Chapter Thirteen: Reunion
(Sage)
"Why are you being so damn stubborn!" Rowen shouted at Dais who, after telling me his secret, went abruptly quiet. I stared at his one good eye that refused to stare back, gazing around the room.
"I want to see her," Dais shot me a nasty look. "Halo, let me see her."
"Just a second, guys, I'm going to check on Kento and see if Sada's woke up," I sighed. I stood up, exiting the room.
"What! She's with Hardrock!" Dais yelped, and a barrage of yelling for Ryo, Rowen, and Dais followed my ears down the hall. Kento opened the door to Mia's room, walking out into the hall.
"Is she awake?" I asked quietly.
"What's going on?" Kento's eyes were wide, staring past me at the closed door where chaotic sounds erupted.
"Dais is pissed, and Ryo and Rowen can't control their mouths," I grinned. "No, Kento, they don't need your backup. Is she awake? I need to talk to Sada."
"Yeah, she's up and has one hell of a weird story," Kento took me into Mia's room. The lovely priestess sat on the bed wearing Mia's clothes. She cocked her head, a surprised look going over her face when I came in.
"You're the last man, the one in my dream," she whispered quietly. "I've seen you! Do you know my love?"
"Yes, but I need you to tell me everything. I know you two are married, but Dais is being really stubborn, but I don't really blame him too much, and all he's saying is he wants to see you. I hope you'll tell me more because I can't help you if you don't fill me in," I sat down and faced the girl.
"Sage, she's like four-hundred years old!" Kento blurted out. Sada nodded, meeting my eyes. "And Dais went all psycho after he thought she'd been killed, and then, he joined Talpa's demon army for some reason, and..."
"Kento, stop," I laughed, staring at Sada. She nodded, however, and began to speak.
"He's right, though, Dais and I supposedly have been around four- hundred years. On our wedding night, he was called to battle."
"Wait, you have to be pure," I frowned. "A pure priestess is what the Dynasty wanted, and well, doesn't that mean you'd have to be a virgin?"
"I am because there wasn't time. The battle was immediate," Sada smiled as I blushed. Her faced reddened a little, too. "Don't feel sorry for asking. As I said, Dais went to war, and our village was raided, and I was wounded badly and buried as the last priestess of our clan, supposedly."
"Dais, I mean, why did he join Talpa?" I shook my head. "I know he thought you died, but your people still would have been alive, right?"
"I don't know, but Dais gave up, and thought me dead, joining a demon's side. I wasn't awake and didn't know the scene when he found me, but I just want to talk to him," she sighed, putting her head in her hands. They both sounded exactly the same with their desire for each other.
"How'd you escape?" I asked as Kento hovered over me.
"Dais took me down to an abysmal pit of death," she said quietly. "His master attacked him, but a simple chat rid his presence out of Dais's mind."
"Whoa, a simple chat stumped Talpa!" Kento blurted out. "No way! Simple chat!"
"Go on," I silenced Kento, unbelieving what I was hearing.
"Under the pit, at the bottom of the bones, there was an inscription. It was a seal, and I chanted, opening a very old door sealed long ago. Under this door, there was a river, but my love passed out when we reached it. I picked up my love, throwing him into the river."
"A river? Under the Dynasty? Sada, that river must have taken you to the mortal world," I met her eyes. She shrugged, looking out the window, and then, back at me.
"It emanated healing powers, and my love was hurt," she sighed. I stared at her soft, caring eyes. "Where did you find me?"
"On the shore of our lake," I replied. She nodded. "Wow, that river, do you know what it's called? It took both of you out of the Dynasty, and Dais can't find his kanji."
"Really?" Kento grinned, but quickly erased his glee. Sada cocked her head in confusion.
"A kanji summons our armors," I pulled out mine, showing it to Sada. She studied it, rolling it on her palm, and then handing it back to me. "My armor is the armor of Halo, Kento is the armor of Hardrock, and Dais's armor is the armor of Illusions, or Summer, I guess."
"Oh, I never knew," Sada sighed. "May I ask your name? You've been so kind when I've see you in visions, and I thank you for saving us."
"I'm Sage," I blushed as Kento nudged my side.
"May I see Dais?" Sada asked quietly.
"Sure," I looked into her pleading eyes, suddenly coming to life with love and happiness. They glowed bright as the sun and emanated light brighter than stars because of love.
"Thank you," she hugged me, and then Kento, who laughed, biting his lip.
"What's going on in here?" Mia bust in the room. "Sage, what are you doing? Kento, if you're doing anything remotely obscene..."
"No, Mia, I think Sada needs to see Dais. They're married, Mia, and it's a long story, but basically Dais got Sada out of the Netherworld and betrayed Talpa," I grinned slightly. Mia raised her eyes, nodding. I walked out in the hallway, holding up a finger to tell Kento and Sada it wouldn't take long.
"So, what's going on?" Mia whispered when I closed the door.
"Sada, the priestess, is married to Dais, and they got out of the Dynasty by jumping in a healing river. Dais is missing his kanji," Mia raised her eyes comprehending the news. She nodded for me to tell her more. "The crazy thing is Sada seems to have powers that null Talpa's. She kept Talpa from interfering with their escape, Mia, and I'd really like to know more about that river."
"Okay," Mia frowned, brow furrowing in thought. A lock of brunette hair fell across her face. "I guess the questionings went well."
"No, Dais won't tell us anything, and Sada told Kento and I a lot, but we've come to a deadlock. They won't do anything unless they can see each other," Mia smiled slightly. She giggled, eyes sparkling with flares of romance.
"That's sweet," Mia sighed. I'd never seen her act like a five-year- old in love before. I tapped her shoulder, snapping her out of her newly found romantic mood. "We're going to let them see each other."
"I told Sada yes, but I have to go get Dais. You can go make sure Sada gets dressed," I walked into the other room to see Dais stiffly sitting, sullenly looking away from three very pissed Ronins.
"Dais, what clothing size do you wear?" I asked. He turned towards me, eyes tired and angry. "You can see Sada, but we'd all prefer you dressed."
"I..." Dais practically jumped towards the door, eyes going from stewing and bitter to excited and alert. It sort of resembled Mia's mood swing.
"No," Rowen groaned. "Sage, don't do it."
"You'll have to argue with Mia, too, if that's the way you feel because we've decided it's best after talking to Sada," I explained. Cye frowned, opening his drawers. He threw out a couple pairs of jeans on the floor. "See, Cye's being good."
"I don't need help dressing," Dais replied, picking up a pair of jeans, studying them over. He shot us a glare, and I motioned for everyone to evacuate the room. I shut the door and posted Ryo, Rowen, and Cye in front of it before heading back down to see Kento standing in front of Mia's door.
"Girls," Kent rolled his eyes. "Mia wanted to help her pick out the 'right outfit.' Come on, what doesn't a pair of jeans and T-shirt pull off? If you ask me, that's the perfect outfit for everything."
"Kento," I shook my head as Mia's door opened up and Sada stepped out. Her black hair still hung down, and she wore a gold chain with a little heart on it. The long sleeve yellow shirt fit her skinny form nicely as did her khaki pants. I stared at a pair of Mia's simple brown, pointed toe boats on her feet. "Well, Mia, you did a job."
"She's lovely enough without me," Mia rolled her eyes. Sada looked nervously around.
"Sada, this is Rowen, Ryo, and Cye," each extended their hand in turn to her. She shook each hand politely, smiling at each of them. "They're friends of mine."
"I see," Sada brushed past me in a sudden flurry of movement. I spun my head around as she leapt up into the air, jumping into Dais's arms, knocking him right back in Cye's room.
"My love!" Sada laughed as she wrapped her arms around his neck, laying her head on his shoulder. Dais found Sada's face, turning it towards him. Truthfully, I never knew the warlords could smile, but I don't think I'd ever seen someone smile like that before, just like all the rocks in the world turned to gold, and now, they were his.
Dais smoothed Sada's hair and began to kiss her. I heard a low moan from Ryo, and a yelp as Mia nudged him in the side. Rowen rolled his eyes, tapping Kento to go down stair with him. The three of them exited. Cye just stood there, eyes raised at the scene of very intense kissing passion although Dais had started to kiss her neck and arms.
"It's just like in the movies," Mia squeaked. I grinned at Mia. Cye looked at me, nodding his head, eyes raised as Sada let out a gentle moan. Cye let out a distinct cough, and a couple more before they stopped and turned our way.
"Well," Sada blushed a little, but Mia just waved it off, still smiling. I never knew she was such a romantic. "Sorry we scared off your friends."
"It's okay," Mia waved it off again. "You deserved it."
"Like something to eat? I don't think anyone will be scared off by food," Cye smiled, turning towards the stairs. "Unless Rowen cooks it," Cye muttered as he walked towards the kitchen.
(Smiles) Note: All kissing information came from personal experiences! (Laughs and smiles) Anyway, I'd like about five more reviews on this story before I post the next (already written) chapter. The sooner they come, the sooner I post, but Thanks always, MorganRay.
