you will return to the in quotes "other dimension" as you call it."
Cye felt a pain in his chest once he heard Miko said that. He couldn't tell why though, he contemplated if he really did have feelings for Usagi…then it clicked. He loved her. He had only met her a few hours ago and everything went so fast but she was an angel from heaven and he knew in his heart he loved her…he had to do something…
"Is there anyway to keep Usagi in the living world?" Cye questioned Miko, who gave him a shocked look.
"The only way to keep Usagi in the living dimension is true love, not even death can separate true love…" Miko said with a sigh, her eyes wondered off and became glassy, but she quickly wiped her eyes and returned to reality.
Usagi looked at Miko with sympathy, but knew not to comfort her or it would break Miko's pride…so she turned to Cye.
"Why'd you ask Cye?" Usagi questioned her friend…
"I just wanted to know…that's all" Cye said with a look of confusion on his face.
"Okay…" Usagi then began to venture through the cement door.
Usagi pondered the thought, that Cye liked her…but that was stupid, she had only met him today, and known him for about eight hours, but she felt something special about him. He was so gentle and calming…she could quite put her finger on it, then it clicked…She loved him…how ridiculous, he probably doesn't care about her…but maybe just maybe there was hope…
