The Mysterious Outcasts
Chapter 4 - Dinner Plans Gone Wrong
By Kiela Stargaze
That following evening, Ja'Dee and Renée followed Mia's Jeep to her house for dinner. For some odd reason, Ja'Dee had the feeling that she had met those people before. She knew Kento from his mother's restaurant, but the other three, she still had the gut feeling that she'd met them somewhere or some time ago. Maybe once upon a dream.
Renée was having the same idea of what Ja'Dee was pondering on. I have seen them before, but, where? How do I know who they are? She thought to herself as the land became a blur. Mia lived someway out of the city limits. Renée and Ja'Dee's pondering came to a halt when they looked at the house that lay before them. They sat there in awe in Ja'Dee's convertible when they saw a large mansion settled in with trees of beauty.
They got out of the car when Mia and the three guys got out of the Jeep. "Wow, Mia, this place is beautiful," commented Renée, "and big."
Ja'Dee nodded in agreement. "Yeah, it sure is."
"Thank you, well, it is big, but it is certainly home." Mia said smiling as she went up to the door. "Ohm, Ryo, did you remember to feed White Blaze this morning and to lock him up in your room?"
"Heh, yep don't you remember me pulling on the bag of cat nip because he wouldn't let go and the catnip bag busted, causing it to rain catnip." Ryo explained, rubbing the back of his neck.
Mia made a face, "No, but did you clean it up?"
"Yeah, I did."
Renée and Ja'Dee giggled, "So you have a house cat?" Ja'Dee asked.
Ryo, Cye, Mia, and Kento all made a funny face, "Uh, well, I would say a big, big house cat." Ryo chuckled nervously.
"Y-you mean you have one of those big cat's, like a tiger, wildcat, etc."
"A tiger. His name's White Blaze and he wouldn't hurt anybody, unless you are from the dy-oof!" Cye elbowed Kento in the ribs before he could finish.
"He means if you have bad intentions, which for you probably don't." Cye laughed nervously as he glared at Kento, who was rubbing his aching ribs. The girls were looking at them with complete blank expressions.
"Heh, let's go inside." Mia said, glaring at the three guys as they blushed with embarrassment and shame. Mia rolled her eyes as she sighed and led the girls into the huge mansion. It was a lovely home indeed and spacious.
"Very nice house Mia." Renée commented as she looked around.
"Thank you, you see, it is really hard having five guys living with you and not cleaning up that much after themselves." She narrowed her eyes upon Kento who shrugged innocently.
"Sorry Mia, but I can't help it."
"OH whatever. Kento go get Sage and Rowen for dinner. Thank the heavens that we ordered out or we would have to wait three hours before the food is done." Mia said, sighing exhaustedly.
"You ordered out?" Renée asked curiously.
"Yeah, it that all right with you?"
"Fine, it's just that, I never saw someone order so much food before." Renée said, blushing a little.
"Well, it's actually because Kento likes to eat a lot, am I right Mia." smirked Ja'Dee.
"Uh huh." Mia closed her eyes shaking her head and sighed as she put the food out and heard a yell.
"WAAAAHHHHHHHHOOOOOOO!" yelled Kento as he slid down the bar of the stairs onto Ryo in the process. Rowen and Sage came down the stairs to see Ryo's legs kicking from under Kento's big butt.
"KENTO GET YOUR FRICKIN BIG BUTT OFF OF ME BEFORE I USE PRYO ON YOUR BUTT!" Ryo's yell was muffled, but Kento didn't think twice at what Ryo was saying and hurriedly got up. Ryo got up with a not so happy look. Rowen and Sage couldn't contain their laughter anymore and busted out hysterically. It was a rarity to see Sage laugh, since his demure attitude got the best of him. He always had a solemn look on his face, but after seeing Ryo and Kento in that position, he busted out laughing like it wasn't nice. Ryo's face got red deeper than his armor with anger.
"Ryo, calm down," Mia suggested to the food. "The food is already put out and it is getting cold."
Ryo growled then stomped to his seat, where Ja'Dee and Renée were watching the whole scene and not wanting to bust out laughing.
They contained their laughter as all the guys sat down at the table, chuckling about what happened. Ja'Dee then had a strange feeling, coming from the five guys all surrounding Renée and her. Ja'Dee looked mainly at Ryo, she had seen him in her dream, yet it wasn't the same guy from her dream. His name was Hariel, and the girl that looked like her was Kiniona.
"Ja'Dee? Are you all right?" asked Mia concernedly, making the guys and Renée turn their attention to her.
"Uh, yeah, just thinking." She laughed as she saw Ryo's eyes turn to her, with a look she'd never seen before in her entire life. Mia looked at Ja'Dee with interesting eyes and then back at Ryo. Rowen caught this look from Mia. 'Oh great, she gonna try and get those two together like she did for me when Irien told Mia she thought I was cute.' Rowen groaned inwardly, but didn't say anything.
"Soooo," Mia said, enthusiastically, "Ja'Dee, what do you do in your spare time."
"I like to cook,"
"Oooh, really!"
"Uh, oh?" Rowen groaned,
"Uh oh what?" Renée asked him, blushing when he looked at her with interesting eyes.
"She shouldn't have said the cooking part. Because Kento likes when people cook."
"Oops," Ja'Dee muttered. "Anyway, as I was saying. I like to cook, clean, and read interesting books, like action, and cool super heroes. I also love Anime, especially Gundam Wing."
"You too!" Kento stated. "Man, since you worked at my mom's restaurant, I didn't think you were that interesting." Everyone looked at him, staring big eyed at him. "What?"
"Kento, you've just insulted our guest." Mia fussed, embarrassed.
"Don't worry about that Mia, I know what a big doofus he is. Try working with him."
"Try sleeping and living in the same room and house with him. You will think twice of even working with him again." Cye gave advice. "He snores louder than a train."
"HEY! You are all ganging up on me!" Kento pouted.
"But it is the truth." Ja'Dee said, making Kento feel really bad. "We're just playin with you Ken-san." Laughed Ja'Dee.
"Really." Kento said,
Ja'Dee nodded, "Right I am."
"Oh yeah, well Miss Bossy, how about you. You are the hardest to work with because you like to boss people around. Clean, clean, clean is how you like everything. I bet that if your parents were still alive then you probably kill them more with all your cleanliness."
"KENTO, YOU BIG JERK! HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT! THAT WAS WRONG, REALLY WRONG! I HATE YOU! YOU BIG LOSER!" Ja'Dee said as she threw her plate of food at him and whacked him with it, then ran out of the door.
"And why in the hell did you do that? That was lame and harsh Kento. All she was doing was just joking." Renée fused as she got up and ran after her friend.
"Look what you done now Kento!!" Mia screeched as she ran up to her room, really embarrassed.
"I-I, Cye, you understand buddy."
Cye glared at his friend who was already on the slow burn for a week. "Kento," he said in a low and dangerous voice. "What you said was really wrong, AND I DON'T THINK THAT YOU WILL EVER BE MY FRIEND UNTIL YOU APOLOGIZE TO HER!" Kento was taken back from what was happening, all he did was state a fact, or did he?
"I'm sorry Cye."
Cye sighed, "I guess I should apologize to you." He said as he got up from his seat, "But you need to find her and apologize. But it is still the slow burn for you and I will not talk to you again until you realize what you done and go apologize to her."
Kento nodded as he got up and went search for the girls, followed by Ryo and Rowen.
Dark clouds shifted over the horizons above earth. They looked more than rain clouds, evil is what they carried. A light laughter echoed throughout the woods as a figure appeared atop a branch in the high trees above, a full grin splattered on its lips as it watched Ja'Dee run out of the house and into the woods.
"Stupid human. This is too easy." The figure cackled sinisterly as thunder rolled and lighting struck, showing the figures facial features. It was a young woman in a dark cloak, with dark hair and intense dark cold green eyes that glared evil. Her hair flew in the massive wind, as her eyes became crimson as blood. She then saw the second girl, hollering and running after the other one. She let a small-satisfied smile creep up on her lips as she chuckled again to herself. "They shall not know what hit them!" she said. Her hand on her hip, she spotted what she was aiming for. "Dark Demon Warriors, attack the ronins, but leave me the two ungrateful brats running like idiots to me." Green energy began to form in front of the woman. Three demons bowed before flipping backward in a spiral jump and hurdled off the top of the tree branches. She rolled her eyes as she watched the demons fly across from treetop to treetop.
"Oh well, time for my introduction," she said as she made an old stone rise that made Ja'Dee stumble and hurt herself.
Ja'Dee ran as fast as she could. She didn't see or cared where she was going, just as long as she could get away. She didn't even stop when Renée was calling her name and running after her. She could never forgive Kento for what he said. She stumbled on a stone that suddenly appeared in the ground and fell flat on her knees and scraped her legs.
"Ohhh," she pushed herself up from the hard ground. "Where am I?" she asked herself as she dusted her jean shorts off and looked around the place. 'Why am I such an idiot!' she yelled at herself in her head.
'Because you had to let what Kento said get to you.' a voice reasoned with her.
'Who are you?' Ja'Dee mind linked herself. 'Ok I must be really losing it for me to be talking to a voice in my head that sounds JUST like ME!' She grumbled to herself as she walked a few paces, when she heard rustling through the trees and felt that same power she felt when she was overlooking the bridge last night. She started to get a chill and put her arms around her body, to keep from shaking. She heard distant light chuckling as cherry blossoms started to appear. A figure started to take shape in the mist of cherry blossoms. It was a cloaked figure shimmering through the shower.
"Wh-who are you?" Ja'Dee asked with awe. The hood was pulled back with its right hand and revealed itself for it was a woman. A very beautiful woman with dark hair and mysterious green eyes that grew intense with evil?
"Sigonia's the name, pleasure to meet you. Ja'Dee Star." Sigonia's face lit up when she saw her face grow pale.
"How did you know my name?" Ja'Dee asked cautiously, and practically scared stiff.
"My dear, I will explain everything in time. Right now, I need you to follow me and I shall reveal everything."
"Are you suggesting I come with you to the dynasty!"
"Precisely, I figured you would know by now that you were to come. Nice dreams don't you have, Princess Kiniona!"
"I am not her! I never was and never will be! That was just a dream, but how did you know that I even had that stupid dream?"
"All due time will tell. Just come with me!" Sigonia said, her patients wearing thin.
"No thanks!"
