Forbidden Child
ch 2
A few hours into the night, unaware to the Ronins, Josey, and Tai, someone was watching them from the darkness of the catwalk. 'I've found it, after all this time, I've finally found what I've been looking for.' the figure thought, as he narrowed his wild-cat eyes, and focused onto his target. 'It's time.'
"What the?" Ryo asked as he suddenly sensed something.
"Ryo, what is it?" Sage asked, as he looked over to him.
"Don't you sense it?" Ryo asked back as he started to stand. "I think that we'd better get out of here and I mean now."
Just before they could leave, the figure with white hair that goes down to his waist, blood red bangs, with blood red streaks all over that is tied back with a black band. Claw like hands, ancient markings tattooed onto his face. Medium to large build, very agile, half of his body is a medium tan while the other half is red with a white tattoo wavy line going down the center of his body. Wearing a black ninja type pants that go to his shins, and a black tank top, with ninja type shoes; jumped from the catwalk and landed gracefully in front of them. "What's this, leaving so soon?" he asked, as he stood there with a sly grin.
"Who are you? What do you want? Where did you come from?" Tai demanded in a stern tone.
"For now, all that I will tell you is my name, it's Tenkuyo." he replied with an evil grin, and then he looked a bit closer at Tai. "Why do you look so familiar? Oh, I know why, you look like your mother, but you also have your father's fighting spirit, I can see that in your eyes."
"Wha..What do you know about my parents?" Tai asked as she was taken back. "I've never seen you before!"
"Your parents did, but it was for only a brief moment. Let's just say that I'm an old acquaintance of theirs." Tenkuyo replied with a cruel smile as a glint of danger
gleamed in his eyes. "I do believe that you have something that I've been looking for. It would be of your best interest to hand it over. That is of course if you don't want anything to happen to you or your friends."
"Hey pal! The only one that's going to have something happen to them, is you! Unless you back off now!" Kento warned, as he narrowed his eyes.
"That's very amusing, coming from a mere mortal." Tenkuyo replied with a laugh.
"Who are you calling a mere mortal, you freak from a circus side show?!" Josey growled as she glared at him. Tenkuyo pretended not to hear Josey's insult, as he kept his eyes on Tai.
"You don't know, do you?" Tenkuyo asked as he raised an eyebrow at her.
"Know what? You're not making any sense!" Tai replied slightly confused.
"It looks like I've said too much. So I believe that I better take my leave," Tenkuyo said as he looked over at Tai as he was about to disappear. "We'll meet again, count on it."
"Come back here!" Rowen called out to Tenkuyo as he disappeared from where he stood.
"Forget it Rowen, he's gone." Cye said as he frowned in annoyance.
"This is just great! It's this close to Christmas break, and out of nowhere this freak decides to pop in for an unscheduled visit..." Josey replied annoyed, then she saw that Tai seemed to be in her own world. "Tai?"
"Huh, oh sorry." Tai said apologetically, as she looked over to her.
"Hey, are you alright?" Kento asked in concern.
"Yeah, fine." Tai replied quietly. "Sorry, but I think that I'm going to call it a night. See you tomorrow?"
"Yeah tomorrow." Kento replied as he and the others watched her leave.
"Do you guys think that it's a good idea to have Tai go home alone? I mean what if..?" Josey asked as she looked around at the guys.
"I don't think that he would try anything again tonight, but maybe some of us should go and make sure she gets home alright." Ryo suggested as he got Josey's hint.
"I'm way ahead of you, Ryo." Kento replied as he was half way to the door.
"Hey Kento, wait up we'll come with ya." Rowen said, as he and Cye hurried over to him.
Just before they were going to leave, "one question." Cye replied with a slight frown.
"What's that?" Sage asked as he looked over to them.
"Does anyone know where she lives?" Cye asked curiously. Judging by the silence, Cye got his answer. "I didn't think so."
"So now what? Are we just going to have to wait to see if she shows up to class or not tomorrow?" Josey asked in disbelief.
"Unfortunately, that's all we can do...For now." Ryo replied as he saw the look on Josey's face.
"That's...That's just plain stupid!" Josey shot back.
"Josey...Wait." Sage said as she was about to storm out.
"No Sage, I'm not going to wait! I'm going home, I'll...I'll see you tomorrow. I just need to be alone right now." Josey replied as she quickly walked out.
"Great, just when we get a break, some other type of evil always crawls out of the wood works." Rowen complained as he leaned against the wall and crossed his arms.
"Come on Rowen, none of us are exactly thrilled about it either." Cye replied, as he sat down.
"So now what? We don't know what this Tenkuyo character wants, or even where he came from." Sage said as he looked around for anyone to give suggestions.
"I know one thing, he's not from the Dynasty, otherwise, we would have seen him before." Ryo reasoned.
"So then, where is he from? More importantly, what is he? He definitely didn't feel like he was human." Rowen asked.
"I guess that we'll find out sooner or later. But right now, I think that we'd better try and find the girls. I can't seem to get rid of this uneasy feeling." Ryo replied as he stood up and headed for the door.
"Ryo, do you believe that the girls are in danger?" Kento asked as he looked up towards him.
"It's possible, so I think that we'd better split up and find them, and fast." Ryo replied as he headed outside. The other guys looked around, and then quickly got up and followed Ryo outside.
As Josey was walking home in the cold winter night. She was talking to herself about how unbelievable the guys were about what just happened. The people that she passed looked at her rather funny, she didn't pay any attention to them, and just kept on walking. "I...Ooh, I can't believe them! Men..." Josey ranted angrily as she continued her way home. Then when she got home, Josey slammed the door and walked over to her living room, and plopped down onto the couch and started to flip through the channels, totally unaware of the shadow that was lurking out side of her window.
Tai finally made it home. She turned on the lights, and then walked over to her room and changed her clothes. She then headed to her training room to let out some steam and also to try and clear her head. She got so into her training that she blocked out everything else that was going on. Outside of her window was also a shadow just waiting for it's perfect shot. Both shadows at the same time reached for a weapon, pulled back, took aim...and....
