Chapter 3 – Spring Break
The long a-waited spring break finally arrived, and with it, all it's glory. No school, just two weeks of lazy bliss. Oh, and for the Ronin's that meant time at Mia's house, playing video games, swiming in the lake, meditating, and just having fun.
It was almost noon, and all the Ronin's were piled into Kento's jeep, his pride and joy, and were due to arrive at Mia's house in mere minutes.
"So Sage, this girl that's gonna be there, with Mia, what's she like?"
Kento asked from the front seat, his eyes still glued to the road. Sage shrugged and replied
"Nothing special, she seemed kind of odd to me, though."
Rowen grinned, and replied
"Cause she didn't throw herself at you?"
Sage frowned, and shrugged his shoulders, again. Ryo raised an eyebrow and said sarcastically
"She's probably not human, then, to withstand Sage's charm."
Sage rolled his eyes and said
"Not human? She looked more like a boy than a girl."
The other ocupants of the vehicle shuddered, and looked around at each other, Kento too, nearly driving into a tree that somehow got into his way. Stupid tree.
"Tom boys, they're so annoying."
Kento whined from the drivers seat. Cye rolled his eyes and said
"That's only because you got your butt kicked by one a few years ago."
Kento flushed, and went quiet, Rowen, Ryo, and Sage all gawked at the human garbage disposal, wondering what sort of monstrous creature would be able to beat a guy like Kento. They all shuddered. Mostrous creature indeed.
The five friends reached Mia's mansion only seconds later. Kento parked, and the group pulled their things out of the vehicle, and headed towards the front door. Opening the door, Ryo called
"Mia, we're here!"
Mia came out of the living room, and smiled at them.
"Long time no see. You all know where your rooms are, though, Ryo, you'll have to go into the one across from your old room. A friend of mine is staying there."
Kento smiled innocently and asked
"A friend?"
Mia turned towards the kitchen and said
"Yeah, but she's out right now. Something about training in the woods. She'll be back in about an hour."
The group all headed upstairs to their appointed rooms, and quickly unpacked. They then went back downstairs, and into the kitchen where Mia was, pulling some things out for lunch. Cye, of course, offered to help, and before the others knew what was happening, they were kicked out of the room, and exiled to the living room.
"Hey, Ryo, where's White Blaze? Wasn't he gonna come?"
Ryo sat up straighter on the couch, and looked at Rowen.
"Yeah, I think he's coming. Something spooked him a few days ago, and he ran off."
Rowen and Sage raised an eyebrow, while Kento looked at Ryo curiously.
"White Blaze? Spooked? Wow, go figure."
Ryo frowned at Kento and opened his mouth to reply, when Sage said
"You know, if Mia's friend is training in the woods, maybe she'd like some company."
He stood up, and headed for the front door. The three remaining Ronins groaned.
"Let's follow, and see what happens."
Kento said, casting a glance in the direction of the houses front exit. Rowen and Ryo agreed, and the three set out after the bearer of Halo.
Kira scowled at her tree-like-adversary. The large branch she was using as a quarter-staff had hardly put a dent in the large oak. She spun the make-shift-staff in her hands, and spun around, swinging it in the air. Training with various weapons was how she'd been taught. Though she specialized in double swords, the quarter-staff was easier to train with; and since she didn't have any swords with her, it would have to do.
Kira's ears twitched when she heard some rustling in the bushes nearby. With a hidden grin, Kira dropped the abused-looking-staff, and put her foot in the middle of it. gripping one end, she pulled hard, with all her strength, and snapped it in two. Lifting both halfs the the almost staff, she threw one at the intruder, who dared to spy on her.
"Hey, you should be careful with that thing. You could poke an eye out."
She recognized the teen who stepped into view as Sage, one of Mia's friends. He held the other half of the staff with one hand, and was smiling at her. Oh, Mia had warned her about him. The flirting king, he was supposedly called. Kira smirked and said
"Yours preferably."
Sage chuckled, and opened his mouth to respond, when Kira sunk into a fighting stance. Her half of the broken sword now being wielded as a sword. It wasn't close, but it had to do. Sage raised and eyebrow and said
"I think it's only fair to tell you, I'm the captain of this at my school."
Kira quirked both eyebrows, and said to him
"Does it look like I care?"
"Apparently not"
Oonervous laugh ok, I gave an update. I wasn't planning on it, but for the few reviews who've asked me too..well, lets just say, I got incredibly bored, then suddenly inspired to write another chapter. Sorry if you were waiting, for some unsee-able reason, but I've busy with my other fic, and I can't update at my house. So I can only update once a month, any amount of time within a week. If that doesnt' make sense, I'm sorry. Well, anyways, pleaze Review,
c'ya
