"You're going to bug me about this all day long aren't you?" Harial asked looking down at Yuli.

"Yep." Yuli nodded up at him then smiled evilly.

"I don't think I like that look." Harial took a seat on the couch.

"Then finish it" Yuli pleaded.

"I'm afraid I can not finish it for it has no ending as I have told you." Harial sighed.

"Well you could tell us what has happened so far." Kento smirked leaning back in the armchair.

"Do you all want me to finish telling the story as it is?" Harial looked around at the boy who all wore eager faces, "Very well then... Well Menai ate breakfast with Hardny. Afterwards Harndy took Menai into a large outdoor arena that was made of wood and set in the middle of a lavish garden. There her training began.

"Menai learned how to weld the swords that she held without being consumed by their power. This was a long and exhausting exercise since Menai soul was prone to hatred and sadness. Hardny had warned her never ever let them control her, for if they did... the unreal would become reality. Menai took him very seriously when he spoke of the swords' power for she had felt the power and had a large scar stretching from her left wrist all the way to her shoulder blade as proof.

"War raged in Menai's country, but she could do nothing but watch and wait. One day when Menai was meditating-- " The doorbell cut off Harial.

"I'll be back in a little while guys." Mia walked out of the kitchen grabbing her coat.

"Where are you going?" Ryo asked from his set on the steps.

"Terry is taking me out to dinner. See you around 10." Mia waved walking out of the house and hopping into the car with Terry.

"She didn't stay very long." Sage huffed.

"Please continue Harial." Cye motioned.

"Right... Well Menai trained long and hard learning how to control the swords so that she was not over taken again. Hardny had told her that even the slightest bit of anger would cause them to burn with lust and power.

"One day Hardny snuck up from behind Menai, Who was peacefully meditating, and grabbed her around the neck. Menai in return grabbed his arm and throw him over her shoulder.

"Why so tense?" Hardny asked her.

"I just don't feel like playing around to day. I feel more like resting." Menai opened one eye and looked down at the man below her with his black hair spread across the wooden floor. The pants he wore hung low around his hips and showed of his lean muscles causing Menai to blush. Smiling Hardny stood, picked Menai up, and threw her over his shoulder.

"Hardny put me down!" Menai commanded him hitting his back repeatedly.

"Not yet Menai. You've been so up tight the past few days that I'm starting to worry. So close that trap of yours' and stop moving 'cause I'm not going to put you down." Menai huffed and allowed him to carry her off into the garden were the waterfall was. Hardny heaved Menai up and tossed her right into the cold water.

"You can bet that Menai was pretty mad about it, but the anger was surpassed by confusion when Hardny jumped in, caught her in his arms and kissed her.

"I know I can never replace Terry, Love, but at least let me try." Hardny whispered into her ear as he planted kisses all over her face.

"Hardny...I...I just can't. Please understand." Menai let tears fall from her face and Hardny kissed and licked them up.

"It's hard, but believe me, I don't want to replace him, that is the one thing I would never do." Harndy hugged her closer to his chest. Looking down into her eyes that were stained with red from the tears.

"It...it..." Hardny didn't let her finish before he kissed her. Menai wrapped her arms around his neck.

"That's better." He smiled against her lips.

"She had sex with Hardny? But I thought this was suppose to be a fighting story not some romance." Yuli huffed crossing his arms over his chest.

"Oh fine I'll get to the point, and no they didn't have sex." Harial sighed, "A storm came over the house breaking the peaceful tranquility. Menai was having nightmares of her children all grown up dying."

~*~*~*~*~*~

"Did you enjoy your supper?" Terry asked taking Mia's hand in his across the candle lit table.

"Delicious, thank you." Mia smiled taking his hand and rubbing it against her cheek. Terry held an evil gleam in his eye that Mia did not see.

"I'm glad. Would you like to go to my place?"

"I don't know. The guys were upset when I didn't call last time.

"So call them." He pulled her hand to his lips and laid a soft kiss on it.

Mia smiled, "Why not. I'll call them when we get there."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Hardny tried to comfort her, but he could do nothing for her. Slowly she fell into a depression and one night she set out with Hardny following close behind. She searched for days only finding her way to the ocean.

"Where is he!" Menai grabbed Hardny by the collar yelling in his face.

"Now you decide to ask me." Hardny smirked.

"Don't give me your crap, just tell me!" Tears streamed from her eyes.

"Hari...Hardny smoothed her hair down, "Close your eyes Love." Hardny took her hands as she closed her eyes. Reopening them she found herself in a heavily vegetated forest.

"Where are we?" Menai looked around not recognizing anything.

"We are here, and here is where." Hardny smirked at her; he liked making her nose scrunch up.

"Hoof-beats and screams could be heard in the distance. Both looked up and Menai took off running in the direction of the noise. Hardny ran after her in fear of her life.

When Menai reached the edge of the woods she came to and abrupt halt. Looking around she found herself in an old, bloodied battlefield. Rocks and dirt covered the once green hill and blood from the recent battle seeped into the clear stream, turning it a disturbed red.

Hardny stop beside her and placed his hand on her shoulder.

"What happened?" Menai turned to him, "This is my home...how could this have happened?" Menai looked over the field and tears filled her eyes.

"It happened slowly while I was training you. Tanoshii took over a few years after you left. He took and broke apart towns and cities one at a time, taking his time." Hardny motioned with his hand out over the land to make his point.

"What kind of creature is he?!" Menai yelled eyes turning more yellow by the second. Hardny slap her across the face.

"Have you forgotten every thing I have taught you wench?!" He slapped her again to make his point.

Menai turned solemn and began to cry some more. Hardny hushed her when he heard the fighting coming closer to them.

"Stand your ground Menai, and remember, no hatred." Hardny said to her drawing his saber.

"I'll do my best."

~*~*~*~*~

Terry kissed Mia fiercely when they entered the apartment. Slamming the door behind him and pushed Mia through the kitchen, past the living room and into the bedroom.

Toby stood up on his hunches and growled at Terry. Terry pulled his lips away from a kind of frantic Mia and looked the dog in the eyes. His eyes turned a clear blue and seemed too radiate something out to the dog. Toby whimpered but did not stand down.

Terry growled in anger and Toby went flying out the glass window doors of the balcony.

~*~*~*~*~

"A group of Tanoshii's soldiers appeared before them baring their weapons.

"Who might you be?" They growled at Menai and Hardny.

"Your death wish." Hardny whispered into the wind and before the soldiers could even think they were engulfed in flames.

The soldiers screamed and rolled around on the ground to try and put out the fire that Hardny had them clocked in.

"I didn't know you could do that!" Menai looked up at him wide eyed as Hardny released the warriors.

"More come we must hurry over that hill and into those woods to get to the castle." He motioned for her to follow him away from the burning men.

"The two of them ran, ran as fast as they could over the hill and down deep into the woods. There they found rest under a thick pile of brush.

"Darkness fell soon and the a troop of soldiers crept into the woods in search of Menai and Hardny.

"You didn't let me fight last time Hardny, I wish to get some work in when I meet this Tanoshii character." Menai humped down against some tree roots.

"I'm sorry my dear, but I didn't want you to have to mess with such weak minded men. Now shush! The troops are coming nearer." Hardny sunk down into the bushes as the troops swept by looking for them.

~*~*~*~*~

"Terry stop this!" Mia yelled trying to push him off and go see if Toby was okay.

Terry backhanded her across the face, "Shut up! It would make this a lot easier if you wouldn't squirm so much." Terry growled ripping the front of her blouse as he threw her down on the bed.

"Terry!" Mia screamed in his ear, "What has gotten into you?!" She was very scared at this point.

Terry slapped her even harder and looked into her eyes with his burning white ones, "Be the good obedient wife I had before." He hissed into her ear.

Mia gasped as her eyes widened in realization.

"Tanoshii!?"

~*~*~*~*~

"As the darkness began to rise Hardny roused Menai and they crept along the woods silently till they came upon a clearing and a large canyon that stretched miles down below them. Fire and steam poured out of the wide opening. Clanging of metal could be heard below and screams pierced through the gray sky.

"What are they doing down there?" Menai whispered to Hardny as they came closer

"Building an army to take over the world most likely." Hardny whispered in a flat tone.

"Hardny motioned for Menai to follow him as he slipped off to the side and walked along the canyon. Before long they came along a wooden bridge that stretched to the other side and met up with a path that led to a castle.

"Come on." Menai followed Hardny over the bridge. Fiery fumes raised and got caught in Menai's eyes. She yelped in pain as her eyes burned from the heat.

"They reached the other side with watery eyes and made their way up the path to the castle. They wound their way around to the back were a small stream ran under the castle through a large grill.

"Back up child" Hardny pushed Menai back and closed his eyes. Soon the metal gill was melted away. "Come now, go and find Tanoshii. I will be there to back you. Now go!" Hardny pushed her through the hole.

"What about you?" Menai called up from the hole.

"I will be with you as I said, but I have some other matters to attend to right know. So go!" Menai took off running through the small sewer like tunnel, "And remember, do not use anger!" He yelled his warning as she slipped into darkness.

"Menai ran and ran. She could see a small light up ahead and she ran faster, for some reason she was not tired. At the light she found steps that lead her up to the kitchen. Drawing her sword, Menai crept around the kitchen looking for an exit. Her wish was soon granted when she reached a door that lead out into a huge hall. Following the hall Menai ended up in a grand ballroom. Looking around in aw, Menai was over taken by the huge chandelier that hung in the middle of the room.

"And what do I owe to such a lovely visitor?" A deep voice asked from behind her causing her to jump.

"Turning around Menai found herself face to face with...

"Terry?"

~*~*~*~*~

Terry leaned over and bit Mia's lip. She yelped in pain.

"But how?" Mia looked up into his eyes.

"Easy," He smiled biting her shoulder making her yell, "He wanted you and needed me again and I wanted you so we fit perfectly together."

Terry ripped off her skirt.

Mia's eyes widened and her breath left her.

"Basterd." Mia whispered before falling unconscious by a blow from Terry.

~*~*~*~*~

Harial's eyes widened and turned a lighter blue. Yuli jumped sky high at a strange feeling and the guardian's looked at each other.

"So it begins." Harial whispers into the now musty air.
