Chapter 5: Days Go By
Sage and Hailey opened up the school around 3:30 that day. They walked in and took off their coats. Hailey grabbed the broom and swept the room once over. Even though Sage swept it last night after the last class she still swept it. Sage went into the office to check the class times for today. Sage had the youngsters in at 4:15 followed by children ages 10 to 14 at 5:15. Then Sage and Hailey had the school to themselves for an hour. Teenagers had Class at 7:30. followed by the adults (ages 21 and up) at 8:30. Hailey walked in and put the broom back in the closet as Sage finished looking over the class list. "So Sage have you emailed your friends yet?" She sat down at her desk.
"No not yet." He laughed quietly.
"What's so funny?"
"Look at us, we own a kendo studio, you just turned 25 last month and I'll be turning 27 next month and neither of us have any clue where were going. Not to mention we really don't need these desks." Sage leaned back in the desk chair. "What's become of this old time warrior?"
"Lets see the same thing that became of the old singer of Jaded Baby Blue. We got a real job and its doing pretty good. We own a nice small business. I guess that business degree with you paid." She laughed back. "And we have desks because it makes us look important."
He laughed and turned on his computer. "So how do I ask them if they've been having weird dreams about the past?" He asked. He saw Hailey shrug.
"You've Got Mail." The computer sang.
"I don't have to email them. They've beat me to the punch." Sage said looking on his computer screen "I've got an email from Kento and Rowen, Kento's is first."
"What he say?" Hailey asked.
"Here I'm forwarding it to you." Sage said.
The next thing they knew was that Hailey's computer was singing "You've got mail."
Hailey read them to herself. "So you've been talking about me have you?" Sage smiled and looked back down to the computer. "Come on what have you been saying about me."
"I told them that you were a very sweet and talented girl. And that you were very smart and know not to mix with the wrong people. But that doesn't explain why you hang out with me." He joked.
"Your not one of the wrong people. If anything your one of the greatest people I know." She smiled there was a nock on the office door. The two looked up to see a woman standing there with her son. Hailey stood up to welcome the two. "Hi welcome to Halo's Dojo. I'm Hailey Hunter and this is Sage Date."
"I would like to enroll my son David into your school. Maybe it will teach him discipline." The woman said glaring down at her son as she mentioned him.
"Hailey would gladly enroll your son. I'm sure he'll love studying here with us." Sage smiled.
"Please have a seat." Hailey motioned to the two to sit down. Sage went back to answering his emails.

Hey guys this month you'll get two emails from me. I'm having the dreams two. I had to tell Hailey about them a few nights ago. Cuz we fell asleep watching movies and I woke both of us up. Anyway, since were all having these dreams we should figure out what's causing them.
Mai~ Run a check on dream linking and stuff like that. Are you having the dreams too? I haven't seen you in the dreams. I saw a shadowy figure holding a staff and having a dagger at their waist. They also looked like a girl. I donno. Could we have another Ronin? If so why weren't they there when we needed them?
Kento~ Her name is Hailey. She seemed to know a lot about the Ronin Warriors. She had an old news paper about us in her bed room. Does that seem weird to anyone else?
Rowen~ She is just a friend and my business partner. She's one of the people I hang out with here. I haven't done anything with her (but I've wanted to.) She's to together to want that stuff it seems. Right now she's sitting across from me being all professional and business like. Its kind of cool that she has so much confidence in this place. FOR THE LAST TIME I'M NOT GOING OUT WITH HER! HAILEY IS JUST MY BEST FRIEND HERE!
Guys I don't know when I could get there. I can't leave Hailey with the Dojo herself. That would be too much work for one person to take care of. Think about it, the two of us split up the classes and we share the paperwork. Although neither one of us had had a vacation in years. I'll talk to her about what we're going to do. This is our business, this is how we survive and live. I'm not sure we could just close the school down for a week or so. I'll have to get back to you on what's going on over here in Middlesex New Jersey.
Your Light Haired Warrior,
Sage Dates
Sage looked at the clock on his computer and saw he had a few minuets before students for the next class would show up so he decided to quickly write Hailey an email to tell her what's going on.

Message:
Okay here's the deal. The guys want us to come to Japan to figure this dream bit out. They want you to come because their my guy friends and they want to meet my best girl friend. The two of us deserve a brake besides our few days off here and there for holidays and sick days we haven't had that much time off in ages. Do you think we should close the school down for a week and then take the trip or do you want to stay here while I make the trip? I really need to make this trip. I haven't seen them all together since I left. I've got to get ready for class.
Sage
He sent Hailey the message and stood up and walked around the desk. He heard Hailey telling about the schools code and why they wanted to teach Kendo. "Miss Hunter, I'll take the first class you get the next one. We'll switch for tonight. When you get a chance look over next months calendar to make sure we have extra time. Then go read the email I sent you." Sage was standing by the door.
"Got Cha Mr. Dates." Hailey smiled before she went back to explaining the schools code.
He walked out of the room and went to the back room to change into his uniform. He stood there for a second after changing looking at himself in the mirror. His eyes had grown wiser while his hair took a younger tone to it since he had grown it out. "Look at you Sagy boy. You're a different man now. Maybe I need to go back and remember it." He grabbed his wooden sword from the wall and walked out onto the floor. He sat down in front of the class where there were plastic proteck swords lying around while a CD player sat behind him. There were two flags on the walls: one from Japan and one from America. They showed the two countries of the two people teaching were from. He looked up to see Hailey walking the mother and son to the door thanking them for their time. She walked to the back room. "So how'd you do?"
"He'll be joining once he gets his Doctors permission." She walked into the back room and out of Sage's sight.
"Sounds good. When was the last time we had a vacation from this place?" He asked as she changed. He didn't have to look over there to know she was changing they normally change a bit before the first class.
"I don't know maybe two, three years." She said walking out with her sword. She walked over to him and sat down next to him. "Why do you ask?"
"I was thinking maybe in two or three weeks the two of us can go to Japan? You could meet my friends and we can sort out this dream thing. Since their all having them too." Sage explained. The first two students walked in and took off their shoes in the waiting room. Their mother sat down on one of the benches.
"That would be good. I'll go online and get our tickets during this class. Then I'll draft up the letter saying we'll be closed for personal reason's and add it to the calendar since it would be the first week of next month well be fine." Hailey gave Sage a reassuring smile.
"Thanks Hailey." He watched her stand up. "You've got students Mr. Dates." Sage waved them in and they walked over to two pieces of tape on the floor as Hailey walked back to the office.
"I want you two to stretch quietly until the rest of the class gets here." Sage smiled.
"Yes sir." The two said in unison. They sat down and started stretching.
'I wonder if the guys were that well behaved when they were younger… nah!' he thought. 'I guess its time to go....'
