Emotions Vs Power

ch13

Sage and Ryo looked up as they heard their cell door opening. The light in the corridor poured into the dark cell, making

them shield their eyes for a split second before they could adjust their vision. "Who's there?!" Ryo demanded as the figure

in the door walked in.

"It's Reann." she replied as she partly closed the cell door.

"What do you want?" Sage asked hotly.

"I have some information that I thought you would like to know." Reann replied as she looked over at him.

"I bet." Sage said as he rolled his eyes.

"Fine, if you don't want to know what Maguyser just did to Katie, then I guess..." Reann replied as she was about to leave.

"No..Wait, what did Maguyser do to Katie?" Ryo asked in concern.

"Ryo, are you crazy? What makes you think that whatever she says is true?" Sage asked in disbelief.

Ryo glares at Sage, "Sage, Katie is the only family that I have left! So excuse me if I..."

"Ryo, take it easy, I understand." Sage replied, "Alright, tell us what happened to Katie." Reann gave an about time look towards them and stated to explain what happened not too long ago. Needless to say that both of them were pretty ticked. Then when she was finished, she left the two Ronins alone.

"When I get out of here..." Ryo started to say as he tugged at his chains.

"You mean when we get out of here, don't you?" Sage asked with a smirk.

"Yea, when we get out of here." Ryo replied.

"Didn't get much sleep last night, did you?" Tento asked as he appeared out of nowhere.

"What was your first clue?" Kaye asked back as she glanced over to him.

"I work for the Elders, remember." Tento replied with a smirk.

"Then you already knew that we were going to call for you this morning." Kaye said as she stayed where she was.

"Yea we did," Tento replied, "Look, for what it's worth, I'm sorry for you know."

"Yea well, it's not like you or the Elders would do anything to prevent it from happening." Kaye said as her temper was starting to show.

"Look this isn't the time or place to get into it." Tento started to say.

"For once, I actually agree with you." Kaye replied as she calmed down.

"Kaye, there you are, sheesh, don't scare me like that, ok." Kento said as he and the others came outside.

Kaye turned around and faced them, "sorry Kento, I didn't mean to scare you." she replied as she looked at them apologetically.

"So then, are all of you ready to go?" Tento asked as he turned his back on them.

"Yea! I'm ready to go and kick Maguyser's sorry ass!" Kento cheered as he punched his opened hand.

"Fools, they don't realize what they are getting themselves into." Tento thought with a smirk as he glanced back. Kaye caught his glance, something about it made her feel uneasy. Tento smiled at her, as he noticed that she caught his glance. Kaye started to back away a bit, but in the process she ran into Cye.

"Kaye, are you all right?" Cye asked as he turned around to face her.

"Ah yea Cye, um, sorry for running into you, I guess that I should have watched where I was going." Kaye replied. Cye looked at her with a slight frown, he could see that her eyes were troubled by something.

"Kaye, what's wrong?" Cye whispered to her.

Kaye gave a quick look back towards Tento and then back to Cye. "I'm not sure, but I don't exactly trust him." Kaye whispered as she motioned over to Tento who was getting everyone ready to go. "I don't know why, but I have this feeling that he's up to something."

"Hey, are you two coming or what?" Rowen asked as he looked over to them.

"Yea Rowen we're coming," Cye replied and then looked towards Kaye again. "What do you mean?"

"Do me a favor, and please keep an eye on him." Kaye whispered back as they joined the others.

"Is everyone ready, now?" Tento asked as he looked towards Cye and Kaye skeptically. They both gave a quick nod, and then with a bright flash of light all of them were gone.

"Ryo, what are you doing?" Sage asked as he noticed that Ryo was looking around.

"I'm trying to find something." Ryo replied as he continued to look.

"What are you trying to find?" Sage asked as he was starting to get a little annoyed.

"I'm trying to find something to pick these locks with. Now if you don't mind, it would go a lot faster if you would look around too." Ryo replied as he gave Sage an annoyed look.

"Ok ok, sheesh, I'll help look." Sage said as he started to look as well. After about twenty more minutes of looking neither one of them found anything that they could pick their chains with.

Not too far away, "Hey, I could get use to traveling like this." Kento said with a smirk. "It beats taking a subway."

"Kento!" Rowen replied as he rolled his eyes.

"What?" Kento asked as he looked over towards Rowen.

"Never mind, "Rowen replied, "Come on, we'd better hurry up and get to finding Ryo and Sage."

"Why don't you three go down that corridor," Tento suggested, and then he motioned over to the second one. "And the Dream Walker, and I will take this one."

Kaye shot Cye a look that mainly said, bad idea. "I have a better idea, why don't we all just stick together. That way, Maguyser won't..." Cye started to say.

"No, it'll be better if we split up, that way we'll be able to find your friends quicker." Tento interrupted as he quickly grabbed onto Kaye's wrist. Kaye tried to pull out of it, but he tightened his grip. In the torch lit corridors, the guys couldn't see Tento's eyes very well, but Kaye could, there was something in his eyes that sent all of her alarm bells off big time. Then just before Kaye could say anything, a wall shot up out of nowhere and separated them.

"Kaye! Are you all right?! Kaye!" Kento yelled through the wall.

"She's fine Hardrock, listen, since we're already split up, why don't we go ahead and look for your friends?" Tento asked as he was holding Kaye close to him, and covering her mouth tightly with his other hand.

"If she's ok, then why did Tento answer for her?" Cye wondered as he was starting to get suspicious towards him.

"Well, alright, I guess you do have a point. We need to find Ryo and Sage as quickly as possible. Be careful alright." Rowen

yelled over to them.

"We'll be careful, Strata. You three just go down that corridor, and we'll take this one, just like we planned before. Whoever finds them first, get back to the main room of where we first came here and we'll leave." Tento yelled back.

"You have better take care of her!" Kento yelled as they took off in finding Ryo and Sage.

"Oh don't you worry, Hardrock, I'll take very good care of her." Tento replied as he tightened his grip on her and vanished. When Tento got to where he wanted, he gave a quick nod of his head, and that opened the door to a small cell that he threw her into, and then it came shut.

"Well done Tento, I see that you've brought the Dream Walker back." Maguyser said as he looked in.

"It wasn't too hard, but I'm also here to inform you that the other Ronins are here, and they're searching for their two friends." Tento replied.

"Excellent, that means that everything is coming together. Make sure that they find them, and continue with the plan." Maguyser ordered as he stayed behind.

"Of course master." Tento replied with a bow as he, Katie, and Reann disappeared.
