Chapter 36
Cye and Ryo decided to let their partners have some space. Ryo had wanted to tell Sarah that everything was going to be okay, but when he heard her swearing and yelling every profanity she knew in English and in Japanese, Ryo decided to stay out of her way until she clamed down.
For his part, Brian had walked off to private spot in the woods. When he didn't come back for a half an hour, Mia got worried. When Brian did come back, his fists were swollen and his knuckles were raw and bleeding.
Mia tried her best to bandage Brian's knuckles; but every time she wraped the Ace Bandage around his knuckles, it only jarred more painful memories for Brian. He was used to Jazalyn treating his wounds. "When I get my hands on those three," Brian vowed, "I'm going to make them pay for what they did. No one takes my little sisters away from me and gets away with it."
"Brian," Mia replied in a soothing tone, "you're not going to be able to do anything until you get better."
"I'm going to get them back," Brian promised. "And when I do, I'm going to personally run Dais through with his scythes."
"We can't even think about an assault on the castle until we find Rowen," Mia replied realistically.
"I know," Brian sighed, "but I just can't stand the thought of Jazalyn, Melissa, and Melody being used as pawns."
Anubis placed Jazalyn on his bed. 'She'll be safe here,' he thought. 'As long as Cale doesn't know and Master Talpa never finds out the truth about her, she'll be safe.'
Anubis had no intention of telling Talpa the truth about Jazalyn, 'she'll be used as a pawn if Master Talpa finds out she's from the Sun Goddess,' he thought. 'I'm not going to let anyone use my partner as a pawn.'
Anubis' thoughts were interrupted when a young serving girl walked into the room. "Anubis-sama," the servant spoke, "the bathhouse is ready for your guest."
"Very good, Sakura," Anubis replied. "Are the showers ready to be used?"
"Yes sir," Sakura replied.
"Good," Anubis responded, "Were you able to get a change of clothes for our guest?"
"A pair of clean clothes was taken from her dorm room," the girl replied.
"Very good, Sakura," Anubis finished, "You may go now."
"Hai, Anubis-sama," Sakura replied as she left the room.
