Emotions Vs Power
ch 15
"You knew that Reann was going to turn traitor!" Tento yelled enraged.
"What!? Are you out of your mind? I didn't know that she was going to switch sides!" Katie yelled back.
"What's with all of the yelling in here?" Maguyser asked as he entered the room. He looked around and saw only two instead of three of his fighters. "Where's Reann?" Katie and Tento cringed a bit, because both of them knew that they had to inform him, or otherwise he would find out for himself.
"Master...Reann switched sides. She's with the Ronins now as we speak." Tento replied as he braced himself for Maguyser to release his anger.
"It doesn't matter, she was useless anyway. I have what I want, but unfortunately, only part of my revenge is completed." Maguyser said as he paced through the candle lit room.
"Only part, master?" Katie asked in slight confusion.
"Yes, the only part of my revenge that's missing is the destruction of the Ronin Warriors. I have my warrior back, and I have the one person that can change that being held captive in the dream of tortures. It's been a while since I've used that particular spell. I'm surprised that it actually works." Maguyser replied with a laugh.

Fuming as he was pacing the room, trying to calm himself down, but he knew that he wouldn't calm down until he had Kaye back safe and sound. Reann watched Kento as he paced, Kento saw that she was watching him. So he threw her an angry glare and a low growl in his own way that he doesn't trust her at all.
Reann looked away, and Kento continued to pace. "I don't blame him. Why would he want to trust someone that hurt the one that he cares about. I know that I wouldn't want to either." Reann thought to herself.
"So now what? We can't just stay here and keep hidden!" Sage asked as he was starting to get just a little annoyed.
"I know Sage, but until we come up with how to find Kaye, and get her and Katie back, we're staying." Ryo replied as he closed his eyes.
"But Ryo, the only one that can get Katie back is Kaye." Cye said as he glanced over towards Kento. As soon as her name was said, he stopped pacing and slammed his fist into the wall.
"Damn!" Kento swore angrily as he pulled out his hand from the giant hole.
"Kento!" Rowen scolded with a slight frown.
"What! I'm not going to apologize for my actions, Rowen, so forget it!" Kento replied as he glanced over at him.
"Guys knock it off! We can't afford to fight among us. That's exactly what they want us to do. Don't you see that?" Cye asked as he was trying to calm them down.
"Yea." Kento replied as he sighed. "Sorry Rowen."
"I'm sorry to Kento. I...We all know how concerned you are about Kaye, so are we. Don't worry, we'll find her, ok." Rowen said as he looked over to him. Kento nodded to show that he understood.
"We might as well assume that Maguyser knows that Kaye is the only one that can bring Katie back, right." Sage said as he decided to change the conversation a bit.
"Yea, so then that doesn't give us much time." Ryo replied as he finally stood up.
"Wait, you're not thinking of going out there and trying to find them on your own, are you?" Reann asked urgently.
"Yea, what's it to you anyway?" Kento snapped back.
"It's just that I think that it'll be quicker if I helped you find your way around here, that's all." Reann replied as she got in front of them.
"Yea right. like we're going to trust you! As far as we know, you'll turn on us as soon as you get the chance!" Kento said angrily.
"Look, I don't care that you trust me or not! I didn't have to save your friend's life back there! I could have just let her kill him off, but I didn't!" Reann snapped back.
"Hey, hey! That's enough! We're wasting more and more time standing here and listening to the two of you argue! Now either you two can bury it or we can just waste even more time! It's your choice, so what's it going to be?" Ryo asked as he was more than just a little annoyed.
"Alright, alright, but if you even think of betraying us, then you'll be sorry, you got me." Kento warned as he glared at her.
"Yea I got ya. Now let's go already. I'm getting bored just standing here." Reann replied as she lead them out.

In Kaye's mind...Smoky images of people glided all around her like ghosts. Some of those images passing through her, making her become cold. Kaye dropped to her knees as she wrapped her arms around herself, shuddering from the immense cold. She tries to get up, but each time Kaye does, she falls back down again. Haunting voices of people being in pain and suffering echo through out her mind. "Stop it! Please, no more!" Kaye pleads in a shaky voice as she keeps on trying to stand. Just then, Kaye's kanji of determination started to glow. The smoky images started to back away into the shadows. As soon as they were far enough away, Kaye finally could stand. She started to walk again in no particular direction. She knew that this was only the beginning of what Maguyser had planned. But what did he have planned anyway? She wasn't sure, and she wasn't sure if she wanted to find out.
"I don't know if you can hear me, but please hurry, Kento." Kaye thought as her kanji faded.
"Kaye?" Kento asked quietly as he suddenly stopped, making them run into him.
"Kento?" Cye asked as he looked at him with concern.
"I heard her, or at least I think I did." Kento replied as he slightly frowned.
"This way." Reann said as she directed them down a corridor that lead to where Kaye is being held. As she glanced back she noticed that they were still standing there. "Well, are you coming or what? You want your friend back right?"
"Yea, of course we do. What kind of question is that?" Rowen asked in slight annoyance.
"Never mind." Reann replied as she shook her head and continued to lead them. They went a bit further down the corridor, until they came upon a door that seemed to be blocking them from continuing on any further.
"Great, so now what?" Kento asked as he rolled his eyes.
"Now we go in, it was open." Reann replied as she pushed the door open. The huge metal door creaked, as it slowly opened.
The guys cringed as the door creaked.
"Loud enough?" Sage asked sarcastically as they went inside.
"It's too dark, and too quiet, I don't like this at all." Rowen said with a bit of uneasiness.
"I know what you mean, Rowen. I don't like it either." Sage replied as they all cautiously continued their way inside.
"What the..?" Kento asked as he squinted in order to see. "Kaye?"
"Kento, wait!" Ryo called out to him as Kento ran over to her. Ignoring Ryo, Kento kept running towards her. When he finally made it to Kaye, he stopped.
"Don't worry, angel, everything is going to be alright." Kento whispered her nickname to her as he was looking for a key, or anything that would free her. As he continued to look, he noticed that she gave no indication of a response, verbal or otherwise. "Angel? Guys, something's wrong!"
The others quickly ran over to them. "Kento, what's wrong?" Cye asked in concern.
"Kaye's not responding." Kento replied quietly.
"Kento, move." Sage said as he guided him out of the way. Sage frowned slightly as he began to look her over. He couldn't really see anything wrong with her per say. But when he got to her eyes, he backed away.
"Sage?" Ryo asked in concern.
"Her eyes..." Sage replied in shock.
"What about her eyes Sage?" Cye asked as he looked at him. "Sage?"
"See for yourself." Sage replied quietly.
Cye frowned at him, and then he looked closely at Kaye's eyes. "Oh God...She's not..."
"No Torrent, Dream Walker isn't dead. Well not yet anyway, we'll see what happens when the master is done with her, then we'll see if she's dead or not." Tento replied as he and Katie came in blocking their only way out.
