"Oh, gravity works." - Batty 'Fern Gully; the last rainforest'

***************************************

It was a quiet, peaceful morning at the Koji household. 25 year old Mia Koji stood over the stove in the kitchen, cooking eggs. Her long brown hair was held up in Chinese chopsticks and she wore a dark blue business suit covered by a white apron. Her matching high heels tapped against the marble floor as she idly hummed.

Her eggs appeared to be done so she took them off the burner and scooped them onto a plate, which was placed on the table. She stepped back to look at her work. The table was covered with a full course meal; eggs, sausages, waffles, pancakes, fruit and juice. She smiled to herself and slipped off the apron, setting it over a chair. Mia turned around and walked into the living room where a brown, leather briefcase was awaiting her. She picked it up and walked over to the door, grabbing an umbrella. As she opened the door, she called back into the house, "Breakfast is ready!!! You'd better get up! All of your flights leave in three hours!" She shut the door and opened her umbrella.

Back inside, Mia heard the thundering of one young man racing down the stairs to the table. She chuckled lightly to herself and began walking towards her car. Suddenly, the front door swung open. She turned around to find a very tousled Ryo standing there. He was in his red flannel pants and bare chested with his mane of black hair sticking out every which way, "Where were you going?" He asked.

"I have a few things to do at the office, but I'll be back in time to drive with you to the airport." She said with a gentle smile.

He leaned against the doorframe and sent her a lopsided grin, "You weren't planning on leaving without saying goodbye?"

She flashed him a seductive look and walked back, "I'm sorry, can you forgive me?" She pleaded in an innocent voice.

"Well.." He looked up as if to think about it. Suddenly, he looked down, "Okay." He grabbed her around the waist and pulled her close.

Mia dropped her umbrella and briefcase in surprise, "Ryo! You're gonna make me late." She protested.

"Then be late." He pulled her into a passionate kiss. At first she struggled, but then gave in and kissed back. The rain was a soothing sound to listen to as the two lovebirds shared a silent moment.

When they broke their kiss, Mia ran a hand through his messy hair and kissed his nose, "Can I go now?" She asked.

"I suppose..hey!" He exclaimed as she quickly pulled out and grabbed her umbrella. She ran out into the rain, knowing Ryo wouldn't follow her.

"Bye Ryo, see you later!" She laughed and jumped into her car.

He sighed and waved as she pulled out, "Drive safely!" He shouted after her.

She rolled down her window and called back, "Worrywart!!" Before disappearing into the woods.

Ryo watched her go with a smug look before a voice called to him from inside the house, "Hey Ryo! You're missin' all the good food!!" Kento bellowed. He shook his head and returned to the warm house.

*~*~*~*~*

Mia sighed as she drove home slowly. She wanted to take time to think things over. Five years ago, the guys had decided to go their separate ways. Sage now ran a dojo in Hong Kong, Kento ran thrill trips in Australia, Cye was a master chef in France and Rowen worked a major company in New York. Ryo had decided to stay and live with Mia, becoming a veterinary. She herself worked downtown as a secretary to the president of her company as an architect.

Of course the guys would all come and visit the two of them over the years as much as possible, but it was difficult. Never the less, it was obvious that Mia and Ryo had grown closer and only two years ago, began dating. Now, the guys were all done with their visit and were to return home this afternoon. Mia had to admit, them leaving was a difficult thing to go through.

When Mia pulled into her driveway, she knew something was wrong. Kento's van was still where it was this morning and it should have been packed. Quickly, she jumped out of her jeep and ran to the house, not bothering with an umbrella. Flinging open the door she shouted, "Ryo!? Cye?! Kento!? Rowen!? Sage?!" She too the time to survey the house and gasped. Everything was turned over or broken. The entire house looked like a war zone.

With her heart beating wildly, she ran to every room, searching for her lost friends. Unfortunately, they were no where to be found. Mia felt her knees get heavy and she fell to the floor in horror, "Where are you guys?" She whispered. That's when she noticed that the back door was open and there were severe scratch marks on the floor, leading out.

Happy to have found a clue, Mia ran out the door at full speed, but failed to notice the accumulating puddle of water on the floor. She slipped and hit the ground with a thud. Lying there for a moment, Mia stared at the ground where she found drag marks in the mud. She stood carefully before running through the heavy mud as fast as her legs would carry her, "Where are you guys?!" She cried.

The rain pelted her tiny form soaking her from head to toe. Her hair clung to her face, making it difficult for her to see. After running for what seemed to be hours, she finally stopped and bent over to breathe, rain dripping from the tip of her nose.

Suddenly, even through the rain, she heard a twig snap. Whirling around, she was shocked to see Ryo, leaning against White Blaze, holding his arm. He appeared to be in horrible shape with blood running from beneath his hand with bruises and cuts everywhere, "Ryo." Mia gasped, unable to move her feet.

"Dynasty..guys..my armor." He hissed between heavy breaths before his legs gave way and he began to fall.

"Ryo!" Mia exclaimed and ran forward to catch him. She managed to get him to fall against her, but his extra build forced her knees to bend. He was completely limp and blood began to soak her suit, but she gave it no mind. The most important thing to do was get Ryo back to the house.

As his unmoving form was supported against her, Mia couldn't help but let tears run down her face, "Oh Ryo, what have they done to you?" She whispered. She gently lay Ryo over White Blaze and carefully, they began the long walk back home.
