Chapter 10 Friends For Life

      Deanna yawned and sat down on the floor by Kento and looked up at the screen. A ninja dressed in black was sitting on the ground, as if he hadn't been playing for a while. Deanna made a face as she leaned over Kento and saw drool all over the floor. Tugging on the sleeping boy's ear she yelled into his ear, "WAKE UP!"

      Kento's eyes snapped open and he wiped the salvia before glaring at her. "yeah?"

      Deanna smiled at him, "You should go to bed."

      Kento rolled his eyes, "And risk my hearing, I think not. Ro snores louder than a foghorn."

      Deanna snickered, "Yeah well still...." She smirked and patted his head, "Be a good boy and got to bed.... wear ear plugs or something."       Kento snickered back and hopped to his feet saluting her as he did so, "Yes ma'am!"

      "Hey Kento!" She yelled after him making him stop and turn slowly around, "Night!"

      He smiled and yawned, "Night! Oh hey when Sage gets back in from meditating tell him we're gonna kick his arse for staying out so late."

      Deanna's eyebrows came together as she leaned down to turn the game off. AS she sat down and changed the channel to the news she actually started to remember something.

      "Oh my gosh..."Her thoughts were cut off as a burning building flashed on the screen. A young woman ran across the screen crying out for her brother or someone like that. Deanna's eyes turned dark as she read the writing on the bottom of the screen. 'Monster attack in District 10.'

      "When did this start?" Sage asked walking in running a hand through his hair.

      "I have no idea I just turned the television on to this." She paused, "Is something the matter Sage?"

      "No, nothing." Sage said and started for the bathroom, "Goodnight Deanna." He turned his back and continued on his way.

      Deanna sighed and closed her eyes before getting to her feet and turning the tv off and trudging towards the kitchen rather ungracefully. Unconsciously she turned the light out as she walked forward.      Just as she reached the door to the fridge everything went black and she heard a scream, she later realized it was her own voice screaming....

      Mia sat straight up in bed and shoed her covers aside and ran down the stairs so fast that even Whiteblaze only saw a blur.

      Not 2 minutes later all the warriors sat there crowded around Deanna's limp form. Rowen checked her pulse, "Damn."

      "No pulse?" Mia asked horrified.

      "No she has a pulse." Rowen said monotone.

      "Rowen be nice please?" Ryo said as he saw Mia's shoulders shake as she tried to awaken Deanna. "Come on wake up! WAKE UP!"

      Deanna's head lolled to the side and unseen by the everyone except Whiteblaze a kanji mark glowed on Deanna's wrist.

      'PRIDE' A voice called out and Deanna stirred from the darkness. 'Wake up love' Deana opened her eyes and gasped as a man's smiling face looked down at her, love shown clearly in the shining eyes.

She blinked slightly as her vision cleared and the face become clearer..."ROWEN?!"

      Rowen shrugged his shoulders as she sat up ad swatted him away.

      "Sheesh try and help around and she attempts to kill ya!" Rowen snickered and walked backwards, before jumping up and sitting on the counter. Deanna sat up and rubbed her eyes.

      "Deanna?" Mia asked tearfully.

      Deanna shook her head and lay back down on the cold tile. "I really need to lay off the late night snacks...." She shivered and peeked an eye open. She wasn't shocked to see 6 pair of eyes staring at her, "Yes?"

      Rowen yawned and attempted to go back upstairs. "Hey Rowen." Deanna said her eyes closed.

He stopped and looked back at her, "Yeah?"

      "If you want I can fix it so /you/ don't have a pulse." She snickered and sat up, Mia helping her to her feet.

      SHe put her hands on her hips, "Why do you hate me SO much?"

      Rowen opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted as a light filled the room and Deanna was tackled to the ground.

      "Yow!" She cried and rolled the girl off her. "What is this? Attack Deanna day or something?"

      Ashley ignored her and looked at Rowen and then around at everyone else in the room. She got up to her feet and dusted her pants off, "Well good evening everyone."

      Deanna stopped as another light shone and groaned, "Oh great let me guess a vengeful ancestor coming to slit my throat?...oh its only you." She sighed and lay down on the floor trying to get comfortable. She looked up at the woman who had just 'appeared' and snickered.

      Kayura glared at her daughter, "Deanna..." Everyone in the room paled at the tone of voice.

      "Aw yes?" Deanna said with a pout.

      "Are you a skitzo?" Kayura asked truthfully.

      Deanna sighed and grinned, "Well hello to you too."

      Kayura shook her head and tied her robes tighter, she suddenly looked over at Ashley, "How'd she get here?"

      Ashley shrugged and glanced at Sage out of the corner of her eyes, and caught Mia's eyes, "I have no idea how I got here...I was on the middle closing the dojo for the night and suddenly I was here."

      Kayura and Ashley sent a suspicious look at Deanna.

      "Hey hey I haven't used it in a long time!" Deanna held up her wrist to show the bracelet but gasped as she realized it was missing. She glanced at her other wrist and almost screamed, "It's gone!"

      Kayura strode over to her and grabbed her left wrist. She glared at her wrist and glanced at Whiteblaze with a knowing look, "Don't worry you still have it...somewhat anyways..."

      "What's that supposed to mean?" Deanna pouted and glared as Rowen snickered.

      Kayura brushed her hair over her shoulder, "Try and use its powers..."

      Deanna did so, transporting herself behind Rowen and hit him hard upside the head. Her eyes widened and she hopped around ecstatically and Rowen yelped.

      She stopped and looked at her mother, "How'd this happen?"

      Kayura tapped her chin and looked at Ashley, "Dear, your bracelet if I may?"

      Ashley blinked before shoving her wrist at her not taking it off. Kayura reached out to touch the charm but a bright light engulfed it suddenly and Ashley screamed a little, jumping backwards, straight into Sage. She blushed and looked up at him, "Umm…hi?"

      Sage helped her stand straight and furred his eyebrows together as he saw her wrist, "Hey It's gone."

      Ashley looked down just as Mia gave a startled cry from beside Ryo, "Hey it's gone!"

      Deanna tapped her foot in annoyance, "Will you tell us what's going on please?" She looked at Kayura her arms crossed over her chest, her pajamas ruffled.

      Kayura nodded, "Alright then...to make a long story short, those bracelets were made by the wife of the warrior who created the Ronin's armors, each bracelet is supposed to aid one of the five armors. Now that you all have 'come in contact' with the Ronin's the bracelets are taking on their true form."

      Ashley pushed herself forward a little, "I think I understand…but what's their true form?"

      Kayura waved her hand at Deanna who yelped slightly and floated above the ground before her feet touched ground again, her eyes glazed over before she shook her head and looked at Rowen slightly fearful. Yelping again she ran and hid behind Mia, as her hand came in contact with Mia's shoulder, she too cried out and a glow emitted from her chest for a second. Mia and Deanna looked at each other shocked for a second.

      Kayura smiled at them, "So you two have 'the' memories now?"

      Deanna glared at Kayura glancing at Rowen out of the corner of her eyes, "Yeah and I note I do not like having some dead broads memories."

Kayura rolled her eyes and looked at Ashley as any mother would look to her daughter's best friend. "Alright dear, your turn next." Ashley put her arms up in defense mode, "Hey look, whoever you are! I don't want you going near me with those freaky 'powers' of yours."

      "Ashley!" Deanna hissed, "Stop it! That's my mom you're speaking to!"

      Ashley's eyes widened for a second before she looked at Kayura, looking her over, as if to try and find an ounce of Deanna in her. With a small satisfied smile she nodded, "Alright...but first tell me what you are doing.."

      Rowen and Ryo stood off to the side chattering slightly, going over the possibilities of what was going on. Kento sat at the table with curios eyes as he ate a drumstick from the fridge ruthlessly.

      Kayura chewed on her lip and looked to Deanna, "How would you explain it?"

      Deanna hummed under her breath before shrugging and looking to Mia who still had a glazed look on her face.

      "You…get the memories of the woman who first wore that bracelet…" She looked at Ryo who stilled in his talking and tilted his head questioningly. Blushing Mia looked away and Deanna snickered before her eyes landed on Rowen and she made a disgusted face.

      Ashley nodded, "Ok I'll do it." Kayura waved her hand again and a glow came from her hand a matching glow appearing in Ashley's eyes. Seconds passed and Ashley blinked her eyes rapidly before turning to the guys, "Ok who's Halo?"

      Sage raised his hand boringly, "That would be me."

      Ashley went scarlet and Deanna pointed at her laughing.

      Ashley glared and pointed back and laughed at Deanna nodding towards Rowen. Deanna's mouth shut and she looked angry for a second before turning to Kayura, "How come you couldn't give me HER," Points to Ashley, "Bracelet? Why'd you stick me with this one?"

      Kayura yawned a little and put a hand to her mouth, "Oh dear me…Well I must be going…and in answer to your question I gave it to you because you are who you are, if you were the reincarnate of Medea I would have given it to you." Pausing she heaved a sad sigh, "Unfortunately I bore Korene...the stubborn one of the group."

      Deanna's mouth opened and closed for a second before she sniffled and looked at Mia and ran out of the room, going out into the back yard.

      Kayura rolled her eyes slightly and disappeared back to the Netherworld. Mia sighed again, "Great first I get stuck with these idiots," Motions to the guys around, "And now 'this'!"

      Ashley patted her on the back giving a big yawn, "It's alright…hey I mean think of it this way, now you can relax and enjoy life, seeing as how you've already lived once."

      Mia gave a small smile before her eyes widened and she looked towards where Deanna had run. "Shouldn't we go check on her? I mean the memories SHE has have got to be hard for her to grasp…"

      Ashley shook her head and laid down on the couch pulling a blanket over herself from the back of it, "Nah she just needs to sort everything out…A good night sleep will fix that…" Mia giggled, "Alright then you go to sleep…" She paused only to realize Ashley had already fallen asleep. Mia walked up the stairs and into her room, a small click going threw the house as she locked the door. All the guys hung their heads in confusion.

      "So…" Kento cleared his throat.

      "Morning then?"

      "Morning it is…"

      "Night guys!" Ryo yawned and went back upstairs to another night of thinking.

      Kento grabbed another drumstick from the fridge, getting himself a good whap in the head from Cye, before they both walked up the stairs and to their rooms. Sage cleared his throat uncomfortably and Rowen shrugged before walking up the stairs also. Being the last out Sage turned off the light, glancing out the glass sliding door to see Deanna lounging on a beach chair staring up at the night sky before leaving.
