Chapter 2: The Arrival of Kayura
Two weeks later.
"Ryo! Are you going to answer me or not!?" Chris demanded. Over a two-week period of time the Ronins had grown to be friends with Chris. Sage would still some times find himself staring since he still hadn't told her about his dreams.
"What?" Ryo complained. He hadn't been paying attention and was now getting yelled at for it. "UH! Why don't you pay attention!?" Chris smacked him up-side the head, not hard, but enough to let him know she was really annoyed.
"Um." Ryo began, "could you repeat the question?"
"If you paid this much attention at school you'd flunk!" Chris exclaimed. "I asked you if you'd like to get started on our project for History so we can be done with it and be able to have fun over the two week vacation."
"Oh yeah!" Ryo said relieved. "That sounds like a good idea. When should we start?"
"As soon as we get to your apartment, maybe Sage, Kento, Cye, and Rowen can finish theirs at the same time." Chris said, calmly. Chris had a temper that was horrible if your really go her angry, but she was also very loyal to her friends. Nothing really strange had been happening, lately.
"Hey, what are we doing for dinner?" Kento complained. The others were a short distance behind Chris and Ryo.
"Chew on this Kento!" Chris said throwing Kento a piece of gum. "Jeez, you are a walking appetite!"
"Hey, why don't we order some food?" Cye quietly suggested.
"Yeah, we can think of what we're going to do and go do our projects tomorrow. Then we won't have to think about it again, until vacation's over with." Sage added, "Remember? We got a key to the school so we could go in and do it whenever over the vacation."
"Then it's settled, we eat, think, and then do, and party!" Chris confirmed.
Four hours later.
"Man I'm stuffed, and we're ready for our work in the morning," Chris said.
"Are you done?" Kento asked plaintively.
"No, I'm saving it for the Pope," Chris said sarcastically, Kento looked hurt. "You can take it."
"Thanks!" Kento said happily and inhaled the food.
There was a sudden change in the room, there was a shimmer of light and then Lady Kayura was standing in the Ronin's apartment. "I'm sorry to barge in on you like this," she began.
"Who is that!?" Chris said, pointing at Kayura.
"That's Lady Kayura," Rowen said.
"Oh, and that means.?" Chris asked.
"Um, long story." Rowen replied.
"Look Ronins, I wouldn't interrupt your live like this if it wasn't important." Kayura said. "But I have very bad news for you."
"What is it already Kayura?" Rowen demanded.
"There is an evil new dynasty growing. I believe that it will break free soon, and only those who wear armor can stop it."
"But Kayura, you took our Kengi balls when Talpa was defeated, to keep them safe you know," Cye said.
"Yeah," Kento added, "how are we supposed to fight this new threat if we can't use our armor?"
"Um," Chris interrupted, "would someone like to explain what's going on here? Or should I just leave?"
Lay Kayura looked at Chris as thought seeing her for the first time. "I suppose you can stay," she shrugged.
"Does this have anything to do with the strange dreams I've been having? I know that kind of sounds crazy, but then again, having people just materialize into a room is kind of crazy." Chris replied.
"What kind of dreams have you been having?" Kayura asked looking at Chris with keen interest. Kayura was of course dressing the robes of the ancient.
"Well," Chris began looking at the people around her. "I've had this crazy dream for quite sometime.It starts out by me standing out in the field behind the school. I'm getting ready to fight these eight guys on horses. There's a guy beside me, I don't know his name yet, but I feel like I've known him all my life. He has long, straight, shoulder-length red hair. Anyways, I've had four major ones that keep repeating, in the first I'm wearing normal clothes, in the second I'm wearing this trench coat I just go yesterday. And in the third I'm wearing this armor-like outfit that's silver and white. In the last one I notice some people behind me, watching me. The guy next to me turns and then fades away. Then I turn to look, I start off in normal clothes but as I turn my clothes change from normal to the silver armor-like outfit, with the trench coat. I look, and there are five guys standing by the school building. And one looks right into my eyes, the guy who was next to me says in a husky voice, "tell them, 'Beware the coming evil.'" And just after I do the dream ends." She stopped and saw Sage giving her a funny look.
"That's interesting," Kayura said. "Sage had a dream that was almost identical, except he's the one you looked at."
"So Kayura," Rowen said, "Are you going to give us the Kengi balls? After all, how are we supposed to fight this new evil without our armor? And do you know who the guy from their dreams is?"
"Well," Kayura said looking at Sage and then Chris, "I have an idea, who the guy is," she paused for a moment. "I think its Anubis."
"How's that possible?" Kento asked. "He's dead."
"Anubis hasn't crossed over to the afterlife. I believe the reason is, I believe due to the fact he didn't die wearing the armor of Loyalty."
"Yeah? So what does that mean?" Chris demanded.
"Well, have you ever seen him while you've been awake?"
"Yes, and I've recently had dreams where, Anubis, fades into existence instead of out."
"Well there is this Prophecy," Kayura began, then stopped.
"Yeah," Chris demanded, "what does is say?"
"It says, 'A dragon shall bring the lost one back to life.' And I have no idea what that means."
"Um, Kayura," Sage said, "I'm still curious about the Kengi balls. Do you have them with you?"
"No," Kayura said flatly. "When I got them from you I have them to a guardian dragon to protect."
"What!?" Kento exclaimed. "How are we supposed to call on our armor without them?"
"You have to go to the dragon to get them back. And I don't know where the cave is. It's all part of the protection. I don't know what to tell you to do." Kayura admitted.
"I think I can find this dragon cave," Chris said quietly.
"What?" Kayura said. "How? No one should know where the cave is! You're supposed to search for it."
"Have you ever seen it?"
"Yes, the dragon showed me through a telepathic link."
"It's a large cave up on a mountain covered in snow. The entrance is roughly 30 feet wide and 35 feet tall, and rounded. The entrance is mad of brown and gray rock and very dark. The chamber where the dragon sleeps is roughly 50 feet by about 100 feet by about 40 feet high. The floor is mad of a shinny black rock and the walls glitter. Am I right?"
"Yes," Kayura said quietly.
"Then I can find it and lead you there." Chris said quietly.
"When do we leave?" Ryo asked.
"As soon as you can," Kayura replied.
"When do we eat?" Kento complained.
""Kento!" everyone said exasperated, at the same time.
"Let's go to my place, it's out by the mountains. I know the cave is somewhere near there." Chris said, and with that they left.
On a rooftop across the street someone was watching the Ronins. The scout of evil was hare to see but still waited. With Kayura in the room he had had to disappear, and for this he was upset. He'd get her back in due time.
