"School" it ran through his mind as he slowly woke up. He was beat, his body told him to stay home, but his mind said to go to school. He shot up searched for his alarm clock. "Ohh damn." He said as the clock read 8. Why didn't Sam wake him up? She still mad at him? He grabbed his clothes shoved down a bagel and ran to school. He made sure he didn't run to fast, don't want to get people watching.

Elsewhere, Cye was arguing with Kento. Rowen was trying his best to ignore them trying to memorize a few paragraphs for the test today. Sage was watching Ryan run down the street. "Late again?" he whispered. Ryan was in his grade. He knew something was different about him. But he couldn't sense anything from him.
"Hey watch it!" he said as Kento was shoved into him and broke his train of thought. This started a new fight, which now included Sage. Ryo passed them by, "It's always the same thing."
Rowen looked up from his book and looked at Ryo, he didn't notice how sloppy he looked. "Been fighting?"
"Yeah." He muttered.
"Who with?" he asked.
"Warlords."
"How many?"
"I sensed something." He said he wasn't really paying attention to Rowen.
Rowen gave him a puzzled look. "Alright what was it?"
He didn't answer him, what or how could he answer him. He didn't know how. A new warrior? But he didn't sense one, he sensed two, and definitely a Warlord. So could it have been 3 more Warlords? Man! How many are there? He looked up Han A High in view. He grumbled, Mia making them go to school. What's the world coming to? Destruction? While their setting on the butts taking tests?

Sam yawned as the teacher called out her name. "Samantha Candler?" she called out. She put a hand in the air. "Yeah I'm here. Unfortunately" she muttered. She looked over to her left, there was Cye, the only Ronin in her first period rather in her grade well except Ryo and Kento, Sage and Rowen were her brother's age. You really shouldn't play with your orb in class Cye.. She rolled her eyes and started humming. She ended up thinking about yesterday. She was such in deep thought trying to figure out what Hien told them both that the teacher had to snap her back to reality.
"Ms. Candler pay attention!" she yelled out in a scratchy dry voice.
Cye looked her way. Were they catching on? Kayura made sure the Ronins couldn't sense them, she doesn't know how she did it, but it seemed to be working. She felt guilty for some reason. It wasn't right for Kayura to block their senses. She didn't want her to anymore. But the only reason why she did is so they could train alone. He kept staring. She smiled. Had Kayura stopped? Could he really sense her? Cye turned away clinched his orb and put it in his pocket. He took out a notebook and started scribbling down something.
"Uh oh." She whispered.
He threw it towards her. "Oh damn." he was using her skills against her. He knew she could catch it, if she was a Ronin. You should at least question them Cye really! She thought catching it as quickly as she could while the teacher was turned. She unfolded it and read:

Who are you? Really?

That was a stupid question, but yet it made plenty of sense. She wrote back

You know who I am. There's just something different about me.

Perfect! Yet mysterious, gave him something to think about. He looked at her. I didn't mention stare at did I? Cye was too trustworthy, I could be anyone, a Warlord, uhhh just never mind.
The bell rang and they left class, she met her brother waiting to get in the room along with Ryo and Kento. He had a smile on his face. Ryo and Kento looked at her when Cye whispered them something.
"Here we go.." she muttered.

It was after school. Ryan was going home while she headed for the Volcano. She was yet again going to train in and by the Volcano. She was very weak against the fire element and didn't want that to be one of her downfalls, she was already weaker then her brother physically. Ryo was also heading to the Volcano, he didn't know Sam was going to be there also, but he was beginning to pick up her presence.
Ryo was in full armor, while Sam was in sub armor. She had her sword out with both hands gripping it in front of her. She was concentrating, trying to gain power being by the Volcano. Ryo caught up to her and immediately switched to civilian clothes.
She was in... sub armor?
She lowered her sword he supposed she sensed him.
"Never guessed the loner girl would be a Roninwarrior." He joked.
Yahh you go in push it Wildfire, got a problem with my loner self? She thought. Ryo could almost read her thoughts. Could you scream thoughts? He wondered.
"So did Ryan tell you anything?" she asked hoping the answer was yes.
"Yup."
"And you're not shocked? Suspicious? Anything?"
He chuckled, "Nahh not with the whole Anubis, Kayura, and Warlords thing going on."
"Fine." She said flatly.
Alright that was an awkward conversation. So he decided to bring something up. "You're training?"
"No genius I'm here to dig holes with my sword."
Man she's mean, got a soul in there? Or maybe a heart?
"Are you going to ask what my armor is called?" she asked.
"I don't know, afraid to ask anything with that attitude."
She snorted. Good I don't care. She changed to civilian clothes. She needed sleep, a lot of it. All what they've been doing is fighting, and not have much sleep to make it up either.
"It was probably a bad idea coming out here." She said to herself. She hadn't realized how tired she was.
She fell to the ground, breathing short and slow. She watched as her vision became blurred. "Not now. not in front of Ryo. Just something else for him to think she's weak."
