Disclaimer: I don't own Dragon Knights OR Ronin warriors. This goes for the
rest of the story.
A/N: wow, I got three reviews on one day demanding for this story to become "alive" again. Well, like I said, Reviews are great inspiration!^_^ So, here's the next chapter. R&R, thanks!!
/blah/ = fire's post it notes.
"..Excuse me, Ms. Kayura, the Lord Lykoulen wishes to see you now." A maid timidly said as they bowed to her. Kayura groggily got out of bead and waved her hands dismissively at the maid.
"Ok, I'll be there.soon." She mumbled. The maid nodded and left to relay the message to Lykoulen, "Ugh, It wasn't a bad dream after all..Rajura, if this is your bad idea of ajoke, stop it right now." She muttered. She waited for a few minutes, but nothing happened, "Damn..."
"Ow..ow..ow...OW!!!" Rath yelped as Cesia continued to whack him with a broom while he unsuccessfully tried to run away.
"Stay still, Rath!! I'm gonna kick your ass!" She exclaimed. Fire and Zoma just watched in amusement from the sidelines.
/ Do you think master will live?/ Fire asked. Zoma shrugged.
"Probably not, Cesia's beating him up pretty badly." He mused.
".Uh..What's going on?" A female voice asked. Fire and Zome turned their heads and we're surprised to see a woman with a golden staff looking at them nervously. Fire, immediately recognized her while Cesia and Rath were to busy to notice her.
/Hey!! It's that weird lady!!/ Zoma looked at Fire oddly.
"Weird lady?..OH!! you're the lady Lord Lykoulen wants to see,right?" Zoma exclaimed as he pointed at her. Cesia and Rath immediately stopped what they were doing at looked at a now very nervous Kayura.
".Why haven't you seen the Dragon Lord yet?" Cesia asked with her hands on her hip while Rath quietly and nervously backed away from her. Kayura just arched her eyebrows at her.
"I'm lost, besides, how did you know?" She asked curiously. To their surprise, Zoma answered this question.
"Easy, because Cesia's a fortuneteller!" He exclaimed with a big goofy grin on his face. Cesia just nodded in affirmation while Rath continued to try and escape Cesia's wrath.(No pun intended.)
"Oh,.I see, If you don't mind me asking, where IS the place I met Lykoulen before?" Kayura asked.
".Down the hall, go through the first hallway the the left, and keep on going straight, it'll lead to the throne room. And, it's LORD Lykoulen, not Lykoulen." Cesia explained. Kayura nodded and left while Cesia glared at Rath.
".Where do you think you're going?"
"..Shit." Kayura stopped in her tracks as she heard a two "battle cries" coming from where she just came from.
".I don't wanna know." She muttered as she continued on. Finally, she made it. She saw a man with short blond hair and glasses giving a report to Lykoulen while 3 other men watched. Occasionally adding their own comments. After awhile, she hesitantly cleared her throat to get their attention. They all looked up in surprise towards her.
".Oh, you're here." Lykoulen said with a smile. Then, he turned to Kai-stern, "Excuse me, Kai-stern, but I must speak with this woman. Could you please stay here for a minute, it will only take a second." He said. Kai-Stern bowed to Lykoulen.
"Of course, your Highness. It's no big deal." Kai-stern formally said, then he walked towards the other three Dragon officers. Kayura nervously walked up to the throne.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you, honest. I just need you to answer a few questions. Then, you're free to go." He said. She just continued to stoically stand in front of him. Tetheus walked up and went beside Lykoulen while Queen Raseleane just smile reassuringly to the tense Kayura.
"I will be asking most of the questions." Tetheus coldly stated, "Where did you come from? We have no knowledge of any tribe that carries around such a strange staff."
"...it's a shakujo. And why should I tell you where I come from?" She asked suspiciously. He just eyed her coldly.
".miss Kayura, please understand, the questions being asked are for the safety of this kingdom. Nothing else. Wherever you come from, it will not be danger. We have no wish to conquer anything or anywhere." Lykoulen said. She looked at him, while he just gave her a weak smile.
"..I come from..another world. That is all I'm saying." She said. Tetheus looked at Lord and Queen questioningly. They both nodded.
"Ok then, that's find. Next question, how do you know that demon?"
"...He threatened where I came from." She answered.
"..what is that staff used for?"
"I told you, it's a shakujo. It's used for banishing evil spirits and demons. As well as aiding those who fight against them."
"...Last question, how did you get here?" Tetheus finished. Kayura bit her lip, unsure of what to say.
"..I don't know how I got here. I was...lounging around waiting for some people, when the Shakujo's rings started to ring together. The next I knew.I was here." She explained. Everyone in the room stayed silent.
".I have a question, if you don't mind, Lord Lykoulen." Kai-Stern said. He nodded for him to go on while Kayura eyed him suspiciously.
"Rath, told me you mentioned something called 'ronins'. What are they?" He asked. Her eyes widened in surprised.
"The ronins?! Umm.well..they are the ones who defeated Arago." She nervously explained.
"Yes, yes, we know that. But WHAT are they? Not what did they do." Kai-Stern said.
"..they are.a group of young warriors sworn to protect our world." She said simply, "I will delve no deeper on the subject."
".Alright then. You are free to go, or you may stay, if you wish. I'm afraid, we do not not how to take you back to.your world, but, I thankyou for trusting us enough to tell us. You have been a great help." Lykoulen said. She let out the breath she was subconsciously holding and bowed respectfully.
".Thankyou. If you do not mind, I wish to stay here. Atleast, until I find a way home." She said. Lykoulen nodded while Queen Raseleane grinned at her. Then, she hopped out of her throne seat.
"Come, I'll show you around the castle. It'll be fun. It has been a while since I've had another woman come visit." She said happily. Kayura just sweat dropped, but followed the happy Queen through the halls of the Dragon castle.
"Damnit!! Where IS she?!" Rajura seethed as he grumpily sat on the couch in Nasuti's house.
"Oh, calm down you guys. I'm sure she's fine. Maybe some last minute thing popped up, and she had to leave." Nasuti suggested hopefully as she came out of the kitchen with some drinks. Everyone gladly accepted the drinks and thanked her.
"But, Kayura would not do that without leaving ATLEAST a note!" Nazaa sighed.
"Well, I did feel some kind of.disturbance in the air while I was TRYING to meditate there, but I lost it when Shu threw that pillow at me telling me to 'get off ym lazy ass and help.'" Muttered Seiji as he pointedly looked at a sheepish Shu.
".Well, I thought you were sleeping! Give me a break, you blond haired Cyclops!" Shu defensively said.
"Well, whatever happened to her we have to keep on looking." Ryo said. Everyone nodded, a fierce determination burning in their eyes.
"..But first, let's get some sleep." Touma suggested. ¬_¬ Everyone looked at Touma in disbelief.
"Geez, is sleep all you ever think about?" muttered Anubis. The blue haired warrior shrugged.
"Nope, there's food too, but I'm not hungery. Sides, it's late. Staying up all night thinking about it won't do us anygood, right? Besides, one of us might get some mystical dream that gives a clue." Touma explained. Everyone grudgingly agreed and went to bed. The 3 warlords shared a room with each other, because well,..there was only one guest room left, and each of the ronins shared rooms already..well, if you count Ryo sharing a room with Byauken.(That's Ryo's tiger's name, right?)
