Delicious Torment
Ch 5
"They're back!" a little boy exclaimed as he spotted Kaye pulling up to the center's parking lot.
"How are we going to tell them?" Sian asked quietly.
"I don't know, I'll figure out something." Kaye replied as she led them inside.
"Mrs. Faun, Mrs. Faun, you've missed all of the fun!" a little girl said excitedly.
"Oh really?" Kaye asked with a small smile.
"Yea, you see, Cye was trying to make snacks, while Kento snuck into the kitchen, and then Cye chased Kento out. It was really funny watching them chase each other," a little boy explained.
"Sorry that we missed it. Hey, I've got an idea, why don't you kids get a movie or something, there's some things that we have to talk about." Rowen replied as he ushered the kids off towards the TV room.
"All right! A break from Ryo's hard training!" a little boy exclaimed excitedly.
"I heard that." Ryo called out to them from Kaye's office.
"Ryo, would you shut the door?" Sage asked as he sat down. Ryo nodded and then shut the door behind him.
"Ok, now would someone fill us in on what's going on around here?" Kento asked. Rowen took a deep breath and began to get the others up to date. While Rowen was explaining, no one could believe what he was saying. But then again, they came upon the conclusion that anything is possible while Jakobe and Dante were involved. When Rowen got to the part of where Jakobe said he wanted Kaye to fight on his team and get "special training" if Sian didn't fight on their team. Needless to say, Kento's eyes flared up like fire in pure anger.
"Wait until I get my hands on him!" Kento growled angrily as Rowen finished his explanation.
"Kento, don't." Kaye said quietly as she leaned into him.
Kento wrapped his arms around her, "guys, this isn't right. We have to do something! There's no way that they can get away with this!" Kento said as he looked around at them.
"I agree with you Kento, but at the moment there's nothing that we can do about it. We're going to have to play this by their rules for now." Cye replied.
"Cye, I'm sorry, but are you out of your mind?" Kento asked in disbelief.
"Kento, Cye's right, we just don't know what their true objective is at this point and time." Sage said sternly.
"So then what are you suggesting, Sage, that we just sit here and wait for their next move?" Kento shot back.
"Kento, Sage isn't suggesting that at all. I think for now that we've better try and figure out their deal later, right now we have a tournament to prepare for." Ryo replied as he stood up.
"Now the hard part, who is going to tell the kids?" Sian asked as he looked around the room.
Kaye slowly began to stand up, "I guess that I will." Kaye said half-heartedly as she started to open the door.
"Kaye, are you sure?" Cye asked.
"It'll be easier on them if the news came from me." Kaye replied as she opened the door and walked out. The guys quickly followed her; the kids looked up and saw that they were finally out of the office.
"It's about time? We were wondering if you guys were going to come out have there or not," a little boy said as they ran up to them.
"Hey, what's wrong?" a little girl asked.
"Kids, something has come up." Kaye began to explain.
"What is it? Come on Mrs. Faun, you can tell us, we can take it." a little girl said as she
looked up to her.
"Sian won't be fighting in the tournament with us." Kaye replied.
"What! Sian, are you hurt?" a little boy asked.
"No, I'm not hurt." Sian replied.
"Then why won't you be able to fight with us in the tournament," a little girl asked. "Are you going to compete?"
"Yes, Sian will be competing in the tournament." Kaye replied as she was now clutching her hands into tight fists.
"Then who is he going to fight with?" a little boy asked.
"He'll be fighting with us." Dante said as he and Jakobe walked into the center.
"NO! You lie! Sian would never fight for you! Tell them, Sian!" a little girl said angrily.
"Yes, Sian, tell us that you're not going to fight for us." Jakobe taunted with an evil grin.
"You bastard! Get out of here! Both of you, before I personally throw you out!" Kento said angrily.
"Mr. Faun, such language, and in front of children no less." Dante replied with a smirk.
"I said, get out!" Kento said as his anger started to climb higher with each passing minute that they were still there.
"We're just about ready to leave. Sian, don't forget, when morning comes, I expect you to be at my gym, or otherwise..."
Jakobe replied just as they were about to leave.
"Don't you worry, I'll be there. Now the two of you leave." Sian said as his eyes went into angry slits.
"We're looking forward to seeing all of you at the tournament." Dante replied as he and Jakobe walked out the door.
"You can count on it, and we'll beat you! You'll see!" a little boy yelled to them as the door finally came to a close.
"Ok, let's call it a day, kids." Ryo said as they turned to face them.
"No! We want to train!" a little girl replied sternly.
"What? Are you sure? Even with everything you've just heard, you still want to train?" Ryo asked in amazement.
"Yea, just because some low life jerk stole Sian from us, doesn't mean that we're just going to lay down and take it." a little boy replied.
"Do all of you feel that way?" Sage asked as they looked over the crowd of kids.
"Yea!" they all replied at the same time.
"Well then, we have a lot of work cut out for us. We had better get started." Rowen said as they started to get back into their groups and ready to train.
"Gotta admire their spirit. They sure have a lot of it." Sian said.
"They sure do," Kaye replied with a small smile, and then her smile faded as she turned to face him. "Sian..."
"I know, 'mom.'" Sian replied as they hugged each other.
"Hey, I could use some help here!" Ryo said as he was getting tackled by a small group of kids.
Sian and Kaye broke apart, and started to laugh. "What do you think? Should we help him?" Kaye asked with a smile.
"I don't know, personally, I think that he deserves being tackled like that." Sian replied with a grin.
"Hey, I heard that, Sian. Get over here!" Ryo said as he started to chase Sian.
"Man uncle Ryo, you're way too slow, I thought that you were faster than that." Sian replied with a laugh as he was running.
"Just wait until I catch you, then you'll be sorry for calling me slow." Ryo warned.
"Yea, right. Come on old man, come and get me." Sian taunted.
"Old man! Oh now you're so going to get it." Ryo replied as he leaped into the air and landed in front of Sian making him skid to a stop and fall on his butt.
"How did you do that?" Sian asked in amazement.
"Sorry, but you're going to have to figure that out for yourself." Ryo replied with a smirk.
"Aw, come on uncle Ryo, you have to tell me, please?" Sian asked as he was getting up from the floor.
"After you called me an old man, forget it." Ryo replied as he crossed his arms.
"If I say that I'm sorry, then will you tell me how you did that?" Sian asked.
"Maybe." Ryo replied as he raised an eyebrow at him.
"For real?" Sian asked as he started to smile.
"On second thought, nope." Ryo replied as he walked off. Sian just looked at him in amazement, how could he just bait him like that? Oh man, that so wasn't fair. The others were laughing at Sian's priceless expression.
Then Sian quickly regained his composure, "oh yea, well then maybe I don't want to know how you did it." Sian said in mock hurt.
Ryo stopped and turned around to face Sian, "you really want to know how I did that, don't you?" Ryo asked as he turned around and faced him.
"Maybe, and maybe not." Sian replied.
"Ok, I'll show you how, but you have to promise not to use it against us. Promise." Ryo said.
"Yea, I promise." Sian replied with a grin.
Later that night while everyone was asleep, "are you ready Dante?" Jakobe asked as they both stood outside of the center.
"I've been waiting all day to do this." Dante replied as he pulled out some sort of triggering device out of his pocket.
"Let's light up their night." Jakobe said with an evil smirk. Dante pushed the button on the device, and then...
