"You called me mistress?"
Luana asked.
"Luana, were friends right?"
She rolled her eyes, "Yes
mistress."
"Then please call me Vanessa.
I haven't heard anyone call me by my name for what seems like an eternity."
"As you wish miss…, I mean
Vanessa."
"Thank you. Now on to more
important matters. Has the escapee been found as of yet?"
"No. The boy had seemed to
just vanish."
"Has Bri said anything about
his where-abouts?"
"No. All she has said was
he hit her down stole her black robe and then jumped out the window
and took off."
"If that boy isn't found,
he'll run right to King Jinen of Justice and tell him our location.
Go to Lord Gureg and tell him to start moving the troops at the rate
of 10 leagues a day. And send out another party to look for that blasted
boy!"
"Yes Vanessa. As you wish."
*~*~*~*
"So your Lily of Nebula? How
do we know your not lying?" Ryo asked suspiciously.
"Do you really think that
I would know all of your names, kanjis and sure kills if I wasn't?"
"No….but, oh man. So we now
have three girl Ronins. And only two more to find?" Kento asked looking
at Adela.
"I guess. Didn't all of you
have the dreams too?"
"Yeah. Forgot about them."
"Hello Sage. Here hold my
bags for a moment." Lily told to the blonde boy who had just entered
the room. She tossed the bags to the startled boy who tried to catch
them. She opened the decorated box and pulled out the transformation
orb with the kanji of Solemnity.
"Well, your nothing but solemn.
Are you sure that's yours?" Rowen asked.
"Yes it's mine, Blue. Who
else's would it be? It's not like I could kill the Ronin and take it
from them."
"Blue?" Cye asked.
"Well, he's the only one with
blue hair I've ever seen. Blue I think is a fitting name. You can give
me my bags back now Sage."
Grumbling to himself, Sage
handed her the bags.
"Why thank you dear. Your
such a nice boy." She said to him patting his cheek with one thin hand.
Then, the two could hear quite clearly a click and then a dry voice
saying
Done
"Did you say something?" Lily
asked him.
"No. Did you hear it too?"
"Yeah. Weird."
"Will you two be quiet? Were
trying to figure out what to do about dinner." Mia said irritably.
"Why don't we go out? We should
celebrate. We have three new Ronins!" Kento suggested.
"Sure, why not? Do we all
agree?" Cye asked looking at all of them.
"Yes, but fancy eat or McDonalds
eat?" Adela asked.
"How about club eat." Mia
said.
"Well, then we have to stop
at my apartment. I really don't think leggings are appropriate wear
for a club."
"Alright. We stop at Kyoto
and on to Sin Drome." Rowen said.
"Where?" Lily asked him.
"It's a club. But it's for
food and dancing. Most people dress in club clothes. So, let's go get
ready!"
*~*~*~*
"How does this look?" Adela
asked Mia and Lily.
"It looks fine." The both
replied.
"Does it look to flashy?"
"Not for a club." Lily told
her.
"Does it show to much skin?"
"Adela, look at me. Now look
at you. Does t look like you show too much skin. No. Now hurry up or
we wont to eat until midnight."
"Okay, just let me find the
other shoe for this outfit. Oh wait. Never mind, I have a permanent
show for 3 weeks. Okay, can each of you grab a bag?"
"Sure." Lily replied.
The three girls pulled on
their coats and grabbed a bag. They all smiled inwardly, because they
knew the impact their clothes would have on the 5 guys. They had been
especially careful not to let the boys see their outfits when they were
still at Mia's, all but Adela that is, who had only just now gotten
her outfit. Adela had so much clothes that it took 5 bags to put it
all in, and she had refused to leave any behind.
"Rowen, Kento, can you two
please go into my bedroom and bring out a bag." Adela asked them, struggling
to hold the bag and not fall down. Sage came to her rescue and took
the bag before she collapsed. Back in Adela's room, Kento and Rowen
were deciding who got what bag. One held her undies and the other held
her shirts.
"Well I think you should
carry her bras, you've had more experience with them." Kento snickered.
"Shut up." He mumbled but
he picked them up anyway. "Aren't
you ever gonna let that go?"
"Probably not." Kento laughed.
"Come on, come on let's go!"
Lily was yelling, when they got outside. She was in the car leaning
half way out, swinging her arms around in the air.
"Were coming. Hold your horses."
Kento groaned as he dumped the bag into the back of Cye's Neon. They
had to take two cars, even though Mia's new Suburban could fit 7. Mia,
Ryo, Rowen, Adela, Sage and Lily went with Mia, and Cye, Kento and went
in the Neon. They arrived at Sin Drome in about 15 minutes and were
seated near the stage and dance floor.
Mia, Lily and Adela took off
their coats, to reveal their well though out plan. Adela wore a no sleeve
shirt that was black and blue tiger print that showed off her belly.
Her black mini skirt had a slit in it and she wore a pair of sandals
that perfectly matched her shirt. Mia wore a green shirt that was cut
so that it was at an angle that showed off her left shoulder and stomach.
Her jean skirt had a small fringe and a green stripe that matched the
green in the shirt. Her platform shoes matched as well. Lily wore a
tube top shirt that was fire engine red with a black dragon coiled on
the front. Although it didn't show off her stomach, her mini skirt made
up for the lack of skin. It was the same color red as her shirt and
had black lines running downward on it. She wore a pair of plats that
looked well with the out fit. The only problem with the 3 of them was
Adela's cast, which made her sort of taller on one side.
The reaction was about what
they expected. They had 5 pairs of bulging eyes staring at them and
10 hands clenching the edge of the table. The 3 of them went about their
business as if they didn't see the 5 guys mooning over them, and after
the boys regained sanity, they hoped that the girls didn't see them
go gaga over them.
"What do you all want to
eat?" A waitress asked them. She had long brown hair and an old fashioned
crop top. Her skirt had stripes, and all together, it matched poorly.
"Umm…. Do you have anything
with out meat in it?" Lily asked.
"We have salads. Tossed, Caesar
and Spinach."
"Um… Caesar."
"Okay. I'll be back in about
20 minutes."
"Isn't she just a bucket
full of sunshine?" Kento noted.
"Yeah really." Adela murmured.
"Are you a veggie?" Rowen
asked Lily.
"Not really, I don't eat any
red meat though."
"Okay."
"How often do you guys come
here?" Adela asked.
"Not very. We just kind of"
"Okay every one." The bar
tender said, standing up on a stool, interupting Sage. She had wild
pink hair and a black and white shirt that looked sort of like Whiteblaze.
She wore a skirt similar to the one that Adela was wearing. "Circe will
be singing now, so hush up. She doesn't like noise whilst she's cranking
out them tunes."
The girl who walked up on
stage had green eyes and red hair that almost perfectly matched the
red shirt and red and black shirt she wore. She was gorgeous, almost
no blemishes on her and her hair shone brightly.
"Hey all, I'm singing country
tonight. It's a little song called Wild One."
She walked around the stage
until she had reached the mike and then walked over to the center, right
in front of the 8 Ronins.
"They said change your clothes,
she said no I wont. They said comb your hair, she said some kids don't
and her parents' dreams went up in smoke.
They said you cant leave,
she said yes I will. They said don't see him, she said his name is Bill.
She's on a roll and it's all uphill.
She's a wild one with an angels
face. She's a woman-child in a state of grace. When she was three years
old on her Daddy's knee he said you can be anything you want to be.
She's a wild one runnin' free.
She loves rock and roll; they
say its Satan's tongue. She thinks they're too old, they think she is
too young. The battle lines are clearly drawn.
She's a wild one with an angels
face. She's a woman-child in a state of grace. When she was three years
old on her Daddy's knee he said you can be anything you want to be.
She's a wild one runnin' free.
She has future plans and dreams
at night, when they tell her life is hard she says that's all right.
She's a wild one with an angels
face. She's a woman-child in a state of grace. When she was three years
old on her Daddy's knee he said you can be anything you want to be.
She's a wild one runnin' free."
And with that, the girl walked
off stage and to the bar, not even waiting for the applause. She grabbed
the platter that held the Ronin's food and made her way to their table.
She put the food in their respected places and then sat down next to
Kento.
"Hello. As I understand it,
you all are the Ronin's right?"
"Geez, finding these girl
Ronin's is easier than I thought." Sage murmured.
"Yeah, that's because they're
trying to find you. You could probably stand still in the middle of
a forest and they'd find you."
"Who are you?" Mia asked her.
"I'm Circe of Fern with the
kanji of Honor. And if you don't stop staring at me I'll rip out your
eyeballs and stick them in your drink Hardrock." She said closing her
eyes hard concentrating hard. "Itch" She murmured and let her will go.
She giggled slightly as she watched Kento squirm trying to scratch in
the exact center of the back that no one can ever reach.
"What did you do that for?"
He exclaimed as Adela scratched the spot for him.
"Stop." She murmured and the
itching stopped. "Because you bug me."
The music in the room changed
from the super up-beat song to a slow one with small acoustic notes
that sounded like rain. The song was We're A Miracle by Christina Aguilera.
It was one of Mia's favorites. She jumped up and said,
"One of you guys dance with
me!"
Kento, Cye, Rowen and Sage
declined, waiting for Ryo to say all right. They knew how he felt about
her, and they suspected that she felt at least a little closer to him.
They made their way out on the dance floor, with Adela, Lily and Circe
looking at them with whimsical eyes. Lily finally couldn't stand it
anymore.
"Sage, come on!" She ordered
him sounding a bit exaperated. She grabbed his hand and led him out
onto the floor as well, with Sage looking not very sure of himself.
"Adela, would you like to
dance?" Rowen asked looking at the green-eyed girl.
"I thought you'd never ask."
She said smiling.
After about half of the song
was over when Circe finally spoke up. "Aren't you going to ask me to
dance Hardrock?"
"No."
"NO?" She yelled, her voice
climbing a few octaves. "Why?"
"Because you bug me."
