"The moment you have all been waiting for. Finnally getting a hold of an update."

"Grins wildly at his idea, "Why not make her write three more chapters while she's at it for leaving you all in suspence?"

But i do apoligize for the long wait, and i'll try to have three more chapters up. Thank ya for reviewin and suportin, i apreciate it." Hands out Ronin warrior stuffed plushies.

-Flash back-
Mr Sanada stared down at his son with caring eyes, rufling Ryo's black locks, "Son, i'm going on another expedition, unfortunetly i can't bring you with me, but i promise i'll be back soon." Young Ryo looked at his father with wide innocent tiger eyes, but he nodded and smiled at his dad sadly, "Okay dad. Dad?" Mr. Sanada looked down at Chibi Ryo again, "Yes Ryo?" Ryo hugged his dad lovingly, "Promise you'll come back?"
The older man grinned, and pulled his son into a bear hug, "I promise i'll come back, Ryo." The young boy watched his father gather his stuff and walk out, glancing back at his son warily, before leaving in his car. Ryo sighed, sitting on the couch, sitting cross leged, turning on the tv, he looked for something to watch to entertain his boredrum.
Something nagged at him annoyingly, but he only brushed it off. It was so quiet..he missed his mom dearly..she had died when he was young, so he was left with his father who tried his best to be the mother and the father. He understood how hard it was on his father, but he diden't know how he could help. He was left in a cabin all by his lonesome self, in the woods, and the fridgerator was not much filled with food to keep him from starving, but it would have to do for now untill his dad came back.
His dad would be gone for at least a week, days had gone by..not a word had come from him. Ryo Sanada grew worried, as the days had gone by, it had gone over a week, he waited on the last day of the week by the door for his father. To his dissapointment, nobody came in. He continued to wait though, thinking his dad would walk in and embrace him happily, but that never came. The warming smile slid off his face, something was wrong,..he just knew it. The next day he had done the same as the day before, just waiting for his father's return, only awaiting disapointment.
Slowly walking outside, he looked high and low, left and right, not a sign of him. Ryo walked deeper into the heart of the woods, spotiing drops of blood, sometimes large blood stains on the ground. He stoped in his tracks once he found a form covered in wounds and blood from head to toe, torn up badly and suffering with death. The body raced over quickly, "Sir?? Sir are you alright?" That was a dumb question, but what else could he have asked at this time? He took a good look at the man's face, it was his father's face without a question.
Sanada Ryo cried out in horror,anger and shock, this coulden't be so! How could this have happend to his father? He was the only blood relative he had left. Gently shaking his dad, he checked for a pulse which he had been taught playing doctor. No response had came, no pulse beat, his heart wasn't even beating. Mr. Sanada must have been out here for more then a day. A low howl of a cat growl brought Ryo to his senses, the wild cat jumped out from the shadows, showing it's teeth and getting ready to pounce on the kid. Gasping, eyes wide, the corpse's son backed away from the angry tiger with furious eyes and chapping lips. This was not good, he would suffer the same fate his father had,he would die.
Out of the blue, a large White tiger thundered down on the cat, biting it's neck harshly, the fight had begun. Brown eyes met green, then in lightning speed they attacked each other, wounding every part of each other. The white tiger sunk his teeth into the same wound he had made before, blood oozing from the wound only to be bitten in the side, the tiger shook it's head wildly, slamming it's large paw onto the other's head and digging it's nails into the black fur.
Ryo watched, tense muscles and teary eyes, things just got worse by the minute, why were they fighting over him? What had he done to deserve this treatment? He though miserable, 'Either way i'm going to die no matter which way i put it.' The whole world felt like it was crashing down on this raven haired kid, and it hurt so much it was unbearable. Closing tiger blue eyes, waiting to be killed like his father and not being able to bear the site of watching the tigers.
The war between the two angry tigers raged on, one drawing blood on each other's bodies and having advantages and disaventages over each other, but neither even wavered to look at the child. The white tiger dodged to the side, raming it's shoulder into the other's shoulder, he watched as the other staggered back with it's mouth dripping with warm blood. Baring their teeth at each other, the other attacked, hoping to get a hold of the white one's leg but failing. The black tiger was knocked down with a new wound clear on it's riped ear. Teeth clashed, bodies fell with a flash, but getting up and continuing the war non the less.
But thankfully the battle had ended with the black tiger wounded very badly, riped at the throat,sides,tail,ears,face,anywhere you could think of, but the white tiger no matter how many wounds it had recieved or the pain that collided onto it's bodie, had stood it's ground before Ryo. Wimpering and snaping, the untamed cat ran off, afraid to get whooped more in it's state. White blaze turn his head to get a look at Ryo, lightly rubbing his warm yet wet nose against Ryo's small neck in comfort. Looking up, the young boy's eyes went wide, afraid that he would be it's dinner, but was convinced with the effectionate nuzzels and loving rubs of a fury head resting in the boy's lap, that it was far from happening. Looks like he had found a new friend for life, it had actually eased him bit, but slowly the tears came to his eyes, unable to stay strong enough to hold them in, Ryo broke down, hugging White blaze around the neck.
White blaze's eyes saddened, they stayed in that position for at least two hours or so, before nightfall had started to land down. Unfortnetly the young kid was already fast asleep with newly shed tears, but the tiger had easily picked him up onto his back and sniffed his way to the cabin. Pushing open the door of the old, boring place, the large tiger made his way in, eyes adjusting to the darkness, and finding the couch to set Ryo on which is exactly what he did. Ryo sniffled in his sleep,curling up and wimpering but his wimpers slowly stoped when he was comforted by affectionate nuzzels.
The boy would be hungry when he woke up, so he left quickly to go hunting for them both. He felt like he should stay with the kid and be his guardian protector, never leaving his side at all times. Ryo needed him, he woulden't be able to survive on his own that was plain to see since he had no one but the tiger himself. Brinngin back two fresh kills, he set them on the wooden floor, going back out to gather wood for a fire. This sure was a smart tiger, how did he know how to do all this though? That will remain a mystery for now.
Waking up to the smell of stench blood, the tiger blued eyed kid covered his nose, looking around for the sourece only to be met with worried browmn eyes making him jump then relax. The tiger was rewarded with a sof,caressing pet to the head, he acted like a baby and purred, leaning into the kid's touch. It felt good to be petted, he liked it. Noticing two dead animal corpss, he sweatdroped, looking down at the tiger, "D-did you bring these here?" The tiger gave sort of a nodded growling softly, to his relief he understood, " This is what's for dinne huh?" He smiled greatfully at the tiger, "Thanks boy" He gave White blaze a effectionate hug, before getting up and starting a fire outside, White blaze helping him cook and making sure he diden't get hurt, this was his new master, and he had no problem with it, for his care for the kid grew.
They ate dinner, enjoying the sithering taste of the meat in their mouths. The cold night had bit at the boy's skin, so the tiger had brought the boy and the food inside, putting out the old fire and helping the boy start a new in the old,dustyu fire place. Aftering eating, Ryo snuggled close to White blaze, head rested on his great stomache for a beast, eyes drooping close. White blaze watched over the kid as he slept, he would never give this boy up to anyone, he finally had found where he had belonged. But the night diden't go as well as planned, for Ryo Sanada had ocassional wake ups with cold sweat driping down the side of his face, from nightmares of his father being ripped apart, ending the night with his cries.
Thought the tiger was tired, he stayed up throughout the night and kept the boy comfort and warmth. He was no human parrent, but he would do the best he could to take care of this kid. The two became very close best friends, Ryo trying his best to get through growing up without his parrents. Human or tiger, White blaze was the best thing to a parrent, and the kid loved him so. Through wintery months, blizzard storms, rainy days, and hot sunny dales, they stuck together through thick and thin and got themselves into alot of trouble.
They had to leave the cabin, hunters had come after White blaze and would not leave him by himself. It was harsh, and both had recieved damage. This would be the way they would have to live

Mia cried miserably, she felt so helpless, alone, weak, stupid even. Strong arms eveloped her into an embrace, "Mia, a going ta be okay?" The aburn haired women stifled her tears, only turning and crying into the warrior's chest. Rowen's eyes were voids of worry and concern, he stroke her hair gently in a comforting gesture, "It's going to be okay Mia." Sage meanwile was getting info from the giant tiger. Kento searched the grounds for Ryo but came back with dissapointing news. Cye softly cursed, which surprised them all, Cye was angry and worried senseless, they had to find Ryo.
