Author's notes: Ok, yet again I am changing things. I think I should have done this from the very beginning. I'm just going to make one big chapter that includes, Nasuti's, Seiji's, Ryo's, Shuu's, Shin's, and Touma's thoughts. This would have been a lot easier and less confusing had I done this earlier, but I'm tired, stressed, and have a million other stories I'm doing so they can be posted. So blame the slowness and what not on the tiredness ^o^ *yawn*. Thank you all for being so patient with me. *smiles* After this chapter I promise the fight scene and ending will be coming. Unfortunately I'm way WAY behind on summer reading work for school, so things might be slow this month. I can't guarantee the story will be finished this month, but I'll try my hardest to get it out!! Please don't kill me! ^.^ Anyway, enjoy! This chapter should put a smile on your faces.

chapter 12
Attack already!
Ryo's thoughts start before Miyako comes the second time
Ryo stood in silence as he went through recent events
over and over. How in the world could all this have happened? Would they
ever get a break from all the fighting and pain? Or were their lives destined
to be spent fighting, when they should be having normal worries, like what
college they would go to and what they were going to do when they were
older. Not spending their every waking moment on whether or not they and
their loved ones would live to see the next day. It was frustrating as
Hell to have to think of these things and whether he would live or not.
There was no way he would be able to resist them
if they tried to turn him against his friends. He was just too weak in
his current condition. That, and the little matter of Miyako being the
one to do it. Seducing him no less. God it was so hard for him to resist
the temptations. His heart was still racing from their last encounter.
What was he going to do when she came back? Resist as much as he could
and try his best not to be swayed, but damn was it going to be hard. He
would never blame Miyako for all of this. It wasn't her fault. She was
being manipulated and used, just like so many others before her.
His thoughts strayed towards what his friends were
doing right now. How were they taking things and how would they treat him
the next time he saw them. He had a sinking feeling things were not going
to be pretty. He looked around his cell, for any way to escape, but found
nothing. It was too much work for his tired body. They sure knew how to
wear out their prisoners, that's for sure. Though it wasn't just the fact
that he was in a gloomy and dark dungeon that made him so weary. He could
feel his energy slowly being sucked away. It was so slow it was barely
even noticeable. Any normal human would have never have even suspected
they would slowly be drained of their energy. Ryo sighed. Millions of thoughts
and scenarios ran rampant through his head. Most of them were bad, but
there was still hope, albeit small, but still enough to keep him going
and have faith that everything would be ok and that they would possibly
get the old Miyako back.
His reflection was shattered as he heard soft footsteps
heading towards his cell. Miyako walked in wearing a blood red kimono instead
of her armor. His hopes were shot down when he looked into her dark red
eyes and found nothing reflected back in their depths. Her eyes held none
of the mischief and life they had just the other day.
"Miyako come back to me, please."> Ryo thought.
He stood still as she walked up to him only inches from his face, after
he had once again rejected her offer. Her eyes flickered between blue and
red before settling on red. Ryo's hopes sunk to the floor. He was surprised
yet again as she leaned forward and kissed him on the lips. He didn't resist,
but there was no feeling in it like the other day. Nothing. Tears slid
unnoticed by him down his cheeks. Miyako gently wiped them away as if they
meant nothing. And then it happened.
Ryo tried as hard as he could to resist the evil
power, but Miyako's presence weakened him and calmed him as the magic worked
it's way through his body. His mind was fuzzy as his body focused on Miyako's
presence and soft skin caressing his face, weakening him enough for it
to finally take over.
He stood there for a moment with his eyes closed
as his sub armor changed into a black kimono. He slowly opened his eyes
and shivered in delight as Miyako ran her hands up his arms to undo the
shackles, and then doing the same to his legs. He chuckled as she hesitantly
backed up and looked at him appraisingly. Miyako undid the obi of her kimono
and held it in her hand, telling him she was his to do with as he pleased,
as she had promised. He hungrily drank in the sight before him and noted
her soft curves and skin. It took all his will power not to throw her to
the ground and take her right there. He walked up to her and retied her
sash, but gave her a kiss as if promising he'd have her when their job
was done. Obviously with the evil energy that had snared his mind, all
his inhibitions flew out the window.
The woman before him amazed and yet confused him
greatly. She was a mystery that he was determined to solve. He smiled evilly
and followed her out of the dungeon. The only thoughts going through his
mind now was about destroying the Ronins and then taking the woman he so
lusted after.
**********
Nasuti flopped down onto her bed in frustration.
It seemed no matter what she did or came up with, there was no way to successfully
get Miyako and Ryo back. For all they knew, Miyako and Ryo could be dead
or planning their attack on them. The only good thing was that she didn't
have to worry about Yulie, since they had made him go home so he wouldn't
get hurt. One less thing for her to worry about, thankfully. Not that she
didn't still worry about the kid. If they for some reason lost this battle,
the world would be in great peril if not destroyed completely. The guys
kept reassuring her that they'd win, though. Even with their encouragement
and determination, Nasuti knew this would be one of their hardest fights
yet. And hopefully the last, one way or another. She laughed bitterly.
So many things had happened so fast. First Ryo dying,
then being able to see him as well as Miyako, the first fight, finding
information about some new armor that no one has ever seen, Miyako getting
taken, then Ryo getting taken, and finally they were coming to the battle
that would determine the future of the planet. Nasuti sighed. What if the
stupid armor the legend talked about wasn't even real. It was said that
no one had ever seen it, so how do they know if it even exists. Nasuti
rubbed her temples as she felt the symptoms of a migraine. The stress had
caught up with her and was taking it's toll. She walked down the hallway
to the bathroom and popped a couple Excedrin.
She walked back to her room, stopping momentarily
to check on the guys. They were busy talking about how they were going
to defeat Chaos and get Ryo and Miyako back. After she made sure she wasn't
needed, she walked back into her room and stood on the balcony. The wind
blew her long auburn hair around her body as she thought about the new
armor.
"I hope if it ever shows up, that the wearer is
on our side." Nasuti whispered into the wind. She shook her head trying
to clear it of any bad thoughts. She decided enough was enough and she
wasn't going to think about it anymore.
Unfortunately, her mind thought other wise, as her
feelings for Seiji decided to pop to the surface. Seiji, now there was
a complicated subject. She didn't know what he thought of her, and there
was no way she'd tell him how she felt if she would just end up being hurt
by his rejection. Of course being Seiji, he didn't really give any hints
about whether or not he even liked her. Sure he cared about her, but he
cared about all his friends. Most of the guys felt she was an older sister.
Nasuti sighed for what seemed the millionth time that day. Was there anything
in her life that didn't require so much thought and work! And then, as
if to make matters worse, she felt her migraine kick in. Nasuti groaned
and laid down on her bed hoping to get some sleep and relief from such
a painful reality.
**********
Seiji, Shin, Shuu, and Touma sat around the dinning room table deep in thought. They had been discussing what in the world they were going to do about everything.
Shuu's thoughts
"Ryo, Miyako, hold on guys, we'll get you back, I promise! How, is still being figured out, but we will get you back. Man, all this thinking has made me hungry."> Shuu got up from the table and went to the kitchen to get some snacks.
Touma's thoughts
"Some things never change. Leave it to Shuu to have to eat every ten minutes."> Touma thought with a chuckle. Things were definitely not going well and didn't look like they'd get any better. No matter what they came up with, nothing seemed to work. "You would think with all my knowledge and experience, we could come up with one god damn thing that would work! It's as if Chaos knows we'd react like this so he waits till we're about reading to go crazy before launching an attack! Well just you wait Chaos. You'll learn not to toy with us Ronins. I'll make sure of that. We'll ruin your stupid plans and get our friends back, then destroy you."> Touma hated how they were like sitting ducks and totally helpless. But what else could they do? Barging in with no plan was not an option, yet there seemed to be nothing that would be an option. It was either wait and possibly be killed or go in head first and surely be killed. For them it was a lose lose situation at the moment and that didn't bode well with any of them. He could already tell they were all getting restless. Even Nasuti was beginning to loss it. It was like she was constantly PMSing.Touma shivered at the thought. Nasuti could be pretty damn scary when she wanted to be. "Maybe we should just send Nasuti to bitch Chaos out."> Touma chuckled at the image it brought forth.
Shin's thoughts
"Why. Why is it we always have to fight! It's one thing to save the world once, twice even, but this is getting ridiculous! It's like every year there's some new freak trying to take over or destroy the world. I mean come on, doesn't it get tiring? Why don't they go bug someone else's planet."> Shin thought grumpily. The situation was quickly wearing him thin, and it wasn't getting any better. He was beginning to think that maybe Shuu was right and that they should just barge in and beat the crap out of them. With the way they all were now, it didn't seem too hard to pull off. Then again Shin really wanted to see his next birthday. "Stupid bloody demons. Couldn't they think of something a little more original than taking over the Earth. Is there a sign on the bloody moon that tells every weird ass demon to take us over or destroy us!? This is just insane! Chaos, you've gone too far! Tuck your tail between your legs and kiss you ass goodbye!"> Shin huffed and flopped down onto one of the chairs.
Seiji's thoughts
"I don't blame him. I feel the same way. We're all getting restless. But we're doing the best we can. I just wish that didn't involve sitting around on our butts while we wait for someone to attack us. It's nerve racking! No doubt they've got Ryo on their side now."> Seiji frowned at the thought and sighed. "Just our luck. Next thing you know, Nasuti will come running down the stairs yelling at us for no damn reason and because she has a headache. Then burst into tears because she can't find her stupid car keys."> Seiji smiled as the thought distracted him for a moment. Well, considering it was about Nasuti, it's no wonder it distracted him. "What am I going to do about Nasuti? How am I going to tell her how I feel? It's not like she's interested in me or anything. Or maybe she is and I'm too dense to notice.">
*A/N... Hey now there's a concept Seiji! Jeez kid does she have to knock you in the head with a brick! nervous laughter> Heh, sorry, back to the story!*
Seiji looked around the room and took in everyone's mood. Touma looked deep in thought, Shin looked pissed, and Shuu was stuffing his face, practically attacking his food, and looking angrily at nothing. Seiji sighed. Things could not get any worse. Knock on wood. But it seemed fate had other plans. Simultaneously the Ronins gathered all looked at each other and sighed.
**********
YAY!! finally done with everyone's thoughts! Wow,
that didn't take as long as I thought it would. I imagined this chapter
a LOT longer than it is. Oh well, I got out what I wanted them to be feeling.
I noticed that I've been using Ronin instead of Troopers, considering I'm
using the Japanese names. Sorry about that, but I noticed it a while back,
but decided it would just confuse people if I switched to Troopers in the
middle of the story. So what did you think? I thought the Ronin's thoughts
were pretty amusing. Especially Touma's comment about Nasuti. LMAO, I could
just see it now, Nasuti storming out back in all her righteous fury and
bitching out Chaos. LOL, that would be hilarious! Thanks for reading everyone!
More to come soon hopefully. PUH_LLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAASSSEEEEE REVIEW REVIEW
