Chapter 46
The clashing of Ryo's Katanas and Anubis' Kusari-gama echoed through out the abandoned building. "Give it up Wildfire," Anubis smirked, "you can't win against me."
"Care to make a bet on that?" Ryo growled.
"I don't have to," Anubis laughed. "I'm sure you remember what happened to Hardrock."
Ryo gritted his teeth. Kento, who had always thought with his fists and not his head, had been knocked unconscious almost immediately by Anubis' weapon. If Ryo didn't think of something, everyone was going to end up dead.
"Do you surrender?" Anubis smirked.
"Are you an asshole?" A female voice called out.
Ryo and Anubis turned to find Sarah standing beside Brian. "Get out," Anubis hissed, "this battle doesn't concern you."
"Yes it does," Sarah smirked.
"You bring dishonor upon yourself by fighting other people's battles," Anubis growled.
"When you try to hurt my partner or my friends," Sarah scoffed, "I really don't consider what's honorable and what isn't."
"Then how could Jazalyn be friends with an honor less bitch?" Anubis sneered.
"Why you…!" Sarah began, until Brian cut her off.
"I'm willing to let you walk," Brian began, "just give us Melissa, Melody, and Jazalyn and I promise you'll walk away from here."
"She is my partner," Anubis growled, "you have no right to take her from me."
"And you had no right to kidnap her," Brian snapped back.
Anubis threw his head back and laughed, "Dais was right, you are a hypocritical child. You stand here, ready to protect your partner Cye of the Torrent from any type of danger, and yet you deny me my partner?"
"You can't keep any of them safe," Brian argued.
"And what about you?" Anubis sneered, "Can you prevent Torrent from his destiny? What about Wildfire's partner, can you keep her safe?"
"I'll do what I can," Brian growled.
"You cannot protect Torrent from duty as a warrior," Anubis scoffed, "but then again, you're only doing your duty as well."
"What the…?" Brian began, confused.
"So you don't know?" Anubis smirked.
"Know what?" Brian asked.
"Don't you know that your mother fashioned you, the oldest of the partners, to protect the other four partners?" Anubis said calmly.
"I don't know what you're talking about," Brian replied. "My mum's in England."
"Not the mother who gave birth to you," Anubis began, "but the mother of your soul."
"Anubis," Sarah asked in a skeptical tone, "what in the hell have you been smoking?"
Anubis smiled, "So you don't know either. It appears your parents and loved ones never told you."
"Told us what?" Sarah snapped.
"The truth about the black-haired nurse. What was her name again? Ame?" Anubis asked the two partners in a mocking voice.
"WHAT!" Sarah and Brian yelled in complete shock. How did he know about Ame?
"I guess you parents didn't want you to…" Anubis began, until a telepathic summons poured into his head. 'Return to me Anubis,' Talpa's dark voice whispered in Anubis' mind.
'Yes sire,' Anubis mentally responded.
Before the Warlord of Cruelty returned to the Dynasty Castle, he looked at Sarah and Brian. Ryo thought he heard Anubis whisper "son and daughter of the sun."
