Double Vision By: LadyWildFire7
*Author's Notes: 1) This chapter has went through major revision, I am still not completely satisfied with it , and I might change it once again. And then re-post it. 2)My apologies I have been spelling Talpa incorrectly and did not realize it! 3) After reading this a few times I have decided this chapter is different from the other ones, it's sort of random. And some elements of this chapter aren't very serious. But I figured something like this would be good , before all the adventure/action begins. 4)Some of you may have noticed I keep changing my summary, I am not satisfied with that either!
Rating: Still PG-13! And still subject to change!
**Disclaimer: And I still do not own the Ronin Warriors! And guess what? I still own Fiera, my own character that I made up. And I own any other new characters that I create.

Chapter 3: Dreams
Kento was the first to tear through the garage door and run up to Cye. Voice full of anger Kento yelled, "Cye where the fricken hell did you go?"However, once Kento's eyes caught site of several plastic shopping bags full of sustenance his anger dissipated. The other Ronins, Kayura and Mia had now made it out into the garage and were trying to see what Cye had with him.
"Help me carry in all these bags, please" said Cye sweetly.
Kento immediately starting grabbing bags and bringing them into the house. 'And the strangeness continues', thought Sage , 'I think Cye's using drugs or something.'
Mia laughed, "Cye what on earth possessed you to go shopping in the middle of the night?"
"Yeah, why did you go?" asked Ryo.
"I needed some Tylenol, and I just felt like getting out. I couldn't sleep. I haven't been myself today. (Literally, huh?) I apologize everyone. I bought a bunch of items, hopefully everyone will find something they like" Cye offered.
"So you went to the store? Don't we have Tylenol here?" asked Sage.
"That's usually where people buy food , isn't it? And I didn't know if we had any, but I wanted my own bottle." Cye responded.
"Were out anyways, and we have been. I really should buy some more soon." Mia told them.
"Oh yeah I remember when the last of the Tylenol got used, Ro's hangover. That was funny!" Kento laughed.
Kayura glanced over at Rowen who shook his head and laughed , "No it was most certainly not funny, I was sick for almost two damn days. And I didn't even drink much. Won't be doing that again. Let's not forget who helped me finish the bottle" Rowen coughed out Ryo's name.
Ryo looked over at Rowen, "Yeah I forgot my name that night and everyone else's, and I was seeing two of everything. I guess I also hit on Mia when we got home.(promptly gets a dirty look from Sage) The next day only one thing mattered, Tylenol. I didn't even drink much either. Did we ever thank you for being the designated driver, Kento?"
Sage, who was no longer immersed in the conversation glared at Cye, who seemed to be smirking at him with that 'haha I won, you lost' look. Sage seemed to be the only one who was suspicious, everyone else did not care, just like Cye wanted. Sage looked around to see if anyone else thought this was odd, but everyone else was going through the bags of food Cye brought back with him, even Mia and Kayura. 'Fantastic , Cye brings food, and everyone stops thinking. Doesn't anyone get it?' thought Sage desperately.
Ryo had found a box of powered doughnuts and was opening them, "My favorite! Thanks Cye!"
Kayura had found some chocolate cakes , "Dais and I used to eat these all the time. He would come home from work with these. We'd eat them until I was sure I weighed ten pounds more the next day. I miss those guys and I really hope they're okay." Rowen gently grabbed Kayura's hand under the table and squeezed it. She turned and looked at him affectionately.
"Don't worry I'm sure they are just fine. I bet you'll see them again real soon" said Cye soothingly.
"You think so?" asked Kayura.
"I know so" replied Cye with a smile.
"Dais worked?"inquired Kento.
"How else do you think we paid the rent?" said Kayura. "We all worked."
"What did he do?" questioned Kento.
"Worked at a car dealership." said Kayura.
"What does everyone else do?" asked Kento.
"Sekhmet is a bartender, Cale is a mechanic, and I'm a waitress", Kayura laughed at this, thinking it was quite funny that Sekhmet is a bartender when he loves to drink. It worked out perfect for him.
Rowen then said, "Who would of thought that would happen?"
While everyone else was consumed in conversation, Sage rolled his violet eyes and walked out of the room to go back to bed. The blonde had decided that enough was enough for one day. Mia watched him leave, wondering what was on his mind. Soon after him everyone else returned to their rooms.
*******
Anubis sat on the banks of the crystal lake not far from Mia's mansion. He looked down at his reflection, and hardly recognized himself. His hair had grown matted and much longer. He had dark circles under his eyes and was very much in need of a bath. He felt like he looked older, like he now had many wrinkles. Time and stress had taken a toll on his body and his battle scars could tell a million painful stories. Anubis felt immensely tired and as he lay back on the fresh green grass and he wondered what would happen if he was to just show up after all this time, when everyone thinks he's dead. How he hated lingering, and being everyone's shadow. He would have to wait until he felt Kayura was asleep. Due to the fact that Anubis and Kayura were the last two descendants of the Ancient's bloodline they shared a connection between them. A connection Kayura was not aware of, but soon would be. Anubis had appeared to her a few nights previously giving her the key, and then the night before last imploring her to seek the Ronin Warriors. It was not yet time to explain the key , just as it was not time to instruct her. However, he did have a few things to tell her. Anubis lay on the grass patiently waiting. Kayura was starting to fall asleep, now was the time.
*****
Kayura's dream...
Kayura sat underneath the shade of a cherry tree and it's pink blossoms covered the ground and continued raining down upon her. She looked to the left and then to the right, nothing but a misty fog, like last time. Last time she saw Anubis in the distance and he said to seek the Ronin Warriors. And then the time before that he told her he had something for her, and she had opened her hand to find the key there. She could not see beyond the fog, all she could see was the tree she sat underneath. She leaned back against the tree and continued to look around. Even above her was that ivory mist that kept her from seeing. Off in the distance she heard a clanking sound, the sound the staff of the Ancient one made. Her heart raced, 'It's him' , she thought. She immediately jumped up and began to sprint in the direction of the sound. Right away she became lost in the fog and could not see where she was. But no matter how far she ran , she found herself back at the cherry tree. She always ended up back where she started. After several times of trying to run towards the sound , she gave up and stood still. That's when she felt an ice cold hand on her shoulder. She spun around ready to attack, but it was Anubis that she found. This time she saw him close up, unlike last time and he had changed a bit. Kayura was sure that it was him but all she could manage to do was stutter , "I-it's Y- You."
"Yes, it's me Kayura. It's been a long while , I know. Your going to need to listen very closely to me. I sense a force rising, a force not of the mortal world. I feel as if the dynasty has found a way back into power. Kayura, do you remember the legend of the silver icecrystal armor? The legend you were told years ago."
Kayura nodded, "I remember it well."
"Kayura, it is true. There is a tenth armor. I believe you are the only one who could wield it. If there is indeed danger, like I feel there is, you are going to need it"said Anubis.
Then she asked him, "how do I obtain it, and why do you think I could wield it?"
"There are things which I do not know yet, quite a few missing pieces in this puzzle. I must contact the original Ancient one. When I know more I will appear to you in your dreams once again. You once used the starlight swords then you used my armor. It is a feeling I have. And supposedly this armor could only be used by a woman of the Ancient's bloodline, you fit the qualifications." Anubis said.
Kayura was silent for a moment then she spoke, "But I have your armor, why must I get yet another one?"
"If I return to battle, I may need it." Anubis smiled after he said this.
Kayura studied him for a moment then said, "Return to battle? How do I know this is all real, that's it's not some sort of trick. Anubis, you died. We saw you, you were-" Kayura's voice faded into nothingness, feeling flustered at the fact that an old friend she thought was dead was truly alive. She was happy to see him standing there but she was startled as well.
"It is fair to question me ,Kayura. You can only trust what your eyes saw, but that is not what your heart tells you. You always felt that I was not gone, that I had not died." Anubis then unsheathed a small silver dagger with a jewel encrusted handle. "Hold out your hand."
Kayura merely watched him and then said, "Why?"
"Trust me." was all he said.
Reluctantly, she held out her hands. Anubis seized her left hand gently and pricked her pointer finger with the dagger. Kayura winced and quickly withdrew her hand from his. "Why did you do that?" she asked.
"Now when you awake you will see your blood and you will know that you saw me, that it was not a dream. Since the key was not enough." replied Anubis.
Kayura was silent for a moment but when she opened her mouth to speak Anubis had beat her too it.
"You and I are the last of the Ancient one's bloodline. There is a connection between the two of us, and I can hear your thoughts if you wish me too. Just as you can hear mine if I wish you too. We can speak to each other."
"How do I speak to you if I wish to, Anubis?"
"It's quite simple. All you do is think of my name in your mind. Just say Anubis in your head and continue to speak to me from there. Say my name in your head again, when you are finished. I will only know the thoughts you wish for me too. And we can also speak in your dreams, until we meet again." responded Anubis. Anubis took a step back and turned from her. He then began walking away from her away into the view obstructing mist.
"Wait! WAIT! Where is the tenth armor? How do I get it? STOP! I have so many questions!!"She yelled as she watched his form fade into the distance.
'When will I see you again' she thought to herself. She suddenly felt herself falling and she was covered in blackness. She moved around, something was smothering her. She fought to get free but she could not. After wrestling for a few minutes, she realized she was awake. Kayura had fallen off the bed and her blankets had fallen too and were covering her. She moved them aside and felt a sharp pain. Quickly, Kayura reached over and turned on the porcelain lamp on the night stand next to her bed. The navy haired woman gasped as she examined the fresh wound on her finger, and watched as a drop of red blood rolled down her hand.
Without any form of thought Kayura jumped up and ran out of her room. Her feet were carrying her and she did not know where they wanted to go. She found the room that Rowen said belonged to him and Sage and she impulsively barged in. She passed Sage who seemed to be mumbling something in his sleep and made her way to the far end up the room, where Rowen's bed was. Kayura sat down on Rowen's bed and the very next second Rowen rolled over to face her.
"Why are you still up?" he questioned her.
"Why are you?" She shot back.
"I asked you first."
"I don't care if you did." she responded stubbornly.
SILENCE. He noticed that she kept examining her pointer finger. And asked what she was doing.
"My finger's bleeding. Anubis cut me."
Rowen's eyes widened, thinking she was entirely crazy. "Okay Kayura, I don't know what's wrong with you, but I think maybe you should tell me. Or you can go back to own room if you don't want to say. You choose."
"You wouldn't believe me." she started.
"Try me!" he exclaimed.

Sage's dream.....
Sage was walking down an old hallway, the walls were stone and dirt and he felt as if he was underground. No windows were anywhere to be seen and there was a damp musty smell. He was definitely underground. Every few feet there were lamps with blue flames in them on the wall to light his way. The ground was made of dirt and was damp as well. After a few minutes of walking Sage had reached his destination. He stood before a giant wooden door, with bars over the space where they would be a window of some sort. He looked down at the rusted keyhole and realized he did not have a key. Something told him it would open anyways, so he pushed on the door and it gently glided open.
Sage didn't hesitate to walk through the door or to descend the ancient stone steps leading down into the dungeon. The rancid stench grew as he walked in the dungeon. Somehow in the bleak darkness he knew where he was going. Whatever he was after was in a cell at the back of the dungeon. When Sage came to the very last cell he peered in to find Cye laying there on the ground, bloody and beaten. He knelt down to look at Cye. 'It cannot be' he thought, 'Cye is here at Mia's with us, so why do I see him locked away in this desolate dungeon?'. Cye raised his head and looked at Sage with his sad sea green eyes . Sage could feel Cye pleading for help but not asking for it. When Cye finally spoke his voice sounded harsh and raspy as if he was out of breath and very weak, "It's all a lie."
"What's a lie?" said Sage firmly.
"I never would have guessed, there's... trouble," GASP "Danger, .....help me." Cye was breathing hard now as if it hurt him just to speak. "It's all" GASP "a trick ."
Sage was now pulling frantically on the cell door trying to get into Cye's cell, "Cye ! CYE! What's a trick , what's a lie? What's wrong with you? Cye tell me!" Sage yelled. Normally calm Sage Date had lost his equanimity and was panicking. Cye had closed his eyes and was lying very still and barely breathing. Sage was afraid Cye would stop breathing all together and his only indication that Cye had not passed was the fact that every once in awhile Cye's side would heave up to inhale some air then move once more to release the air. Sage reached for his armor orb, but it was not with him. It was not in his pocket, he did not bring it. Sage sat down on the cold floor in front of Cye's cell and watched him. After a few moments the sound of the dungeon door opening could be heard but Sage was oblivious to this noise until he heard a pair of footsteps traveling down the stone stairs. Sage held his breathe as if it would make him invisible and he listened carefully. His heart was beating so fast he felt it would jump out of his chest, he felt as if someone could hear how rapidly and audibly it was beating. Sage looked over his shoulder and he couldn't see anything, nothing but blackness. Then he looked back at Cye who once again had his eyes open.
"Go....now.....she's coming....." Cye drawled.
"Who is she?" demanded Sage. Cye was mouthing words but no voice came out, and Sage continuously asked him who she is.
"Cye? Who is she? WHO? Why are you here?" Sage felt himself being shaken and opened his eyes to find Rowen and Kayura hovering over him. It had been a surreal dream. Just moments before Kayura had been explaining her dream to Rowen when they noticed Sage thrashing around in his sleep mumbling words louder then when Kayura first entered the room. They watched him, noticing he looked upset and decided to wake him. It was obvious that he was having a horrible nightmare.
"Sage, are you alright? What were you dreaming about?" asked Rowen.
It took Sage a moment to fully realize and remember what had happened in his dream. 'How could it not be real' he wondered. Sage glanced over at Rowen and decided that he should not tell him about his dream. Not yet at least. He didn't need to worry everyone, after all it was only a dream right? So Sage made up a story off the top of his head to explain his behavior. They seemed to buy it , even though they gave him curious looks.
Sage smirked, "Hey Kayura what are you doing in here anyways?"
That's when Kayura decided maybe she had better tell Sage about Anubis as well.

Cye (Dais's) dream
Aquamarine waves washed along the shores of a white sand beach. The waves rolled to and fro crashed into each other. White sea gulls flew threw the air in the cloudless sky. It was a sunny spring day and there sat Dais on a big, blue plastic lawn chair on the beach. He was lounging underneath a tall palm tree and drinking margarita after margarita. Some music was playing softly on his portable stereo that he had brought to the beach. He lay there with his eyes closed as Mia , who was wearing a skimpy white bikini, rubbed sun screen into his body.
"What do you want to do today, my love?" said Mia as she rubbed his shoulders.
Dais sighed. Life was grand. His own personal island with only Mia on it."Same thing as always, beautiful."
Mia smiled at him slyly and said, "Your going to have to catch me first." And with that she jumped up and began running away from him. He didn't waste any time getting up to chase after her.
*****
Fiera crept down the steps of the dungeon and drew her black cloak closer together. 'It's so cold in here, it wasn't this cold yesterday' she thought. With her she carried the food she was going to attempt to give to Cye. The food was a disgusting mess, that even a starved person would not want to attempt to eat. Fiera opened Cye's cell and sat the food down in front of him. He did not move, and she figured he was asleep, probably passed out from all the pain he was experiencing. As he lie there helpless, a part of her evil mind could not help but feel pity for him. She, after all, did not know any of the Ronin Warriors. They were only her enemy because she and her mentor, Daemonicus , had revived Talpa. She knew pity would be her weakness, her undoing, so she scolded herself for feeling it. She reminded herself why she was doing this, so she could lift the curse put upon her mentor. She did not care to help the Ronin Warriors or even Talpa for that matter, she only cared to see the curse lifted off of Daemonicus. She couldn't spend time in the dungeon waiting for Cye to wake up, when she still had much work to do. She still had to brew some potions for Daemonicus to drink to ease his pain. In a couple of hours she would come back and interrogate Torrent then pass the information along to Talpa. If all goes according to plan then Fiera would get what she needed to lift the curse. She didn't care about world domination like Talpa did, all she cared about was helping her old friend. Her loyalty to her mentor was the only reason she agreed to his plan of reviving Talpa. Talpa was the only one who could get them what they needed. The only one who could seek the cure.
After he heard the door close Cye lifted his head and looked around, "No way in hell am I eating this" he said as he pushed the food over and watched it spill.
*****
The next morning at Mia's...
Mia had gotten up early to do Sunday morning laundry. She had gone into the bathrooms to collect the guys' dirty clothes and put them into a green basket. Mia then took all the clothes down into the basement to do laundry. Sometimes the guys actually managed to do something for themselves. Cye usually cleaned and cooked but oddly enough said he didn't want to cook yesterday. Ryo was pretty good about picking up after himself and his white tiger as well, some of the time. Kento was a complete slob and even had a habit of leaving his underwear all over the bathroom. Sage just was not messy, he picked everything up when done with it. Rowen wasn't as bad as Kento, but still lazy, and didn't volunteer to help with anything. So there Mia was doing the Ronin's laundry. When she came across Cye's favorite pair of faded jeans she noticed something was in the pocket. She pulled out a small bag and looked into it. "What's this?" she asked herself out loud. The burgundy haired woman opened the bag and looked inside at the blue dust. Mia concluded that it was best to find Cye and ask him.
*******
Upstairs...
Cye was frantically searching through his and Kento's room. He went through the closet, nope not there. He checked the dresser, apparently he didn't leave it there either. He looked under his bed , in his night stand , and ventured to check the bathroom. It was no where to be found. "Shit" he swore "Where did I leave that damn memory dust" he mumbled. He went over to Kento's side of the room and began to go through his possessions when Kento began to awaken from the noise.
"Cye, what are you doing man?" asked a half asleep still Kento.
"Looking for something."
"What? Why are you going through my stuff?"
Cye never had to bother to invent a lie because at that very moment there was a knock at the door.
"Come in" Cye told the person who knocked upon their door.
Mia peaked her head through and said, "Cye could you come here for a second, please." Cye nodded and walked out into the hallway to join Mia.
"What's this?" she asked as she held up the small bag. Cye's eyes grew big at this. 'DAMN DAMN DAMN!!' he thought, 'I left the memory dust in my jeans! It's good she didn't wash it, I wonder what would have happened'.
"I uhhh umm it's ....it's for a drink" was the only lie Cye could think of. If Sekhmet or Cale would have been there at this very second they would have died laughing. So far since Dais agreed to be Cye not only did he make Sage suspicious , and tell everyone the dynasty was back but now he's telling Mia he's got some kind of special powder to make a drink.
Mia furrowed her brow and flipped her burgundy hair back over her shoulder, "What kind of drink?"
Cye gulped. 'THINK YOU IDIOT!!!' "It's for an energy drink. It's like a strength potion. I got it from a special shop. It ummm tastes like cherries." Cye swallowed hard. 'I am such an idiot.'
"Oh really? Well I'll go make some then" Mia told him. She had believed him after all. Mia turned and walked out with the memory dust. Cye, knowing he could not make things look even more suspicious, decided to let Mia walk away with it. He just had to make sure that he poured out the drink Mia was going to make. Who knows what danger could come from drinking a large glass of memory dust?
***
In Sage and Rowen's room....
Sage had just awoken and was startled to find that after Kayura and Rowen had disturbed him from that dream last night, that Kayura had not left the room. There she was sleeping next to Rowen in Rowen's bed. There were both fully clothed, so that made Sage feel a little better. But what was it with everything lately? Cye's gone crazy, White Blaze is peeing on everything, Rowen and Kayura are acting strange towards each other, and the ex- warlords are missing. And is the dynasty really back? The thing that bothered him least, was Rowen and Kayura. He had sensed an attraction there from the beginning , however he kept a vigilant eye on Kayura. She wouldn't turn on them right? Sage walked over to open the blinds when he noticed Rowen was watching him, so he went over to speak to him.
"Why are you awake? And what's with that?" Sage asked indicating Kayura laying next to Rowen.
"I couldn't sleep right last night. After you fell asleep again, Kayura and I talked for awhile. She told me she felt sort of scared , so I told her to stay in here. I know this sounds sudden, but I really like her."
Sage smiled and said, "Well, usually when two people sleep together they like each other. Wait hold on, that didn't come out right. I meant that-" Rowen started laughing at this and Kayura stirred in her sleep and moved closer to him.
Rowen gave Sage his signature charming yet mischievous smile, "Haven't quite got there yet, Sage."
Sage just shook his head and walked over to his dresser and grabbed his clothes for the day, he then exited the room to go take a shower. Almost to the bathroom door he heard Ryo screaming angrily, "Damn tiger! Next time you pee on my bed, your sleeping in the garage for three weeks!" Sage just had to snicker at that as he entered the bathroom.
****
A little while later...
Kento bounded down the stairs to find no breakfast ready for him in the kitchen. He was quite pissed that Cye had decided he was on strike. Mia can cook, but not nearly as good as Cye can. He was about to get out some cereal when he noticed Mia, by the sink, stirring a large pitcher of something dark blue. She was continuously adding sugar to it and kept tasting it. "It does not taste anything like cherries" she muttered. Kento walked over to her.
"What's that?"
"Cye's energy drink. It's supposed to taste like cherries but it tastes disgusting. It won't even stir properly. Want to try it?" Mia said.
"No way!" Kento said inspecting the dark blue mystery drink.
Mia then poured herself a glass and began to drink it. "Ugh" she said, "I give up!" She took one last gulp and poured her glass down the sink. Then she put the pitcher in the fridge for Cye to drink. 'I cannot see why he likes this stuff' she thought.
Within five minutes of drinking the memory dust as Kool- Aid Mia began to feel nauseous and intensely dizzy. She dragged herself up the stairs to her room and through the door open. She made it into her room just in time to collapse onto her bed.
***
Downstairs in the kitchen Sage, Ryo, and Rowen had all joined Kento. They were all eating breakfast. Since Cye had disappeared again and did not cook for them, the kitchen had turned into a free for all fighting over food. THUD! Sage looked up at the ceiling as if he could see through it.
"What was that?"
Ryo and Kento were fighting over the remaining powdered doughnuts and Rowen was frantically searching the cupboards for his candy stash. Nobody, except Sage, had heard the sound over the commotion that was being made.
"Didn't you guys hear that?" Sage asked again. Ryo looked up and Kento pulled the doughnut box out of Ryo's hands.
"Hear what?" Ryo asked.
"I didn't hear anything" said Kento. Sage left the room and went up the stairs to find the source of the noise.
****
Deep into the thick forest surrounding Mia's mansion Cye Mouri ventured off, to use his mirror to contact his master and then Fiera. He listened carefully for any noise to indicate he was being followed. The only thing he heard were leaves cracking and twigs breaking as he walked. He did not even hear any birds singing, as there was no trace of life around him. Every once in awhile Cye would casually look over his shoulder to make sure he was alone. The days were growing colder and before long the first snow would arrive. Cye stepped behind a large thicket and checked once more to make sure he was not followed. Finding he was indeed alone, he pulled out his mirror and said Fiera's name into it.
Her face appeared in the mirror, "Can I help you , Dais?" she asked rudely.
"Yes I was wondering something. What happens if , umm let's say, someone got a hold of my memory dust. And let's say that someone, well turned it into Kool-Aid and drank it. What would happen to that someone?"
Fiera's face grew serious, "WHAT! You can't be serious? You let someone get a hold of that memory dust? DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW DANGEROUS THAT COULD BE?"
"It's like this really, I left it in my jeans pocket and Mia found it. She questioned me about it and I said it was an energy drink. So she left to try to make some" Cye told her.
"You daft fool! Why didn't you stop her?" Fiera demanded.
"I didn't want to look suspicious. Halo already suspects something is going on with me" replied Cye.
"You have to make sure no one drinks it. One of two things will happen if they do" said Fiera.
"Which is?" questioned Cye.
"Either they will lose their memory completely and not know who they are at all or it will alter their personality for awhile, making them think they are someone else temporarily."
"Alright" then Cye said Fiera's name again, and her face was gone. Then he said , "Master Talpa."
Talpa appeared, "Why have you disturbed me, Dais?"
"Talpa I was wondering If I might have a reward for my troubles when this is all over with. You don't understand what I am going through" said Cye.
Talpa frowned, "You have a lot of audacity to even ask for such a thing. But , what is it?"
"I want to bring Mia to the castle and keep her," Cye said.
Talpa scowled, "I must think about it, but it might be able to be arranged, if you accomplish this task. If she interferes at all, she is gone."
Cye grinned, "Thank you Master. No she won't interfere , I have a feeling that soon she won't have much of a memory anyway. And without a memory , she cannot cause trouble."
CRACK!
Cye cautiously looked around, 'what was that?' Cye's sea green eyes scanned the bare trees and the overgrown bushes that lurked in the forest. He looked up to the sky and saw that the sun had moved behind a cloud and a devastatingly cold wind began to blow. Cye scanned the horizon quickly, not paying much attention to details, as his thoughts were else where. No signs of life, once again. He stood there for a moment , straining his ears to hear. Nothing, not a sound. He decided he should begin his walk back to the mansion before anyone noticed he was gone. He knew he couldn't say he went to the store this time. As Cye walked he didn't notice that a large white tiger had followed him and hid behind a gatherings of trees and scrubs, so Cye couldn't see him. A large white tiger who had somehow recognized the word Talpa.
******
Ryo, Rowen and Kento were sitting in at the kitchen table finishing their breakfast when they heard someone coming down the stairs. The door swung open to reveal Mia, looking in a way that they had never seen her before. Kento choked on his food, Ryo knocked over his cup of juice , and all Rowen could do was stare....

By the way, I finished this awhile ago but I waited to post it. I'm already working on the next chapter, so expect that it will be posted before too long.
