Chapter 5
Miyako flopped onto her bed and angrily punched her
pillow a few times.
"WHY!" Miyako growled in frustration and anger.
"Why did this happen! Why can't I have a happy and normal life, and
why do I have such strong emotions for Ryo. Damn him! That boy can
make me do anything he wants." Again she
growled in frustration. "Why." Miyako whispered. She hugged her pillow
tightly and started crying.
"What's wrong?" Miyako gasped, embarrassed at being
caught crying. Kiya stood inside the door with her arms crossed. Kiya had
on black pants and a dark blue shirt. She had dark purple eyes and emerald
green hair in a short French braid.
"Nothing." Miyako mumbled.
"Sure, and that's why you were crying." Kiya smiled
amusedly and sat on the bed beside Miyako, with her legs and arms crossed.
"Why would you care anyway?" Miyako snapped.
"Hey now. No need to bite my head off. Your like
a little sister to me, why wouldn't I be concerned. Just because I have
the reputation of an ice queen, doesn't mean I'm totally heartless."
Miyako sighed and looked at Kiya. She had been a bit
quick to snap, and Kiya was right. She was like an older sister to
her. Even if she didn't always show it. "Was it Ryo?"
"How did you......."
"Lucky guess." Kiya smirked. "Meticia warned you
about getting too attached to mortals. She also said emotions will just
make you weak, and have bad judgment."
"That's not true!"
"Well, at the moment you're proving her right."
"But wasn't I one once?" Kiya looked at Miyako with
sympathy.
"Technically yes. Now back to the original subject.
What happened?"
"Why does everyone change the subject or not
talk to me when I ask about my past? And why are they keeping things
from me?">
"Miyako?"
"Huh. Oh, sorry. What did you say?"
"I asked, what happened?"
**********
Miyako told Kiya about what had happened between
her and Ryo and how everything had finally gotten to her.
"I did overreact, but at the time I was just so
frustrated and confused, that I couldn't help reacting that way."
"At least he was trying to apologize. Oh, don't
you need to tell the others about the information you got? Also, Hiroshi
and Damion are doing all they can to help you. Those two will do anything
for you, you know. We love you like a little sister."
"I know, and I really appreciate all your help.
I love you guys too. And thanks for reminding me about telling them the
info I got. I had forgotten."
"Well, go finish up, and take care Miyako-chan."
"Alright. Thanks Kiya-chan." Miyako smiled and was
gone in a flash of light. Kiya sighed.
"Little one, you are in way over your head."
**********
Miyako gathered everyone into the living room.
"So what's up, Miyako?"
"Well, we found out that it's not Arago. Apparently
he was totally destroyed in your last battle with him. Also, Nasuti and
I finished decoding the disks. Although you still need to figure out the
password. I figured it would be easier for you to
figure it out since they're your grandfather's disks." Nasuti nodded.
"That's great! Now we are really getting somewhere."
Shuu cheered.
"Don't get too excited, we're still in the dark
on this matter. We've got a lot to figure out still."
"Yeah I know."
"I'm sorry I don't have anymore information."
"Hey, you've done enough as it is. Without you we
would be in bad shape, and we would never have been able to see
Ryo. Don't be so hard on yourself." Touma said soothingly, as he placed
a comforting hand on her shoulder. Miyako
smiled her thanks and put her hand on top of his.
"Miyako."
"Yes, Nasuti."
"Thank you. You're an incredible young lady and
I thank you for keeping Ryo safe. I was suspicious about you at first,
but I was wrong about you." To Miyako's surprise, Nasuti got up and
hugged her. She stood there in shock for a few
seconds before hugging back.
"Yeah Miyako, you're the best!" Jun said smiling,
as he too hugged her. Everyone nodded in agreement to Jun's statement and
Byakuen roared in response. For the second time that day, Miyako felt like
crying like a little girl again. Miyako smiled with unshed tears in her
eyes. Ryo smiled as he watched his friends; glad they accepted Miyako into
their family.
"Your wrong Meticia. Emotions don't make you
weak, they make you stronger. These people make me feel like I could
do anything.">
"Are you alright Miyako-chan?" Seiji asked. She
wiped her eyes and nodded.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Miyako looked over at Ryo who
looked back at her, apology clearly written on his face. She looked
away and backed out of Nasuti and Jun's embrace. "I have to go. Ryo,
you can stay the night if you want." Miyako left
before he could reply. Shuu whistled.
"Ouch. Man, what did you do to make her give you
the cold shoulder?" Shuu asked. Nasuti looked at Ryo angrily.
"What?"
"You know what. You better get your butt up and
go after her. You better apologize for whatever you did too!" the guys
looked on in shock as the scene played out. Ryo chuckled.
"You don't have to tell me twice. I was going to
do just that."
"Good. Now what are you waiting for. Get going!"
Nasuti said teasingly. Ryo smiled and was gone in a flash of red light.
"Man, I wish I could do that." Shuu said in awe.
Everyone laughed as Nasuti went to work on figuring out the passwords to
the disks.
**********
Ryo walked into Miyako's room and found her hugging
her pillow.
"Miya-chan."
"What." Ryo cringed at her cold tone.
"I.....I wanted to apologize." Miyako didn't respond.
Ryo sighed and ran his had through his ebony hair. "I'm sorry for
yelling at you earlier. I was just frustrated and worried. I really
didn't mean to yell." Miyako sighed.
"I know you're sorry. I'm sorry for overreacting.
It's just, everything that has happened just finally caught up with me.
Plus with everything going on, having my best friend yell at me really
hurt."
"Please forgive me, Miya-chan. I never meant to
hurt you. I care about you too much." Miyako blushed, but answered.
"As long as you forgive me for overreacting."
"I forgive you, even though you had every right
to react that way."
"I forgive you too, then." Miyako grinned.
"Truce?"
"Truce." Ryo smiled and walked over to her. He knelt
down in front of her and gathered her into his arms for a hug.
"For future reference, I have a bad temper." Ryo
whispered into her ear. Miyako giggled.
"Thanks for the warning. I'm surprised you'd admit
it, though." Miyako teased. They broke the embrace and smiled. "Now we just have to solve our big problem." Ryo groaned.
"Don't remind me." Ryo laid his head in her lap
and closed his eyes.
"Tired?"
"Uh huh." Miyako giggled. "Then lay on my bed and
go to sleep." Ryo obeyed and she tucked him in. He was asleep in no time.
Miyako looked at him lovingly and kissed his forehead.
"He's so cute when he's asleep. So peaceful looking.
Like he doesn't have a care in the world." Miyako got up and
brought a chair beside the bed to sleep on. Once she was settled, she
too fell into a deep sleep. The only difference between
them was Miyako's pained and troubled expression as she slept.
**********
"I've got it!" Nasuti beamed with happiness.
"Yay, Nasti-chan!" Jun cheered.
"that's wonderful! What does it say?" Touma asked.
"Well, from what I've read so far, it talks about
an evil stronger than Arago."
"Great." Shuu said sarcastically.
"There's a prophecy of some sort too."
"I thought our fighting days were over. Is it our
fate to fight all our lives! This is ridiculous." Shin stated angrily.
"Shin, I think we all feel the same, but as long
as their is an evil threatening us, we're needed." Touma said.
"There's something that bothers me about the whole
situation." Shuu commented.
"What's that?"
"Why haven't they done anything yet? they obviously
want Ryo out of the picture or something, but why haven't they
made another move?"
"Good question. Unfortunately I don't know much
else about our situation yet." Nasuti stated. Seiji put a hand on her
shoulder and gently squeezed it.
"You're doing your best, that's all that matters."
He said soothingly. Nasuti nodded.
"But what if my best isn't enough. I hope Ryo
and Miyako are alright."> Nasuti thought with worry.
"Maybe they want Ryo so he could fight for them."
Jun suggested.
"You've got a good idea, Jun."
"But Ryo's too strong for that. He would rather
die than be on the side of evil." Shuu stated confidently.
"But it says this evil is stronger than Arago. What
if they can change him, or use something against him that he couldn't
refuse, to make him do as they say." Shin said with worry.
"I hope nothing like that happens." Nasuti stated.
"That's the last thing we need right now."
"So what does that prophecy or whatever say?" Shuu
asked.
"Well, I think this is all of it. At least what
I've found.
An evil will come to destroy the world.
Five brave souls must fight again.
The battle shall be their hardest yet,
As well as their biggest test.
Many obstacles will arise,
But the five souls must prevail.
Yet on their side shall be the heavens,
And help will come from a divine soul.
"................" Everyone was speechless.
"This sure as hell would have helped earlier."
"Shuu, watch your language!" Nasuti scolded.
"Sorry, I'm just really mad. I mean we get this
now and we know practically all of it. We are the five brave souls, we
know there is another evil although we don't know who yet, if we lose
then we're all history, we've already had some
major obstacles like the problem with Ryo being dead, and I betcha
Miyako is who it's talkin about in the last couple of
lines! A lot of good this did us. And what do they mean our biggest
test!"
"................." Again everyone was speechless.
"Shuu are you feeling alright?" Shin asked.
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"
"Considering the fact you actually have a point
and what you said was intelligent." Touma smirked.
"Hey!" Everyone laughed, letting out some of their
stress. Jun yawned and pulled on Nasuti's sleeve. Nasuti looked down and
smiled.
"Are you tired, Jun?" Jun nodded. Nasuti took his
hand and led him to the bedroom he would sleep in. When she reached the
top of the stairs she looked at the Ronins. "I think we should all get
some sleep. It's been a long day and I'm pretty tired myself." They nodded
and marched up the stairs after them. It had been a tiring day.
**********
