Chapter Three

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

After the game of football, they decided to go back to the Kijo mansion.  Ryo and Morganna had a conversation about sports; and after getting everyone else into it; it turned into a debate.  The ten of them walked through the front door arguing over the best football team.

"Welcome home." Mia said seeing the large group of teenagers.

"Oh....hey Mia." Ryo said.

"Who are your new friends?" She asked him.

"Oh...this is Morganna, Crystal, Sam, Jo and Maria." Sage answered.

"Oh...hey...aren't you the same girl from yesterday?" Mia asked Morganna.

"They one and only...." Morganna answered.

"Oh...well...would the five of you like to stay for lunch?" Mia asked.

"Lunch!" Kento said happily.

"Oh no...You just had to say it, didn't you Mia?" Dais asked from the top of the stairs.

"Are you sure we wouldn't be intruding?" Sam asked.

"Of course not." Mia said.

"Then we'd love too." Sam accepted her offer.

"Crystal, are you sensing what I'm sensing?" Morganna asked her telepathically.

"I think so.  But they can't be." Crystal replied.

"You girls up for a game of soccer?" Ryo asked them.

"Not really, I'd like to live through the end of high school." Jo said.

"Why wouldn't you?" Morganna asked as sweetly as she could.

"Why? Because you're brutal when it comes to soccer." Jo answered.

"Not as bad as when you spar against her." Sam said rubbing her stomach.  Morganna glared at the two.

"Both of you are wusses." Maria said.

"ARE NOT!" Jo and Sam said at the same time.

"Sorry but I have to agree with Jo and Sam." Cye said.

"That is not fair."  Morganna muttered.

"Then well just go outside and relax some." Sage suggested.  They all agreed on it, so they went outside.

"So...what part of America are you from?" Rowen quickly asked.

"We're all from different parts; but it turns out that our parents were friends during their high school years." Morganna answered.  "So when we met we all found out we had a common interest in that we wanted to visit Japan.  So our parents enrolled us in a foreign exchange program."

"So what interested you in Japan?" Sage asked.

"Everything." Sam told him.

"So if you're here from an exchange program, why are you in your own house, shouldn't you be with a host family?" Cye asked.

"Technically yes.  But what we're doing isn't like an actual exchange program.  It's kinda like, living on our own." Maria answered.

"So who was the guy at the top of the stairs?" Morganna asked.

"That was Dais.  There are a lot of people who live in this house." Ryo informed her.

"Who else is there?" Crystal asked.

"There is also Sekhmet, Kale, Kayura, and Yuli." Kento answered.

"Your right.  That is a lot of people." Sam said giggling.   Everyone was laughing when the ground began to rumble.  Everyone was quickly to there feet.  After a few second it stop. 

"What was that?" Cye asked.

"I think it was an earthquake." Kento said.

"No...it wasn't." Morganna said.

"And what makes you so sure?" Ryo asked her.  Right after he asked her, skeletal warriors came out of the ground.

"That's how I know." Morganna commented.
