Tears of Twilight
Chapter 3
"Hello, Max? Yea? No way! You've got to be putting me on, right. Are you serious? All right, yea see ya there!" Kaye said excitedly as she hung up her cell phone.
"Kaye what was that all about, and who's Max?" Kento asked curiously.
Kaye laughed, "It's ok Kento, Max is short for Maxine, you remember the one that I met when we took that web class together at the college." Kaye replied with a teasing grin.
"You mean the one that opened that new club? What's it called?" Mia asked.
"It's called Club Bonsai." Kaye replied.
"Club Bonsai? Isn't that a name of a small tree?" Sage asked with a smirk.
"Funny Sage. No you baka, the club isn't named after the tree." Kaye replied as she rolled her eyes. "Anyway, Max said that tonight is the grand opening, and she's inviting us to come down and check it out. So what do ya guys say? Ready for a night on the town?"
"Yea! I'm always up for a party!" Kento cheered. "Come on you guys, for once let's go out and have some fun."
"I don't know, maybe." Cye said as he started to lean against the fireplace.
"Come on Cye, I don't see why not. Besides, it'll be good for us to go out." Ryo said.
"Ryo? You actually want to go out?" Cye replied as he nearly fell over.
"Well yea, I'm not always wanting to train you know. So are we going or what?" Ryo asked as he gave a small smile.
"It looks like it's unanimous, so Kaye, what time did Max say to show up?" Rowen asked as he looked over to her.
"She said that we could show up around 7:00." Kaye replied as she looked back at him.
"That's only gives me...Ah! One hour! I can't get ready in an hour! I have to take a shower, find the right clothes..." Sage said as he began to panic.
"Then you better stop talking and get to it Sage. The more you talk, the less time you'll have to get ready. And if you're not ready, then we'll leave without ya." Mia teased.
Almost an hour later, "Sage come on, if I'm going to be late for Max's big grand opening, I'm going to have to hurt you." Kaye warned as she knocked on the door.
"Ok, ok I'm coming. I'm still not finished getting ready." Sage replied as he finally stepped out while trying to finish styling his hair.
"Sage, I'm sure that you'll still have a lot of girls swooning over you when we get there. So can we go now?" Kaye asked in annoyance.
"Yea, just a second. Just about...there, perfect. Now I'm ready." Sage replied with a smirk.
"You're impossible, you know that." Kaye said as they finally got to where the others were waiting.
"Hey what took you two so long?" Rowen asked, as they were about to enter two different vehicles.
"Do you really have to ask?" Kaye asked back as she got into the driver's seat and started to drive towards town with Mia following.
At Club Bonsai, "Max! Hey congrats on your big night!" Kaye said as she went up and gave her friend a hug.
"Thanks Kaye, so are you ready for some fun?" Max asked with a mischievous grin. "Oh, I see that you brought everybody, good this will work out perfectly."
"Max? What are you up to?" Kaye asked as she looked at her curiously.
"Me? What makes you think that I'm up to anything?" Max asked back mischievously.
"Because I know you, you're always up to something." Kaye replied as she crossed her arms.
"Hey! Are we going to stand out here all night, or are we actually going to go inside?" Ryo asked as he was starting to get impatient.
"Ok, let's go. I have a special table all ready for you. Follow me." Max replied as she went to show them to their table. On their way to the table, Kaye got a quick look of someone that seemed familiar.
"Here we are, ok if you need anything just let me know." Max said as she left them at their table.
"Kaye, Earth to Kaye." Kento said as he was trying to get her attention.
"Huh? Oh, sorry Kento, did you say something?" Kaye asked with a small smile.
"What's up? You were excited about coming tonight, but now you seem kind of distracted." Kento replied as he looked at her.
"Sorry about that." Kaye replied with a warm smile.
"I don't know about you, but the music is making me want to dance. So come on, I'm going to need a partner, and you're it." Kento said as he pulled Kaye out of her chair and headed to the dance floor.
At a nearby table, "Flash, hey Flash!" Scorpio said as he was trying to get her attention.
"What!" Flashed asked as she faced him.
"You look like you're a little distracted." Scorpio replied.
"See that girl over there?" Flash asked as she motioned over to where Kaye and Kento were dancing.
"The blonde one with the big guy?" Thunder asked.
"Yea her." Flash replied.
"What about her?" Scorpio asked.
"Doesn't she seem kind of familiar to you?" Flash asked.
"Now that you mention it yea, they both do. Hey, aren't they the ones across the street from us?" Thunder asked back.
"You're right. So then what do you think that they're doing here?" Scorpio asked.
"Probably the same as us, having a night on the town." Flash replied as she leaned back into her chair.
"Should we go over there and introduce ourselves?" Scorpio asked.
"Not yet, let's just enjoy the rest of the night." Flash replied as she finished off her drink.
Just as the song ended, Maxine walked up with a mic in hand. "Hey, is everyone having a good time?" Max asked.
"Yea!" the crowd cheered.
"Good! Thanks for coming to Club Bonsai! There are two reasons for this major party. The first one is because of the grand opening of my club. And the second, hey Hank get the spot light over here would ya? And the second reason is because a friend of mine is getting married soon. Come on Kaye, where are you and Kento hiding? There you two are, come on don't be shy, come on up." Max invited as people were pushing them towards Max.
"Sorry ladies, but this hottie is taken." Max said with a gleam of mischief in her eyes as unison of awes rang out.
"Max..." Kaye warned as she shot her a look.
"Ok people I'm going to need some help here, I'm going to need you to repeat after me, kiss, kiss, kiss." Max urged the crowd as she waved her hands up in the air. The crowd chanted louder and louder.
"Come on you two, you don't want to disappoint them, now do you?" Max asked with a smirk.
"Max, you're so going to get it." Kaye warned.
"She's right, we better not disappoint them, so what do ya say?" Kento asked with a mischievous grin.
"Why not." Kaye replied back as they were kissing each other. Loud hoots and hollers were heard from all around.
"Bonsai!" a few people yelled.
"Little trees!" others yelled, making everyone in the club bust out laughing.
"Ok people, go back to enjoying your evening!" Max said as they left the stage.
A few hours later, "Hey Cye, where are ya going?" Kaye asked as she noticed that he started to walk to the back.
"I'm thinking about taking a walk." Cye replied.
"Want some company?" Kaye asked as she joined him.
"Sure, why not." Cye replied with a smile.
"Great!" Kaye replied as she smiled back. So they just were walking side by side quietly for a while.
Until, "Cye, do you think that everyone is acting kind of strange lately?" Kaye asked as she kept her gaze forward. Cye was taken by surprise by her question, he wasn't sure exactly what to say.
"What do you mean by strange?" Cye asked as he stole a glance at her.
"Ryo's been pushing himself I think way too hard in his training. Rowen's been too quiet, even for him. Sage is still having those visions every night. Kento hasn't been himself either, Mia has been at her computer nearly twenty-four seven, and I know that I haven't exactly been a ray of sunshine. And then there's you." Kaye replied as she kept on walking.
"What about me?" Cye asked. "Kaye?"
"Well, you seem to be depressed about something. We're all worried about you, and I'll understand that if you don't want to talk about it." Kaye replied as she finally stopped at the lake.
"Kaye, I just have some things that I need to work out on my own. I know that you and the others are concerned, I just need some time ok." Cye replied as he walked up next to her. Kaye nodded her head and then they both stared out over the lake.
"Hey! What's going on? Why is it getting foggy all of the sudden?" Kaye asked as a thick wall of fog was creeping into the yard.
"Something's not right, I can feel it. Kaye, watch your back!" Cye warned as they got into defensive positions.
"Hmm, isn't this interesting, two of the three are here. This is going to be easier than I thought." someone said as he was standing on a tree branch.
"Who are you? What do you want?" Kaye asked angrily.
"My name is Jakada, and to what I want, well you'll find out soon enough. Ninjas attack!" Jakada replied, as his ninjas attacked out of nowhere.
"Another one using ninjas? Aw man, can't these guys think of anything original?" Kaye asked as she was trying hard to dodge them.
Inside the mansion...
"Hey, has anyone seen where Cye and Kaye went to?" Mia asked as she looked around the room.
"Now that you've mentioned it Mia, they haven't come inside since we've been back." Rowen replied as he stood up.
"I think that we better go and look for them." Ryo said as he and the others hurried outside.
"Ah guys, what's with the fog?" Kento asked in confusion.
"Forget the fog! Who's that?" Sage asked as he spotted Jakada still standing on a tree branch watching Cye and Kaye fight his ninjas.
"Hey! What the..?" Rowen asked as they were suddenly surrounded by ninjas.
"All right! I was starting to get bored." Kento replied as he and the others joined the fight.
"Hmm, it seems that my ninjas have their hands full. I should have figured as much. I've seen enough, I think that it's time to leave." Jakada thought as he and his ninjas disappeared.
The next morning, "Hey where are you two going?" Rowen asked as he noticed that Cye and Kaye were about to leave.
"We're going to town to get food, thanks to Kento's raiding the fridge last night." Cye replied as he glanced over at him.
"What? I was hungry." Kento said with an innocent look.
"Are you sure that you two should be going to town, especially after what happened last night?" Ryo asked in concern.
"We'll be just fine Ryo, and besides we have our kanji balls for just in case." Kaye replied as they left for town.
In town, "There's just a few things left, and then we can go back home." Cye said as he was looking over the list.
"I'll get them for ya." Kaye replied as she went to get the remaining items. As he waited for her, he backed into someone.
"I'm sorry about that, here let me help you...mother?" Cye said as he saw whom he bumped into.
"Cye, it's good to see you. How have you been?" Shianne asked as she smiled at him.
"Just fine." Cye replied as he smiled back.
"Hey Cye, here's the rest of the items. Hey, whom are you talking to?" Kaye asked as she met up with him.
Shianne's eyes went wide with shock as she saw Kaye. "I don't believe it." Shianne said as she approached her.
"Mother?" Cye asked in confusion.
"Is it really you? It is, you're alive, you're really alive!" Shianne said as she brought Kaye into an embrace.
"Ah, I'm sorry, but who are you?" Kaye asked as she got out of her embrace.
"Kaye, I'm your mother." Shianne replied with tears starting to form in her eyes.
"What!" Cye and Kaye said at the same time.
"No way, is this some sort of joke? If you're my mother, then prove it!" Kaye replied as she was still in shock.
"I don't think that this would be a good place to discuss this, we better go back to Mia's, the others would want to hear this too." Cye said as they got into the car and took off.
At the mansion, "They're home!" Kento said, as he was about to run towards the door.
"Mrs. Mouri, hi I didn't know that you were coming over?" Mia said with a small smile.
"Hello Mia. It's good to see all of you again." Shianne replied as she smiled back.
"So what brings you all the way here?" Sage asked as they entered the living room.
"Kaye, hey what's wrong? You look like you've gotten the shock of your life?" Ryo asked in concern.
"Yea, you could say that. Why don't you tell them?" Kaye asked as she shot a look at Shianne.
"Kaye is my long lost daughter." Shianne replied as she looked around at them. A look of pure shock registered on everyone's faces when they heard the news.
"Now you know how I felt when she said that in town." Kaye said as she crossed her arms. "Ok, now prove to us that you're my mother."
"All right I will." Shianne replied, as she looked straight at her. Shianne started to tell the whole story of when Kaye was born. When Kaye's father had stolen her from her mother when she was an infant. "And there's one more thing that can back up my story."
"Oh yea? And what would that be?" Kaye asked skeptically.
"You have an unique tattoo on your right arm of an Japanese eagle and the sun. It's the same one that your father had on his arm." Shianne replied. "How's that for proof?"
"If you're really my mother, then Cye..." Kaye said as she looked over to him.
"Yes, Cye is your younger brother." Shianne replied as she nodded her head.
"After all this time..." Kaye said quietly.
"Mother, why didn't you ever tell me?" Cye asked as he looked at her.
"I'm sorry Cye, but I didn't want you to go through all of the anguish of trying to search for her." Shianne replied as she looked back.
"Now that you think about it, they do kind of look the same. That explains why Cye's hair is long." Kento said with a smirk.
"Hey!" Cye said as he punched Kento on the arm.
"Cye, I think that it's time for me to go home, it's getting late." Shianne said as she stood up.
"Already? But there's so much that I want to talk with you about." Kaye said as she stood up.
"There will be more than enough time for us to talk. Now I think that I should be getting home." Shianne replied with a smile. "Cye, would you mind driving me home?"
Cye nodded and then they left. A few hours later, "I don't believe it, how could my mother keep something like this from us?" Cye thought as he was driving back home. Just then something forced him off the road. Cye got out of the car and began to look around.
"It's good to see you again," a voice said from the shadows.
"Who's there? Show yourself!" Cye replied as he got into a defensive position.
"You've forgotten me already? I guess that my first impression wasn't good enough," the voice said as he got in front of Cye.
"Jakada!" Cye replied angrily.
"Oh so you do remember me? Good, I was hoping that you would. Now you are going to come with me." Jakada said as he was about ready to grab onto him.
"That's what you think!" Cye replied as he called forth his sub-armor.
"A fight is it? Well then, let's get to it." Jakada said, as he was ready to fight.
"Man, this guy is fast! One minute he's in front of me, and the next he's behind. If I don't keep my guard up, then I'm going to be in some major trouble." Cye thought as he barely missed the attack.
"What's the matter? Am I going too fast for you?" Jakada asked with an evil grin on his face.
"What do you want with me?" Cye asked back angrily.
"You're only the first, there are two more that we're looking for, but don't worry I'm sure that they'll join you soon enough." Jakada replied as he lashed out an attack so fast and so hard that it knocked Cye out cold.
"He's a stronger fighter than I thought, and he was only wearing his sub-armor, think how he would be if he had on his full armor. I wonder if the other two will be as much of a challenge? I sincerely hope so." Jakada thought as he slung Cye over his shoulder and disappeared.

"Who's there? Show yourself!" Cye replied as he got into a defensive position.
"You've forgotten me already? I guess that my first impression wasn't good enough," the voice said as he got in front of Cye.
"Jakada!" Cye replied angrily.
"Oh so you do remember me? Good, I was hoping that you would. Now you are going to come with me." Jakada said as he was about ready to grab onto him.
"That's what you think!" Cye replied as he called forth his sub-armor.
"A fight is it? Well then, let's get to it." Jakada said, as he was ready to fight.
"Man, this guy is fast! One minute he's in front of me, and the next he's behind. If I don't keep my guard up, then I'm going to be in some major trouble." Cye thought as he barely missed the attack.
"What's the matter? Am I going too fast for you?" Jakada asked with an evil grin on his face.
"What do you want with me?" Cye asked back angrily.
"You're only the first, there are two more that we're looking for, but don't worry I'm sure that they'll join you soon enough." Jakada replied as he lashed out an attack so fast and so hard that it knocked Cye out cold.
"He's a stronger fighter than I thought, and he was only wearing his sub-armor, think how he would be if he had on his full armor. I wonder if the other two will be as much of a challenge? I sincerely hope so." Jakada thought as he slung Cye over his shoulder and disappeared.
