"There's no way that woman that was on the phone my mother. She's dead and gone, no and's if's, or but's about it. I saw her die, I know I did." Kaye thought as she was looking out the livingroom window.
Kaye didn't notice that someone else entered the room. 'konnichiwa (hi) Kaye.' Lightning said as he saw her over at the window.
Lightning got no response, so he decided to try again. 'Kaye I said, konnichiwa (hi)." Lightning greeted a second time.
'konnichiwa (hi) Lightning. Sorry about that, I didn't mean to be rude.' Kaye replied apologetically as she turned away from the window and faced the tiger.
'No need to apologize. Kaye I know that something is wrong, so why don't you talk to me since you won't talk with Kento or the others. I can help you, but only if you let me.' Lightning said with concern.
Kaye waited for a few minutes before answering. 'Lightning, I don't know what you're talking about. Nothing's wrong, I'm fine.' Kaye replied.
'Come on Kaye, who are you trying to kid here? You're definately not fooling me, and you're for sure not fooling them, so talk.' Lightning said as the tiger looked her in the eyes.
"Kaye there you are, I've been looking for you." Mia replied as she came into the livingroom.
"Thank you." Kaye thought as she walked away from Lightning and over to Mia.
'Don't think that we're done with this conversation Kaye.' Lightning said as he looked towards them.
Kaye gave lightning a quick look and then turned her attention towards Mia. "What was all of that about?" Mia asked as she watched Lightning leave the room.
"Nothing. So Mia what's up?" Kaye asked as she quickly changed the subject.
"I have something to show you, come on!" Mia said as she grabbed for Kaye's hand and pulled her up the stairs.
"Mia, slow down would ya. Whatever you have to show me, I don't think that it's going to get up and walk away." Kaye said as she was trying not to trip on the stairs.
"Sorry about that Kaye, but this is something that can't wait. Besides if we don't hurry up we're going to be late." Mia replied as she opened up the door.
"Late? Late for what? Mia, you're not making any sense, and another thing where are the guys?" Kaye asked as she watch Mia race around her room.
"Where are they, I told Rowen to put them on the bed." Mia replied as she was throwing things around.
"Mia are these what you're looking for?" Kaye asked as she was holding up two boxes.
"Yea, they are thanks Kaye. One box is yours though. Come on open it already, I want to see your reaction when you see what's inside." Mia said as she waited for Kaye to open her box.
Kaye looked at Mia like she has lost her mind, she shook her head and opened the box. Kaye's eyes went wide with shock, inside of the box was the most beautiful dresses that she has ever seen. It was a black ankle length cheongsam, with a long slit on the left side that has etchings of silver tigers as well as silver dragons. "Mia, where did you get this?" Kaye asked as she took the dress out of the box.
"Hurry up and put it on, we don't want to keep the guys waiting. You know how impatient they can get." Mia replied as she was changing into hers.
"Mia would you please tell me what's going on around here?" Kaye asked as she finally changed into the dress.
"Sorry, but the guys made me promise that I wouldn't tell you." Mia replied as she finished changing.
"Mia, hold on a sec would ya? This whole deal, does it have to do with what happened last night? Please Mia, I have to know." Kaye asked as she looked over at her best friend.
"Well kind of, but not entirely. You see, Kento had this planned for a couple of weeks now, but I'm sure that they'll understand if you want to cancel. I can give them a quick call." Mia explained as she took her cell phone and started to dial.
"No Mia, please wait it's not necessary. You don't have to call them. I wouldn't want to disappoint the guys by not coming, especially since Kento took a long time to plan this." Kaye replied as she stopped Mia from dialing.
Mia grinned and put away her cell phone. "Well then let's get going. If we make the guys wait any longer, they'll probably send a search party looking for us." Mia said with a grin as she started towards the main floor.
"Yea you're probably right. But you still didn't tell me where we're going." Kaye replied as she followed Mia.
"Where did Cye put it." Mia said as she was now looking around in the livingroom.
"Mia, now what are you looking for?" Kaye asked as she entered.
"Here it is, alright Kaye you wanted to know where were going, then take this and hold onto it until we get there." Mia said as she grabbed for her keys and headed towards the door.
"Mia! Hey wait up!" Kaye yelled as she finally caught up with her.
"Be careful Kaye, I sense something that is very dangerous coming." Lightning thought as he watched Mia and Kaye drive off.
Meanwhile at Kento's family restaurant. "I don't believe my eyes, I think that I must be dreaming." Ryo said in amazement.
"Ryo what are you talking about?" Sage asked in confusion.
"Over there." Ryo replied as he motioned over to the window. Sage looked over to where Ryo was pointing and he couldn't believe what he was seeing either. Over by the window, Kento was pacing back and forth as if he was waiting for someone.
"Come on what could be taking them so long?" Kento said as he looked at his watch.
"Hey Kento, what's the deal?" Rowen asked as he noticed that Kento seemed worried about something.
"Huh, Rowen? Sorry man, I guess that I'm getting a little nervous. Mia and Kaye aren't here yet, I'm beginning to wonder if something happened." Kento explained.
"Relax already, I'm sure they're on there way here." Sage said as he tried to reassure him.
"Yea you're probably right Sage, ok I'm relaxed now, see." Kento replied with a small smile.
"Hey Kento when is your girlfriend going to be here?" Yun asked.
"Maybe she isn't coming, or maybe Kento made her up just so mama would close the restaurant." Mei Ryu teased.
"That's enough Mei Ryu! Kento doesn't need that from you, can't you see that he's nervous enough as it is. Now go into the kitchen and see if mama and Cye need any help in there." Rinfi said as she slapped the back of Mei Ryu's head.
Kento gave a thankful grin towards his sister, she nodded and walked over to the table so she could finish setting up.
Just then a vehicle pulled up into the parking lot. "They're here!" Kento exclaimed as he ran out to greet them. The guys shook their heads and followed him outside.
"Well we're here, and it looks like we have a welcoming committee." Mia said as she and Kaye got out of the jeep.
"Mind telling me what took ya so long?" Kento asked as he got to the jeep in record time.
"Sorry that we're late Kento, but if someone put the items where they should have been, then we would have been here sooner." Mia replied as she threw a glance at Rowen.
"It doesn't matter, you're here now so let's go inside. There are some people that I want you to meet." Kento said as he guided Kaye towards the restaurant.
"Hey everybody, they're here!" Kento yelled as they came inside.
"Kento you don't have to yell, we heard Mia's jeep pull up a few seconds ago. Ah hello, you must be Kaye, Kento has told us so much about you. Welcome to the Fuan family restaurant." mama Fuan said as she greeted Kaye.
"See, I told you that Kento wasn't making her up. Now pay up." Chun Fa whispered to Mei Ryu.
"You two actually made a bet that I was making up the fact that I have a girlfriend?" Kento asked as he blushed a little bit.
"Yea, but at least I believed ya when you told us." Chun Fa said as she gave him a big grin.
Kaye couldn't help but laugh. "Sorry about that Kento, but it is kind of funny once you think about it." Kaye said as she tried to stop. The others looked at each other and then they started to laugh as well.
"It's alright, now Kaye I would like to introduce to you mama Fuan, my pop Chan Faun, my sisters Rinfi, Chun Fa, my brothers Yun, Mei Ryu, and my grandpa." Kento said as he introduced his family.
"It's an honor to meet all of you. Thanks for the invitation to your beautiful restaurant, and this is for all of you." Kaye replied as she handed over the gift to mama Fuan.
"Thank you very much. Rinfi, take this and place it on the counter." mama Fuan said as she handed the gift to Rinfi.
"Yes mama." Rinfi replied as she placed it on the counter and rejoined them.
"Kaye you look, wow!" Kento said as she was taking off her coat.
"Thanks Kento." Kaye replied as she blushed while she hung up her coat on the rack.
"Kaye mind if I ask you a couple of questions." Mei Ryu said as a glint of mischief shown in his eyes.
"Mei Ryu, what are you up to?" Kento asked curiously.
"What makes you think that I'm up to anything big brother?" Mei Ryu asked innocently.
"It's ok Kento, no I don't mind, go ahead Mei Ryu, what did you want to know?" Kaye asked as she looked at him.
"Ok here goes, Kaye is my big brother a good kisser, and when do you two plan to get married?" Mei Ryu asked as he gave a really big smirk.
Kento and Kaye looked at each other and turned redder than Ryo's armor. "Mei Ryu, you better start running, because if I catch you, you are so going to get it." Kento said as he gave a warning look towards his little brother.
"Yipes! Bye." Mei Ryu said as he ran upstairs.
Just as Mei Ryu ran up the stairs, everyone else busted out laughing. While the people inside were laughing and having a good time, someone else was watching them from the outside. "Karasu (Raven), soon we'll be together again my daughter, and then no one, not Taka (Falcon), or anyone else will be able to separate us ever again." Imita said under her breath as she kept her eyes on Kaye.
"Imita, it's almost time. Are you ready?" Taka (Falcon) asked as he appeared beside her.
"Yes my lord, I'm ready. When they are about to leave, then that will be the time that I'll strike. You don't have to worry, I know what I have to do." Imita replied as she bowed to him.
"Oh I'm not worried Imita, I know that you won't fail me." Taka (Falcon) said as he disappeared.
Back inside, everyone just got done eating a great feast that was prepared by mama Fuan and Cye. "That was definately one of the best meals that I've had in a long time." Kento said as he leaned back in his chair.
"Kento! What have I told you about leaning back in the chair? One of these days you're going to fall backwards and land on the floor. Now sit up!" mama Fuan said as she scolded her son.
"Yes mama." Kento replied as he sat back up.
"Kaye it looks like you're going to have your work cut out for ya. Are you sure that you still want to be with him?" Cye asked mischievously.
"I agree with Cye, it's going to be a full-time job taking care of Kento." Rowen said as he grinned.
"Hey!" Kento replied as he looked at both of them.
Kaye started to giggle, "I don't think it's going to be that hard, besides if things get too complicated, I can always ask mama Fuan for help." Kaye said as she gave a wink.
"Kaye, I have a question for you, that is if you don't mind me asking." mama Fuan said as she looked over to her.
Kaye shook her head, showing that she had no objection and then gave mama Fuan her full attention. "Kento told us about a particular phone call that you got last night that really upsetted you. I was wondering if you would talk about it?" mama Fuan asked as she looked over at Kaye with concern.
The room suddenly became quiet. Kaye looked down to avoid any eye contact with anyone. She was gripping her hands so tight, that her knuckles were turning white. Tears were threatening to fall, but she wouldn't let them. Then Kaye took a few deep breaths so she would calm herself. "I guess there's no point in avoiding this any more. I knew that I would have to talk about this sooner or later. I'll tell you what I remember, but that's all I can do." Kaye replied quietly as she prepared herself.
Kento laid his hand gently onto Kaye's shoulder. "Kaye you don't have to talk about it if you don't want to, there's no pressure." Kento said quietly.
Kaye slowly raised her head and looked at him with eyes that showed a mixture of emotions ranging from sadness, to frustration, and finally anger. But the anger wasn't towards Kento for telling his family about what happened last night. The anger was towards the fact that she was helpless to save her mother. Kaye then looked around, she saw that everyone had their attention fully onto her as she began to tell her story.
"It happened when I was very young. This was just before Mia and I became friends, and just as I found out that I'm a dream walker. Anyway, it was during a really bad snow storm, like the one that we had last night. Out of nowhere we were attacked. It seemed like these people were born to be killers, they had no regard for anyone's life. If someone got in their way, they would just slash them and move on. People were screaming and running as they were trying to get away from the invaders. At the time, I barely understood what was happening. I was wondering why, why would they just come here and kill people for no reason. As I was running from building to building trying to find my family, someone attacked me from behind, and I fell down to the ground. The person thought that I was dead and left me. A few minutes passed by, and I was coming to. Slowly I got up from the ground, and continued to look for my family. I couldn't find anyone, then just as I turned the corner I saw my mother. She was fighting against the one who attacked me. I started to run towards her, but just before I got there, the person that attacked me stabbed her, and she was dead." Kaye explained as she again lowered her head and closed her eyes.
"Kaye, you don't have to say any more if you don't want to." Mia said quietly.
Kaye shook her head no, and then waited a few minutes before continuing. "I stopped dead in my tracks, staring at my mother's corpse. Fear suddenly took hold of my entire body, and I couldn't move. The killer took his sword out of my mother's corpse, and then looked at me and smiled. He started to come at me, I finally snapped out of it and I wanted to run. But before I could take a few steps, I heard something behind me starting to break, and then I fell through the boards. The killer thought that I was good as dead, so he decided to just leave me there. A few hours passed, and a small group of travelers came by. They were just about to leave until I finally decided to yell out for help. They ran over to where I fell in and pulled me out. They tried to get me to tell them what happened, but I couldn't. So they decided to take me into their group and raise me themselves. I only stayed with them for about a year, and then I started to travel on my own. Then I met Mia, and we became very close friends. Then a couple years later, I met up with Mia again, and then she introduced me to the guys. That's all I remember, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ruin everyone's good time. I think that I better go." Kaye said as she began to slowly get up from her chair.
"There's no way that woman that was on the phone my mother. She's dead and gone, no and's if's, or but's about it. I saw her die, I know I did." Kaye thought as she was looking out the livingroom window.
