Chapter 6: Fully Dead?

He let the cold water run over his body as he thought about the dream. His brown hair stuck to his face and he closed his eyes trying to remember what Talpa said to him. He remembers hearing the voice of the 'man' that he spend a good amount of his youth fighting.

"No ones ever fully dead." He heard. He remembered the voice from someone he once knew. He was sure it wasn't Talpa's voice but something quieter and sweeter. "They live on after the last blow."

"Who's there?!" the boy questioned stepping out of the shower and finding a towel.

"You need to go back Cye. Back where it started!" The voice faded and left Cye standing there with a towel half way around him. The water dripped down his back onto the floor.

"I'm calling the guys. Including Sage. I don't care if its late over there, I'm calling." He ran to his bed room and got dressed in a pair of shorts and his bathrobe. He walked to the phone and dialed Rowen's cell phone number. There was no answer. He next tried calling his and Ryo's house line. No answer. He also tired Kento's Cell phone. "Why the hell is no one picking up the fucking phones." He called Sage's Dojo because he figured he might be there at this hour.

"Hello Halo's Dojo, Hailey Hunter here. How may I help you." The pleasant voice of a young lady said.

"Hello this is Cye Mouri. May I please speak to Sage Date!" Cye was breathing heavily.

"I'm sorry sir. He's teaching a class right now. May I take a message for him?"

"Hailey, this is his friend Cye from Japan. I know you know about the dreams we've been having. His email told us he told you." Cye was panicking at this point.

"Cye, hold on for a second. I'm going to go see if I can take over his class for a few minuets."

"Kay." He stood there twirling the cord of the phone around his finger. He listen to what sounded like a bunch of people sparing in the background.

"Sage here."

"Sage its Cye! Your going to think I'm crazy…"

"Cye I already think your crazy. But go on."

"Okay I was in the shower thinking about the dreams and I heard this voice. She sounded calm and kind of… umm… yeah… she said something like 'No ones ever fully dead. They live on after the last blow. You need to go back. Back where it started.' Sage I'm getting freaked out. I haven't head voices since we were linked up." Cye kept pacing around the living room.

"Have you told any of the guys about this yet?" He heard the concern in Sages voice.

"No not yet none of them are answering their phones."

"Okay. Here's what I want you to do. Write down what you were thinking about before you heard this weird voice and what she said. Then I want you to finish your shower and then lie down." Sage explained.

"Okay. Give me a call tomorrow kay Sage?"

"Yeah sure. Tell the guys I said hi."

"I will." He heard Sage hang up the phone then he did the same. As he walked back to the bathroom, he heard the phone ring. Letting the answering machine pick up he listened to who it was.

"You Cye Its me Ryo, I'll be stopping by later tonight. If its cool can I crash on the couch? Call my Cell later. Bye." Cye didn't move to answer it. He just stared. It took him a second to realize he still had some shampoo in his hair. He went back to the shower to wash it out.

"Yeah were going back to where it started."
