"I think I'll be fine."
I feel so weak. But I have to convince Mia I'm fine. "Don't worry…"
"No look at you your so weak that you can't even hold your head up." Mia's words are slurred to me, "I'm going to go see if I have anything in the trunk that can help." I watched as Mia opened the door and walked towards the back of the car.
(Mia's Point of View)
What is the matter with her? She seems like she's stuck half asleep.
*Mind Poison*
"Wha.." A bright light flashed before me and a figure appeared.
"She has been poisoned in the mind by evil." I looked at the figures face, it was Lady Kayura! "Her mind has not been trained to keep out the evil yet. And her being my daughter, has a strong power, but it is hidden within'. And when evil enters her untrained mind it MAY destroy it."
"So. It's true you are her mother… But I don't understand why are you telling me all this?" I was truly confused.
"In the front flap of her bag is a fiery red bracelet, she has not yet had the time to give it to you but it is yours." She paused looking at me, "Put it on and think of the one thing you want to do. Heal her." With that said she faded out, back to her land I guess. I quickly ran towards the trunk. I dug through her bags until I came out victorious. It was beautiful! Such a fiery color, like Wildfire's Flame. Wait no time for that! I gotta help Deanna!
As I reached her door I remembered what Kayura said. 'Heal Her.' I swing her door open and gasped. Deanna's eyes had closed and she looked like she was in MAJOR pain.
"Deanna, hold on." I touched her forehead.
'I wish I could help her.' * Fire*
I watched in amazement as my bracelet glowed a fiery color. I looked to Deanna's face as it went from painful to relaxed and peaceful. Her eyes opened.
"So you like the bracelet?" I giggled.
"Yes very much. But I like having you as a friend more."
(Deanna's Point of View)
Looks like Mia's all the proof I need. I've found the new evil the Ronin's must face. Geez and its out to get me too. Go figure! Wait… maybe its trying to make us against each other. Dang I'm smart.
"Hey Mia. How about we get going. I bet those men of yours are just dying to meet me." I stretched, "Besides I'm hungry." As if on cue my stomach rumbled.
"Why not." Mia agreed giggling.
(Author's Point of View)
"So it's a plan. We hunt her down and have a little 'talk' with her." A slithery voice said.
"ASHLEY.. Er…Ashley(s)! You make it sound like we're setting Deanna up to get killed." A small voice yelled.
"Oh shut up sour puss." Lily laughed.
"My gosh I can't wait until I figure out how this works! I'll change into a bear and tear you two, I mean, three to shreds!" Megan hissed.
'Or I could just figure out how to be human again. Maybe if I think of what I want. It worked when I wanted to be a cat…. I wan to be my normal self. Mean, grouchy, Megan Finwall!' All the girls looked at Megan's collar (bracelet) as it glowed.
Soon the once small Persian cat took the form of a teenage girl.
"YES! I'M BACK!" Megan, the human, screeched in delight.
"Hip Hip Hooray! Whatever…" Ashley(s) snickered, "Shut up," they (the 2 Ashley's) turned to each other, "UGGG I WISH I COULD BE ONE AGAIN! I'M SO ANNOYING!" both Ashley's fused together as the light in gulfed them.
"Well since that's settled…."Lily murmured….
At the Koji Mansion….
"Where are they?" Kento whined. Having realized it was so close to dinnertime and the 'girl(s)' arrival, he had RAN home.
"Kento they should be here any time now. You can wait." Cye said for at least the 5th time.
"SO you woke me up why?" Rowen yawned.
"Well ya lazy bum the girl(s) are coming and plus if I can't sleep why should you?" Ryo laughed along with Sage.
"Hey I think they're here! Look its headlights!" Kento ran to the door and swung it open.
Back in the living room the boys heard Kento growl in disappointment, "Hi Yulie."
"Hi Kento! Is Mia here yet? I hope not I wanted to make a good impression on Deanna by being the first one to greet her." Yulie stated politely, SO rehearsed.
"Yeah, yeah. Don't worry ya didn't miss anything." Kento sighed and let the small boy by him before closing the door.
Both Yulie and Kento walked into the room. Yulie ran to White Blaze and started scratching him behind the ears, "Hey Blaze!"
"Hi Yulie." All the boys greeted except for Kento, who was sulking.
"Any minute now…" Sage sighed, "Any minute…"
In Mia's Car
"What!" Mia screeched.
"Yeah, I know I was like whatever! Girl you need an attitude check." Deanna laughed.
"Oh god!" Mia muttered before she burst out laughing. "So Ashley just basically ignored you for the rest of the week? Not that I don't blame her…"
Deanna suddenly got very quiet. "I feel like my life is just starting. Like I was just granted a second chance at life."
"Well, hopefully things won't repeat themselves. You're older and wiser. And I'm sure the guys will make you forget all that stuff back in Kusa." Mia stated.
Deanna looked at Mia hurt, "But what if I don't want to forget what happened?"
For the next five minutes the car was more silent than the local mime convention. Mia decided to break the silence, "So you nervous?"
"YES!!! What if they don't like me? What if they think I'm some freak?" Deanna whispered.
"I don't think they would think that. I mean not until they get to know you better. I mean you hide your weirdness pretty good." Mia teased.
"MIA!!!!!"
"Just kidding," Mia laughed, "Well I hope your ready cause here we are."
Just then Deanna noticed that they had pulled up to a mansion. She was in awe. They stood outside of the car, just as the sun was starting to set.
"WOW…."
"Am I loaded or what?" Mia giggled.
"Mia…" Deanna warned, giggling herself.
"I wonder where the guys…"
Mia was cut short as the girls heard something from behind them.
"RRRROOOOOAAAAARRRRRR!!!!!" went the Siberian tiger.
"AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" went the scared Deanna
"Whiteblaze! Don't do that!" Mia scowled just noticing what Whiteblaze had in his mouth. "Whiteblaze put Kento's swimming trunks down!"
Deanna, who had jumped on top of the car, gracefully, looked down at Mia in awe. Mia giggled, "Oh did I forget to mention Ryo has a pet tiger?"
"RRRROOOAAARRRR!" Deanna jumped down in front of Whiteblaze.
She cautiously held her hand out, which the white and black striped tiger dropped the orange swimming trunks into on cue. Deanna then turned to Mia and threw the shorts at her.
"DEANNA!!!!" Mia screeched and dodged the wet orange blob.
Deanna bent down to Whiteblaze's eye level and looked him in the eye. "Any god hiding spots around here?" she whispered to him.
Whiteblaze looked at her innocently, acting as if he didn't know. When in fact he knew the perfect place, but he wasn't about to make Mia mad.
"Meany!" Deanna screeched and jumped up, facing Mia. "SEE if you can catch me you bully!!!!" Deanna stuck out her tongue playfully.
Mia scowled. She jumped towards Deanna, or at least where Deanna used to be.
"I'm up here!" Deanna taunted on top of the jeep.
"DEANNA! YOU…" Mia jumped towards Deanna and swore she had grabbed her leg, but was sadly met with thin air.
"Behind ya!" Deanna tapped her shoulder.
Mia swung around and was met with…nothing.
"Right here!" Deanna whistled from the tree branch she was perched on. "See NO ONE can catch Flash! Not even the three year in a row track winner Mia Koji!"
Mia scowled, "Why I outta…."
"WHITEBLAZE!!!!! BRING BACK KENTO'S SHORTS NOW!!!!!" a boys scream could be heard.
Whiteblaze jumped up by Deanna on the branch, which amazingly held them both. "Hey there, your Whiteblaze aren't ya? Well, Whiteblaze this is MY hiding spot!" Deanna gave the tiger the evil eye, challenging him.
Whiteblaze met that challenge with a roar. Deanna jumped and Whiteblaze ducked. And soon both were on the ground wrestling, much as Ryo and Whiteblaze had been earlier.
As their match continued Ryo, Cye, Sage, Rowen and Yulie appeared, all in their swimming trunks.
"What the…." Sage, of course.
"Whiteblaze?" Ryo questioned.
Whiteblaze looked up at his owner, giving Deanna the upper hand. She jumped to her feet agilely. Whiteblaze roared and got in bouncing position, Deanna did the same.
"SSSSTTTTTOOOPPPP!!!!!" Mia screeched.
Deanna and Whiteblaze crouched to the ground, on reflex.
Mia took a step towards Deanna and Whiteblaze. Whiteblaze and Deanna looked each other in the eye and made an agreement. 'Stick together now, and then it's every woman/tiger for themselves.' They huddled together.
"Deanna! Whiteblaze! What is the matter with you? Fighting over a freaking tree branch!" Mia took a step closer.
Deanna smiled mischievously, "But he started it!!!!"
Whiteblaze roared in disagreement.
"Whatever!" Deanna gave Whiteblaze a look that could kill.
"Uuuhhhhh. What's going on?" Cye spoke up, voicing the guys thoughts.
Deanna's head snapped up, as if just noticing they were there. "Mia, you weren't kidding…" she turned to Mia, who seemed to calm down noticing her friends discomfort.
"And what wasn't she kidding about?" Kento boomed from behind Ryo, holding his towel protectively around his waste as he walked up to the group.
(Deanna's Point of View)
Mia was NOT kidding when she said she had 5 muscle bound guys living with her. I mean…WOW. They are Hotties!
I turned my attention to Mia, ignoring the comment on of the guys had just made, "So ya gonna introduce me?"
I saw Mia's behavior had changed. She smiled at me, "Sure.." she paused and looked at the guys, "Everyone this is Deanna."
She turned back to me, "This is Kento," she pointed to the boy who had spoken before, who waved and blushed at me,
"This is Cye," she pointed to the cute English boy who nodded his head and said a polite hi,
"This is Sage," she droned and pointed to the blond boy who smiled at me, and TRIED to flirt, luckily I'm immune,
"This is Ryo," she blushed pointing to the brunette, whom I recognized from my visions, who just stared at me in wonder,
"This short guy is Yulie," she patted the little boy that was standing next to her on the head.
He stepped forward and bowed to me, "Hello. Nice to meet you."
"Nice too meet you also," I giggled and bowed.
I turned back to Mia, "And this is Rowen," she said pointing to the last boy.
Man is he hot or what??? I almost fainted when he smiled at me.
I silently prayed, thanking god for creating the PEFECT man, "Mia's told me SO much about all of you." I giggled as I saw their faces light up with curiosity.
"Really?" They all asked at the same time.
"Yep!" I said cheerily. Then I felt it. It was that same feeling from earlier. When I had been stuck in that 'dream world.' Fear….
"Oh don't be afraid! I won't hurt you...Much…" I spun around to face the same woman from earlier, except she didn't seem so lovely anymore. She had her hair tied up and was wearing black leather.
I heard the everyone else step forward. "Hey who are you?" I heard Ryo yell out.
Trinity, if I remembered correctly, smirked, "Why don't you ask your new friend, Deanna?"
I looked behind me at Mia.
(Mia's Point of View)
Its that looks again. She looks scared and lonely.
I looked up at the formily occupied tree branch, where the woman had been standing. "Where?"
"Ronin's! I want those armors of yours NOW!" I looked above me to see the woman…floating?
All the guys looked at the woman, "Why?" Ryo asked.
"Uhhhh…. SHUT UP!!!" The silver haired woman screamed.
"What an intelligent answer." I heard Deanna snort beside me. "Miss…Trinity I believe? Why don't you crawl back into the pit to hell you came from?"
The woman seemed pretty pissed at that point.
She dived towards us with her claws…err…hands outstretched.
I feel so weak. But I have to convince Mia I'm fine. "Don't worry…"
"No look at you your so weak that you can't even hold your head up." Mia's words are slurred to me, "I'm going to go see if I have anything in the trunk that can help." I watched as Mia opened the door and walked towards the back of the car.
